       Let Scent Trunk Inspire You This Summer


  I was amazed when I found scent trunk.  As everyone knows I love to change my scent daily.  I think the scent you wear can truly change your mood.  Scent trunk was perfect for about $18.00 a month you get handpicked scents from around the world sent right to your door.  If you happen to fall in love with a scent you can hop right on scent trunk and get the full size shipped right to you.  They also offer giving scent trunk as a gift so you can send to your best friend and give her an awesome gift that they will ship right to her.


My three scents were


Red Cattleya by Olympic Orchids

    With Citruses, Peach, Apricot, Melon, Lilac, and Vanilla


Sunshine Woman by Amouage

    With Almond, Davana, Jasmine, Vanilla, Cade and Papyrus


Day by Serabecca

    With Lilly, Jasmine, and Tuberose


  When I took my survey in the beginning it was surprising to me it told me I would like citrus scents the best.  I do like them but I was surprised by that I have always been a flower girl. At the end of the survey they also ask you what scents you already wear so it takes that into consideration when they send you your three scents for the month.  I was excited to see how I would like them.  When they came I noticed that they really did take into consideration what I already wear and one of the scents was a flower perfume.  I thought this would be my favorite it had everything I truly love it in.  Guess what there test was right on my favorite that I cannot get enough of was one of the citrus ones Sunshine.  I loved all three scents that they sent I would wear any of them but the Sunshine was truly an amazing scent I would have never had the joy of smelling if it was not for them.

I would completely recommend Scent trunk to everyone.

Spring Time Beach Look

tabbyspantry

Get the Spring time beach look

Hey all I love the beachy spring time looks so I put this together for you as a quick and easy guide.

 

My 4 go to products are

Shiseido Powdery foundation in b40

Shiseido perfect rouge lipstick tender sheer

Moroccanoil treatment

Rev up Volumist

 

A very quick and easy look to put together

After taking a shower the night before add a little moroccanoil oil to your hair for a nice shine and to keep the fly aways down.  A few sprays of the rev up volume to make sure your hair stays bouncy.  When hair is almost air dried put into braids.  Does not have to be pretty you are going to sleep in the braids. As you can see from my picture I did a messy job.

When you wake up in the morning spray a little more Rev up on your braids and a little hair spray, and then take out braids

Pick you favorite summer dress I got this one from like twice for $30.00 fantastic deal. And wedges from Nordstrom’s very comfy.

For makeup I just like a little cover up for the beach look so I used  the powder foundation, and Perfect rouge lip stick a touch of blush and done.

 

Sometimes for makeup remember less is better.  I found the Shiseido powder foundation gave me great cover up for my face and still left me feeling like I had nothing on.

This is such an easy look to get and you will have nothing that you really have to touch up threw out the day.  And even if you do just grab the compact and lipstick throw in bag and you are ready to go for the day.  Quick easy and looks great.

James&Co The Faux Leather Maureen Trench coat in red

                      decmeber2014 004   decmeber2014 016

  When I got the chance to review this awesome Trench coat from James and CO I was so excited.  This is not only a perfect coat for our winters but also for all the other seasons.  This coat can go with anything in your closet and really juice up your style.   This is a faux leather trench coat; it is so soft to the touch and was very easy clean up.  When my little guy spilled on it, it cleaned right up.   The stitching on it is beautiful work and the belt can be folded different ways to make different looks.   I love that is has a slight form fit so I do not look like a box. 

                                                      decmeber2014 013

  I was amazed by the price of this coat.  For only $90.00 you can get this coat off of Amazon and it comes in red or black.  It also came in a very nice bag so I do not have to worry about it being dusty or dirty.

                                                       decmeber2014 015

James &CO has a wide range of awesome products for the holiday season.  Whether you are looking for a jacket or a wallet you can’t go wrong with them.  They products are high quality and a great price.  Any woman would be so excited to find them under the tree.   I am in love with James&CO and am in seventh haven with my new jacket.

