Back at It

Wow! I think this is the longest I've gone without posting! I know I always tell you guys how busy life has been, but the past seven months have been beyond that! I started another blog and that will tell you a lot about where my time has been and what has been going on in my life! You can check that out here!

I thought I would do my usual insta update and then tell you a little about the posts I have planned!
Here are a few shots from the past several months!





















Whew! There were many more pictures, but I didn't want to overwhelm you! So far we have worked like crazy, been to a few awards ceremonies, I got my hair colored and trimmed, more awards dinners, bible studies, planning, took care of my grandmother (who suffered from dementia), planned school for the kids, and unfortunately the last two pictures were from the flowers we had at my grandmothers funeral. I cannot explain how very much I miss her. She passed away two weeks ago (Thursday).

I hope everyone has enjoyed the past several months! The good news is I have several posts planned!
Some will include :
* Reviews
*Videos
*Planning
*Recipies
*Our Current DIY and Remodel situation
*Helpful tips
*and more!!

Love and Hugs to all of you! I have missed you!! Don't forget to follow me on social media to stay up to date and not miss anything!!

Bath and Body Works Stress Relief line Review

A little over a year ago I mentioned getting the Stress Relief body wash in a goody bag from Bath and Body. It took me forever to finally open it and test it out. Once I finally opened it and tried it I literally fell in love with the intoxicating and relaxing mixture of eucalyptus and spearmint! I have since gone through more bottles and purchased other items from the same line.

The idea of stress relief seemed good, but I really didn't think a scent was going to calm me that much. Honestly I was surprised. It definitely has a calming effect. Don't get me wrong, you aren't going to lather yourself in magical bubbles that wash away your cares! It does ease stress and make you relax. The combination of the eucalyptus and mint are amazing!

The stress relief line has a few different scents to chose from, but this was my favorite! Here are a few of the items I keep on hand!

Stress Relief body wash, lotion, hand sanitizer, and candle. Next on my purchase list is the pillow mist!

If you want a cheaper alternative to the candle I did pick one up from Walmart to try out. The quality (of course) wasn't quite as good as the Bath and Body brand, but I still think it is worth the $4.00 I spent! It is also a large jar candle, so you cant beat that!

I definitely recommend trying these out! Let me know what you think! Don't forget to stay posted for my Erin Condren review (which is very late) and a new product/company review with my husband! That means we will be back to youtube soon! As always lots of love and hugs!!

Coming Up | New Blog Addition

Wow! I can't believe it is already March! Is it just me or is time flying? I still haven't gotten my review of my latest Erin Condren life planner up and that was planned months ago! Please tell me I am not the only one who gets incredibly busy! Don't worry I will be getting that up soon and I also have a product and company review that will be up early next week! I'm looking forward to sharing that with you guys! These will be up on the blog and...youtube!!! Yes I will finally be getting back to youtube (gasp!!).

The past few months have been busy and trying. Between work and family I haven't had much time to even think. In addition to normal life I have decided to start a second blog called Seeking Wisdom, which will be up and running soon. I hope you will all check that out and follow me there as well! I definitely have a lot to share with those posts.

My goal will be to get at least 2-3 posts up a week on each blog. I don't know how easy that will be, but that is the plan! So stay tuned for these upcoming reviews, posts, and videos! I will also be explaining whats been going on over the past couple of months!

So don't forget to hop over to the other blog and follow me there too! As always love and hugs to you all!!

January means a fresh new year!

I am sad to say I didn't get much opportunity to blog last year. I have high hopes of changing that in 2015! We are making several changes here at home and with our career path. I am working towards several new goals and definitely have big plans that I look forward to sharing with you!

With that being said here was a wrap up of the end of my 2014 via Instagram! Don't forget to follow me there too!




































As always love and hugs!!

On My Christmas List

I usually don't make a Christmas list, but lately I haven't done much shopping for myself. I also tend to feel guilty for making "selfish" purchases...meaning ones I don't really need! This year I decided that a few things that have been on my shopping list would be great to transfer to my "Christmas List".  Here are a few of the items and a description below!

shopping by flairbybrandi featuring Muji

1) Muji large 2 drawer acrylic makeup storage
2) Muju 5 drawer acrylic makeup storage
3) acrylic lipstick organizer
4) Makeup Geek shadow
5) Storage cubes (I am getting the 9 cube and then adding a customized shoe storage at the bottom)
6) Anastasia dip bow
7) Anastasia contour kit
8) a Z palette (in leopard)

What is on your Christmas list? Beauty items, storage solutions, or other fun stuff? Let me know!

Love and hugs!
