JingleVoxBox from Influenster. A Small Reveiw.

Late posting this but not too much.

I didn't get the box in time for Christmas but it's okay. I still got to enjoy the products and will continue to enjoy them. A lot of what I got I am still using. I will jump in and show and tell what I received. Remember, I received these products free from Influenster for testing review purposes and all opinions are my own. Thank you.

Lets get to it!

First, when I opened the box I saw a cute stuffed toy.

 It was Rapunzel from Tangled and from Hallmark. They are called Itty Bittys and are so cute!! My daughter loves the one I got and would have been really excited to find it in her stocking, had I gotten it in time. She was still stoked though, so win win!

Not a lot to review on this one for me. Great quality item for sure. Adorable! She wants more. I wish there was a closer Hallmark to me, but there isn't. We used to live in walking distance to one in Bend, if they had them there, I would have bought them all. You should go check them out for yourself. 

I will leave their info below, as well as all the products mentioned in this post.

Next, COOKIES lol

I got three packs of the most Delicious little snack cookies from Briscoff.

They tasted so good. Everyone loves them, I had to fight to keep one for testing and a picture or two.

Needless to say, we bought more... They are small and great for on the go snacks as well as a little treat after a long day. I love enjoying mine with a warm cup of tea and just relax. 

Definitely go check these out. They are not too sweet but they do have a taste. Not like most, where its like crackers or dry cookies. These are really good. We think so at least ♥

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

I already have a review on this one. That went up when I got the box. I was very impressed with it and wrote a review early but still love the product and still use it. I will link that as well as where to find it.

KISS Lash Adhesive and Lashes 

The glue I got, I really like. It lasts awhile for me, but I'm at home or running errands. I have not worn them out to a party or for a long night, if you buy them and do, I would love to know how well they last. The glue is Latex free, Formaldehyde free and with Aloe. It dries clear. I really do love this lash glue. It works for me!

The lashes I got are a bit extreme for me though. I still love them but I reserve them for special occasions or a party. I wear glasses and big lashes bother me sometimes because they can touch my lens and it feels weird to me. The ones I got are Posh. They are a bit thicker than my normal ones and longer. Glamorous is the word I'm looking for lol

They aren't 'heavy' feeling to me but like I said I haven't really worn them that much for a very long time. I have been looking at other to purchase, namely Chic or Ritz! 

They look a little more natural for me.

Ice nail polish in French Kiss

This is such a beautiful blue polish! Its opaque in two thin coats. A very smooth creme. I thinks its going to be perfect for my 4th of July nails. It's just the right shade. Love the formula. Cannot say enough good things about this polish. It's that good. And the price is amazing. The only downfall, I have not been able to find it in a store near me and everywhere I look online doesn't have it... :/ 

I don't know if I got the wrong name printed on it or what?! I will keep looking though.

NYC City Proof 24hr Waterproof eyeliner pencil

 In the shade 931 Black.

SUPER creamy and easy to apply. I use it in my water line and love it. I can never get a good tight line because my eyes water too much and it smears and eventually fades from top and bottom lash lines. But this really did stay put and last for hours! Not 24, I wiped it off but it was difficult to remove as well. I will be buying more of this! The price is amazing and the only drugstore liner that has worked for me. SO HAPPY I got this. It is now a staple of mine ♥

And last but not least...

Ore-Ida Tator Tots

I got a coupon for a bag of them. I already liked and ate these before, so nothing new. They are still really good and now they have a ton of recipes to try with them! Not too expensive, we don't eat a lot of tots around here. There is some cheaper and just as good tots to buy. I don't get over excited about these but food is food for us. Yes, I love to cook 'gormat' and try new things but I also love tot casserole and make it all the time. Not being snobbish here... We don't always have the money or room for a big bag of tots in the freezer... Thank you. We all do enjoy these and buy them from time to time. The recipes sound amazing and we will be trying a few!

I know, I'm weird!!

Well here you go. Thanks for visiting.

Not my finest :/

Right before I used Gel again!

Natural nails are good too

I wore my nails all natural for two months. Mostly out of laziness and I was running your of gel.

Seemed liked a good time to go natural and still paint them of course ♥

Here are some from August. I really should remember to post these...

4th of July 2015 / 4 Year Anniversary

This year was one of the best 4th of July we have had in a very long time!

We went out to our friends house and had a great day in the river and sun.

A mush needed break and weekend! We all had so much fun. Even though I burned so bad.

It's been 4 days and I can just now move with minimal pain in my shoulders and legs.

I am very fair and thought I had enough sunscreen on, apparently I didn't and now I'm paying for that. Please always wear sunscreen!! ♥

Our daughter had a terrific time and she got to float the river in a inflatable cooler :)

Still makes me laugh thinking about it. She luckily did not burn but has a slight tan in her arms now.

I did end up doing my nails for the occasion. Several times until I ended up with very simple nails and I loved them. 

I will show them down below. 

