Bend- you exceeded every expectation. Save for Ben Bend- you exceeded every expectation. Save for Bend, OR favorites:

Breakfast 🥞: @sparrowbakery - their French toast sticks are divine and their pasties are literal art. We ate here twice during our stay and would recommend it over and over again! 

Dinner 🍽 : @bendbrewingco - Fried cheese curds, fresh and flakey fish and chips and amazing burgers, with beautiful patio seating right on the River. Plus everything was reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend. 

Coffee Shop ☕️: @dudleysbookshopbend - the CUTEST bookstore/coffee shop combo. Grab a cup of coffee or cocoa and a book all in one stop.

Entertainment: Catch live music and play golf in a state-of-the-art golf simulator at @waltreillysbend and grab a late night snack while you’re at it!

Adventures: Explore Lava River Cave and hike to Tumalo Falls! Both are great adventures and not too intense of hikes - Tumalo Falls is a trail with several waterfalls featured in the above reel!

Bend was a dreamy slice of heaven and we cannot wait to go back - it’s the most delicious little town in a dreamy setting.

Turns out that life after infertility doesn’t ha Turns out that life after infertility doesn’t have to be all doom and devastation. It’s not always easy, but we’re finding more joy and beauty in just living and exploring and taking advantage of all the time and freedom this new chapter of life has to offer us. 

Our week in the Oregon Wilderness has given me so much life, so much clarity, and so much energy for creating a life that I love. I realized I have so much to give, so much to do, and so much to be, even if I don’t have children or a family the way I thought I would. 

I do have a family. And I do have Littles to still leave a legacy behind for - and an example to set for. And that’s enough for me.

Dustin has never given up or given in on creating Dustin has never given up or given in on creating a beautiful life together after our journey to have children ended last year. Instead, he has thrown himself into finding the next chapter of our story and I’ve been hanging on to him for dear life as he ran full force into our new future. 

After working so hard for so long, he signed and closed on a darling house in The Poconos, Pennsylvania that we will be turning into an air bnb this summer (and vacationing in it ourselves in the fall) 🥳

If you would have told me last October as we went through with my hysterectomy that we would have a vacation home in the East to spend the next October in, I would have laughed in your face. I’ve never doubted Dustin, but it seemed impossible to think about moving forward with new dreams and goals after our journey to have kids came to a crashing hault. 

But here we are - creating a life we love and doing our best to make the most out of the cards we’ve been dealt. 

I can’t wait to take you all on this new adventure (because guess who is in charge of furnishing and managing the new air bnb?) 

Thank you for always cheering us on. We love you.

We have to change the narrative around those going We have to change the narrative around those going through infertility journeys. We have to stop saying: “don’t give up - you’ll get your baby someday!” It’s doing a lot of unspoken damage to those of us in the throes of infertility. 

I understand that many say this to be positive and uplifting, but when we were faced with making a heartbreaking choice to end our infertility journey, I felt like I was giving up. Instead of confidently making a decision to remove the organ that was slowly killing me, I looked at other infertility accounts and saw the repeated message that if I kept on pushing through treatments, i too, would get my baby. I felt selfish and unsure that putting my health first was truly the right thing to do. There was almost nothing out there to help us find peace and validation in ending our infertility journey without feeling like massive failures.

I have felt so called to speak on this now that we’re in this next phase of life and to do my best to share a perspective I wish I had access to last year. I hope that by speaking up and sharing our life in this next chapter, we can help those who are looking for hope in moving on from infertility without a pregnancy or baby. 

If you are reaching the end of your journey, I want you to know that you are not giving up. You are not a failure. You are choosing to not let infertility destroy you. 

It’s okay to grieve the life you wanted, but I want you to know you can still build a life you love. 

You are not giving up.

My Date Night Essentials + 15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial

Going on a date? Make sure you have the essentials ready to go for a fun and successful date night & get ready fast with this 15 minute makeup tutorial! // Life with Rosie

I mentioned last week how Dustin passed his huge series 7 test to become a licensed investment consultant. It’s been a huge relief to have that test behind us; if Dustin didn’t pass, he wouldn’t have been able to stay at his job and we would have been up a creek! He took his test last Monday and I was an anxious wreck all day. I literally holed up in my bed with my computer, watched a ton of Netflix and tried to nap as I waited for his 6-hour test to be over and to find out if he had passed. I knew that if he did pass, we would go out to celebrate, but if he didn’t I would probably cry, so I didn’t want to get ready for the day until I knew for sure.

When the phone call finally came in the late afternoon and Dustin told me through his excitement that he had passed, I still cried, but from relief and joy. I’ve never seen him work so hard or study so hard for a test and it was a huge accomplishment for him and a huge relief for the both of us to know his job was secure. After calming down, I realized that we had a celebratory date to go on that night and I needed to get ready, fast! So, I grabbed a couple of my date night essentials and sat down at my vanity and went through my 15 minute date night makeup routine! This makeup routine is as simple as it gets; looks polished and fancy for a night out and is fast and easy! Combined with my essentials, I can be ready to go in 20 minutes flat!

First thing first: I always pop a couple Advil Liqui-Gels because nothing’s faster on tough pain (among OTC pain relievers). I have really bad arthritis and tendonitis in my left hip as a result from all the knee issues from my tumor and the last thing I want is to be in pain or uncomfortable during a date. Advil has been my go-to for the last five years for my pain management and I can always rely on it to take care of my discomfort so I can have a good time on my date!

