Princesses on Ice!!!

2009-11-16T23:33:00.004-07:00

Wow, it has been a long time since I updated my blog. Now that I post all my pics on Facebook, I forget to update my blog. Anyway here it goes:
On Sunday my mom took my sisters, my niece and I to the Disney Princesses on Ice. We went up early in the afternoon and ate lunch at the Gateway before heading over to the show. It was such a cute show. To watch Braeleigh experience the excitement was amazing. The show was a little long for the kiddies but very enjoyable. We stopped after the show to get hot cocoa and cookies(we definitely needed some sugar) and made our way home.

Best Concert EVER!!!!

2009-09-08T22:35:00.006-06:00

Chris and I went to the Blink 182 concert last night with our friends Siri and Corey and it was AMAZING!!! We went early in the day because I was determined I was going to meet Travis Barker. While waiting by the buses we met the promotions guy for Chester French (an opening band) and showed him Chris' prosthetic leg. It has one of my favorite Famous Stars and Straps tshirts on the outside. He hooked us up with Randy who does FSAS with Travis. So he ended up taking a picture and a video of us back to Travis. Later Travis sent him back out to get our address,#,email. While waiting to see if we could go backstage, Mark Hoppus came out, it was great there were only 5 other people around besides us. So finally the show was going to start and we texted Randy to thank him for his help for trying to get us in and we went to our seats. The show was the best concert I have been to. They played amazing, it was great to hear them back together and of course they are hilarious. I could watch Travis drum all day. So after the show we saw Randy outside and he said he could only take one person back. I was heartbroken:( I am such a huge fan and LOVE Travis but at least Chris got to meet him. He went backstage and talked to him for 20 mins or so, got a signed shirt and drumstick that Travis played with during the show. Chris said he was soooo chill and nice. He also met Mark again and Tom. Chris was so excited. The smile on his face makes me feel not so bad I missed out. All in all, it was an amazing day. Travis told Chris he would hook him up with some FSAS and when we are in LA to call him. Awesome, right? I love BLINK!!!

Camping with the gals...

2009-07-25T21:02:00.003-06:00

Last weekend I went camping with my girls from MAC. It was soooo much fun. It is a very difficult task, scheduling a time when we are all off at the same time. We managed to plan for a saturday after work and of course I closed. Amber and I drove up to a set up camp site by Ashley, Siri, Cory (siri's hubs) and Jamie. We had a lot of girl talk and a LOT of junk food. Then this week Siri informed me that she found out that two weeks earlier at the EXACT same campsite, there was a bear attack. Of course we would choose to go there, right? I guess next time we will check out the papers before we go. Next we are planning a slumber party at my house when Chris is on night shift. yay!

Check out all the orbs!! scary:|

Check out this funny video. very cute. The best wedding entrance ever.

Vegas, Ba-by!!!

2009-06-17T20:16:00.004-06:00

Yay, a weekend in Vegas in the hot sun! My mom, my sister Ashley, her daughter Braeleigh and I went to Vegas this last weekend for our cousin's wedding. We had so much fun. We were really sad that Trista had to stay behind and work but we tried to make the most of it.

Brae is sooo funny, everytime we would ask her where we were going or where are we she would say "Vegas, Ba-Bay!" So she really thinks Vegas is called Vegas, Baby. We went down on Friday morning and started shopping as soon as we got there. It was just the girls, which means no one telling us where to go or what time to be there. We were actually able to get ready without anyone tapping their foot telling us how long girls take to get ready. It was great! We did what we wanted, when we wanted and for that we almost missed the wedding reception. oops:) hey we made it there with 45 mins still left, I consider that just on time but not to our uncle don who is ALWAYS early. Anywho, on Saturday we woke up at 7:30, got ready and went shopping, swam later in the afternoon, then hit the reception, went to dinner, and hit the hay. Doesn't sound like a lot now but we had a full day and went non stop. I am so thankful that I got to spend the time with my family. I haven't went on vacation with my mom in a long time and I definitely miss it. She is amazing and just being around her makes me happy. All in all, it was a fantastic weekend. Next time I hope it is longer.

Catchin up...

2009-05-24T03:08:00.006-06:00

This weekend we had a fun event for the new collection for Style Warrior. The colors are bronzes and earth tones. Amazing colors going into summer. My favorite is the skinsheen body bronzer. I have been using this every day and still have a couple bottles from years ago. I love that it gives a healthy bronze glow and never orange or streaky.

This week, Chris and I went down to celebrate my grandpa shepherd's 88th birthday. We had a family dinner and got to visit with the fam for the evening. We gave Braeleigh a new dress and she went wild. She is obsessed with 'beautiful dresses". The dresses have to twirl, if they don't flare out enough she will take if off and throw it. So I guess her attire for summer will be sun dresses.

