February Birchbox

Makeup Mail Call! Today it is all about my February Birchbox. This month, I chose the box curated by Rent the Runway. I am not disappointed I chose that box, it is amazing! This box was full of items I will use immediately, and are perfect for these cold months. Here is what was in my box!

Derma E| Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A Glycolic Scrub: This scrub will be great to use every week to brighten my skin and exfoliate. This will also make my pores clean, and that is always a good thing!

Fekkai|Blowout Hair Refresher Dry Shampoo: Dry shampoo is my best friend. I like trying different brands of dry shampoos to see how they work on my hair. I can't wait to try this higher end shampoo! Plus, this sample is a great size, and will be perfect for travel!

Not Soap, Radio|The Stuff that Cupid dips his arrows in Body Wash: First of all, the color of this body wash is beautiful. It is a deep berry color, and the smell! Oh, the smell is divine! There is a perfect mix of blackberries and vanilla. It is sweet, but not sickening sweet.

Sumita|Color Contrast Eyeliner: The color I received is a beautiful cobalt blue color. It will be perfect for Duke games, 4th of July, anything with a blue accent. Sumita is one of my favorite eyeliner brands, because they do not budge!

the Balm|Read My Lips lip gloss: This gloss is a pinky coral shade, and is very glossy. You can wear this on your own, or over top another color.

Birchbox also included a $30 off coupon for Rent the Runway on orders of $75 or more. How great is that?

Do you see now why I thought this box was incredible? What did you get in your Birchbox this month? I'd love to hear about it! Leave me a comment and let me know!

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...

*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...

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...
