Cheesy Learns Ya Somethin’ | Your Teeth

I thought this would be the perfect time to write this considering I got a tooth extracted today due to it being broken and then getting a cavity and starting to die inside my mouth, ouch… My #2 tooth to be exact. Yep, if you didn’t know it, your teeth are numbered. Starting at the upper right side of your mouth with your “wisdom tooth” (which I no longer have, but it is still apparently commemorated by having a numbered place in my mouth!) Then it moves along the upper left then down to the lower left and finally the lower right. It doesn’t even matter that I never had all four wisdom teeth – I only had three. That tooth my mouth never experienced still gets a number.

Here’s a handy dandy chart to help explain this for all of you visual learners out there!

Here are a few definitions, if you even care lol, to spare you a run to Google/(or Bing if you like free rewards just for searching!):

Mandibular: Pertaining to the mandible, which is the lower jaw bone.

Maxillary: Pertaining to the maxilla - surprise, surprise it’s the upper jaw bone.

Anterior: Toward the front (especially of the human body).

Posterior: Opposite of anterior, to the back of the body.

So, lucky number two got pulled. It is soooo lucky that it is located suuuuuper close to the maxillary sinus which you now know from my earlier defining that is the sinus inside the upper jaw. It is specifically located below the eye and down to just where the roots of the teeth begin… but what I learned today is that some people’s roots can extend into the sinus because they are missing a small section that separates them unscientifically called the “bony floor” or that bony-floor-ness can be damaged during the removal process of the tooth. I basically found this all out because my allergies suck and I had to blow my nose several hours after surgery… and there was what looked like a massive amount of blood pouring out of my right nostril which is now is a tiny flow without forcing it. Now that the numbing agents have worn off, I can also feel air in my mouth when I breath through my nose. Another possible side effect is beverages coming out of my nose when I drink which I am reeeeeally not looking forward to! Now it’s outrageously important that I follow extra “sinus precautions” which include the normal post-op precautions of not drinking with a straw, no carbonated drinks or hot food/beverages, gauze the area until it stops bleeding and change it ever hour, a soft-food diet, ice my chipmunk cheek, take the pain meds/antibiotic as directed, and to start rinsing my mouth with the prescribed rinse every 3-4 hours after 24 hours. The sinus precautions are that I cannot AT ALL blow my nose, I can only hold a tissue to it and take allergy/sinus medicine to control my drippy-ness, I must open my mouth if I must sneeze, and not to do anything that would cause pressure in my sinus cavity such as flying in pressurized planes, scuba diving, blowing up balloons, bearing down on teeth when lifting things, playing instruments that you have to use airflow for, or anything that might cause pressure in the mouth or nose. My favorite recommendation from my oral surgeon was “eat LOTS of ice cream!”

I hoped you learned at least a little something here today! I do my best to give you guys some lagniappe!

Time to eat some mac & cheese on the left side of my mouth, drink sweet tea with no straw, and follow it with pain meds and an ice pack! Have a better night than me, lol!

Kay Cheesy, out!!

Monday Poll Vol. 446 Response

Well, Karen did it again, and so shall I!

1. Which do you prefer: cool-toned red lipsticks or warm-toned red lipsticks? And do you have a particular favorite one?

I hardly EVER wear a red lip because my husband prefers pink... and well, when you have a husband as fantastic as mine - you wear what he likes! *wink wink* However, I definitely prefer a cool-toned red. My current personal favorite is F-Bomb from Urban Decay.

2. How readily do you blush?

I am from the "pale princess" tribe, therefore I blush easily. I mean, I guess you could call it blushing when my face practically turns red for every reason... eating hot or spicy food, coughing, choking, wind burn, sun burn, allergies... you name it! I'm like a walking peppermint if I'm not wearing a pretty nice-coverage foundation.

3. If you could live forever in a particular decade, which decade would you choose and why?

I would pick the 1920s for the simple fact that there was more modesty... and it was the decade between WWI and WWII. I'd be a little bit of a rebel in the fashion industry then because I prefer my hair long, but I love that women mostly kept their goods covered and left a lot to the imagination!

4. (FILL IN THE BLANK) changes everything.

