I really like this print and it is deffinatly something that I would of picked out for myself. It comes with everything you need to do your own nails.

It comes with many different sizes and I laid out the right sizes for each finger fore I put them on. The only thing that I do not like about these nails are they are really short and I had to file down my real nails off to be able to try these out. I would buy them if they were longer since they are so easy to use. I like the ease and the patterns they have to offer. They look so good on and I have gotten so many compliments on them in just the first few days of having them on. I have had to use some nail glue in a few spots but they are holding strong. Here is how the finished nails look.




I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program.

Milano Series Messanger Bag Review

This is a great review for all of the purse lovers just like me. I have found a great bag that is perfect for anyone. It is the Taylor Messenger bag by Milano Series and it retails for $36.50.
The Taylor Mini Messenger Bag is the perfect bag for running around town or traveling abroad and the long adjustable strap allows you to comfortably carry it across your chest. It features 3 outside zippered pockets on the front, 1 inside zippered pocket and 1 open pocket on the back making it easy to organize all your essentials! Measuring 12x3x12, the Taylor Mini Messenger Bag is made of our exclusive Matrix material and is available is Charcoal, Chocolate, Orange and Pear.

I love that it looks small but it has so many pockets that it makes it seem like a large bag. This is the perfect bag if you are going shopping or to somewhere busy where you may not want to carry a bag around. It comes in many different colors and mine is in the color Chocolate. I have gotten many compliments on how neat my purse is and they cant believe how many things fit inside. It also wears well and i like having it hang across my chest.
This is a great bag and I just love it. This would be a great gift for someone you know who loves purses of any age. I also think that my mom would love this purse as well. Milano Series carries many other products other than purses they have tote bags, lunch bags, diaper bags, photo storage, frames, jewelry boxes and many more. You need to check out their site.

Nutrisystem: Weekly Weigh in Week #6

This is my weekly weigh in for Nutrisystem. This is a very hard time of the year to lose weight with all of the Holiday's in each month.  I was able to maintain myself thru Thanksgiving with no weight gain. I am hoping to do the same for Christmas. I set myself a mini personal goal to lose 10 lbs by Christmas...Do you think I will make it? Well lets see what the scale said this week.

Which is a loss of 2lbs this week! For a total weight loss of......10.2 lbs...I am so excited!!! I made my goal 3 days before Christmas so there is a possibility of more loss before then. I hope to at least maintain this weight thru to my next weigh in. I am dreaming of the time I step on to the scale and it will say 139. After this month I will be stepping up the loss and trying to get a gym membership.

Midwest Dairy Coucil Tips & Giveaway

Family Togetherness
For Midwestern dairy farm moms, mealtime provides a cherished opportunity to create family memories. They have a couple tips on how to maximize family time during this busy season:
  • We use holiday mealtime to have real conversations as a family. No cell phones are allowed! Sit down at the table (not in front of the tv), share a tasty meal and talk about your day or the things you are most thankful for. — Susan Anglin, Anglin Dairy
  • To squeeze in extra family bonding during busy days, I encourage my kids to get in the kitchen and help out. Don’t worry about making a mess; it’s creating traditions and memories that are most important. — Shannon Squibb, Topwinds Dairy

Entertaining Made Easy
Entertaining is often a major component of the holidays for all families. To help keep your guests happy (and full!), Midwest dairy farm moms share tips and favorite recipes:
  • Cheese trays make a tasty and nutritious appetizer. To add seasonal flair, buy cheese in block form and use holiday cookie cutters to create festive shapes; save the scraps for casseroles. — Barb Liebenstein, Wolf Creek Dairy
  • My holiday guests always seem to be craving something pumpkin flavored. I have a few go-to recipes that are fresh and unexpected: Pumpkin Cheesecake Shake, Pumpkin Pancakes, and my personal favorite, Pumpkin Pie Squares. — Susan Anglin, Anglin Dairy

I was sent a great prize pack that consists of  a festive baking dish from Crate & Barrel, $30 value, hot pad; and Pumpkin Pie Squares recipe card.
