BOYFRIENDS BIRTHDAY! (super long, picture heavy)

we celebrated a little early, his birthday is actually on tuesday, but he has midterms and stuff all week so i didnt want to interrupt studying time. lol he gets all serious and tunes the world out when he studies, so boring! lol i study with the tv on, while i surf blogger and talk on the phone. haha im so unproductive :(

my face before dinner:


my face after dinner:face:

- Lancome Ageless Mineral loose powder in natural beige
- Fl!rt blush in too dolly

eyes:
- MAC painterly paint pot (all over eyelid)
- MAC blackground paint pot (in crease)
- MAC print (in crease)
- MAC starts & rockets (on lid)
- Cover Girl champagne (inner lid & inner corner)
- Ulta automatic liner in black

heres what i wore:

omg i did not realize my mirror was so fricken dirty, haha sorry!

-dress: BEBE
- shoes: Steve Maddens



but, the it started to rain outside, and its been sorta chilly here so i decided to dress warmer lol. i have the worst tolerance for the cold, and i live in alaska; its a horrible combination. so, i ended up wearing this.



- pants: Forever 21, they're actually like "work" pants, but made out of this thick legging material.. so they look like leggings, but are totally thicker and warm. they have pockets, and a zipper, but the dress hid them :)

- cardigan: 5|48 (from Saks) i looooove long cardigans :)

this entire outfit made me realize how much bigger i have gotten with the pregnancy and that im still getting bigger. lol i bought this dress last october but it didnt fit me. it literally would slide right off, so tonight was actually my first time wearing it. it fit wonderfully, i even found it to be a bit snug. i bought the pants a month ago and they didnt fit either; i put them on today and they fit perfectly. im glad i can finally put these items to use, but its totally depressing at the same time.

to make things worse when we got home and i tried to take the dress off i couldnt! i couldnt slip it down or up over my head. my boyfriend kept telling me he would have to cut me out of it.. i almost died... until i realized that he didnt pull the zipper down all the way. thats why i couldnt get out of the dress.. haha it was seriously a heart breaking moment for me!

i know im not fat, and im not trying to fish for any compliments or shit like that, but with anyone and any time their body is making such dramatic changes in such a small frame of time theres just a lot of getting use to needed. its really hard to wake up and notice yourself a little bigger each day, or that your clothes dont fit anymore. especially with my hormones raging, its a roller coaster ride. lol but i do love looking down and seeing my baby bump. it always makes my heart melt to think that in 4 more months my lil man will be here and he's going to be amazing!

lol this is what i see everyday when i look down, my bump & i love it

but, anyways! we went out to dinner and it was really nice, we had a great time.
here are some photos & restaurant review. enjoy:)

Simon & Seaforts
www.r-u-i.com
420 L St
Anchorage, AK 99501-5901
(907) 274-3502

the menus is a bit pricey, not an arm and a leg pricey, but its definitely worth the money. i was a little disappointed that although we had made 8:30pm reservations we actually had to sit and wait like 15 minutes to get a table. other than that the rest of the night went smoothly :)

what we ordered (sorry there arent a whole lotta food porn pictures. i promise next time we are there i will take some!):

- calamari with plum sauce (appetizer) $12.00
this was ok, it was lightly breaded, deep fried calamari and red peppers with a five spice seasoning. it had a small kick to it, but not "spicy" in my book. lol boyfriend thought it was a lil spicy though. it was served with a plum sauce, which i could do without.. i dont really like sweet dipping sauces, i would prefer an aeoli sauce any day. the calamari sat on top of a green salad. there was like sprouts, arugula, spinach.. this i could do without either, i dont like any of that shit. hahaha

- house salad with ranch dressing (appetizer) $6.50
salad was super yummy. had just enough ranch to nicely coat all the veggies. they made the salad with romain lettuce ( i prefer iceburg). the croutons were super good too! and the red onions and tomatoes were chopped really small, which made them easier to eat. everything was topped with grated parmesan.

