imPRESS Press-On Manicure Review

I said that I would do a review on these nails later. Well... its later.
I absolutely love these nails! I have had them own for a good hour and that haven't popped off once. I got these nails in my univoxbox from influenster. I'll be back in a week to let you know if they're still on.

*I got this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.*

UniVoxBox: Influenster

I'm so EXCITED! I just recieved my univoxbox from influenster in the mail. In a previous post, I mentioned that I was in for the new voxbox. It's finally here! If you're new to Influenster, it is a site that you make honest reviews on products and you get badges. You are rewarded by getting free products( for reviewing purposes) called voxboxes. This is my first voxbox! Do you wanna see what I got? Okay!


Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation: $4.99-$5.49
Lightweight liquid mousse texture leaves skin shineless, yet weightless & cakeless. The weight is over- finally. shine has met its matte. Available in 8 shades.
Unfortunately, this shade(the darkest) was a little too light for me. I did try it on my inner wrist, which is a tad lighter than my face, it matched perfectly. I found it to be very blendable, light, and smooth. I'm gonna give it to a friend. If it came in a darker shade I would definitely buy it.
*update: I really wanted to give this foundation a shot. So I added a little of my other liquid foundation, which helped a lot. It matched my skin perfectly.

Yoga!!

I recently started doing yoga and I love it. I discovered Yoga with Adriene's youtube channel I've been doing it for two days now and I can tell a difference. I've always wanted to try yoga and I wish I started years ago. Hopefully this Summer I'll be able to find a local instructor.

Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge

   I'm not sure if I've mentioned this or not but I Love Gilmore Girls! It's one of my favorite shows; right next to I Love Lucy Sex and the city, and Blossom. I started watching Gilmore Girls rather late. THREE years after the show ended. I caught a rerun over my friend's house and I was hooked. I've watched every episode at least twice. 
   I probably forgot to mention that I LOVE to read. When I was a child that's all I would do. I would read everything I got my hand on. My mother loves to read also. I guess you could say she passed it down to me. I couldn't get enough of reading. I would get in trouble for staying up passed my bedtime.... reading. Lol. I even read Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe in the 6th grade! I'm was/am a introverted nerd. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I lost my passion for a lot of things including reading. I've never lost the urge to read and my passion is slowly resurfacing. I'm very excited about that. I'm always on the hunt for a good book. And I haven't been so lucky... until recently. 
    Last night, I came across the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge. Aha! It is exactly what I need. One of the main reasons I love Rory is because she loves books.She's super intelligent and she never makes anyone feel inferior to her(unlike Paris Geller). She has a vast knowledge that ranges from politics to pop culture. In a way she reminds me of myself. 
     So back to this reading list. I took the challenge on list challenges website and I scored 49 out of 339 books. I was very impressed by that.Lol. I read most of those before or during high school. That's saying a lot because at my high school; the required reading was usually the movie version. Smh.
    Today, I spent the afternon in the library and it felt amazing. I went in to get two books and left with seven(some aren't on the list). I have five on hold. I'm not sure if I'm gonna start with Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen or Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. I'm very indecisive. So I might end up reading both at the same time. I gonna start tomorrow afternoon. Until then I'm reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison(it isn't on the list). "I live in two worlds,one is a world of books."-Rory Gilmore
    

   Have you done this challenge? How long did it take? Any Gilmore Girls fans? Who's your favorite character? Or episode.


If you haven't watched the Gilmore Girls..check it out.

Sweet treats: Blue Bell Moo-llennium Crunch

I think I have a new favorite!! I've been seeing this in the grocery store for a while; I decided to give it a shot. I love it. I got it in a pint but I'm definitely getting the half gallon later on today. Yummy.

My massive sweet tooth

I am a big fan of desserts! If I could I would eat sweets all day, everyday. I'm the type of person who will eat dessert right before dinner. Please don't judge me. :-) Thankfully, my dentist can't tell. Lol. No cavities! I've recently become obsessed with sea salt caramel. I LOVE IT!!! Aaaaah! So good. Whether its brownies or ice cream, I can't get enough.


My all time favorite brand of ice cream is blue bell ! Everytime they have a new flavor I have to try it. My favorite is Homemade vanilla. I also like home made in the shade(its homemade vanilla with hot fudge poured over it)*drools* I love lemon too! Which I believe is seasonal. If you from the South you not how AMAZING this ice cream is. I went to Walmart to get some milk and of course I ended up on the ice cream aisle. I was craving something sweet. I decided to be good a get a pint instead of a half gallon. The Banana Pudding flavor caught my eye. Banana puddin' is a staple in the South.
This tastes EXACTLY like banana pudding. It has whipped cream, vanilla wafers(cookies), and banana ice cream. As always Blue Bell never disappoints!

Yesterday, I went to Dunkin Donuts(my first time ever). For signing up for dunkin updates, I got a free medium beverage. I had to get by the end of this month. Since I'm forgetful I decided to get it while I was out. It was semi warm. So I decided to get a cool drink. I went with the vanilla bean coolata . It was really good. I think it may be my Summer drink.

PINCHme: My first box.

PINCHme is a site that you get to try products before you buy them. I just discovered the site a few weeks ago. So far I really like it. I received my first box late last week. My second box should be here any day. I love coffee; especially specialty drinks. I was only able to pick one thing for my first box and it was the gevalia caramel macchiato. I was very excited to try this item.











I was very disappointed in this product. It looked pretty. It smelled great! It didn't taste so well.
I love PINCHme, it's a very cool site. Check it out.

Pretty Little Liars- What?!

I just one to say that I am confused. I took a nap and missed the first half of tonight's episode. One thing I know for certain..... I believe Mrs. Dilaurentis is 'A'!! I never trusted her.
