Shick Hydro Silk Review

Alright, so recently I joined BzzAgent and after a process I got my first Campaign.  A Shick HydroSilk Razor for free and some coupons as well for $5 off to pass out to my friends that may want to try this razor! My first thought, is a razor is a razor.  I will use pretty much anything to shave with, I am so not picky when it comes to that, maybe because I don't shave my legs as often as I should, because I have tried expensive, and tried cheap.  So I was already "eh" on trying this razor.  I received it, and let me tell you guys, I love it.  This razor is great because it does have 5 blades for an extra close shave, which is important for me.  The moisturizing bar is above and below the bars so it feels like you are applying lotion immediately after shaving. No razor burn! The rubber handle is great and ergonomically designed, meaning it would sit funny on your shelves in your shower or tub, wherever you choose to do the deed.  I can say that after trying this product, a razor isn't just a razor anymore!

Origami Owl!

I am so EXCITED to share this with you all!!  

I am officially a designer for Origami Owl!  This is such a great product!  I love my locket so much!  

It's got the concept of a charm bracelet, and a locket put together.  

YOU pick the charms, the locket, plate or no plate, the chain length and style.  

Tell your story with your locket!  

This is mine...

In my locket I have the infinity symbol, a little boy with an August birthstone, a little boy with December's birthstone, a heart shaped June birthstone(my birth month) and a heart shaped February birthstone(Brandon's birth month).  The plate says blessed.  I get so many compliments all the time on this piece of jewelery! Check out my website and put together a locket today!! I promise you won't be disappointed! Just click the link, look around and read the story behind Origami Owl, and if interested click on SHOP up at the top and start your creation!

No More Broken Makeup!

This week I tackled fixing my broken powder!  I have been dealing with the "crumbs" for awhile now.  It was a sad day when it broke, and doesn't it always seem to happen when you JUST get a new product?!  The slow motion feeling comes about as your makeup falls to a hard fall on the bathroom floor!  So when I ran across this tutorial, I figured it was worth a shot! Here is the Pinspiration...

How To Fix Broken Makeup

And here is my version:

I will go through the directions..

You will need:

Rubbing Alcohol

Something you can use as a spatula

A small makeup brush

A small square of plastic wrap

PAPER TOWEL

(dropper is optional, I just found this to be easier)

Okay so first, you want to cover your makeup tightly with the plastic wrap.  

Then you will want to take your spatula and finely crush the pieces of makeup so you have a really fine powder.  I did this all over the paper towel, to avoid a huge mess.

Take the plastic wrap off, and add some rubbing alcohol.  I used a dropper for this and filled the dropper up about 3 times.  You want the makeup to become very creamy in consistency.

Now, take your makeup brush and smooth everything out. I obviously had an issue getting it really smooth looking, I am thinking I didn't use enough rubbing alcohol.  

Let it sit and dry for a few hours.  When all is said and done, you will have makeup that looks like new!  Mine may not look like the original post, but its better than crumbs, so I am still very happy with this!

Chips & SALSA!

I don't know if I am alone here or not, but I could probably eat most all of the salsa at a restaurant, WHEN it is good.  When I married my husband, I am pretty sure that I lucked out.  His Grandma is from Mexico and makes an amazing salsa.  So amazing that I used to get excited for leftovers! I made Brandon get the recipe from her so that he can make it at home.  I was pregnant at the time and NEEDED it in my life. 

What you will need:

-Can of WHOLE PEELED TOMATOES (28 oz can)

-About 3 stalks of green onions(washed)

-A bushel of cilantro(washed)

-Garlic Salt

-Crushed Red Pepper

The first thing you want to do is open your can of tomatoes and pour some of the juice out.  You don't want watery salsa!  Dump the tomatoes in a blender, close the lid and hit the pulse button about 3 times.  Just quick little blend is all you need so that the tomatoes become chunky salsa looking!  Pour it out into the bowl for the remaining preparation

Next you want to take your green onions and chop just the very end off, still leave some white at the end.  I then slice the green onion length wise, then start the normal chopping.  You want to FINELY chop this up. Add this to the bowl of tomatoes

Take the cilantro and just go chop wild on this.  Chop it up as small as you possibly can, you will want to add about a cup of cilantro to the salsa.  Maybe 1 1/2 cups.  Throw this in the bowl with the other ingredients.

Now you want to add a heaping tablespoon of garlic salt, and a tablespoon of crushed red pepper.  The crushed red pepper is REALLY based on taste...how HOT do you like it?

When you are done, stir it all up, and you will have something that resembles this yummy goodness!  

I use it on chips, on steak, on Spanish rice, my two year old even loves it!  Questions and comments are ALWAYS welcome!
