Allo everyone! Its Thursday and that means the weekend for most of you starts tomorrow! I am sorry that I haven't been posting much due to being busy with work, family, and playing taxi. Also I am helping my aunt plan and get ready for her Halloween party and looking for final details for my costume; if i ever decide between my two ideas!
Thought that I would give y'all an update to my happenings and hopefully get back on track with posts and everything!
By looking at the title of this post, it is a great night on ABC if you watch the line-up starting at 8pm. Grey's, Scandal, and the new Rhimes's legal drama How to Get Away With Murder. And let mt tell you, I am glad that all three shows are on one single night. This will let everyone watch the shows that they want. And watch the creative genius that Shonda Rhimes bring to television! #THIT= Thank God It's Thursday is all for one of the greatest women in television and she has accomplished all of this over the course of ten years!!! Round of applause to her y'all and on to the next topic!
Lately I have been so busy with looking for work and trying to balance work, life, and everything else that family has thrown at me! My depression is under control. I haven't been in a deep dark place since I have been on the medication. I am happier and I haven't been thinking too much about the dark place of my life. I LOVE IT!!!! Many of the people in past are staying there and I have lost some friends that might make my life healthier and happier! Depression can lead you down a dark down whirl spiral and it is not good. It will be a dark lonely place and could lead to death. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact a mental health professional.
Other than that, I have just been relaxing when I can and sleep, eat, have fun as a single lady, and kicking ass trying to do my best at my job! Hope y'all have a great night/day and talk soon!
Shannon :p

New Eyeshadow That I Love!!!
Allo friends and today I thought I would share with you a new find that I am in love with!!!
One of my favourite things to do is walk around drugstores and look for new products to try or that I can't find at Harmon. So on my latest trip, I went to Kmart and buy just hair dye; but per usual I bought much more! But I am going to tell you about one product that I have fallen in love with.
If you know me, my signature colour on my lids now is Maybelline Pomegranate Punk and it looks amazing with my dark hair and light brown eyes. Also I can't really do green anymore without looking like a Christmas tree with the red hair. Back on track, I have been looking for a shadow to layer on top to keep the color in place. So, I purchases e.l.f. Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow in Soiree. This is a very similar color to Pomegranate Punk and I was so happy!
When I got on I opened it and it wasn't a powder shadow. It was a whipped shadow. Something I have never tried before and it was a color I loved! So I have been wearing this on top of Maybelline masterkajal in Onyx Rush so it gives a depth on the dark side like me!
After I smudge the kajal all over the lid, I use a clean finger and apply the Soiree on top of the black leaving the outer corner blank if you would like to use a black matte shadow on the outer corner. Then I finish the rest of the look and I am done!!!
The one thing that I love about e.l.f. cosmetics is that they are inexpensive, easy on the wallet and widely available in a store near you! With makeup to tools to gifts there are many things to choose from!
I am not sponsored by any of the companies mentioned and I purchased everything with my money.
Hope you all have a great weekend and talk to you soon!
Here are the links to e.l.f. and Maybelline if you'd like to see the products that I used and the rest of what they have to offer!

Seaside Here I Come!!!
The McCloskeys are coming Seaside!!! It is another year of a watchfire! When this gets posted I will probably be working my tail off setting up and cooking all night. But on the flip side is that a nice fire will be keeping me warm until I get cozy in the hotel room to sleep. But if y'all check my Instagram and you'll see all of the beautiful photos of Seaside, my family, and everything going on!!! And I will be taking video of my weekend and hopefully post it on YouTube. Shall see everyone!

Explanation!
Allo everyone! I am going to a service to remember POWs and MIAS= Prisoners of War and Missing In Action. As part of weekend we properly retire both American and POW flags. There are services throughout the night and one of them is the meaning of the single table. Then we have another reading of the names of current POWs/MIAs. Below is a photo and the meaning of the table. I did my senior option project on the organization that I have been a part of since I was a little girl.
•Tablecloth is white: symbolic of purity of their intentions
to respond their country’s call to arms.
•A single rose: Reminds us of the families
and loved ones of
our comrades who
kept faith awaiting their return.
•A red ribbon around the vase: reminds of the red ribbon worn
on the lapel and breast of thousands who bear witness to this tragedy; with
unyielding determination demand a proper accounting of our missing.
•Lemon slice: bitter fate of the POWs and MIAs
•Salt on the plate:
the families tears and they wait.
•Inverted glass: cannot toast with us tonight
•Empty chair: they are not here
We have the watch fire in Seaside Heights, NJ on the beach at the end of the boardwalk. It is held on the third weekend of September since that is POW/MIA recognition weekend. I help out from prep, helping my da cook, keeping the fire going by retiring the flags, then crashing at midnight because I am so flamed out from the long day. Then another service at 7am to close it out until the next year. I will be posting a blog when I come home Sunday or Monday; shall see how I feel when I am home. I can't wait to my Legion family in South Jersey and have a small break from my crazy work and daily life!!!
Talk to y'all soon and have a fun and safe last weekend of summer!!!

Boring day!
Allo friends!!! Today is a cold morning and I thought that I would give y'all a peak into my Monday! WARNING: IT IS NOTHING FUN but it is my start of the week.
Also my best friend has been staying with me and I have been taking her to and from work when I can. FYI
I am doing the time in military time because that is what comes naturally to me.
6:15: wake up. My best friend worked at 7 and it is about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Start the car so he can warm up and the both of us get dressed.
6:45: start the journey to work :(
7:15: came home and started to watch tv and clean up my floor- aka my bed
I also take this time to catch up on my DVR recordings and catch up on watchin YouTube videos
9:00: Laundry time! I am seriously running out of clothes and it is getting colder plus I am going away for the weekend; and there will be a post on what I am doing since I have to explain it and it's a Legion event. Can't wait to see my friends from South Jersey! Seaside The Red Head aka my da and I are coming Saturday!
11:00: paint my nails. I bought the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Base and Top Coat in Black-O. I have never had gel nails before so this is new for me. But the brush for the top coat was messed up so I used the one from the polish so I could do the top coat. I finished doing my nails around 11:30 and just letting them dry completely so there are no smudges.
12:20: I am making lunch, Da and I went grocery shopping and from what we bought, I am making a fish sandwich and chips aka fries!!! So excited! When it gets closer to finishing I will toast a ciabatta roll and dress the sandwich the same way I would eat fish & chips which is just ketchup, salt, and pepper. Whilst waiting I am going to snack on a tomato and eat shortly, After, I eat I think that I will do my makeup! Maybe... shall see... I might since I have dark nails on and going to stay in the dark theme.
14:05: folding laundry whilst watchin tv
15:15: dressed and start makeup
15:45-15:50: start driving to work
16:00-19:00: work
19:15: home from work and look for something to eat for dinner
After this, it is mostly boring unless I go out with my friends. I usually relax and watch some tv, watch movies, Netflix, or YouTube.
Hope y'all enjoyed this post and talk to you soon!!!
