YouTube is a Black Hole of Awesomeness

Ever get sucked in?

I love LOVE love all of these old videos...  Some are just so darling and practical, and others are great for a laugh.

Who is Lindsey Rae?

So, I've been wanting to post this for a while...this whole pin up thing? It's new for me.  I've always loved the pin up culture and felt at HOME in the style, make up and life. I love the body acceptance and individuality celebrated within the culture.

This journey started, for ME, because of my acceptance into Pinups for Patriots. #pfp, #pfppa

As I've been telling people about it, and attempting to recruit new members, I usually get a similar response from almost everyone. Everyone says how awesome it is, how fun it must be....but that they could never be a pinup....for various reasons.  They don't have the legs...or the body....they can't do hair...or makeup.

I'm here to tell you that, anyone can be a pinup and that its a state of mind, not necessarily a state of body!

I am not perfect by any means! My hair is a long unruly mess. My eyeliner is never perfect and usually smudged. I neeeeed to lose weight....but as this journey has begun...I've realized something...

Before I can expect others to accept me, I have to start accepting and loving myself!!!! Because if I can't love the way I look I obviously won't be able to accept others complimenting me. I need to get used to compliments. I need to get used to taking pictures with others and being in front of a camera again. 

The only way I can do that is if it starts within MYSELF. So, without further ado...here I am.

How to Spot a Pin Up Girl

Hey Everyone! I read the CUTEST article today, over at Unique Vintage. < Go there to read it too!!!

Mascara love!!

Hello, lovelies! Lindsey Rae here finallly getting a chance to blog!!! Huge thanks to my partner in crime for holding it down til I could get the chance to figure it out.

For my first post I decided to do a review of my favorite make up accessory EVER.  I'm not being reimbursed for this post whatsoever, I just love it THAT much.  I've never been the most confident person, especially when it comes to physical aspects about me.  But the one thing I do like are my eyes.  So it would make sense to highlight them, right?!?!

Maybelline's Great Lash mascara has been my GO TO mascara for as long as I can remember. It's easy to find with the vibrant pink and green colors, but beyond that it's affordable!

I have tried other, more expensive mascaras. They all promised the same things. Voluminous, gorgeous lashes. And while each may have had their own positive aspects, none could hold a candle to this one.

I love that it accentuates the lashes that I have, while also giving them a little more volume and color.  There are several different options in the great lash line. This one, "Lots of Lashes" is a dark black and the applicator brush is small enough that you can pay special attention to individual lash areas and get good coverage. I love that it separates the lashes and eliminates most clumping issues!!

Well, I need to make dinner, but I hope to be back soon with more about me, my family and my new pin up journey!!!

Nature on PBS

Be sure to tune in to Nature on PBS, April 8th, 15th, and 22nd, for a fascinating series on Nature's Animal Homes, where you will join ecologist Chris Morgan to investigate how animals build the spaces they call home sweet home.

 

I can't wait to check the series out with my children!  Perhaps we'll get some ideas for their upcoming Science Fair?  One of the available topics for their grade levels are animals and their habitats.  Perfect!
