Bzzagent Glade wax melts and plugins scented oil campaign

GLADE® WAX MELTS AND PLUGINS® SCENTED OIL CUSTOMIZABLES™

 I recently got into the glade wax melts and plugins bzz campaign. What came through the mail was a coupon booklet with 2 coupons to get the wax melt and plugins free. I got myself the clean linen and sunny day plugins along with the berry wax melt pk.

I have been using the plugins so it's nothing new to me. The plugins have a new design that it makes it more eye appealing when you have guest over. There are three setting and the lowest is supposedly to last up to 60 days. Even with the lowest setting, the fragrances is pretty strong. With the clean linen and sunny day scents that alternates throughout the day, my room smells really really clean. I wake up feeling refresh.

The glade wax melts is something new to me that I haven't used yet until now. Over the holidays, my sister in law bought one of the holiday edition which i found out that glade now makes wax melt. I've been wanting to check out glades line of wax melt since then but keeps forgetting whenever I go to the store. Finally, after receiving the coupon for one free wax melt pk, I was able to check out the wax melts. It didn't pleased me as much as I thought it would. The choices weren't much but they do have a variety. I end up with the berry scents and hopefully in the near future, I would be able to see more selections there.

Rimmel London stay matte liquid mousse foundation

A few weeks ago (might have been in Dec?)I found a selection of the Rimmel london stay matte foundation at Kmart. I don't remember if there's a whole lot selections of colors but I believed that most are from fair to medium dark skin tone. The one I decided to get was ivory.

I've been using this for a few weeks and must definitely say that this isn't as good on dry skin if you don't use it lightly + exfoliate well before use. I have dry skin and tend to have dry patches on my right bottom cheek and the middle of my forehead to my right side of the eyebrow. Even with the use of moisturizer and primer, I can still see some dry patches. If I don't pack it on too much and just simply use a little, it looks fine on me. If you look at the picture above, you can definitely tell that it's very thick compared to other foundation.

As much as I want to wear it, due to my dry skin, I would probably wait till summer when it's a bit warmer and see if it works then.

Influenster VioletVoxBox

Been a while that I actually blog! I've been so busy with my newborn +kids that I barely find the time to blog; either I don't have time or else, I'm extremely tired by night time!

A while back, I got an e-mail saying I got in to the violet vox box from influenster! Today (12/6/13), I've received it! I was pretty excited since I haven't had one in a while now. So let's see what I received:

1)Montagne Jeunesse Clay Spa; $2.49 -"Dead Sea Mud Spa"
           I've seen these at Walgreens as well as Walmart and loved them! I usually buy Freeman's just because it's a bit cheaper and you could buy the tube (save $$) instead of a small packet. They're good for traveling, 1 time use depending on which packet, or just to give it out as gift. Last year I gave these out to my 3 sister in laws as part of their Christmas gift.

2) Goody Athletique Headbands: $6.00
   This head band is supposed to provide you hold and comfort so that you can be physically active. What did I think? For $6.00, this headband is not worth it! I have long hair and the headband doesn't seem to stay put. It keeps on slipping up from time to time so not worthy to waste your money on it.

3) Soyjoy: $0.99 ~ received dark chocolate cherry
      I tried this for the first time and as much as I love chocolate, I hate it. The texture is very dry so you'll need something to drink it down afterward. You can taste a bit of chocolate, bitterness, and the sourness possibly from the cherry.

4) Not your mother's clean freak : refreshing dry shampoo $5.99
     I don't do much style on my hair as goes with the use of hair product aside from just using regular shampoo and conditioner so I'll be giving this away.

5) Sally Hansen New Triple Shine $4.99 ~Statemint 260
      The one I received is a light green pastel color. I don't love it, yet I don't hate it. Maybe it's just the color but I find that you have to reapply a few times to not have the streak on your nails.


Thank you so much Influenster for sending the Violet Vox Box for me to try out!

Above are my honest opinion of the product received. 

Aussie moist 3 minute miracle conditioner

I usually use Pantene Volume conditioner but ran out of it about a month or two ago so I decided to try something new. I saw Pantene hair masque and wanted to get it but for $6 it was kind of expensive for me since I haven't checked any review on it whether it makes your hair soft or not. Sooooooo....I found the Aussie moist 3 minute miracle  conditioner for about $3 and decide to try it for now. I've now tried it for almost 2 months now and here's my review on it:

Before use: I have long hair so I usually tie it up in a bun or clip it up. My hair feels really dry and damage along with tons of split ends since I don't usually cut or trim it at all. Even with the use of the Pantene volume conditioner, I feel like it doesn't do much but gives little volume.

