September Ipsy Bag

It is time for another "makeup mail call!" This time, I have goodies from Ipsy. Who doesn't love getting makeup in the mail?

This month, the theme was Street Style. They put some useful things in my bag this month that I can't wait to try!

Cailyn| Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss: If you have read this blog for any length of time, you know I go gaga over lip products. This gloss is a pretty cranberry color, and I absolutely CANNOT wait to wear it! I love a cranberry lip in the Fall/Winter seasons.

Nourish Organic| Moisturizing Cream Face Cleanser: I have not used a cream cleanser in ages, so I was excited to try this out. I tend to stay with gels, so I want to see how this cream one does, and how well it moisturizes my skin!

Mitchell and Peach| Luxury Hand Cream: Since I am getting over a cold, my hands are so dry from consistently washing them. I'm anxious to try this, out and see how it works for my dry hands!

Pacifica| Eyeliner: I have a color very similar to this, so this is going to go in my "give to a friend" basket.

Crown Brush| C476 Crease/Shadow Brush: This was one of the items I was very excited to see. I only use ELF brushes (love them!) but I think I will love this crease brush. The brush seems firm but still soft.

Overall, this month was pretty good! Both of my subscription services know that I love lip products, and they came through! As always, I will give reviews on the items once I have used them enough!

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!
