Being a mom means you get to problem solve without hesitation. You know that moment 5 minutes before it’s time to leave for school and your child needs something for that day. Last week was Spirit Week and that actually means it’s: “How Creative is Your Mom Week.” Sports Day seemed easy enough, but then there was a request for face paint. Hard Candy eye liner to the rescue! Our little A’s fan was pleased and we made it to school on time.
Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous long wear eyeliner pencils are great. It lasts all day, it’s creamy so it goes on smoothly without scratching your eyelid, there are vibrant colors, and you can blend them for a softer look. I do not look alive unless I’m wearing eye liner. It might be the only makeup I get on my face before we rush out the door in the morning, but for the sake of mankind I am sure I have some eyeliner on.
The Hard Candy collection is sold exclusively at Walmart, www.walmart.com, and www.hardcandy.com. The Stroke of Gorgeous line has 16 shades that retail for $5.00 each. Can’t beat that price and there are lots of fun color options.

My mom came to our room and cuddled us, telling us stories and stayed in our room all night. When we woke up it was bright and sunny. I always remember this when times in my life are dark or scary.

April 25, 2018 at 12:41 pmOne of my favorite memories of my Mom is when I was a child we often listened to her old songs on her records. She taught me the lyrics and we sang together.

April 25, 2018 at 12:11 pmOne of my biggest memories has to be when I was in junior high school. I had an asthma attack and my gym teacher made me run laps just minutes after I used my inhaler. I had a second attack and had to be taken to the nurse. The nurse called my mom, and she came to get me. My mom was furious and she gave the administration and gym teacher a piece of her mind. I will never forget that Mama Bear moment!
