May Birchbox

My May Birchbox is here! There are a few things I am excited to try out this month. *I haven't tried any of these products yet, but when I do I'll be sure to let you know what I liked and didn't like!*


Coola| Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer- I think in the summer you could always use an SPF that is specifically designed for you face. I'm anxious to see if it will break me out or if it will help hydrate my skin as well.

Sumita| Color Contrast Eyeliner-When I swatched this on my hand, IT DID NOT BUDGE! I am going to try using this for my waterline and see its staying power on there. I'm excited to use this on a hot summer day and put its staying power to the ultimate test.

Klorane| Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk- I haven't experimented with other dry shampoos a whole lot, so I'm hoping this will help me branch out! I love my Suave dry shampoo, so I am looking forward to seeing how this compares to that brand.

Marvis| Classic Mint Toothpaste- I think I'm going to like this. I like minty fresh breath so hopefully that fresh feeling lasts. However, I'm concerned that when I do try this I will develop a cold sore. (Any time I switch toothpaste, or even some lipsticks can break me out in a cold sore. We'll see.)

The Birchbox find this month was the Pilot Acroball Pure White pen. I'm a pen person so I can't wait to use it! From what I can tell so far, it writes really nice and smoothly! To me, it is the perfect check writing pen! (Am I the only one who still writes checks? Haha!)

What did you get in your Birchbox? What were you most excited to try this month? Please leave me a comment and let me know!

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 (we li

It's Been Awhile...

 Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet.  I will give you a little reintroduction of myself.  I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough.  I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here!  I&

YouTube-a-palooza

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!*  :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show!  You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6,  parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and  BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!"  He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar
