Squirrels! Part 2

Click here to see my first series of squirrel photos.

You may remember my first series of squirrel pictures, where we had a full sized squirrel, but now we have baby squirrels! Or at least kid-sized ones! They were pretty cute and I couldn't help but take a few pictures of them as they were pretty entertaining to watch! 

The mom squirrel would usually sit on top of the fence and watch the little ones from up above since they dart around so much! I imagine that was a lot easier for her!

Anyways, I got a few cute pictures and thought I would share!

June Ipsy Glam Bag Review


I liked the back of the bag more than the front!
Delectable by Cake Beauty Coconut & Cream Triple Moisture Body Lotion: I'm not really a fan of coconut, so I like that this does not have a really strong coconut scent. The lotion is pretty moisturizing and not too greasy. Overall an okay product.

(Just FYI, I really am not that picky about scents, but for some reason Ipsy just seems to send me the few scents that I don't like!)
Beauty For Real I-LINE 24-7 Eyeliner in Chocolate Fix: I didn't care for this eyeliner. I typically use black liner, and I just felt the brown looked odd. The liner is very smooth and is easy to apply, but it also comes off very easily and I can't see it lasting throughout the day.
theBalm Cosmetics Balm Springs Blush: I quite liked this blush! It's not too dark, not too light, and has just the perfect amount of color! I have pretty fair skin, and have had trouble finding blush that looks right on me, and this is by far my favorite. 

I probably wouldn't recommend this if you have more of a medium skin tone as I don't think this would really show up.
DOUCCE Maxlash Volumizer Mascara: This mascara is okay. I thought the brush was too big and bushy. It made it hard to get close to the lash root. The formula itself was fine, it wasn't flakey or anything. But overall it didn't really do anything for me.
Luna By Luna Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Jace: I'm not really a fan of pink shades for eyeshadow. And I didn't care for how this looked on me. Also, the container came broken so that was a little disappointing.

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

Five for Friday

Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I am linking up with Cup of Tea Bright on a BudgetDella Devoted, and BYBMG!

1. I worked on some blogging stuff this week and one of the things I had been wanting to add for a while was a Shop feature (It's over on the side bar!) It's just a place for me to share some of my favorite beauty and clothing items!

2. I don't know if you've ever had grilled pizza before, but it's one of our favorite dinners! It's pretty easy to make (although a little bit time consuming!) and a great way to get that pizza oven taste at home! I'll be sharing a recipe soon!
3. While we're on the subject of dinner, what do you like to make when it's hot out? I find that none of my normal dinners sound good,  but I never know what else to make. We grill chicken or burgers sometimes, and I also make salads, but I don't want to have the same thing all the time either. Do you have any suggestions? 

4. I have been searching for some good sandals for YEARS. I have always disliked sandals because they are all so uncomfortable, and anything that is supposed to be comfortable is super expensive; but I picked these up earlier this summer and I'm really liking them! As someone who goes for comfort over style (Seriously. Why wear 'cute' shoes if they hurt your feet?) I like that these are cute and comfortable!
5. We are big Lego fans in my family, so when we heard the Lego America Roadshow was going to be at our mall, we decided to check it out!

There were displays sew up throughout the mall, as well as an area for kids to build things. They also had display cases set up for the kids to display their pieces! Even some of the stores joined in on the Lego fun! One jewelry store for example had all of their jewelry displayed on Legos! I should have taken a picture of it, but it was pretty neat! 


I definitely recommend going if the Roadshow is in your area!

Hope you have a great weekend!