- sweet potatoe fries (side) $6.00
soooooooo good. it came with this weird bbq sauce and mustard sauce sides, which boyfriend and i skipped on and asked for ranch instead, lol. but i love sweet potatoe fries, you seriously cannot go wrong :)

- whiskey pepper cracked steak $33.00 (my dinner)


2 medallions of steak served on top of mashed red potatoes, served with a side of battered and deep fried onion strings and mixed veggies (zucchini, onions) with a jack daniels peppercorn sauce. this was on their daily specials menu, so i dont know if its available all the time, but ommmmg sooooooooooo seriously delicious! i can never eat too much steak at dinner and this was a perfect portion size for me. the veggies and the onion strings were good, but like seriously.. if a restaurant fucked that up.. then i would have to kill the chef myself. haha totally loved it!

- center cut new york strip $39.00 (boyfriends dinner)


12oz new york strip served with au ju, mashed red potatoes and battered deep fried onion strings. this steak was seriously HUGE. like i think an 8 oz steak is already too much, but 12 oz .. it just looks like a beast to me. lol but the boyfriend really enjoyed his meal :)

- strawberry lemonade $4.00 (bottom less)
we each got one, and they were really good. some places just cant do a strawberry lemonade justice. haha but i was looking at the drinks menu and was totally wishing i could get a pomegranate cosmo, or a freaking mojito! ahhhhhhh sometimes pregnancy makes me so sad. haha

also, their water was really good. haha i am completely anal when it comes to drinking water at a restaurant, most of the time the water just tastes like shit. i rarely ever drink water in any public place, haha im like scared shitless of public water fountains. my boyfriend swears that all water tastes the same, and i know for a fucken fact that they dont! some places just have better water than others, and i make sure to make mental notes of where not to drink water. lol

- key lime pie $0.00 (on the house since it was my boyfriends birthday)

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good


muahhaha so cute! i love him

our total came to $103.50, which is like double what we would normally spend for dinner out, but it was so freaking worth it. this was our first time to Simon & Seaforts, but definitely not our last. its located downtown and has the greatest views on Resolution Bay. definitely a great place to dine at, if you are ever in Anchorage please give this place a try! the service there is sensational. our server seriously on his game. he refilled our water every time they reached half full. the food came out fast and it was prepared perfectly. the only down side is that like any downtown restaurant in anchorage its always busy on the weekends, so keep that in mind. even with a reservation expect to wait around 15 - 20 minutes for your table, but they do validate parking *thumbs up*.

i was definitely a happy camper tonight

also, best part about eating here is that you can buy gift cards for it at the Costco's in anchorage (thats what we did, haha we're on a budget!) but we got two $50.00 gift cards for $79.99 at Costco, yay for discounts! i fucking love costco dude, they have the best shit there. we also buy our movie tickets there. definitely check out costco for great savings :D our local costco also sells handbags: burberry, coach, and prada are what i have seen before. they currently have Seven For All Mankind jeans on there (the ones with the A pockets) for $99.99.

FOTN: PREGNANT & GLOWING

everyone says i have that "glow" from being pregnant, but i honestly feel more like im harboring a fugitive.. haha. i havent been wearing makeup for a good 2 months now, sad i know. but i dont have the energy to put my face on, and i was breaking out like a 13 year old boy. now that the break outs have cleared up, i can finally put my face back on again!

the first timester suuuuuuuucked!

we went out last night for my BFFs boyfriends 22nd birthday. i didnt get any pictures from the dinner.. we ate at this japenese/korean/chinese place that seriously sucked balls. so if you are ever in anchorage, stay away from the tempura kitchen! i was so disappointed last night.

i dont really like to be matchy-matchy with my eye makeup and my outfit. so i did a pinky eye, instead of anything in the blue family. i did feel "glowy" last night, haha its hard to feel pretty when you're getting so fat.

pink eyes & pink lips. i loooved it :)

Products used:
MAC painterly paint pot
Light pink & Hot pink e/s from 120 palette
Almay black waterproof eyeline
MAC plush lash mascara
Yellow e/s from 120 palette as a highlight

