{10 Baby Names I Love But Will Never Use}

Every female I know has names they've stock piled as ones they would consider naming their kids. I usually kept my favorites quiet because the worst thing is being in love with a name, telling a friend, and having them use it on their kid! But since we're done having babies I thought why not share?. I think I have more girl names than boy though lol. Probably because I wanted a little girl so bad.

Lets get to it!

{Christmas Tag!!}

Since nothing exciting is happening today, I went in search of a tag. I love these! So here we go!

1. Do you like to stay in your PJ’s, or dress up for Christmas? Well, that depends on the plans for the day. When I was growing up we would go to my grandparents farm and that required clothes. But last year I went to my moms grandparents and they don't care what I wear lol. So PJ pants and a T-shirt it was!

2. If you could only buy one person a present this year, who would it be? That is impossible. I have 3 kids and I'm an aunt. No could I just buy for 1 person.

3. Do you open your presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning? We do 'Christmas Eve Boxes' with PJs and a movie in them. But actual gifts are opened in the morning.

{Tag Tuesday: Scariest Things Tag!}

Since it's almost Halloween you know I had to do this one :)

1. Scariest real-life experience?
Um, I think that would be when I rolled my car. I almost peed myself. For real.

2. Scariest paranormal experience?
When we lived in shitty trailer number 2 I was taking a bath late at night. All 3 kids were sleeping in their beds and D was snoring on the couch. All the sudden I heard someone walk down the hall. Now, the bathroom in that trailer was right across from the older 2 kids rooms so I knew it wasn't them or I would have seen their doors open. Little Boy wasn't walking yet. I hollered "babe?" thinking it was D, when I got out of the tub to see what was going on, D was still snoring on the couch. It was creepy as hell. But that place was haunted anyway.

3. Scariest movie you've ever seen?
The Exorcist. Hands down. I am a scary movie lover, but I have yet to see one since first seeing this one, that has scared me as much. When I saw it for the first time we lived in a house where the laundry was in the basement. I wouldn't do laundry until D or his friend J were home so they could protect me from anything that might go bump.

4. Are you afraid of the dark? Why or why not?
No. I'm not.

5. Does your hometown have any scary stories or legends?
Not that I'm aware of.

6. What is your favorite urban legend? 
I don't think I have one lol. Everyone else says Bloody Mary but I'm not really into those. Sorry.

{What's in My Purse?}

One of my favorite videos to watch on youtube are the "What's in my purse/bag videos". Since I don't do videos on youtube, I thought I'd just do this little tag here :). So here we go!

I got this amazing Steve Madden bag at TJ Maxx. The tag said that it's original price was $100 I got it for $80 (I believe. It was around February that I got it). I love this bag! It has 1 zipper pocket and 2 pockets on the opposite side for a phone or whatever you might want to put in there.

 On the inside it's full of stuff. Stuff I don't use every day and stuff I could probably do without carrying. But I have it in there anyway, just.in.case.

The items I didn't take individual pictures of are Elf make-up wipes, a Kroger reciept, Costco coupon book, a bag I keep my ear phones in, Trident orange gum, Sucrets from winter when I had a cold, a brush that holds 2 hair ties, and Huggies baby wipes (cause a mom should never be without them).

 The items inside.

Rose Salve. I got it from Bath & Body Works for $5.00.

Beauty Rush Victoria's Secret lipgloss. I never use it, it's too sticky. But I have it in there none the less.

Soft Lips in Pearl.

Clinique Lipstick that I don't wear because it's too red for me. But I stuck it in my purse when I got it (free from Ulta by the way) and there it has been.

The Big Lots version of Katie Perry's perfume. I like it :)

Hand sanitizer from Big Lots. $1 Can't beat that.

 Contact solution that I have no idea why it's even in there lol.

My new Kenneth Cole Reaction clutch that I'm using as a wallet. My old one was falling apart. I found this one at Gordmans for $14.99. 

My bestie made this lizard for me years ago. I never leave the house without it.

I have a ridiculous amount of rewards cards. Some of them I don't even use.

 My benefit make-up case that I got for making a $36 purchase. I love getting free stuff.

Inside my make-up case: Boi-ing concealer, Erase Paste concealer, Hard Candy Glamoflauge, Some Kinda Gorgeous Foundation, Physicians Formula Organic mascara, Pop Eye Liner, 2 eye brushes, Revlon lipgloss (love it but I don't know what line it's from or the color.), and a hard candy mirror.

And there we have it. Does the inside of my purse look anything like yours? What do you keep in your purse that you can't leave the house without? Oh! I forgot my phone, it's not in there when I'm home though. I'm usually on it lol. It's a Galaxy S3 in white with a pink latex case. I like to switch out the case a lot. 

I hope you enjoyed this :) I'm think of doing a what's on my phone tag too. But I might have to film that one cause it'd be kind of hard to take pictures of all the apps. We shall see. Until next time! :)
