Bathroom Re-vamping : )

So I completely re did my bathroom by accident. I never had an intention to redo my bathroom decor but.... I saw something at my local Wal-mart that just spoke to me and spoke to me I threw it in my cart a long with everything that matched and then some. I'm still excited and I did it 4 days ago.

 Now the people who know me know that I love shoes... Heels, Stilettos.. It's a proven fact that I can not live without them. Well this bath room curtain and full set I seen has leopard print, which I also love, and small glamour items and quotes like; Red carpet ready, Some like it hot, a pic of a dress, purse and purfume bottle and some jewelry.  Well out of no where I pick up this towel and I see a heel and it says I love stilettos and I was sold!!! There was no way I was leaving Wal-Mart with out this set.

Well if that doesn't say it all then I have no idea what does.. lol I started there then I just couldn't stop.. If this goes a little fast for you... well.. I still can not control my excitement and over a bathroom.. I'm terribly sorry.
 : )

Now that bath rug isn't an ordinary bath rug... It absorbs water and is made of memory foam.. The one most comfy thing I have stepped on out of the shower and just standing there doing my makeup.. RECOMMEND IT! It is also slick proof. I know of some older people who have these helps their feet or something. All I know it matches my bathroom : )

Now I naturally had to get some other matching items that they were offering in the bathroom set. Such as the tooth brush holder, some towels and some small accent colors that were in the decor to begin with and I chose the maroon to go with rather than the full animal print.

I am very happy that I went with the maroon accent and not the animal print because I then went to Family Dollar and found the perfect pictures to put on the walls. I found these by accident and they had my maroon in them but they also had like a glamor girl feel to them AND... there was leopard in the pictures as well... I just hit the jackpot.

I love how they show different parts of a bathroom. If I had a huge dream bathroom... This is exactly how it would be. It's cool how things just tie in like this and I'm happy I accidentally decided to re decorate. : )

So that is my fun lil frenzy I just had to share. I do not decorate spaces that often so this one was a big one for me and that fact that I actually like going into my own bathroom now lol Amazing on what some color and animal print can do for a girl : )

Ipad or Kindle Fire??

Okay so this is the question that can change everything.... okay maybe not really but I'm trying to out weight what is better. At first I knew I was going to get an ipad... and then when I saw the price I was not so excited for that, then people started talking about the kindle fire and then I started rethinking a little bit.

Well off the top of my head I can say that Ipads will come with a lot more free apps that you actually like and usable. I have an Iphone so I know the benefits of that. I have a lot of apps on my phone for business and it can be a pain using this small phone and with an Ipad I'm sure i could get  alot more done easier and faster. But I would have to put out another $30 a month for unlimited data... That sounds sorry for saying it but STUPID... if you already have an Iphone why can I not just add on to my already unlimited plan... I'm not too thrilled about that idea. And the fact that the cheapest one at $500 does not have 3g so you have to go with the more expensive ones.

The kindle fire, I like ready books and carrying the books could be a pain so having them digital in one space is really great. High lighted screen if I'm in a dark room and if you are like me I hate when paper backs get bent corners or hardbacks that take up too much space. And now look at the price $199 that is more my style. The Kindle Fire is beyond lighter that the Ipad and it is slightly smaller, but huge isn't always great so the size does not bother me. The kindle fire is also in color but remember the kindle is not. I prefer seeing things in color personally but I will say the book prices are sometimes outrageous. There have been some books that were more than the hardback cover of the book... I personally would rather save the dollars and go to a book store and buy the book so they should really rethink that idea and some of the apps are pricier and the free stuff.... not really worth being free.

Depending on your personal preference though if you want something large go for the Ipad, if you do not want to spend extra money for internet go with the Kindle Fire, if you are a huge Amazon fan and shop with them alot  go with the Kindle Fire you can easily download items straight form their site. If you download a lot of movies, music etc go with an Ipad they have various GB as the Kindle Fire only has 8GB.

I personally am still on the fence with both of them. If I go with my gut instinct and not put out that much money I will definitely get a Kindle Fire. But memory space is important to me so that makes me lean to an Ipad. A lot more research to be done and we will see what happens.

Kiss Nail Dress a MUST buy

I received some awesome product from a great company called Influesnter and Kiss. Influesnter has monthly VoxBoxes where people can receive free products to test and then review to our lovely followers, tweeters and likers : ) I was one of those lucky people and I want to talk about one of my favorite items that were in my February Love Voxbox.
I received these Nail Dress products from the company Kiss. They are fashion tips that replace nail polish and the time of waiting for them to dry. You can use these on your nails or on your toes with up to 18 different styles and some with 3d art and bling. I have used them on my actual nail and on acrylics and they have worked to my success. They last for up to 10 days, no top coat is needed on your part, Kiss Nail Dress they already applied that for you. Just clean your nails, make sure they are dry, find the size of nail for your fingers or toes : ) file down and go. The entire pack comes with 28 nail strips so you have plenty to have fun with either on your nail or over nail polish. It's a beautiful thing : ) You can find Kiss Nail Dress in major drugstores and mass retailers like Walgreen, Wal-Mart and CVS.

