It is finally time to say goodbye to the Ipsy Glam Bag and the Birchbox monthly subscriptions. I noticed over the passed 2 years that I have a lot of things I don't really need or use, others may feel differently, but IMHO, I really got bored with them. Ipsy had some super cute bags, but sometimes, the bags were useless and ugly, and other times they were a great hit. The one little thing I didn't like apart from, well repeated things, is that their card never listed the items that were in the box, it made it so hard to make my videos. Lol, I would literally have to keep a browser window open for each one so I can give accurate information. Unlike Birchbox that did send a card with all the lovely items that were in the box, but again, I kept getting repeated things, I really didn't need. I know they are samples for one to try Continue Reading
Moyra Stamping Plate Kit – Nail Mail/Prize Mail ~ Thank you Chris Thon!
In between doing Dollar Tree hauls and collective hauls, because we love clearance shopping, I got an awesome prize mail from Chris Thon on YouTube. I won her 500 subbies, I was so so excited about the plate, and all the goodies she was going to send. I still plan on doing another video swatching the plate, as it is amazing! Check out the goodies below. She sent not only the Moyra Vintage Stamping plate kit, but also some yummy chocolates, that my honey and myself enjoyed :), she also sent a cotton claw, some Alpha Liquid Gold, at first i thought it was for the hands, but it turns out it is for the face. I have never heard of it, but am so excited to try it. She also sent a really cute tin with L'occitaine products, yippy! Never tried it, have heard of it though. It contained Jasmin Immortalle Neroli Lip gloss, and hand lotion, and Continue Reading
PROshaker 2.0 Nail Polish Shaker – Great for Gel & Stamping Polish Too!
I was gifted the PROshaker 2.0, why? Because I am lazy lol. NO i am not well maybe haha, NO seriously because I have so many nail polishes, not to mention now in addition to nail polish, gel polish and stamping polishes. And shaking up the latter two is not easy task, plus I would be shaking for house, and it is known to develop carpel tunnel syndrome from shaking nail polish bottles, I feel for the nail techs that do this, they seriously need this PROshaker 2.0, it is a tiny bit noisy, but salons often either have music playing or a TV on to entertain and distract clients. So personally if I had a salon, I would definitely have one or two of these. I did a demo and review on YouTube, here is the link for that video, check it out for yourself. This is such a time saver!! Especially if you have so much going on, and want to Continue Reading

Short Nails Mani ~ Beginner Stamping
So I have taken up nail stamping, there are so many awesome designs some ladies come up with, with a multitude of colors and patterns.
