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...

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too! It is a perfect way to use up Summer vegetables, and enjoy a delicious meal! My comments are in italics!
