Random Haps.

Hey friends.

This post is gonna be kind of all over the place.

Hope you can hang with me.

I'll start it off with a little movie convo.

We've been burning through our netflix choices this summer.

Recently we've seen a few good movies, and some bad movies.

Here's my thoughts on a few of them...

Lincoln Lawyer- Two thumbs up. Very good. I wished I had read the book. It was entertaining, suspenseful, and kept us on the edge of our seats.

Hall Pass- Two thumbs down.  Terrible.  Did not finish it.

Red Riding Hood- One thumb half way up.  Decent. We did finish this one.  I liked the love story, but the acting was bad and the storyline was not much better.  We just kept watching because we were determined to guess who the wolf was.  We were both wrong.  So I guess it wasn't all that bad, but not great.

Easy A-  Two thumbs up. LOVED.  Watched this on a total whim.  Had never heard of it.  Emma Stone is great, Stanley Tucci made me laugh multiple times, and Thomas Haden Church had me chuckling a few times too.  Good message, and loved the irony in it. 

That's all the movie critiquing from me for now.

Last week was 9 years that I have been married to Mr. Hass. 

Time sure does fly.

We had our babysitter come over last night and she put the girls to bed.

We skidaddled and went to Citrus Grille for dinner.

Mr. H gave me a pretty new watch that I had circled and ear marked in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale catalogue.  He also upgraded my Glen Ivy pass so that when I get my massage I can now stay for the whole day.  What a guy huh?

I got him man stuff.  You know, new rainbows, the ESPN book, another book, a hat, sweat bands, you know, man stuff.

This is the view we had from our table.

After dinner we walked to Miguel's Sr for margaritas and dessert.

It was a fun night.

It's always fun if you are carrying a small hot pink clutch, and not a large bag filled with fruit snacks and wet wipes.

Get ready for some more random.
I told you this was all over the place...

These pics are from last week one day.
We stopped by my Mom's house and the kids got a kick out of playing games on Mom's ipad.

It's almost scary how well these kids can navigate their way around modern technology.
You should see Claire work that touch screen on Mr. Hass' cell phone.

Picked up some cute sweats for the girls at Old Navy.
We are going to Bass Lake soon and it is usually cool in the mornings and evenings up there.

Aren't these drinks pretty?

Sparkling french berry lemonade.  From TJ's.

This is inside the girls' bathroom.  That white cupboard is where I keep all their hair products.

I have been asked by a couple people what I use on their hair so here you go...

I especially love that pink one for them.  It's called ego boost and it is a leave in conditioner.  I put it in their wet hair after baths and it gives them a little body in the morning and prevents bad tangles too.

Shannon this one's for you...

A few of my favorite make up items.

I am really no make up expert, and more and more I am trying to cut costs so I don't even spend a ton of money on my make up but I do splurge on a few things. 

1.  Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer- I LOVE this big time.  On days when I don't want to put on liquid foundation and powder, this is enough to give a light coverage, and it also has spf.  It is one of my splurge items at $45 but I probably buy two a year.

2.  bare minerals moisturizer- I recently bought this at Ulta and loved it.  This is my second jar and my skin is some what dry so it is really nice without feeling too heavy.

3.  Laura Mercier creme eyeshadow- I use this as a base underneath my shadow to keep it from creasing, or just alone on days that I wear very little makeup.  It is pricey at $22 but it lasts me about 7-8 months.

4.  Nars eyeshadow in Cyprus- love this color.  Their shadows are big and last a long time. 

5.  mirabella eyeshadow quad- I buy this at one of the places I buy hair color.  It is a professional line but I am not sure where else it is sold.  I get a great price on it and I like their shadows just as well as Mac.

6.  Mario Badescu cucumber mask-  A client told me about this and I just recently bought it.  I like it and it's mild enough to use 2-3 times a week.  I like to mask it while I'm in the bath with my latest "O" magazine.  ;)

7.  Kiehl's moisturizing lip balm- this was a gift and it is one of my favorite chapstick/lip moisturizers ever.  It's amazing.  I'm almost out and am afraid to know what it costs, but I will definitely get more.

8.  tinted coverup stick by Murad- works great and has tea tree to zap zits while you wear it.  I bought it at Ulta.

9.  Nars bronzing stick -color is South Beach- This is a splurge my friends but it is amazing.  I wear it all over the place.  Over my make up, across my temples for a little bronzing action.  On my cheeks and eyes after I've used tinted moisturizer for a little more color.  It's fun, slightly sparkly, and fabulous.

10. lip gloss from Bath & Body Works.  Can't get enough.
11.  liquid foundation from Prescriptives- best personal color match I have ever found.
12.  under eye concealer- also from Prescriptives.
13.  Mac bronzer in refined golden- can't live without.
14.  Mac blush in prism- fave.  used for years.
15.  cover girl eye liner- cheap but it is nice and creamy.  I like it.
16.  neutrogena compact-  way cheaper than mac, and I go through these like water.

Anybody still there?
