IPSY Item Update.

Hello guys! I wanted to do an update on my Ipsy post. If you dont know what IPSY is you can read about it in my post here.

First, If you remember I had a broken blush that I contacted them about. Ipsy is going to send me another blush at no extra cost! Yay!!

I don't know about you, but when I have a good hair day, it just makes me feel beautiful! So I Love to try new hair products. I mentioned before that I used the Healthy Sexy hair on my dry hair.


I just tried the Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal and blow dried my hair. It seriously dried in like half the time. I just put it on my towel dried hair (about 5 minutes up in a towel) and it literally dried in five minutes of blow drying. It normally takes at least 10 min to dry my hair! It looks pretty too!


So if you have curly, thick, hair like mine, You should definitely give it a try!

Bonus Tip: Do you struggle to blow dry your hair? Do your arms get tired of holding the dryer and do you wish you had both hands free to style? I have my own little solution for that.

If you have a hand towel ring near-by like this:


Take your blow dryer and Put it through the hoop!


Instant holder and free hands!

Another update! My replacement blush came in today! That was fast!

Summer Is Coming!

We have about 9 weeks left of school for the kids and that means 9 weeks of work left for me! I work for the school so I can be out when the kids are out on holidays and such. So I am sitting here thinking of what we can do this summer while we are out.

There is always the local water park but since it is the only one in town it can get a bit pricey especially for the size. We could drive 2 hours to Myrtle Beach and the water park there is so much better! It's also cheaper! I mean it takes an hour to get to the closest water park here anyway. Plus I have never been to Myrtle waves and I think it would be a fun weekend trip!

I mean who wouldn't want to ride this?

Then there is the mountains. I would love to see some caves this summer or visit somewhere like Stone Mountain or Chimney Rock. Both of them have some beautiful views I would love to see!



Then there is Carowinds! Roller coasters and water park in one! That is a place to really waste a day away! I love roller coasters and the kids are finally tall enough to ride most of them! I bet if I asked them, this would be the place they would pick to go!


What it really boils down to is getting away and spending some time with the family and having fun! I would be just as happy on some trails while the kids learn about nature and seeing how beautiful this world is as I would be getting an adrenaline rush on roller coaster!

So tell me are there any places you would like to visit? Any place I should put on my list to consider? All in all I can't wait for summer to get here so we can enjoy some time together as a family.

IPSY Glam Bag.

So I don't know if you guys have heard about IPSY.com. If you haven't let me tell you about it now! For 10$ a month you receive a glam bag, a little zipper make-up pouch. When you sign up, they have you answer some questions so they can kind of put products in there that would work for you.

Now you are probably thinking "I bet everything is sample size, right?" NOPE! We will get to all that...

So let me tell you about my first glam bag. It was called Pretty in Pink. The package that came in the mail was a HOT pink padded envelope! I don't know if they all come like that, but it really stood out!


There are a couple of combinations of things you could possibly get. In my bag was "Two Cosmetics" Duo eye shadow:


This is a full size product. One side is a nice pink shimmer. It gives a little light touch of shine. Then the Matte finish goes on smooth and blends really well. I even tried them together and it gave a really fresh look. Great for Spring!

Then the "Sexy Hair" Soy renewal:


Sadly it is just a trial size, but wow! This stuff is AMAZING! First the smell is great! Apparently you can put it in damp hair and it will help your hair dry faster. I haven't tried that yet. I used it on my dry hair to tame frizz and give a little shine. It did what I wanted without making my hair feel weighed down or oily! I love this and since it comes with a coupon code, I will most definitely be buying the full size!

I also received "Sation" nail laquer:

This one was a full size bottle. I got the "love at first byte" color and I wasn't very impressed. It's a pinkish orange. I would have rather had the other option. Three out of four isn't bad. I will use it when I just want something unnoticeable on my nails.

Last but not least was the "Be A Bombshell" Blush:


This was a full size item as well. Mine was "Sweet Cheeks". I loved the color, but mine was broken :(. I guess they are trying to figure out something to do for the people who got theirs broken. I am still waiting to hear back on whether or not I will get a new one. I hope so because I really like this product!

Here is a picture of all my products:


Over all I am pleased with this months bag. I think for 10$ a month this is worth it. You get coupons and more than half the stuff in my bag was full size. So almost one product would be most of the ten dollars if you bought them separate! I already can't wait to get next months bag!

Hello!

Hello!


Welcome to my blog! If you have found me you have truly done an amazing thing. You see, I am pretty invisible in most aspects of my life. I am one of those people that sits back and watches people. Don't get me wrong, I interact! I just take a while to get to know people first! I wish I was one of those people who are outgoing and people fell in love with immediately. Although if you think about it, those people seem to have a lot of haters too. So maybe it wouldn't be such a great thing?

I started this blog to hopefully open up and let people in my little world. I am trying out some new things; like books club reads and consumer sampling.  I am part of BzzAgent and Ipsy. I am new to them both so I haven't had a chance to try anything yet. So we will see how that goes! 

Thanks for checking out my blog! I hope you will follow and of course leave me your blog link and I will follow you too!
