The Tattooed Unicorn Review 🦄 🦄 🦄

Hey everyone! This is on a company I recently found through Facebook! The company is called The Tattooed Unicorn and they do bath and body products! They have tons of scrubs and awesome stuff. So after seeing several people rave how on well they are I had to get my hands on some of these amazing scrubs. 

So I went online and check out the site. The site was so easy to use and amazing descriptions of the scents. I ordered a scent called Marshmallow World for $11 and shipping was $7 so roughly $18 for the scrub. I was a little nervous because I usually don't spend that much n one item but I just had to try this out. So the wait being and if you know me you know that I HATE waiting!!! But here is how the scrub looked and description:





-three to 7 days later.....-

ITS HERE!!!

🦄 ðŸ¦„ 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 


I even got some samples! Granted I had to put them in different containers though due to my mail carrier probably being rough with my package (The samples came in quarter machine balls and got broken). And I also Got an adorable shovel and lip balm! 


They even sent a thank you card!! It's so cute! The cuteness of this company is on overload!!! I am so excited to try this bad boy out!!


Look how precious this unicorn little soap is!!! I am so in love and the smell is a very strong but yummy marshmallow scent!! How can you now love this?!?!?! My samples are lay me down for the bath salts and scrub. I didn't get a better picture of them sadly. But I had to enjoy them asap! They smelled perfect!!! 

Okay so after giving a few samples of this to my friends so they can try with me I am finally trying it for myself!


My poor unicorn is covered in scrub but as you can see it looks so heavenly. Okay time to use it!!! 

Review:
Okay so it does lather up very well!! The scent makes for a calming shower and last on your skin for quite some time! I will be ordering from this company again very soon because these have became my new obsession! I can;t wait to see what happens with this company this year!!! They have made a regular shopper for sure!!


Come check them out for yourselves::

A simply beautiful overview/reviews.



Okay so I am getting an amazing chance to review this beautiful company! The name is Sugar and Spice Gifts and Treats from Etsy and I have fallen in love with them! Wendy is such a beautiful soul and very sweet who comes from Canada (yes she does ship to the US). After discussing this review with her she sent me some item and I have got to say they are so perfect in person! Her products range between three to eleven dollars which isn't bad at all for amazing bath and body products! From the scents to presentation it is all just perfect! But instead of just saying how beautiful it is I need to truly show you how beautiful!


Cherry Cheesecake Lip Balm:
Okay this lip balm is amazing. The texture and scent is beautiful as well as how long it last on your lips! I did already try this product because I couldn't help myself and it now lives in my purse. It has replaces my EOS ball (which is my go to for everything!!!). 

Apple Pie Spice body scrub:
This is a very coarse scrub. As you can tell from the photos it looks rough but smells just like an apple pie.  It's not a very wet scrub but I imagine it will do wonderfully. The color is simply beautiful and I am so excited to try this out!  

Irish Cream Bath Bombs:
These bath beauties have me SOO excited! They smell just like Irish creamer for your coffee! I love the color and just how cute the hearts are! I also love how the containers are all blinged out! SO cute for a Valentines gift!


Strawberry Bath fizzy/soap:
These are from her kid collection! They have little surprise toys in them so I will have my daughter try these out some time over the week! They just look so adorable and I love the mini toys that come with them. I'm not sure exactly how the scent is with these because I still have them wrapped up as you can see but once we open them I will let you know!

Tropical Fruit Rainbow Block Soap:
ANYONE who knows me knows that I love anything rainbow! This soap just looks so beautiful and the cute little flower adds a tiny touch that it needs! I truly don't even want to open it because of how beautiful it looks! Another one I am not to sure about the scent on yet but once I sadly open it I will let you know! It just looks like a beautiful work of art!

Strawberries and Cream Shave Bar:
This one I am super excited about only because I have never used a shave bar! It looks so beautiful and has glitter in it! I can't wait to see how well this works for me and how beautiful this scent is!

Cherry Cheesecake Bath Salts:
I feel as if this scent is what Wonka's factory would smell like! Just a beautiful sweet scent and beautiful to look at. The container came wrapped with some polka-dot tape the came off so easy! I am so in love with this! The little rubber ducky on the lid adds such cuteness!

