New Beauty Haul

 Hi, everybody! How was your weekend?

I have a new beauty haul to share with you! Like I mentioned in my last post, its been hectic around here lately, so I haven't purchased too much this time around. Here's what I did get though!

OPI Repair Mode

I received this (and the Nail Envy) complimentary from BzzAgent for review. I feel like these two products actually did help strengthen my nails! My nails have been brittle and prone to breaking lately. However, after using these products for two weeks, my nails feel and look stronger and healthier! They don't break as easily now either. I think these are definitely worth a try.

Dyson Air Wrap Complete Long

This was a gift from my husband and son for Mother's Day. I have been wanting this for a long time, but I hate how much they cost. I never planned on buying one because of how expensive it is. I was shocked when he showed this to me! I've used it a few times since I got it and it is definitely a little bit of a learning curve, but once I figured it out it made curling my hair go by fast. The curls look really nice, but they don't last nearly as long as my curling wand from Nume. That's to be expected though since the Nume wand heats up to something crazy, like 400 degrees. The curls I get with this still look really pretty though and I'm looking forward to trying out all of the other attachments that come with it.

 

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

 

I love this sponge. It's been my favorite for many years. My old one was starting to tear so I picked up a new one.

 

 

That's everything that I bought/received this time! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing week!

Minion Themed 4th Birthday Party

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I know its been a while since my last post. We've been crazy busy around here with work, getting everything ready for our son's birthday, spring cleaning/decluttering, doctor/worker's comp appointments for my husband (it's looking like he's going to need another surgery), a bunch of other birthdays this month, and we recently found out that my husband's step-grandmother will be passing soon. It has been a very hectic and emotional month.

I know its been almost a month already, but I wanted to share everything I did/made for my son's 4th birthday party. He's very much into the minions from Despicable Me right now, so that's what we went with for this year's party theme. I didn't do a lot because it was going to be a very small gathering this year, but here's what I did do!

Minion cake

He insisted on having a cake that was half yellow minion and half purple minion. Trying to get an even, straight line down the middle was such a pain! It isn't perfect, but he loved it so that's all that matters. He told me he wants me to make this again...lol noooo, thank you, child.

Minion balloons

I purchased these off of Amazon. It also came with 3 other small circle balloons and 2 star shaped balloons.

Silly signage

I came across this party rules sign on Pinterest and thought it was perfect, so I printed one out for our party.

Food table

I didn't do too much here within the theme aside from obviously the cake, the yellow and blue plates and napkins etc., the "cookie robots", and the pineapple and blueberry "minion" platter.

That's everything I did this year. Like I said, it was a small party, so I didn't want to do too much this time. We also spent most of the time out in the backyard since it was nice out. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!
