Laura Bear's not so rockNroll Halloween

HI LOVERS

OMGeee the baby is napping for real and I had time to play around.

So I made this ROCKNROLL nonsense. JUST FOR FUN! Wow... being creative....

I have to say, it's hard to find time for that with a newborn...

I hope you are having a rockNroll halloween.

Next door to our home is a church... it looked super spooky last night, All Hallow's eve... with the rain...

so I took a pic when I was up at the 2 am feeding from my bedroom window and then another at the 4 am feeding from the nursery window....

then I filtered / played around and made them super creep....

anywhooooo.....

For Halloween we are planning on eating too much candy (sorry baby ila, you will have a sugar buzz tomorrow)

and turing the porch light off early so that I can eat more candy (greedy mcGreedsters over here).

I have no costume for ila... bad mom... but I put a slouchy beanie on her with a film camera next to her and called her a hispter... see her

here

.

What are you going to be???

Here are a few instagram accounts you should follow that will get you in the halloween moooood....

Sisters of the Black Moon

Light Witch

Bona Drag

Happy Halloweenie!

Laura Bear's Beauty Binge

What do you do when you are about a week past your due date and feeling like a sweaty hippo?

...you go on a beauty binge... something to spruce up the ole' Laura Bear arsenal...

I have been lovinnnggg the Bumble & Bumble

Surf Spray

,

Shampoo

&

Conditioner

...

and with long hair I kind of blow through a lot of it... restock... check!

I also grabbed a bottle of

Queen Helen Mint Julep mask

...

I had a bottle of this before we moved... not sure where it ran off to... but at $3.99, no biggie!

This is a great all purpose mask that makes me feel glow-y. It dries hard to the awesome teenage-sleepover green color.

I am trying out this

Thayers Rose Petal and Witch Hazel toner

.

I really like how clean my face feels after using a toner, but I dislike how dry most toners make your skin.

This Thayers version has aloe vera in it and my skin feels really nice after... so far loving!

Also I picked up a few unnecessaries ...

rose water

... just to splash on everything. It smells so good.

And

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Ultra-Hydrating Body Butter

.

. it has a nice apricot scent that lasts all day.

Plus, it doesn't have any nasty ingredients in it, so baby can lick my arm without worries.

I am in need of a new body wash...  I have been using

this Burt's Bees

... but I am almost out...

so I am in the market for something new... any recommendations?

Here's to a pretty week ahead (and hopefully a new baby)!
