Love With Food 

I just signed up for this subscription service. It looks amazing! 
The first box is free, just pay $2 shipping (that's a really good deal)

Use the link and check them out. Can't wait to get my first box. 
I love subscription boxes and was looking for a new (around $10-$20) and this is only $12 a month so that was perfect.

Random Sunday Post


I worked at an auto manufacturing plant for 6 long hard sweaty years, the money was GREAT but boy did it ever take a toll on my body. At the end of my journey I just couldn't do it anymore, my body said 'Enough' I had injured my back, shoulder (surgery), elbow, finger, and broken finger. 
Stick a fork in me I was done. I just up and quit... No smart thinking on my part. I did have a 8 year old to think about but I was thinking about my poor aching body. Hindsight, I would have stayed and took a leave. My body and mind needed a break. 

With all that said haha I went back to school majored in Medical Information Technology. Can't find a job to save my life (in my field) I do have a job, just not using my major. It really sucks! I'm 43 and still looking everyday for a job in my field, I guess hospitals or Dr's offices don't like me. Insert sad face. But seriously, I think I'm kinda sorta likable. I'm funny, sarcastic (but funny), sweet as sugar southern gal and just cute as a button (that parts a joke) See, I'm funny!

Not sure the goal of this post is but inquiring minds might have wanted to know all of the above chit chat. Maybe? Probably not haha See, humor AGAIN   I'm stopping

Mary Kay Clear Proof Acne System

The kit includes: Clarifying Cleansing Gel 4.5 oz, Blemish Control Toner 5 oz, Acne Treatment Gel 1 oz, and Oil-Free Moisturizer for acne-prone skin

I had originally signed up for this to let me daughter use it but adult acne hit home about the time it came in the mail. Hormones? Stress? Who knows, so thank goodness I had this to use!!!

My skin is brighter and more smooth than it has been in years. My favorite product is the toner. I'm usually not a fan of skincare scents but I love these! 

I would recommend anyone that has acne-prone skin to try this line out.

I received this kit free to review, as always the opinions are strictly my own. Thank you Influentster!  I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes

September and October Product Empties aka My Trash

First off I used a LOT of the samples I had set out to use, some went quick and some lasted the entire month...

Without further ado

Let's Begin
First picture first Red Cup of the season and I went big
Loved all of the Murad products I used.
Have already repurchased the Olay body wash and will again and again. Same as the Tree Hut scrub. I didn't repurchase the exact same shampoo. I had some really good coupons for Pantene (paid 0) so we are using Pantene now. Love love love the No. 7 cleansing water, it's not a necessary step in skincare but I love how it makes my skin feel and it smells divine. I'm almost finished with my second bottle and they last forever. 2 in 1 year is pretty good in my eyes. Now, I didn't use this everyday so I'm not sure how long it would have lasted had I used it everyday. But it still lasts awile

Tazo Chai Product Review

I received coupons from Smiley 360 for free Tazo Chai products to try out and review. Even though the products are free, the opinions are my own!

I had tried the Tazo Chai Latte in the past and was eager to try a new flavor and also get a box of my favorite. 

I got the Pumkin Spice and the regular Latte and Decaf Latte all in the concentrate 












I loved each of them! The regualar latte is my all time favorite, but the Pumpkin Spice has just a hint of pumpkin spice that makes it slightly different than the regular

Products I want to use up!

I subscribed to several "subscription boxes" for 2 or 3 years, Birchbox, Sample Society, and Ipsy. I finally had to give them all up but the Birchbox. Mostly because of the points/rewards system they offer.
My "to use" pile was becoming boxes of unused items. I would give the girls some items that I knew they would use. But, essentially getting 3 boxes of items every month, there was no way I could use up all the items.

Last month I started using some of the items and I can't believe I still have some of the sample size items with product in them. I used it almost everyday for a month.
This little project is going to take longer than I thought. So, I am definitely putting myself on a no buy month.

I have tons of drug store to high end makeup, skin care, body and hair products that I received just from the boxes.  

I do love the boxes it was just becoming too much for me to use up.

Lastly, I am going to sort this mess (I love it, though) and pick out items to use up by Christmas

The makeup items are in another box, I forgot to take a picture of that one.

No Buy February 

I chose February for obvious reasons! Only 28 days on no buying. 


Starting today 2/2/14 no to buying makeup! I need to use up what I have. Of course I can't use up all of my makeup in 1 month but no to buying any new! I have so many lipsticks and glosses that I have to use up some that I have and need to go through my 'stash' and downsize. 

I plan to snap some pictures of before and after pics of my stuff I have and what I've used up. I need to do this every month. Downsizing is good, organizing is better.
