Speak o' the devil! J'Adore time, y'all!

It came!! My J'Adore Voxbox from Influenster. :)


It's so dang big!


I got the email with tracking info on this baby about an hour go. 20 minutes later, the box was at my door. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! And on Valentines Day no less! W00t!

So many goodies!! I cannot freakin' WAIT to try this stuff. I need to do my unboxing video (even though I already opened it) so I can't use anything til I do that. Womp. But I'm still so dang excited! Woohoo!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day. Plus write some more stuff.

I'm REALLY hoping to get my J'Adore Voxbox from Influenster today. It would be the ultimate freebie gift on this day. There are some AMAZING products in this box, and I've counted about 6 items in there so far. Flat iron spray, hershey kisses, false eyelashes, clay face mask stuff, tea, and some mens spray lotion. So exciting!! C'mon mailman!

BES had a free dress down day today, so Rizz got to wear her Valentines Day attire. She looked so cute. They're having an early dismissal today, so I hope it doesn't interfere with the parties at school, and hopefully she got to pass out all her valentines. Unfortunately she'll be gone for the weekend, but I'll get to spend most of  Valentines Day with her.

Also, today is my younger sister's birthday. Happy 21st Birthday, Casey! I hope you and Addie have a great day together!

Normally I go to my mom's every Friday to do laundry and come back home on Saturday. However, I will be staying home tonight to spend V-Day with the bf. Redbox, Left 4 dead, and fancy dip. Ohh yeah.

So I'm convinced that I am unable to use mascara. It just doesn't work on me. I've tried to apply it twice now, and used two different kinds, and it's just not for me. My damn eyelashes are entirely too long, and almost reach above my eyebrows with that mascara on..so it's like they stab my eyebrows. It's weird. And it's really good quality mascara..I just can't do it. It's the mascara that I got in my Rimmel Brand Badge prize box, and I hate that I can't use it cuz it's really a big deal to get it. So I'll probably give it to Casey. She's an expert on that shit.

So Rizz will be home at around 3, then we leave when TJ gets home at 5:30. I packed her bag already, and I pray that it will suffice for the weekend. Someone always has something to say about what I pack and that I should let her pack her own bag. If I were to let her pack her own bag, she'd pack the cocktail dress they bought her and a swim suit or a leotard. But it's whatever. I just hope she has a good time.

That's all for today unless I get something big in the mail. Til then..

Eat up y'all!

Mombie.

I. Am so. Tired.

Last night I didn't end up going to bed until after midnight, because I was waiting for Jazzy to go to sleep. Everyone else is knocked out early, but he's the night owl, and I don't like to go to bed until he's asleep. So once I did, it took me forever to actually fall asleep. Couldn't turn my brain off.

Then, at 3am, the boy wakes up and comes into my bedroom puking everywhere. Just one spew after the other. Covered my sheets, blanket, and one of TJ's pillows. It smelled like the popcorn he had as a snack before bedtime, which is a different brand than we normally get, so I'm gonna blame that crappy popcorn.

So once the puking subsided I get up, put him in the tub, get him cleaned up, then out and re-dressed, and then back to bed. After that, I had to take all the sheets and whatnot off the bed. By this time it was well after 4 am. I'm grouchy. I'm saying stuff that I dont mean. Mostly just calling TJ a diva for not helping me with the puke mess because he's freaking out that it may have gotten on his arm.

Then around 4:30, I lay back down. The only blanket we have is the one I made and it's only big enough for me..but somehow, TJ and I both fit under it. Barely.

We didn't sleep much after that, and had to get right back up at 7. School was running on a 2 hour delay, so Brody had time to eat a big breakfast, take a bath, and play for about an hour. Jazz wont be taking a nap, so neither will I. I desperately need a shower, but I dont see myself being able to stay up long enough to take one tonight. I have entirely too much shit to do, and shouldn't even be sitting here typing this, but it's all I feel like doing at the moment. The living room looks like a tornado of tortilla chips, foam puzzle pieces, and toy trains hit it. And of course there's the random sock and pair of pants.

Dinner is a mystery. I might think of something after I have another 4 cups of coffee. Jazz needs a haircut, but it's too cold to do it now. He looks like Julius Caesar with a bad case of bed head. Lol.

I'm out.

Traffic Jam

Wow.

I really appreciate all the traffic to my blog due to the fact that I mentioned getting the pre-qualification survey for the Influenster J'Adore Voxbox, and TONS of people are googling it for hints. I got the email today that said I would definitely be getting it. I'm anxiously waiting for the tracking number. They've been giving hints out on facebook, and so far there's some John Freda stuff for your hair. It's some kind of straightening serum I think. I can't wait to try that for sure, because my hair is SO wavy, and I never have time to straighten it..so I kinda have to just work with the waves. Lol.

I got some decent mail today. Some Tums Refreshers, SEVERAL awesome Kroger coupons, and some paint swatches. I think I found the color I need to touch up all the spots in my bathroom, plus all the little nicks around the apartment. All the walls are the same color, and unfortunately I can't paint them a different color.

By the way, I acquired a small piece of canvas/mesh type stuff to make a rag rug like the one featured here. I'd really like to buy some scrap fabric, or even some fat quarters, but cotton seems to fray really easily, so I'll probably just use some of the leftover fleece I have from a previous blanket. The only bad part is that it's all yellow..and I'm not that big of a fan of yellow. I thought about using it as a bath mat in my bathroom because it'd go with the suns and stars on my shower curtain, but fleece isn't all that absorbent. Idk. I'll probably go ahead and do it, learn from it, and do it up better the next time.

That's it, kids. I've got last night's episode of the walking dead loading, and I'm gonna watch what I can (IF I can).

Eat up, y'all!

Friday Mail Haul

I got some good mail today! I wasn't expecting to get my PinchMe box so soon since the other ones I've gotten took so long, but mine was waiting for me today. :) AND it was all the samples I requested. None were missing! However, the coffee was busted, so there was coffee powder all over everything in the box.



This is the second time I've gotten a Montagne Jeunesse mask in the mail, free! The other one was from Influenster. I can't wait to try this one! And I love the mini lotion. It's nice to not have to squeeze it out of a flat packet. 

I also got a sample of Oxytrol For Women. It's for overactive bladder. I don't really suffer from that, I just wanted the sample. 



It's a full size sample, with 4 patches inside. Dang!



BzzAgent Kroger TimeSaver BzzCampaign.

As I mentioned before, I was selected for the Kroger TimeSaver Bzzcampaign. In my BzzKit, I received Five (5) high value coupons for laundry detergent, facial tissue, bath tissue, a cleaning product, and paper towels; a shopping bag with a beautiful design of berries and water splashing, and several sets of $2 off coupons for those same products to pass out to friends and family.



The campaign was launched for those who do more than just food shopping at Kroger, and it was meant to help you 'save time' (and money!) while shopping for non-food items.

Since all the items are in the same vicinity (within a two-aisle radius) it wasn't hard to save time getting these items. The only thing that took a long time was deciding which products to buy. With the coupons, I had decided to get some pricier items, and just pay the difference. It didn't cost much more than what I usually spend, except I got better quality and larger quantity products this time.

This is my haul. I saved $22 and spent only about half of what all of it costs without coupons.


I'm not quite done Bzzing about it, and my BzzScore is up to 8.0 (woohoo!!), so once I complete some more of the activities, it'll go up more. I have to Bzz about it on social media, and in person so hopefully I can find enough people to talk to. I know for sure I'll be giving some of the extra coupons to my mom and my sister. If anyone is interested in a sheet of $2 coupons, please leave a comment and let me know. I can always mail them to you. 

Eat up, y'all!