These were the leopard print Kiss Nail Dress nails that I received. Very cute and fashionable and entirely me.

You can see the slips of the nail strips that come in each pack.  Enough to do your nails and your toes. They also come with a nail file to file down the remains of the Nail Dress strips. Then it has a booklet inside that shoes on the many designs, how to apply and how you can mix and match with designs and nail polish on the back of the booklet. Very fun and easy anyone can do it.

End result : ) only took me 5 min or less; size, stick and file are the three steps you will need.

To try and qualify for a monthly VoxBox go to http://www.influenster.com

Happy reviewing.

Love VoxBox from Influenster REVIEW REVIEW

I hope you either watched or read my opening of my February Love VoxBox from Influenster. Well there were really no skin care items that when I get those I normally take a day or two to try out. I could pretty much use all the items I got in the Love VoxBox the very next morning and which I did : ) and I am very pleased with the items. I will honestly review each product in my pinon but just know I am no professional and you please try products for yourself and by all means comment and let me know what you think if you agree or disagree.

The Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion chocolates where delicious. Now I will say this once and one time only....I am not a huge fan of chocolate... But as I said before I have eaten Ghirardelli and love love love them. The taste is very silky, smooth and melts right in your mouth no need to chew. This new milk chocolate that they have has 32% cacao milk chocolate and it's all natural. The serving size is 3 pieces and it's onlly 200 calories for that...Yeah had to squeeze that in for those who care : ) But when I eat this I notice I never chew it I just let it melt in my mouth. May sound odd but I get the entire taste of the chocolate that way and I highly recommend this to big time chocolate lovers.

The Gillette Venus & Olay razor for one I was excited to try because I have always liked Venus products and each one they came out with I'm sure I was there to buy and try it... I should probably see how many I have lol anywho I was happy to try it only worry I had was the 5 blade... Maybe it's just me but the 5 blades just made me picture cuts, bleeding and not very silky sexy legs...I tried it, no shave cream needed the Olay moisture bars do wonders. Just save in the shower with the water hitter your legs and you can see and feel Olay going to work. Back to my 5 blade fear, I did not cut myself at all. Not one little scratch the only thing I got was smooth legs after drying off you can just feel the Olay moisture with the smooth from the Venus razor. I can say I have never felt my legs so smooth like this before and 12 hours later..My legs ARE NOT irritating, STILL smooth feels like I just got done shaving. I'M SOLD!!  That's an exciting shout lol I will be getting a refill blade. Another thing. I have eczema-excessive dry skin, so for those of you who do try this and see how this works for you. I love it. Also the head of the razor the entire thing and  the moisture strips are flexible to move with your curves : )

I am a workout, fitness person, i've always done sports and I'm trying this new calorie counting and watching my caffeine intake and this is where Stash herbal tea sampler comes into play. There are 9 teas in this sampler all caffeine free and .. 2 calories : ) I had a hard workout this morning so I figured I would try a tea after my workout. I pulled out the chamomile tea. I chose this one because my mom had said that it does calm your body after drinking so I figured what better time to try this one after I have a hard workout. I got a coffee mug, cold water-1cup- I personally place the tea bag in the water and put it in the microwave under the beverage setting which is normally about 1:30 after the timer goes off I let it sit and I bob the tea bag up and down. This makes a little bit more stronger but if you do not want it strong you can take the bag out whenever you like. Then I started sipping and the taste was not a bad taste at all. I prefer to drink tea straight. I do no add sugar or sweetener I feel it takes away from the natural point of the tea. The taste was refreshing and I did start to just sink down in my couch after letting it simmer. I definitely like the chamomile and I tried the lemon and ginger last night and the lemon will help with your throat if it's scratchy and it's a eye opener. It's wakens up your body.  I will be looking into buying a full box of these teas I am really enjoying them so far.

As I said from the tea I do not like to use sweeteners in my tea but most people used the Truvia with their Stash tea. I however did not. I used it in my coffee to see if I could sub. my sugar for the Truvia. Truvia is a 0 calorie sweetener or sugar substitute. You can use Truvia just about on any food or drink that you find yourself using sugar in or items you like to sweeten, teas, coffee, fruits etc. I use done packet in my coffee and I had the feeling it would have that "sweetener" after taste and it did but it was not as strong or as nasty as other competition sweeteners have that I know I do not prefer. I can see myself getting more use to this if I decide to start using Truvia. The after taste is there but not as bad and does not last as long. It would take some time getting use to using maybe 2 spoonfuls of sugar in my coffee down to one packet of Truvia but I think I may try for a week and see what happens. I'm not 100% for it but I will give it an honest try.