Face:
MUFE hd invisible cover foundation in #123 desert
Revlon color stay pressed powder in natural beige
Flirt blush in Dolled Up
Chanel Bronzer in Tundra

i didnt get a picture of the entire outfit, lol but i wore a blue empire dress with black leggings, long black leather boots & my BEBE leather jacket.


look at my belly! haha its really not that big, but the dress made it look that way. im a few days shy of 20 weeks (5 months) now :)



& i photo whored my doggies :)



he's so cute & ridiculously fat. lol he is such a big boy now :(

& my daughter was too busy with her chew stick to pay any attention to me lol




haha she looks so funny! chew sticks are like crack to dogs, i swear. my dogs are obsessed with them.

BABY UPDATE & VACATION PICTURES

i went in for an ultra sound appointment this morning. i checked in at 8:00am and seriously sat around for like and 1 1/2 hours before my doctor even saw me. fucking 9:30am rolls around and finally my doctor appears.. haha goodness gracious! not to mention they stuck me in a room where it was hella cold, and apparently they were training someone.. cause my doctor had this other chick do the ultra sound.. and he kept giving her pointers and shit. haha it was the worse ultrasound EVER. baby decided to be all stubborn and not show itself to us. poor thing must've been cold, it was all curled up into a ball.. lol we didnt get to see a damned thing, only the top of its head.

my doctors are still confused about when my due date will actually be. based off of my last menstrual period the due date should be February 14, 2010 (valentines day, supppppper cute!). i got an ultra sound when i was 8weeks pregnant and they estimated it at February 24, 2010. but, at todays ultra sound they estimated it at February 20th or 21st 2010. lol, i really love how completely unsure they are of everything. im really considering switching to another doctor.... but, either way this baby is coming in february :)

GOOD NEWS: WE'RE SCHEDULED TO FIND OUT THE SEX ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2009!

so im sure you are all wondering how my vacation went!?

well i was extremely morning sick the entire time, so i cant say it was super duper great, but i did have a good time. it was a lot more chill than i had anticipated, but seriously... i wouldnt have had it any other way. it involved a lot of eating, lol and HELLA driving. i didnt get as many pictures as i would have liked. i definitely didnt buy as much as i would have liked, but overall it was GOOD :) here are some pictures, enjoy loves!

disneyland. this is where i experienced my first sun burn (EVER!) and it was horrible :( and cause i was pregnant i couldnt ride on any of the rides... which sucked, but i dont really like rides anyways.. theyre scarey! lol but it was ridiculously hot that day (100 degrees!).. + my morning sickness. needless to say i wanted to die by the time it was over.

the only ride i rode was the buzzlightyear one, lol it was fun :)

seriously this thing was soo cute, i wanted one. but i couldnt stomach the $16.00 for it. shit at disneyland is soooooo over priced! haha.. i took my memories home instead :)

then we hopped over to california adventure.. and the misery continued. lol

what i wore:

• shorts from Pacsun
• tank from Target
• sandals from Target
• purse from Coach gracias to my mother-in-law. i <3>

i was also in Oakland, where i saw this.. and it seriously had me dying for days. why was it so funny? i dont know.. but it tickled me very much

&& we were in san diego. we shopped a whole lot & the went to the beach.

haha and yes my boyfriend is supppper tatted up, i think he has like 5 tattoes and counting. & if anyone was wondering.. that is my name on his chest :) i've claimed my territory!

