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!

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

Friday is here again! It is always a wonderful way to bring in the weekend. Here is what I loved this week. 1. I made another visit to Freedom Farms. I bought some apples, and bread. 2. I absolutely loved my Birchbox and Ipsy bags this month! The Ipsy review is coming tomorrow! 3. I am subbing today and I got to wear my jeans to school. I love days like that. 4.

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too! It is a perfect way to use up Summer vegetables, and enjoy a delicious meal! My comments are in italics!
