Fit Snack Box; September 2017

Afternoon!  You guys know me, it's been a go-go-go kind of a day. Up bright and early to get the laundry finished so Naomi's uniform was ready.  Then off to coach the soccer team.  Then grocery shopping for tailgating tonight.  Then gymnastics evaluations for Naomi.  Now I'm finally home an sitting for about an hour before I head out again.  Can I retire yet?  Well, this morning I was also able to squeeze in the September Fit Snack Box taste testing.  Naomi and Noah joined me and I have their opinions on some of the snacks to share with you as well.  As always, you can use my link HERE to save $3 on any sub-box purchase.  Ok, let's jump in and eat with our eyes. *press sample*

Fit Snack Box: May 2017

Good afternoon y'all.  I've been a busy bee today with the posting and there's a lot more where that came from!  This isn't a nail polish post though...it's a Fit Snack box post!  I always have a huge smile on my face when my Fit Snack Box arrives.  I know that there will be some products I've tried and love and some products that are new to me!  I really have so much fun tasting them all, it helps me make informed decisions when I buy full sized products later!  Anywho, for now I've got the May box on my blog and it's full of great, satisfying items.  You can subscribe to this box in different increments, 3 month, 6 month and so on.  You can save $3 using my link HERE!  Alright, let's talk about the snack!

Fit Snack Box: April 2017

Morning friends!  Today I have another Fit Snack Box to share with you.  Have you tried this subscription box out yet?  I have really been enjoying all the healthy snacks and treats that are delivered to my mail box.  These boxes are great for athletes, busy moms (or dads) and even provide healthy options for kids!  This box has been my favorite so far because I am in love with one product in particular.  I wonder if you can guess which one it is.  You can sign up for a 3, 6, or more, monthly subscription.  Each box promises $32 value inside!  You can save $3 off any subscription package using my link HERE.  Let's jump in and see the tasty snacks I received!

A Box Indied March 2016; Spring Theory

Good day to you lovelies!  I am enjoying the warmer weather that we've had in NorCal recently.  While it's still chilly, you can feel the sun warming up your skin and it's nice enough for me to wear sandals and flip flops (thank goodness because unless they are running shoes I loathe wearing anything close-toed).  And you know what?  It's that time of the month again that I am honored to share the upcoming A Box Indied collection!  March brings us the Spring Theory collection, 5 spring-y polishes from fabulous indie brands.  This box will be available for pre-order from 3/1-3/4 and costs $50 plus free US shipping.  The $25 gift cards are also still going on - each maker will provide a gift card to their shop in some lucky orders so there are 5 $25 gift cards floating around out there - maybe one will be in your order!  Ok are you ready?  Let's jump in and check out what Black Cat Lacquer, Contrary Polish, Crows Toes, Fair Maiden Polish and Girly Bits Cosmetics have come up with for this fun sub-box.

Glitter Guilty March Pleasures Box

I have something different for you in this post!  A review of a monthly subscription box.  I have only tried 1 monthly subscription with nail polish and it was lackluster.  I think Glitter Guilty put together a very fun subscription where you will receive products you enjoy and want to use....and who can say no to chocolate?  You will want to start at Glitterguilty.com and subscribe to the Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box.  You will be prompted to create a profile where you can specifically list your polish likes and dislikes as well as your favorite type of chocolate.  A monthly subscription is $15.99 - not bad for a full size, mini and a chocolate (summer months will be a different delectable treat so there will be no fear of melting candy in your box).  I sent Jessica my profile and promptly received my Pleasures Box!  I was so excited to open it and find a full sized bottle of Double Agent and a mini of Rocky Road to Dublin.  And I received a Kara Mint Truffle - it did not last long after I opened the box and oh it was yummy!

You can purchase the subscription box (or individual polishes) on glitterguilty.com.  All Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box purchases made directly to the website have a portion of the proceeds donated to Grameen Foundation.  You can also shop on etsy.  Be sure to follow Glitter Guilty on their blog and facebook for product updates.  I'll be hosting a giveaway next month with some Glitter Guilty products so keep an eye out for that too!  

Here is the box just after I opened it

Kara Mint Truffle - it was delicious, the perfect combination of mint and milk chocolate

On to the polish!  First I tried out Rocky Road to Dublin.  RRTD is a jam packed full of green, brown and gold glitter.  Mostly hexs, but there is also microglitter and bars.  I tried RRTD over a variety of greens.  From left to right: 2 coats alone, 1 coat over Spoiled I'm So Jaded, 1 coat over Essie Pretty Edgy, 1 coat over Zoya Suvi.  The glitter looks lovely over all the different greens!  Lots o' glitter came out with each brush dip and they all lay flat on the nail.  I used 1 layer of topcoat.  For the full main pictures I used 2 coats of Spoiled I'm So Jaded and 2 coats of Rocky Road to Dublin with 1 layer of topcoat.  How cute is this polish for St. Patrick's Day?!

Next is the full sized polish I received...Double Agent.  Double Agent is a gorgeous color shifting polish.  Jessica describes it as a "bronzy/taupe micro flakes with deep violet flakes. Shifting from a violet/gray to a bronzy pink."  It's really stunning and indeed unique.  And the nice thing about this polish is that you can layer it over different colors for different effects.  I started my mani with 1 coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black.  On my accent finger I used 1 coat of Gosh Purple Heart.  I then used 1 layer of Double Agent.  Double agent shows more of the pink and purple colors over Black on Black but you see more purple and grey over Purple Heart.  In the shade pictures you can really see the individual flakes and the gold sparkle.  Double Agent had a wonderful formula, nice consistency and spread well on the nail.  I finished this off with 1 layer of topcoat.
