11 months old.

March 29th already? Wow. That means almost APRIL! Oh. My. Lord. You know what that means? Abegael is 11 months old today, almost one year old! That means soon, 5 days before she turns one, I'll be 21! Really!? Time flies so fast, I swear it was just last week I brought Abegael home. Abegael is eaching herself how to stand up without holding onto anything for support. Soon enough she'll be walking walking on me! Sure she goes from one thing to something else thats close....but I think I might cry my eyes out when she actually walks!

Word has it the Easter Bunny is charging me around $35 for Abegaels basket, LOL! Baskets are hard for babies, I swear! I am excited for when she gets older and she follows the Easter Bunnies jelly bean trail from our door to her basket. I just hope she doesn't eat the jelly beans from the floor, lol, esp the ones that lead outside! xD Whats also hard with her basket is we, me and her, (since I love bunnies), both of us together have over 20 bunny stuffed animals, lol. Her theme was bunnies. xD BUNNIES WE LOOOOVE! Ahem, anyway!


Polish things! I went to Walgreens today on the hunt for Milani Textures....they had no trace of ANY Milani products, SAD FACE! I actually liked how they looked. xD Then Riteaids I'm on the hunt for JulieG Gumdrops! I want them all and I HOPE they'll get them! Then the new WnW fastdrys along with L.A. Girls 3D Holos I want! I hope I can get atleast one set or some of each before my birthday at near the end of April. I wanna give myself a present. My many cold walks for my mother better be worth it! :D

Speaking of the cold, I AM SICK OF IT! Its usually warming up by now but its like full on winter still here. Well for my area. Most of the time we always miss the snow, ALWAYS, all towns around an hour away get bombed while we just get the freezing arctic temps! Its still like that. The only glimps of Spring is SOME mornings the SUN shows! THE SUUUUN! But it doesn't even last an hour when it does show in the mornings. I'm sick of all these around 45 or below temps. I WANT MY WARM WEATHER!

Anywho. Anything big going on soon for you? Is anyone special looking forward to the Easter Bunny? Any polishes you are excited about? Hows the weather where you live!? :D

Juniper Subscription Review.

Okay, I really need to keep posting or figure out days and such for posts. Anyway, I saved this for when mothers natures gift was gone or almost gone.



The Box: Juniper

The Products: Pads, midol, tampons and treats! ( Luxury pampering box for mother natures gifting time.)

The Cost: $28 monthly, includes shipping!




What I seen when I removed the tissue paper. :D



Here is my bag of treats! So far everything was neat, the treats come in this see through back, pads and such in a silky like bag which you'll see soon. ON TO THE TREATS!!


Honey sticks in Apple, Peaches and Clover! I loved these, I downed the apple and peaches but the clover was just too much cause the natural sugar like high got to me. xD No sleep that night and it wasn't cause of Abegael!


Oh man these caramels, I could eat these forever, I had to wait for the morning to try these cause they contain wine in them, I didn't even taste the wine, it was so sweat yet salty I loooved it!


Look at these huge pecans! Sweet and Spicy is just a bite of heaven for me! So sweet with an undertone of spicy, I could eat these for the rest of my life~


Dark Chocolate with peanuts, I think peanuts, anyway.... I am a milk chocolate lover ALL THE WAY, but I would eat these anyway, thats how yummy they were. <3




At first I thought these were drugs, lmbo! I was like, omg, wait...what? I will one day soon use these teas! :D
Have any of you tried these? If so, how were they? :D


On the card said these would be like grilled cheese in snack form. But oh man, these were like cheese its ot whatever they are called...but BETTER! I couldn't stop eating these I wish the bag was neverending!


Baggie empty, I love these kind of bags!


My box of tampons I'll never use, I don't think I will ever use tampons, I'm more of a pad girl, lol.


Two over night pads, lookie the cute packaging! I guess its called packaging, lol.


Five panty liners, aren't these the cutest? (there is two main green ones there)

Three Regular pads, oh how I love the leopard like print. <3


The silky baggie I was talking about, I think I might start collecting these baggies. xD <3



The grassy things in the box. :D Some sparkly!


What I also like is on the back of the tampon box there is the warning and to help you find the right tampon I guess? I know nothing of pads except of that TSS thing.


Over all, I love this box but it is out of my price range, a friend thats a blogger reviewed a box and the company gave everyone a free box if they mentioned her name for her followers. I wasn't told to review, I just did it just cause. <3

Sugar `N Spice VoxBox 2013


Yup! I got my 2nd VoxBox which I am happy for! I got the 2nd February Box, Sugar `N Spice!

 


Here is everything I got in the box! :D

Three things I got include Colgate's Optic White Regimen:
Use the Optic White toothpaste, toothbrush, and mouthwash together for whiter teeth in five days (vs. brushing with an ordinary toothpaste alone).

Here is the toothbrush. The brush is made to get areas you can't normally get and hold in the toothpaste better! Also has a tongue/inner cheek brush thing on the other side! Its amazing! This is the best toothbrush I ever used!
Retails for $2.99 per brush.

Colgate's Optic White mouthwash in Sparkling Fresh Mint.
It's Alcohol free.
Helps protect against future stains.
Reaches hard-to-brush areas.
Kills bad breath germs.
Enamel Safe.

To me I have to use all my might with this stuff. I think I am allergic to an ingredient. Once I put some in my mouth, I get a reflex to SPIT! Or gag if I try to swish around my mouth for a few seconds. Also makes me gums red after using. Dx Other then that I think its helping with stains along with the toothpaste. I might stop since I might be allergic.

