KBShimmer March Polish Pick Up Exclusive: If You Want My Bodice

Morning lovelies!  This week has been so hectic I'm trying to stay afloat but feel as if I'm getting more and more behind.  The good news is after today the practices die down to just 1 kid out of 3 having to be places so that makes life a bit easier.  It's been cold and raining here again with a forecast of rain this weekend, boo!  I think that storm in Arizona followed us here.  One thing that is good about the weekend is that the Polish Pickup will be OPEN!  Is your wish list ready?  If not let me throw one more in the ring for you...KBShimmer If You Want My Bodice.  Inspired by those lusty and heavy breathing romance novels, don't lie, you know you read them.  I know I do!  Anywho, you can pick up If You Want My Bodice from 3/2 - 3/2 for $10.  Let's check it out!

Alter Ego Respite Bath Crumbs

Afternoon/evening friends!  Sad Panda that it's Monday but I got most of my things done today and then some.  My house is still in disarray from the RV unloading and finding places for all the goodies we brought home.  Other than that I threw myself back into reviews and swatches so get ready for lots more to come!  Today I have a nice bath product from Alter Ego.  I'm not sure if you know, but Cynthia makes plenty of products aside from polish.  Fragrances, lip balm, bath bombs, soap and even soap for dogs!  I've always been a fan of the lightly scented products and was excited to try this one.  You can pick up Respite Bath Crumbs during the March Polish Pickup from 3/2 - 3/5 for $7.50 or anytime in the Alter Ego shop!  Don't forget Alter Ego has a beautiful polish for the PPU this month as well, check out the post HERE.  Let's jump in and check it out!

ellagee March Polish Pick Up Exclusive: Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum & "Book" Zippered Bag

Evening dears!  Yay for Friday but boo that my road trip is almost over.  It snowed in Sedona almost the whole day and we felt we'd seen all we could see so we packed it up and headed out to Vegas.  More for the fear of getting snowed in in Arizona but now we're just chasing the snow and I'll be honest, it's a little unnerving to be in an RV while it's snowing out.  We've passed 4 spin outs/crashes in the past 20 minutes.  So fingers crossed we make it out of this snow soon (this is my mom nervous voice and my California girl I don't like snow voice talking).  Anywho, trying to preoccupy myself and thought I'd share another polish that'll be available next weekend during the March Book themed Polish Pickup!  ellagee chose The Handmaid's Tale and created a gorgeous polish to reflect it.  I read this book years and years ago so I only remember the jist of it, but no little details. You'll be able to pick up Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum from 3/2 - 3/5 for $12.  There will be no cap.  ellagee will also have a bool/library patterned zippered bag available also, it is also $12 with no cap.  Let's jump in and check out the goods.

Stella Chroma March Polish Pickup Exclusive: Let Me Show You

Morning morning!  I'm drinking a cup o' Bio Coffee and looking out the window of the RV at the mountains.  We're "camping" out near Palm Springs and I swear it's such a throw back kind of a place.  I feel like I'm in 1960!  Today we are going up the Aeral Tram to do some hiking and check out the views.  But before I get the crew up and ready to go I am going for a super short run around the RV site and sharing this post!  I can't believe February is going to a close, but that means it's time for the March PPU swatches to start rolling in!  The theme is Books and so far the previews I've seen are AH-MAY-ZING!  Stella Chroma, who is known for her love of all things Harry Potter and having several polishes inspired by the books and movies, chose Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.  This polish is a total stunner, I have it shown with both glossy and topcoat in my post.  You'll be able to pick up Let Me Show You from 3/2 - 3/5 for $12.  There is no cap.  Stella Chroma will also be offering a butter beer scented emulsified sugar scrub...you know how amazing these scrubs are and if you've ever been to Universal Studios you know how delicious the Butterbeer drinks are so don't skip out on this product!  2.5oz for $5.50.  OK!  Let's jump in!!

Bee's Knees: Miscellaneous Polishes

Hey hey hey! It's Sunday, normally I'd be kind of bummed out because back to the Taxi Mom grind tomorrow but not this Sunday!  Kids have a week off and we rented an RV to go road tripping!  So far we've been on the road for 6 hours and have made 3 stops and are no where near the destination, HAHAHAHA!  <-- that was me with a crazy mom laugh.  So the RV has this cool laptop tray thingy at the front passenger seat so I figured, why not jump online and bust out a blog post! 

Not so long ago I was swooning hard over some Bee's Knees polishes.  This was a new-to-me brand and also a new on the scene brand thats been pretty much exploding with popularity.  Well, mama had to try and boy is mama glad she did.  Bee's Knees prototypes are $8 and the rest range from $10 to $12.  1 of the 3  polishes in this post are currently available in the store...so let's get to it!

Fit Snack Box; December 2017

Hey guys!  Just got back from a family dinner outing so excuse the late night post.  But even more, excuse the total lateness of this one!  Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with my kids and life that the old blog takes a total back seat and while I have been tossing up posts here and there I've been pretty bad about being on top of it since last Thanksgiving.  The good thing is that you can easily order any of these items directly or you can just sign up for the Feb or March Fit Snack Box and see what kind of delicious surprises await you!  You can save $3 using my link HERE.  I had my kids help me rate these snacks; Noah is 11, Julian is 9 and Naomi is 6.  So let's jump in and see what the December Fit Snack Box had for the subscribers!

Stella Chroma February Polish Pickup Exclusive: Chocolate Orange Emulsified Sugar Scrub

Evening all!  Did you watch the Super Bowl?  I didn't care which way it went and found it quite a snooze fest (yes, even the half time show) but I will admit that last minute was pretty exciting.  Anywho, I do know that Brady got a slice of humble pie.  But I'd rather have a slice of a chocolate orange!  But since that wasn't one of the snacks on my table I'll settle for this emulsified sugar scrub that was inspired by the candy.  Stella Chroma does a great job with her scrub scents, they are never overpowering and are always pleasant scents.  This one was a really yummy scent actually, I wanted to lick it.  You can only purchase a 2.5oz jar of the Chocolate Orange sugar scrub through the Polish Pickup and it's available for one more day (2/5).  Let's jump in to the post!
