Kiss Nail Dress Final Review

Clairol Nice'N Easy Color Blend Foam

Britt Nicole - All This Time Video W/ Lyrics

Tonight brought closure to a series of events in my life that began five years ago. This has left me humbled by the grace and blessings in my life. 

God is good all the time!

I remember the moment
I remember the pain
I was only a girl but I grew up that day.

Tears were falling

I know you saw me. 

 

Hiding there in my bedroom
So alone.

I was doing my best
Trying to be strong.

No one to turn to;

That's when I met you 

All this time,
From the first tear cried 

Til today's sunrise

And every single moment between

You were there

You were always there

It was you and I

You've been walking with me all this time. 

Oo-Oh, Oo-Ohhh,

You've been walking with me all this time

Ever since that day 

It's been clear to me
That no matter what comes, you will never leave. I know you're for me and you're restoring
Every heart ache and failure every broken dream

You're the God who sees,

the God who rescued me

This is my story,
This is my story

All this time

From the first tear cried

Til today's sunrise

And every single moment between

You were there 

You were always there 

It was you and I 

You've been walking with me all this time. 

Oo-Oh, Oo-oh-Oh

You've been walking with me all this time.

I hear these people asking me

How do I know what I believe?

Well, I'm not the same me, and
That's all the proof I need.

I found love I found grace

You stole my heart that day

Oo-Oh, Oo-oO-Oh

You've been walking with me all this time

All this time from the first tear cried

Til today's sunrise

And every single moment between

You were there 

You were always there 

It was you and I 

You've been walking with me all this time. 

Ever since the first tear cried

It was you and I

You've been walking with me all this time

Ever since the first tear cried

It was you, you and I

You've been walking with me all this time

Truvía® Natural Sweetener Product Review

Good Morning! 

This is the earliest that I've ever created/uploaded a video, and the earliest I've ever posted a blog. After getting my boyfriend out the door, I sat down to give Truvía® a try. 

If you are on a low carb diet or are cutting back on sugar, I would suggest trying Truvía. 

A 40-packet box retails for ~3.99.

Watch my review below:

I was sent this product in a VoxBox for consideration by Influenster; in partnership with www.truvia.com

Venus & Olay Razor

Tonight I took the most fabulous shower! I turned on my shower LED light and tried out my new Venus & Olay Razor for the first time. This razor came with two of the biggest moisturizing strips I've ever seen on a razor and promised that it's strips of petrolatum and glycerin would replace shaving cream.

I trustingly started with my underarms, moved on to legs and then lady parts and was not at all disappointed! If you are a subscriber to my Youtube channel you may know that I have suggested only using electric razors on your lady parts; I stand corrected. This was the first time I used the razor so it is yet to be seen how long the moisture strips last, but in new-condition I wouldn't have any reservations about using the Venus & Olay Razor for the bikini line. The Olay moisture strips and flexible head make you feel at ease about using a 5-blade razor on any body part.

Makeover Monday

Today is Monday, but in my world it's Saturday. The sun is out after a weekend full of rain, snow and hail showers here in Washington. My nail polish is chipped, my legs need to be shaven, my skin needs exfoliating, and my feet need to be soaked. 

Lucky for me, I got a LoveVoxBox in the mail last week and I have a few products to try out. My hands will get a makeover this afternoon when I use the Kiss Nail Dress that I blogged about the other day, and my legs will feel super silky after I try out the new Venus + Olay razor. 

I've also got a couple new colors of Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro that I picked up at Walgreens yesterday, Steel Grey and Hard Metal. They were 50% off so I got two for less than $5. My toes are going to have the Steel Grey on them; if I can manage to get the Kiss Nail Dress on my big toe I will be so excited! 

Another item I picked up at Walgreens was Clairol Nice'n Easy foam hair color in 4RB (Dark Reddish Brown). I have been wanting to move away from Auburn hair and think this will be a great new tone for me. Later on this week I will make a video about the dye just like the one below where I reviewed L'Oreal Sublime Mousse:

So, this week is going to be full of video updates and product reviews. I am really excited to try out these items and share how I feel about them with you all.

Take some time and care for yourself today!

Kiss Nail Dress

I recently received this package of Kiss Nail Dress fashion polish for testing/review. I am obviously stoked to try them, I mean look at my chippy polish compared to the detailed designs of these fashion strips! The design I have is called Princess.

