It is that time again!!! Time to spill all your confessions with Kathy and I!
–I am super irritated with either WordPress or my hosting company for my email because all of your amazing comments to my posts Monday and Tuesday have not found their way to my email for me to respond yet. Please don’t think I am ignoring you!!! If you asked me a specific question, I will reach out to you but until then I apologize in advance and hope it is fixed today! #technologyfail
–I have been eating adult lunchables this week. I needed a break from my four or five normal, boring lunches ok?! #noshameinmylunchgame
–When I went to get the pictures of my lunch, I noticed that all the pictures on my phone are either food or outfit pictures in a fitting room. #Ineedanewphotosubject
–Have you ever been going about your day and then your subconscious tells you that you forgot your deodorant randomly? Oh yeah, me neither. #thankgoodnessitwasnthot #gottakeepabackupinthecar
–Why do people only ask me what I am reading when it is something weird that takes explaining? #booknerdproblems
–I am in denial that it is already December. Like seriously, how??? I haven’t even listened to that much Christmas music yet because I am in disbelief. It is strange for me. #iloveChristmas
–I have been having way too fun with our #inthedrawer Instagram challenge already! It started yesterday, feel free to join in any or all of the days you want!!! #playwithus
Confessions in ecard
Except right now it is the the 20’s not 40’s. thank the Jesus!
Secrets secrets are no fun unless they are for everyone! Confess with Kathy and I!
I loved the November 2015 Allure Beauty Box! Let’s take a look at what I got. The name of each product is a link that will take you to see more information.
What’s the Deal:For $15 a month, Allure sends you 5 deluxe size beauty samples and a mini magazine about the samples. I pay for this on my own, and all opinions are my own. This is not a sponsored post.You can see last month’s box here.
What it is: A gentle eye makeup remover that wipes away makeup and depuffs.
My thoughts: This make up remover has a pleasant, botanical scent. I have used it several different times with different shadows, liners and mascaras and it has taken it all of with great efficiency. I would say that this is a great option!
My thoughts: When I first used this in the shower I thought..Wow!! This smells a lot like a bathroom cleaner I used to use! I don’t think I like this at all. But then, it sort of woke me up and yet made me feel calm all at the same time. About an hour after I got out of the shower and was doing my makeup, I could smell the scent lingering on me. It was just a soft, pleasant scent. I actually really liked this stuff. It doesn’t foam a lot, so if you like a lot of foam with your shower gel….I would try something else. I can do without foam as long as I feel clean….which this one left me feeling clean.
What it is: A perfume that has scents of bergamot, strawberry, jasmine, patchouli, toffee, orange blossom, sandalwood and vanilla.
My thoughts: You guys….this scent is amazing!!! It is sweet, yet intoxicating and sexy. It lingered on me all day which is a must in my book. I hate perfumes that disappear after an hour or two. This one smells wonderful and isn’t too strong so you can wear it to work if you wanted.
My thoughts: First of all, can we talk about how gorgeous this packaging is??? With the gold top and snakeskin print!! I die!!! This had a fruit scent/taste that I loved. The color is a lot more sheer than I thought it was going to be since it was called a liquid lipstick. It doesn’t have a liquid feel to it at all. I think that this is a great gloss! It lasts about an hour or two for me, so typical gloss. It had a nice shine and just a hint of shimmer, nothing too crazy.
What it is: A featherweight oil that hydrates skin without leaving you greasy.
My thoughts: The first thing I noticed about this was the scent. It has a floral like scent that smelled so amazing. This goes on so nicely and sinks in immediately. It left my face soft and glow-y. It says that if you apply this oil before your anti-aging creams it acts to allow the ingredients to sink deeper in your skin getting the full effect of those active ingredients. I loved how my makeup applied on days that I used this.
I will say that for $106, that is quite pricey for just a face oil!! I don’t really see any ingredients that are for anti-aging or what not. The main ingredients are sunflower-seed, borage-seed, apricot kernel, evening primrose, seabuckthorn oils, and rose hip oil. I love love loved this stuff, but ummmmm $106 is a lot! If I saw it come down in price it would be a no brainer for me.
What it is: A volumizing serum that does not weigh down hair.
My thoughts: This stuff smells like lavender with a little lemon mixed in. It is a decent scent. It was a very milky like substance that was a little sticky on my hands but went through my hair smoothly. You want to rub this all over your damp hair, don’t focus on just the roots. You all know my hair is super thin….so I am the true test! After running this through my hair and blow drying, my hair did have a bounce to it. It didn’t look greasy or weighed down at all. Is this the most amazing product ever? No. Did I like it? Yes. I would consider it again.
Don’t forget that the #inthedrawer Instagram challenge starts today with Jana and I!!!! We can’t wait to see all of your pictures!
There are no rules with this. You don’t have to have a barbie doll to participate. You could use a stuffed animal or other figurine to play! And if you have none, then you know what would be a fantastic good human thing to do? Head over to Target or the Dollar Tree and grab a doll to use for the challenge, then hand it off to a child in need in your area. Have a little fun and do a good deed? The Grinch’s heart might just grow three sizes my friends!
Use #inthedrawer and have some fun!!! I will be checking Instagram daily to see your creations. There will be a link up on Fridays each week to share all the pictures in one spot if you want to make them part of your Friday posts.
Four day weekends are good for the soul, shouldn’t they happen more often?! Wednesday I tried out Yo Mama’s with my coworkers. Nothing better than hand cut, homemade fries!
Wednesday afternoon I helped my MIL prep some of the food for Thursday. Chris and I stopped by to check out Crazy Horse on our way home. We were very impressed and we will most certainly be back soon! My new favorite spot for sure!!! They had a great selection of craft beer, most of the draughts being local. We only grabbed some apps off the bar menu, but they have a top notch menu for their restaurant and I can’t wait to try their filet!

