Influenster VoxBox: Soft Soap Coconut Scrub

Oh SoftSoap Coconut Scrub how I love you!

My once again winter attacked skin feels soft and moisturized!

Straight from the website:

The gentle smoothing you love in a body wash, now available in bar form! Enriched with crushed coconut extract and gentle exfoliants to reveal soft, smooth skin. Lush tropical fragrance — no passport required.

My thought:

I have always used liquid body washes because every bar soap I use dries up my skin so badly that it peels and itches.

Well SoftSoap your formula does rock my socks!

There are gentle exfoliants in the bar that aren't harsh on skin and the divine smell is tropical, coconut, and sweet all at once.

I got TWO yes I said TWO bars in my Influenster VoxBox and that was generous because these  will last a long time because it is in bar form!

I love this barsoap (I want to try the other varieties as well).

My thought:

As you can see its creamy and whipped!

There are fresh crushed strawberries in this so there are seeds in there.

When you wash this off your face the seeds can be used as an exfoliant which my face needs and it worked wonders.

The smell was beyond amazing like fresh strawberrys picked from a field!

Here is a picture of me with the mask on my face. I left it on for 20 minutes and enjoyed every minute. As soon as I took it off my face was so super smooth and super soft. All my blackheads were off my nose (Geez I hate those blackheads)

and my skin was moisturized just from the mask.

My dull and peeling winter attacked skin felt NORMAL again!

Influenster VoxBox: Mentos Gum Review

I recieved one of these in my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster.

I really do love this mentos gum it refreshes, wakes me up, and its strong which I love!

There are always times when you need awake me up or a mint to freshen breath.

I have two adorable kids and they keep me busy so having these in a diaper bag assures me that I have this to look forward to when by breath isn't the best after a meal or when I am falling asleep and I need something to wake me up other then coffee!!!!

It has a hard surface a soft inner and some green tea extract in the middle is an amazing mixture!

As they state on their website "Pure breath and intense freshness."

I couldn't agree less. These are available everywhere. I go out quite often and I have seen them at every store I have been to so if you see them I recommend to grab one and enjoy!

New Years is coming up you know you need some of this in your purse, pocket, or anywhere else you stash your things for your "at midnight" kiss!

I will be asleep most likely but either way I do enjoy these daily!

Almost time for me to get another one!

Missing in Action

I know I haven't blogged in wayyyyy over a month. I've been pretty busy due to having two kids and both being sick on and off for a little while. Also some personal issues have kept me away. But no fear I am back and I will blog more often I PROMISE. Yes that is my son the chunky monkey. I know I had some religous followers to this blog and since I stopped blogging they went. Now I hope to regain my followers. Let's start on a good note!

My daughter "Mastered" everything in her class which is amazing and I am so proud.

My son is growing and growing and just amazing.

I will be posting a Crock Pot Beef Stew Recipe soon!

Strength Exercises for baby!

My son is 2 months and 24 days!

I do exercises with him daily to gain his head strength. 

He can already stand with help his legs are so strong! 

Here are the head exercises!

I always use a pillow as a prop. It does help them a little bit more. They don't have to strain as much but still get the same amount of support as without the pillow.

The gas hold. Famous for helping gas and colic and also famous for head strength. 

Letting them lay stomach down with their head after the knee. You can do this and support the head at the same time with your hands until they can fully hold well. 

Holding them on your legs and holding their chest while leaning them a bit forward.

You can do this step before the previous one. To cold the chest and back to head. This one helps for a baby with mild head strength.

I carry my son around like this all around the house. It helps his head strength a whole lot. Plus they get a full view of what we see as well.

That is all I leave you with this cute picture of my son.

Head strength takes time and tummy time helps a lot. Sadly my son hates tummy time so I found that all these ways worked better for me and now he can hold his head on his own.

I hope this helps the tummy time trauma.

Mommy Makeup Review

I love makeup. I recently found my HOLY GRAIL foundation!!!!!

I was hesitant to try a new foundation because I have sensitive skin but this is wonderful!

These are now the products I can't live without.

Maybelline FITme! Foundation: I am shade 130. I love that this has SPF 18. This is better for people with dry to combination skin. It's blend able and leaves your face super super soft and leaves my face flawless. I purchased it for $6.49. I apply with my fingers it looks a lot better. I wish it had a pump! Provides medium coverage you can add more to gain full coverage.

Maybelline FITme! Blush: I have the Light Mauve one. This works as a blush/bronzer for me since it has a pink and brown tone to it so it works as two products! I just hate the brush it comes with. Purchased for $4.99.

Maybelline FITme! Concealer: I use the shade medium and this is a great concealer covers my dark circles (which I have a lot of due to lack of sleep)

Purchased for $5.49. A little goes a long way.

ELF Liquid Eyeliner: I purchased the color Coffee. I love using brown liner it isn't as harsh as black. This does stick pretty well on its own and doesn't flake. I just wish it was waterproof.

Anastasia Brow~Wiz: To fill in my eyebrows. I use the brunette shade. This stays on all day and all night and I love it so much! I purchased it at Sephora for $20 I use it almost daily for about a year and still haven't had to purchase a new one yet!

Urban Decay Primer Potion (EDEN): I love this it conceals the lid, primes, and keeps my eye lids oil free! They no longer sell it in this form now they sell it in a squeeze tube for $19 at Sephora. It lasts a very long time and I would recommend anyone that wears eyeshadow or eyeliner to use this to prevent smudging or wear off. It also makes eyeshadows POP even more. 

I hope that this helps anyone looking for some holy grail. This is my holy grail it may not be yours. Everyone skin is different so please keep that in mind.

I have dry skin and oily eyelids (sounds gross), and sensitive skin and these products have worked for me.