After use: I noticed a difference immediately after the first use of the aussie conditioner!!!! My hair feels really really soft and I just can't stop touching it!!!! I couldn't believed it at all. Never in my life have I ever had soft hair before and it feels like a miracle....for me that is. I forgot to take the aussie conditioner out of my room a day ago so I just had to use whatever conditioner that was in the bathroom (the clear conditioner) and omg...my head broke out  and hair feels a bit harsh. Overall, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Aussie moist 3 minute miracle conditioner. I'm so glad I made the purchase cause I just love the result.

By the way, I'm 37 weeks along and can't wait to meet my little one! Baby's really low (station 0) and I'm 4 cm dilated already but that doesn't mean that I will go into labor anytime soon. It could be another 3 weeks...who knows since I was 8cm at 38 weeks with my 2nd and didn't even have her until the day after her due date. Overall, hubby, the kids, and I are so ready to meet this little gal ( I hope it's a she since I got everything for girls).

Been a while now

It's been a while now that I posted anything. I went for my 2nd ultrasound which was a pretty quick one since the ultrasound tech just need to get some good pictures of what she missed the last visit. I got more pictures but with the moved, it's currently being stored somewhere. I just had my 26 week appointment yesterday and baby's fine...test came back for down syndrome okay. She's a lot more active lately and I've been experiencing tons of back ache + round ligament pain. Still haven't bought any baby items yet and don't plan to until I'm a bit closer to the due date which is only 3 month away! Hubby still can't believed that this pregnancy is going to so fast and I'm already approaching my 3rd trimester.

After my appointment yesterday, I decided to stop my dollar tree to get my 2 & 3/12 year old balloons since they've been wanting one. I found tons of milani lip products that I just had to buy. About a month before that I bought a few of their nail polish too. Just took some pictures BUT my small camera is not cooperating at all! Well, actually the usb cord that's connected to the computer. It's charging the camera but would not connect to the computer....couldn't read it at all. So I guess we'll just had to wait till I figure a way to upload my pictures onto the laptop. I used the sd slot before but the last time I used it, it was really really slow and ruin tons of my pictures.

18 weeks and found out gender!

I just had my ultrasound today and found out that I'm having a girl! Everything went fine since I got a call from my midwife today but just needed to go back for another ultrasound since they couldn't measure everything (baby kept moving). I was told that baby is fine so I shouldn't worry about a thing.



The ultrasound tech couldn't get a clear shot of baby's face since she kept covering herself. There was another picture where she bend her leg and cover the left side of her face while her right arm cover the other side.

Down below is the picture of baby waving hi. She was moving her fingers looking at us.



These pictures belong to me. I crop the picture since there's some of my personal info on there.

2 new addition to family!

On friday, I did some research on parakeet. I used to have one back in highschool but it die 2 weeks later. I feel really bad, blaming myself that I didn't take good care of it so I haven't own a pet since then. Finally doing more research on parakeet, I decided to get one with the permission of my husband since it'll be living with us. Right when my husband came home from work, I ask him if we could get a parakeet. It took him a while (about 10 min) but he could never say no to me (I'm spoiled rotten by him). This time we decided to get 2 parakeet instead of one.

How we choose our parakeets?
   There were 3 different color parakeets at the time when we went to petco. There were light blues with light blue feather, light blue with dark feather, and green. Just looking at them, everyone of them seem distant from one another. They're not even playing with one another except for 2. These 2 were flying and playing with one another. They were grooming each other. Instead do getting one, we got those 2 to keep each other company that way they're not too lonely. My son wanted a green one but we decided to just get those 2 for now to see how things goes.

The two that we got were 3 months and hand fed. They are still scare of us but a little use to the surrounding since they're eating more often and coming up front staring at us. Our family is HUGE (family of 7) and loud but it doesn't seem to bothered them one bit. I also noticed that they're talking to one another. They would look at one another and start talking (not chirping). It usually happen when we have the T.V. on or I'm watching something on my laptop. If I pause it for a bit, they will know and stop talking. I just can't wait till I can start taming them!

Another news is that I will be finding out the gender of my baby next month! I'm super excited! I see all these baby clothes and those that are on sales but can't buy any since I don't know the sex of the baby. So far I'm 14 weeks and my nauseous has been getting better. I now have more energy than a few weeks ago. I am still nauseous from time to time which I can only eat certain things but with those medication that my midwife prescribe me, I don't puke everything out anymore. So ladies, if you're nauseous and can barely keep anything down, have your doctor or midwife prescribe you some nauseous medication. They are pricey but worth it. Last but not least, I'm just so lucky for have my husband cooked for the family while I'm in this "condition". I have not been cooking since Jan. nor have been cleaning up the place so it's a mess but now with a bit more energy, usually in the morning, I do clean up till I start to feel like I'm gonna wear out, that's when I stop and rest.
