January 2014 Birchbox

My Birchbox came, and I didn't even know it was coming! I didn't receive any tracking info for it, so I was definitely excited to see it in my mailbox! This month was a pretty good for Birchbox. Here's what was in my box!

100% Pure|Fruit Pigmented Mascara- This is supposed to have real fruit pigments in it, and I believe them! This smells so fruity and good! I can't wait to try this!

Fekkai|Brilliant Glossing Creme- This is supposed to be a frizz tamer, and give hair some shimmer. I can't see myself using this everyday, but I can see myself using this on second day hair to tame the frizz and add extra texture to my hair.

Harvey Prince|Journey- You know how much I LOVE Harvey Prince scents! This one is no different. It has Indian tuberose and Japanese orange flower in it.

Nail Rock|Glitter- This is SO exciting to me! This kit comes with a navy blue nail polish and a pot of glitter. You paint your nail, and then dip your nail in the pot of glitter. This will be a great accent nail! I can't wait to try it!

Birchbox Find- Burt's Bees Day Lotion- This is a slightly thick lotion, with a hint of clary sage. I haven't tried it yet, but I will let you know if I like it or not!

What did you get in your Birchbox this month? Leave me a comment and let me know! 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...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
