Cap'n Crunch Snack Mix Chocolately Peanut Butter

So today while I was picking up some pens and a notebook to do some cleaning, I saw these little beauties and thought why not try it... it has lots of things that I like, peanut butter, Cap'n Crunch, chocolate covered pretzels and candy. I mean really that sounds delicious.

The bag is just the right size to snack on and share with another person, and it reseals so you don't have to worry about it later. I love resealed about bags of food, I only eat a small amount so I hate when products go bad on me too quickly.

My bag came with the most of the peanut butter Cap'n Crunch, then chocolate Cap'n Crunch, the chocolate pretzels, and lastly the candy drops. So it has a nice peanut butter rounded taste. The bag has 3 servings and thats about 170 calories per serving. I would probably pour the bag into a bowl, so that I don't keep scraping my nails against the pretzels. Amazingly there is a lot of folic acid in each serving 45% of the daily value.

So if you like peanut butter and you like chocolate and Cap'n Crunch this this might be the perfect movie or tv snack for you.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Foundation

So I recieved in the mail from Influenster a Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Foundation. I had not tried it yet so I told myself to give it a try and left it sitting in the box for like 2 weeks because of my busy schedule. Well a lot of you know that I am a cosplayer. So one morning before a con I couldn't figure out what I had done with my normal foundation and so I decided to give this a try.

I surprised at how thick it came out and was worried that I would hate it. I smoothed it evenly over my skin and I was surprised at how well it covered my skin and on top of that it didn't feel greasy. I hate greasy feeling foundations. The nice part is the foundation stayed on my skin all day, while I ran around and played with tons of people.

I would recommend this product if you have a busy day and want your face to stay looking as sharp as the moment you make yourself up. It's not too expensive and worked great for me. Rimmel Londons Website

Agents of SHIELD new tv show

Now as many of you know I am a huge Comic Book geek so the Agent's Of Shield was on my number one list when they announced it last year.

So I have been watching the show and I am really excited with all the tie ins and what they can do with the story lines of upcoming movies. It makes me more then excited.

I really like Skye. She is an interesting character. I really can't wait to see her story unwind.

Right now this is one of my favorite shows on tv. :D

For Your Lips Lip Balms in Watermelon and Pink Lemonade

I was at Walgreens picking up some random stuff the other day when at the checkout line they had these lip balms on sale for 2 for $3. I saw there were two different flavors, Watermelon and Pink Lemonade. Since I didn't know the brand I thought why not pick up these lip balms. I love lip products so I have a few hundred of them.

These lip balms have spf 15 in them. The pink Lemonade lip balm has a more medicinal smell then a Pink Lemonade smell to it. On the other hand, the watermelon lip balm smells like watermelon.

The lip balms are made in USA. I like them. They are a good product. It feels good on your lips and has a nice smell to them. They have a chapsticky feeling on your lips and don't taste terrible.

If you are looking for some lip balm and you run across this brand, I would pick some up. It runs about the same cost as other lip balms that you may find in the drugstores. It is worth a go for sure.

Law and Order SVU intense tv

So I am a huge crime show tv fan. I watch far too much tv in general. But I love Law and Order SVU, but I am not digging this season as much as past seasons. I am a little bummed, I am hoping it picks up. I might just be coming down from the Summer seasons and how good some of them were.

I really like that the show hits on hard issues that people aren't always ready and open to discuss. I like that it brings things out into the open.

I am sad that this week is Richard Belzer's last show. I have enjoyed his character on the show, and everytime I say that I will never like a character as much as the last I am proven wrong. I don't stop loving my original characters but I do grow a fondness for the new.

McDonald's Pumpkin Pies

I know most people despise McD's because it is so unhealthy. I don't hate it I believe in everything in moderation. That being said I don't really like the pies they sell, but this one for the autumn season is actually pretty good. I like pumpkin pie for about 3 months a year, for whatever reason I lose interest in it about that time in November, not really burnt out on it but I just stop wanting it.

