Kiss Gel Fantasy

The gel nails I received were cute! A few things about them...

If you intend to buy these, don't use the sticker application! they just kept falling off. when you use the nail glue, use a lot! make sure to coat the nail very generously and also you actual nail! I had one come off because I didn't put enough glue on! I don't like my nail long I like mine very short, they have some that come in that length, but even then they could be long or longer that you normally would wear them... 

Overall I really like them and would be getting them if I have something special I need to dress up for!

*I did receive mine from influenster for testing.

#CalienteVoxBox

So as you all know I get products from +Influenster to try out and put "my 2 cents in." This VoxBox I got was the #CalienteVoxBox and in it I got some great stuff!!

1. Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance SPF 30 Lotion Sunscreen: $9.99
The smell of this make me feel like I am on the beach! I did use it at Lake Michigan, which felt like the beach. It left my skin soft and glowing!

2. Kiss gel FANTASY: $7.99
These are ready-to-wear Gel nails. I don't know the difference between Gel and other fake nails, but these feel like acrylic without the wait! It came with nail glue and stick on stickers. I went with the glue...I love the color and how they feel. As a stay-at-home-mom I don't get out often but these nails made me feel like I was heading out for a night on the town!

3. Rice Krispies Treat Blasted S'mores: $2.99
Do I need to say more?

4. Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Treatment: $12.99
This dry oil is really awesome!!! My hair never felt softer and silkier!!! Most products tend to weigh my hair down and that's one reason why I never use products, but this dry oil did not weigh it down! and the smell was heavenly!! to me it had the smell of baby powder!

5. Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid: $23.00
This wasn't listed in the card that came with all the other stuff, It was a "bonus!" I can say that this is AMAZING stuff!!! I have enlarged pores on my nose and they are getting smaller! My skin is smooth! I love this stuff!!!

2 times!

Kyrie went and used the potty twice in a row! I'm shocked and happy for my little girl!

Huge step for Kyrie!

So today is HOT, so hot that I let Kyrie run around in just a diaper. For reasons unknown, Kyrie wanted to go outside, I told her that we needed to get dressed and get some shoes on. While I was in her room gathering her clothes she took off her diaper. Since she took it off by herself (for the first time), I figured I would see if she would like to sit on her potty. So I asked her and she took off naked butt and all to her princess potty and sat down, I held her leg so she wouldn't get up, because she like the idea of the potty but doesn't want to sit longer than a second. She was on there for like 4 seconds and she peed!!! I was so ecstatic that I cheered and clapped! I can't believe she went! I wanted to call Sean but he was on his way home from work and would be home any minute, so I called my mom! I needed to tell someone! Now I can only hope this means Kyrie is ready to take the plunge and start potty training!

#gentlepower

I got these amazing Cleansing cloths from Influenster! They are Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Cloths and I love them!!! I have some strange skin, my nose and cheeks are oily while my forehead and chin are dry! These cloths take care of all of that! Plus the cloths clean my face! When I run out I will for sure keep buying them! They are a life saver...well a face saver!!

The one about dog bites...

For the record I wasn't home when this happened, I was just walking in the door as it happened.


 I was getting home from yoga and Kyrie was on the floor or on the couch with Sean. She likes to wave at me through the window as she sits/stands on the armrest of the couch as I come in the door, I assume Shiro was in her spot when Sean noticed I was coming in and Kyrie must have stepped on or tried to climb over Shiro and that's when he bit her. I was waiting to walk in the house, so she can wave me in, but that's when I heard crying and I rushed saw the mark on her face, Sean didn't notice it at first, he thought Shiro snapped at her and she got scared. I then pointed out her cheek...and the rest is history.


The first time it happened, the dog bite wasn't even our dog. It was my sil's dog and she (the dog) bit her arm and caused bruising, no blood! The second time was Yui, and she bit her cheek real good! Left a scar that has finally gone away, only thing that is left is a small bump. This time it was Shiro.

I have said many times that if it was the same dog biting and causing damage we would have done something but its a different dog each time! I can only hope that this bite will be the last for a while! the bite that Yui caused happened almost a year ago!

The day my name changed...

Since Kyrie started talking I was always "Mama" and I loved being called that! In her sweet little voice, "Mama," and I would say, "what, baby?" It was her thing! I was HER Mama! So when all of a sudden (yesterday) she started calling me "Mommy" I just froze! I wasn't ready for her to call me that! I thought I had at most another year with the title "Mama" but she kept saying "Mommy!" When she would call me "Mommy" I would correct her and tell her, "No, I'm Mama." She would say, "No, Mommy!" So that is that, I'm now "Mommy" and I still don't like being called that! I cry every time she calls me that! I know I will get used to it and eventually will love being called "Mommy!" It was just too soon...

#vivavoxbox

I have fallen in love with influenster! This time I am blogging about the products I receive!



Number 1. Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Cocoa Radiant
I love, love, love this product! It smells AMAZING and doesn't leave your hands all greasy like other lotions or moisturizers do! I recommend this product!!

Number 2. Shell Fuel Rewards Network Card
When I saw this I was hoping for money on the card but instead it helps you save money of gas! I haven't has the chance to use it but when I do I hope the price will beat Sam's price on gas...

Number 3. Pure Ice Nail Polish
I received two colors; a very nice pink color and a clear one with glitter in it! I used the pink and did a top coat with the glittery one! I looked amazing!

Number 4. NEW Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths
Nothing much to say other than it cleans your skin and leaves it feeling fresh! It removes excess oil and can remove makeup!

Number 5. NYC New York Color Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color
I love lip colors that come in the form of a pencil! I love the color I got! I love everything about this product!

Number 6. Montagne Jeunesse Clay Spa
See my previous post... but I will say it is a good product!

Montagne Jeunesse Creamy Coconut

Let's talk about samples...
I occasionally do product testing through Influenster and I have to do various things to show my support for products I received. This post is dedicated to Montagne Jeunesse Facial Masks.

I tried this product today while miss Kyrie was napping and I hoped she would have stayed asleep the whole time, which of course she didn't. There I am wearing the mask and she wakes up, luckily my time was up but really kid?!? You couldn't have slept another 15 minutes while I took the thing off? Like I was saying...

The instructions were pretty easy: Clean face, Apply the stuff, "relax" for 10-15 minutes, and rinse off. easy enough!

The apply stage was interesting as I have never done one before. I cut the packaging and applied it all over my face. At first it looked like I didn't have enough, so I applied more..then my face started to tingle. Not good, right? As my face was tingling I looked at the ingredients and nothing stood out as to why it was tingling. I figure it must be something new that my face hasn't experience.

As the time went on and Kyrie woke up, I went to rinse it off and it didn't come off as easily and I was afraid that it would go into my eyes because when I applied it a small amount got around my eyelid and it started stinging, and that's what I needed more problems with my eyes. Luckily everything was fine! And as soon as I got done rinsing it off Kyrie falls back asleep!

Here are the links to Montagne Jeunesse Website, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest


My face is smooth and I can only hope it stays like this long enough for Sean to feel it!

Peace out!

Second Easter!

We just celebrated our second easter as a family! I wanted it to be more than what it was, but neither Sean or I knew what we wanted it to be. I wanted easter to be about finding eggs and playing a lot outside but Kyrie wasn't really into easter egg hunts, just like last year...granted she isn't 2 years old yet. I am hoping that next year will be better! Plus it gives Sean and me a whole year to figure out what kind of traditions we want to establish! Happy Easter!
