I'm now a LuLaRoe LOVER!!!

If you haven't heard of LuLaRoe by now you might need to take a moment to read this blog. LulaRoe is the hottest new top of the line clothing with affordable prices.

I met my LuLaRoe lady, Rebecca, a few months back and it has been a great experience. I have learned so much about LuLaRoe and all of the wonderful clothes they have to offer. Let me just say one thing . . . LEGGINGS! 



All my stars! These are the best leggings anyone can ever own. I am a bigger lady and my thighs rub together. So finding a pair of leggings that last without getting a hole in them. Well these do that job. I loved and still love my LuLaRoe leggins and even wore them as part of a Halloween outfit this weekend. Everyone at the party was loving them and loved how soft they were.

LuLaRoe has more than just leggings. They have all types of clothes from dresses to shirts and skirts, and so much more, for  women, kids, and, most recently, men, with an extensive selection of sizes and patterns. The best thing is that the designs come and go fast. So if you see something you want you need to snatch it up asap because it wont be there the next day. You must be the first to claim an item because it may also be the only one your consultant might have. However if your LuLaRoe consultant doesn't have something you are looking for you can always go to another one or ask your consultant if she can find it for you.

My favorite line so far is The Carly. This dress is awesome, comes in a fun funky pattern, is high low, and you can go a bigger size, or even more! If your a little lady and you can only get your hands on a 2XL that is no problem. Just bunch it under the bustline like my LuLaRoe lady Rebecca and rock it out!


Rebecca challenged me to style this dress three different ways and I did. First you up is a nice neutral sun hat for a day out on the town or by the lake.




Next up is a beautiful scarf that complements the colors. That way you can protect your hair, bundle up if it's cold, wear it as a shawl, and remove it if you start to warm up.


The last suggestion is just adding some accessories like a long necklace and earrings.

If you happen to be a part of a pop up boutique consider yourself lucky, even more so if it's an in home party. You will be getting the best customer service and support from your LuLaRoe consultant. These ladies and gentlemen are truly there to support you and make you look as well as feel great in all of your LuLaRoe clothes. The best part is that LuLaRoe is foe everyone, sixes range from XXS to a 3XL All of their clothes are designed to flatter another one and to look great on any size. 

A lot of their clothing can be fashioned into something else. Like you can take The Carly and turn it into a skirt if you are a smaller lady with a bigger size. Take the Irma tunic it can be worn as 4 different tops, 2 different dresses, and 2 different skirts, as well as layered over other pieces to create an infinite number of looks.

Consultants get to pick what styles and sizes they want to carry and that is what makes each consultant so different and unique. They however do not get to pick their patterns. Everything they receive is a surprise! So like I said above you need to snatch something up ASAP because everything is limited, like only 5,000 pieces cut from one pattern limited. However that's not a problem, just find you a multi consultant pop up boutique and shop away!

I am in love with LuLaRoe and hope to one day become a consultant myself. This is one awesome clothing line that will always remain the hottest thing.

How would you style The Carly if you were able to get your hands on it?

Review of PowerSpa Extra-Large 7-Setting 5" Face Showerhead, Chrome.

I normally don't use shower heads that aren't hand held. So this was a new experience for me. The shower head was very easy to install and I had to install it on our extender. We live in an old house with a very short shower head height. So being able to install it easy, with no problems and no leaks as a major must. 


Here are a few of the different shower head options you get



I really love the powerful mist option. It's one of the greatest experiences anyone can get from a shower head. It's like a waterfall mist, I've been to Niagara Falls and it takes me back to those moments as a teen. It's just wonderful. My next favorite setting is the massage setting. It sooth's your sore neck and back very well and you leave the shower feeling refreshed. The photo on the left is the one I use the most for my normal showering and it works great for your every day needs. Over all it's a great shower head and I really liked using it. The only down side for my is is doesn't have a hand held option and it can be hard to switch between the different settings with one hand, a lot of the time I have had to use two hands. I give it a 8/10.

Here's a short little video I did of. You will see how short my shower originally was. It was a little hard to do a one handed.

#LorealMakeup Review

I don't use makeup as much now and days but when I do I like to use items that work great with minimal effort . . . step in L'Oréal Paris and their awesome line of products.




I ended up receiving this L'Oréal Paris VoxBox for free from Influenster and put it to the test. I tried out all of the products and found out I loved everything.

My favorite had to be the Primer/Mascara combo and the brow kit. I for one love t make my eyes pop and boy do these two do that for you!


Before                                            After 

I like that I didn't end up with spider eyes, as I have with other primer/mascara combos. My eye lashes were longer and fuller than normal and didn't feel weighted down. Over all very please with every part of my voxbox and I will be purchasing more as I run out.

Review - Keliwa Silicone Muffin & Cupcake Baking Pan



I just got finished using the Keliwa silicone muffin and cupcake baking pan for tonight's dinner. I made muffin pan corn dogs. 
 First thing I did was follow the care instructions for the silicone muffin pan which was to was it with warm soapy water, so I did that. Then I lightly coated the muffins cups with oil, and it's recommend that you do this throughout its use. 


