Influencer #JadoreVoxBox Review

I love getting boxes. Particularly ones I don't have to pay for wooo!! I was excited to see that I was getting the #JadoreVoxBox from Influencer! Here is what came in it and my review of the products!!


 
 
 


This is the one product I haven't tried yet. Im pregnant and need to do a little more research on whats in it before I try it out. Im really excited though because I want to find a new deep cleanser!



Hershey's Kisses Milk Chocolate $5.29 for a 18.5 oz bag
Do I even need to review this one?? Come on we all love it!


Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray- $9.99
I was a little skeptical about this and if it really worked. I feel like I can never find something that works the way it says it does. Guess what? It does!!! I wake up and wash my hair. Spray a few pumps of this in it blow or air dry and then straighten it. The next day I don't need to fix it at all unless it was up in a pony tail. Its awesome! And cheap! It also doesn't make my hair feel nasty after it dries!


Kiss Looks So natural lashes: $3.99
Ok I lied. Here is another I haven't tried and wont. I don't do fake lashes. Im a mom. I have gotten so many in my Ipsy boxes that I have enough to go clubbing every night for a month! They do look more natural and easier to put on then others I have seen though!


Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas: $4.49 for 20 tea bags

I got to share two things from my box with my husband this time!! Yep only two because the kisses were ALL mine!! We use to not be tea drinkers in this house, or coffee. he got sick recently and I had to give him some tea I had laying around. He tried these when we got them and really enjoys them!! Maybe we will be tea drinkers now!


Vaseline Men Spray Lotion: $7.99
M isn't a lotion wearer. I tried to get him some Mens Cocoa butter and he uses it if he really really needs to. He actually liked this!! He said it was easy to put on, and seeps in tot he skin quickly and doesn't leave residue. maybe that's because his skin is so dry...maybe not :)


I loved this box!! If your interested in Influencer let me know and I can share more info with you~

Thankful Monday

Thankful Monday
 
 
 
That the weather seems to be getting a tad better and MJ is able to go to school! He loves school and with it being so cold out it gets him out of the house!
 
 
 
 
That MJ's Birthday Party went so well!! It was a ton of fun seeing how happy he was to have kids over to play!
 
 
 
That my morning sickness seems to be getting a  tad better and Im not AS tired.
 
 
 
 
For being able to be a stay at home mom. Being pregnant is really making me slow down and cherish the time I have left with just being us 3. So happy I get to be home with MJ to spend as much time with him as possible.
 
 
 
 
On another note, having the opportunity to be starting a job/business that I love!

My Baby is 2!!!

To be writing this so soon is crazy to me. MJ is 2. I cant believe it. Was it really 2 years ago that I first held him in my arms? Moms always tell you how fast it goes but you just don't think about it until your sitting here at his 2nd Birthday Party and wondering where the time went. Its sad really. We are always saying how we cant wait until he eats solids. Cant wait until he says his first word. Cant wait until he walks. Cant wait. Cant wait. Then its all here, and they are growing up too fast and we want time to rewind or stand still. That's where Im at. I want time to stand still. This age is amazing. Its been amazing for a while now and it just gets better. He is so fun and perfect. I don't want him to grow up. I don't want him to need me  any less then he already does. Cant time just stop? Lets just have him be 2 forever. I will even take the new tantrums if it means he will stay young forever!

A little about MJ

* He is enrolled in a Montessori School 3 half days a week where he loves it and learns so much!
* I know everyone says this but Im pretty sure he is the smartest 2 year old ever.
* He is just under 3 ft. I can update on his weight when we have his apt next week but last we checked he was 30 pounds or just under.
* He is sooo helpful around the house and listens so well. Its amazing.
* He is a charmer and for sure a people pleaser. Everyone loves him and he loves that.
* He Loves trucks, trains, books, playing ABCMouse.com.
* Some of his favorite shows are PAW Patrol, Dora, Toy Story, Fox and the Hound, and  Baby Einstein's.
* I would say his favorite thing is to go outside but the weather here has been horrible so who knows if he loves that anymore lol


Here is my baby!

Announcment!

So I am so excited to post this. I cant keep anything to myself so this has been really hard. Of course most of you know ( if you are FB friends with me that is) but I must post it here as well.


MJ is going to be a big brother!! yay!! I have had a few of you asking about updates since I wrote a blog post about sharing my experience with you and had yet to update it. Well that's because we only tried one month this time! We are so excited and a bit in shock. I think the shock is finally starting to wear off. With Mj, it was such a struggle emotionally and physically to get pregnant. Maybe not for M but for me it was. My body just wasn't doing what it was suppose to. We were fully prepared to take just as long this time around.

I woke M up at 5:30AM to look at my pregnancy test with the very faint positive line to make sure I wasn't crazy! We are 10 weeks and couldn't be happier.

Of course MJ doesn't understand at all. We took him to the ultrasound and he saw the screen and yelled " baby crocodile"! lol so that's whats in my belly I guess. Its also been hard to tell this toddler not to jump on me. He just doesn't seem to get it. Good thing he has until September to understand a little better :)

Here are our announcement pictures!

Ipsy Glam Bag Review: February

My bag is here my bag is here!! Im so excited. I love this months bag. The bag in general gets me excited. I love the pink!! The cheetah print on the inside is so cute too! Check out what I got in my Ipsy glam bag!




Pop Beauty Plump Pout Mini in Fuchsia Freesia


I was really excited for this because I love gloss over lipstick and we have been getting so many lipsticks lately. I got the Fuchsia Freesia over the Peony Petal and am pretty bummed. I was hopeful this wouldn't be as pink as it looks but it is. It is just as pink on the lips as it is in the bottle and the picture doesn't even show half of how pink it really is! For sure nota  gloss I can just throw on carelessly. If I want to get use out of it I need to tone it down major! Also the smell is horrible. Maybe because Im pregnant but I do not like bad smelling lip products lol


Price: $16.00



Zoya Nail Polish in Dot
Love Love love it! Zoya is one of my favorite brand of polish. I am slightly obsessed. This bag is amazing if only because of this! I would have loved either color but I have been getting all the purples with ipsy lately so I was excited to see the Dot this time around. Its so pretty! Get this, and every Zoya polish out there. That is all.


price: $9.00



Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow in Violette

 I was a bit nervous about this because Im not a fan of shadows like this but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I for sure wouldn't saw crease free though. This color is sooo pretty on so im gonna have fun pairing it with some of my other shadows and see how it looks/does. Would I buy this on my own? Probably not but it wont get lost in my makeup box forever.


Price: $18.00


Skyn Fresh Start Mask with Ice Age Mud
Im really excited to try this. Im all about finding a good cream/mask to help with anti aging! yes yes Im only 25 but gotta start early! I wont be using this until after this pregnancy because using anything different on my face freaks me out. Check back In August and maybe I will do a post about my favorite creams and masks!

Price: $39.00 for 6 masks


J.Cat Beauty Eyelashes EL13
I hate fake lashes. Ok I don't hate them but Im a mom of a 2 year old boy. Who has time for that? Where would I even wear them? lol So I am over getting them in my ipsy bag. IPSY CHECK MY PROFILE I DONT USE THESE!

Price: $3.99



Benefit BAD gal lash
This was a bonus for my points so im exited. I am always in need of mascara. This one I heard was amazing!

Price:$19.00 for full size




Well there it is!! My bag! as always, I love my ipsy! Cant wait for next month!
