Beauty Box 5! July 2014

So I accidentally received a second Beauty Box 5 subscription. Whoops! I mentioned last month that I received a free box from a Facebook ad, and I forgot to cancel my subscription. So here we are for a second month. I have now cancelled my box, and this will be the last one, but while we got it might as well share it right?

The first item, and my favorite of the bunch is Argan Oil from Morocco Hask. It's a hair mask, how creative with that title. I love hair masks, so this will be used very soon!

Next is a Starlooks eyeliner in the shade Obsidian. This is a dark black pencil liner. It's a good color, but I've received so many of these liners in subscription boxes, I'm kind of over it. Still good quality though.

Next is a full size Revlon Bold Lacquer mascara. I haven't tried this mascara, so I'm excited for it. Drugstore mascara is my favorite, so this will definitely be used.

I also received a scrub from Anna Naturals. This is the Glowing Mama Walnut Face and Body scrub and this stuff smells just like oranges. I love oranges and I love scrubs so it's a win win for me!

And lastly, a lip balm from Body Drench Candy Licious in the scent Lime Gumdrop. This reminds me of the Soft Lips balm, which I never liked, so this is really an ehh for me.

Overall, I like Beauty Box 5. I'm not in the market for. New subscription box, but if I was I would definitely go for this instead of Birchbox. This service is $12 a month, which is reasonable.

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...

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....

Why I'm No Longer Purchasing from Erin Condren

I'm fully aware that some people might not agree with me on this topic, but I really need to share my experiences with Erin Condren as well as my opinions on why I do not plan on purchasing from this brand any longer. Customer Service Good customer service is what makes a company, and unfortunately that is NOT Erin Condren's top priority. My personal experience with the customer service has been half and half. The policies and responses to customers is never consistent which makes me believe they make do not have any rules and guidelines for dealing with customer issues. In my opinion a company should have guidelines for handling issues and complaints. Quality Control I have placed a total of 25 orders with Erin Condren over the past 5 years. Within the last 2 years 4 out of 5 orders have arrived either incorrect, flawed, or completely wrong. Again, only in my opinion, the way that this company lets orders leave there facility tells me that they don't...
