Video: Chatty GRWM (Life Update + Channel Chat)

I'm chatting about life and this channel while slapping some makeup on my face! Below are the makeup products I used. I have linked to them to make them easy to find. If you purchase through the link, I earn a small percentage (like a few pennies). Here's my two cents (ha)-- buy when the products are on sale! I usually only buy when products are on major sale, including drugstore items.

Baby Blanket for Our Little One on the Way

In about 2 months, we'll be welcoming a little one into our family. I had a few things I needed to get made before she arrives, and I started with this blanket. The middle patterned fabric is some I got at Walmart awhile ago. If your Walmart looks anything like the ones here, the fabric section is almost empty thanks to the pandemic. The blue dotted, orange dotted, and solid pink fabric is from Hobby Lobby, and I got it a couple weeks ago.

We don't have the nursery set up yet (working on that this week!), so here's the blanket laid out on our guest bed.

I didn't create a tutorial for this project since I'm just focused on getting things done right now and checked off the list before I go into labor! Here's a rough sketch with rough measurements in case you want to make a similar blanket. I did a 1/2 seam allowance, and that's included in the measurements. You might want to ignore the three measurements at the very top and just focus on the measurements on the actual sketch.

After finishing the blanket, I completed a few more nursery projects. Now we just need to put together the crib and set up the nursery!

Video: Little Red River at JFK Campground | Heber Springs, Arkansas

Last week we went with my parents for a day and a half to the Little Red River at the John F. Kennedy Campground in Heber Springs, Arkansas. This video shows just a snippet of the area. In addition to the campground and river, there’s a visitor center, dam, fish hatchery, and Collins Creek you can visit at this location. There's also a swimming area nearby on Greers Ferry Lake. On this trip we took my parents' small camper to have a place to relax, eat, and use the restroom. There are public restrooms and picnic areas available. We didn't sleep overnight as we wouldn't all fit in the camper. My parents have a house in Greers Ferry which is nearby so we drove back there for the night. My parents have a discount to all U.S. Corps of Engineers campgrounds, so they reserved a camping space so we could all really enjoy our two days at the river and relax. I'm six months pregnant, so it was nice to have air conditioning available in the camper when I started swelling and to have a place to sit and nap when we got a rainstorm on the second day. My parents brought our daughter camping here last month, and she absolutely loved it.

Video: Quarantine Complexion Using Wet n Wild Makeup

I haven't been wearing much makeup since COVID19 hit the United States. I haven't left the house much, and when I do, I wear a mask. This is one of the looks I've been sporting when I do wear makeup. I haven't been wearing mascara, since the steam (ha!) from my mask makes my mascara melt. In this video I used five makeup products from Wet n Wild and one of their brushes. Wet n Wild is extremely affordable and makes so many products I love to use. What are your favorite Wet n Wild products? Products Used: -Wet n Wild Photofocus Stick Foundation in Shell Ivory -Wet n Wild Megaglo Makeup Stick Contour in Where's Walnut? -Wet n Wild Flat Top Brush -Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Color in Spiked with Rum -Wet n Wild Coloricon Brow Pencil in Blonde Moments -Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick in Rebel Rose
