Frosted Flakes On Fire

Lifestyle May 8, 2015

Barefoot Blonde^^Atticus always steals my popscicles! He literally cries when I take it away haha!Barefoot Blonde^^Some friends introduced us to Popbar and we had been craving it since!Barefoot Blonde^^I am at the awkward... issss she pregnant? orrrr.....Barefoot Blonde

^^We found an adorable book shop and popped in to get A some new books and to look at the comicsBarefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeBarefoot Blonde^^We also found a guitar shop and David did some guitar shopping! Atticus lovvves the guitar at his music class so we thought he would love if we got one. They make all their guitars out of wood from trees that come down in NYC or out of old buildings. Kind of cool!! Barefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeBarefoot Blonde^^Pure happiness! His tee is from Ily CoutureBarefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeBarefoot Blonde^^Oh boy, this kid is so much fun to hang out withBarefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeROSES: LandeauBarefoot Blonde^^I honestly cannot handle the intensity in this face hahaha. This was after he was crying and I finally let him have a bite.Barefoot BlondeBarefoot Blonde^^We stopped at a pickle stand and grabbed some yummy fresh pickles! Barefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeBarefoot BlondeSHIRT: Gap (similar here) // JEANS: Rag & Bone // FLATS: Joe's // LIPSTICK: Buxom via Sephora // SUNGLASSES: Karen Walker // BLUSH: NARS 'Orgasm' via Sephora // FOUNDATION: Estee Lauder via Sephora // POWDER: Make Up Forever via Sephora // CONCEALER: Marc Jacobs via Sephora 

I have been asked a lot lately about my make up so I thought I would share my favorites along with some photos we took while in West Village yesterday! A lot of these products are the same ones I have used for years now and some are new that I love!

FOUNDATION: Estee Lauder (applied with a wetted down Beauty Blender)

POWDER: Make Up Forever (I apply with this brush)

CONCEALER: Marc Jacobs (applied with Beauty Blender)

BLUSH: Nars in Orgasm (applied with this brush)

EYESHADOW: Bare Minerals palette in 'Sexy Neutrals' (applied with this brush)

EYELINER: Artliner by Lacome

I also really like to use my Glam Glow - I put it on 30 min before and let it sit for about 20 and then take it off with warm water and I use my First Aid Beauty spf/moisturizer then apply my foundation!

Yesterday was a pretty hilarious day. It started with me and Atticus just laying in bed and being lazy - he was being SO fun and giggly so I took full advantage and just played with him! Then he went down for a nap while I cleaned and got ready. Then when he woke up I thought I would heat up some of the BBQ chicken and rolls I had made the night before so it was ready when David got home. WELL, we have a small apartment (obviously, its NYC) and we have very limited storage space! We recently did a Costco run (yay!) and our cabinets are MAXED out so we had zero room for my Frosted Flakes and Honey Bunches of Oats and we put them in the oven. I totally forgot they were in there and turned the oven on to broil so I could toast the rolls and started to smell something burning shortly after. It hit me that I forgot about the cereal and I opened the oven to see a giant fire!!!!! I was flipping out and didn't know what to do (some people say water makes it worse? and supposedly baking soda works?) I dont know but I started searching for a fire extinguisher that we don't have and then panicked and tried calling David when luckily he walked in the door! I was freaking out (shaking) and he was all calm and said "first things first.." - and grabbed the Honey Bunches of Oats that somehow hadn't caught on fire - and closed the oven and said it was fine. I was in shock like what??!?!? Our apartment is basically on fire and he snags the Honey Bunches of Oats and then kicks back. Hahaha. But it went out and all was good except the Frosted Flakes which is rather unfortunate. I cannot be trusted home alone!!! It was so sad too because Atticus could tell I was panicked and something was wrong and cried a little and had the sweetest concerned look on his face - he was soo worried! It was so sweet.

Have a good weekend everyone! Tomorrow is my birthday so we will be partyin!!

*Huge thanks to Sephora for sponsoring this post

    I am so in love with your shirt! Couldn’t find it at gap but heads up for anyone else who’s viewing this and wants it, there’s a pretty close replica at target for $12 (fitted, striped, boat neck, 3/4 sleeve) It isn’t pink and white stripes, sadly. 🙁

    AH! That is so scary/sad/funny about the fire! Blake about burned our kitchen down when we first got our puppy and he was just a baby.. Blake had turned oil on, then the puppy started to have an accident so he rushed him outside only to come in to black smoke and the pan on fire! Thankfully all ended well in ours too! I would love to look into these products, I only have a few things that I absolutely buy/use the same thing every time and would like to lock in some more favs.

    ALSO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY lovely!

    Yikes, I’m glad you’re all okay. A pan’s once caught on fire at my home. I screamed and my father ran downstairs to put out the fire. Despite my learning how to put out fires.

    A pop bar just opened locally here in my part of Canada. I wish to try it someday.

    Can’t get over A’s cuteness and those popsicles look so dang good!

