Relaunch of my Photography blog!

Hey everyone! Long time no post. Sorry I just really have not been doing anything interesting lately. I did pick up the Revlon Whipped foundation again. It is my second time wanting to buy it so I guess that means I really like it lol! I also found the Essie nail polish in Camera. I went crazy trying to find that in the summer but I could not find it at all. I found it at ULTA and there were a ton of them.

Besides that I wanted to announce the relaunch of my photography blog. Also I just launched my photography website. My website is ev-photography.co, please check it out if you would like too! Let me know what you think!

My photography blog is http://focusingdaily.blogspot.com/. I am going to be posting at lot of photography information and pictures.

Welcome!

Welcome to EV Photography's blog!

      I decided to relaunch my blog with the creation of my website, ev-photography.co. 

I am really excited about the launch of my website. It will make ordering prints so much easier for everyone. Also there is the ability to pay online, the website's cart is linked to my paypal account. Now you will be able to share pictures with family through online albums that are password protected. This ensures that you control who exactly is viewing your photos. And if you have family across the country they can order prints too! 

      I decided to do this because I think that photographs deserve to be printed. We live in a time where there are photos everywhere, be it on facebook or instagram. However, how many of us actually print our photographs. I wanted to make this system so instead of giving CD's with every session I am going to concentrate on prints. There will still be a CD package offered if you would like to do that. I understand that depending on what you would like to use the photographs for sometimes a CD or digital files would work best.

       I am always afraid of waking up and finding my computer dead and my photographs gone. So I am constantly backing up every image that I have. While I know that photographs do not last forever either all of my prints are printed on Kodak Endura paper the photographs will stay in their original state for 100 years in typical home display and for 200 years in dark storage. 

Please check out my website and give me feedback on what you think!

Haul time!!

Hey everyone!!!!! I wanted to share some things that I have bought over the past week. 

Last Wednesday I had to go to the doctor and I decided that because of that I could go to Ulta and treat myself. So I picked up the Benefit sample compact that has both Boi-ing and Lemon Aide inside. Boi-ing is a concealer, an industrial strength concealer says the website. Lemon Aide is supposed to be used to even out eyelids. I used it to brighten areas and cover up redness. I really like this so far. It is a lot better for me than the Erase Paste, that stuff moved all over the place on me. I love how Benefit will put products into smaller sizes for us to try. If I had spent full price on the Erase Paste I would be so angry. This compact was $10 and I think it will last a long time!

.

Then I decided to pick up the NYX Stay Matte Not Flat Powder Foundation. I get fair quickly during the fall so it is a good excuse to try something. I have not used a powder foundation for a long time, but this seems to be working pretty well. I saw on the website when I was looking up the compact image that there is a liquid version of this foundation too. I think I will be picking that up too! I am color Natural if your wondering. 

..

Then today after class I decided that if I worked out that I could go to Goodwill on the way home. So I worked out! I love how I justify shopping! Does anyone else do this?

I picked this vintage glass juicer! I have wanted one forever! There are some really cute ones, especially a milk sunkist one that I love! But they are usually (for some reason) expensive at the antique stores near me. So I was really happy that I found this one! I think it is really cute. I can use this to make juice then put it in to the carafe that I got a couple of weeks ago!

l...

 .Then I decided to check out the shoes. I do not have luck finding good shoes at Goodwill most of them are already used to the point where you do not want to buy them. I did have luck today though!! I found these Ralph Lauren Eliora Flats with the tag still inside of them. They were priced at $89 originally and I got them for $13! I am pretty excited about these. They are a really pretty classic shoe! They remind me of quilted Chanel Flats.

.

Then on the way home I went to Walmart to grab some milk because we are almost out. I went to the make up section to see if I could find a nude eye pencil for my waterline. I saw on a blog a while ago how Rimmel was coming out with a nude pencil and I have been using a white one on my waterline lately but I think that the nude would be better. So when I could not find the pencil I turned around and decided I would pick up the Wet N Wild palette in Walking on Eggshells. I have heard so many things from blogs and Youtube about this palette. So I thought for $3 what the heck.

 This is great!!! I'm jumping on the band wagon for this. I love the colors a pale gold/pink shade, bronze, and a cream. They are really pigmented too! I think this will be great for school. I do want to warn you that the bronze shade does have a little bit of fall out. For $3 I can deal with that.

I hope that you have had a great weekend and a good week so far! I went the the North Georgia State fair with my family and Steve (my boyfriend). It was a lot of fun. I love going to the fair.

I wanted to end on this picture of my little handsome cousin. Isn't he adorable! Look at those Cheeks!!!

Rambling

Hey!!! Sorry I have not posted the past couple of days! I had a really busy weekend. I especially had a busy Sunday. First time this semester I wanted to kick myself for procrastination. But I survived! Yesterday I had a test and a presentation. So glad that is over.

Today I ran into Goodwill to see if they had anything that I liked. I actually did not pick anything up. I did take a picture of two cute pictures that I was thinking about. I have been picking up embroidery or cross stitching when I find it at yard sales and these were cute. As I write this I am kind of thinking I should have gotten them. In the future I want to make a collage wall of them with different frames all painted the same color. I think the red poppies is my favorite! And It was LARGE at least a 16X20. The frame was nice and heavy. (Crap I am going to have to try and get this Thursday, I've convinced myself lol)

Also this tiny guy was really cute. I HATE the frame it is in. This deserves a cute rustic frame. Not the gold. 

Well I left these two at the thrift store. 

Something else I wanted to talk about is Thrift Store Etiquette.  

I do not mean to seem preachy about this but it has bothered me lately because of my frequency to thrift stores. The other day I was at my Goodwill and there were two women just behaving horribly. 

At my store they call over the speakers to let everyone know what is coming out but, they ask for customers to please wait for the employee to finish putting out the product. I know that I get excited when I can see something across the store and I want, but I keep calm and walk. Also I always get excited when new stuff comes out and I will wait in the glassware isle and see if they put out Pyrex. It might sound stalker but, I wait until it is put out! 

The moment the cart came out the both of the women were running around the cart and the poor man pushing it. They kept doing it and then started grabbing stuff of the cart while the man was trying to push it to the home goods area.  It was very obnoxious and then they started yelling about how they got what they wanted!

I am 21 and I was acting more grown up than the women twice my age. I really wanted to be like act like a grown ass (sorry for that) woman. It was very disrespectful. And I felt bad for the poor man trying to put stuff out.

I think the majority of people that go thrift store follow the rules and this just flabbergasted me.

Sorry about my venting moment. I hope everyone has been having good experiences thrifting lately!

Thrifty Time

So I had decided that I would not go to Goodwill on the way home yesterday. However, I have been hearing from my mom and my best friend how much they would like to got some Pyrex. Because of that I decided that I need to stop, you know just to see........

 I found this little white bowl with scalloped trim. I am not sure who made this one. If you know please let me know!

 Then this adorable little juice carafe. I love how it has lemons all over it. Plus it uses different typefaces saying Juice all over it. I can picture this with lemonade in it. =]

 Then I got this little metal basket. I am not sure what it was used for but it reminded me of a picture that was in Southern Living not too long ago with farm eggs in a metal basket. Their basket was round but this has the same industrial feel to it. I really want to tear out the picture that was in the magazine and frame it. But my mom actually had a friend bring her some different color farm eggs the other day. So earlier I took some pictures of the eggs in this! Hopefully I will share those soon!

 I am going to put so much stuff in this little guy! I love it.

All righty there is my mini thrifty haul. I have come to the conclusion that I have a problems. lol But I am going to have an adorable house one day.