I love getting my nails done so I was super excited about the Nail Dress by Kiss. These are finger nail stickers to say the least. They are nail color that you stick straight on top of your nails. Make sure all polish is off of your nails and that your hands/nails are dry. There are enough nail dress stickers to do your nails twice and you can even put these on your toes. They com in many different designs, colors and even with rhinestones and you can mix and match the designs. Now back to the how to. You find you nail size then just stick. I personally like to cut down the excess then take the nail file that it comes with then file that down to the shape of my nail. I have used these about 2 months ago I had the black zebra print with the rhinestones I placed these right on my nails. The box says that they last for 10 days... I say they last longer, depending on what you do with your hands mine were on for weeks. I got the cheetah nail dress this time and I already had acrylic nails on so I decided to see if they work just as well on acrylics and so far so good. I would advise you find your fingernail size then get the next biggest. This just covers the nail completely without leaving the sides bare after you try and smooth it out. I have these filed down to the acrylic nail and they are sticking very well. I've washed my hands, taken a shower, I work with my hands in retail and have alway gotten asked who did my nails : ) At first it's fun to see peoples faces when I said I did them.. Then I told them they were the Kiss Nail dress stickers lol I love them and I've bought them before and will most likely buy them again.

So there was my review of each product from the February Love VoxBox. I will be doing a video as well because this is a big hit and I want both my bloggers and youtube followers to see these reviews. The youtube video will be up later tonight. Please check out and tell me what you think of these products and if you got this Love VoxBox what was your favorite?

Influenster Love VoxBox is now in : )

This is what I have been waiting for. My items from Influenster are in. I did a small blog on Influenster before but I will go into more detail here and show you what I recieved. Influenster is a website, well company really that works with other companies and they offer these monthly themed boxes, they call voxboxes, filled with sample and full size items. You got to http://www.influenster.com and you make a profile. Here you unlock badges that will get you closer to getting the next monthly voxbox. The badges are unlocked by questions that surround around your lifestyle. Each month they pick so many people to qualify for a box and you have a time limit to okay that you will take the invite and they give out final notices to who will be getting one. So you have to stay up on the site and check out emails. After you get your boxes you review, post, record, talk, tag, pin... It's all in the name. You influence people to try the products you got and even influence them to sign up with Influenster. It's fun and it's great to see what other people thing of the same products. So... Lets get to the fun part shall we
: )
Here is my box and how it came all packaged up.

In each box you will get this Influenster card. It has all of the products in them and their approximate pricing. It gives a little background on the product as well. Very handy : )

These are Kiss Nail Dress nail art that is like stickers for your fingers; and even your toes. When I say stickers they really are stickers. I have used these a couple months ago and you just find your nail size of the many they have in the packet press firmly on your nails and file down what is hanging over and you are done. I had mine on for weeks. I did the dishes, showers, I work with my hands and everyone always said, " Who does your nails??" I told them they were just the fashion stickers and they always had to have a closer look and couldnt believe it. They come in various colors, some with 3d rhinestones it's amazing. I have issues keeping polish on my nails so these are PERFECT!! They last longer than actual polish. Price is $6.99

I know many have seen the Truvia commercials. This is the natural sweetener or sugar substitute. What makes it a great sub is that it has no calories. So for my fellow calorie counters this might be a good sub for you. This specific sample size has 8 packets in them with a 75 cent off coupon. The price for a 40ct is $3.99. I did just use a packet in my coffee. You can add to coffee, any fruit or pretty much anything you see yourself adding sugar to. I was not a fan of the slight after taste I have noticed just about every sweetener has but it was not as bad as the other brands I have tried so I may just try it out for a week and see if I become a real Truvia fan.

This just might be every girls favorite of the items : ) Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion Bar is $2.99. I am very familiar with there chocolate, I am a huge fan of the caramel filled. This one taste very smooth and milky... hence the name. It's soft and fluffy lol It's really the best way I can describe it, it goes down smooth and just melts on your tongue if you just leave it there. Full size breakable bars with a lovely coupon I will be using.

I never thought I would be so excited about a razor but with this one I am. This is the Gillette Venus & Olay razor. These two amazing brands are teaming up and have made a 5 blade razor with Olay moisture bars. This will help lock in moisture and keep skin feeling very soft. This will be so great for me because I have eczema which is just excessive dry skin and I am always trying to keep as much moisture in as possible. I definitely use Venus products and I love Olay so I am excited to use this one and see how well it works. The head of the razor is so flexible it will easily curve with your body. Check out my video to see how I show that it bends. http://www.youtube.com/model4yourlife Seeing it will be a lot more convincing : ) You can get this new product between $8.99-$10.99

Another kick for my calorie, health, fit friends : ) This is Stash Tea Herbal tea sampler. These are all natural and my favorite part, caffeine free teas made from 100% natural ingredients. The sampler comes with 9 different flavors of 2 packets each of tea. I tried the Lemon Ginger and loved it. It was nice and warm, went down smooth and it really awakend me actually. I am a lemon juice, lemon eater and so I was sold on that one. I am sure I will like the Acai Berry and I've heard that the Chamomile works wonders my mom said she loves it. These teas you can get for $3.50

So here we are. All of the items I got from Influenster that I am very happy to try and I hope I can talk to many of you who have gotten a Love VoxBox and those who have gone out to try these great items if not all of them I hope you at least try one.
