The stomach flu kicked my butt

The stomach flu has hit my house hard this week. We usually are not the type of people to fall prey to seasonal illnesses, I hadn't been sick in years and Erik never gets sick. First, it took my youngest son Jameson on Monday. On Wednesday, Jackson and myself, and finally on Friday it took my husband. It has been a nightmare to say the least. The only thing that has saved us was a prescription of Zofran from the family doctor.

Today I read a couple tips (yay Pinteresit!) that said drinking three cups of 100% grape juice a day helps prevent gastroenteritis if you think you may have been exposed. So in case round 2 of this horrible virus wants to perk it's ugly head up anytime soon, I am stocked up with grape juice and ready to fight it off.

So dear readers, this is why I haven't been very responsive this week. I had so many things to do this week and I've fell so far behind on my work. I hope all of you and your families stay healthy. And be glad your reading this far from where I am writing.

Bare Minerals Beauty and the Beach Review

Last week I cashed in my beauty points on Sephora.com for this lovely sample set by bare minerals. The set is called Beauty and the Beach and it includes 5 pieces for a summer look. The set included marvelous moxie lip gloss in party starter, ready bronzer in the skinny dip, bare minerals ready blush in the natural high, all over face color in pure radiance and a sample of their lash domination mascara . So here is my take on the set: Here it is ladies! Marvelous Moxie lipgloss in Party Starter- this is a darker, coral and peach color. It was very sticky but it lasted for a few hours. It matched the blush perfectly. Ready Blush in The Natural High : This blush is a nice peachy pink color, it looks really shimmery in the package but looks more matte when applied. I loved that the color matched the gloss! Ready Bronzer in The Skinny Dip- I used this to contour and sculpt my face and it turned out beautiful. It matched my skin tone very nicely. Its very similar to t...

Best Fragrances of 2017

I am such a Perfume junkie. I change fragrances with clothes, moods, seasons and events. I've always felt like Perfume is a luxury that women should spoil their selves with. I love giving perfumes to my friends, family, co-workers, neighbors(you get the picture). And my favorite gift is always perfume(hint-hint)! Every department store visit, I head to the fragrance counter before I check out anything else to see what's new(Yes fragrance girl, you can give me a spritz). Ok, now that you get the idea of how deep my relationship with perfume is. 2017 has been a great year for the fragrance industry. I thought long and hard and I really can't remember trying a scent that I didn't like. From new releases from beloved favorite brands, Gucci Bloom, Victor & Rolf Magic, Tom Ford Oud Minerale to new fragrences from Diptyque Eau des Sens, Jo Malone London Jade Leaf Tea Cologne, and Atelier Cologne Café Tuberosa. It was a struggle to ...
