Recent Amazon Purchases + Favorites

Soooo...I am addicted to Amazon Prime! Free two-day shipping is life! For today's post, I thought it would be fun to show you some of my recent amazon purchases and favorites! I will also mention I have been using Amazon rentals for my textbooks and it is such a great service! Let me know if you want a separate post about it, otherwise here are some of my most recent Amazon purchases!  *This post is not sponsored by Amazon.

1) Hand Blender - I got this because I am going to be drinking a meal replacement shake everyday, so I figured this would be way easier to use everyday than our traditional blender.

2) Cat Tunnel  - We have a smaller cat tunnel that ours cats have basically destroyed so we bought a new one. This one has two cubes with a connecting tunnel and they love it!

3) Slice Precision Cutter - This little crafting tool is amazing! I got this for cutting planner stickers and washi tape! It is a MUST HAVE if you are into decorative planning!

4) Stackable clear organizer - Although this is meant to be used for storing your sunglasses, I got this to store all my washi tape and it's fantastic! It is the perfect size for holding all of your washi tape while nicely displaying them for you to see on your desk! It keeps your washi nice and organized so you know what you have!

5) Foot and Pedicure Spa - We ordered this because my husband hd a nasty toe infection over the summer, so he could soak his toe with epsom salt. It has low vibration and it nice for soaking your feet and getting them ready for an at-home pedicure. The drawback, is that it doesn't really keep the water very warm.

That’s it for today! Let me know if you want me to do one at the end of every few months!  xx

Review: QSpeed Fast Melt CoQ10 tablets

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I recently got the opportunity to try out this QSpeed Fast Melt CoQ10 dietary supplement of CoQ10. If you don't know, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a nutrient found in all the cells in your body and is essential in the production of energy and overall heart health. This nutrient also ensures that your body's immune, cardiovascular, aging, and neurological systems are performing at an optimal level.  You are supposed to take 1-2 tablets a day. If taking in conjunction with exercise, you are supposed to take approximately 40 minutes before your workout routine. This tablet is free from gluten, yeast, soy, milk, dairy, corn, sodium, preservatives, artificial coloring, sugar, starch, and artificial coloring. It also dissolves on your tongue!

My thoughts: Ok, this tablet has a very grainy texture when dissolving and it took a long time to dissolve on my tongue. It tasted a little bit like orange but I did not like the flavor or texture. 

I would not recommend this product if you are not a fan of dissolvable tablets.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Review: Clarity Vitamin C Serum

Received sample from Brandbacker

I recently joined an awesome site called Brandbacker, which helps pair bloggers up with different brands and they work with you to do different blog posts about their products, services, etc. I got the opportunity to try out the Clarity Vitamin C Serum by Eu Natural. It is a serum that is supposed to smooth skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and treat dark spots. It features a bland of natural ingredients, as well as Vitamin C and E. It is also made in the USA! When I first applied to my skin in the morning, my skin felt a little tight, almost dry, but once my skin absorbed the serum, it made my skin feel smoother,  and it appeared brighter. It applies very easily and is non-greasy, perfect for those of you who have normal to combination skin types. The product works very well under moisturizer and has helped keep my oily skin at bay. It has not caused any breakouts, which is also good news for those of you with sensitive, acne prone skin. I look forward to the long term impacts this Vitamin C Serum will have on my skin.

If you are interested in trying this product, 

Eu Natural has kindly offered a 15% off discount code for my readers!

May Task: Beauty Collections!

The May BBHQ Task is focused on your collections, how you store/organize them, different furniture you use, cataloging methods and more, so let's get into it!

• Where do you keep your collection? I keep my makeup and nail polish collections on top of my desk, that way they are both easily accessible. I keep my jewelry on a wall display and on top of another organizational unit.

Check out these videos to see my current collections & storage:

• What furniture or organizers do you use? (brand names and website links help)
• For my Makeup Collection, I use the MUJI 5-Drawer Acrylic Case
• For my Jewelry, I use a necklace holder and bracelet holder (links are similar)
• For nail polish, I use an Acrylic nail polish table
• Do you have a cataloging system? If so, can you share your secret? I don't have a large collection, so I don't have a system
• How do you keep it organized? I organize my makeup by category. For example  all my lip products are in a drawer. 
• Do you have any special displays for your favorite items? I like to display anything than was really cool packaging or just my favorite products to use
• When you get new items, where do they go? They usually go right into my collection but I tend to keep them on top of my storage unit until I have tested to see if I actually want to keep the product
• For Fun, share your top 5 FAVORITE items in your beautiful collection :)
• Maybelliene Baby Lips
• Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara
• Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten
• theBalm Meet Matt(e) Nude palette
• Rimmel Powder

Online Shopping: My favorite places to shop!

I recently posted a video on my YouTube channel called Online Shopping Tips and Tricks and I thought a cool post to tie into this video, would be a post about my favorite places to do online shopping! I tend to do a decent amount of online shopping since you can always find amazing deals online, sometimes even better than in stores. Here are my top places to shop online:

 



I love Stylemint! I have a few Ts from the website and they are the best quality. They are super soft! Stylemint is a monthly-subscription service for $29.99 per month. You can choose to skip a month at any time.



 

Jewelmint is another one of those sites where it is a monthly subscription servie for only $29.99 per month except Jewelmint is for jewelry! There jewelry is very nice quality and I haven't had any issues with a piece breaking.



LuLu*s is an online boutique which specializes in trendy clothing and accessories for young adults.



Modcloth specializes in vintage clothing, accessories and house ware! They can be a wee bit expensive!

These are my four favorites places to do online shopping but I also love ordering from Forever21, American Eagle, DSW and many other big-box stores online as well because you can get great online discounts!

What are your favorite store to do online shopping?
