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

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...

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!
