Recently I was introduced to Beauty Box 5, a
subscription-based company that sends both samples and full size products out
every month for a low fee. It’s like the
gift that keeps on giving! They even have a referral program called “Sharing is
Caring”. With their program, when you
share Beauty Box Five with just five of your friends, you will receive a month
free! Can you imagine sharing with all
of your friends and getting the hottest make up all year round?
This month’s box included three products that I just had to
tell you about.
Blinc Mascara is remarkable!
It really gave me a wet eye-lash look and for the first time, I found a
mascara that really did give volume without clumping. This is an A+ in our book, especially when it
lasted all day without smearing or smudging.
Perfect!
OFRA Diamond Glitz 3D loose shadow was another great product
included in this box. I don’t generally
buy loose eye shadow because somehow I always manage to get it everywhere
except on my eyes. But this went on
pretty smooth and blended really well for a fresh and natural look. I really enjoyed OFRA 3D Loose Shadow and you
should give them a look on their website, CLICK HERE
Blum Naturals provided Natural Oil Absorbing Facial Tissues
to the beauty box, and what a hit they were!
During our office party this weekend, there was entertainment, games and
we danced the night away. These sheets
came in handy to help keep my make up looking fresh all night long and helped
me maintain a lasting professional appearance.
The annual office party is a rather big deal for my husbands
company, and being the bosses wife I was thankful for these products that helped
me uphold my professional appearance. Blum
Oil absorbing facial tissues kept my skin fresh and Blinc Mascara, well let’s
just say I was not the one that had coon eyes at the end of the night! I guess I should have shared my mascara
because some of those girls looked down right scary!

We sat down and gave
the boys the box that came from Peanut Butter Crave today, and when Jeramiah
opened it up he had a world of questions.
“Mom how do they help all these children?”
The design
of the puck is amazing and the lid can’t just be popped right off. This particular design must be twisted to
remove the lid which gives me some added security that young kids wont be able
to get into them. These are not a gummy throat drop either, they
are soft and chewy yet tough enough to last and truly sooth a sore throat. I like
these a lot better than regular drops because while they don’t taste just like
candy which can be dangerous for children who believe they are candy, the are
very enjoyable when you are under the weather. 
Your Novel has really come up with a one of a kind
personalized gift and I am blown away!
What if I told you, that you and your hubby could be featured in a
romance novel that’s so specifically written for you it even has the make of
your car included in it? 
Each bag of Fruit Crisps includes
real freeze dried fruit without any preservatives, which is why we were so
interested in try them. The Peach Fruit
Crisps are my favorite and I was really surprised to find out that each bag
contains an entire two servings of fruit, what a healthy and convenient way to
snack! 
I was rather ready for our Sunday Morning shopping trip this
week. Honey had a list that included
ingredients for jerky and I had coupons in hand for some of my favorite
products including Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser Starter Kit and Glade
Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter Kit. 
I
have heard time and time again that organic foods are better for you, safer for
the environment and some even say they taste better. So one might say I have had a rather sheltered
life. Growing up I thought eating healthy was as simple as eating wheat bread
rather than white and Gator-aid rather than soda. I had no idea what healthy food really
consisted of. And if you have been following along with
AlyGators then you know we have decided to get far away from processed food as
we can. For the sake of my belt it’s a
must!
When
I first found Newman’s Own Organics, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I am still learning what healthy food really
is. Newman’s Own Organics really taught
me a lesson this week, and that is just because a food states that it is
organic, doesn’t mean it’s not full of flavor and joy. My guilt free pleasure this week was their
Chocolate Carmel Cups! Can we say WOW!!!!
Sure it might have been 9PM but it was so incredibly good I just couldn’t
resist! The company features five different
flavors to choose from in their chocolate cups.
There really is just about something for everyone! 
Hubby
likes their pretzels; he’s trying harder than I am at this diet thing. Of course the kids come home and they just
want something sweet or a snack as soon as they walk in the door. Mr. Madison especially liked the Fig Newman’s
and Alphabet cookies. I’m actually not
sure if he liked playing with the Alphabet cookies or eating them more but
either way they were a fun treat for him.
When I was first approached by Buffalo Gals I was a little
nervous to receive Biscotti, after all the previous experiences and tastings it
has always been this hard flavorless cookie to have with my coffee. But Katy told me they were soft so I had to
give it a try. 
So we were provided a bottle of Onion Crunch, and so far I
have topped a salad, scrambled eggs, potato soup and a hamburger with them and
I have to admit they are a perfect season and topper to all of the above. I can’t wait to see what else I can put them
on. 
Now for the taste test, my boring breakfast was actually a
treat to enjoy as it had a hint of coconut flavor to my egg. It wasn’t a strong overpowering taste but
more of a subtle taste that I really enjoyed.
We will be using coconut oil to cook with many more things in this house
and I will be sure to share as the opportunity arises.
