August Birchbox

That little pink box arrived in my mailbox the other day! Christmas in August! Seriously, I love when my Birchbox comes, and I track that sucker until it is on my doorstep! (I'm not the only one who does this right?) Here is what I received in my August box!

KMS California| Freeshape Hot Flex Spray: I have heard a lot about KMS recently! This protects against breakage and is said to provide medium hold. I can't wait until I get my haircut and I can use this! Anything to protect my hair and give it extra hold while curling it is already a hit in my book! I guess we will wait and see!

OC8| Professional Mattifying Gel: You know I can get to be an oil slick! I am anxious to try this to see if it really does keep my face matte for 8 hours!

stila| Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick: As usual, Birchbox knows I love lipsticks! This is said to be a cult favorite, and this color Beso is absolutely gorgeous! I will say this, the swatch did not come off of my hand! I had to use makeup remover to get it off y'all! This isn't going anywhere on your lips! This went on glossy, but dried to an almost matte finish. I am already thinking about purchasing! (As if I need more lipstick!)

Whish| Exfoliating Body Wash: This bodywash smells great, and is said to exfoliate with sugar cane and bamboo powder!

Whish| Hair Inhibiting Deodorant Swipes: This is a new one to me! These are said to tackle odor and slow down hair growth. What will they think of next?

This box also came with a styling guide! They took several Ann Taylor pieces and put looks together for work, a night out, and a lunch with friends. It will help you plan some outfits!

This is what I got in my August Birchbox? What did you get? I'd love to hear from you, leave me a comment and let me know!

Did we like the products is the grass? I think it is a cool look for a change! 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
