Get Ready With Me : Quick Everyday Makeup

When I started filming this video I fully expected to do an intro, but that didn't happen! Sometimes life just gets in the way! Today has been so busy that I literally had to throw on some clothes (other than just a tee shirt and shorts) and run out the door! I went non stop today and just ran out of time!

This is just a regular neutral everyday look that is super easy! I hope you like the video and if so visit me on youtube and make sure to "thumbs up", subscribe, and comment! I hope you are all having a fabulous week so far! Love and hugs :)

1) This Sara Happ Lip Scrub in Sparkling Pink Grapefruit is amazing! I love using to exfoliate my lips and it works great if you use it prior to wearing a vivid lipstick! You can pick this up at Belk, Macys, etc for about $25.

2) M.A.C. Flat out Fabulous is a vivid matte pink shade! I literally love this lipstick! You can pick this up anywhere M.A.C. is sold for $15.

3) Escada Cherry In The Air perfume smells so amazing! I can't tell you how many compliments I get on this scent! It smells sweet with a hint of a fruity smell. Love it! I picked up mine from Ulta for $70.

4) eos sweet mint balm is great! I use this every night as a lip moisturizer and love it! It conditions my lips great!

5) Clinique Stay Matte Oil Free Foundation is one of the best Matte foundations I've tried so far! As a bonus Clinique is known for being great for your skin! I'm super happy with this purchase! I picked this up from Belk for $24.

My Life Planner

I browsed through all the life planner options and was instantly attracted to the pink and gold Gold Edition Planner. I couldn't resist the look of it and all the great stuff it comes with! The gold edition planner includes :

(this was directly from the website)

- the option of a 12-month planner or a full 18-month planner (July 2013 - December 2014)
- a laminated, heavy duty 10mL cover for protection from daily wear and tear
- GOLD FOIL STAMPED planner cover, inside and out 
- inspirational quotes throughout
- LAMINATED tabs for extra durability
- perpetual calendar for birthdays and anniversaries
- TWO-page monthly spreads w/ reinforced coil-side binding
- goals and to-do lists for every week and month
- weekly spreads divided into morning, day & night
- meal/exercise/lists/etc. section for highlighted daily notes & activities
- GOLD FOIL STAMPED snap-in page holder that doubles as a ruler
- 20 pages of lined and designer blank pages for notes and sketches
- 2 pages to keep important numbers, contacts & addresses handy
- DOUBLE-sided "keep it together" folder to wrangle receipts, stamps, and other papers
- 240 colorful stickers to highlight birthdays, special events and reminders
- bound-in zip lock pocket with 2 GOLD clipiolas, 12 gift labels and "let's get together" cards
- sturdy GOLD plated aluminum coil that will not bend & allows your planner to lay flat
 metallic GOLD elastic band to help keep your planner closed! 
- add photo stickers, custom event stickers, matching notepads, a pen holder 
   or even a marker set to further customize your planner to be as YOU*nique as you are!

*Each cover is hand stamped as the foil is layed down as flat as possible.. this handmade book will have slight imperfections that are inherent to the gold stamping process.
*This planner measures 7.25" x 9.25" 
*This planner has 238 pages (including tabs) 
 
Price
 
Ok, there has been a lot of debate about prices for the planners. Here is my opinion:
The gold edition planners are $75, but they are worth every penny! These are personalized and customized just for you! You can walk in Staples, Office Max, Target, etc and easily walk away with planners ranging from $25-$50 and they aren't half the quality of these! These Erin Condren planners are very durable and look great! There is a lot of detail and care put into making them, so I think the price fits the quality of the product!
 
Regular Life Planners from the site start at $50 and those are also personalized and customized along with all the other products offered on the site.
 
Will I Purchase Another
 
Absolutely! I will definitely continue to purchase my planners from Erin Condren! In addition to being personalized and very stylish they are great keepsakes! If you are anything like me you keep things that are important to you! With all the great personalization's and extras this is like a journal of your life. I plan to keep mine and of course order more for the future!

I've been working on getting things situated with the new layout. I keep changing my mind lol! That happens sometimes! So for now I think I'm going to leave it alone! My plan was to clean things up a bit and change a few things around. I think I'm off to a good start!

In addition to the blog makeover I do have tons of posts and videos that are a work in progress! I've been really busy these past few days getting everything together! I will also have my favorites video and Erin Condren planner video and review up for you soon!

Garnier Fructis Fall Fight Strand Saver Review

I was browsing through the beauty and hair section at a local KMart a few weeks ago and stumbled across this Garnier Fructis Fall Fight Strand Saver. I ended up leaving without it, but totally regretted it! The next several trips to Target, the drugstore, and walmart were unsuccessful because I couldn't find this strand saver anywhere! I ended up browsing Ulta and there it was! I was super excited to find it, so of course I wasn't leaving without it! It has now been about two weeks, so I'm here to give you my review!

review

 

Product Info

This is Garnier Fructis Fall Fight Strand Saver Anti-Breakage Spray. It is a new product that says it can help with falling and breaking hair. The bottle states that it has "energizing caffine, fortifying biotin, and fruit vitamins. It also says it conditions and reinforces hair and scalp to prevent breakage. It also says that it is proven to perform.

I purchased mine at Ulta for $5.99.

Directions

The bottle stats to hold 6-8 inches from hair and spray evenly throughout damp or dry hair. After this you are to massage into your scalp for one minute and not rinse.

My Opinion

I have been using this daily for almost two weeks. I think the product smells nice. It isn't a strong overpowering smell, but it does have a light scent. It is somewhat a sweet or fruity smell. The packaging is very simple, but gives a good description of the product. Overall I think it works great as a detangler and gives hair a smooth finish. It does make hair softer and I can say that it does seem to be working. I have noticed less hair falling and less in my brush.

I have followed the directions on the bottle for every use. I can't say that it has made some huge difference, but again I can tell that there is less fall out. I am happy with the purchase and definitely think it's worth the $5.99. I would recommend that you try it yourself and would love to hear if your results vary from mine or if you notice a huge improvement.

The bottle does suggest that you use the Fall Fight spray with the recommended similar shampoo and conditioning products. I am currently using another brand for my shampoo and conditioner, so maybe combining the three would show better results. I plan to continue using this and I will keep you posted if the results change!