        Can brunettes have blonde moments? Haha sorry I didn’t specify. I’m curious about the colors you use for your face makeup–specifically the EL doublewear foundation. Sadly I don’t live too close to Nordstrom or Sephora, so I’m trying to get a feel for the color to get the best match possible online. Summer weddings are coming up & I need longlasting coverage!

        Also side note–you are such an awesome girl. I love how down to earth & interactive with your followers you are. I know those two things combined with lots of hard work on your side are why you are so successful. Cheers (:

He was in my seminary class in high school and all I remember is him introducing himself and naming off every joke in the book that people have made about his last name and telling us not to make jokes about it haha

    I just wanted to add that I love that you reply to your comments. You are the only “big time blogger” I follow who responds to comments. All the others just respond to the negative ones…..makes no sense to me.
    On that note, I have been dying to ask if you have any advice for how to get your blog out there. Yours has grown so well over the past 5 years and I was curious if you have any tips or tricks for beginner bloggers like me? (Hope that’s not inappropriate to ask)

    Oh my goodness! You look so happy in these pics, it’s so nice to see, I love unfiltered joy!! I think Atticus has a sweet tooth with his crying til he gets his ice-cream haha.
    I bet you were so stressed with the fire, but I def think that is a story that you can look back on and just laugh about. David’s reaction was priceless! What a nice thing to be married to someone that doesn’t get too stressed!
    About your previous reply to my comment, yes, please let me know when you road trip to Canada, I have lots of recommendations and what not!
    ANNNNDD!! Happy flippin birthday for tomorrow! I wish you the biggest blessings for this next year. It’s been awesome seeing your life and success through this blog, and I’m sure you’ll have lots more adventures this next year! 🙂 Lots of love girl! xxxx B.

    Your little family is so adorable, Amber! I can’t wait until your next little enters the picture (literally!). And how amazing is your hair?! I love the two different braids together. You are a master of hair, for sure. I wish I had enough patience to sit in front of the mirror and figure braiding out, but I just end up getting too frustrated. Thanks for sharing! xx

    Amazing post! Amber, you have a perfect family and David is a perfect man for you. And this is so amazing! And I absolutely love how you show your life and share real feelings. I know that it is very personal and you may not want to answer these questions, but I think that many ladies who read your blog would like to read that. The thing is that I am a Christian just like you and David, and I am dating a boy now who is a Christian himself. But there are some things which are kinda difficult. Could you please write some tips for young people in love how to date and to treat each other, what is okay and what is not etc. Your family is perfect which makes me think that you know the answers. And I also don’t know what to do…seems like my boyfriend wants to make next step and there is kind of sexual tension between us, so I don’t really know if it is okay to have sex if we are not married and some other things.. Well, it would be soooo great if you anwered (I hope you will because I need your help!). But if you don’t, I will understand it indeed. With love, Linda

      Hi Linda! I know your question was for Amber, but I couldn’t help just mentioning this: http://jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/. Although the section is under “Teenagers,” the bible-based information listed under “Sex, Morals, and Love” is really beneficial to anyone single or currently in a relationship, and will show you where to find the principles in your own bible. Hope you’re able to find some encouragement!

    I love that face Atticus made after finally getting the Popsicle! He’s adorable!
    Also, oven fires go out on their own because fires need oxygen to burn, and leaving the door closed “starves” the fire. It is very scary though! So glad everything worked out okay!

    Aaaah! I would have FREAKED out too! I once lit a napkin on fire by grabbing a hot poptart from the toaster (when I was 14 or 15) and I immediately dropped it on the kitchen floor and started screaming. I thought I was going to catch the entire house on fire. My 9 year old brother walked into the room (looked at me like I was insane) and stomped out the fire. I can’t say I would react any differently if it happened again now.

    Can totally emphasize with you regarding almost burning down your home. My asian parents left mango boxes in the oven to ripen faster and I totally forgot. I preheated the oven to heat up some pizza and lets say the boxes lit on fire. There was little bit of smoke, but a pungent burning smell. Lucky, my family was home and my courageous mother took the boxes out and handled it. Now my family always makes fun of me for being soo forgetful and clumsy lol and reference this story a 1,000x. I wasn’t even pregnant and had a child to worry about. Long story, but mistakes happen to the best of us. Love Atticus he is so adorable, it just makes me miss my nieces and nephews and they just love stealing everything I’m eating, especially my niece who does not like when she doesn’t get her food on time. lol.

    Hahahaha! I am laughing so hard right now! First of all, props on your cereal choices. Definitely two of my favorites! Honey Bunches of Oats were saved though, so at least you could have a yummy snack after the panic. Secondly, this sounds exactly like something that would happen at my house so I totally feel you, girl! My husband comes home and it is like all hell has broken loose. But how do they manage to stay so calm?! I will never know.

    Gosh – just love your preggo pics. I hate that phase because it’s like, “If I wear a tight shirt people will think that I’ve just eaten too much, and it all goes right to my uterus!” or you go with the flowy-er top and then it can get boring. But anyways, so beautiful 🙂