I discussed this product briefly in one of my recent Youtube videos, and mentioned that I will do a tutorial but this afternoon I went to Walgreens after work and found myself picking my jaw up off the floor when I passed the display. I was thisclose to buying a second pack of them ($6.99) because the designs were so amazing, but I refrained just until I'm able to give this set a try. The package includes 28 fashion strips which can be applied to fingers or toes and last up to ten days. You don't even need a top coat! If I go out for another pair of these I will be picking up the 'Sexy' design.

Monday is my Saturday so I plan to have a video tutorial posted for these (or at least filmed) by then.

KONY 2012

I had no idea about this whatsoever. My impression was that the economy was the only oppression in Africa. Please devote a half an hour now, or book mark this page and watch the video later. I'm only 7:35 in and I've started to cry. From here on this blog will mark my reaction to the film as I watch.

Gavin: What a cutie pie! You can see in his face that he is an innocent, so saddened by the situation.

Why would you want to mutilate someone's face? Pure evil would motivate that, nothing else. The terror in the victims eyes is awful. A tear is falling from one at the 11:22 mark.

Joseph Kony is fighting only to maintain his power!

Unfortunately the United States government fights for oil, their own power, and money: not for humanitarian causes. Because we are currently engaged in a war over natural resources, we are less able to act on Kony.

16:05 What a joyful laugh and smile! Such spirit.

Jim Inhofe Republican Senator, Oklahoma :

"Of all the problems that are out there, none is more severe than one that mutilates and takes the lives of little kids."

"It's Got To Be 2012."

Barack Obama approved sending troops to Uganda!? This happened in October and I did not hear about it. This is an effort that I support.

The Steps We Need To Take, In Reverse:

• Find Kony
• Get Technology + Training To Track Kony
• US Training Assistance Deployed
• Get Kony's Name Out To Display Interest In Capturing Kony

WE HAVE THE POWER!

April 20th takes on a new meaning this year. Cover the country with Kony on April 20th, 2012. Posters, bracelets, etc. Please participate. Help Stop Joseph Kony.

Viva Glam Nicki Lipstick Fair Skin Review

I finally got my Viva Glam Nicki lipstick!! It was 14.50 from MAC with all proceeds going to the MAC AIDS Fund.

Here's my review of the lipstick and how it looks on my fair skin:

Fred Meyer - Magicloth Demonstration

I was shopping at Fred Meyer looking for work pants today when an announcement came on overhead. A free promotional give away for all adult shoppers in the store! Here's what happened next:



I am excited to try the Magicloth and see how it works on spills and messes. If it works as well as the orange ones did during the demonstration, I will probably invest in a mop/rag combo. Hopefully I can find them for $21.99 still.

Have you tried the Magicloth? Are they the same as ShamWow?

Papa John's Superbowl Giveaway Not A Scam!

Showing you my FREE large pizza and 2-liter of Pepsi Max! Friends, including a Pizza Hut Restaurant General Manager, have chatted with glee to me about their free Papa John's pizzas.

The above video was made on Feb 7th after the first "scam" comment on my original video:

I continue to receive comments of that nature so, even though the video is nothing to be proud of, I want people to know that Papa John's did not rip anyone off. 

Not only do you have to have ordered from Papa John's before, but you have to have placed at least one of those orders online while signed in to your Rewards Points account.

There are always customers who don't meet all the requirements of a promotion, return policy, etc or just flat out lie to try and get free products; and who try to blame the business for it. This free pizza giveaway cost Papa John's a pretty penny; leaving no room for unverified claims of "the system screwed me over". 

Do you know how many Pizza Hut customers probably tried to pretend they had an account with Papa John's that just was 'lost'? 

Do you know how close to impossible it is for ALL records of your membership to be lost? 

If Papa John's customer service cannot prove you had a membership with them prior to the giveaway, then you should have a copy of your registration confirmation in your e-mail history. Papa John's is not responsible for keeping those records for you. 

Additionally: The in-store employees DO NOT have access to anything related to your Papa Rewards Points, so contact Papa John's via the e-mail address you registered on their site with. Until you have done that, don't call it a scam.

Hope everyone enjoyed this awesome promotion!