Prom Dress

Prom is coming let’s find your perfect dress with Dress First

I still remember my prom till this day with great memories. I had my date, I had the nj limosine, all I needed was the perfect dress. Why was prom so much fun for me? I got to dress up and go out for a beautiful night with my man. When you are in high school this does not happen much. To get to pick your perfect dress, do you hair, makeup for the night and look as beautiful as you can. Until you get married this will not happen much in life. When I was shopping for my dress the internet was not like it was now so I did not have the choices that you will all have. These days, you have the option of searching for something like Two Sisters dresses online and having a variety to choose from. I had to go from store to store just looking for that perfect dress. It took a long time. After spending 5 minutes on this site I found over 20 dresses that I would have and still would die for.

For me I am a princess kind of girl I like the long flowy and shinny. But if this is not your style not to worry they have so many different dresses to choose from you are sure to find your perfect one. I was truly amazed on how many search options they had on their site. They had different categories I could click threw to pick my perfect dress i.e. color, design, material, and so forth so I did not have to look through 1,000’s of different dresses. I could go one by one till I got a list of my perfect dresses. You can even go by price so if you are on a budget you will be sure to stay within it. Their sizes go from teeny tiny to plus so there is something beautiful for everyone. They have very cheap prom dresses but with the quality you have come to expect from a formal dress. When you are picking your prom dress think ahead, do you want to go with your normal style? Or go completely out of the box? What kind of fabric do you want? What colors are you going for? And of course what length? This was a big one for me I am 5 2 so going for a long dress for me was harder I had to make sure it was not so long I would trip over it. But long enough it did not make me look even shorter.

Prom is one of the most wonderful days you will have while in school, don’t forget to make it as unforgettable as possible. Just a heads up for everyone out their without a date, its ok grab another friend and go any way. We had quite a few that went with friends or without a date and I can tell you we all had a blast and made memories for a life time.

reunion

Hubbys 20 year reunion

As most of you know I had hubby 20 year reunion last week.  We had a vote between 2 outfits for me to wear.  The orange won out by a long way, But yes there is a but I had a wardrobe malfunction and when I put on the orange outfit and zipped it up.  My boobs were way too big to fit it.  I looked like I had boob fat coming out everywhere.  As I thought this would not be a good look for a reunion I had to go with the yellow.  Sometimes having bigger boobs really can ruin an outfit.

So of course I got out the good pushup bra and we rocked the yellow.  The yellow dress went off great everyone loved it and I had an awesome time

Summer Damaged Hair

      Seven Tips to Repair Summer-Damaged Hair

Sunny days lounging by the pool, exploring the great outdoors, and traveling far and wide – all the summer excitement has been harsh on your hair. Here are a few tips to get it back in shape.

Summer_Hair_Repair

1. Turn Down the Heat
Your locks have been suffering the heat all summer long. Give them a break by using a cooler hair dryer setting for a bit while your hair recuperates.

2. Stash the Irons
Try out some of the new fall styles that don’t require a flat or curling iron. Your hair will thank you, and you might find a look you like even better.

3. Get a Trim
After all the sun, wind, and chlorine it’s a wonder you have any nutrients left in your hair – and the result is split-ends and frizz. Getting a little trim is an easy way to start fresh for the fall. I have to admitt I am the worse at thisone but when i actually do my hair looks and feels so much better.

4. Avoid Alcohol
Stop laughing all and read all the way through lol …in your hair products that is. If you’re hair is already feeling dry and dehydrated, using styling products that have alcohol in them, like gel, will make your hair even more brittle.

5. Get a Good Brush
Use a boar bristle brush to brush your hair thoroughly at least once a day. This will help distribute your hair’s natural oils throughout your tresses and help your hair heal any damage on its own.

6. Do Some Deep Conditioning
It can be as easy as leaving a deep conditioner in instead of rinsing it out or trying out a new hair masque. Either way, your hair needs this like a cool drink of water on the hottest summer day.

7. Use a Healthier Hair Color
Looking to darken your shade for the fall? A lot of permanent hair color formulas contain ammonia, resorcinol, PPDs and alcohol, all of which can damage your hair far beyond what it’s already been through this summer. Give your hair a nutrient boost instead with Madison Reed hair color. We don’t use any of those chemicals! Instead we pack our salon-quality formula with naturally-derived ingredients like argan oil, keratin, and ginseng root extract for vibrant, long-lasting color in your favorite fall shades.