Pina-Colada Sugar Lip Scrub:
Another one I had to go ahead and try! The scent just smelled amazing and it taste just as good! It left my lips feeling super soft and looked amazing! I truly am in love with this lip scrub! Plus the lid came with a little skull sticker on the top! Please if you like lip scrubs try this out out asap!

Grapefruit Foaming Bath salts:
Citrus scent to perfection! This one really made me want to eat a grapefruit and have a fresh morning. It was a little coarse to touch but nothing to major! I am so excited for my next shower! Plus the little mason jar it comes in adds such a southern cute touch!

Pineapple Bath Bombs:
Never in my life have I seen mini bath bombs look so adorable! I love the whole pineapple look and it makes me think of a far away beach from all my stress! Too adorable and super exciting!

Blueberry Astronaut Soap:
Down side of living in Florida? Soap tends to get condensation. Either way this is another cute item! My daughter is going to love taking a bath with this and how sweet it smells! I

Dino Fun Soap:
Florida and it's horrible climate! I am in love with this soap! It has such a clean scent to it and looks like a dino! How can anyone say no to this adorable little guy!!!

Kiss My Lips Soap:
Another work of art! How cute it this? I am telling you this is a perfect gift for Valentines day! Such cute and smells so clean! I would love to get any of the items above!


Okay so slowly I will be trying each item and giving a more in depth review of each! But I can say that I love how everything looks and smells so far! It is for sure a company that I would buy from and tell my friends as well as family about! Please check out her shop and try it out for your self! You won't be disappointed. I am so excited to try everything out! Just smelling it all has made me want to take twenty showers!!

Just A Random Blog!

I remember when I first started this.  I never wanted to get to personal or into my real life. This was my outlet from my real life and what I wish my life was truly like. Just plan happy all the time and no worries. It worked for a little while but I still felt something missing. Crazy right? I mean I have an amazing husband and beautiful daughter that fill me up with so much joy and love that I shouldn't feel like something was missing. But I did, what I was missing was time. 

Time as in time with my family. I work as a CNA during a 2 pm to 10 pm shift. My daughter is six and in school, my husband works morning shifts so usually I never see either one of them til late at night when my daughter is asleep and hubby falling asleep. It makes such a rough impact on me because I feel as if I am missing all the little moments as a family. Granted I get to do the whole morning routine with my daughter and cuddle up to my hubby when going to bed but still I miss so much. Due to this I get into the whole depressed phase. Where I feel as if i'm not good enough because i'm never here or I can't do enough for the same reason. This leaves me in a funk until my day off and then I seem to smother them at times because i'm trying to make up for 5 days of not seeing them in 24 hours. 

This is something I've been struggling with for a while but sadly in this day and age it's become normal for parents to be away from their kids for long hours so they can pay bills and provide for said child. It's sad that we have to miss out on so much just to make sure that our child has food on the table and not without. With all this crazy depression in my mind I finally realized that I needed to change this. I need to figure out ways to make time for my family. I need to do random things to show them that I am still thinking about them throughout the day and I love them both!

So I realized that there is some things I could do for them to spend more time with them. Like go to the school to eat lunch with my daughter. Its more quality time with her and it would be a great memory for her to hold onto. Make dinner before work sometimes so my husband doesn't have to and can rest. Video chat my daughter before she goes to bed at night so I can tell her I love her. Wake up early some morning to cook for hubby before he goes to work. Let my mini me have a sleep over in my room once in a while. Have someone come into work for me early once in a while so I can surprise them. Just little things like this to have some time with them to help me get through the week. This is just where I am at in life and I just want them both to realize that I love them and that everything I do in life is for them. 

I told you this was just a random blog. But this was something I needed to get off my chest to help me breathe a little better. This is what I need to do not only for me but for my family as well.

Sorry for being away.. Please take a cookie!

Hey everyone I am so sorry for the delay in posting new stuff. I have just been so being trying to find myself and who I truly want to be. Have you ever just set out on a personal adventure driving randomly around town trying to discover something new? Well that has been me for the past month. I have been trying to find something new to spark me up again. I have just been so doubtful in my blog and real life that I needed a moment to myself. I realized that this is what I missed out of everything. I miss writing and being able to speak out people even if I only reach one person. I just want to do something that makes me happy and this blog truly brings me joy in life. I know it's just a little side hobby to some but to me this is a huge party of who I want to be. I'm not doing it to "get big" I am doing this because I enjoy it and want to give people my honest feedback on items I have personally tried! Also just to randomly post things I like. So to anyone who follows my blog I am truly sorry for just uprooting on you guys. Hopefully you can forgive me. To my new comers hello and welcome to my baby. I have lots of new blog ideas coming up for you guys so please stay tuned.

