Dollar Tree find!!

Yesterday I went to Dollar Tree and guess what I found there, Goody spin pins!!! The exact same ones are at Walmart for $6, if your a fan of Spin Pins go check out your local Dollar Tree!!

Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Night Cream Normal/Dry

Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Night Cream Normal/Dry

I use this cream after I shower, right before bed. I have to say that this cream makes my skin feel super moist. I use Differin for acne and my face get dry easily. So, Boots No7 is a savior to my face. My tip is to use it at night and a little in the morning too. I know it says for night time, but it feels so good on the skin that I use it in the morning too ! haha. I really like the smell too. It's not too smelly and it is nice and subtle! 

I have noticed since using Boots No7 that my skin has a glow to it and it is very soft! I really love the way my face looks! No more dry skin from the cold weather. Has anyone else used this product? What do you think and do you have any tips?


I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

Goody spin Pins

MY favorite item. the Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin!! Reatil for $7.29. I really love these pins. I have been wanting to try them for a while now and I'm so glad I got the chance! They are so easy to use and very quick!I highly recommend these to everyone that has medium to long hair.
I went hiking all day yesterday and my hair stayed in a bun the whole time!

All you do is spin one in from the top and one in from the bottom!! You can wear it high or low and it stays all day long:)

Kiss® Ever PRO Lashes

I really tried to put these on a few different times, but I am just not good at it. Any tips anyone?? They are really pretty if I could ever get them on!! hELP

NYC Eyeshadow Custom Compact

I love these color and they are very blendable. I really like how it shows you where each color goes. That's very helpful!

I also love that this eyeshadow comes with some eye lid primer. I ave never used primer before and this is a really nice treat! Here are some photos of my smokey eye!

Cider LAne Bath & Body Works Candle

I got this candle in my Beauty BLogger voxbox and I really love the smell. Usually when I have a cold or are sick I drink hot apple cider to help me and this smells just like hot cider.

It burns for a long time and I love to put it in my kitchen and as soon as someone walks in they smell it and think I am making some fresh cider!
I love this fragrance! If you like drinking cider, you will love burning this candle! Plus the fall candles are half price at the bath & Body works stores now, so get it while you can!

Pole fitness

About a month ago I bought a stripper pole from eBay, and I really love it. I am really noticing that I am working muscles that I have never worked before and I can tell a difference in my upper body strength.

The pole I bought was $159.00. I wanted to get a professional quality pole, because some of the ones you can buy from retailers like Spencer's Gifts are cheaply made and fall down a lot. I did some research and read reviews for my pole and everyone loved it.

At first when I was thinking about getting a pole, I thought "Well those tricks looks like they would be easy to do!" Boy was I wrong!!!  It is a lot of hard work  doing any type of trick on a pole!! Right now my back, arms and wrists are pretty sore from doing some strength exercices on it yesterday.

Pole fitness is such a good workout and I encourage everyone who is thinking about trying to, to buy a pole or take a class. Most cities now offer classes for pole fitness. I just figured that it would be cheaper in the long run to just buy my own pole. Plus, me having a pole in my own house  gives me the opportunity to work on it even when I'm not in a class or something.

On the other hand, in classes, they teach you all the moves and transitions at a steady pace and can show you what you are doing wrong. I and using youtube and some other websites for help learning different tricks.

I will tell you that it is really fun and a lot of hard work, but you really work all the muscle groups when using a pole for fitness purposes.

I haven't really mastered just sitting on the pole yet. It really hurts your thighs to hold your whole body weight up on the pole and I  am too much in pain to try again.....right now! haha

I got some mighty grip gloves to use on my pole too!

Anyone else try pole fitness?? comment below

Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit:

I recently just tried these out and I have no idea what I am doing.. I tried to put them on, but i couldnt get the corners to stay and it was too far above my actual lashes, so it looked weird. Anyone have any tips when putting on false eye lashes??

They would have looked great if I could figure out how to put them on. The plastic tweezers did not help.

Get Fit for Hawaii update

Well, so far I have lost 3 pounds. I hope those are fat pounds! I have not been eating healthy the last few weeks!! I have been working out though almost every week day for at least and hour, but usually about an hour and a half. I do lots of different machines: seated leg press, eliptical, stair master thing, treadmill, hip abductor machine, tricep machine, and some other ones. I hope I get toned up before December 17!!!!!

I tried headband curling- idea from Pinterest

Works really well! All you do is wrap your hair around your headband. It has to be a stretchy one though. Go to sleep and when you wake up, viola! Cute Curls that last for days!!!! My hair is hard to curl and even harder to keep it for more than an hour, but this way works so well. I got this idea off of Pinterest.

