Weekly Obsession

This week our obsession is ranging more towards a family issue that anyone who has school age children probably struggles with...LUNCH!

So lunch brings about a myriad of issue both emotional and practical. I know my ten-year old not only worries about what I'm packing in her lunch but also what her lunchbox and also what the accessories in her lunchbox look like (yes, the need to have something "cool" is already here!). Especially when she's at an age where her tastes (both in food and what's "cool") change on almost a daily basis. Needless to say, lunch can be a very frustrating topic!

But, I have found one thing that we can both agree on....

Allure January 2016 Beauty Box

OK, so we're a little behind on our subscription unboxings! We're working hard to catch up! We just posted our Allure January 2016 Beauty Box unboxing! Check out the full review at our YouTube channel!

Bluum Box January 2016

Check out our new subscription box video! We just reviewed Bluum Box! Bluum box is a subscription for your kids. It's tailored to your child's sex and age. But, that's not the best part! You can choose your items every month or choose to be surprised! So, if you're really anxious about getting items that you won't use this is a great option! Beyond that, Bluum box also has categories for your home, cleaning and other domestic items. While they may not excite my kids, these types of things definitely excite me! This box is a great cross between a kids box and a family lifestyle box! Take a look at our video for the full review.

HSN Beauty Clearance!!! Great deals on prestige beauty!!!!

Oh, I love a good sale on Mondays! Well, I guess I should tell the truth...I love a good sale on any day! HSN is one of my favorite go to places! The trick to getting a good deal is to keep an eye on the Clearance sale page. They frequently mark down really great items to next to nothing. One of the best things is that since they get exclusive beauty gift sets that are already a great deal due to the terms HSN worked out with the manufacturer now these items are on clearance and an even better deal!

Girls Trip! Vegas Essentials - The Budget Version

It's probably a little early for this topic but, lately I've run across lots of great drugstore items that I've made a mental note to add to my must have list for our next annual girls trip to Las Vegas (we go every year for 2 days and it's AWESOME!). What's better than gambling, eating, drinking, dancing, relaxing by the pool and going to the spa for 48 hours straight right? And no, the spa does not in any way reduce any of the damage done to my skin during our Vegasfest.

Anyhooo, with all of that going on it does actually take some work to not look like a 100 year old badly used handbag by the time we're ready to leave. If I came home looking the way I actually felt my husband would probably never let me go again! So, in order to reduce the haggard lines and sallow skin as much as possible I've put together my list of items that are amazing at disguising and, in some cases, actually reducing the damage.

Weekly Obsession!

It's a new year and I'm currently on a "let's save money" kick. And to that end I've been trying more drugstore brand beauty items. It's kind of hit and miss (I still love my high end beauty products!). However, I have found one hit that makes me super happy!

Throwback Thursday - on Monday!

Just a quick post. Everyone remembers their first wine...and most people fall into this bucket!

I just started watching Togetherness on HBO ( a little odd but it quickly grows on you) and the pilot episode features a throwback to my very first wine. Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill!

 I can't find the scene but, this one was just as entertaining!

Which just makes this look all that more refreshing!

Ahhhhh....happy monday!
