The 5 Slot Organizer

I enjoy watching Youtube Video's in my spare time. Not as often anymore with my daughter but I do still get in some time. One of my favorite people to watch is Coffee Break With Dani.
 Dani teamed up with Zahara Beauty to create this 5 Slot Organizer.

Of Course I had to have it. Well three to be exact, you can't just get one!

This slot organizer is awesome. It's a Lot bigger than I expected it to be. It also comes with little feet on the bottom, which will prevent slipping. Can we all just get together and say Nice. How annoying is it to have your organizer filled and then it falls off the counter...Anyone else had this happen Or just me and my special self?? 

Humm I might need some more brushes

Anyway enough about me and my clumsiness...

Anyone else bought one of these bad boys?? What do you think? I love mine, I've been wanting to get an organizer but just haven't found one that didn't seem cheap. This one just looks and feels nice. Very nice quality and huge slots! I'm happy as a clam...humm I might need some coffee... 

Petunia Pickle Bottom

Since I announced I had a baby, I have received a ton of emails from you guys asking what kind of diaper bag I used. I use the Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack.

This diaper bag was a gift from my mother. It's a bit on the pricey side. Who am I kidding, it's flat out expensive! But it's a nice looking diaper bag. To me it's sleek and stylish. The bag has built in pockets, a changing station, and multiple carrying options. 

I want to like this bag so much. I Love the way it looks, but in reality it's just not enough room. 

As you can see it's slam full. I really don't even have much inside. I have 2 bottles, a bottle of water, bottle of formula, 1 outfit, 1 bib, 1 thin blanket, 1 jacket and 1 hat. That's all I could fit into the inside. Now remember this, my daughter is only 2 months old. So her clothes and bottles are small. I'm afraid to see how full it will be when her clothes are bigger and I start carrying around toys. 

Horrific picture but this is the area where I keep the diapers, and it's also where the changing station is located. 

The changing station is awesome! But it takes up so much room (it's bulky). On both sides are zippers that unzip and fold out. That's probably one of my favorite features of this diaper bag. 

I think I will eventually get a larger bag, hopefully from the same company. The quality of the bag is really nice and so easy to clean. Just like I said, it's not quite enough room...At least for us...

Influenster GIveaway

So I am part of this program where you can get sample boxes, called Voxbox. It's a range of items from makeup to vitamins. All you have to do in return is write a review on the items you received. Right now the company is doing a giveaway where you can win some pretty cool prizes. I mean some really nice prizes.  If your not apart of Influenster click  Here and you will be entered to win one of the awesome prizes!


Just to give you a quick idea about Influenster, I was sent a Target Dry Spray VoxBox. In my box I was given 2 Dove Spray Deodorants. One for myself and one for my husband. These bad boys are both full size cans too!

Instyler Max ~Wet to Dry~

I have been wanting to try an Instyler rotating iron for the longest time. I am forever seeing the infomercial at night on TV. So I caved in and got one. Gosh they are expensive! I think I'm just cheap...

Anyway I bought the Wet to Dry iron. I hate to blow dry my hair. I have super thick, long hair. So when I blow dry, it takes me forever and I swear I end up looking like a poodle. My hair no matter what brand or products I use, still ends up a poofy hot mess! So I really hoped this iron would work for me. I mean come on who doesn't want a blow dryer/flat iron, all in one?? Saves you a lot of time right??

I was so excited to give this a try. I came home, jumped into the shower and plugged this bad boy in. Now I did towel dry my hair a bit before I gave this a shot. There is no way, soaking wet hair would work with this iron. It would take you Forever!

This bad boy heated up fast!   Because I have such thick hair, I put it into a bunch of small sections. And it took me Forever to get my hair dry....Ugh...Ok so I ended up just blow drying my hair...Ok no big deal, I figured it wouldn't dry my hair anyway...

So let's skip the drying part and just try to straighten my hair instead....Back to a bunch of tiny sections...Seriously an hour later (and a couple of check ins by my husband, because I was in the bathroom so long)  my hair was straight.

Please don't get me wrong, this iron Did in fact straighten my hair. It just took me freaking Forever!
I had to do each section at least 3 times, which does become a pain in the butt. I guess if my hair wasn't as thick...I don't know. My flat iron I use now, it takes me maybe 10 minutes to get my hair straight. Which with a 2 month old baby, is a lot more convenient than 1 hour.

Other than Time my only complaint is my hair got stuck in the rotating part...Can we say Ouch...

What does everyone think? Any one else given this Rotating Iron a try?

Smashbox X-Rated

I've heard good things and bad things about Smashbox's X-Rated mascara. According to the details this mascara is suppose to give you thick, voluptuous lashes...Ok sounds good right?? It's also sold as a build-able mascara, which usually means your going to get clumps like no tomorrow. But it says no flaking or smudging and clump resistant for up to 12 hours. Hum....Ok....

Now I did get off to the wrong start with this mascara. I found the tube to just feel very cheap. And for $22 it's not cheap! The handle for me also was awkward to hold. Just felt clunky and big.

But

I did give it a good honest try. 

And

I'm not that impressed...Bummer...You know I'm going to give you my honest thoughts on this mascara. It's nothing special. I absolutely hate the handle of the wand. For me it was awkward to hold and try to apply the mascara.  

Now it did give me longer looking lashes but as I feared it did clump. I honestly do not see how you could apply more than 1 coat with out it turning into horrific clumps. The first coat didn't look too bad, did have a few clumps, then I made the mistake of doing a second coat. It was on after that! Clump City....

SO

All in All, I'm good. I won't buy this again. If I'm going to be spending that kind of money I will either go with Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara or Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara. 

New Blog...New Page...

So I think I'm going to quit using this blog and move completely over to my website. I just got it up and running but I will hold off on completely moving over there until I know if it will be as successful as this blog. Let me know what you guys think, if you like it better or this blog better.

The Silver Witch

I'm on this weird mission to read all of Paula Brackston's books before her new one, The Return of the Witch comes out later this year. So far I'm doing Ok..I've read The Silver Witch, The Witch's Daughter, and working on Lamp Black, Wolf Grey. Only 3 more to go before her new one comes out, and with a 2 month old it's not the easiest thing in the world to do!

On to the book. I enjoyed most of this book. By the end I was seriously ready for it to be over. I was in Love with the setting of this story. The main character Tilda moves to a secluded Welsh cottage with a beautiful lake near by (at least in my mind it was beautiful), Then weird things start to happen, so on and so on. I don't want to ruin the story for you guys! The story also follows another woman  Seren who lived in Celtic times by the same lake. Her story is one that started to get a little old and a little weird. I Hate the way her story ended though! I read it and was just like freaking really, but what happened, why is there no more information?? You will understand what I mean when you read this book. 

When I'm reading a book I like to feel like I'm in the story. I like to imagine the place where the story is set. With this book I was able to do that. I could see the cottage, the lake, and the characters in my mind. But like I said, by the end I was ready for it to be over. Paula Brackston's writing seems to always include 1 main character from the present and 1 from the past. Sometimes this gets to be confusing, but not with her writing. You are able to keep up and not confuse who is who. Huge plus for me. On to the Next!
