April Birchbox

My April Birchbox came in the mail, and as soon as I saw it I opened it! I tell you, it is like Christmas every single month when that box comes! The theme was Rainy Day, and they gave you a card with a suggestion to do on the next rainy day!

This month was a pretty great month, here is what is inside!

Color Club|Gala's Gems Collection Nail Polish: I received the color Aquamarine Azulino, and it is a beautiful blue with a pearlized finish. This is going to be a great color on my toes!

Gilchrist & Soames|Spa Therapy Body Wash: I have not used this yet, but I absolutely LOVE the scent. I think that this is what a tropical paradise would smell like, fresh clean, and earthy. I imagine that I will be whisked away to the Caribbean when I use this body wash in my shower.

Paula's Choice|RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator: This is said to hydrate and repair skin of blemish causing bacteria. I'm all for that! Plus it says it leaves skin matte premakeup. I'm loving what I am hearing! You know I'll do a review once I use this!

theBalm|How 'Bout Them Apples Lip and Cheek Tint: You all know I am a fan of theBalm, an
d this does not disappoint. The packaging is ridiculously cute. I mean who doesn't want to stare at a cute cowboy, and have all of the shades named after different things made with apples?! I received the color pie, and it is a mid-tone pink. I will use this both ways, on my lips and cheeks. When I use this on my cheeks, I will probably set it with a powder so it does not budge.

The Lifestyle Extra this month was from KIND snacks.  It was the Healthy Grains Bar, and I received the flavor Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt. Oh my gosh, this was SO GOOD! I love salty, and sweet things, and this fit the bill to a T.

Overall, I really loved this box! What did you get in your box this month? 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 (we li

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
