Princereigns Ingrown Hair Serum - GIVEAWAY

This might be a little bit TMI, but here we go: I hate ingrown hairs!

Lets be real... us ladies need to take care of the hairy business down there and if you don't, then that really sucks. It would be awesome if we didn't have to bother with it... amazing, actually! So since we DO have to do some maintenance in the bikini area, its not always smooth, is it? (Hehe! I made a funny!) If you've never had to experience with razor bumps caused by shaving or waxing, then consider yourself lucky! Unfortunately, I do. I admit that I have never tried any kind of products to treat it. I've heard of things like "Tend Skin" that supposedly helps with ingrown hairs and razor bumps and such, but they've always been pretty expensive and I usually don't want to spend that kind of money on such a minor problem.

Not too long ago, I came across this product called "Princereigns Ingrown Hair Serum".

It says "all natural", so thats gotta be good, right? I got a bottle and gave it a go. I will admit that since I haven't used it for too long, I can't tell you that this is a miracle product or serum, but I can honestly say that I have seen small improvements from such a short period of time using it. Its unfortunate I didn't have it earlier for my trips where I was in a bikini more often than now (Fall), but I will definitely be saving this baby for the warmer seasons to come. Time flies, so that is just around the corner! Maybe I will remember to give a better review for it later... please remind me if you do remember.

I am now reading that celebrities and models use it to achieve a flawless complexion. I never thought to use it on my face, but let me try it and let me know how it turns out.

If razor bumps and ingrown hairs is a serious problem for you, then it wouldn't hurt to give this product a try. I've read other great reviews... and reviews just don't lie. As I said, so far, so good!

My Zeno Heat Treat - Behind the Scenes!!

I am so excited to share this with all of you!

As some of you may remember, I had the honor of hosting 'The City' Season Finale viewing party back in July.  Some of my guests got to take home a Zeno Hot Spot and a bunch of other goodies (thank you for coming, by the way).  I love Whitney Port and was lucky enough to get some of these behind the scenes footage from her recent Zeno Heat Treat commercial sent to me and I just want to share it with all of your readers out there.

Its kind of cool to see how it works and I love anything behind the scene... you just feel like you are a part of it all.  Whitney even shares some of her beauty regimens... and she's such a natural beauty so that is definitely a treat.  Check it out!

I'm going to try to get a hold of the Zeno Heat Treat and see how it is... I hope it works wonders!  I love and miss my Hot Spot so much... I accidentally dropped it in water not too long ago and I miss it!  *cries*  At least I got to use it many times and it saved the day at my Best Friend's Wedding!  (The Bride had a huge zit on her forehead and my handy dandy Hot Spot came to the rescue and it was gone the day of the wedding... I swear... amazing!)

Eyelashes Giveaway!

Not too long ago, I came across this website that sold eyelashes for cheap! I was sort of skeptical about them at first because of the price and thought, "they can't be THAT great!".

Well, I was wrong... so wrong! I love these more than the eyelashes that I purchase locally for about five times the price. I even told some other Makeup Artists that I worked with this past weekend about the website... I recommended it to those who know the good stuff... thats how much I liked them!

The website shows tons of different styles, but I decided to go with five that are dramatic and ones that I do not already have anything similar to. My order shipped quick and got here in about four days... amazing! I also got free shipping and a free pack... hopefully they still have that offer.

Anyway, since I have about 50 pairs right now and am feeling a little generous, I am going to give away a few pairs.

I AM HOSTING THIS GIVEAWAY MYSELF SO TRUST THAT THESE PLAYFUL AND PLUSH LASHES WILL GET TO YOU QUICKLY... NO IF'S OR BUT'S ABOUT IT... I PROMISE YOU THAT!

1. Comment on this entry and let me know when you would most likely wear eyelashes. (ie. night out with the girls, date night, formal occasions, everyday, etc.) - Also include your name and email address!

Giveaway Deadline & Winner is chosen on Saturday, October 9th at 11:59PM PST.


Please note that I purchased these on my own and am giving these lashes away at my own will.


