Week 1 Results (Oct 3,14)

Ok so I have only used my bike twice and do drink my pop when I go out but I'm more cautious of what I eat. I only had Starbucks once lol.
I'm not doing as well as I hoped but I'm getting there. Baby steps haha.
On a plus side I did lose a pound! So yay for that right?? My goal is 1.5 pounds a week so not too shabby :)
 I'm only measuring once a month so I'm not sure if anything there has changed, but I doubt it.
Fingers crossed I keep going down on that scale!

Citrus Lane Subscription Box

I ordered a Citrus Lane box for my youngest lol monster. They ask your kids name, gender and birthday. Then they will send a box that is geared toward that age/gender.

The box is $29/ month or you can choose 3 or 6 month plans which are a little bit cheaper.

This was for my daughter who is two and a half.

She received:

* Twinkles to Go from Cloud B (a lil pink octopus that lights up creating shapes on the wall and ceiling) : This went over over amazingly with her and her four year brother!

* Links 3D foam bath pieces from Boon: another loved item from her and her brother!

*Bandaid Tin from Ouchies Jr: bandaids and toddlers. Need I say more?

And then they sent me a sample of 

* Radish Dish Soap from Mrs. Meyers: I have not used this yet.

Final Verdict: very cool box, the kids loved everything and getting packages in the mail is always fun. I'm still unsure of its worth the $29 + shipping but it was cool to try out. We may come back!

Personal 5 Month Goal

SO, I think I'm gonna try this again. This whole "eat better, drink water, move my ass" thing.
I'm giving myself just a touch over 5 months to lose 30 pounds and order from my fav website. I have never ordered from them but I drool over this site on a regular basis.  If money permitted my entire wardrobe would be purchased here. ( CLICK HERE IF CURIOUS )
So the goal is place an order on March 1, 2015! :)

If you've been here a while you would know that's what this blog used to be. That I tried for nearly two years to lose weight. Tried various "helpers" etc, looked up everything online. Had all the tips/tricks, etc and NOTHING. That's why I pretty much gave up....but I'm a masochist I guess cuz I'm trying again. I do have some weight loss products left over so I'm gonna use those up and then I'm on my own.

New plan starts today and Phase 1 will last a month. That's using up my products. Wish me luck!! (I'll update this blog at the end of phase 1 with before/After pics and numbers, but will try to add daily food/exercise journals as much as possible)

Makeup Look of the Day

Makeup just makes you feel more ready for the day haha. I never used to wear makeup but now I'm such a fan. Yes, starting in my 30s is old but #shrug, better late than never right ;)

Swaag Box: August 2014

Ok, so I have been wanting a subscription box for a long time but there are TONS of options out there!! Holy moly! So while looking into them I came across this TOM box (or Swaag Box).

Basically this is a box you get once a month that is geared toward your feminine side. You choose the sanitary product (tampons/pads) and you know you'll get that! Then you also get a makeup item, a sweet treat and a jewelry item.

The cost is $16 + shipping= $22/month

They will send your box every 28 days to your mailbox!)

Click HERE to receive your first box for only $5!! This is the option I chose. Below you will see what I got in my try me box. I did cancel after receiving this just because I'm not totally 100% sold this is the box I want to subscribe too longer term.

BUT that being said, the more I think about it, the more I think this may be the company I call back and subscribe too lol. Even my oldest daughter liked this idea and she's insanely picky!!

*Always pads

*Candy: blowpop, jolly rancher and sweettarts

*Makeup: 2 Hard Candy eyeliners

*Jewlery: Silvertone bracelet designed like a belt

Please comment down below! Do you receive this box? Is this a pretty standard box to expect? Are you gonna to try it?

(For $5, why not right!? That's the cost of the pads/tampons anyways imo!)

New Lip Products! :)

Hi everyone!! So I just purchased a mini lot of various products and included was three random lip items. Now these are just a fast swipe across my mouth, no lip liners. Not to mention, no other face makeup on either. I just wanted to try them and of course share with y'all.

So, here they are! Thoughts? Please comment below and tell me what you think. I love reading what you have to say :)

Avon: Clearskin Black Mineral Mask Review

Hello! Sorry I haven't been back, school is back in session and things kinda got a bit crazy. My oldest is going back to public school but I'm homeschooling my son. Fun times! :)
Ok so Anyhoo on to my review!

Avon: Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask
I have used this twice now and I'm in love with it!! Here are a few pics for you.

Clearly I applied it a lil thick on my cheeks and it didn't dry fully haha.
See the lovely breakout on my chin? I think I'm gonna chalk that up to stress. I've been having loads on my mind lately and I never breakout but have been having those random chin demons. They bother me so I added acne stuff into my skincare routine lol. Honestly I think if I chill out, it'd help....but that's easier said than done.
Another note is while yes, I do have redness normally, for about twenty minutes or so after this mask my redness is more intense. However, it feels so soft and just refreshed!! I really love this mask! It goes on like a cool lotion and then dries all tight. If you smile or talk, it feels like cracks are forming on your face haha.
If you are interested in trying it, you could click HERE!!! ($6.99)