A positive, inspiring, motivational, uplifting, encouraging and overall supporting and loving best friend as your spouse.

5. Wearing sequins during the day: a do or a don’t?

Do! Just not where it is going to be rubbing against your arms... like in the arm pit area. Made that painful mistake before... not pretty! Talk about chaffing! Ouch.

It is really a fun thing for me to respond to Karen's posts! Make sure you go and check her blog out here!

That's Paquing HOT!

So, a few days ago, I was stalking my ibotta app (as normal) and I came across a rebate for $1.00 back on Paqui chips. Hmm, never heard of them! I love to try new food, so I naturally headed down the chip aisle at Walmart with my hubs and found the new item in its cute and simple packaging. My two choices at that specific Wally World store were that of a cheesy variety… and Haunted Ghost Pepper. In the season of Halloween and my instinctive nature to try and torture my sinuses for the pleasure of my taste buds, I chose the ghost pepper ones! Come on, they can’t be THAT hot, right?!

WRONG-O!


I ate one. One. ONE chip and I was dying! I ran and grabbed an ice cream cone from the freezer to sooth my screaming salivary glands. My husband heroically got through three after calling me a weenie! These suckers are insanely hot and should come with a waiver!


Now this calls for a challenge, a Paqui Challenge!! I dare you to eat as many as you can (one at a time, full chips) without a beverage or any other food! Make sure you tag me @kay_cheesy!! *I’m not legally responsible for any casualty or fatality!* 


Happy munching!

Monday Poll Vol. 445 Response

I recently started following @karenmbb on twitter and reading her blog. I can’t even describe the feeling I get when I see a new tweet from her that has a new article attached! It is like the same feeling I get when my favorite beauty vloggers post their monthly fave videos!  I love the way she writes – humorous and captivating all wrapped up in one quick read! When I stumbled upon today’s tweet with her Monday Poll blog (the first of which I’d ever seen), I knew I had to post a response! Karen, the idea for your Mondays is phenomenal, and I honestly want to post answers to the same questions on my blog here just as a fun new hobby! I hope you get to read it! Anywho, here goes:

1. London, Paris, LA or Tokyo?

Tokyo! I have been in the mood for delicious Asian cuisine for around a month now. Even drug my wonderfully patient husband to a Chinese food place where he sat with his Coke and watched me eat lol. He’s not a big fan of the food, but I’m lucky he’s a big fan of mine! I would love to travel to all of those places and experience them, but I would definitely start with Tokyo! Japan seems like the most unique, culturally of the four places.

2. Do you ever wear men’s fragrances?

Yep! I wear Old Spice Figi deodorant on occasion. I have worn my husband’s cologne a few times too. His Hugo Boss smells so goooooood.

3. Have you ever driven a classic car?

I literally just took to Bing to figure out how old a car has to be to be deemed “classic”… and the answer is 20-25 years old depending on what state you’re in. Well, then that’s a yes! My dad used to own a white 1976 Chevy Nova with cherry interior. I LOVED that car, especially when he put dual exhaust on it! It was throaty as fuuuuuck. Excuse the language, but NOTHING has ever sounded as good as that car! Wish I had a picture to insert, but unfortunately I don’t. He has since sold it too. Ahh, dreams.

4. Are you wearing false lashes today?

Meh. Nope. I hardly ever wear them. I haven’t quite mastered the art, and I always work so hard on my eye makeup that I never want to chance it! I mean, I didn’t spend thirty minutes blending out eyeshadow to ruin it with a misplaced strip and gooky glue!

5. Is the inside of your purse neat or messy?

Depends on what day it is! I recently cleaned it out, but before that there were about eight lipsticks, lots of coins, a ton of receipts, and of course – candy!

6. Who was the last person you held hands with?

My amazingly wonderful husband @thenastyj – ladies and gents, I’ve really found the one! I married my best friend and almost two years later we couldn’t be happier!

If you’d like to see Karen’s original post, here ya go: http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/just-for-fun/makeup-beauty-blog-monday-poll-vol-445/

Should you want to follow suit, here are the questions to copy and paste:

1. London, Paris, LA or Tokyo?
2. Do you ever wear men’s fragrances?
3. Have you ever driven a classic car?
4. Are you wearing false lashes today?
5. Is the inside of your purse neat or messy?

