This place was no home, untill my little furballs moved in!
Glad to be home, starting Hannah on Homework today to make up days missed.
Making up for time missed at this house, dusty & carpets need cleaned.
Testing out my Influenster (http://www.influenster.com) VoxBox still loving the eyelash primer!
Going to start cleaning up xmas decor so that I can buy more rubbermaid containers for the junk.
Then clean up the room for my Studio equipment, which I plan on purchasing ASAP to get indoor stuff started!

Santa Clause

I took Hannah to the Farm Museum in Point Pleasant, WV to see Santa, like we always do.

Got a great picture (I think) of her and Santa. Had a blast looking at the lights as well! They always do such a good job up there! Wish I had money to donate more lights to them! Since I've been here I've pretty much been sick, so has Hannah, but were finally starting to feel better! Just in time for Christmas. I'm making dinner right now, and we decorated the tree yesterday. Little Ryan my nephew enjoyed the tree lights once we turned the on he was hooked (hes only about 3months old now). Plan on taking some shots of Hannah & Ryan, as well as Ryan in his first Christmas outfit :) Everything seems to be going smoothly and I'm enjoying my time here, but I'm ready to go home also. Tomorrow I think we're going to do Christmas Cookies & decorate them. Should be fun!

XOut Brand Challenge- From #holidayvoxbox

It was luck of the draw (Demographically) if you got this acne wash, and I didn't get it in my HolidayVoxbox, But  I really heard about this XOut facial stuff . I really want to try it because its one step! I saw no results with Proactive because I didn't have acne. But as soon as mine ran out, boom I've got zits and I've never had them before. I think I'm going to buy me some of this XOut Facial stuff & try it, then post a review under this same post later on! Might be Jan 1 before I can buy it, but I'm definately trying it since its getting RAVE reviews!

NYC New York Color- Liquid Lip Shine from my HolidayVoxBox

Also in my HolidayVoxBox I recieved NYC Lip Gloss Nude color!

Lets just say when I got it I was excited, because I LOVE lip gloss, chapstick etc! I'm addicted!

My first take on this gloss was, its gonna be sticky like all the rest. But upon putting it on it wasn't!

It wasn't to thick, or to thin, but just right! My lips were so shiny and moist I loved it! 

I plan on buying tons more in different colors, and would LOVE to try their lip stain!

Impress Nails from my Holiday VoxBox

So just before we left Kentucky for the Holiday, my HolidayVoxBox came with these pretty nails in them!

I got the black ones  with silver crackle. So I decided I'd put them on right away! Following the directions on the box to a T! I ended up packing and they survived the torture I put them through packing & slamming things in duffel bags no problem! They were very strong. I suddenly had to use the rest room, which meant washing the hands! The first wash I even tried to keep under the water for as little time as possible. Off came my first finger on both hands how weird. I figured I'd run to the store and grab nail glue. Well a bit later on about 3hrs later I had to use the restroom again, this time 4 more nails came off, so I gave up and popped the last ones off as well. Granted they were pretty they didn't stay on very long. I'm not exactly sure why. I didn't get them wet until 4hrs after applying them and had followed all the directions. I will say that normally when I get press ons they don't stick, and "move" around a lot. These didn't and had I figured out how to keep them from getting wet I think they would have stayed a bit longer. Over all I think they are a good product I'd love to try again, maybe I just got a bad batch! Who knows I'm still optimistic to try them again.
Onward to trying more new stuff outta my box!

Making Ryans Blanket

I found this interesting Granny Ripple pattern on here and decide I think I'll make it in baby size for my nephew Ryan! Will post more later once I get started & pictures :) Right now I must go dig out the Yarn stock pile!

Holiday VoxBox

So I missed the big Tweet Party due to school online! I was very busy studying when I remembered! This sucks! I hope I can qualify for the Holiday VoxBox this time around it would be AWESOME!!! 

If you are wondering what I'm talking about its here http://www.influenster.com/voxbox-overview just click and be happy!

Now our Thanksgiving Break would be perfect if only the Army would let us go home, I get a letter saying I'm qualified and our car doesn't need a ton of repairs!! 

Proactiv

Another product I got from my Influenster VoxBox tester kit!
I have to say I've only used it once a day for the time I've had it and I still have a ton of it left. 
It made my skin feel clean and less oily. I fear though If I used it more than one time a day I'd have dry skin. I don't have Acne, so I didn't see much change except my skin felt really clean and clear. 
Compared to other brands this worked very well! Most other brands I could use one time a day and my skin would dry out, so Proactiv is strong but not to strong! 
You can find it at www.proactiv.com 
Proactiv is sold as a 30-day, 3-step system for $19.95

I love www.influenster.com they have great VoxBoxes check it out!

Vitabath

I love this new Vitabath body wash! I got it from Influensters VoxBox trial program!  It leaves me very moisturized, and clean!I got the scent Asian Coconut and Orchid from In Bloom, I hate coconut but the scent is so light, it smells lovely! I love the fact that my skin does not dry out, and the lather is AMAZING! I've never had a body wash, not even Bath and Body works, that you could use very little with and it lather so well! I'd recommend this body wash to anyone!
