June Birchbox

Ah, that little pink box arrived in my mailbox this week. Hence, a Christmas like celebration. In today's digital age, getting actual mail is fun, especially when you know it is mail with makeup in it!

Birchbox has got a new look! Instead of the "box" emblem, they have gone with a diamond, and instead of pink on the box cover, they have chosen a white color. Also, the inside of the box there is a gorgeous chevron pattern! Here is my June Birchbox, and I really like it!

Birchbox + Color Club| Wanderlust Collection- I got this beautiful almost neon green color, and I just can't wait to put it on my nails. I received the shade London Calling. It is just the perfect shade for summer!

LAQUA & CO|Lil Lip Duo- You know I go gaga over a lip color! This is a beautiful shade of pink that screams summer! It goes on smoothly, and leaves a nice wash of color on your lips when it is gone.

ORIGINS| Clear Improvement Active charcoal mask to clear pores- I have never used a charcoal mask before, but I am all for clearing out my pores. This will be great to use on my T-zone.

Oscar de la Renta |Something Blue- This perfume smells really nice. It is not heavy, but noticeable. It is a very feminine scent.

ORIGINS| GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer- This says it has energy-boosting ginseng and coffee in it to revitalize skin. I am excited to try this and see how my skin feels after using this.

Overall, I was very pleased with this Birchbox. Getting a nail color and lipstick were definitely the highlight of this box! Keep it up!

What did you get it your Birchbox this month? Were you pleased?

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...
