Influenster: Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara

I recently received an exclusive complimentary set of Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara from Influenster for testing & reviewing purposes in my Rose VoxBox.

Pros: 
  • It is easy to find in your make-up bag because it is bulky
  • It is comfortable to hold while applying to your lashes
  • It goes on very smoothly
  • It covers extremely well, with only one swipe over the lashes
  • Does not feel clumpy
  • Good for all day wear
Cons: 
  • The brush is oddly shaped
  • The brush is too bulky (made me feel like I was seconds away from poking my eye!)
Overall, this is a great mascara for everyday use.  I highly recommend it if you are looking for a new mascara.  Good news!  It hit the shelves of retail stores this month, so you can buy yours today!

Influenster: Dr. Scholl's® For Her Cozy Cushions

I recently received an exclusive complimentary set of Dr. Scholl's® For Her Cozy Cushions from Influenster for testing purposes...and let me tell you, they are wonderful!  They are so comfy, cozy, and warm.  They would be perfect in your favorite pair of boots or even TOMS!  If you like comfort you will definitely want to buy these!  They are great!

Influenster: Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

I recently received an exclusive complimentary sample of Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation from Influenster for testing purposes and I LOVE IT!

This foundation is thicker than I am used to, but because of that, it covers my blemishes so well.  It is very smooth and not clumpy or sticky.  This product feels great on my skin throughout the entire day and my face does not turn oily or shiny.

I would highly recommend this product to any friends looking for a good and reliable foundation for daily use! :)

Covered Bridge 2013
We love creating new traditions.  Especially creating new traditions with our friends.  We love stuff we can do yearly together.

One of our current favorite traditions is going to the annual Covered Bridge Festival in Parke County, Indiana.  This year marked the 3rd year we have traveled to the festival with our dear friends the Depoisters!  

We LOVE Covered Bridge Festival Day!

I remembered to wear
my pedometer this year!
We did LOTS of walking!
My FAVORITE thing to buy on
Covered Bridge Day!
Our day usually involves waking up early (yuck...that is by far the only bad thing about the day though), getting breakfast together, and filling our day walking, eating, laughing, eating, sampling (everything!), walking, and eating! 









Apple Pie

One of my favorite things to make my husband is APPLE PIE!  He loves it so much.  

When he returned home from a 3 day golf tournament I surprised him with one.  It was so yummy!

Here it is:
