Brazil Butt Lift and 5K

So, I just purchased the Brazil Butt Lift package from QVC. I'm really excited to start and get some great results. I'm going to do 30 days of the "too big" program and 30 days of the "classic" program. Hopefully I can stick with it and continue to train for my 5k!



That's right...I'm doing a 5K! Super excited for this too, except that I've been experiencing a little shin splint problem which is what derailed my last attempt at running. Will just have to see how it goes. Can't wait for Seattle Color Run!

Time to blog!

I've decided to start a blog about me and thinks I like. I'm on pinterest ALL the time and I figured I might as well blog too. So here I am. My first few blogs will probably be boring and about products I've been trying. Will be pinning and blogging more soon!

Kiss Nail Dress

Product review #3! Another great item from my influenster VoxBox -- (I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes)

Kiss nail dress:I've almost tried some of the similar nail products like the sally's ones but I can't wear nail polish at work (I'm a barista), so it seems kind of silly for me to spend $8-10 for nail stripes. When I got the package I was nearly disappointed until I saw that these you can use on your toe nails!!! OMG I'm so happy. These are cute and I can't wait to get more of these for the summer.
seriously, the sparkly leopard print is calling out to me! I NEED IT!

Here are the details:

Kiss Nail Dress

Fashion That Sticks

Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.

With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.

And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.

Where to Buy

Nail Dress’ suggested retail is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.

Venus & Olay Razor

Product review #2! Gillette Venus & Olay razor. My second item from my influenster VoxBox -- (I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes)

I'll admit I was apprehensive at first about using this product. When these types of razors first came out, with the soap bar/gel thing on them I tried them but to my dismay they fell apart after a couple of uses! I've only used this one once but it looked and felt pretty sturdy.
Things I like:
1. Smelled good and left no residue
2. came with a nifty suction cup holder (just enough to hold the razor at the top of the handle and NOT touch the shower wall)
3. This would be great for traveling because you don't need any shower gel

.... probably will update on this product more after I use it longer.

Check it out at www.gillettevenus.com

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

So, I started getting these awesome packages from influenster.com and here is my product review for Truvia sweetener. (I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program)

1. I love this product. It's sweet without any weird taste or side effect.
2. I will caution that it can be a little gritty if not stirred well.
3. I recommend using it in 0% plain greek yogurt (I like fage or dannon oikos). It magically turns the plain ol' stuff into a sweet, yummy, healthy treat. I also add strawberries to it (sometimes banana or frozen fruit works well too).

I give this product a 5 star rating and will continue to use it. Check out their website here: www.truvia.com
