Influenster Summer Beauty Box

A couple weeks ago, I received my first Influenster box. For those of you who don't know,  Influenster is a company that ships you boxes for FREE to try out new products. You sign up and then you begin to earn badges. Badges are the things that tell you apart from everyone else. It tells Influenster about your dislikes and your likes. For youtubers, there is a Youtube badge, for bloggers, there is a blogger badge, there's cat lover badges, brides to be badges, mother badges, and so on. There's a badge for everyone! Each badge you earn gets you closer to receiving a box.

I loved this Summer Beauty Box, it was full of goodies and some awesome product that i'm in love with that the moment! Influenster is really fun to get involved with, you can put reviews up of the products you tried and also read reviews that others put up. So if you like free stuff, head on over and sign up. There's nothing to it, I promise! Now scooch, go, get, now!

Here's what I got!

Always Tampax Radiant

I got a pouch full of feminine products. I love the pouch,

 its so cute and perfect for holding all that girly stuff in you purse.  

Quaker Soft Baked Bars

These bars are one of my favorite things to eat for a quick breakfast. 

I got the banana nut bread one and ohh! so good!

Even better when you pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds.

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Sunscreen Lotion

I was very surprised with this product. Being a sunscreen

I was expecting it to be super sticky and gross, but it's awesome. 

It smells great and actually I love using it for my hands 

(which usually don't get sunscreen protection). 

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

This was by far my favorite product that I got! 

This nail polish was always one of those things that I really 

wanted but never got. So I was pretty happy when I 

got it in the box. It looks great one!!

Sally Hansen Nail & Cuticle Hand Cream

This was another favorite. I tried it right away when I got it

and it works wonders. I love using it after I stripped off all the

nail polish and they're dry from the nail polish remover. 

Overall, I was very impressed with the box. I give it a good ol' A+. I can't wait to get my next one and see the goodies inside. As stated before, go check out the Influenster site! It's a great way to try out new products and it's FREE!! FREE!! 

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

a day with the man

My weekends always fall within the week. So last week, for my weekend (Tuesday and Wednesday) I visited that wonderful man of mine, Chris. Of course when I got there it had to be in the 90's plus humidity, which made the apartment living hell. We were blessed with some cooler weather the next day and we decided to take a little road trip up to one of my favorite places in Wisconsin, Cave Point County Park. It's only an hour away from where Chris lives, so we packed our bags full of goodies and drove on up to spend our afternoon in the sun and water.

It's one of my favorite places in Wisconsin, because it is so absolutely beautiful there. The park is right on Lake Michigan and the whole place is just covered in rocks that you can walk on. The waves from the lake come crashing over the rocks making it all the more beautiful. It's just a really great place to take a day trip to and walk around on the shore. Plus right next door is Whitefish Dunes State Park and they have a fabulous beach.

We hiked through the woods a bit to reach the state park area and headed down to the beach. We instantly stripped our clothes and ran for the water, but then instantly stopped when we felt how cold it was. Lake Michigan never will be warm. We went in anyway and once you body went numb, it wasn't so bad. :) We soaked up some rays then were forced out by the black clouds of the storm coming, which ended our great day and we drove back home. I couldn't have ask for a better way to spend the day.

The next few days consisted of more hiking, biking, and mopeding (is that a word too?). We biked into town one after noon for a day of shopping. We visited some of my favorite shops in Fish Creek like the candy store and all the little nik nak shops. I bought a ton of taffy and then even bought some ice cream on top of that. We sat on the pier eating our gigantic hawiian ices and ran into my little sister and her friend. They then became our photographers for some jumping pictures. We visited Egg Harbor to stop at the gelato shop, which has the best assortment of gelato flavors! There we did some more shopping and more shopping on top of that.

Other afternoons consisted of kayaking and sitting in the sun on the beach. I didn't bring my camera with for those events because I've had too many bad experiences with cameras and sand and water. Wasn't going to let that happen again. But kayaking was a blast, we rented a double and paddled our way to Horseshoe Island across from the beach. We also spent lots and lots of time at the campsite playing games, doing lots of reading, and sitting around the campfire. Camping is the best, ain't it? :)

and more pictures!
