Mary Kay Vox Box


I got my second Influenster Vox Box in the mail a couple of weeks ago.  I have to tell you, I was very impressed.  I have tried Mary Kay products in the past and wasn’t at all happy with them.  Well this box I received was all Mary Kay and it was amazing.  I am tempted to change all of my makeup over to Mary Kay products.  The translucent powder “seals” my make up on all day.  Throughout the day I don’t develop that oily look or anything.  The blush I put on a light little bit of.  And the bronzer I can actually use a decent amount of without even beginning to look “unnatural”.  You know how some bronzers if you barely touch your skin, it will be super dark Not this one!  The mascara is very nice also and stays on all day.  Leaves my lashes looking longer and fuller.  The “apricot” eye shadow is a very natural color and goes great with my skin tone.  The only thing I did NOT like in the box was the eye liner.  The eye liner was a gel that came in a small circle container with a rather large applicator to put it on with.  I think it would be nice it is would have came in a tube instead of the circle container with the big applicator.  I think once you get the hang of using the applicator it would work great though.

Weight Gain and Loss



39 Weeks Preggo 142 lbs. I gained a total of 42 lbs my entire pregnancy. Yes this is a lot for me. But towards the end of my pregnancy my feet, ankles, and my calves were starting to swell.. Really Really BAD. So once I delivered and a few days later when I was swollen anymore the weight just started to fall off. I was a little sad that when we headed home from the hospital I was still weighing 136 lbs, I hoping to leave weighing much less but luckily it all came off the following week.


5 Days Later



At 1 Week Post Partum I was down to 115 lbs.

Now I am back down to 110 lbs.  Before I got pregnant I weighed 100 lbs but I do NOT want to go back down to this weight. I felt like I looked too skinny, but I also couldn’t gain weight. I had tried everything. But now that I am at my ideal weight I definitely want to stay at it.

my recent buys

You might think it looks like I have had quite the shopping bug lately.. Well you might be right!


The sissy in law and I went shopping at Target before my 38 week appointment last week. Newborn baby shoes $3. 1 pair of baby sunglasses and 4 headbands $4. Set of two baby sleepers $10.. They were too adorable to pass up.


I only went in looking for the 1 pair of baby sperrys but I came out with two. $25 for sperrys and $11 for the pink converse. I got size 2 (3 to 6 months) so she can grow into them and maybe wear them when she is getting into her crawling/walking stage.


$18 for "C" necklace - etsy


Chloes newborn baby gown. $22 


Tory Burch super silver tiny earrings. $13.99 eBay


Anchor jewelry - $12 eBay and did I mention free shipping!?


Bubble statement necklaces. I just love these. $20 for 2 at a local boutique in town.

So I got a few dealz here and there..

How Pinteresting

Needless to say I cannot wait until I can wear normal clothes again.  Somedays I seriously don't even want to leave the house, because I cannot dress cute anymore. lol.  I dont want to go out and buy a ton of maternity clothes (super $$) and then not need them within 8 weeks, after baby Chloe gets here.
These are super inspiring outfits I cannot wait to start wearing :)

Marley Lilly


Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE Marley Lilly products?  I will admit, they do take a little long to get the items out of processing and to you but they are worth the wait.  It probably isn't a long time (1.5 weeks) to most people,  I just get antsy when I order stuff offline.  But anywho, I just love there stuff.  Anything monogramed = LOVE.

Saw It.. Did It... Pinned It..

My version of the pin.

They turned out okay.  I need a different color and more time to do them and they would have looked more so like the pin did.

Birch Box February & March

February Birchbox

I didn't feel like this one was so great:
Ghiradelli Chocolate 
Perfume Sample
Nart - BB Cream
Green Nail Polish Sample
and Leave in conditioner and detangler


I haven't tried the nail polish yet.  The BB Cream was way to dark for me to use unfortunately.  But the leave in conditioner and detangler was great! It did make my hair super shiny and healthy looking.


March Birchbox

Now I did LOVE this one...
Nail Polish Strips
Pink hair band
Blueberry scented shaving cream
Nail file
Acne serum

Nail polish strips were a super cute color. Baby blue. The shaving cream smells good and makes your legs super soft.  I haven't used the hair band.  The acne serum works very well.  I have had acne problems since I got pregnant back in November.  So  this stuff you can actually use while pregnant (I was so happy!) It does dry your skin out so you have to use a good lotion at night with it.

Carrie


Guess who gets to go see Carrie in concert this coming April?

Me!! I am just super excited! I have been DIEING to go to one of her concerts for while now.  My sweet mother in law got me tickets for her April 20th concert here in Jacksonville, for Christmas.  Needless to say my husband isn't super excited about a country concert, but I don't think he will be doing much complaining about seeing Carrie up close.  I mean, what guy in his right mind would complain right?!