Magic indeed…

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebrating with our family. We were at Chris’s parents house for lunch where there were 20 family members and then at my mom’s house where it was just Chris and I and my mom and step dad….with my three step sisters coming a little later. It was fabulous!
Once the last dish was cleaned and put away, my mom and I headed out for our annual Black Friday shopping marathon!!! We hit a new record for us and shopped for over 21 hours straight!!! My mom finished up all of her Christmas shopping and got a few things for herself. I started my Christmas shopping and scored a few great things for myself as well. The highlight being Dolce Vita booties from Nordstrom Rack for under $40 similar to these!!!!! I am obsessed!
Me sending fitting room shots to Laura for approval…
Sadly, that shirt ended up having a black spot on the sleeve and I didn’t get it.
I am in love with the Democracy skinny jeans that I scored for $39. They are on sale today still. They were so comfortable!!! And the waste band design really helps them stay up and in place.
Saturday I watched my Tide roll over Auburn. It was a great game and both teams played well. Roll Tide!!! Now we will be taking on the Florida Gators for the SEC Championship!
Linking up with Biana. I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving!!! What are you scooping up this Cyber Monday?
I am thinking about check out this vest or something like it.
I always check out boots at Belk. Clothing and shoes will be 40% off at Target. Dare I check out the plaid sweater everyone has been lusting over? Every time I look at my store, the green one is out and I don’t like the white one in person. Nine West usually has some killer deals at the outlet. Speaking of the outlet, the Loft store will have a huge sale!!!! As will just about every other place. Where do you like to hit on Black Friday?
Favorite Pins: These DIY Christmas projects would be so fun!
Favorite Announcement: Drum roll please!!!! Jana and I are back to host our Whore in the Drawer Instagram challenge!!!!!

–Sometimes when I know I am wearing boots, I grab my cropped or capri length jeans. I mean, you don’t know the difference and well…I hate tucking all that extra jean material into my boots! #noonecantellthedifference #lazy
–I hate stuffing. There. I said it. Is it the worst thing I have ever tried? No. But ummmmm there is way too much else deliciousness to waste calories on something that is just meh for me. This goes with dressing to, you southern people like weird shit. #moreforyou
–I also hate liver. It smells gross and it sounds gross. I haven’t tried it since I was a kid but ummm just no. #gross
–My family usually got the canned cranberry sauce that is more of a jello consistency. (Which is still my favorite, by the way….) But every year I had to have the top piece with the can indentation. I would legit get pissed if someone took it. #Istilldothis #minebitch
–Trying to sleep on the eve of Thanksgiving is hard for me. I am so excited to spend lots of time with family on Thanksgiving day…..and super duper excited for my mom and I’s annual Black Friday excursion that starts promptly at 9-10PM Thanksgiving night well in to the late afternoon on Friday. #shoppingismycardio
This is an actual text with my mom about our trip. #wedontplay
–I actually find the crazy Black Friday shoppers who get rowdy and pushy quite entertaining. People get so pissy and I just laugh. I think it pisses them off more. #itsjustshopping #chillthefuckoutandsmile