An update on sweet little Betsey, she has found her true home next door with our neighbors. Back story- They had a shorkie that played with Betsey and then was stolen a couple weeks after we got Betsey. The neighbors have 4 kids that were heartbroken and everytime I would take Betsey outside she would run over to their house. It just seemed meant to be. So now we babsit her and play with her all the time. I really did try to be a dog person but I guess it isn't meant to be.

We are finally parents..... sort of?

2009-04-24T00:10:00.003-06:00

Chris and I have a new addition to our family, Lil' Betsey Leigh. We got her last Friday and we are having a blast getting to know her. She is such a cute puppy and has a little spunky personality.

Now if only I can get her potty trained, we will all be happy. This potty training business is hard work. How do train a dog? We tried puppy pads but I ended up with sweet little presents all over my new carpet. So the vet suggested crate training, which is really tough. She is in her kennel alot but she is getting the concept. She is starting to go potty outside. woohoo!!! So we are trying to stick to it and see how it goes.

She meets the whole family this weekend. I am excited to see what everyone thinks, especially how my mom takes to her.(my mom has already had dreams about her pooping on her floor.)haha.

Pirates For Viva Glam!!!

2009-03-10T23:40:00.002-06:00

There were Pirates galore at the MAC counter this weekend. It definitely got a lot of attention. I am not sure if it helped sell lipsticks but it was super fun. It was a little strange though when some cops asked Audry and I if they could take our picture... aarrrgggg.

Is Valentine's Day a forced holiday?

2009-02-17T21:30:00.004-07:00

Valentine's is ok because my hubby gives me flowers but do we really need a day devoted to celebrate love? What about our anniversary or everyday for that matter. Shouldn't we love our spouse everyday and show it everyday... I think so.

me and Chris at MAC- He brought me flowers. awwww

I had to work on V-day. We had a huge Hello Kitty event. Now I wasn't a fan of Hello Kitty before this collection, due to the fact that I am over the age of 10, but I fell in love. I had a whole Hello Kitty outfit. It was fun dressing up even though Trista said I looked like a 5 year old:) It was a great event and this is the first event in a long time that I came home in a good mood. Chris was very thankful for that. We just spent the night at our house and watched a movie. So all in all it was a nice holiday.

New Year for MAC!!!

2009-01-26T13:50:00.004-07:00

We have a new counter manager, Jonathan Hall, from the Murray store. I am so excited to have him on the team. He is bringing a positive, creative and passionate vibe to the team that we have been missing for some time now. I am excited to go to work again and it makes me want to a better artist. Here are some pics (thanks siri!)from Jonathan's first Saturday. We are starting fresh and the sky is the limit. Siri is our new Product Specialist. So she will be planning all our events. She is amazing and has a passion for MAC that truly inspires me.

Jonathan, Siri, Audry, ME, Ashley, and Amy

This is Siri and I as bronzed beauties:) This week we had a tannning party at Audry's house. It was so much fun. I have never been spray tanned before, so that was a new experience of comfort for me. I love the tan but do not like that I can't take the long baths that I live for. Audry was amazing and made a whole meal for us including pulled pork sandwiches, salad, fruit tray and last but definitely not least, Lemon Chiffon Cake (which was to die for). She is an amazing chef and a wonderful friend.

Kitty Mild to Kitty Wild!

2009-01-16T22:59:00.006-07:00

MAC Hello Kitty Collection hits stores on Feb. 12. I am super excited for this collection. We got pictures in today of the products and they are adorable. We are pre-selling starting NOW!, so let me know if you want anything because it will go fast. Our event for this is on Feb. 12 and 13th. If you want to come in and try on the new colors just let me know.

This is an anniversary collection like Barbie and Fafi. I'm sure you all know what a MAC addict I am and I will, of course, be getting way too much. There is a website that has a lot of pictures. I have no idea how they get info before we do but it was great to see the colors. www.temptalia.com
There will be (2) Eyeshadow quads, lipsticks, lipglasses, pigments,glitter liners, nail polishes, lip conditioners,and tons of accessories, just to name a few. There are two sets of colors- Mild Kitty (more neutral) and Wild Kitty (more color). So definitely something for everyone. There will also be a Kitty Couture line, unfortunately our store will not be getting these. It is basically fancier packaging and a couple added products.

Brunette, Blonde, Redhead

2009-01-13T23:16:00.003-07:00

BBR is our new collection at MAC. It is beautiful and there is something for everyone. What I like is that you don't just have to stick with the colors for your hair color. I have been wearing the Blonde and Redhead colors and I love them. It is definitely not hard to find the perfect look no matter what your hair color.

This weekend we had our event for this collection and I was the BLONDE! It was crazy, no one recognized me at first. I should definitely go blonde.... yeah right, I thought I looked like a goofball. Anyway, it was fun to go blonde the day.

"Hallo, Possums!"