So with the cues of like Jack in the Box's Pumpkin Pie Shake, which I have at least 5 of during its short seasonal run, McDonalds added the Pumpkin Pie bars and they are pretty delicious.

So if you like the pies at McD's why not give the pumpkin ones a try. They are pretty good. They didn't pay me to say this. I just like them and wanted to share with you.

"The QuarterBack" Glee's Goodbye Finn and My personal experiences.

So most people who follow entertainment know that Cory Montieth who played Finn on Glee died last month of a heroin overdose. I know this doesn't have much to do with makeup, but it has to do with something I love and I write about non makeup things all the time. I kept telling myself I would watch it when I get caught up on Glee(I'm behind because Mr. Kitty hasn't wanted to watch and we were watching it together, so I am behind, along with quite a few other shows Im really annoyed at being behind on). But I knew if I did that I might never get caught up on Glee because I would push it off forever. Since the episode doesn't follow story because it is a tribute episode I decided last night to bite the bullet and watch it. The opening number was Seasons of Love and from that moment I balled my eyes out.

Now for me this was a truly personal episode because I know Rachel's heartache. My high school sweetheart committed suicide in 2009. He did it on the two anniversary of our breakup. It was devastating for me. I had loved him since I was 15. I am 27 now. I didn't know how to respond, I fell apart and spiraled out of control. I still have days where I feel lost. I mean honestly how do you get over losing someone, especially someone you love. He and I had broken up, bur we talked almost everyday. I spent most of my time telling him if he was willing to go to therapy with me I would be willing to start over and him telling me no.

I am lucky to have someone in my life who understands my brokeness and is there for me now.

TearDrop by Lauren Kate

Lauren Kate wrote a wonderful trilogy called Fallen and so when I saw this advanced reader copy I knew I just had to get it.

I loved Teardrop, it's a book about a girl who's tears can bring back the lost city of Atlantis. So beautiful. I love the sea, it's enchanting and I love Lauren's writing. She entrances you with her words and you feel for her characters. I really enjoyed reading this book.

It comes out October 22, 2013 and you will be able to grab it on amazon or at your local bookstore.

Amazon's Blurb about the book:

The first in a new series by Lauren Kate, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fallen series, TEARDROP is an epic saga of heart-stopping romance, devastating secrets, and dark magic . . . a world where everything you love can be washed away.

Never, ever cry. . . . Eureka Boudreaux's mother drilled that rule into her daughter years ago. But now her mother is gone, and everywhere Eureka goes he is there: Ander, the tall, pale blond boy who seems to know things he shouldn't, who tells Eureka she is in grave danger, who comes closer to making her cry than anyone has before.

But Ander doesn't know Eureka's darkest secret: ever since her mother drowned in a freak accident, Eureka wishes she were dead, too. She has little left that she cares about, just her oldest friend, Brooks, and a strange inheritance—a locket, a letter, a mysterious stone, and an ancient book no one understands. The book contains a haunting tale about a girl who got her heart broken and cried an entire continent into the sea. Eureka is about to discover that the ancient tale is more than a story, that Ander might be telling the truth . . . and that her life has far darker undercurrents than she ever imagined.

I am so excited for the next book in the series.

September Loot Crate 2013

Now I had heard so many amazing things about this company and since I am a giant geek I gave into the temptation to try it out. I mean a box full of geek stuff how could I say no.

The box it comes in is very cute.. I love the inside of the box and if you are a gamer you should recognize the code.

The first item in the box was a talking plush Stimpy doll. I loved Ren and Stimpy as a child. He is beyond adorable. I am really glad I got Stimpy cause I was much more his fan then of Ren.

Next up was a Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made by Funko. Now I am in love with the Funko toys. They are beyond adorable, big eyes and cute faces. I love them. I also love the TMNT. I am super excited for the new movie.

Next was the Stewie griffin cinnamon lip balm. I love lip products and I love Family Guy so this made me smile. I might trade it for the Yoshi one if someone has it, if not than its being mailed to my Dad. He is the biggest Family Guy fan.

I admit I grew up on the Simpsons and even though lately it has gotten a bad wrap for losing its edge I still love the show. I got The Simpsons KidRobot keychain blindbox. My blindbox held Lisa.

