I have written about my hair a TON over the years on my blog- whether it relates to reviews of hair goodies or just in a random post here and there. In case you don't know- I have naturally curly hair that I curse into being straight at every turn! My mom also happens to be a hair stylist- but when I was younger she did some really hideous stuff with my hair (I am sure most people can say this , but my mom took the cake! She still tries to do some funky stuff to it, but now that I am older I know what I want and the funkiest thing I am going to do probably involves hair color ( I have done some pink streaks in the past!) I also tend to go a little darker or brighter on regular colors than what my mom likes too :) But in general i'm sticking with the same ole same ole I have tried a TON of hair products over the years, and I am always looking for new lines to try! I am a fan of not only the common stuff you can buy on the shelf at the drug store or whatever to the more professional … [Read more...]
Review: Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty Cosmetics #review #sponsored #christiebrinkley
If you have read my blog at any point in time, for any length of time - or even if you are just passing through- I am sure you probably get a vibe from me that I am a full on girly-girl type of girl! I can remember always being this way when I was a little girl, even though I can also remember playing with my tonka dump truck (it was metal) but I can also remember my pretend make up sets and even those lip glosses from avon back in the day called kool kisses or something like that. I even wanted my hair in curlers - and I have naturally curly hair :) So when something girly-girl like hair goodies or make up come up for me to be able to review , it doesn't take very much arm pulling for me to be like sure send them right over! I recently got lucky and got in touch with Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty Cosmetics and I was really excited when they sent over a package of goodies for me to feature here on the blog! I was lucky enough to receive 6 different … [Read more...]
Review: RescueHer Kit #review #sponsored #rescueher
I haven't reviewed since Christmas Ya'll! Can you believe it? I was so wore out after doing the first part of my gift guide, all the sponsored myrtle beach posts, my mattress review and then the gift guide- that all happened in about a 3 month or so span so I guess a rest was appropriate! I just didn't plan to take so long to get back into things- but here I am and I hope I can keep up the spirit :) Sometimes I get something that is seemingly so simple that just really rocks my world, and that is the case with this review! I was lucky enough to find out about RescueHer and then when they offered to send me one I was beyond excited- even though due to our address situation I had it sent to my moms since it traveled via USPS but that wasn't a big deal- I just had to wait until my mom was coming over to get it -which I got lucky it came early one morning and she was coming over anyways :) The Rescueher kit is this super amazing concept - A kit with … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Star Shower Slide Show & Star Shower Window Wonderland #ad #sponsored #review
When we first moved into this apartment I had such high hopes with decorating it because it was so different from the other places that we have lived (well, considering that 2 of the 3 apartments we lived at were at the same place!) I was really super excited to have an actually patio and quickly ran out and got pink and green chairs for outside! I had hoped to actually put up pink lights out there but David wasn't going for it! I was pretty bummed, but he did let me put up Christmas lights that year so I was happy! However, I wanted lights for other times of the year, but Christmas lights were not really what I was going for and I didn't really know what else to do... then I became acquainted with the orignal star Shower! David picked me up one , and I was so excited to be able to have different colors of lights and different patterns and what not that I could use for different things. I have used them not only for christmas but even at one point I used the green ones when Kurt … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Ring Video Doorbell (Hammacher Schlemmer) #sponsored #ad #review
Sometimes I see something and I try for a good while to get it to review before I ever wind up with it, sometimes it isn't cut and dry and it isn't instant - but it seems like those are always the most exciting reviews that I get when they come to be a reality. Oh, and sometimes you have to find somewhere other than the actual brand to get the review from too! The latest item that I got to review was one of these "special" items and it was the Ring Video Doorbell that I got thanks to the wonderful folks at Hammacher Schlemmer. I worked with them last year on a review for my wine fridge which I really love, but I did end up gifting it to my parents a couple months ago! I would have kept it but I know that they would enjoy it and that it was going to a great home :) In case you don't know Hammacher Schlemmer has almost anything in the world that you can think of, and you can even get their catalog sent to you if you want. I always find so many unique things that I love when I … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: The BroBasket #review #sponsored #ad
This is a review of Alcohol so if you are not of legal age in your country of residence (21 in the USA) then please do not proceed reading this review- thanks! You all know that I love adult beverages, I don't make a big secret of it, and I generally do several alcohol related reviews every year! However, this year I just haven't really been in the mood to do them because most of the ones I generally end up writing are ones for wine, and I have to admit I am kind of not that big of a wine drinker anymore! Mostly because it gives me horrible heartburn and I always end up so hungover/horrible headaches when I drink it so I kind of switched back to beer and the "hard stuff". As far as reviewing beer goes, I would rather just buy it, and as far as "hard stuff" goes I don't really get the chance that often! I was also looking for something GUY related to put in this gift guide and I found out about bro baskets and well everything tied together! I have to say though , you don't … [Read more...]
