Product shout out!

So, on Tuesday my husband and I celebrated our nine-year wedding anniversary. As I was getting ready and trying to decide what look I wanted to create for the evening, I was at the point where I needed to pick out my fake eyelashes. I have many to choose from, and I put on two different pairs and quickly pulled them off deciding it wasn't what I wanted. For some reason, I didn't want the intense feather eye look, so I grabbed a pair of lashes I haven't put on for a while and forgot how perfect they are. First of all, they are amazing quality; and they are dramatic enough to make people jealous of your long lashes, yet subtle enough that they could pass as yours.

Instacart.. groceries delivered to your door.

My husband and I have some pretty crazy schedules.  We are both college students, and we do not always have time to go to grocery shopping. The last time we went to our grocery store, we saw a sign stating that they were going to start delivering groceries via Instacart.  We were so excited and  really happy to try out the service to see if it would be something that would work for us.  

Even though we have only placed one order, I already see a ton of advantages. For example, no more impulse purchases!  So many times at the grocery store it is easy to go off budget by being tempted by sweet treats or other yummy goodies. I looked at the ingredients we needed for our meals this week and went through Whole Foods virtually adding everything that we needed.  

It gave the options to pick between organic, etc. and the site was easy to navigate although I saw that sometimes I had to be very specific.  For example, we love Amy’s frozen Margherita Pizza.  There is more than one type and the one that uses Daiya cheese.  When I saw all of Amy’s pizza’s listed, ours were not there.  I had to be very specific by typing "pizza Daiya" to see the pizza with we wanted.

Once I placed my order on Instacart, I saw our projected total, and they authorized $20 over that cost which is going to be refunded within 7 days following the completion of our order.  There was a service fee, I believe it was 10% of our total bill.  Delivery was $5.99 but free for your first delivery, I also applied a $10.00 off coupon.  

We could decide the time-frame we wanted our groceries delivered, and they were delivered about 10 minutes before the time-frame begun.  I heard from our shopper while he was shopping, but unfortunately I was not awake to respond!  He let us know if something was out of stock, and what he was replacing.  Overall, the experience was great having our groceries delivered at our door, and we can’t wait to use instacart again!

Wildflower Marble iPhone case

A few weeks ago I purchased my first cell phone cover from Wildflowercases.com.  I have the iPhone 6+ and that can make it more difficult to find a good selection of cases, most come in the regular size and not the plus version!  I was pleased to see a lot of selection on Wildflower's website for my iPhone, I saw this one and loved the granite... especially around the fall season. This time of year I tend to paint my nails a darker color, and I really loved the colors in the marble case.  It slid on my phone easy and has protected the sides really well, I love the look and it looks so much like real marble!  I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a trendy case, there are so many options on their website!

Beauty tip

Beauty tip! I have a huge love for mink eyelashes..  before applying make sure your natural lashes are curled and loaded with mascara. After you apply your mink strip pinch your natural lashes to your false ones to that they blend effortlessly.  

Bedroom eyes

 "How do I get amazing eyelashes?"  Ever since the bedroom eyes of Marilyn Monroe, the eyes play the most important role in getting that sexy bombshell look.

Last year I went the route of getting eyelash extensions and let me say, horrible experience!  For me anyway.  My left eye irritated me so badly that I could barely keep it open, puss was coming out of my eye and by the end of the night my eye was redder than your favorite shade of lipstick that's tucked in your back pocket.  No matter what I did, my eye was angry.  I know pain is beauty but sometimes you do have to have your limits.... so the next day I painfully (and I mean, painfully) had them removed by a professional and haven't looked back.  So, now I just stick to my favorite mascaras and my favorite fake eyelashes.  And some of my favorites are:

Benefit really has some of my favorite products and not to mention, their packaging is usually pretty adorable.  They're Real mascara is an addiction.  Who needs fake lashes when you have a tube of this! My advice for people trying for the first time- this is a build-able mascara, you need about 3 good coats to see its magic. Let each coat get semi dry (sticky) in between the next layer. Then enjoy!

Roller Lash by Benefit.  The newest mascara by Benefit hit the scene with another hit.  Use both"They're Real" & "Roller Lash" to really get those intense bedroom eyes.