Last but not least was the smaller items in the box.. stickers, magnets, the little booklet about whats in the box. I love the "It's Over 9000" sticker and the StormTrooper TMNT PopArt magnet..

So overall I am in love with the box. I will be posting my unboxing video on youtube in the next couple of days. I hope that if you decide to take the leap you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Changing my diet and the way we do things at home

I have noticed lately that I am allergic to a lot more foods then I was when I was younger so we decided to see if changing our diets and exercising can hep with my pain and fatigue.

We are going Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Red Meat Free. Not vegan or vegetarian.. just cutting out all the foods that I think may be the major cause of the unhealthiness of my body. So from time to time you might see me post recipes for meals I have made.

The other sacrafice we are making is soda and any sugared drinks. We are going to try to cut them out completely. Since we are both huge soda drinkers we know this is probably going to be killer but will be working together to make it happen.

I will also be posting about our exercise and such. I would love to hear from anyone that would like some encouragement or needs a little help or has advice. I am here to be friendly and would love to help or listen.

So we start next week. I am a bit scared because food wise I am allergic to a lot of things and I have texture issues.. so this is going to limit my food by a huge amount. It does mean a huge amount of veggies and fruit and chicken.

Victoria's Secret new Lip Scrub and Lip Balm

So the other day while at Victoria's Secret picking up some bras I saw this lip scrub and since I love lip scrubs I had to pick it up. It comes in a cute container with the lip scrub in a jar underneath the lip balm for after you scrub down your lips.

I picked it up for $16 and if you have a coupon you can probably get some free undies or something with them if you plan it right. :D

Now it is a very gritty scrub feels like sugar and works great. I took some pictures.. I haven't really posted any close ups of my face, but I thought why not.. so here goes.

Here is my lips with the scrub on them and then with the lip balm on them. It definitely made them feel much softer.

Ghirardelli Toffee Crunch

I love Ghirardelli chocolates, they are super delicious. I love all different flavors that they have. There is so many that I want to try out, so I picked up this flavor that I had never tried out before.

The flavor I got was Toffee Crunch. I love Toffee in candy bars, Symphony bars are wonderful. So I knew I had to pick this one up. It is milk chocolate with pieces of toffee.

I love this one sooo much I went back and bought the 33 pack one with the little ones.. It is almost empty I think that means I need to restock up. So delicious.

Candii Blossom Eye Shadows - Indie Brand

So I had the pleasure of working with Candii Blossom Cosmetics, she sent me 5 sample clamshells of her eye shadows for me to review. Before I even get into the colors I have to say they smell awesome. I just absolutely love the way they smell. She picked out five very vibrant awesome colors. I was super excited to open the envelope and check them out.

The packaging is very cute and the tiny clamshells are awesome. I will say I am not one for the little baggies, too messy and just annoying, so this totally made me super excited that they came in mini clamshells.

The five colors she sent me were Sky, Oh Tiffany, Morning Glory, Erin and Lava Flow. Now they are all great vibrant colors so here is each one of them.

Lava Flow is a beautiful red with some sparkles. I love it.. I will definitely be using it.

Next up is Sky.. a gorgeous cornflower blue. Looks amazing.

Then we have OH, Tiffany another blue, this one is beautiful and lighter then Sky. I love it.. I can't wait to use it in a look.

Erin is a incredible yellow. I love yellows this is no exception

Lastly, but not least is Morning Glory a wonderful purple.

All of the colors are so vibrant. I love all the colors she sent me and will definitely be grabbing more from her shop, especially since they smell so tasty.

You can purchase these beauties and many more over at her Artfire shop

And for my Nail polish fiends she also sells Nail Polish. I am going to purchase some and review those for you as well. I might even do a giveaway for some shadows I purchase for you all.

Disneyland Fireworks

I love staying at Disneyland until they shoot off the fireworks but because we hate traffic we rarely stay that long.. So I got the chance to shoot some pictures of the fireworks and wanted to share them with you.