After that I placed it on my baking sheet, mixed up my ingredients poured it all into the muffin pan. It did take slightly longer to cook then what the recommended cooking time was. So when you use this product make sure you adjust your time accordingly and always check to make sure your food is cooked fully.


 Getting the hot dog muffins out with super easy, all I had to do was push the bottom and they popped right out. Actually I made the mistake of trying to pick him up from the top and because of the hot dog the inside was still moist from the steam it kind of crumbled some in my hand. However there was no sticking whatsoever of the muffin hot dogs to the silicone pan. Cleanup was easy as well I just rinsed it out with warm water and put it on my top dishwasher rack. I really love using this silicone pan a lot better than metal baking pans. I think it's a waste of money to buy cupcake liners and not having to buy them is a plus for me. Overall I really enjoyed the Keliwa silicone muffin and cupcake baking pan and I recommend you give it a try.

Review of Silicone Baking Mat Set 2 Pack.

Cook FX has a really nice 2 pack Silicone Baking Mat Set. I've seen a lot of silicone mats but never thought to try one out. When these two arrived I started out with something simple. 


Chocolate chip cookies! My family was super excited. I have two older baking sheets, with baked on junk from years of use. So I put the green one to use. The cookies, once done, came right off the mat. No sticking, no breaking, just perfect little cookies. Parchment paper has never been that good to me.

Next up I made a really awesome crusted chicken. It contained a cheesy milk coating with seasoned breadcrumbs. They came off the baking sheet super easy and fast. As a matter of fact the chicken slid around on the mat because it was not sticking to it at all. Clean up both times was very easy. I basically just scraped what was on there into the trash and then I used hot soapy water to clean the mats. 

Last night however I let my husband get the chicken ready on a baking mat. He end up putting a lot of sauce on the chicken. Whenever we pulled out the baking sheet there was burnt on thick sauce all over the mat. I was really concerned that it wouldn't clean up at all and that it ruined the baking mat. Luckily though a spatula scraped on the top removed all of the baked on mess! 
 
I am so happy that my baking mat was not ruined at all and I was a little amazed by how well everything was able to be removed off the mat. As I was doing it my husband was like you "should so video that so that people can actually see it working because nobody's going to believe you" so guess what I did a video! 






Overall I'm extremely pleased with these two silicone baking mats, and I am impressed by how well these actually work. Over the years I've used many different baking pans that are supposed to be non stick and I've use foil, parchment paper, other things like that and I've never had anything as good as these silicon baking mats!

Grievo Car Garbage Bag & Car Organizer review




I have been putting the Grievo Car Garbage Bag & Car Organizer to the test the past week and a half. I was surprised that my family actually used them at all. My bunch tends to be a messy one that likes to leave things and trash all over my car. It is always driving me crazy and every night I take an arm full of trash and miscellaneous items into my home to put away/toss out.

I was impressed to see the Garbage bag so well built and all of it's bells and whistles. I has a built in liner that helps stop leaks, a place for wipes/napkins, a bottle holder, and two mesh pockets. I actually ended up using it as the organizer because it was the perfect size for all of my kids toys they like to leave in the car. It is very versatile in that way. I love that it has a strap with a clip and is able to be adjusted to hang wherever you please. I did test the leak protection and it works great. I didn't have any water in my car and it was easy to clean.

Here it is as in use -

 As you can see I am hanging it from my passenger side head rest. We moved it around a lot to figure out where my kids like it best. My oldest sits in the middle of the car and has to climb in and out. The garbage bag holds up well and nothing falls out of it. I like that we can velcro it shut and stop anything from falling out of the top part.

Next up is the car organizer, we ended up using this as a second trash can because we did a lot of traveling this past week and a half. It came in handy and was easy to move through out the car as well. I just put a little trash bag in it and had no problems with it standing up at all. It has a mesh pocket that is great for holing bigger items. I like that both of these items are built with the best materials and hold up well to a rowdy bunch that likes to leave a mess in their path.

Over all I am pleased and very happy with the products.

Cell Phone Clip Holder Bracket plus Desktop Stand Review

I have found my favorite new item that is cell phone related! It's a Cell Phone Clip Holder Bracket plus a Desktop Stand! I have been using my cell phone clip holder to record videos, read book, follow recipes and to do things involving my phone hands free! i also like that you get the little desktop stand as it comes in handy when you are wanting to sit back, relax and not hold your phone at the same time. I read a lot of ebooks so my hand gets tired from holding my phone for so long. The cell phone clip holder is very durable, sturdy and is easy to bend in any direction as needed. Also it's super easy to put together! That is an extra plus! Check it out here - https://amzshark.com/r/cellholderstand and if you do happen to get your own #cellphoneholderstand let me know in a comment below what you think!
