Birchbox Haul

I had some Birchbox points that were going to expire so I wanted to use them! I always have the hardest time figuring out what I want to use my points on. There is always numerous lists involved, and lots of number crunching. I like to get my money's worth. So after careful planning, here is what I got!

1. Meet Matt(e) Nude palette: This palette also came with a full size Put A Lid On It primer. The packaging from The Balm is just ridiculously cute! The shadows are huge, and will probably last me forever! As a general rule, I am just a huge fan of The Balm makeup.

2. Model Co Party Proof lipsticks: I got the Classics selection. The colors are red velvet, (a rich red), Peony, (a fun pink) and Disco Fever, (a bright coral). These are matte lipsticks, but are so creamy and velvety on your lips! (Did I, or did I not tell you I have been into mattes lately?)

3. Mox Botanicals lip butter in coconut almondine: The scent is great, and it is very moisturizing! I put it on at night, right before bed!

4. Sumita eyeliner in Jamun. This is a deep purple color. You know it stays put when I had the swatch on my hand the very next day! You can find my review on the Sumita eyeliner I got in my Birchbox here.

Gift with purchase: Tibi bag Is this bag not the cutest? It is a neon print Tibi bag, and the city-scape is New York City! It is a good size, and will definitely hold some full size products!

I had 70 points, and used a coupon code that they sent me to receive an extra discount. I only had to pay $4.25. Score!

I would expect a review on some of these products in the next few weeks.

Have you ever bought anything from Birchbox? I'd love to hear what you decided on! 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&

*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
