So I told you that I had got all this stuff free to try out through influenster. I wanted to let everyone know that i tried the Celestial seasonings tea they gave me and I can honestly say I wasn't that impressed with it. I usually get loose leaf tea so i don't know if my taste is changed because of that or what but I thought it was kind of bland.

I also gave my sister the Rimmel london eye makeup remover and the eyeliner to try out. I don't wear make up at all. She loved it! She couldn't wait to use it! She was so excited to try it out!  

Frosty Vox Box from Influenster!

I am a member of Influenster. I just got my #frostyvoxbox today in the mail! I was so excited. I was like a little kid at Christmas! I couldn't wait to see what was all in it! I opened the box and was amazed at what was inside!


So much stuff! 

I Love the new Eco Tools Hairbrush! I tried it and it made my hair feel so nice and soft!
I am a HUGE tea drinker. I got a coupon for Celestial seasonings tea and a free sample of their Candy Cane Lane decaf green tea. I can't wait to try it!
The Fruit Vines Bites are going to be a great little snack for me and the kiddos!
McCormick Gourmet Thyme- I cook every day of the week so I am super excited about this one!

There was other stuff in the box that I am not really big on. I NEVER wear make up. I don't even own any! There were a few make up things in the box.
There was Rimmel gentle eye makeup remover, and rimmel scandaleyes waterproof kohl Kajal eyeliner.
There is a small sample of No7 protect and perfect intense advanced sachet along with a coupon to use a target.
And last there is a nyc expert last lip color in sugar plum. I do have to say like I said before I never and i mean never wear makeup. I tried this lipstick on and I liked it. The color goes really well with my skin. Its a soft tone and doesn't stand out which is something I like. 

Today I am sharing my new way to use my Swiffer. I love my swiffer- I just don't like how much the refill pads cost for it! I decided to do my own.
All you need is a fluffy sock. I had a whole bunch of those hospital socks around so I decided to use those to see how it worked. It worked really well! And the plus side is you can rewash them over and over again!

Sock from the hospital

 I turned the sock inside out.

 Slipped it on over the end of the swiffer.

 Used it in my house and look at all the dust it picked up!

 Take the sock off and put it in a container to be washed!

For those of you who don't know me I CD- (cloth diaper). I also make my own homemade baby wipes. Since I ran out this morning I figured that I would share with everyone how I do it!

Stuff you will need to make your own baby wipes.
1- roll of paper towels
1 container to fit the half roll of paper towels
1 tsp. baby oil
1 tsp. liquid castile soap
10-12 drops tea tree essential oil
1 1/2 cups water
knife or hack saw
measuring spoons
measuring cup



First get a roll of paper towels. Cut the roll in half. I have a hack saw that I use to do this.You can also use a really big knife.

 Once you have the paper towel cut in half put 1 half away for later and put the other half in the container you are going to use to store your wipes in. I got mine as a set at walmart. It was a storage set of maybe 4 different size containers.

 Get your 1 1/2 cups of water and add the baby oil, tea tree essential oil and the soap to the measuring cup. Gently stir it all together

Slowly pour the mixture onto the roll of paper towels.

 Once you have it all poured on there wait a few minutes then you will be able to take the cardboard out of the roll.

That's it your done! You made your own baby wipes!

Happy Halloween Everyone! Hope everyone is doing okay! I am fighting a cold and CX is sick as well! KQ just got over being sick. This has been a rough week!
I figured since it was halloween I would share the cosutme that I made for KQ last year- since I already shared the costume I made for her this year.

Last Halloween KQ wanted to be a monster. This project was easy to do! I got a black zip up hoodie and some black sweat pants. I got Styrofoam balls and cones and painted them. The "spots" are made out of very thick felt. She didn't want to do just normal spots but something different. We cut out different shapes. I glued them all on the outfit and voila! The finished product!

Since Halloween is here I figured I would post my pictures of the costume I made for my daughter. She insisted on being Midna from The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. What can I say we are huge video game nerds in this family! It was a challenging costume to do for sure! It took me a long time to make but the smile on her face when she got to put it on all finished was all worth it!  
 

The first thing I did was I got a zoot suit in black. I taped it all off with painters tape.

 This is the back of the outfit.

 This is the helmet. I didn't think to take pictures of the process of making the helmet. It was a lot of work though. I used one of the black mats that connects together for your floor. I cut it out and hot glued it to the shape of Midna's helmet. I then looked at the designs online and began carving them into the helmet. This took a LOT of time to do!

 The back of the helmet and Midna's hair. The hair is actually an orange shirt I got at good will for like $2. I glued it to the helmet and shred the shirt to make it look like her hair.

The finished project : KQ was so excited to have it on she had to run and look at herself in the mirror!

 KQ ready for halloween! She was so excited! The designs on the outfit turned out okay. I was not happy with the spray paint I bought. It was suppose to be white and it is more of a gray color.

Overall I am really pleased with it! It took a long time to make but she LOVES it! Plus the out fit is a little big so she could potentially wear it in a couple of years! 

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!
