We Got Ripped Off

I just wanted to warn others in my area about a scam artist posing as a car dealership. I can't post their name but I can tell you it sounds like Lavanders and they are located in Gainesville Georgia.

Versatility of White Eye Liner

Most people pass up a white or light colored eye liner because it's not your basic black or brown they are used to, but there are so many uses for a white liner that far outgo just lining the eyelids.

I Bought the Coastal Scents Mystery Box!

So at the urging of friends I bought the Coastal Scents Mystery Box to see if it was really worth the $19.95 price with $5.74 shipping and handling. Was it really worth it?

Review Update: Day 8

Well the Sally Hansen nail polish strip is starting to crack. There is also a little chipping along the cuticle edge as well. The 2 original nail polishes on the ring and little fingers have also started to chip off. The O.P.I. showing the most wear over the cheaper $1 polish.

Homemade Loaded Potato Soup Recipe

Here's one of my family's favorite dinners! Serve it in a nice hard crusted bread bowl for a yummy touch! This is not a low fat meal but I'm sure there can be a few changes to lower the fat if you like. We eat this as a delicious creamy bad weather pick me up! I hope you enjoy it too! This can also be made in the crock pot.

Review: Battle of the Nail Products

This is a review I was asked to do by a friend to show a full trial run of the products she sells, Jamberry Nail Wraps. I have also been asked how these things compare to other comparable items on the market and also how they compare to nail polish itself. I decided to also do a mini review while doing this comparing nail polishes on different ends of the cost scale. Here is my start. I will wear these until they reach the end of their use! I will post blogs as it happens.




Ipsy March 2014: Destination Beauty

After so many months being spoiled with jam packed bags from Ipsy. I only got four things this month, however, I'm not complaining!

Review: Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner

I recently tried out the Maybelline New York Line Stiletto liquid liner and I hate to say this product is something you can live without!



SSDD: Old Rant New Day!

I've complained about this in a previous post and I'll say it again. Why do people feel the need to go into stores and destroy things in the makeup aisle?

Jamberry Nail Wraps

Since I placed the link for Jamberry Nail Wraps I have had a few messages asking what they are. Well, honestly, I had never heard of them until my friend told me about them. I will be doing a full review and comparison soon with these. I will compare them to Sally Hansen's Nail stickers and regular nail polish wear. So what ARE they?

Stupid Food Allergies

When most people think of food allergies they think of the most common ones, eggs, peanuts/nuts, milk, but not many people think about other things. Like mine, I'm allergic to capsaicin. Most people don't even know what that is.

Review: Kristy Katura Photography

Recently we wanted to have family pictures made. Simple enough, unless you have an extra large family! One thing I found was that many photographers wouldn't even touch a large group that included young children. Another is that many of them will either try to rip you off by charging a ridiculous amount per person in the pictures or they will charge such a high amount for the sitting that it makes it pretty obvious they want to say no but don't want the bad publicity. Luckily for us Kristy Katura Photography was in our area and was willing to tackle the challenge!


New Section

If you have noticed that over there ---> I have added something new called "Things I Found Interesting". These are links to other webpages and blogs that I have enjoyed lately. If it is a business I will also post a review of them in a full blog post! Some of these businesses may be local to my area and some may not be! They are just either places that I have found exceptional services or just blogs that I have enjoyed reading lately!
Love,
Mom
