Influenster Products

I was sent new products by Influenster.  Here's my video to share what I found.

Harrumph

That's how I feel. 

I did it to myself. 

Two weeks of sometimes tracking. 

I chickened out tonight. I weighed in at home rather than at a meeting. 

But tonight, my food is tracked, the kitchen is closed, and I'm planning on having the scale go down next week instead of up. 

And no, I didn't gain tons, just a few pounds over two weeks. But I also know that continuing on in this pattern isn't going to help me at all. 

No march madness here. 

Thankful

I'm thankful for many things...

Being able to call family and just chat

Friends that know me

Fresh green beans

A husband who clean them and even puts away the dishes

A teacher evaluation that went well

A house that is warm tonight

A classroom where some of the worst behavior is keep your hands to yourself

Jobs that allow me to be creative

Jobs that encourage a healthy lifestyle

And in just a few short moments, a warm bed that I can asleep in. 

Thankful!!!

Good-bye dear friend!

It's hard to say good-bye.  Especially when they've been around for more than 15 years...but sometimes it's good to let go.

But I had to let go... 

This has been my go-to mug.  It didn't leak.  It never smelled from old coffee sitting in it for more than a day.  It was a mug that caught everyone's eye. 

However, it began to leak onto the paper and as you can see from the photo, the once vibrant colors began to fade. 

It was time to say good-bye.  So before I bid adieu to my cup, I took a photo.

Thank you for the tea.  Thank you for the hot cocoa and marshmallows.  Thank you for the countless cups of coffee.

One day, I hope to have another cup as wonderful as you!

I had an amazing package come in the mail. An Influenster box filled with some amazing products!!!

There was also a hairbrush in there, but I forgot to take a picture of it.  I've taken photos of what I really loved!  The lipstick from NYC Expert Last SugarPlum Lip Color was a beautiful shade, but I am just not a lipstick wear-er.  Same for the waterproof black eyeliner from Rimmel London.  Easy to put on, but too dramatic for me.

I haven't used the Thyme yet, but it looks amazing...very different than the ground up thyme I normally buy.

However, this eye make up remover from Rimmel London was a HUGE hit in my book.  Cleaned well.  Not greasy.  Easy on the contacts.  A win in my book and I will definitely buy this when I run out!

These bites from Fruit Vines were amazing!  Chewy, cherry, and just plain goodness!

I was not paid for my opinions, but I did receive these products for free to try...if you are interested in joining Influenster, leave me a comment and I'll send you a link! 

I'm alive

Any readers still there?

Life caught me by surprise. 

And life will continue to surprise me. I just need to learn balancing. 

In six days, I AM GETTING MARRIED!  

I have been blown away by my fiancé and can't wait to become his wife. 

I will post pics and share more details. 

Just wanted someone to know I was still alive. 

Trying something new...

After reading about it on several blogs, I am going to try Stitch Fix.

You sign up and tell them when you want a shipment and they send you five pieces.  Clothing and accessories.  You can even send them a link of what you save on Pinterest for your style.  You tell them what you would want to cover up and what you want to highlight.  You can tell them where you like to spend more money on things and where you like to spend less. 

You pay $20 no matter what and if you keep anything, it is taken off what  you buy.  If you keep all five items, then you get a 25% discount on all of the items.  If you want all the details, check out the site.

Then...you wait.

I am supposed to get my first shipment in November.  I'll post about it for sure.  I'm excited.

If you want to try it too, here's a link to get you on your way.  I get a $25 credit towards my purchases if you get a Stitch Fix.
