October Birchbox

After a long day subbing, nothing makes me happier than coming home to my Birchbox. My mood brightens instantly and I am anxious to tear open the box and see my goods! Here is what I got in my October Birchbox and my first thoughts.

Bain de Terre| Macadamia Oil Nourishing Conditioner- This has macadamia, and argan oils to make hair soft and shiny. I love trying new conditioners, especially when this one is so good for your hair.

Liz Earle| Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser- This is a new discovery to me. You gently exfoliate using the muslin cloth to polish your face.

Liz Earle|Muslin Cloths-This is the essential ingredient to the cleanser. I am excited to try this instead of a washcloth to cleanse my face.

Pop Beauty| Aqua lacquer-You know how I feel about lip products! Even though this looks like it is in tube form, there is a wand inside with a spatula silicone applicator. The color is sheer red, but not
over powering.

Chapstick|Hydration Lock- This promises to give 8 hour moisture. I can't wait to try this at bedtime and see how this works! Birchbox also said you can use this as a primer for your lips!

What did you receive in your October Birchbox? Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

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...

Simple Sugars Review

There is no doubt that this scenario has happened to you. You get some really expensive cream to put on your acne, rosacea, or eczema. You try it out, and find out you are allergic to it, or it makes your skin look horrible. Such was the case with Lani Lazzari. She has sensitive skin and has tried every commercial product on the market to help her eczema. Nothing worked, so she took matters in her own hands. She created Simple Sugars in December of 2005. If you're wondering where you might have heard Lani's name before, she appeared on ABC's Shark Tank! The scrubs are all natural and uses many different oils. There are no sulphates, artificial preservatives, parabens, colors, or scents. There are scrubs for your face, body, feet, and even some for the men in your life! You can find your perfect scrub on their website . I wish you could smell this! I bought some at a local retailer and I am impressed! I got the chocolate scent, and let me tell you, it smells AMAZING!...

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...