I love you all so much!

Apple Cinnamon Crisp Smoothie

Hey everyone! How is your Monday going? Okay so I wanted to do something a little different here lately. When I first started my blog I wanted to do a "Fat Girl Friday" post with super yummy foods! Well as time went by I was more into make up and completely forgot about my food part! Since I am on this new health kick (for how ever long I decide to try it this time lol) I wanted to share a recipe that was healthy and really yummy!

Apple Cinnamon Crisp Smoothie!

Who doesn't love anything with apple and cinnamon. With fall around the corner and I figured since everyone will soon be on the pumpkin craze (I myself will be as well) that I needed to make something for the ani-pumpkin people that was really yummy! I wanted to make it healthy though so here we go!


You will need the following:
1 Green Apple
1 1/2 cups of Silk soy milk (vanilla)
1/4 cup of Quacker Oats
3 dashes of Cinnamon 
Ice (Cartoon Character cup sized)

Tools:
Blender
Cup to put smoothie in

Okay so this is SOO easy to make and really yummy. This is for more of a thicker type of smoothie. I like mine thick, if you perfer a thinner one then add some more soy milk to it. 

Peel and cut up the apple into small pieces, place into blender and dash on the cinnamon.

Add a character cup full of ice into it (these cups are like .88 at Walmart. My daughter has a horrible habit of chewing on them though.)

Add your Oats!

Then pour on the milk and blend!

Pour into a glass and rink it down!

See how easy this was?!?! Super easy and really yummy! I am on a smoothie kick though so be prepared to see lots more of these bad boys coming onto this blog!

Jamberry Nail 7 day challenge!

Hey everyone! I hope you guys are having an amazing day! Today and for the next seven days I will be working on this blog. I will be updating it daily but I will explain why in a moment! So I recently got curious about the Jamberry Nail kits! I was wondering how long do they truly stay on? Are they hard to do? It is really worth the money? So I found an amazing lady online who has gotten me set up with a sample kit! She sent me these items to try and give a true test. I am very excited to try these bad boys out with you guys over the next week and show you how well they do hold up.

So as you can see I have a full set and then a sample sheet. What I am wanting to do is probably go for just a sample one and paint the rest of my nails so I can truly see how long these wraps would last vs just putting on some nail polish. I will say that the designs makes me super happy! They look very pretty and not blurry or tacky!

See How pretty they look! I adore these designs so much and if they are am amazing as I have heard then I will be ordering lots of these! They even have some Disney ones! I am super excited to try these pretties out so lets just get started!

Day 1: 
Applying!
Okay so starters I have to push back the cuticles.

Now time to clean my nails with this guy!


Okay so I picked this sample out of them all. I thought that it would look very pretty against a black polish which is what I plan to paint my nails with.

So you cut it in half.

Pick it up by a top corner. Heat the sticky side for a few seconds. I used my hair dryer to heat it up.

Place onto nail.

File off extra

Heat up strip on nail to make sure you have a solid bond. BAM your done!

I looked into my book to see if I could find the sample name and here it is!!!

So I finished this up with some black polish to go with it and here is my final nail look. I know I am terrible at painting my nails so I really hope these things work so I can actually have some nice looking nails!
So it wasn't hard to do at all! I love how they look and they are pretty easy to do! So far they have won me over but we still have some days to go!! 

Day 2:
Okay so as you can see some of the polish is chipping already. This is somewhat my fault because i did use cheap polish for this but still this is how they look so far. This is after wearing for one day and as you can see it hasn't chipped or ripped off. It has stayed on very well and still looks super cute. They are comfortable and I barely notice they are on. So far they are working wonderfully for me!

Day 3:
Alright so today was a great day as well with the wrap! This thing has stuck so greatly and hasn't snagged or tried to come off yet! The design still looks beautiful, I wish I could say the same about the rest of my nails though! Poor paint keeps chipping off. I am so ready to re-do my nails already but I want to do my hands with the wraps now instead of polish! 

