Review: Michael Todd Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub

(Image was taken from Google)

I received a sample of this in my Ipsy bag for August and I was so excited! I had heard a lot of good things about this product, and I was contemplating buying a full size. It was perfect timing, I couldn't wait to give it a try.

I have been using it about every other day for two weeks now, and on the odd days I go for my usual Philosophy Purity with my Clarisonic. The smell was, of course, the first thing I noticed about this and it was very pleasant, but not too over powering. I can't even begin to describe it, but it is a nice scent (don't let me kill you with my wonderful description). I then squirted about a dime size amount on to my fingers and was shocked! I knew it said charcoal, but the black substance was still a little shocking. Of course, being the crazy person I am, I couldn't wait to apply it. I decided just to use my hands and that has worked out best for me.

Almost immediately after removing the product my skin felt smoother, and after using it for a couple of weeks it has just gotten better. It has made the redness on my skin almost completely disappear. I was very pleasantly surprised. I feel as if all products claim to be wonderful for the skin, but they all don't really do the job. This, however, has done wonders for me. My skin feels great and looks great!

Overall, definitely worth the money! I still have quite a lot of this product left, but I would most definitely think about purchasing a full size!

Thanks for tuning in!

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock....

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought. We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you. Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas. Almo...

DIY IKEA Kitchen Shelf

It is finally complete! I have been working on decorating this bad boy for a few weeks now and I'm in love! Thanks to my dear husband we were able to turn this cheap IKEA shelving unit into an adorable farmhouse style kitchen shelf pretty easily. See below for our step by step! This is the IKEA Mulig Shelving Unit which is $59.99 for the largest size. This measures 47 1/4x13 3/8x63 3/4 " We purchased a 3/4" piece of plywood at Home Depot in which we got cut in store for each shelf. These measure 46 1/2" by 13" Also at a Home Depot we purchased a tube of Loctite Power Grip and a small can of Golden Pecan stain . This stain matches a few other items in our house so they would all look cohesive. Once home, let the staining begin. After one coat of stain was dry we used the Loctite to place the plywood on the shelves...
