In a previous post about the importance of hydrating our skin, I shared that by keeping skin moisturized it avoids premature aging and helps keep our skin hydrated. I know aging is inevitable but if I can be proactive with avoiding signs of premature aging from showing up, then why not!

The Test -

In May I received a magnetic polish in Kylie (a purple shade) from Julep, I was already familiar with using a magnetic polish when I received this Sally Hansen magnetic polish in Polar Purple. 

Want to create Magnetic Cupcakes using this magnetic nail polish? Here's a tutorial -

While creating the tutorial, this was the first time I had used the Polar Purple and felt that I had gotten the same results from when I used the Julep polish.

Overall, I liked this polish because it gave me the '3D' effect without too much work. The price for a bottle is great at $9.99 given there are similar bottles for over this amount and it is easily available at a majority of retail stores. There are 8 beautiful colors to choose from and some of which are perfect as we quickly approach fall.

Pro - 

Easy to use & remove
Each nail design is unique
Great way to create 3D effect with only one product
Easily available at majority retail store
Reasonably priced for a multi-functional polish

Ranked: 5 out 5 stars

Recommend to a friend? YES!

All about Monthly Boxes!

Remember when magazine subscriptions were the big thing? Well, now it is all about the monthly box subscriptions. Subscription boxes can vary in content from makeup, skin care, food, lifestyle, moms, children, pets to just about anything!

With all of the subscription boxes out there, how can anyone keep up? As many of you know, I am obsessed with monthly boxes and majority of my Youtube channel videos are unboxings and reviews of boxes that I have received. Two main reasons I love this concept are that I love getting goodies in the mail and, in most cases, I don't know what I'll be receiving! Who doesn't want to feel like it's their birthday EVERY month? To take the guessing and research out of the equation, here are all of the monthly boxes that I am either subscribed to or have researched to include in this list!


Do you know of one that I missed? Email me their website info and I will include it on this list!

Shopping addiction gone good?

I've been obsessed with buying different beauty products lately like Lipsticks, bronzers, concealers, false lashes, etc. The obsession has gotten to the point where I haven't been able to use many of the items I've bought yet. Along with purchased items, I haven't used many of the products received in my monthly boxes (birchbox, gogogirlfriend, etc) too. Eeek!

As an April challenge, I am committing to using at least one of the products in my 'have not used yet' container and reporting a weekly video/blog on what items they were with my thoughts. New week begins on Sunday and reporting will be on Monday for previous week.

Nugget Events...

It's been a minute since I've posted about the Nugman.


Here are some recent things...

On one of the mornings we were in the backyard, our sprinkler caused a little puddle to accumulate in a spot on the pavement and Nugget decided to sit and downward dog pose his head into the puddle. A definite SMH!! sheesh!

downward dog pose head into puddle - his hair was sopping wet.

You have now entered the new face lift I'd just given my website! I'm so excited to get it to something different from my previous ones..