2009-01-08T21:21:00.004-07:00

Dame Edna is here! I am absolutely in LOVE with this collection. The lip colors are amazing, my favorites being Gladiola with Hot Frost Lipglass and Coral Polyp with Splendid Lipglass. Varicose Violet nail laquer is a beautiful color and the name always makes me giggle. "Touch yourself up and others will follow"

Dame Edna Everage is a character played by Australian comedian Barry Humphries. Dame Edna consistently denies being a fictional character or drag performer, and refers to Humphries as her "entrepreneur" or manager. Indeed, Dame Edna has frequently said that the thought of a man dressing up as a woman for entertainment purposes is repulsive. Dame Edna Everage is probably the most popular and gifted woman in the world today: housewife, investigative journalist, social anthropologist, talk show host, swami, children’s book illustrator, spin doctor, Megastar, and Icon.

Christmas?

2008-12-28T22:27:00.003-07:00

Well, Christmas is finally over and it was definitely a weird Christmas for us. Chris was sick with the stomach flu and got out of bed at 1pm to open presents then went right back to bed. Is it just me or did Christmas have a different vibe this year? It never seemed quite like Christmas for me. I think working retail gives you a different outlook. I didn't feel like shopping after being at the mall all day, having no time to do Christmas activities(no time off in Dec.), and Chris being sick wasn't very fun. I don't want to sound like a Scrooge because I did have an amazing time with my family. I was just sad Chris was sick and didn't get to enjoy the holiday. Here are some pictures from the big day.

Winter Wonderland...

2008-12-22T22:33:00.004-07:00

It snowed like crazy today. I spent a couple hours getting ready for work, only to get stuck in the driveway and never made it there. I guess I should think ahead, before barreling out of the garage and think I can make it out. There was a good 7-8 inches. So here I am stuck halfway in the road but most of my car in the snowbank that the nice snowplows made. Luckily, my new neighbor came out to help me. They moved two days before, what a nice way to meet them, huh? Then the ambulance drove by and the paramedics stopped to help us. I was so embarrassed because I didn't even have a snow shovel. We finally got it back into the garage and there it stayed. Chris and I went and bought a shovel tonight. I hope tomorrow morning goes better. Anyway, this weekend we went to Chris' family party. Here are some pics of the family. Chris and I took Braeleigh (my sister Ashley's daughter) so we wouldn't be left out of the kids present exchange.

Our Christmas Tree, I wish I could keep it up all year.

Mac Party!!

2008-12-22T22:12:00.006-07:00

This year's party was at my house. It was great to have everyone over. It was the first official party at the Sorensen house. We were super excited to be the hosts, maybe more me than Chris.haha We had dinner, exchanged gifts and played "apples to apples". I love that we are all friends and could enjoy the season together. And a special shout out to Audry and her chocolate roll. She is definitely the best chef ever. Top-Amber, Audry, Ashley, Elias, Sandy Bottom- Rachelle, Siri, Me Me, Audry, and Siri

Special Buddies!!!

2008-12-01T19:35:00.006-07:00

As many of you may know I love a good reality tv show. ok, ok maybe a good teenie bopper reality show but so what:) My favorites are The Hills, Real World/Road Rules,Girls Next Door, America's Next Top Model, Blush, and of course Rob & Big. Which brings me to Special Buddies. For the people who do not watch this amazing show, on one episode Rob & Big saw a cereal box with a picture of a multiracial pair. They thought they should have a cereal box of their own.
I was rolling on the floor laughing on this episode. So while my sisters and I were at my cousins wedding, we took this picture. Shouldn't this be on a cereal box?Trista and Big are sportin' an awesome look. Where did their one eye go?

Facechart Fun!

2008-11-06T01:26:00.006-07:00

Trista came over to my house to practice her facechart skills. First of all, Aveda facecharts aren't the easiest to work with and second, she had never done them before. So it was a fun experience for both of us.
Can you guess who did which one:)?
I would say there was a definite improvement in Trista's lashes ability.(the first one looks very Twiggy). She did amazing and we had a great girls night while Chris was at work.

Halloween!!

2008-11-04T21:59:00.002-07:00

Here are some Halloween pics from last friday. We were having an event at work, so we couldn't go all out. But we all decided since we have to wear black, we would just be dead. I considered myself a zombie?- half dead and half alive. I was told by a couple people that I looked like a widow:( I guess I will have to do better next year. It was fun anyway and I am so glad that Halloween is over. I am all Halloween makeup'd out.

Pictures of New House!!

2008-10-13T19:26:00.002-06:00

Chris and I are loving our new house. We are trying to get everything where we want it. Decorating has been a chore and we are still not done. Here are some pictures so far and I hope you all can come visit in person.

Joining in the Blog World

2008-10-07T00:07:00.000-06:00

We are finally joining in the blog craze. Unfortunately, I keep up with my friends by their blogs. So I decided to start our own and made Chris help. He was very excited :)