P.S. I am sick right now and wouldn't look too cute on camera, so sorry for the lack of pictures. I will try to add some a little bit later.  However, I was wearing a pair of the lashes in the picture posted in one of my earlier entries:  Lookin' Kinda Crazy

Printable Party Games - Review

Fun HOLIDAYS are just around the corner and I was trying to find a good way to entertain my friends if I was to have a usual Halloween and Thanksgiving get together.  Last Thanksgiving, we ended up with all of the guests' faces on the wall, and we used my "T" post-it (T for Thyda) for a game of "Pin the 'T' on the Turkey"!  (One player is blindfolded and spun and pins the "T" on a wall of faces.  If the face that got T'ed is yours, then you take a shot and repeat what the last player just did)  It was fun, but it got a little out of hand.

I came across this website where you pay $19.95 and they send you a link to download all of these fun printable games.  There are tons of games to choose from, I believe there are over 50 games that you can choose.  I downloaded most of them (way more than I would need) and am so excited and ready for my friends and family to play when they come over for the parties.  I am especially excited for the NFL related ones because I know that my Husband and his friends are going to be ALL over that.  Now, I have to come up with some prizes for the winners of all these games.

Printable Games 

Note:  Games are not only for Halloween and Thanksgiving, there are plenty that are related to the highly anticipated season of Fall (Autumn).

If you like to host parties and want to bring back some old school fun and like a little friendly competition with your guests, I highly recommend this.  And if you are a teacher, you have basically hit the jackpot!  (A few of my friends are teachers and I just KNOW that they are going to love this)

PRIME... all the TIME!

A few years ago, I participated in a Smashbox Model Search type competition online. It wasn't anything serious and honestly, I just wanted to win some free makeup after a photographer told me about the contest and prize and encouraged me to enter. Yes, I did remind people to vote for me (thanks, by the way) and I made it to the Top 50 nationally and won about $300 worth of makeup! YAY me!!

One of the products that I won was this:



I fell in LOVE with it and it was the first time I had ever used a face primer and since then, I swear by face primers! They really do make a huge difference and they are great to wear alone!

After spending how much ever dollars at Sephora, I was rewarded with a sample.... and one of them was this:


Okay... I found a new love! The other day while I was at Sephora, I treated myself to a full bottle of this baby and am currently stroking my face as I type this! (You're welcome for the visuals... lol) I love the feel of it because its so silky feeling and absorbs so well!

Don't get me wrong... I love the Smashbox primer still, but I go through those things so quickly that it can get really expensive! Another thing that I don't like about both of these is the packaging. You usually can't use it to the last drop unless you are lucky enough to find it in a pressure type of pump (not the regular one, but the one that actually literally pushes the product out of there). Good luck with that!

Anyway, I highly recommend both of these, but if you are like me and want to save a few bucks, go with Tarte! They're both fabulous but I feel that the Smashbox one is lighter if you don't want anything too heavy. However, the Tarte one is extra smooth and silky feeling and the heavier side might be beneficial for those with rough/dry spots on your face (like me around my nose area).

Let me know what you think about them! Happy face priming!

Hope... my new obsession!

I've always loved philosophy's line... especially with their cute packaging that was simple, yet catchy and different and interesting. I always felt like their product was too expensive (though I have spent more on other stuff, unfortunately), so I never really gave it a shot except for gift sets I would get from people or small gift sets that I would get for myself.

After trying a small sample of this, I was in love:



I just HAD to go back and get some more because it was something that really worked for my dry skin that seemed to be more of a problem in cold weather (as it is for most). Its the only thing that really keeps my nose area hydrated all day long without making my face feel sticky, heavy, or icky. I love this thing!! I admit... the smell isn't very pleasant, but you get kind of used to it and its not that bad after awhile considering the miracles that its doing for my skin, bring on a skunk and I'd be okay with it! (Okay not really)

Its a moisturizer that hydrates, exfoliates, and protects... what more can you ask for? LOVE it!

If you haven't already, give it a try and let me know what you think because personally, I love it! Sure, its a bit more expensive than the moisturizers that I can afford, but it really is an investment if I only have to use a quarter as much prodct as I would my usuals. And to find something that actually works? Priceless!!

Have you tried it? Use it? Love it? Hate it? What do you think! Do share!