I will also make a post on some summer nails I have done so far and I need to remember to blog more. Still... :/ What can I do?!?

I didn't end up taking a lot of pictures, we were just having fun for the weekend. I did take some and our friend took some. I don't know if I'll post any of those yet. We didn't watch the local fireworks show. It wasn't very good and didn't last long. I will be taking some pictures of the fair and the fireworks show this weekend! And the county fair and rodeo is also coming up, which we plan to go see. There isn't mush going on otherwise.

We're just staying cool in the heat. Going to the park and water for some fun and rest.

General summer activities ♫ ♪ ♥

For now, I think we are just enjoying our time together and the weather. It's been a strange feeling for me. Not doing anything but loving our own company and not bothering with people we don't want to be around. We're keeping drama out of our lives and the people who bring it.

We are staying positive and moving forward. I like it.

I'll now be able to go back to working out more than my legs. I never really realized how important my shoulders were to my range of motion... 

I know, I'm weird. Anywho, that is all for now and I'll be back soon with some more nail art and possibly lots of pictures. I stopped posting those for a while, mainly due to lack of confidence and drive. But I don't give a hoot what people say about me or my photos. ♥

Goodbye for now

My first set. Loved them! The blue paint stained so bad..

And I did my Daughters too!!

Second set. I really liked them but the red would bleed so bad.

So I redid them and kept them white with glitter.

And my Cinderella nails (right hand) were left simple too.

Products on nails used are:

First Mani- Red, White and Blue Acrylic Paint

Stars are stamped with BM-H25 stamping plate from Bundle Monster

Link to the collection: http://www.bundlemonster.com/25pc-holiday-collection-manicure-nail-art-image-stamping-plates.html

White Polish: Pure Ice Super Star

Nail Vinyls: Bundle Monster Pack

Link to the Vinyls: http://www.bundlemonster.com/13pc-nail-vinyl-bundle-super-sized-collector-s-set.html

Third Mani- Same as above minus the red polish and vinyls.

The glitter topper I used: INM Northern Lights in Silver

Last Mani- Same red and blue from above and same glitter topper. 

I stamped the star burst with Sally Hansen White On and

Bundle Monster BM-H14 from the collection above.

My daghters nails were all done in acrylic paints and a top coat.

And yes, I know I need a fill. I'll do it soon!!

Valentines Day Nail Struggle

So for Valentines Day, I wanted to do something very cute and girly with my nails.

Even though we won't be going out, I wanted to do it for myself.

But then I had to come up with a cute but simple design...

It's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I did a couple simple ones and had my daughter help me on others. She loves picking out the colors. We also did her nails and eventually I did end up doing one I really liked.

I will list the the colors I used below all the pictures.

Here are some of my attempts at my own Valentines Day Nails:

(Late Post) Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate

Original Date: November 5th

I am super excited to receive my first bornprettystore.com stamping plate. These are their first ones from them that they actually made. I have purchased some them before but not their own brand.

I got the #2 design, which is different kinds of lace!

8 individual designs on one circle plate.

I like the designs and I want to try the other that they made as well.

I was a bit hesitant to try them cause I didn't know how well they would work and this was their first ones. So you never know but was very pleasantly surprised!

They stamps are very nice looking and they are actually easy to pick up.

I used several different polishes and two stampers with both ends and two scrapers.

Images picked up well and stamped great on my nails. I stamped my nails, my husbands (lol), some fake nails and even glass.

Don't ask me why. I just did lol

The price is good. The plates are great. I want the rest of the collection :)

Here is the Born Pretty 02 Plate

For a discount use my code: NARYX31

Here is where you can get your own :)

And the one I got is changed a bit now but this is the new one:

P.s. Not sure if I need to write this... But I was not paid to write this. Just telling my opinion and thoughts. Thank you!

(Late Post) Halloween ♥

Original Date: October 31st

My daughter got to pick her own Costume this year.

She originally wanted Minnie Mouse cause she loves her more than anything lol

but they were out everywhere in her size. She's 2, almost 3, but even 2T is big on her and all we could find was newborn or 4T and bigger : /

It was a bummer and when I found one I wanted online, we thought we could find one in store. 

Not at the Halloween shop or even Walmart...

So we let her pick any costume in her size.

She chose a purple witch outfit.

I have to say, she did a great job at picking out her own costume.

She looked so adorable. I know I'm biased but I wasn't the only one saying it lol

We had a great night and she got a ton of candy that took a month to finish and that's with my hubby helping :)

And I did my nails lol It took a couple different tried to get what I wanted. As usual.

Here is some pictures:

(Late Post) My Birthday Nails

Original Date: October 26th

 I went through a lot of different designs for these. I started with just drawing and my own art and then I remembered I had some Birthday stamping plates from Bundle Monster! :)

I definitely wanted to use my new OPI polishes my Hubby got me for my birthday.

OPI Mod About You

 (It is my new favorite pink)

OPI Charged Up Cherry

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails No Hard Feelings

Kiss silver glitter striping polish.

