Super Adorable Christmas Crafts



Christmas has to be my favorite time of the year.  All the pretty lights and decorations.  The family gatherings and traditions, etc.  Just so many things make it wonderful.  And the crafts, we can't forget the amazing, incredible and creative crafts that people come up with every year!!

This is a compilation of some adorable ones I've ran across so far!!  I'm sure I will end up making another post if I find more!!  I love Christmas!!


November Etsy Feature



My Etsy feature this month is Paintings By Connie

I do have to be honest and say this is my mother..lol.  But I do want to get her work out there more and seen by more because they are absolutely beautiful.  My mother is a beautiful person inside and out and we've come a long way together.

But just look at that painting!!  It's an ORIGINAL painting on Canvas (and yours won't be watermarked, I did that to protect her paintings).

All her paintings are original canvas paintings, so you're NOT getting a print but an original.  And the paintings are amazing!!

Go check out her shop, favorite some items, maybe even purchase would be wonderful for her!!


November Birchbox



I used to subscribe to Birchbox several years ago and it was such a disappointment after a while.  But I guess they revamped themselves as they are one of my favorite  boxes now.

I love all the variety I get with them.  Not JUST makeup or skincare or haircare, but a mix of everything!!

And of course we cannot forget the point system.  The point system at Birchbox is SOOOOOO much better than the one at Ipsy I think.  With the points you gain at Birchbox you can choose ANYTHING from their store.  While the one at Ipsy you only get a small choice of items to choose from.  I just cashed in 400 points I had been saving at Birchbox (which equals to $40 worth of products) for a foundation I've been wanting!!  And it had free shipping so I think all I paid out of pocket was $1.40 for the tax.

Tidy Globe Car Trash Bag




This is an awesome Trash Bin to use in the car!!

It is lined on the inside with a waterproof vinyl like fabric to keep spills from NOT leaking all over your car!! It works wonderfully too. Fits right onto one of your front car seats to face the back seats.

I have three children - 16, 13, & 7 and trust me, between them, my husband and I, my car can get messy fast!! Especially on trips. This keeps all my trash tidy in one place, WITHOUT the reeking smells. You can zip it up and hide all the smells in the trash.

The 3b Box November Review



I love this subscription!!  It's so much fun!!  I love the Japanese and Korean Beauty products I get every month for less than $20 a month!!

Go to The 3b Box - you MAY have to get put on the Waitlist for a bit, I got off of mine within a month and a half several months ago, so I'm not quite sure how long the wait is now.  It's $12 a month and you get to try 4-5 items each month from Korean and Japanese brands mostly.  Most of the item you also get a full size item with each kit.  All the items come inside a pretty little purple mesh bag and packed nicely in a box!!


NuvoCig Hooka & Vape Electronic Cigarettes



I have been a smoker since before I was 18.  The statistics show that most young people start smoking before they're 18 years old.  It's scary and honestly I wish I had never started.  It's not easy to quit.  It's a pain in the ass honestly.  I've quit before and then went through a major life change and started up as if I had never quit a year later.  And now for the life of me, have had so many issues trying to quit again.  It's been rough and hell.  I get stressed really easily and well cigs have always been my stress reliever.  But I'm honestly tired of the way they make me feel, tired of feeling tired pretty much.  Tired of not being able to do anything.

Midori Spring Matcha



I'm not a fan of Matcha with hot tea. It just doesn't taste very well to me like that. Even with honey or sugar!

But I do like it blended with smoothies! I add it to almost all my smoothies. It's a nice rounded Matcha flavor, by itself it does have a bitter twang to it and needs to have honey to smooth it out. It blends well with all kinds of fruits and veggies. Here is one I use:
