Weekend shopping haul!

So this weekend an old friend of mine and I decided to catch up and do some shopping while we were at it!  

We had originally planned to hit the outlets in CT but the temps for today were only supposed to hit 45 and that's much too cold to walk around outside in my opinion. So we opted for the mall and target instead. 

I went a bit MK crazy at Nordstrom rack but it's ok bc everything I bought were things I almost paid full price for a couple months ago! 

I ended up buying two michael kors wristlets one in black and the other in almost a blue purple color (blurple as I love to call it) both were originally $68 but I paid only $39 a piece. I also got a black signature print iPad case which was $158 originally but I paid $79.97 for it. 

The cute grey lounge pants are from target but I put them with my accessories anyway. They're mossimo brand and were $19.99. 

Of course I had to go to bath and body works too and buy stuff so I bought the hand soaps which were 5/$15, a lotion (twisted peppermint), a candle (in marshmallow something) and a candle sleeve (candle and sleeve not pictured since they're currently in use). 

I love the hand soaps at b&bw because they don't dry my hands out. I ended up only buying winter scents like winter cranberry, candy cane bliss, iced gingerbread, and crisp golden pear.  They all smell so good!  

At target I also bought new salt and pepper grinder set and a pretty new two tier fruit stand ! I love them both !  Oh and a butter dish but that's in the dishwasher already.

A few years ago, when I was a pregnant with my daughter, I had to stay home on bed rest.  I ended up being terribly sick and had to quit my job.

That was when my blogging and making money from home began.  I tried many different ventures, and while I'm no millionaire, I definitely do not worry about living paycheck to paycheck anymore.

I only wish THIS website had been around back then because it would have definitely made me more money than I had been at the time!

May Julep Maven Box!

Yesterday I received my May julep maven box and I have to say I haven't been this excited about a julep subscription box in a long time!

My style profile is modern beauty and I am SO happy they changed it to only beauty products simply because I honestly haven't used a single polish I received from them.

So here is what came in my box this month:

Flower hair pins
New York lipstick trio in:
tea for two {sheer nude, right} satin doll {sheer poppy, middle} and lady in red {matte red cream, left}
Brown sugar lip scrub
Volumizing mascara in jet black

I am OBSESSED with this box it's so fun the packaging is gorgeous and so girly with an amazing vintage feel. The gold tone is gorgeous I could actually picture my grandmother displaying these on her vanity!

DIY Glitter champagne flutes

So as some of you may know, I recently got engaged. I tried to not be the crazy-right-away-have-to-plan-my-wedding bride but it's not working for me lol. Though I don't have much planned (or anything really), I have been looking for some small things like toasting flutes.

Of course me being drawn to anything sparkly I really love the Swarovski crystalline toasting flutes but they're $425 or around there. YIKES.

So in search of a cheaper but still beautiful option I hopped on Pinterest and found DIY glitter glasses! Normally I would post the steps but I forgot to take step by step pictures.

So pictured are my two practice glasses and I will definitely be making more!

AMAZING Survey Site! THIS ONE ROCKS!

I am constantly surfing the internet looking for new survey sites and ways to make money online.  Last week I came across a new site and I have fallen in love with it!

TellWut is an awesome survey site!  It's more like a paid poll website.  The surveys are only a few EASY questions long and there are no qualifiers.  Everyone qualifies for every survey!  

If you are like me, sick and tired of spending 20 minutes on a survey only to find out you were disqualified, this is the site for you! 

Plus, everyone can create their own surveys!  If we all create a few surveys, we can all keep earning points all the time!  Today alone I earned 1005 points!  The best part is, a $10 amazon gift card is only 4000 points!! 

Hello!?  This site is a NOOOOO brainer!! 

Check it out by CLICKING HERE !! You won't regret it, I promise!

Sweetheart VoxBox

Recently when I was browsing the internet looking for new monthly subscription boxes, I came across a new box program.  

Enter Influenster .  Influenster is a different sort of monthly box program.  Every box is 100% free, however you do have to qualify for a box based on your social media presence.  The higher your score and more active you are, the better your chances of qualifying for a box.  

I signed up January, 2013 and received my first box today! Here's a picture of what came in my box! 

I received:

1. Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid Powered Contour Cleansing System
2. Olay Fresh Effects Shine, Shine go away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser
3. Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response
4. Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bars 
5. Not your Mothers Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray 

This is definitely an awesome box to receive for free!  As I try the products I will review them all on here! 

I think I am most excited to use the Not Your Mothers sea salt spray!  My hair is naturally wavy and I am trying not to heat style my hair as much as I have been so this may be the perfect solution!  We shall seeeee!
