I had the opportunity to receive 30 premium, completely customizable 5×7 flat Mixbook Christmas cards to review.  I had a great time choosing the layout design, photos to use and the text!  It was very easy to use and even allows you to use photos from your facebook or picassa accounts as well as those you have on your computer.

I was given the opportunity to try out the BrytonPick!  I typically don’t floss because it’s very difficult to find a product that doesn’t have flavoring, and therefore artificial sweeteners, in it so I was very excited to give this a try!  It’s a great little item that comes with a pouch so that you can keep it in your pocket or purse and use it anywhere!  It’s reusable for up to 30 days and does a great job!!!

I’ve been invited to try Time4Learning’s online education program for one month in exchange for a candid review. My opinion will be entirely my own, so be sure to come back and read about my experience! Find out how to write your own curriculum review.

I was thrilled to receive an autographed copy of The Catasy from the author Rexanne Mancini.  Rexanne is a long time family friend, and I remember thinking, “I hope her book is good so that I don’t have to feel bad telling her it’s not.”  It was an amazing read!  Very honestly written and brings you through a rollercoaster of emotions!  While I have not experienced most of what is in the book, there are many that can relate very well to the decisions that are made in The Catasy.   It is truly a book about sex, drugs and rock and roll!  If you read The Catasy, or have already read it, let me know what you think!!  I personally can’t wait for the sequel to come out!

We’ve all heard about mineral makeup, but what many don’t realize is that there are many different kinds of mineral makeup and therefore very different levels of quality. When I hear mineral makeup, I think of the loose powder makeups that first came out. You can actually get pressed mineral makeup now!

I had the opportunity to get a makeover by Rain Cosmetics in April during the True Beauty Expo and was so impressed that I’ve since bought the foundation! They use fun Vegas names for most of their makeup, as they are based out of Las Vegas.

I bought their Perfect Cream Foundation, which is as close to perfection as I’ve seen!! It’s healthy for your skin, and gives you as much or little coverage as you want based on how you apply it. You can use a brush for full coverage, a wedge sponge for medium coverage and a moist sponge for light coverage.

Using the proper concealer and foundation will make a huge difference when you are in photos. I LOVE the airbrush look that I get from the foundation as much as knowing that it is great for my skin! It’s water resistant too, which is great for summer time and it lasts all day! When they did my makeup in April it lasted all day AND night through many events. Who could ask for anything better from their makeup?
