Sorry For Being M.I.A.

Hey readers! I am so sorry for being M.I.A. lately. I've been kind of mind blank and had no idea what to write about. I don't want my blog to just be reviews, but I can't think of much other to do. Any ideas? I'm open for anything. I am thinking about sharing my flea market finds and maybe cute outfit ideas that can be found for cheap. Please feel free to drop some ideas below!

Acquapura Personal Water Filter Straw Review

Acquapura Personal Water Filter Straw

I do a lot of hiking with my boyfriend. Just about every weekend we go on some type of adventure into the woods or at a state park. It's normally an all day thing, he likes to be on the go 24/7. I never bring enough water with me & I was always worried about drinking lake or creek water. Towards the end, I would get cranky because I would be thirsty from being stubborn. 

This straw has been a life saver! You can use the straw directly in the water, but I collect it in the water bottle and attach it to the bottle.

My water bottle didn't screw onto the straw, but it may just have been my bottle. The water tasted fresh when drinking thru it. It's not heavy at all & fits into a backpack without taking up much room. It also comes with extra filters. Some plastic things that I've drank from has given water a funky taste, but this doesn't. I found it very easy to use, the instructions were not confusing at all. If you like to camp or go on hikes, this is great to carry with you.

Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil Review

Today I am going to share with you the new cleansing oil by Neutrogena. I've been using their face washes for years, so I had no problem trying out a new one. I had heard of cleansing oil on some social media sites, but I hadn't come across any in any stores. I was a little hesitant on trying a cleansing oil since I do have somewhat oily skin.

I am so happy I tried it! I love the scent. It's hard to describe, but it's nice. It left my skin feeling soft & clean feeling. It did not leave my skin feeling oily at at. While using it, it's like I can feel it getting the dirt & makeup off my face. It comes out of the bottle clear & you do not add water or wet your face first. After you massage it in, then you add water which will turn it a pale milky blue. I like this part because I know when I get all of it off. I've had times where I've missed a spot with other face wash & have to go back & wipe it off.

I have been using this cleansing oil for about 3 weeks. I am very happy with it. Since using it, I think my skin has become softer. My skin doesn't feel stripped afterwords like it did with other cleansers. It also gets all of my makeup off in one use. If you've been on the fence on trying a cleansing oil, I recommend this one!

Cotton Baby Carrier Review

Today, I have this very cute baby carrier to tell you about! 

This is the first time I have tried out a baby carrier, so I can't compare this to others, but I like this one. It didn't come with any instructions, but I found it easy to use. It can be used in the front or back. The shoulder strap adjust from 24-44 inches & the waist strap adjust from 25-55 inches. I love the little hood that is attached to it. It snaps onto the shoulder straps to hold it in place to protect the baby's head. If you are not using the hood, you can tuck it into the pocket on the carrier. 

It's made of cotton which makes it breathable. I thought it was very comfy. The straps did't dig into my shoulders. The straps around the waist didn't cause any discomfort. I tried it out for several hours over the weekend & it was pretty warm. We both stayed comfortable. I do wish it mad a few extra pockets to tuck a few items in. I haven't tried using in the backpack form yet. Overall, I am happy with this carrier and would recommend this to others. You can purchase your very own on Amazon!

Since I think the color would work for a girl or boy, I think this would make a great gift even if the gender is not known. It looks maroon in my photo, but it is a dark red in person. The hood has a vine like design on it in tan colors. If you have any questions, please ask below & I will try my best to answer.

Target Beauty Box, Honor Roll Review

Hello! This time I am going to share the "Honor Roll" beauty box from Target. Out of the two boxes, this one was my favorite. This box was also only $5.

This one also came in a black box with a lid. This one is taller then the "Head Of The Class" box.

Everything included in the box. (Sorry for the flash, I'm still learning with my camera.)

Bathery Delicate Pouf

John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7-Day Treatment

Olay White Strawberry Body Wash

NYX Butter Gloss Strawberry Parfait

Goody Ouchless Elastics

CoverGirl Outlast All-Day Primer

Burt's Bees White Tea Facial Wipes

Purple is my favorite color, so I lucked out there! I'm excited to try out everything in this box. I will do a review on the primer, I have been wanting to try it, but that alone was over $9 at Target. 

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to come back soon!

Cheap and Easy D.I.Y. Wall Art.

Looking for another cheap way to dress up you walls? A while back ago, I shared this idea. This time we are using cute gift bags from the Dollar Tree!

All you need is a fun gift bag & a frame. I bought a 5 pack of certificate frames at Walmart.

Cut the front side of the bag to fit the cardboard that fits into the frame.

Fold over the sides and secure with packing tape.

Put the cardboard into the frame & then put the back of the frame on & tada! New art for you walls. This idea can work in any room. Change them out for the holidays. Perfect idea for kids or teens that like to change their room a lot. You can also use old t-shirts & follow the same instructions. If you need any help, please feel free to ask!

Target Beauty Box, Head of The Class Review

Welcome lovely readers! I'm going to be sharing the "Head Of The Class" beauty box from Target. There were 7 items included in this box for only $5! They also had another box called the "Honor Roll" box, which I will be sharing in the next post. 

Everything came packed in this cute black box with a lid which can be reused to hold just about anything.

An introduction card that tells what all is in the box along with a coupon to use on beauty items at Target.

All of the items included.

Goody Ouchless Elastics

Bathery Pumice Stone

Hollywood Fashion Tape

CoverGirl Colorlicious Lip Gloss

Wet N Wild Max Volume Plus Mascara

Herbal Essences Wild Naturals Illuminating Dry Oil Spray

Yes To Cucumbers 10-Count Wipes

For $5, I couldn't pass it up. I have tried the lip gloss and it's a nice screen pale pink with tiny gold specks & should work on any skin tone. If you haven't heard of the Target beauty boxes, they have them 3 to 4 times a year. They are always worth the price in my opinion. Nouveaucheap is a good blog to follow to find out when the boxes are out. I will be posting the "Honor Roll" box soon!
