Favorites

So lately I have been trying out a lot of new products, which I love, so I thought I would share some of them, so are new, some are old but all are favorites. Some of the products I talk about like the eyeliner I have had for a while but other things like the in-shower lotion is a new find and a fast favorite. I love hearing about other peoples favorites because there is always a least one item that you haven't heard of and your like hmm I'll have to keep that on the list and try that some time, so anyway I hope you enjoy and maybe find something that you haven't heard of that you might want to try.

Planning

So today I decided to check out what all the buzz was about concerning all this Erin Condren planners, stickers etc, yea needless to say I get it. I had a coupon code for their items and I was like oh well I will just look I mean I'm not actually going to use it, then I saw the planners that you could custom with your own pictures, and then I saw that they already had a sale going on, and then I remembered my coupon, and then I started picking out pictures. So you see where this is going, fortunately my husband is very organized and love lists and planners so he thought it was a great idea, to him there is no such thing as too much organization, so here I am now, order completed and wanting ice cream. I know weird combination but that's how I roll. In case you want to be like me and check out what all the hype is I have a coupon code for you so I will not be the only sucked in. :)

Snacks AKA How I get my kids to eat healthy

So like any mom I am always trying to get my kids to eat healthy and of course my goal is not that they eat it but that they like it and that it tastes good, I know high aspirations right? Although I have had some successes with dinners, I have found my highest success comes with snacks, I think it helps though that the preconceived notion the kids have for snacks is that they taste good and they are a treat, so I have been using that to my advantage of course. So along with making various types of granola and smoothies lately I have been utilizing our new snack subscription box, UrthBox. It is a monthly box that specializes in healthy snacks that are supposed to taste good, I was a little wary at first but I have to say the claim is true and my kids ate almost the whole box themselves, little do they that they are consuming healthy yummies, such as roasted seaweed, quinoa bars etc. So this video gives a sample of the kinds of things UrthBox has and some of the things my hubby and I have been loving as well. Speaking of snacks we are actually out now so guess who has to make some more? Yep, that's me, so I'm off to replenish our supply, hope you enjoy and get some new ideas to try.

Thred-UP

So lately I have been exploring the world of online shopping and I have to say, I have been LOVING it!! So recently I discovered the site Thred-UP, which is basically an online consignment store which seems to specialize in more higher end clothing, like Anne Taylor, Michael Kors, BCBG, etc, they have women's clothing, shoes, purses and children's clothing. So in the past three months I have made about three purchases and I have been impressed with what I have bought, it says it is gently used clothing but most of the clothing and shoes I have gotten look like they are brand new. Also the prices are very reasonable, easily comparable to like Marshalls or TJMaxx, which are good stores but the benefit of online is you don't have to search it is already pre-sorted which I really appreciate. So this just gives a sample of the kind of clothing Thred-UP has, lately I have gotten rid of about at least 80% of my clothing, it was time, I'm done being pregnant and a lot of the clothes I got when I was a teenager, so it has really been helping me rebuild my adult wardrobe. Wow! That is so weird saying that, adult wardrobe, woo hoo! Hahaha. Well I'm off, Little Elf wants to sit with me, gotta steal that moment while I can!! :)