Cheesy Tries It: First Edition – DIY Charcoal & Glue Blackhead Mask

So, I saw this on YouTube (shoutout to beautybyjosiek, and I HAD to try it for myself! I mean, who doesn’t want to make a goopy mess of shiny squid ink- looking stuff and slather it on their face?! It looked too good to be true, so naturally I had to try it… just to make sure it wasn’t an instant miracle like some people were saying!

First, I’ll explain the “process”:

1)      Gather the ingredients!

·       Elmer’s glue (like the kind kiddos use, ya know non-toxic and such)

·       Activated charcoal pills (I personally bought mine at Walgreens for $20.99. It had 100 capsules in it and they were called CharcoCaps.)

·       A small bowl to mix in

·       Something to stir it with (I used a wooden coffee stir-stick because I’m weird about using spoons and such with non-edible things.)

2)      Put the glue in your bowl. I used a small amount (maybe 2 tbsp.) and even had some left over after applying to my nose and chin.

3)      Open one charcoal cap into the glue. Just softly twist it, and it will come open. Be careful because it kind of poofs out everywhere! Get as close into the bowl to the glue as possible… might be a good idea to use a deep bowl!

4)      Stir it all up to make a black, shiny, goopy, crazy mixture!

5)      Steam the pores you are going to apply the mixture to with a hot towel. (PS- avoid areas with hair “like the plague” according to beatybyjosiek. I did not try it anywhere with hair because if someone says something like that… I’m just going to listen to them and heed their advice!)

6)      Apply the mixture to your nose/chin. I used my finger. Apply a semi-thick application. You definitely want to leave room for those icky black heads to soak up into the scary black goop!

7)      Wait. Til it dries. Like a while. I didn’t time it, but I would have to say at least a good 45-60 minutes. (Which was very hard, because my husband NastyJ is HILARIOUS and I was trying so hard not to laugh and crack the mask!)

8)      Remove – in an UPWARD motion to make sure you get all the gunk out.

9)      Check out all the nasties that are on the dried goop! Eww!

So, after doing all of that…

REVIEW:

I did not have the same results as other people… but I also only used ONE charcoal capsule in my mixture! I also did not let my nose dry completely on the tip because it had been around and hour and I was ready to hit the hay! 

I am a few days out from trying this though, and I must say that any acne I had in the chin area really cleared up although my blackheads are still there. I am definitely going to do a round two with this and try it with two charcoal capsules to see if that helps to pull those nasty suckers out of my face! I will probably also video the next round so I can show off the awesome process! Hey, science can be fun! :)

Did you try this? Leave me a comment!

First Impression (Day-Late) Friday: Revlon Photoready Insta-Fix Makeup

So, I really like makeup... and I want to move my career into doing something that involves helping people and centers around cosmetics and beauty. This partnered with the fact that I have been absorbing facts and knowledge from YouTube beauty gurus (like NikkieTutorials, grav3yardgirl, Tati, Huda Beauty, SariReanna, Zabrena, thekatvond, WhatWouldLizzyDo, AlexisJayda, Jennifer Chiu, thataylaa, Kandee Johnson, myratouchofglam, Kathleen Lights and like a shit ton more...) has got me wanting to dive into the world of cosmetic reviews and tutorials/hacks!

Well here is the VERY first one! You can check out my video on YouTube to see the real action! The lighting is super duper terrible, but I'm working on getting a better set-up! Watch my video and subscribe to watch me grow in my career, develop new skills, get better lighting lol, and you never know, I might learn ya somethin'! Warning: I'm crazy and weird, but I'm Kay Cheesy so that's okay!

Here is the review/first impression in word form for those of you who are like me and like to read as much if not more than watching a video!

Product: Revlon Photoready Insta-Fix Makeup (Foundation)

I got my Insta-Fix at CVS for around $5 after the deals, my saved up Extrabucks, and a coupon! I love love LOVE a good deal - especially on makeup!!!! It normally retails there for around $14.50, but you can get it at Walmart for around $11, or other drugstores/big boxes too.

