I present to you a little embarrassing treat because I forgot to post last month and feel terrible about it since I want to keep up with my posts!
Drumroll, por favor!
I present to you....
THE EVER EMBARRASSING GWIYOMI DANCE!
Yes, I did it. Yes, I suffered while I edited it. Nonetheless, enjoy the overdose of cuteness that the song does by itself.

Hello, lovelies! A month has gone by without me vlogging or blogging and I feel bad about that! Soon, you guys will see why I haven't been keeping you up to date. SOON!
Good things come to those who wait, right?
In the meantime, enjoy the videos I'll be posting this week that are...something.
Love,
SamiJo

Oh, hello, lovelies!
I’m back with, yet another, vlog post. Exciting, huh? No? Yes? Hahahaha! Anyways…
This vlog post is a bit of a departure from my other videos (despite my alluding to doing something like this type of video) only because it deals with makeup. I know, I know—I hinted at doing makeup tutorials on my Instagram or in a video (I think…don’t hold me to that!), but I’m not artistically creative when it comes to makeup. To be honest, I didn’t understand the importance of having proper eyebrows—yes, proper eyebrows—until quite recently.
Okay, I must stop there. Spotlight off of me and onto my bestie, Cori! When she visited me last month, January, we had some time to play before she left. So, what do two girls do on a Saturday?
Well, we went started the morning off watching August: Osage County to see the beautiful cast and how the story unfolded…and, the ever beautiful Benedict Cumberbatch—but, honestly, we went there for the all-star cast. Ah! Yes, and to see Abigail Breslin. My God, she is the same age as my brother and she has grown up to be a beautiful young lady. I can’t wait to see more from her! (Can we get her in a movie with Chloë Grace Moretz? I don’t want Hollywood to produce some fluffy teen movie—I want an action film! Or suspense. Or both? They would be brilliant together! In my opinion….)
After the movie and a bit of a discussion in the car, we found ourselves in the northern part of Indianapolis at Johnny Rockets. We were hoping to spend some time at the Fashion Mall, but a little bit of an emergency cropped up at home. But, before we did that…we hit the Castleton Square Mall. At the mall, we did some shopping—Cori more than me only because if I had, we wouldn’t have left the place in time for her bus. (I’m terribly indecisive.) Cori bought this awesome set of makeup for under $100 because everything was on sale to make room for the spring season! She got some stuff from both Sephora and Icing, and I have yet to talk to her about them. I hope they’re as awesome as they were when we unraveled them in the video!
Anyways, here’s the list! I checked back at Icing and Sephora recently: The Sephora + Pantone items are still in the sale section, however, I am almost positive that the buy one get one ½ off sale is over. Yay but a tad poopy. (Hahahahahahaha!!) Icing is still having their BOGO sale on make-up. Just throwing that in there.
The List:
- Icing Expert Compact Kabuki Brush
- Icing Mattifying Face Powder
- 2 Way Wet & Dry Foundation
- Icing Expert “Nearly Nude” Eyeshadow Palette
- Sephora+Pantone Universe nail polish in Waterfall
- Sephora+Pantone Universe Precious Metal Mousse Shadow in Gold
- Sephora+Pantone Universe Emerald Green Eye Liner (2013 Colour of the Year)
- Tangerine Ink Lip Gloss (08) – not a sale item!
- Blinc Mascara Amplified in black – not a sale item!
Pretty much everything was under $10 with the exception of about three items, but her haul was spectacular! Especially her catch with the Urban Decay Naked palette dupe!
Anyways, happy shopping to everyone who decides to venture out! Hopefully I’ll be able to get some reviews for her if anyone wants some!
Love,
SamiJo
P.S.
I'll be back with a few shots from our lunch the day she came as well as a blooper reel from the video shoot! <3

Good morning, lovelies!
Okay, well it's not morning for me anymore--well, it's late morning. Maybe by now it's not like that for most of you. I don't know. I just can never get my greetings right, huh?
Anyways, I hope your morning or day started off right...depending on what time of day you woke. I have to say, I woke up feeling pretty well. After spending about an hour of my night perusing the interwebs for different uses of leftover cooked brown rice, I settled on making my own version of brown rice porridge earlier this morning.
My porridge started off with just milk in it before I thought it would be an awesome idea to mix something into it. I wasn't in the mood for something that was only sweet, so honey was out of the window. Instead, I grabbed my jar of Nutella and added teaspoon after teaspoon of the yummy goodness until I was satisfied.
And then I had the brilliant idea of adding peanut butter.
It may sound like a mistake, but it came out really good. The thing I didn't do right was add a whole spoon of it instead of teaspoons of it. Gyah. I got a huge whopping spoonful of peanut butter brown rice porridge when I tried it. TOO MUCH. I had to put more Nutella into it to balance it out. Oh well! It came out great after that! I ladled some into a bowl and topped it off with half of a sliced banana and glass of orange juice.
YUM!
Well, let's get down to the heart of the manner. My new video. It's a cover of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" from Disney's Frozen.
I know I'm not the best singer in the world and that I can barely sing, but, hey, lemme be honest here: If I can act like a little kid for a brief amount of time and not embarass myself a whole lot, then I will surely do it! So I donned my Hello Kitty glasses (you can buy a pair from eBay or Amazon), my purple oversized glasses, and my every day prescription ones at different times for this video. I hope you guys enjoy it, because it did take me about two weeks to get comfortable singing this in front of a camera! And to get comfortable singing the older version of Ana's part... I don't know. Did I make it harder than it should be? Please like, comment (postive feedback??), and subrscribe! I won't be doing that many covers.
Love,
SamiJo