&&&& thank you Linda for the award!
(i couldnt get the picture to work for some reason! )

Rules of acceptance:
1) Acknowledge the person who sent you the award.
2) Nominate 7 other blogs.
3) Share your 7 personality traits so we can get to know you better.

my 7 personality traits:

1. i talk a lot of shit
haha not necessarily in the "hater" status kind of way, although that does occur from time to time, but i think every girl likes to gossip, or has an opinion on something.. and my shit talking is never to be malicious or to slander someone. i just have a fucking opinion about EVERYTHING and i like to talk it out. ohhhh, and dont any of you dare to judge me, cause i know yall do it too!! haha

2. im super emotional
i cry a lot, and this pregnancy has made it worse! but really though, im not a cry baby... but there are certain people who know exactly how to push my buttons and the tears just start flowing. lol

3. i dont trust people, period.
i dont have trust issues, but you have to really build a relationship for me to trust you. this applies for everyone. im really cautious of who i let into my inner circle, or who i even associate with. im a fairly private person. i like to keep my business to me, and i like people who keep their business to themselves. i've been burned plenty of times, so i know who and what to look out for.

4. im all about me.
in all seriousness, at the end of the day no one will love me more, or love me better than i love myself. im a very self-less person and my family definitely comes first, but when it comes to a boyfriend or even to friends, i know whos the most important. like dont get me wrong, i have friends that i would give my life for, but i know better than to start giving my heart out without thinking about it first. at the end of the day when i have no one else, i still have my fucking dignity, and i would never give that up for anyone.

5. im HELLA mean
hahaha i really am though, like everyones first impressions of me are "you look like a bitch" or "you seem hella stuck up" and in reality.. im not really different from those first impressions. hahaha like i am a nice person, and i am very friendly, but im not the sugar coating type. it is, what it is with me. we're all adults here, and im not going to treat you like a child. i dont even treat children like all sugar coated and delicate.... cause the world just isnt like that. i have a cruel sense of humor and i lack the ability to not hurt peoples feelings.. haha

6. i love & i love hard
once i give my heart out, and whether its to a boyfriend or a friend, they're gonna have it forever... or atleast until they do me HELLLLLLLLLLA dirty. but im extremely forgiving, especially to those who are really near and dear to my heart. i would give up the world and all of my possessions to help someone i loved out.

7. im a mother fucking princess, and NO ONE can tell me other wise!
haha its sooo true. im a brat and i like to get my way. if i cant get my way, then well.. no one will! lol this only applies to my family. i've been very fortunate to have really loving parents, and they love me in all the wrong ways. hahah they've turned me into this needy and demanding terror, & they loooooooove me :)


update:
i do plan on doing some FOTDS, or something soon.. im recovering from break outs. this pregnancy caused my face to develop the most disgusting pimples.. ommmmmmmg i wanted to kill myself, but its finally clearing up.
for the past month i actually havent been wearing any makeup.. i dont think i have ever gone this long without it, haha its really sad. but my face is looking much better now.. so i will definitely catch up on my posting. <3!

tonight im gonna go pick up some things for the giveaway and then im done. i will post the 3 prizes by the end of this week and i hope they'll make everyone happy :)

my weekend update

i had a little bbq with my bffs on saturday. haha we have like 5 pounds of beef short ribs, 5 punds of chicken wings and 5 pounds of pork ribs for like 4 adults and 2 toddlers. seriously we made waaay too much food, but it was sooo good. i love bbqs

but i guess being outside all day was bad for my boyfriend. we woke up sunday morning and his face was all fucked up. both eyes were swollen shut and his cheeks were soooooooo swollen. he seriously looks like he got attacked by bees. so we drugged him up with benadryl and we basically slept all day. it was nice, but my back is like super sore now. lol and his face has gotten better since yesterday morning, but its still pretty bad. hes so ugly, OMG. haha its really sad, but totally hilarious. i've been teasing him non-stop. im mean, i know :)

i've been so busy with work lately, i know i've been MIA from my blog. i need to do a FOTD, or something to entertain you guys. i will be working on that tonight.

i hope everyone has a great week :)

RECAP OF MY WEEK: FOTD & GOODIES

we went to our first bar mitzvah. my boss invited us, so i was obligated to go, but we had a lot of fun. it seriously was much much better than i ever expected. we wore purple.. haha yes we are one of those disgusting couples that like to match. its never the same exact thing, we just color coordinate. lol



my boyfriend bought his car in alaska. FINALLY! we've been sharing since february when he moved up here and its been a pain in the ass, lol im so glad he has his own car now. look at how happy he is! hahaha yes, i forced him to take the picture :)



i spent the day with my sister on sunday and we indulged in some yummy treats. a strawberry and hot fudge sundae from dairy queen and a chocolate fudge cupcake from starbucks. sooooooooooooooooo delicious!



