Stepping Into Spring Swap

A few weeks ago I signed up to be a part of 
this "Stepping into Spring Swap" w/ Allie, Brin, Ricci & Jenn
 
We swapped flip flops & nail polish.. duh of course I would enter!
 I love nail polish! =P

They paired us with our partners & mine was Carrie @ Carried Away

Here is what she sent me! ;


I just loved everything! the theme was great, and that box was sooo cute! 
Thanks again Carrie. We should def do this again =)
I enjoy doing these & like I've said before the best part of being a 
blogger is the doorbell ringing and a package waiting for you!

Best Bubbles Ever! ;&OHP

Been looking for the Best Bubbles Ever?!

Look no further! I found them. Well really my mom did.
and for only $4.99 at TXMAXX!
I'm pretty sure you can find them at more places but my mom got this set a TxMaxx.

When my mom brought this set home for Josiah, I was very anxious to see if the bubbles were any good! Let's face it, like men..(I just had to throw that in there HAHA) good bubbles are hard to come by!Or maybe I'm just used to dollar tree and wal-mart bubbles. I've never used this brand before last week!

If you have a little one, you need to get these bubbles! I mean look at them!
I thought that maybe it was just the little cow wand that you place in the bubbles ..(notice the ridges) but when I had Josiah try from a different wand, it still worked the same!

So here are the pictures I tried to snap of all our bubble fun that day!




 
 
 He really just learned how to blow properly lol

WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN  BUBBLES? OR JUST LOVE BUBBLES?

LOOK WHAT I FOUND ON PINTEREST!

BOBS ; Helping Kids

I always love giving, so when I saw the commercials for the shoes from sketchers that gives a child in need of a pair of shoes when you buy a pair.. I was very interested!

They are called BOBS, And they come in a variety of colors and a very cute "Toms" looking style. The same concept of Toms but a little on the cheaper side! So this is very efficient for someone like me, who is one a budget but still wanting to help out your society!!






This is so amazing. I just love the thought that I bought a pair of shoes for someone in need and I got myself a cute pair as well. They have already donated more than three million pairs of shoes to children in the U.S. and more than 25 countries around the world and they want to continue to do so with your help!






And these are the shoes I bought. I love them!

BOBS from Skechers

I was not compensated for this post. All my thoughts. Thank you.

DIY Make-up Remover

Hello Readers of Manicures and Sprinkles! I am so happy that Christin asked me to guest post for her! She is the sweetest.

My name is Amanda, I blog at A Beautiful Mess. I blog about just about everything under the sun. Literally! I am super passionate about health and fitness, and also beauty. I am an avid runner and yogi. I've also been known to post a healthy recipe or two :) Come say hi!! 

Today I want to share with all of you one of my newly discovered beauty secret: Olive Oil Make up Remover! This is a DIY, super cheap make up remover. 

All you need are three things:
Olive oil:

Water:
And something to put your make up remover in. I used an empty eye make up remover container I happened to have.

Mix the two together with the ratio of 3/4 water, 1/4 olive oil. The two will separate so you will need to shake the bottle before using, put it on a cotton ball and rub all over your face and voila! Your make up will come right off. 
I have been doing this for a few weeks now, and not only do I love how much the make up so easily comes off my face, but I really love the moisture that the olive oil gives my face. It's super moisturizing and makes my skin feel smooth.
So there you have it! A super easy and cheap (and probably includes ingredients you already have!) 
If you try this or if you already do it, let me know if you like it!
Thanks again for having me!!
xoxo, Amanda

Ispy & Birchbox

So it's that time of the month where I start getting my subscriptions in the mail! 
yay for blogging ;)

Ipsy ;

Last months was upsetting but I couldn't believe that I actually liked everything in this box! Just take a look

THE BAG ; a really cute white bag... & I actually wanted to send this to a friend for our spring swap but I think I lost it at work LOL .. sorry Carrie! maybe next time???

SATION NAIL LACQUER ; I've been wanting to try this brand since I started doing my nails, and I loved it!

Be a bombshell ; this is blush, and I was very excited for it, until I opened it ....
The Mica beauty Products ; was a great shimmer powder that I used to just shimmer myself up during these past few days of lovely weather!

SEXY HAIR ; I've only used this twice since I've had it but I can feel the difference after putting it in my hair. It makes it soft.

Birchbox ;

I already knew my box was going to be good! Here ya have it



I've never had macaroons before! And boy was it delicious!

Beauty Protector Detangle was good.. I usually don't use leave in conditioner because it will always make my hair greasy after it dries, and indeed it did.. but it smelled great and it did the job. 

Caudalie Oil ; It smelt great, I wear it whenever I remember. It's got a soft smell to it..I don't think anyone really noticed I had it on, but I did.

Mirenesse Lipstick / Blush ; I used it as both & I normally don't wear lipstick but this has the perfect touch to a dinner date or anything like that ! I liked it a lot.

Supergoop! eye cream ; I put this on with my contacts in and it burned like hell... dummy. I mean I usually don't use these kind of eye products either but I tried it for a few days but of course the day I'm out in the sun all day I didn't put it on and I got burnt but I will remember for next time! The reason I don't use (or should I say spend my money on these type of products) is because I'm very forgetful when it comes to routine when I'm getting dressed. Hense the sunburn
