April Birchbox

My April Birchbox came! It is always like Christmas when I receive my boxes. Who knew a bright pink box could make your day brighter? For April, they collaborated with Women's Health magazine. Here's what I got this month! My thoughts are after the asterisk (*).


Joie| folle de joie eau de parfum- This has notes of mandarin, rose, and sandalwood. *I think I like this, it is not too floral. It would not be over powering to wear for daytime but could easily be worn in the evening.*

 LAFACE Laboratories| PUR Purifying Facial Wash- I hear this is good for acne prone skin. It is a toner and cleanser in one. *I am interested to try this. I am interested to see how well this lathers and how it cleanses my face.*

Mirenesse| Glossy Kiss Lipstick- This was launched exclusively for Birchbox! *You know I love a good lip color! This looks like it will definitely go on smoothly, and the color is perfect for summer! Pair this lip color with a neutral eye, and you got yourself a classic pin up look!* (Even tho this looks like it is full size, it is not.)

Nexxus| Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir- This serum reduces brittle ends and helps to combat 8 signs of aging hair. *You also know I am a hair girl, so I am pumped to try this! I think this would be good to use in the summer when chlorine can just strip everything out of your hair. I am definitely going to do a full review on this.*

Birchbox Find: Simple Revitalizing Eye Roller: Helps reduce puffiness! *Birchbox knows me so well. I was thinking that I need to use an eye roller because I have noticed some dark circles and puffiness around my eyes. Once I use this I am going to do a full review!*

Overall, I think this was a great box! There are some products that I am really excited to try, and see how well I like them.

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
