October Julep Review

Julep is one of my subscription boxes.  It is mainly nail polish and tools for manicure's and pedicure's but they also have beauty products. I chose Classic with a Twist as my maven subscription box.  I have received three boxes so far and I absolutely love the products.  In the October box I received two nail polishes, a lip gloss and a sample of skin serum.

 

The nail polish colors are beautiful and perfect for Fall.  The one on the left in the photo is called Cynthia and it is a light beige with glitter.  It is a very neutral color and would be perfect for a party.  The other shade is called Sheila.  It is an orange red.  It matches the red on Arrowhead water bottles exactly.  (I just happened to have a water bottle on my desk.)

 

The lip gloss color is called Glowing.  The formula is smooth not sticky like most lip glosses.  It smells like cotton candy.  It is the perfect shade for me.

 

The serum is really oily so I am not sure how it will work on my skin type.  I used to have really oily skin but now it is combination and has been very dry on my cheeks.  The serum is supposed to deliver deep hydration and essential nutrients to help rebuild skin structure from inside out.  I applied some tonight so we will see how my skin feels in the morning. 

 

 I love this month's Julep box!

Weekly Update (November 11-17)

Again I am way behind on my weekly updates.  I am making a change for the positive.   I have designated Monday’s as blogging day.  Some of my favorite bloggers have designated days for posting.  Since I like to do a weekly update I thought Monday would be perfect.  I am also going to add some fun posts similar to a couple of my favorite bloggers and youtube personalities.  See links below.  I am not trying to copy them but I love the ideas they present so they will be very similar.  So today I will have several posts that I will be uploading.  For now the weekly update.

Health, Happiness and a Hug

We have had a lot of sickness at our home the last two months well actually the last two years to be exact.  I am sending the sickness vibes to someone else because we do not want them at our house anymore.  We would like several years of health for a change.

My niece Ella gives the best hugs.  On Sunday I was having a really tough day and they just happened to stop by after church.  She came running up to me and gave me a huge hug.  It was exactly what I needed.  She is just full of sunshine and happiness. 

Lisa’s Top 10 List

I ran across a fun blog post the other day on www.morganizewithme.com. She has a post about organizing your life and the 10 things you should do.  I am trying to get my life in order right now because the clutter and stress has taken over.  It is time for me to gain control again.  Thankfully there are several wonderful women out there that have fabulous websites that have been helping me. This is my top 10 list inspired by the list on the blog above.

1.       Simplify

2.       Exercise and eat clean

3.       Learn to say no

4.       Routines are my friend

5.       Everything in its place

6.       An attitude of gratitude

7.       The Secret

8.       Keep one calendar ( I borrowed that one from the list)

9.       Daily Scripture study

10.   Pray everyday

 

Hang in there...
