While other people were watching the Superbowl, Skylar and I headed for the mall . And thankfully, it was pretty empty. I surmise most people were glued to the tube. Not me .

I took this pile of empty MAC makeup containers and brought them to the MAC Store

Tip: Every 6 empty MAC containers = 1 free lipgloss/lipstick so save them and turn them in for your freebie!

I traded them for a few other items and…..

It’s really iridescent and has great shimmer. And you can play around with liners from Plum to Spice and change its look. Super versatile and on your lips, it doesn’t look nearly as coral as in the tube.

I love MAC , period.

If I don’t like them, I will bring them back. But I am going to give them a try.

Since it’s essential to have snacks with when going to the mall, I brought this snack bar with us. A homemade Microwave Chocolate Peanut Butter & Oat Bar

And while other people were watching the game, I took advantage of the low 70s and sunny weather and went for a 20 minute run and then 20 minutes of yoga/lifting at home

This is what I saw. I like this scenery better than football.

From my last post about What I Know , it was fun to hear what you know.

And it seems there are tons of Maybelline mascara fans out there too.

And also I am glad that my discussion of Rules are Meant to be Broken resonated with you, too. Not all “rules” are set in stone. I always enjoy learning what rules you break, or would like to break.

Questions:

  1. Did you watch the Superbowl?

As you can see from this post, no. I was way too busy buying makeup and being outside.

  1. If you did watch the game, did you enjoy yourself?

  2. If you didn’t watch the game, what did you do this weekend?

Fill me in on your weekend and what’s in store for your week?

P.S. If you’re just catching up on weekend posts, here are mine since Friday night.

  • Things I Know & Rules Are Meant to Be Broken
  • Salsa & Cheezey Baked Beans & Vegetables
  • Being Practical
  • Challenge: Favorite Shows
  • Maca Benefits
  • Cookies in the Mail, Winter Workouts

Have a great week!
