2015 New Years Resolution!

Happy New Year!  I hope that 2015 is your best year yet!  :)


My New Year's resolution is to blog again!  I am hoping that this will happen in a more timely fashion than it has!  :)  I have to get my computer back in blogging order and get it blogging!  :)


See you soon!

A break....

Hey all!  I am taking a break from blogging right now.  (In case you didn't notice, lol)  I have started working again part time and I am just having a moment trying to get back into the working field, being the mom to two very active boys and keep house!  :)

Hope to get back sometime soon-ish!  :)

Build A Bear and Smiley360!

Thanks to Smiley360 we were chosen for a Build A Bear mission!  :)  What kid doesn't love Build A Bear?  And what MOM doesn't love watching her kid have fun!?!?  :)

Eli had a choice between a Super Hero bear, a My Little Pony and a Princess Palace Pets.  He chose the Capitan America Bear.  :)

 

 

After choosing his bear, Eli took his bear to get stuffed!

 

 

 

Then Eli had to choose a special heart for his Capitan America.  He got to make a wish and kiss it before putting it in!

 

Then Capitan America was off to a bath and brush to make sure he was EXTRA fluffy!





Then Eli got to make a personalized birth certificate OFFICIALLY naming Capitan America and making Eli his official owner!

Eli had a great time!  :)  BUT, we didn't leave without a bear for Jack too!  ;)  Jack's bear is named Patch.  :)

SO MUCH FUN was had by all!  I highly recommend a trip to Build A Bear for anyone who hasn't been there or who hasn't been there in awhile.  It is super fun!  :)

Thanks Smiley360 for the chance to do this FOR FREE! 

Jamberry review and GIVEAWAY!

I was so blessed that Allison reached out and offered me a chance to review some Jamberry nail wrap's and host a giveaway! :)

Jamberry has great nail wraps and other nail products! They are also now offering a month subscription box called StyleBox! 

StyleBox launched July 1st and will be available for July and August. After this open sign up period each consultant only has 4 invitations per month, so it might be more difficult to get a subscription then. You will receive a minimum of $30 worth of Jamberry Nail Products, a nail file, an Orange Stick, and a monthly style guide. Each StyleBox by Jamberry will have one catalog item and one exclusive item that is only available in that month’s box! When you subscribe, you take a quiz to find your signature style, and choose a plan that works for you. You can change your ‘signature style’ whenever you want, but at least 5 days prior to the coming month to ensure the change is saved.

3 Months – $75 USD billed up front  (equals out to $25/month)

6 Months - $140 USD billed up front  (equals out to $23.34/month)

12 Months - $275 USD billed up front  (equals out to $22.19/month)

 

 

 

You can also buy the nail wraps individually.  :)  When you do this, if you buy 3 wraps you get the 4th free!  Awesome!  I love the chance to get a bonus item when I buy!  :)

 

 

Now on to my review! 

 

I was able to get a set of Jam's to try out!  I chose the Orchid Polka set!  They are BEAUTIFUL!  Even better in person!

 

 

 

They were really easy to put on!  Here is all the items that I needed....

 



 

 

You choose the nail sticker that fits your nail, heat it for a few seconds (I usually do about 10 seconds) and place it on your nail.  I smooth it over with another finger or with the wooden stick.

 

 

 Then I file it down with the nail file (the courser side is better) and clip off any access with the nail clippers!  Then I usually run my finger under the hair dryer again for a few seconds and make sure it's really smooth.  :)  Then you repeat that 9 more times!  :)

 

Then your fingers look like this!

 

 

So so so so CUTE!  It was pretty fast (about 25 minutes, but I am an amateur) and really simple!  :)  The designs that you get to choose from are SO MUCH FUN!  There is no way that I could ever do any of them without these Jam's!  :)

 

Now comes the good stuff!  Let's get to the GIVEAWAY!  Allison has given me the opportunity to give one of my lucky readers a $30.00 Gift Certificate to Jamberry!  :)

#1 Rated Hot Yoga Towel from Shandali Review

I was chosen to review a wonderful Hot Yoga Towel from Shandali!  And man!  It is pretty awesome!

First it is HUGE!  I loved that it was so large!  I am 5'4" and I could easily do yoga comfortably on this mat!

Second, it is super absorbent!  Perfect for when you are sweating during that hot yoga work out!

I also loved that to clean all you have to do is stick it in the washing machine!  No fuss, no muss! 

There is a pink option that I totally would have gotten had I been paying attention!  ;)

My kids think this towel is pretty awesome too!

Eli loves to play "exercise" so this is right up his ally!

I can't wait to get busy doing some yoga on this towel!  :)

Melting Into You (Due South Book 2)

I got the chance to read and review Melting Into You book 2 from the Due South series written by Tracey Alvarez. 

I (once again) will not include spoilers as I can't stand when I find out what happens before I read the book!  But I will tell you that this is a GREAT, fast romantic read!  The characters are dynamic and you can't help but fall in love with Zoe and Jade.  Those little girls make the story even better.  Watching Kezia and Ben fall in love is a rollercoaster of emotions.  Anger, sadness, hope, love, seduction...  You will experience it all!  This was such a fast read, I ended up reading the whole thing in a day (which you know is a feat because I have two little humans running around!). 

Over all, if you are looking for a good romantic read, this would be a great series to get into!  :)
