Montagne Jeunesse

One more again folks.  Also in my Holiday VoxBox from www.influenster.com was a face mask from Montagne Jeunesse (http://www.montagnejeunesse.com/).  The "flavor" was fruit smoothie and it smelled wonderful.  It left my face so soft and smooth.  I put it on and went and soaked in the tub for awhile (come to think of it that sounds good now).  The masks by Montagne Jeunesse are never tested on animals (Yay!)  and for those of you vegetarians out there these are vegetarian approved.  They also have no parabens which are chemicals used by cosmetic companies as preservatives (had to look that up).  I sure am loving me some influenster.  :)

NYC New York Color

OK, I know I just told you about an item from my Holiday VoxBox from http://www.influenster.com/ but I have to tell you about another one.  I have been looking for the perfect nude lipgloss.  Found!!!!  In my VoxBox, I received a complimentary lip gloss called NYC New York Color Liquid LipShine (http://www.newyorkcolor.com/).  The color I received was Nude York City.  Cute name!!!  I LOVE the color.  It is the perfect nude.  Not too pink nor too brown.  They offer 10 different shades from nudes to fuschias.  It's a steal at $2.49.  They use pure pigmenst which help to create a 3-d
 effect.  It also has Vitamin E which helps make your lips feel mosturized.  Hey, if I lick my lips does it count as my vitamin for the day?  No. . .boo!  :)  But this stuff is still great.  It's not sticky and it feels good on.  You should def try it. 

 

imPRESS Press-On Manicure

So, right before the holidays I received a Holiday Voxbox from  http://www.influenster.com/.  It was full of so many fun things.  But today I am going to tell you about the imPRESS nails I received.  They are awesome.  You have to go to their website http://www.impressmanicure.com/ and look at all the patterns they have and you can get a $1 coupon.  Who doesn't love coupons?!?!?
Basically, all you do with these nails is pick out your sizes, wipe your nail down with a pad that comes with the nails.  Then peel the paper off the back of the imPRESS nail and press onto your nail.  That's it.  No glue, no filing, no odor.  When you are a busy mom like me that is so important.  I don't have time to put fake nails on nor to paint my nails and wait for them to dry.  Also, when you take these off they do not damage your natural nail at all.  Yay!!!  These are perfect.  These are just a couple of pics from the website of patterns they offer.  So give them a try.  They are really worth it.  The pics below are from the imPRESS website.



Christmas ornaments!!!

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted.  I have been busy trying to make Christmas ornaments on the cheap.  Today I am going to tell you about the one I am proudest of. 

Can you guess what these are made of???  Have you bought a TV recently?  We bought a Vizio (love!!!) and there are clips at the bottom of the box to hold the sides of the box to the bottom.  These are them.  Wish I had remembered to take before and during pics but I didn't.  I will try to do better. 

All I did to these was paint them green and put some glitter on the edges.  Then I cut squares out of paint chips and made a glitter monogram and hot glued it inside.  That's it!!!  I had everything on hand so, for me, this was 4 free ornaments.  BTW, we bought the TV about a year and a half ago and my husband just let me get rid of the box.  He kept saying that if we moved we would want the box.  I convinced him we weren't moving anywhere anytime soon.  Turns out I was wrong.  He was just offered a job in Texas.  Guess we'll have to find some other way to protect the TV in the move.  :)

Hi!!!

Hey everyone!  I am new to the blogging world so bear with me.  I have found myself reading so many blogs.  Seriously, I think I have at least 100 saved in my favorites.  I have tried crafts and recipes from most if not all of them.  Some have been a success.  Some have been complete failures.  So this is going to be a record of both my successes and failures for the whole world (or whoever reads this) to see.  Most of my supplies will come from Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree.  Mainly because we are on a serious budget but also because the closest Hobby Lobby is an hour away.  Boo!!!  So, jump on the ride with me as we journey through blogland.  Let's have fun!!!
