 Can you tell which eye was primed with Garden Botanika Primer?
My right eye (your left) was primed!!

As you can see in the pictures above, my review for the Botanika Garden Lash Primer is a positive one. My lashes are so thin and short. They are practically non-existent. I have tried many mascaras to make them look long and pretty. I have found one that worked but if I am not careful sometimes I can end up with spider eyes. YIKES!!! I have also tried fake lashes but I have such a hard time putting them on. I can never seem to do it as fast and perfectly as some other chicas can. Its kind of embarrassing when half of the fake lashes are hanging off my lid:(

I was excited to try this lash primer. I have been using it for a while now and love it! Garden Botanika Lash Primer is cruelty free and makes even the skimpiest lashes look longer and fuller. If you happen to shed some tears while wearing this primer, don't worry it wont make your eyes burn or sting. All you have to do is apply primer from base to tips and allow to dry. For thicker,longer lashes,apply a second coat. Then apply your favorite mascara. As you can see, I just applied a budget friendly mascara. I love the way my lashes look with this primer. Its definitely a must if you have skimpy lashes like I do!

Thanks for stopping by,

CAREFREE ACTI-FRESH-SheSpeaks

54 count Regular To Go Body Shape pantiliners

This is what was included in my SheSpeaks CAREFREE ACTI-FRESH package

These pantiliners are body shape instead of just straight shaped

Look how thin these are!!! No wonder I can't tell I have one on!!!!

*I received this 54 count package of pantiliners from SheSpeaks.com to test and review*

Last month, in December, I completed a survey on SheSpeaks.com. After completion, I qualified to receive a sample package of the Carefree acti-fresh body shape pantiliners. They sent me a big white envelope with 4 50cent coupons, 54 count package of liners and a Guide to Living by Carefree. I first tried it a  few weeks ago. I decided to wear one while I was doing a complete cleaning of my house including shampooing all the carpets. This pantiliner stayed in place the entire time. I did not even notice that I was wearing one at all. I also wore one during bed time. When I woke up it was still in place. There was no crinkling, shifting, or folding. It was still straight and aligned. I have been also wearing them during my cycle. I like wearing them for that extra protection when wearing a tampon. These pantiliners are so thin I can not even tell I have one on. They also help me stay and feel fresh.

How It Works:

Feels as soft & thin as a panty

New Core proven to absorb 2x more than before

8 hour odor control system

I really hope you give them a try. Thanks for stopping by.

CRAVEBOX HOLIDAY PAMPER ME BOX

Everything come wrapped in pink tissue paper

Package gets delivered to your mailbox

Finally my CRAVEBOX arrived!!! Just to clear the air this is nothing compared to Birchbox. In my honest opinion, I believe CRAVEBOX is so much better. The reason I say so is because this box has alittle bit of everything for your everyday life. It came with a full size candy bar, with a name that I can not pronounce. I certainly plan on saving it for a few more week for when that certain craving for chocolate begins. In the mean time I plan on sharing the chocolate truffle with my husband once we get a few minutes alone, after all he did pay for this box and the future ones to come.  There was also a nail polish to satisfy that nail polish addict in me. A body balm perfect for this time of weather was also included. I can never have enough lotion,,,,,no one likes ashy legs or elbows.  Now there is no reason why I should be scavenging through my kitchen junk drawer looking for a pen. CRAVEBOX just provided me with 2/2 pack pens. One pack is black ball point ink and the other pack contain a pink and purple gel ink. Cravebox is a monthly subscription that is only $10.00 per month. If you are tired of getting samples for $10.00 give Cravebox a chance. I am glad I did!!

My Favorite Holiday Snack

Chex Mix Muddie Buddies

Great to give as a treat to friends, neighbors,and teachers!

Apparently, these tasty treats have several names that you can call them. The lady at the register asked me if I was going to be making "Trash". I don't like that name at all:( The name does it no justice to way these taste. I have heard some people call it "Puppy Chow" or as my son say it "Puppy Food". I choose to call it "Muddie Buddies".
This is the most easiest snack to make and the most easiest snack to eat all by your self! It it so YUMMY! I have to make several batches for us, one for my brother and one for my parents house.
The ingredients are few:
9 cups Chex cereal (any flavor)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1. Into large bowl, measure cereal and set aside
2. In 1-qt microwaveable bowl, microwave chocolate chips,peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute. Stir. Microwave an additional 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla.
3. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.
4. Pour into a 2-gallon resealable food storage bag
5. Add powdered sugar.Seal bag and shake until well coated.
6. Spread on waxed paper to cool.
7. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