Day 4:
Today I decided to rearrange my house. Well at least my daughters playroom and the living room. So I was moving a lot of toys and furniture around and the wrap held up to all of that! I wish I could say the same for the polish but sadly it looks very chipped off. Only three more days til I can finally re do my nails. Hopefully this wrap can hold it for three more days. I put a lot of stress on it today and it did amazing. This little thing is truly impressing me! Please ignore my smudged screen. I never noticed how bad it was til now. Poor computer screen.

Day 5:
Okay so I am noticing a little wear on the tip of the wrap. I am assuming that it is due to me working a lot around my house as well as my job. It still looks very pretty though and not as bad as the rest. You really have to get up close to see the tip of the nail is showing. Other then that they are still doing great! Only two more days to go and so far I love them! I'm not sure if you can notice or not but my pointer nail chipped. I have very weak nails so I have to keep polish on them so they don;t break. Since the polished chipped off my nail became weak and chipped.

Day 6:

One more day of this horrible polish look! It is driving me crazy! I Can't wait to take this polish off and do something different like wrap both of my hands without polish! Anyways as you can see i'm outside in this picture waiting for my daughter to get home from school. The polish is a wreck but the wrap still looks super cute! You can sort of see the edging of the wrap better in this picture. I think it has to do with how I filed off the excess. Anyways tomorrow is the final day AND my overall opinion on these things!

Day 7:
Sorry to keep you all waiting for the final day! I got called into work early yesterday and I got off very late so I wasn't able to write it but I did get a pic of my final day! Okay so you can see where my nails are beginning to bend and probably will break soon as well as the polish it pretty much gone at this point. Look how nice that wrap still looks though. I mean compared to the rest that still looks amazing and like it could last longer as well!

Overall Review:
Okay so after seven days of these beauties I realized that they are truly amazing. I also know that you realized I only showed you one hand this whole time and that's due to me not being able to take pictures on my phone with my left hand. Sad but true lol. Okay So some trips I realized that helped me make them last longer:
If you have odd shaped cuticles what helped me was to push them back a little far then place the wrap down and sort of pull the cuticle back over the wrap a little bit that way it doesn't try to push up the wrap and it looks more natural.
I believe using a clear coat over the wrap would help it not chip on the edge. I feel like it would help seal it in place so that's something I will be doing on my next wrap.
Anyways these are something I will be adding to my make-up collection for sure. They are so adorable and very comfortable. Also there is no dry time so give your self about 15 minutes to do them and your done!

If you want to take your own nail challenge please contact and order from this amazing lady below! She is such a great person and super friendly! I will be telling everyone about her in my area for sure!

Is This a Ipsy Bag Gem?

Hey guys! So my little sister gets the monthly Ipsy bag! An Ipsy Bag is a monthly subscription that cost ten dollars a month. You get awesome trial sizes that last a lot longer then just one time! I am still trying to decide if I want to get myself one or not so until then I just steal things from hers! Okay So i don't really "steal them" considering the fact that she only wants the skin cleaners from it anyways! So this month I wanted to try her benefit KA-BROW!  but instead of trying it on me I wanted to try it on her. Poor girl is going to hate me at the end of this!

So this is how it looks in the package still. It has a very adorable little package and a little detail paper attached to it. I love the whole magic theme it has with it and on the back of the page it shows all of the brow product there is. It says it comes in six different colors, but i'm not to sure what color we have.


So I placed it by a quarter for you to be able to see the size of the trial. Keep in mind the little brown pot at the bottom is how much of the KA BROW you get. Here is also a picture of it taken all apart for you to be able to see what it all looks like.


Time To Try!

Okay so her is my sisters brows before the lovely stuff placed onto them. I have never really tried to use stuff on brows so please excuse how jacked up this will probably look!! Okay so here we go!

Okay so this is with one brown done. I know it looks terrible! But it seems to go on pretty good. It's a little tricky getting it out of the tub but it glides on easy.


Here is both brows done and they so don't match but I feel I did so much better on the second one considering i knew what to do that time! They do seem to fill the brows in so good! She said you could barely feel it on there so it didn't feel like clown paint which is a plus! I had her go wash her face and she said she needed to scrub to get them off.

Final Opinion!
Her opinion on it was that personally she doesn't do make up so that isn't something she would use but if she did she would for sure have it in her make up daily bag! I found it easy to apply so that is a huge plus! I need more practice with it but it's something I want to learn more on how to use! I love the color and how it matches very well with the brows!
