Calvin Klein Reveal

Sunday, February 15, 2015




So far I am loving this sample of Calvin Klein's men's fragrance called Reveal! It is a salty, oriental fragrance with vibrant freshness wrapped in an addictive warm heart. I can tell this is possibly going to be one of my husband's new favorites!

I just hope he doesn't over do it, I seriously hate it when guys shower themselves in fragrances. Lol.

Discover Brookside

Saturday, January 10, 2015

Happy unboxing!

I was super excited to get a sample of Brookside's DARK CHOCOLATE Crunchy Clusters from Crowdtap! While the website doesn't imply that they are healthy snack, you do get the vibe from commercials and the picture on the bag. Delicious fruits covered in dark chocolate, who could resist!?


At first bite it's love! It's hard to put the bag down! I could eat the entire bag in one setting!!! Turn the bag over, glanced at ingredients and saw HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP AND PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL!!! Yeah, no thanks. Such a disappointment, sad to know that we've been fooled into thinking it's a healthy alternative to other chocolate snacks. I don't know what the ingredients of the other Brookside products have, but hopefully they aren't as bad as the clusters. :(


January- Burt's Bees, NYC cosmetics, and hoarding.

I randomly went into Rite Aid awhile back and saw they had a ton of stuff on clearance. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a ton of make up on clearance. The usual buy one get one free on certain brands. After carefully browsing I saw that a few items of Burt's bee was up to 75% percent off!!! If you know me, you know I am utterly obsessed with Burt's bees!  On different trips I got a Lip tint and Lip gloss for 1.89 each and a lip balm for .89!!!!! Which is bad ass because the lip gloss and tint are priced really high at Rite Aid, normally 7.29.

White nails are pretty snazzy

Also on a different trip I snagged eyeliners and nail polish from New York Color normally 99¢ for 33¢ each!! Which is awesome because I really needed white eyeliner! The taupe shade is okay, it doesn't really show up very well on my skin tone. I was trying to go for a nude eye look, and it just didn't work out to well. I'm not sure if it's because of the eye-shadow primer I use or not.


Apparently drug stores are always have their make-up on crazy discounted prices! I'm pretty bummed out that I am moving soon. Other wise I'd be stalking that store's life for more makeup deals. Maybe that's a good thing. I need to stop hoarding shit. I just cleaned out my pantry and realized I had a ton of Kcups and Tea. Good thing I did that, because I was seriously considering buying more Kcups, and those little shits are expensive. Don't know how I managed to accumulate that much. Lol

New Year, New goals.

Monday, January 5, 2015




The New Year is full of change. I'm sure you've seen a billion posts on social media about new resolutions; all from losing weight, stop smoking, and eating better.

So this is where my new years resolution comes in. I've actually already started on it towards the end of last year. I am focusing on my self in 2015. Within a matter of days I will be moving back to Texas to start school soon! I have always doubted myself and I've always settled for less. When working out, I always pushed myself to be the best and always told myself I was good enough to achieve my fitness goals. So why wasn't I applying this to my life? I realized that becoming a better person doesn't stat with losing weight, it starts with a positive attitude on life! If I can push myself to be a better person, I can pretty much do what ever I want. The first step is stepping out of your comfort zone!

With this said, I am changing my blog from being a weight loss blog to pretty much a lifestyle blog. I will include my workouts, but the main focus will be the ups and down of trying to become a better person.

Some might think that this isn't a pretty big deal. For me it is, I've suffered severe depression when my dad died, and I pretty much lost who I was. For many years I doubted myself and my ability to be successful. I've developed severe social anxiety and became a hermit.  There's really no excuse I can come up with now. The way out is through!

Step one- Self realization. The need to change.

Step two- Set goals.

Step three- Set goals into motion, step out out of comfort zone.

Step four- realistically accept the outcome. Failure is okay, learn from your mistakes and try again!

Step five - I'll let you know when I find out. Lol

:)

Reminder to self, I need to buy these!

Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Serum

Tuesday, December 30, 2014



The sample I received of  Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Serum from influenster was fairly decent. I have extremely sensitive skin and break out pretty easy. I am always hesitant to use new products when it comes to my face.

I was impressed with it at first, but then slowly started to break out. My face got all red and burned a little bit. The instructions tell you to use if twice a day, I would recommend that if you have sensitive skin like mines, that you use it once to every other day.

The results were awesome. My skin was noticeably clear and softer. I would recommend this to everyone. My only advice, other than use it less, it to wear a good SPF with it.  It's a little pricey, but it's not as expensive as products you see in sephora or influenster. Target.com tends to have it on sale, so keep your eyes peeled!

Kleenex!

Wednesday, December 24, 2014

I recently got two full size Kleenex samples from Crowdtap!

Happy unboxing!


The first sample is the Anti-viral tissues. First assumption is that the tissues would be moist or would have a strong sanitizer oder; in fact the issues are odorless and super soft!

I honestly believe that with this tissue and constant hand washing that you'll cut down on either catching a cold or your symptoms from getting worse!



The Anti-Viral Tissues have three soft layers, including a moisture-activated middle layer that kills 99.9% of cold and flu viruses within 15 minutes. Virucidal against Rhinoviruses Type 1A and 2; Influenza A and B; and Respiratory Syncytial Virus; in the tissue within 15 minutes.



The second sample is the Kleenex Tissues with Lotion!  It's perfect for delicate skin and cares for your sniffles and sneezes with the extra soothing softness. I honestly believe this will be perfect for allergy season! If you ever visted Georgia in the spring, you'll notice thick yellow dust on everything. Pine pollen is produced when the trees reproduce in the spring time. Symptoms of pine pollen allergies are much like "hay fever", and It hits me pretty badly each year!  I always get itchy eyes and a runny nose with sneezing sneezing and congestion.

With regular tissues, they tend to irritate my nose pretty bad with continual use. With the lotion tissues it really as bad. I do get some irritation, but its a lot more tolerable!

NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color:

The Expert Last Lipsticks is a moisturizing, high-pigmented, long-lasting lip color & available in 20 shades.  The lipstick is comfortable and longwearing, it stays on up to 6 hours. I got the lipstick complimentary from Influenster for testing in the Sugar Plum shade, which I am absolutely in love with! I love how soft and natural the shade looks.



You can pretty much find any NYC New York Color at any Target, Walmart, and drugstore! I have always been a fan of their eyeliners and nail polish!
