Urban Decay's Afterglow Highlighter in Sin #UrbanDecay #afterglow #highlight www.almostherblog.com

In my never-ending quest to find my most loved body, hair, and makeup products I’ve struck some major gold lately with these current favorites of mine. I thought it was about time that I make another post about it since most of these things I have loved for months and months. They are tested by myself and also loved by myself. I am not sponsored in any way to talk about these products but just truly love them all! (Also one of my favorite things is on sale right now so the timing seemed perfect.)

Hello friends! It’s no secret that one of my best loved hobbies is makeup. All of it. Sometimes that can get a little expensive if you are not sure what to watch for so I thought I would pass on the few things that seem to work best for me! (Note: This is not a […]

I was standing in line for the much coveted (and free) protein bars when I first knew something big was about to happen. Seven tall security guards in yellow shirts pushed their way through the crowd shouting, “MOVE to the side people!!! Everyone move!! You guys are not close enough together!! Move it!! MOVE IT!!” […]

Valentine's Day Smoky Look #nakedsmoky #valentinesday #smokyeye #valentinemakeup www.almostherblog.com

Before I jump into this I feel like I need to give a little background on this lovely little eyeshadow palette. I first purchased the Naked Smoky palette about 5 months ago at a sale price (and 5x the points at Ulta) with the intention of making this one of my weight loss goal prizes. Once I […]

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Swatches at almostherblog.com #Midi #Trap #Solow #Creeper #Zipper #ultramatte #colourpop

I’ll be the first one to admit that even though I consider myself a lover of makeup I find it SO hard to commit to a lipstick as much as I should. I really don’t like worrying if my lipstick rubbed off, left a ring, or is starting to make me look like I should join the […]

There is this picture I have of the ideal woman floating around in my head. She’s perfection and she knows it.

She is everything I want to be. She is smart, funny, a good homemaker, and can rock any lipstick color she wants. Plus she is just so damn happy. I want to be her. Problem is I’m hopelessly flawed…or actually, as I like to say, HopeFULLY flawed. There is always hope.

Here I’ll write about my numerous (and humorous) shortcomings, my (mostly happy) thoughts and ideas, and my failures and successes. Here I will strive for perfection and always fall short. Here is where I will try to become Almost “Her.”

“HER” defined: Funny, smart, brave, knowledgeable, beautiful, energetic, laid-back, positive, healthy, crafty, an amazing friend/daughter/girlfriend/wife/mother, happy, spiritual, stress-free, thoughtful, honest, playful, spontaneous, and a bomb diggity cook.♥ (This list is never-ending.)