i got home from work the other day and i had a package... i was like WTF? baby bought these for me :)








my sister got this maxi dress from Target for like $17.99. its super cute & im definitely going to be borrowing it once or twice over the summer. such a great deal!

then i decided to do my face, cause i was waiting for the BF to get home from work... its reeally purple. it looks a lot more magenta/pink in the pictures cause of the flash, but i liked it. the BF saw it and he said he liked it too, lol much too bright for me to wear during the day, but would definitely be a nice club look.






i hope everyone has a great weekend! i know i will :)
& enter my giveaway if you have some spare time, im getting the prizes ready as we speak!!

KILLING ME WITH CUTENESS

so im at work, about to pull my hair out because we got our inventory shipment and as the new inventory manager i have to go through every box, every item and make sure they work. EXCITING! i know, please dont be jealous.

but as my day seemed to grow increasingly gayer.. jon sends me an email with this in it:

muahahhahhaha omg i almost died laughing, seriously the cuteness is killing me. i love my little leche bear, hes so silly.



ALSO, go check out Edna's blog: http://www.abcgrrrl.com/ . Shes super cute & is doing her first giveaway celebrating her 100+ subscribers! so subscribe, enter & good luck!


****edit

fuck nordstroms and their half yearly sale :( im trying so hard not to shop before our vacation, and they just keep luring me into it. ohhhh i must resist!

HELLO KITTY MUCH?

i have a strange obsession with this big headed cat, lol. i love hello kitty with a passion. i have necklaces, shirts, haha even a hello kitty electric toothbrush (2 actually). but i would have to say that my favorite hello kitty item has to be my hello kitty necklace from toys r us :)



i reeeeeeaaaaaaaaally wanted it, but decided not to buy it. i thought about it for like 2 weeks and finally caved into buying it, but then jon tells me he already ordered it for me :D !! it seriously was one of those things that really made me love him that much more. i mean i could love a guy who would buy me a million dollar necklace, but who cant love a guy who buys you a $12 necklace. haha i mean.. look at him, who couldnt love that dirty lil boy? hello kitty has been a strange puzzle piece in our relationship. i remember the first day we actually hung out he convinced me to buy a hello kitty sweater from Macys. lol i guess hello kitty was playing cupid that day :)


so if you love hello kitty definitely check out Simply Nee's blog for her Hello Kitty giveaway!

FAKE & I LOVE IT

i know some people arent down with fake nails, and for the longest time that was me. i think the first time i got fake nails... i was like 18. haha and ever since i've been hooked. i do occassionally get tired of them and let my natural nails take over, but i hate the chipping, breaking & tearing of natural nails. no matter what i do, theyre just not as durable as my gel nails.

i normally get my typical white french tips, then fell in love with black tips. i think i rocked black tips almost all year round in 2008... it was so cute! but this time around i decided to get something different, something a little brighter and bolder for spring. the initial color was a red-orange. i thought it was PERFECT for spring. a loud punch of color, well jon saw them and hated them. lol he said they were too bright, so i got some nice red polish and re-did my tips. heres the final product (as i promised in my previous post:


and like i said before, i love pedicures, but hate strangers touching my feet. haha im not even comfortable with my boyfriend touching my feet, i hate it when he looks at them! lol i dont have some nasty foot fungus or eagle talon toes or anything like that, i just dont like people to look or touch them.. is that weird? so i went home and gave myself a pedicure. didnt i do a good job?


sorry for the crappy quality pictures, i've been digicamera less & my sidekick doesnt take the best quality pictures. besides, i was at work and the natural sunlight in my office makes up for the poor camera quality. buuuuuuut heres some cuteness to start off your weekends. baby Leche is just passed out, hes forever sleeping just like his daddy.
