UH OH....NEW HOBBY!!
I know, I know, I have been gone for sooo long. Life gets in the way with mommies, that's the original point of this blog!! But I have something that I want to bring to every one's attention today that will help everyone that has a little craftiness to them, so keep reading!!
Now, I know everyone has a busy, busy life now a days and most have no problem remembering what all you have to do. Then there are the ones like me, that can't remember what you have going on each day, even when some things are staring you in the face. Hello Chores!! So, I started using a free printable planner off of Pinterest and would literally document everything that had to be done, along with appointments (which is all I ever used to use a planner for), what needs cleaned during the week, and now my first grader's homework, which NO LIE, is more than I ever did in high school in one night. Slacker alert, I know, but seriously, I do not remember ever having tests every single Monday. But I was starting to get tired of the plain old printout and was looking for a planner that had more of an artsy factor. After a little searching, I came across an Erin Condrin.
Now, these things are gorgeous and when you see the "planner world" and all the beautiful ways that you can decorate this thing, it really makes the crafter in me jump for joy. The price tag on one of these puppies though, not so much. An Erin Condrin will set you back at least $50 and that's just the base price, without customization or s&h. Me being the guilt-ridden mother that I am, I could not justify a purchase of that amount on a planner. After some more searching, I came across The Happy Planner from Me and My Big Ideas.
Not only are these a little cheaper but comparable to the Eric Condrin, but they are also sold at Michael's and Hobby Lobby! Now, if your brain works like mine did, the word COUPON would have automatically popped into your head. Although this week, there is no coupon needed because all planners and accessories are 40% off. I bought the Follow your Heart planner pictured above this week and am already loving it. I did not get any of the accessories as of yet and I am glad that I didn't. There are a ton of free printable planner stickers available online for these planners and I recommend trying those or checking out the shops on Etsy if you want premade sets. I downloaded and printed out a freebie to try and the reasons I am glad that I didn't buy all the sticker books and things at Michael's, are
1. I have realized after my first week that I would like more of a functional layout, which to me means more white space than what I would have done if I had bought all those stickers.
2. Most of those stickers in the books that you can buy from MAMBI are uplifting motivational, whereas I am more of a snarky little bitch quotes kind of gal.
3. I LIKE CHARACTERS!! A lot of the stickers in the MAMBI books or even on Etsy are clip art kind of things and I prefer real pictures of the things I'm interested in. Jamie Fraser as a clip art character or a real picture of Sam Heughan. Hmm. I know which one I want and it is damn easy to make them yourself!
Now that I have told you all why I love this thing and where to get it, what are you still doing here?! Run! Go get one and organize your life in style! OH! Not only are the planners on sale but there is a 60% off Recollections washi and stickers coupon at Michael's too!
I will probably be doing a few more blogs on this, especially if you all want me to. Let me know in the comments if you want to see some of my layouts or stickers. I, of course, have gone all out and have been making different ones every couple days! Bye for now!!

Ipsy Bag March 2014
I have only received 2 Ipsy bags but I think I'm in love! The only complaint I have is that this month, there was only 4 items in the bag. but considering that 2 of the products seem to be full sized, who can complain too much?!
First up, bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready. It's OK. Not really a color I would pick for myself and it doesn't have much staying power, in my opinion.
This is the NYX eye shadow Love in Rio. I love this! It's very pigmented and in colors that I would pick for myself. Ipsy really hit the nail on the head with this one! I would have picked this even for myself, although I would prefer it not to be so sparkly.
Next is the Pixi Beauty Flawless Beauty Primer. I have not used this since I will be almost out of my Almay Primer. Which happened to be a new bottle two weeks ago but then some kids decided to paint my bathroom with it. That was a lovely day. LOL. But, back to topic, I can't wait to use this.
Last but not least is the Chella Indigo Blue Eyeliner. Have I ever worn blue eyeliner, HECK NO! Will I ever wear blue eyeliner? Maybe. I usually stick to black or brown but I will try this out and see how it looks when I want to feel a little wild. Maybe even wear it to a Zumba After Dark!
Blah bag it came in. Not my favorite and will probably be giving it away.
So this was my March Ipsy bag. I do like the products they sent this month. And yet again, I think they beat Birchbox this month. Ipsy is definitely a keeper for this girl here!

SOOO Birchbox
So, Birchbox this month isn't bad but it isn't great either. On the plus side, I received 5 products plus the lifestyle extra, which is a first.
First up is from theBalm cosmetics How "bout Them Apples? in the color Pie.
This is for lips and cheeks and I love it. It's so creamy and smooth.
I also received the Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic face rejuvenator. I have not used this as of yet since it exfoliates and I need all the color in my face that I can get at the moment.
Next is the Coola Tinted Matte SPF 30. I haven't used this yet either but since it's snowing outside at the moment, I think you would understand why I have not used this yet. Where I come from, you are outside long enough to walk from the house or store, to the car and vise versa. Once it warms up, I'm sure I'll love it.
Here is the Gena Pedi Cure Foot Treatment Creme. I haven't used this packet yet but I have used this before. I can't say for everyone but personally, it softened the rough spots on my feet only while using a foot buffer thing. What wouldn't soften your feet when being used with a buffer?!
This is StriVectin-AR Advanced Retinol Day Treatment with Broad Spectrum SPF 30. I have not tried this and am a little afraid to try it. If I happen to like it and would want more, this stuff is $99!! I'm not old enough to be paying crazy prices for miracle creams!
And last but not least, Ghirardelli Intense Dark Cherry Tango chocolate. I am saving this baby for a really bad freaking day. I love that I finally got a full box (in my opinion, anyways). And I love the idea of chocolate in a box. Now if only I could get some hair pieces that everyone used to get. My box would be complete!
Well this was the March Birchbox for me. Like I said, not bad but still not seeming to beat my Ipsy bag. I'll give them a few more months to prove themselves. That's all for now, Have a great evening!

I'm Back! And Freaking OUT!!!!!
So, I know I have been gone for a while but after I quit my job, I joined a gym, bought a tanning package, and have just been enjoying life again. So, I have a Birchbox and an Ipsy post to write about. And I have to recommend this book series. The Lesson Series by Jennifer Conners. A-MAZ-ING. Her first book was a freebie (we all know I love those) but I was completely hooked from then on. There are eight books in the series out and the ninth will be out on Amazon in just a few days. The way that I would describe the Lesson Series is classic romance with a modern twist. Literally. Ginnie, the main character, is coming back from a vacation in hell when she ends up in an accident. Then she's waking up, not in her own life, but as the heroine from every book that she read while on vacation. Sounds odd, right? Another blah book. WRONG! Instantly fell in love with this series. If you want to know just what I'm talking about, go here for A Lesson In Passion, the first book of the series, which is FREE. Check it out. See for your self. And let me know what you think!
