Just a couple of Walmart Goodies!

I love Walmart...and I hate it at the same time. I don't like going there with my husband at all. He absolutely can't stand going in and rushes me. I like to take my time and peruse the isles while I pick up the items in my list. It always seems that I can't just stick to what I came there to buy!

While I was there, I saw these wax cubes that look to be really similar to the Scentsy ones. They were only $2 and smell so good! I picked up Oatmeal Cookie and Vanilla Bean. I can't wait to try them out and see how they compare to Scentsy. It would be great to save some money and still have a yummy smelling house! I also picked up a Cinnamon Roll candle from the Better Homes and Garden line and it is amazing.

They are perfect for this rainy and cold SoCal afternoon!

February MyGlam Bag

I finally opened the February MyGlam package I received!  There has been so much going on that I stuck it in my craft closet and forgot about it until a couple of days ago when I cam across it while looking for ribbon. 

This is what it looked like once I took it out of the package.  I really like that it comes in a pretty pink bubble wrap mailer!  The bag that all my goodies were in was super cute too!  I love the red with black hearts!

Here is what was in the February MyGlam package:

X-Out Shine Control - This is an oil-free moisturizer that has mattifying properties.  I am excited to try this since I have super oily skin!

NYX Roll On Shimmer - The one I received is in RES10 Blue.  I was super excited to see this in my bag so I swatched it right away.  I'm not impressed!  I was very streaky and it rubbed off with a gentle rub of my finger.

Premier Dead Sea Cinderella Mask - I haven't tried it out yet, but it contains life-enhancing minerals from Dead Sea waters.  I'll let you know how it enhances my life.

NuMe Professional Styling Tools and Hair Extensions $100 Gift Card - So looking forward to using this!  I need a new blowdryer - STAT!

Freeman Facial Mask Sachet in Goji Berry - This is a hydrating mask that I am actually looking forward to trying out!  Although my skin is oily, it has felt a little tight because of the cold weather and the heater being on. 

There was also a cute little Ghirardelli Chocolate sample that I promptly ate.  I was yummy!

Overall, I am not in love with this months MyGlam Bag.  Last month's seemed to be a lot better.  Hopefully, the one I receive in March will be awesome.  I am still waiting for BirchBox to allow me to join.  I am curious as to how they compare to each other.

Have a great Sunday!

Here are some great ideas when you've run out of your own. In my case, I may have to be committed soon. Just kidding.....maybe!

Mother vs. Step-Mom

Hello everyone! I was recently advised by my step-daughter's school that I was no longer to come and volunteer on Mondays and to stay away from special events. Apparently, my husbands ex-wife called a meeting without advising my husband about it and made these requests. What the heck? How am I supposed to try and get along with someone who continually tries to do sneaky and underhanded things. She could have spoken to me or to my husband about it instead of getting the school involved. Ugh!

Is anyone else out there experiencing anything like this? I'd love to hear about it of you are.

I seriously can't sleep and I haven't been able to for a while now.  My asthma is driving me crazy!  It seems that if I am not using my puffer, I am using the nebulizer.  I haven't been able to find any relief in the treatments that have worked for me in the past and I just don't know what to do.  There is so much to do around the house and not to mention things that we had planned for the weekend.  I am exhausted from lack of sleep and oxygen.  Does anyone out there have any ideas as to what can help>
