February Allure Beauty Box

It’s here! The February Allure Beauty Box! If you didn’t see my last post about it I’m a big fan of subscription Beauty Boxes and have tried many. I love getting new products to try every month that I don’t know about previously. There’s no huge commitment to buying a big product you aren’t sure about yet. Other Beauty Boxes don’t have the quality or size of the Allure Boxes and for two months now I have been very impressed! There isn’t a ton of packaging and you get FULL SIZE products included in your box. This is my second month of my subscription to The Allure Beauty Box through Amazon. They Amazon have many types of subscription boxes on their site and Allure was my first to try.

When it arrived it was nicely packaged in the box it came in (with instructions for all of your products!) and items were wrapped in tissue paper. Not a lot of junk to throw away. As you can see from the photo 3 items are full size products (it seems you get 3 full size every month). I love that. No trial sizes here. Full size this month are Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion, Topicals Like Butter Hydrating Mask, and Mented Cosmetics Liquid Lips in Blood Orange. The shipping is free (unlike other beauty box companies) and the box is $23.00 and you can cancel at anytime. Since it’s Amazon it’s really easy, unlike some others. I’m excited to try these fun products and I think this would make a great gift for any beauty lovers in your life (or yourself!). Click the photo below to check it out for yourself. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Have You Heard About Amazon Aware?

Recently Amazon started a new program called Amazon Aware. All of their Amazon Aware products are certified as carbon neutral and feature certifications that are part of the Climate Pledge Friendly Program. I am very excited to find Amazon Aware because finding products with these certifications all in one place is very hard. Many of the fabrics used are organic (free of pesticides and other harmful chemicals) and the processes used to make these are less harmful to the Earth and in the long term (and short term) us as well. They have a range of Women’s Clothing, Men’s Clothing, Household Essentials, Beauty Products, and Bed & Bath Products. There is really something for almost everyone (I’m hoping a children’s range is next!) and multiple color options for each in great Spring/Summer colors. There are some great pieces in each line (both Women’s and Men’s) that would make a fantastic capsule wardrobe and is perfect for travel!

Roses And Candles

Sometimes as a Mom, you need something special just for you. For me, it’s flowers and candles. They make me happy and the smell can be an instant mood lifter.  I’m a sucker for anything with roses & the candles from Diptyque are fantastic (though pricey).  🥀🌹 If you like the smell of roses, this candle is for you! It smells AMAZING! They have other scents, but I love the one below. You can get it in store or click the photo. It smells like fresh cut roses and is perfect for a bedroom, bathroom or to use when taking a bubble bath. I use it when I’m doing my makeup and hair to go out somewhere and it always lifts my mood instantly!  They have many candle accessories (such as this carousel) as well that make your candles sparkle a little brighter.

Another option that is more budget friendly is Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day soy candles. They are made with soy wax and essential oils. The Lavender smells really nice and the Peony is wonderful. I really like their seasonal scents like Apple Cider and Iowa Pine.

Have you tried Amazon Explore?

This last Summer when Delta had taken over and traveling internationally just wasn’t possible for us, my family decided do take a few trips right from our computer. I was offered a special deal to try out Amazon Explore and take my daughter on trips around the world daily – from home. We did this as sort of our Summer School. We would plan for what trip we were taking and what we were seeing there, then making dinners from that country and sometimes a fun craft as well. This has been happening for about 6 Months with Amazon and many of the sample trips we did in the beginning are no longer there and have been replaced with different ones.

It is a wonderful experience and almost all of the tour guides we had were amazing. We traveled to Paris, Japan, Barcelona, Madrid, Costa Rica, New Orleans, and so many more. Each tour was completely different depending on where it was, who was leading it and what you asked them to show you. You see and hear them and the area around them (most are walking tours) but they can only hear you (which must be very weird for them!). You can take photos as well which you can download and save of your trip. I have heard they are now doing group tours as well to cut costs but we didn’t experience any of those. There are many more we can’t wait to take. If you’re looking for a fun, cultural, educational experience for the whole family to make the world around them see a little more available right now, check out Amazon Explore.

Allure Beauty Box

I am a huge fan of subscription Beauty Boxes and have tried many different over the years. I love the idea of getting to try many new products every month that I may not have heard of or wanted to try but didn’t want to commit to buying a full size without knowing if I liked it. Many leave a lot to be desired when it comes to quality of the products, or the small trial size you recieve. It’s a lot of fluff in packaging but not much product. I recently tried a subscription to The Allure Beauty Box through Amazon. I discovered that Amazon has a significant amount of subscription boxes on their site and this was my first one to try.

When it arrived it was nicely packaged in the box it came in and items were wrapped in tissue paper. Not a lot of junk to throw away. Right off I knew 4 of the brands and am a big fan of two (Sunday Riley & Bliss in particular). As you can see from the photo 3 items are full size products (it seems you get 3 full size every month). I love that. No trial sizes here. The shipping is free (unlike other beauty box companies) and the box is $23.00 and you can cancel at anytime. Since it’s Amazon it’s really easy, unlike some others.

The Best Makeup I’ve Found Recently

I have found some wonderful makeup lately that not only achieve a great look easily but also save me time. With wearing masks and Zoom meetings the need to “glam up” has changed a bit but here are the new finds that I absolutely love. Most can be found on my Amazon list here but one that can’t is listed below it. With my link you will receive a $5 gift card to use at Static Nails. I really love their products because they are easy to use and made with great ingredients. I haven’t been disappointed with any of these things I’ve included and they make life in this crazy time feel a little more normal when you still want to feel a little pop of glamour.

A Model Baby

When my daughter was just over one year old she shot her first product packaging and print job as a model for the company Lulyboo. She had a great time doing it and enjoyed her first day in front of the camera at a professional photo studio.

I have worked as a model since I was a teenager and it was amazing to see her so comfortable on her first photo shoot (I know I wasn’t!). The whole team was so wonderful and knew just how to work with a baby and make her feel at ease. We shot at a studio in San Diego, California and she had a great day.

Here is her ad for their Shopping Cart & Highchair cover. It is perfect for travel, has a zippered pocket and even has a place for a tablet or phone to keep kids busy while you shop or dine if you choose to. You can purchase it on the Lulyboo website, at Amazon, ToysRus, Target, Walmart, BuyBuyBaby, Bed Bath and Beyond and many more retailers.

 Since then she has done more shoots and enjoys playing to the cameras (and all of the attention) but this was her first professional modeling job and we will never forget it and the wonderful crew she worked with at Lulyboo.

Monkeying Around

Some of the hottest toys for Christmas this last year were the Fingerling Monkeys. They are small little toy animals that make sounds and reactions based on your actions. They giggle, blow kisses, coo, and even fart and burp. Kids obsess over them and parents and other adults do too! Fingerlings are small so they are portable (great for travel) and have an on/off switch in addition to going to sleep after 5 minutes of not being played with.

When I saw these toys I set out to get one for my daughter for Christmas. I thought they were pretty fun, but I had NO IDEA how much she would love them! They truly are the toy of the year! Check out our new friends Bella & Finn!
