my week in pictures: just being grateful

Ahh! Seriously, a whole week gone by and I’ve only blogged once? Obviously there is something wrong with this picture. Guys, I’ve had one pretty stinky week. As you know a couple weeks ago, February 28th to be exact, our car was totaled.

I’m sure I’ll figure it out though. Enough griping. If you have any tips I’d sure love the help. (: In order to follow your favorite blogs… Read More

my week in pictures

I’ve noticed that when I’m not in school my life pretty much consists of nothing, and work -well and a little bit of volunteering. What am I going to do this summer when school is out?? This week was my spring break, but unfortunately since we are down to one car I didn’t really get to do anything. It was kind of stinky and the days went by really fast, but I did get some things done. Hopefully this weekend we will be able to buy a new car, I’m not sure how we are… Read More

Influenster: Sweetheart VoxBox 2013

I was so excited when Influenster chose me to review these products. I’m a huge fan of trying new things, especially new beauty products; because, like all women I’m looking for products that really work! I was a little disappointed with two of these products in this VoxBox, but the deodorant definitely made up for them. Let’s take a look at the items in the box: Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response – $7.99- $9.99 – I love this deodorant! Love, love love. It smells so good and it works really well. It goes on smooth… Read More
