YouTube Made Me Buy It

Image found here

Have you checked out the beauty community on YouTube? It is chock full of knowledge. Anytime I want to buy something, I almost always see if there are reviews on whatever I want to buy. Thanks to the YouTube beauty community, I have purchased several things that I wouldn't have even thought about buying had I not saw it on the internet. Here are a few of the YouTubers I watch, and what they have made me buy!

Emilynoel83: Emily makes me want to buy EVERYTHING! I have bought so much based on her recommendations! More often than not, I love them. She got me into the Revlon Lip Butters, new mascaras, honestly everything!!

LaFemme5278: Lindsay posted a great review of the Naked 2 palette that I was looking into buying. She compared it to the original Naked palette, and gave a great review. When all was said and done, I bought it and love it!

FancyThatWithCandice: She has got me started on the Maybelline Color Tattoos. She said it was a close dupe for the MAC paint pots, and I like spending $7 as compared to $18.

Leighannsays: Leighann was instrumental in me purchasing the Meet Matte Nude palette. She also has me wanting to purchase the whole Jordana Twist and Shine Balm Stain collection. (I won't buy it all!)

MissGlamorazzi: When my friend Sarah had told me about Birchbox, I went and looked up reviews online. I stumbled upon Ingrid's channel, and she did a Birchbox review every month. So I watched some of her videos, and I decided to go ahead and sign up!

Have you bought anything based on what you have watched beauty gurus on YouTube recommend? I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a comment!

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...

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...