I also used Snow Me White from SinfulColors.

I hand painted the cupcake on my ring finger and used some ordinary loose glitter for the frosting.

Not the best but I was happy with the results :)

LOVE, love my Bundle Monster stamping plates and my new OPI colors.

Hope you enjoy.

OH. Just in case, the stamper and scraper I used were the XL black stamper from Born Pretty Store!

P.s. Not my real nails. I used Gelish Foundation gel to make them longer and thicker.

I feel silly...

When I say silly, I mean stupid.
Here I am blogging every week and not seeing my posts and wondering why they are showing up in my posts feed but not on my blog...
SCHEDULED BLOGS!! I scheduled them all for November... No idea how or why!
I have done it before on some posts that I have an urge to write but don't want to bombard people with them, but always on purpose.
I will be paying very close attention to ALL of my posts now and their dates. I really feel so silly and a bit disappointed in myself. No more blogging from my phone until I can fully figure it out! That was where I was writing from for a long time cause we were always away from the house and I don't take my laptop everywhere we go, but I take my phone.
So... Anywho...
How goes the Boudoir Challenge?!? I have to say it is really hard for me to do this one. I may/may not post some of mine. I am a bigger gal and have issues lol
But I will try to break out some from my comfort bubble.

Next on my never posted blogs, I went to Ulta again for some much needed pink polish. Okay, maybe not needed but much wanted. And OPI had a buy 2, get 1 free going on... So I got 3.
The perfect light pink, Mod About You.
A dark kinda red/pink, Charged Up Cherry.
And, an almost sheer nude, Mimosas For Mr. & Mrs.
LOVE them all!!
OH!!  And for my Birthday, which is this Sunday, my hubby got me some Bundle Monster Plates!! I am so excited about them and will post some that I have tried already. I got the 2013 Holiday Collection, which has every Holiday and Event. I did some Breast Cancer Awareness nails and some Birthday nails so far. Next I will do some more Fall nails and Halloween ones too!
They have a lot of cute ones for Thanksgiving and Christmas, too.

Lets see...
I took a lot of picture of my daughter. I took a lot on my phone, especially lately, and was fiddling with some apps for editing and a movie editor that I really like. Will post those soon too.
For now, I will let you go and I will be back to posting every week, like normal.
Thanks!!!

Ulta and Walmart nail adventure

I went to Ulta to find an OPI polish from their Nordic Collection. I couldn't find it at Sally's and I didn't want to order it online. I am always afraid it will break lol
I found it. I didn't look at Ulta first cause when I did earlier this month, it wasn't there. It's a deep purple called,
Viking in a Vinter Vonderland.
It is now my all-time favorite!!!
I will post pictures below.
After that we went to Walmart for some Glue and a Minnie Mouse doll lol
I ended up getting two Sally Hansen Hard as Nails polishes for water marbling.
I got a light pink and purple. The pink is called Party Hard-y and the purple is No Hard Feelings.
I made an amazing swirl marble that I have not been able to replicate since :/
I am going to keep practicing and hope I somewhat get good at it. (The nail I show with the swirl also has a sugar spun I was playing with, just ignore that lol)

That was it for that adventure.  I have some new Julep I will share in my next post and I am also starting our Christmas cards and planning our daughters 3rd birthday party!!
Thanks for reading.

Un-Halloween Nail Art Contest on Instagram

An awesome Indie Polish maker named Kayla or known on Instagram as Creative Cuticles Nail Polish, she is having a fun contest that she named Un-Halloween.
There are 3 categories to enter into. Beginner, Intermediate, and Pro.
It runs from August 23rd to September 13th.

I know I am posting this kinda late but you still have time if you wish to enter.

Prizes?! Kayla makes some really amazing polishes. You really have to go check out her store and Instagram! Especially if your like me and obsessed with polish lol
So, of course, the winner will receive TWO amazing Un-Halloween special polishes.
One is named Vegan Zombie and the other is Acid Rainbow!
Both are amazing looking and I hope that if I don't win, I can buy them!!

What is Un-Halloween??
In her words,
My Un-Halloween is best describes as opposite day on Halloween!!! Anything that is normally a good, non-scary thing, is now your worst nightmare. AND the things that are normally terrifying, are now tame & harmless!!! Get it?!?! ;) So.. example.. butterflies are soft & sweet, BUT on Un-Halloween they are vicious & blood sucking (or something else horrible)!!!

So, I thought this was a really cute, fun and awesome chance to see what people could think up! It is! I did a simple Zombie/Killer Snowmen theme on my nails cause I am feeling Christmas-y a little early this year. I LOVE what the other nail enthusiasts have come up with! It's amazing to see them. They are ranging from killer Mickey Mouse to Sweet pumpkins and flowers on the Grim Reaper... It's endless lol
I loved one I saw of a surfing skeleton! It was adorable!

If your interested in entering this contest, it is on Instagram only and I will leave links below to her page and site.
