And They're Off! Back To School

Today is my kids first day back at school. Lexi just started 1st grade at a new school, she was extra excited to make new friends. Junior is still in Pre-K and was excited to get back to his old school routine. I miss them already and they have only been gone for a couple of hours. I always feel a little sad once school starts back up. I miss the summer and all the adventures we had, but I am excited for all the new adventures we will have this fall and winter. I look forward to the kids coming home with so many new stories about they're day.

Elmer's Glue Face Mask

I love trying DIY beauty treatments and experimenting with all different types of ingredients. I heard about an Elmer's glue face mask and I thought to myself "hey we have plenty of glue around here, I've gotta try it". Of course if you do try this don't use anything else than nontoxic Elmer's glue. It's not harmful and of course don't put it near your eyes.
Well I applied the glue in a thick coat to my t-zone. You can apply to your whole face or just any area you want. This mask really cleans your pores and makes them appear smaller. I let the glue dry. It turns clear when it's completely dry. It takes about 15 minutes to completely dry. Then I peeled it off. If you apply a thick coat of glue, it will come off easier and in one piece. If you apply a thinner coat it will be a bit harder to peel off.

Overall this face mask is cheap and easy. It left my skin smooth and it removed the blackheads on my nose.

My daughter walked in as I was trying the glue mask. "mom what are you doing?" lol. I explained and of course she knows not to do it. I showed her a trick my friends and I used to do in elementary school. Write or draw something on any part of your skin, usually we did it on our hands. Then apply a thick coat of glue and let it dry. Peel off slowly and the design would come with it. She thought it was sooo cool, just like I did when I was her age.

Let me know if you tried the Elmer's glue face mask and if you liked it.

Summer

Wow I can't believe summer is almost over. We have had a lot of fun though. Playground and crafting and lots of fun places. We went to Sesame Place in PA twice this summer. My kids love it. This weekend we are going to the beach to celebrate the end of summer. I wish summer would never end but nothing lasts forever. I'll leave you with some pictures of our summer adventures.

Busy Busy Busy...

I have been so busy this past week that I haven't even been able to post. I'm still here and I have a couple of giveaways coming up this week, so stay tuned.
Just posting really quickly to share a picture of one of the biggest blessings I have ever received. My beautiful princess Lexi. Her spring celebration school show was on Monday and she looked so beautiful, I just had to share. She said all her lines perfectly and afterwards we went out to celebrate with a family dinner.

Mirror Mirror Giveaway

I am so excited, Mirror Mirror comes out in theatres March 30. I can't wait to see it. I love movies like this.  

One of the most beloved stories of all time is coming to life in the motion picture event for the whole family, Mirror Mirror.  A fresh and funny retelling of the Snow White legend, Mirror Mirror features breakout star Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, a princess in exile, and Oscar®-winner Julia Roberts as the evil Queen who ruthlessly rules her captured kingdom.

Shoesday Tuesday!

Ah I love shoes, but sadly I don't have to many of them. I made a plan of getting one new pair of shoes every month this year, but that only worked for January. So far no new shoes ughhh. I really need new shoes. Being that today is Tuesday I just renamed it to Shoesday and might just go out and buy myself two new pairs of shoes (maybe more lol). Seriously I get comfortable with a pair of shoes and just wear them out. I've been wearing my favorite pair of boots (I got them for Christmas) almost everyday and the bottom is worn out. They almost have a hole in them lol. I wore my favorite pair of flats and made the front of them break. I have to stop and get enough shoes so I can rotate them. I also found a great way to organize my shoes. I think thats one of the problems, I am not very organized and so I just grab the first pair I find which is usually the same pair of shoes, which is probably why they end up worn out. I am gonna get a big bookshelf and organize my shoes in it. That way they will be set up like a display and I will be able to choose which ones I want to wear. I saw that in my favorite fashion bloggers closet, DulceCandy.com. That's her closet in the picture at the top. I just love her closet. I dont have as much space as that but when i'm done organizing I will show you how mine turns out. Happy Shoesday everyone. Enjoy it.

Beautiful Day...

Such a beautiful day yesterday perfect for going to the park. We didn't do much though, we had a birthday dinner for my husband planned a his mom's house. It was great, but still would've loved to go to the park. After picking up the kids from school, we went to pick up my husband from work. While waiting for him we decided to enjoy a bit of sunshine and take pictures.