First first impressions are, of course the packaging. It is rather plain, but I'm okay with that. I'd rather pay for a plain-looking product that does the job than a frilly-looking one that is a piece of you-know-what! It was easy to open and the color/name (mine is 110 Ivory because I am a member of the pasty white girl club as far as skin goes) is on the bottom. There's 0.24oz./6.8g in the stick of foundation. Yep, it's a stick! I might be a little new to the scene, but that part excites me because it is easy to just smear it all over my face instead of gooping it on my hand or a palette first or slapping it on with a makeup sponge from a pan. That being said, it was easy peasy to apply.

At first it felt really creamy and I thought it was going to be too think, but after I applied it and then blended it out with my e.l.f. Small Stipple Brush it felt like I had nothing on! It looked great on my combination/oily face! It matched my more yellow-tinted ivory skin tone perfectly! It was impressive with one coat, but on my problem areas/blemishes I did have to go back and add another coat for fuller coverage. Keep in mind that in my first impression video I did NOT wear any primer, color corrector, or concealer as I wanted this to be a true testament to the products coverage. If you are someone who doesn't need full coverage foundation, you could literally grab this little guy, apply, blend, and throw it in your purse and go. However, if you need fuller coverage, I recommend concealer and possibly more than one coat of the foundation depending on your skin "situation." Mine is a little rough, not gonna lie!

Digging a little deeper than the video, I wore the foundation (like, right after the video, no concealer, etc.) for seven hours, and while it did cling a little to my dry areas and cake around my problem zones, the product stayed on my face even after sweating in the South Texas humid heat! I think I need a little more use of the product, but I'm pretty sure it is going to be a thumbs-up on the recommending of it! I will update my page as I try it more!

Kay Cheesy, out!

A Big Cheesy Welcome to Ya!

Well hello there, newcomers! You are obviously newcomers, because I newly created this blog! I'm giving it a try to see how it goes and if I am going to like it or not. I want my content to justify the time I spend on it, so we shall see now, won't we?

First off, I'm Kay Cheesy (AKA Kaleigh or @kay_cheesy)! Hi, how are ya? :) You can find me (if that's not how you got here to begin with) on twitter, Instagram, singing on smule, or possibly in a corner watching my own , also newly-created, YouTube videos and hiding from my responsibilities! I'm over-the-moon, amazingly happily married to my Joshy (AKA NastyJ)! He is my world! I love to sing, dance, watch makeup tutorials, mess around and pretend I know what I'm doing with makeup, talk, write, game (Xbox, if you must know), read articles, stay fit, and share my knowledge with others.

That brings me to why I'm here! I am creating this blog to bring you my plethora of insight on lots of things! Whether you are into gaming, computers/software, music, singing, beauty, makeup, math, random entertaining and funny things, or none of the above... I promise there will eventually be something on this page that you will find to give you a smile or an actual tip you can use!

I plan on doing a sort-of conjunction between my YouTube channel and this blog. I want to review products, help people learn about computer software, help with shortcut math, share gaming news, share recipe wins and disasters, share my weight loss story (umm, we are talking almost 100 pounds here people and keeping it off), and much, much, much-o a-lot-o more-o. I'm very scattered in my passions, so there should always be something awesome going on around here!

Side note: I love grammar, but yo it is like 2016 and I'm a member of the sometimes-I'm-lazy-or-I-want-you-to-get-exactly-how-I-said/meant-something party! I use lots of exclamation points because everything is exciting in my life! *** Please feel free to correct my grammar in comments or message me on social media if you find something I need to correct! Even if you ARE doing it solely to be a bitch, I won't be bothered by it - I appreciate feedback!

Shout out to my mom, Jennifer, who I know will be reading this probably before anyone else (even my awesome hubby who is currently sitting next to me playing The Division - oh you play too? Shoot him a message on XBL if you wanna team up!) Hi, Mom!!! I love you! :)

Please leave comments with ideas, suggestions, and whatever else you want, of course! :) Follow me on social media and on the Tube for all the latest!

Cheese ya later!
