You all know how I have a reputation of being a picky person? Well- I do not know where this comes from, lol- Eh I know I am a picky eater according to some (hello allergies, religious preferences from when I was younger, and then everyone has things that they don't like!) I guess there are other things that I am picky about as well, but one thing in particular are scents, especially when it comes to body products! I think a lot of people are like that though- generally I won't even try anything new, and I don't like scents in lotions at all, even if it matches whatever body spray I am using! I had the chance though, to try out Hard Candy fragrances, and I can remember always seeing the ads for Hard Candy when I was younger and always wanting something of theirs but for some reason never had anything of theirs(Crazy right?) I figured they would be worth a try! I didn't even realize that they were exclusively sold at Walmart so it is is even more crazy that I haven't ended up with … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide 2017 Review: Taffy Town Salt Water Taffy #ad #sponsored #review #taffytown
As you may or may not have noticed, David and I are going on a trip to Myrtle Beach next month! I haven't been to the beach since like 1999 and David hasn't been since before that, so we are looking forward to it greatly of course- even more so since it will be our first trip to the beach together as well, awww! The very same day that I got confirmation of my hotel and had sat everything into motion I got an email about reviewing something that was so related it was so ironic: Taffy Town Salt Water Taffy! I was like you talk about meant to be right? I hadn't had salt water taffy for a long time. I know you can usually find it randomly at the stores around here but that has kind of always been one of those beach things for me but when I was browsing their site and saw all the awesome flavors I knew I wanted to work with them- and we can always get some taffy while we're away too if we want to, but I don't think we'll be needing any, because all together I received 5lbs of taffy … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide 2017 Review: VivaJennz Wine Purse & Glasses #ad #review #sponsored #thefunisundertheflap
Ya'll probably gather I am a fan of wine if you have poked around any on the blog, read any of my social media profiles or even over there on the side bar under my picture it says so :)I have wrote several wine reviews here on the site over the years (and other alcohol ones- but mostly wine ones) and even reviewed a couple of accessories over time. Goodness knows I love my wine fridge I got last year more than words can express! Another thing that I LOVE that kind of always has been one of my little "things" is purse. I think I have mentioned this before- I used to play a game with one of my uncles girlfriends called"pocketbooks" and I don't know what exactly it involved but I remember it by name! I also have always been known to rarely ever leave the house without a purse! I have tubs and tubs and even a few boxes and big tote bags full of purses- I used to change at least once a week when I used to go to school, but now I am lucky if I change them once a month because they aren't … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide 2017 Review: Batiste Dry Shampoo #ad #review #sponsored #Batiste
I guess being a girl with naturally curly hair, it seems my hair has just always been a big thing in my life. When I was a little girl I had hair so long, that for the longest time, that when it was wet I could actually sit on it! Of course, I have pretty well always fought with it as well- and I try to keep it straight as much as I can! I have a few other hair product reviews coming up so I won't get too much into that right now :) My biggest thing is has always been on keeping my hair straight- you can't really get it wet, obviously, because it will curl right back up (humidity is fun/rain/taking a shower all that good stuff!) I also tend to go at least several days at a time with it straightened that way I don't over abuse it (I did that at one point and almost burnt a big chunk of hair out actually- eek!)So in other words- I sometimes just don't feel like my hair is that fresh! Especially now that for some reason my hair likes to feel a little bit greesy/oily- which it never … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide 2017 Review: Butcher Box #ad #review #sponsored #butcherbox
There are affiliate links used in this post. If you purchase something after clicking the links I will receive an incentive of $25 in credit from the sponsor! the official gift guide post/page (or both- i have not decided yet) is not live just yet but this will be included there when it is here soon! I have been working on it, but I need to tweak it! You all probably know by now, if you have been reading the blog for any amount of time- that my favorite reviews generally tend to be those that involve food or kitchen goodies in some way! I don't consider myself to be a great cook or anything- I mean I do a good job, don't get me wrong,but when I get the chance to review anything related to the kitchen I get really excited! When I had the chance from Butcher Box to review a box of their premium grass fed meat, I could not say YES fast enough! My only problem was deciding which one of their boxes I wanted! Choices, Choices! Butcher Box is a subscription box for meat! … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide 2017 Review: DeskCycle #review #ad #sponsored #giftguide #deskcycle
Special Note: My actual gift guide post is not up just yet, but this will be featured there and linked back to this post when it goes live :) (it should be up this week sometime I hope- I kind of had it the way I wanted it but it needs tweaked a bit!) I admit that I do not do a great job with committing to try to exercise and get into some sort of shape- or at least enough to be considered healthy and maybe give myself more energy and whatnot, but I am always on the look out for things that I think might inspire me! David and I do have a fitness room here at the apartment place but they really don't have a whole lot going on in there! We tried the gym, but it is just extra money that we don't need to spend especially with having the fitness room, plus we couldn't really be consistent with it because of David's work schedule.Every now and again I get a whim and go walking around the apartment place with Marley, but with the heat here in the South we have heat pretty much right up … [Read more...]
