Eric and I had such a fun day together. It felt really nice to share an activity. As I mentioned in my previous FAQ post, I have been trying to find ways to help Eric enjoy exercise again.
So today I told him I would try mountain biking with him because I know that he enjoys biking a lot. I think he was quite happy to be doing it too! :) It was a fun way to spend time together in a healthy way. I told him that I would go every weekend this summer with him if he wants to! I am just happy to see him being active.
Despite the cold weather today, it was gloriously sunny and beautiful. We bundled up and once we got warmed up we were fine.
Here is a fun little video I put together of our day today- complete with a Beach Boys theme song!
haha sorry about the random text at the end…I guess I didn’t edit that part out!
So all and all today was a fairly active day! We biked for about 1 hour and then I did about 30 minutes or so of gardening once we got home. Today was another great example of cross training! No treadmill needed. :)
I don’t know about you, but as soon as I saw the commercial for Maybelline Stiletto Lash Mascara I knew I had to try it!
I love stilettos after all.
I am constantly asked how I walk in 4” stilettos by friends and family. The truth is I don’t know how. I just love them.
I knew this mascara would be for me.
I opened it up and looked at the wand. I am a pretty good judge of how I will like the mascara when I see it.
The wand was narrow and feathered, and the mascara itself has a nice sheen to it and looked a bit glossy. I instantly knew that the mascara would probably go on with minimal clumps. I find Maybelline has always been good at this!
Before Make-up:
Notice the blonde, pale lashes!
And Voila…
After with Maybelline Stiletto Lash Mascara:
My review?
I think it is obvious that I LOVED this mascara! From the moment the brush touched the tips of my lashes I knew it was ‘the one’. I didn’t have to wipe off any excess from the brush before using. Which rarely happens for me. I had no flakes even after a long day + activity + cold winds. There were also ZERO clumps! Tonight, I tried another coat just to see what it would do, and to my amazement my lashes got even longer! I think this mascara more than doubled the length of my lashes– sans falsies!
I loved it so much that I went back to the drugstore and bought 2 more! With my luck they are going to discontinue this stuff. :)
Because I love this mascara so much, I am going to do my first ever beauty product giveaway on Oh She Glows!

That mascara looks awesome!
I would love to try that mascara. It definitely brings out your eyes.
Thank you so much for the giveaway.
I absolutely love hiking.
The giveaway is awesome!
Eeeeeeeeek stay away from the snaaaaaakes!!! My best beauty trick is putting shimmery, white eyeshadow directly under my brows. You can see what I mean if you go to my blog and search for “Eyeshadow brushes and how to do Wiggs-style eyeliner” (I know you can’t have links in your comments or I’d just put the link!)
my go-to beauty trick is that I get my brows waxed religiously every two weeks or so! I am always getting compliments!
You look gorgeous with or without makeup :) And I’m not just saying that to get an extra chance to win, haha!
My #1 beauty trick is Chapstick! The cherry version – I love the way it gives just a hint of color. It’s my favorite shade, and it’s darn cheap!
Smiling! It brightens my face, no matter what.
I put a small dab of bright highlight eyeshadow on the inside corners of my eyes, makes me look younger and bright eyed.
The mascara looks amazing- your lashes look great :). My beauty secret is my daily moisturizer, and to not stress out when I don’t feel so hot, and just go with the flow and smile!
I curl my lashes before putting mascara on, it gives a template for the mascara and prevents breakage!
my #1 tip is using vaseline as eye make up remover. it works, and its cheap!!
SO pretty :D My fave maybelline mascara is the pink/green container one, great lash maybe, it’s SO good! I put $$ moisturizer under my eyes every night, i can’t tell any difference as of yet but hopefully it will pay off :)
Exfoliate!! Definitely! Body, face..do it all!
my number one beauty trick is a little powder bronzer. does such a good job subtly brightening up the face! also, drinking lots of water is key :)
A little bit of gold eyeliner under your eyes makes you look more awake and refreshed!
i am addicted to exfoliation! and also menthol-containing face washes (i use clean and clear). it feels super refreshing and it gives you a glow. plus obviously exercise.
