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 (w...

High Five for Friday

High Five for Friday

I've done it again. #badblogger I can't wait until school is out and I have free time to write, photograph, and post my blogs! As usual, I am linking up with Lauren ! Here are my thoughts about the week! 1. It's Friday, and for that I am very grateful! 2. I am getting my hair cut tomorrow! I'm keeping my length, but I might add a few extra layers to give me more volume! I can't wait! My hair has been especially knotty when I get out of the shower. 3. I ordered new contacts and glasses from Wal-Mart Vision Center. I've had really good luck with them! 4. Did any of you catch the premier of The Night Shift on Tuesday? I think this will be a good replacement for me until Chicago Fire comes back on! 5. I am very much looking forward to sleeping in! What did you love about the week? Leave me a comment and let me know! I'd love to hear from you!
