July Birchbox

The wonderful pink box made its way to my mailbox again! I love getting these little surprises in the mail! I tried to not peek this month, as I usually do! This month was a pretty great month, with a wide variety of products. Birchbox collaborated with Women's Health, and gave us a subscription to the magazine in this box! Especially ones that I will be using for the remaining summer months! Here is what was in my box!

Number 4 Hair care- Super Comb and Prep and Protect: This is a leave in conditioner that will repair your hair, and also offers UV protection. This would be great going to the beach to offer protection from the sun and waves! I can't wait to use this!

Balance Me-Wonder Eye Cream: This is said to reduce the appearance of fine lines, and wrinkles. I have noticed that I need to start using an eye cream. Sigh.

Real Chemistry-Luminous 3 Minute Peel: I have never tried a peel before, so I am definitely excited to try this!

100% Pure- Honey Cream Wash Gingerade: These sample packets would be good for traveling. I'm interested in the scent.

Coastal Scents Revealed 2 Palette: This sample got me the most excited! I love eyeshadow, and these colors are pretty neutral with shimmer. I am excited to use this and see what looks I can come up with!

What did you get in your Birchbox? I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a comment an

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...

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!
