5 Reasons Adulting Sucks!

#1 STRESS

If I have learned one thing about being an adult it is that you stress. You stress and you stress even when there is nothing to stress about. Then you stress about stressing. Money, kids, jobs, relationships, payments. Everything is stressful when you are in charge and that sucks!

#2 MONEY

You’d think that this would be one of those adult things that is awesome but, really, being in charge of money sucks! It means that you have to be 100% responsible all the time and you can’t buy that new dress you’ve been eyeing unless you can fit it into the budget. Nothing is free these days either! You have to pay for water, lights, heat, and everything else you can think of.

#3 GROCERY SHOPPING

Did you know that food doesn’t just magically appear in the cupboards? Me neither until I moved out with my son and opened my cupboards for the first time. Also side not: FOOD IS EXPENSIVE. Why do we have to pay so much to not die?! That seems unfair to me but whatever. Anyways grocery shopping sucks. You get the point.

#4 BUDGETING

Okay, so this sort of ties into the money thing but I definitely think that it is so awful that it deserves it’s very own section. BUDGETING SUCKS! You have to decide how much money goes where and when it goes there and no one ever thinks to add a makeup budget because APPARENTLY lights, food, and heat are more “Important.” It basically means that you have to create something that parents you after your parent is done.

#5 EXPECTATIONS

This is probably the absolute worst part about being an adult. You go to sleep one night seventeen with hope in your eyes and wake up eighteen and everyone expects you to have your shit figured out and suddenly you die a little inside… Well that went to a dark place.

On the bright side you can buy alcohol so… It’s not all bad!

My Favorite Wake-Me-Up Smoothie!

I'm one of those people that loves drinking smoothies for breakfast! It is one of my favorite because it is super refreshing and it gives me a ton of energy to start my day with. There are so many amazing smoothie options out there and it can become very overwhelming very quickly! I have found my favorite smoothie for those mornings that I want a little extra pick-me-up and I thought I would share it with all of you. Here it is:

You will need:

• One cup of spinach
• One cup of mixed berries (I prefer frozen to make the smoothie cold but you can use fresh)
• Orange Juice (If you like thinner smoothies use more and if you like thicker smoothies use less)

• Blend!

It's as simple as that and it tastes absolutely delightful! I hope you guys try this recipe out and love it as much as I do. Thanks for reading! I'll see you all next time!

Rimmel London Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner

If you know me,  you know liquid eyeliner is a must-have. I need it in my life. I cannot count how many liquid eyeliners I have gone through since I started wearing makeup regularly. I tend to just grab the first one I see in the drugstore, try it, and decide if I like it along the way.

This liquid eyeliner did not make my favorites list, unfortunately. Generally, I like the brand Rimmel. I think it's a good quality brand that is pretty affordable. But I wasn't a super big fan of this particular product.

My reason for that is 90% the applicator. It is a rock hard, pointed tip which is way to thick to even have a chance of making a thin line. The other 10% reason this is on my no-buy list is the formula. It has the tendency to smudge and weep especially in the inner corner of my eye. Not great.

It retails for $5.99 so it is an affordable option. But I have found other ones, even cheaper alternatives, that work better. This is one that I will not be repurchasing. 

Leave a comment below if you have a liquid eyeliner for me to try and, if you have tried this eyeliner, comment your thoughts. Thanks for reading!
