Surprise!

I was going to write a post yesterday about how I was 37 weeks a long in my pregnancy. Then last night I started having really bad contractions. So we came to the hospital and weren't even here for an hour before the baby was born. We named him Austin Kole. He was 6lbs 1oz and 18.5in. I will post more about him later:)

My 4th Of July!

Well we didn't do much so this won't be as exciting as I had hoped. We went to family's and ate and Mike and Jered went swimming. Then we went to watch fireworks. Jered did not like swimming very much. He wanted to get out of the pool after a few minutes. As you can see he wasn't very happy.

I also did 4th of July nails. Jered fell asleep eating:p Now for the fireworks. The last one I got with lightning in the background. It started sprinkling once the fireworks started.

Well that's all for now. I have a couple more posts coming in the next few days so watch for those!

Influenster Sunkissed Voxbox.

Awhile ago I signed up for Influenster. What you do is take surveys based on your interests and also write reviews on products, stores, etc. The more active you are on the site, the better chance you have to qualify for a voxbox. Not everybody qualifies.

I was happy when I qualified for this voxbox. I wanted it to come in the mail already! And then it came! First in the box was Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles. I'm not sure when I'll be able to use these as I don't think my pregnant feet will fit into heels. I will probably try them with another pair of shoes though.

Next up is the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream. I was excited to get this because I had been thinking about buying it.

Next up are the Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics. I have been wanting to buy these ribbon elastics since I have heard amazing things about them. As you can see in the picture I have already used a couple. So far I love them! They didn't leave that annoying bump you get from regular elastics. They are also so cute!

Last is this Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Royal Flush. I honestly was too thrilled about the color when I opened the box. I'm not one to say no to nail polish though. And I'm excited to try this certain Sinful Colors line.

That's it for now. I will be reviewing these products. Well, most of them atleast..

*I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream.

Today I'll be talking about the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream that I got in my VoxBox. If you'd like to see everything that I got in my VoxBox you can go here.

So this BB cream says it has Six Skin Perfecting Benefits:
Refreshens
Brightens
Evens Tone
Hydrates
Smoothes
Protects.

I personally love the packaging. It's so cute!

Here are some swatches. It looks a little light but that's okay. I've used this as moisturizer a couple of times and it made my foundation look pretty good.

This product is available at most drugstores. It comes in fair to light and light to medium. However, if you wanted, you could get it here or here.

That's all I have to say for now so stay tuned for more!

One Year Old!

So on May 26th my amazing son turned one! It seriously feels like just yesterday we were at the hospital. Time sure flies!

Jered's birthday party was the day before his actual birthday. I was so excited and hoped nothing went wrong...but of course something did. When Mike went to pick up the cake he called me and said that they spelled Jered wrong. I understand that his name isn't spelled a normal way but I wrote down his name. Like really?! It related ticked me off. Then once we got to the park we noticed that there was a hair on the cake..a hair! Ugh. Anyways. We called and complained and will get a refund.

Everything else went pretty smoothly. We had a volleyball net set up, there was a playground right next to us and tennis courts and basketball courts. I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted. I didn't think I would be so busy. We served subs with potato salads, and chips. Then we also had a cotton candy machine and snow cone machine thanks to my grandma. We got a plain white cake with baseball decorations for everyone. For Jered I made him a baseball cake. He wouldn't touch the cake at first. Until we gave him a fork. He didn't have much but it's okay:) Next came the presents. I didn't get pictures of everything he got. The drum set he plays and it's so cute! Mike and I got him crayons, a coloring book, a dry erase board, dry erase crayons, and a baseball mit with a baseball and a football.

It was a very stressful week leading up to the party but it was all worth it:)

E.l.f. Haul

So last week I ordered some stuff from e.l.f. This is everything I got. A couple of things are for my sister and then the rest are for me. I was excited once the package got here. I've been wanting to try these products for awhile now. So here we go. These were the first things in the box. The colors are (from left to right) Teal Blue, Desert Haze, and Mint Cream. I am so excited about these colors. I want to use them already! But I just painted my nails yesterday. Now onto the other things. This is what everything else came in. I got one of these for me, and one for my sister. Well see how these are. Then this. I've seen this at target and decided to buy it. I dont know how well it's going to work. It was only $1 so it doesn't hurt to try. I will be very happy if this zit zapper works though because I've been getting random zits lately. This I'm also excited to try. My cuticles get very dry. I am really really hoping this works. This is another thing for my sister. She doesn't really need mascara but I figured this one seemed fine since it has regular and waterproof. I didn't know that they made this eyelash curler in white. I've only seen it in black. I honestly like it in white. I want to buy another one now since this one is for my sister. I always need concealer. Well, not always, but I like trying different ones. I've seen mixed reviews about this so I thought i'd just try it out for myself. After buying elf's powder brush I really wanted to try their stippling brush. Target only had the small one so I had to get this one online.. Now this. I have heard/read SO many great reviews about this powder. I am so happy I decided to get it and I can't wait to use it! This was kind of a last minute purchase. It seemed nice so I thought I'd buy it and give it a go I love the packaging also. Its cute ha. This is the last thing I got. I've never used a getting spray. So we'll see how I like this one!

That's it for now. After I try all of these I might do a review on a few. Which would you like to see a review on? Let me know in a comment.

This weekend is Jered's first birthday party. We're just doing a real simple baseball themed party. Sort of. Mainly just red and white with a little blue. I am so excited. Jered also started walking a few days ago:) He's getting so big!

That's it for this post. My next post might either be a review or a post about Jered's party..

Nails!

So, you might not know, but I love nail polish. Like really. Mike gets mad at how much I have. Even though I don't have much (around 40 bottles maybe.) Anyway. I wanted to show you my nails:)

This picture is with somewhat cloudy natural light. This one is with light right before sunset. This picture is more of what the color looks like. The color I used is Sinful Colors Candy Coated. Which I got here. I am absolutely in love with this color, its the perfect spring/summer shade. I'm afraid to use it because I don't want to run out and I haven't seen it anywhere in awhile. If I find it again I will most likely buy it.

This polish isn't too bad, as far as formula goes. I used about three coats. Some of the Sinful Colors polished have a thick formula which gets goopy. Don't get me wrong though, thy have great colors. They aren't that expensive either so it's almost a win win. I have about ten or so of their polishes.

The glitter on my ring finger is an L.A. Colors polish. I don't know the exact name of it at the moment. I used maybe four coats? It was only a dollar so I'm not complaining. That's it for now. :) Have a good day/night!
