I don't want you to miss out on any of the goodies from any of the boxes, so even though it's several months old we are still going to rock it!  Tocca- Stella Tocca has some of my favorite scents and my favorite laundry booster, too!

Red, White and Blue... Paint Me American!!

Image
**May Contain Press Samples**  Happy 4th of July my fellow Americans!! I am so excited about this holiday as it's one of my favorites! The colors, the food, the fireworks, the fun! All of it is just so uplifting and everything I love in a holiday!  For my manicure, I went with something easy but very patriotic. I got these USA stamp plates a very long time ago and I only use them a couple time a year. They are no-named brand but I love them! They pick up so nicely and lay down even better.   Colors Used: Sally Hansen- Midnight Affair Sally Hansen- Rhapsody Red L.A. Girl- Celebrate Zoya- Aspen Happy Independence Day!!

Wasabi for Your Face? Check out What I Learned!

Image
**Product Review** I am so excited to share this new skincare routine with you! Derma MD Skincare approached me about trying out a couple products from their skincare line to see how they would help me with my self- identified skin issues. After a brief consultation, they set me up with a daytime and nighttime routine that would help me get rid of acne breakouts and uneven skin tone. I'm going to walk you through my routines that I have been using for the last 30 days and the products used and then I want to talk a little about Derma MD and what they have to offer.   My morning routine starts off with the Wasabi Cleaner . This cleanser is designed to remove surface oil, bacteria and anything else that is on your face from the night before without taking away your natural oils. It includes ingredients such as Wasabia Japonica Root Extract which has anti-baterial properties and Lactic Acid with helps with your cell reproduction.  Next is the Wasabi Refining Ton...

Zoya for the Kissers- Wanderlust 2017 Summer Collection

Image
**Press Sample** Ohhhh NEW lippies from Zoya !! Yes, I have 3 new colors- so new that I even had to wait quite a while for them to land on my doorstep. All pinks and all ready for summer!  First up is Kirby . She is a bright watermelon pink and is perfect for a relaxing summer look. Kirby is pretty sheer so you will have to give yourself some beautiful layers. Smooth and buttery, this is a great accessory to any fun, summer look.  Kitty is the pink shimmer from these three beauties. In the tube, it looks way more pigmented and way more shimmery than it does on my lips. I am not mad about it. I love the finish on Kitty . It is the perfect amount of shimmer without being overpowering.  Zoya describes Kay as a sheer red. In the tube, it leans more the to pink side, but on the skin it is a lot darker in pigment. I would still say that it leans pink- maybe because I am a pink lover at heart and everything just shines through a little bit more pink for me...

DERMA E Nourishing Rose Oil

Image
**Press Samples** DERMA E is back at it with one of my most highly held scents- ROSE! I just think rose is such a rich, therapeutic scent. For me, it's such a soothing scent and I can't get enough of my skincare products with rose in them.   I have two lovely products from DERMA E and their rose line. First up is the Microdermabrasion Scrub . I have used this twice and I am in love! It is currently sold out on their site and I can see why. The 2oz jar retails for $32.50 and worth every bit of it! The smell alone is absolutely amazing! I love the  Microdermabrasion Scrub  because it will help with those last little pesky acne marks and any little wrinkles that want to pop up. The directions suggest to use this twice a week, but I am on the once a week track because I want to make sure it isn't going to do anything weird to my skin. I can tolerate DERMA E products really well so I am pretty sure I will be ok with twice a week.  The DERMA E Nourishing Ro...

Heated Dog Bed for My Most Loved Pup!

Image
**Powered by BrandBacker** Pet Magasin gave me this great product to try out with my ol' pup, Kashi. The self- heating dog bed is one of their best sellers and comes in 2 different sizes. The package that I got has two mats;  1 large (28.5" x 34.5") and 1 small (17" x 11"). The mat is self-heated by a Mylar film which is the same material used in spacesuits that reflects your pets body heat and holds it in to insulate them from the cold floor. The top is a velvety material that is a durable and hypoallergenic foam. The bottom has rubber grips to keep the mat from slipping.  First, I love how soft these feel. Kashi does, too! She was a bit apprehensive at first, but once she felt how soft the pad was and how warm it was, she fell in love. I do have two concerns with this product. 1) The size! Geez oh man, what a difference between the large and small. Like there is not a happy medium. If you don't have a teacup sized dog, go for the large or your ...