Back to working out!

We've been moving the past week so I did not have time to work out . Now back to getting fit for Hawaii! Breakfast I ate two scrambled eggs and a plum and a slice of dry wheat toast. For a snack I am eating a banana and some nuts. For lunch I am planning on eating a spinach salad with a tiny amount of dressing and grilled chicken on top! Not sure about dinner yet? I worked out yesterday with the Insanity workout!!

I won more Barely There Bra's

I LOVE Barely There products! I have won a few times and I love the versatility of their Bandini bras. You can wear them strapless or with both straps or even one strap. If you haven't tried any of their products you should.

Day 2 of "Get fit for Hawaii"

Well, yesterday I worked out a total of 3 hours. Today I am pretty sore, but I thought I would try Insanity workout and I only did about 15 minutes of it because my legs are too sore. Later today I will finish the fit test!! Has anyone done the Insanity workout before? If so, I'd love to hear your results!

Day 1 of my "get fit for Hawaii"

We are going to Hawaii December 17-27! So I am going to try and tone up my body to be beach ready! This is day 1! Maybe if I track my progress on here I will stick to it and really work out everyday! Today I have my Zumba and toning class from 12-1:40! If anyone has any yummy healthy snack ideas or tips to getting toned please feel free to leave some comments!

This tote is super cute and I can't wait to try it when I get it in the mail. I love totes and I can use this tote all summer long!! It is by DiYA USA Corportation!!

Best birthday!

Spencer took me to eat at an amazing restaurant and the food was amazing! I had the filet and he had a chicken pasta dish that was really good too! We also had a watermelon salad and I was weird but tasty! Spencer bought me a cake from whole foods and it's the best cake I have ever eaten! It's called berry chantilly! Try it! The cake has a layer of berries in the middle as well as on the top and the icing is like cool whip but even better!

Birthday time!

I decided to take advantage of all the freebies you can get on your birthday: sephora insider birthday gift, and a free steak burger combo at Freddy's Frozen Custard!

Free Apron!

Floppy hat from wet seal

Got this cute hat for our floating trip this last weekend! Super cute and it was around $12! It has gold thread weaves in the straw for a pretty effect, especially in the sun! Do not get it wet!!! Mine got wet and got ruined:( it was my first straw floppy hat, I guess I'll know better next time:(

Barely There Beyond Bare Bandini Bra With Foam

Yesterday I received my two Barely There Bandini foam bras in the mail. I won these in a contest on Facebook. I tried them on and I love how comfortable they are.

The thing I love most about the Bandini foam bras is the foam is not a loose piece of lining that moves around when you wear it. This foam piece is attached and wont move on you and make your boobs looks weird. I also love how versatile it is. You could wear it strapless, one shoulder, or both shoulders up for a sports bra look. I have been looking for a good strapless bra and now I have two!!

They are very comfortable and I recommend them to anyone who wants a comfy bra that can be worn many different ways!!

Has anyone else tried this bra?

Look what I got in the mail

Happy early birthday to me from Marlboro!! A pair of sunglasses! I did not even have to send off for anything. Not too bad!

Great find at 1/2 of 1/2 off name brand clothing store

The other day I went to a store called 1/2 of 1/2 off brand name clothing store and I found a Susana Monaco halter top for only $6.99. I did not know how much it origiannly cost until I looked it up online on their website. I got such a good deal. This shirt sells for $110.00. Granted I did have to look through racks and racks of unorganized clothing, but looks like I found a great deal!!

Clairol Nice & Easy hair dye

Yesterday I was shopping at Target when I seen this twin pack of hair dye for $6.99. For some reason only two of the colors were $6.99 and the other colors were $11.99. So I just picked a cheap color. My hair was originally highlights that had grown out for about a year so, it was about time I dyed it. I think it looks really good and it is a medium golden brown I think. What is your go to hair color for summer?

Ross mini haul

I went to Ross today and I found this cute floral skirt and a plain black t-shirt . The shirt is Splash brand and was only $5.99! It's stretchy and so soft! The skirt is by Rhapsody and it's flow-y and feminine. These are perfect for summer!

June Myglam bag

Yesterday I got my myglam bag in the Mail and I love it! All the items in it are going to be put to use! The nyx lipstick is in iced honey and the color is really nice! I tried the felt tip eyeliner and needless to say it looked like a kid drew on my eyes! I haven't ever used a felt tip before, but I lined it with black eye shadow to fix the squiggly lines and it looked great! I haven't tried the other products yet!

Newspaper comic nails

About a year ago I tried newspaper nails! If you haven't ever heard of it or tried it, go look it up on YouTube! I tried it and I love doing them! There so easy and fun to do. Here are my nails I did with the comic section!