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial:

Once I’ve got the Advil in my system, it’s time to get my face on! 

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

  1. Hey there, bare face! Since I only need my makeup to last for a few hours on date night, I skip the primer and just moisturize. The moisturizer helps smooth out my skin for an even application but applies faster!

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

2. Instead of worrying about applying different shades of eyeshadow and taking the time to blend them all together, I opt for a cream based shadow and just apply it all over the lid. Cream-based shadows apply really well with a finger tip, have great pigmentation and last all night without creasing. This took me all of 2 minutes to apply and saves so much time when you are crunched for time.

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

3. After my eyeshadow is on, I line my lids with a black liquid liner, but I don’t do a wing. Winged liner takes me FOREVER, so I skip out on it and opt to make the liner a little thicker on the outer half of my lid. This helps define the eye shape and makes lashes look fuller without getting too messy or taking too much time!

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

4. For a quick foundation fix, I use this powder foundation. I’m normally not a powder foundation type of girl because I feel like it never stays long, but the Younique one lasts long enough for a whole date night and has great coverage without looking cakey or feeling heavy. The above picture shows the coverage ability (it’s applied to half of my face) It also goes on really fast since it’s a powder, so I don’t have to take the extra 5-7 minutes to buff out and blend it in. I just apply it all over my face with a powder brush and call it good.

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

5. I fill in my eyebrows with a pomade so that they stay put all night (having brows that move around is a nightmare).

6. I then curl my lashes and throw on two coats of my holy grail mascara!

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

7. I finish off by adding a little color and shimmer to my face! I use Milani’s Bronzer all over my cheeks and along my hairline to warm my skin up.

8. I use the this highlighting pallet to add a glow to the tops of my cheek bones to give a little more dimension to my face!

9. Last but not least, I apply ChapStick Total Hydration to my lips because Dustin refuses to kiss me if I have lipstick on. The Chapstick Total Hydration instantly smooths and moisturizes lips, gives my lips a glossy, finished look and doesn’t prevent my husband from giving me a big fatty smooch! It’s a win/win!

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

Ta-da! I’m ready to go on a date feeling pretty and confident and it only took me 15 minutes to get ready! By now, any discomfort or pain I usually have in my hip/knee has started to fade away, so I can enjoy dinner with my husband without being in pain.

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

On our way out the door, I grab one more date night essential: Nexium 24hr. I normally don’t suffer from heartburn, but my sweet husband sometimes does. It can be a bummer to be halfway through our date and to have Dustin start feeling unwell, so it’s definitely a necessity to have in my bag. (May take 1 to 4 days for full effect.  Use as directed.)

If you need to get your hands on some of these essentials, you can find them at your local Walmart! The ChapStick can be a little tricky to find, so check the end caps!

15 Minute Date Night Makeup Tutorial #ad #BeHealthyForEveryPartOfLife // Life with Rosie

In this season of Thanksgiving, I am so grateful for a husband who worked so hard to pass his test, who goes to work every day to put a roof over my head and food on our table and who lets me chase my blogging dreams. It was so fun to celebrate his success this last week and, with these essentials, I didn’t have to worry about anything spoiling our night.

You can check out other date night essentials here and tell me which ones you need for your date night! Do you have a go-to makeup routine to get ready fast? I want to know!

After working so hard for so long, he signed and closed on a darling house in The Poconos, Pennsylvania that we will be turning into an air bnb this summer (and vacationing in it ourselves in the fall) 🥳

If you would have told me last October as we went through with my hysterectomy that we would have a vacation home in the East to spend the next October in, I would have laughed in your face. I’ve never doubted Dustin, but it seemed impossible to think about moving forward with new dreams and goals after our journey to have kids came to a crashing hault. 

But here we are - creating a life we love and doing our best to make the most out of the cards we’ve been dealt. 

I can’t wait to take you all on this new adventure (because guess who is in charge of furnishing and managing the new air bnb?) 

Thank you for always cheering us on. We love you.

We have to change the narrative around those going We have to change the narrative around those going through infertility journeys. We have to stop saying: “don’t give up - you’ll get your baby someday!” It’s doing a lot of unspoken damage to those of us in the throes of infertility. 

I understand that many say this to be positive and uplifting, but when we were faced with making a heartbreaking choice to end our infertility journey, I felt like I was giving up. Instead of confidently making a decision to remove the organ that was slowly killing me, I looked at other infertility accounts and saw the repeated message that if I kept on pushing through treatments, i too, would get my baby. I felt selfish and unsure that putting my health first was truly the right thing to do. There was almost nothing out there to help us find peace and validation in ending our infertility journey without feeling like massive failures.

I have felt so called to speak on this now that we’re in this next phase of life and to do my best to share a perspective I wish I had access to last year. I hope that by speaking up and sharing our life in this next chapter, we can help those who are looking for hope in moving on from infertility without a pregnancy or baby. 

If you are reaching the end of your journey, I want you to know that you are not giving up. You are not a failure. You are choosing to not let infertility destroy you. 

It’s okay to grieve the life you wanted, but I want you to know you can still build a life you love. 

You are not giving up.
