So many happenings!

It feels like months since I've blogged. Hell, it may have been. All I know is that a TON of things are going on right now. Let's break it down.

I was recently chosen to participate in the BzzAgent Nasacort 24 hour allergy program. I got my Bzzkit, and got a full size Nasacort 24 hour allergy nasal spray with 120 sprays, several coupons, and brochures to hand out to friends and family. Unfortunately, BzzAgent closed the campaign just a couple days after it started, so there's nothing really to Bzz about. I don't care much for the Nasacort, and it just can't hold a candle to Nasonex. I'll share a photo anyway, though.

It was nice knowin' ya, Nasacort.

Some of you may have signed up to receive a chalice from Stella Artois back in December. I got an email Christmas even saying I would be getting one. I've waited 3 loooong months for that thing, and it finally came last week. I luuurve it!! 

It's beautiful!!! I probably won't ever drink out of it though. 

Moving on..

The Violet Voxbox from Influenster has long been over, and I've been waiting to see if I won any of the brand badge prizes. Well, I DID!!! I was chosen as a SoyJoy brand badge winner (out of 20 people!!) so I got one HELL of a prize. It's so freakin cool!

I got a reusable grocery bag, an apron, two boxes of soyjoy bars, a winter hat, a HUGE water bottle, a keychain, coupons, and a nice letter from SoyJoy. How bout them apples??

Sometimes on Mondays, Marlboro has amazing freebies. You have to be there right at 9am to snag them though. I was lucky enough to snag this gem. :)

It's a 3-in-one flashlight.

There's a compass.

A removable LED flashlight.

And a match stick holder with a striker on the inside.

REALLY freakin impressive. :)

Last week we learned that TJ's income tax return had been deposited. Know what we did first? Went to Lowe's to buy a brand new washer and dryer set. That's right. No more driving to Louisville to do laundry anymore. I cannot accurately describe the excitement. Lol. This past Monday, they were delivered right to my laundry room. I swear, I couldn't be happier. This is my very first set that actually belong to me, and they're brand new! 

Yes, it's cramped in there. The laundry room was poorly built. But they work, and that's all that matters to me. I've done about 10 loads, and with each one comes a huge smile. It's sad how happy it makes me. Lol. 

Also, I got a new phone!! TJ bought it for me, but I have promised to pay him back. It's a ZTE Source, and I FREAKING LOVE IT. It's not a samsung, or an iphone, but it does all the same things those do. And it's got plenty of space on it for all the apps I need. Plus, I got candy crush on there. Heheheeee!! My old phone was literally on life support. It wouldn't even stay on unless it was plugged in. Plus there was little to no space for apps, and it didn't even support most apps anyway. So it was definitely a much needed upgtade. 

I've customized it since then, so the wallpaper doesn't look like this anymore. It has so many features, and it even has mobile hotspot, so when the neighbors don't pay their internet bill, I can still be connected. Hehe. 

I've been invited to two new BzzCampaigns this week. The Quaker Warm and Crunchy Granola BzzCampaign, and the Starbucks Blonde Roast BzzCampaign. I am so excited about this! I checked the shipments, and my oatmeal is already on it's way. This is gonna be some good Bzz'n!

That's all for now folks. I have a ton of stuff to upload on social media sites, and very little time to do it. Plus we have to go shopping tonight for Jazzy's birthday presents. He's turning three Sunday, but we're partying it up tomorrow because the weather is gonna be nicer. TGIF!!!

Eat up, y'all!

Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask

As you all know, I got the J'adore VoxBox from Influenster. In it, I received Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask. I really really liked it. 

It was really watery when I opened it, but after massaging the tube to get the ingredients back together, the consistency was fine.
I applied the mask, which covered my face really well and I didn't have to use a ton of it to feel like I had enough on there. It started out as dark green, but faded to light green once it dried. At one point, I looked like I was going into battle! It was an interesting look for me to say the least.

While it dried, I could really feel it tighten up on my face and it started to crack a little if I moved my face too much. I still felt the cooling sensation the same as I did when I first applied the mask, which was nice.

Once I rinsed the mask off and dried my face, my skin felt so soft! It really feels cleansed and blemish-free! It doesn't feel tight or dry at all. Just clean, moisturized, and super soft.

It does look like camo face paint. Lol.

In order to maximize the rejuvenating experience, I suggest doing this after your duties are done for the day, and/or when your children are in bed for the night. Get your mask on, light some scented candles, put on some relaxing music (I always choose The Cranberries), and get some cucumber slices for your eyes. Lay back in bed, and let yourself go wherever your mind takes you.  

If you have the means, I highly recommend buying it. I've used it twice and it makes my skin feel amazing. 

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