Jonathan finish control high shine flexible hairspray

I bought this from dermstore.com and it works really well. It smells nice and it holds my hair in place without looking wet and hard. It is 100 percent vegan. Kind of weird I guess but okay. In the website it says that " cucumber-rose essential water supplies intense nourishment while a sweet almond protein repairs and strengthens."
This hairspray is really expensive: $25.00 on sale right now. I bought mine in some sort of mystery beauty bag they had. I think I paid $30 and it came with a makeup case and 5 mystery beauty items. That product is now discontinued sadly:( I would not buy this at the price it is at unless it was in the same mystery beauty bag.

Simple cleansing facial wipes

I recently got this sample in the mail. This is the Simple sensitive skin experts cleansing facial wipes. I really like these wipes because they are great for removing makeup and cleansing the skin. This product is great for sensitive skin because it has no alcohol or perfumes in it! I like to put this in my backpack and use before and after I work out. I use before to take off any makeup or dirt and after to clean off any sweat and bacteria that could clog my pores. I looked at Walmart and the price is not too bad for these. I think it was around $3.00 .

So excited, I received my GoJane dresses!

A few days ago I ordered three dresses from the website Gojane. If you haven't ever heard of it, go look. They have the cutest clothes, shoes, and accessories! Anyways, I tried all of my dresses on and they fit perfectly! I bought the two tone dress in black and mint on sale for $13.95. The second dress I bought was the cowl back dress in navy blue for $34.00. The third was the lace bodycon dress in black for $20.70. They are super cute and sexy. They arrived on time and I can't wait to wear them out! I also received a free sample of TRESemme split remedy shampoo and conditioner and a sample of Garnier Fructis sleek and shine shampoo and conditioner! Go me!!!!

Wet n Wild nail polish

Recently I purchased some new nail polish from Wet n Wild. I used The Wonder Yellows and Silvivor. I like how well the colors stay on and they are super bright, which is fun. I'm not very good at painting my nails so my lines are not very straight. I just kind of Wing it when it comes to painting my nails! For some reason I always have little bubbles in the nail polish and I have no idea why, but it's okay. As long as they look descent!
This polish is pretty cheap and it works really good so u would recommend this brand! I'm a poor college student so if it's cheap and works, I will buy it!

Equate Cetaphil lotion and cleanser

I recently started using Differin for my acne on my face. So, my face was getting pretty dry. Not as dry as Proactive, but still dryer than normal. I wanted to try a gentle cleanser and lotion that would not irritate my face anymore that it already was. I read many posts online about Cetaphil, so I went to my local Walmart and saw how expensive they are! I saw the equate version and the price was much better. The cleanser is very gentle and easy to use. If you like a soap that suds up when you wash your face, this is not for you. This cleanser is almost like a lotion when you rub it on your face. After you rinse it off, your face feels so soft. It doesn't feel dry and tight like other face washes do.
The lotion is great as well. Very moisturizing and it leaves your skin feeling super soft. There is no scent so this is perfect for people with sensitive skin! Overall I give these products an A+ and I recommend them to everyone who is need of a gentle cleanser or lotion.

Free Bamboo and metal water bottle

I actually already received my free water bottle in the mail from L&M about two weeks ago. No, I do not smoke, but if you sign up for the site you get a free water bottle, which is really nice and handy if you work out or carry a water bottle around with you. I use it everyday and it looks like an expensive one. A free water bottle, who doesn't want that! The plus side is that there are no labels that say L&M on it.

I received my Kiss Nails 2nd place prize pack

About a week ago I entered into the Kiss my Lash Giveaway on Facebook and I won a prize pack that included Kiss fake lashes, Kiss lash glue, two $1.00 off coupons, and Kiss nail decals. I have not tried them yet , but I am excited to try something new. I have never put on fake eyelashes before so this should be pretty funny. Thank You Kiss Nails!!

ProActive Solutions

Let me start off by saying that I was initially excited about trying the system. The first few days of trying it my face felt fine. After three days of using the product my face began to look very red and my skin was so dry that I looked like i had scales on my chin! I tried using lotion and I even tried the green tea moisturizer that came with Proactive, but nothing helped. It's like my face just sucked it in and dried out immediately after putting it on. My face started to get very sore and painful. Every time I put on the toner after washing my face it stung really bad. I decided to call the Proactive telephone number and ask them what was wrong. When I told the Proactive Representative about my problem she immediately told me that this was not normal and I was probably allergic to the product. She was very nice and refunded my money to me within a few days. Everyone has different skin types, so this doesn't happen to everyone.
