I just need five extra minutes….

coachwife6 — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:35:31 +0000

Coaches wives are no different than any other time-pressed woman. But, I like to think we are even more pressed for time because not only are we raising a family on our own while the coach is off raising other people’s kids, we are never home. As I try to pack bags with everything I will need for a night on the field or in the gym, freshening up my face gets the last-ditch effort. And really, it should be the first thing which I should tend to. I found this cute little blog, and a of the blog’s author on the Today Show, and it had some great tips. 1. Use great foundation 2. Swipe of bronzer ( if pressed for time use bronzer as eyeshadow, I have used blush before) 3. Blush 4. Curl the lashes (5 seconds on each lash) and 10 swipes of mascara on each side 5. Lip gloss. I also like to include concealer as part of my five-minute routine and just put on the lipstick in the car or some faraway gym if I can move the cheerleaders out of the way. They are cute enough!

I’m back

There’s no way to explain the long absence except it was a long season and it seems as if I have been unable to get back on track. I eventually will share with you some of the things I observed and learned along the way. These last few weeks will be hectic as summer approaches. Remember to enjoy the good times.

If you only have time to read one make-up blog…..

coachwife6 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:18:43 +0000

Then you have to read this one, and you must read it for the next 40 days. I became addicted to Blogdorf Goodman last year during her reviews of 40 of her favorite beauty products. This year, she is producing . I have come to rely on her recommendations before making any make-up related purchase. I have tried many items from her exhaustive list, and I’ve never been disappointed: from the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder to the Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Ultra Smooth Pressed Powder, her advice has been dead-on. As coaches wives, we can’t help but love the kids who devour their sport and pour their hearts and souls into following the coaches’ vision. The same with . Her passion bleeds through. Read. You won’t be disappointed.

Make it work

It’s no secret to my friends and family that I was enamored with (Seasons 1, 2 and 3) — this year, not so much. But, when this tidbit in the appeared, I couldn’t respond fast enough. The newspaper will mail you a packet of materials you will use to design an outfit for a or any 14-inch doll. Photos of the creation are due Feb. 22. I hope they include our school colors and allow us to use the hot-glue gun.

It all starts with the tools

coachwife6 — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:01:31 +0000

I don’t like recommending products until I have tried them for a good while, but it’s been more than three months since I won the in the contest, and I’ve got to tell you - I’m hooked. I haven’t used another since I first unpacked it from its box. The brush conforms to the angle of your cheek giving you the perfect sweep. As someone who was turned onto make-up relatively late in life (I know, I know — it’s called aging), I have been scouring books trying to find the best way to apply make-up and constantly read beauty blogs to perfect my application. One coaches wife on our staff always looks flawless and I just want to sit at her feet every morning to see how she does it. One thing I learned several years ago is that you have to have good tools to apply products. You can purchase the most expensive products from at , but if you are using the applicator that came with the product, it’s just not going to look good. The coach wouldn’t send his team out to play in the in the state championship game with a football he bought off the shelf at a discount store, and you don’t need to cheat yourself when it comes to your arsenal of brushes. Available at for $30. I think I may go back for the when they advertise a GWP (gift with purchase.)

Beauty booty

Been meaning to tell y’all about this contest for a long time. I love the Dallas Morning News’ contest because - 1. I have won it in the past 2. The artwork and photo illustrations in their section are inspiring and beautiful and 3. I just love the name. Great prizes and all it takes is registering at the Dallas Morning News site, which is free. You should be subscribed to the newspaper anyway, because it is chockful of news and has the latest on many of your coaches sports teams.

In the can

The is one of the best sources for news. I had read conflicting reports regarding the impact the writer’s strike would have on the series filmed in the Austin-area, but this is good for fans of the show: six shows are in the can while other series are depleted and will rely on reruns. I still love the show but I have two pleas: I am glad to see they are slightly re-tooling the intro (it looks better), but please go back to the original version. The clip of Tim Riggins in the locker room before the first game is necessary to capture the feel of the series. And, two: you have some of the best writers in television. You don’t need to rely on promiscuous scenes to capture an audience. Believe in your abilities. The conversation Tami and Eric had two weeks ago regarding their relationship - priceless.

Carry on

I am always on the hunt for a new purse that can lug all the stuff I need to tend to four children and a host of teams who always need something — tylenol, Band-Aids, safety pins, Kleenex, gum - and carry my personal belongings, wallet, sunglass case, make-up case, keys, digital camera, video camera, Game Boy, subscriptions to all my magazines - and that I won’t fret about when stuffing it under a stadium seat or on the gym floor where they are subject to Cokes, nachos, you name it. I have several but I found one this summer that has become my main go-to bag this season. And I read about it on . And when someone asks me about it, I can tell them about the it went to instead of saying, I received it when I bought a bunch of make-up (I’m a sucker for GWP - gift with purchase). And, isn’t the little No. 1 on the reverse side appropriate for a coaches wife? The of the bag feeds one child for one year. It was designed by Lauren Bush for . For $59.95, I bought one for my Mom. As Tim Gunn would say, “carry on.”