Retails for $2.99 for 8oz bottle.


Optic White Toothpaste in Sparkling Mint
Loooove this toothpaste! I def saw a difference in my first use. More so each time I use this stuff! :D
Whiter Teeth In One Week.
Daily Anticavity Fluoride Toothpast | Enamel Safe!

I had no reaction to the toothpaste, thank god! Cause this is the best toothpaste I ever used, too, :)

Retails $2.99 for 4 oz tube!

I really recommend this regimen, but maybe stop use if you get an reaction like I did to the mouthwash. :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next is belVita Breaskfast Biscuits: $3.69 for a box of 5 packets of 4 biscuits.

Cute little package the size about your hand, well mine, :)


Look like gram crackers. xD Think mine was cinnamon something.... xD It was delicious though!
They are made with delicious ingredients and carefully baked to release steady energy that lasts all morning. They are a good source of Fiber and B-Vitamins, contain no high fructose corn syrup, have 18-20 grams of whole grain per 50 gram serving and taste great -  perfect for on-the-go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 Next is Nectresse: $6.99 for 5.9 oz container, or $3.99 for a box of 40 packets.
NECTRESSE sweetener tastes like sugar but has zero calories per serving! 100% all natural, NECTRESSE is made primarily from monk fruit combined with other natural sweeteners.

Its amazing, best I ever tried! I would def recommend! To the left is a booklet I also got which explains more about it and some recipes with how much calories they are and all! I love the cinnamon hot chocolate in there! Yum!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next is Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture: $7.99 for 6.5 oz can!
This stuff is AH-MAZING!
Hold 4 inches from skin and spray over arms, legs and body in a continuous motion. Quickly rub into skin and go!
Its not greasy, at all!
Moisturizes in seconds so you can put your clothes right on!
Smells amazing. :D

LOVELOVELOVE, Recommended!  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next is Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes: $5.99 for a 20-count box!
Cleans & Conditions on the go!
oil free - non-drying - all skin types
gently removes dirt, oil, & impurities while eliminating shine
with botanical extracts
gentle formula
touched with aloe

This stuff made my skin feel sooo much softer then usual!
Its amazing. Though like the name, witch hazel, it smells like hazel wood. C:

Also below as you can see I got a couple Save $2.00 off the purchase of any Dickinson's original Witch Hazel product! 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I'm very happy with this box

My opinions are my own with my experiences of these products.

My First Official Review; L.A. Colors!

Hello my lovlies. Today I got a review for you of some L.A. Colors products!

*I received these for free for my honest opinion/review by L.A. Colors.



First of all, LOVE the little baggies they send their stuff in. The eyeshadow which is the top right was wrapped in pink tissue paper.


Here is everything I got! And you see my swatch of Candy Sprinkles on here cause in this picture is the best one I could get. COME ON SUN, I MISS YOU! xD Can't get the right lights without sun.
Took 2 coats to get full coverage, could use some undies though!
Top left; Candy Sprinkles Nail Polish.
Top right; Not sure what line/collection but an eyeshadow in bare with a matte finish - CES142
The rest from top to bottom;
DOUBLE Volume mascara in black
GRAFiX eyeliner in black
Glossin go! on-the-go pocket lipgloss in Tulle


Here is a picture of the eyeliner. It has a flexible rubber brush like thing. AMAZING to control lines, better then normal little brushes.


The brush for the mascara, may be old school look but I love it, went on smooth and no issues!


Close up of the eyeshadow, bare with a matte finish. This matched my skin so well, you'll see why I only did one eye later. I love this cute little thing! See the brush? There is a way to connect it to the lid.


My swatch of the lipgloss. It...matched my lips so it just gave my lips a shine as seen on bottom lip.


IGNORE MY EYE BROWS. Lol, I didn't do anything to them in forever since I hardly get out so. yeaaaah.
As seen I did one side like I said earlier.


My eyeliner technique is bad for this one, lol. It was easy but its my first time this this type of 'brush'.
Looking down, notice how well the eyeshadow matches? I had to do many coats persay to show a difference. EVERYTHING applied like a dream. 


Close up looking down!


SCARY OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? 
Lol, I scared myself when I saw this. I was like.  What happened to my eye!? xD
As you can see the mascara didn't clump at all! :D I did three coats too!

Overall, I loooove their products.
Cheap and cruelty free!
Found at Dollar Stores as far as I know for my area, and those that have Freds stores!

Julep Debra & Simone; Glitter Gradients!

Okay, long busy days I'm gunna sneak this in while Abegael is good in her crib! :D

I did this about a week ago and they just started chipping yesterday, even after giving Abegael a warm bath every night and all the squirmy diaper changes!

In the picture below I used Debra (the gray ish tan) and Simone (the light purple) from my Classic with a Twist March Julep Box. Yay for my dad having money around that time!

Excuse the little polish messes. I tried something new. While still wet, like dry ish but still smudge-able I used Revlon's Liquid Quick Dry, after a little I used L`Oreal's top of the line clear top coat. :)

After a few days I decided on trying a glitter gradient, from thumb to pinky I used;
Bling It On by China Glaze
Fantasy by Sinful Colors
Lunairetic by Rainbow Honey
Come Closer by Pure Ice
Mermaid Lagoon by Funky Fingers  


The best close up I can get. Still getting used to camera!


Close up of my thumb! :D

For the glitters I did a thin later a tad away from my cuticles, another layer a bit further away, then dab'd a litttle at the tips. C:

First time trying. All looked good but my pinky! Practice practice!
