Rosie Pope Diaper Bag

I'm so excited about my new diaper bag I had to share all about it!
If you read a few posts back, I was looking at diaper bags and came across the Rosie Pope blush pink diaper bag backpack. I fell in love with it! I began saving for it because it was a little bit of a pretty penny, but I was blessed big time when David's grandma insisted on buying something I wanted for baby Benjamin. I told her about the bag and showed it to her and she was quick to say she wanted to get it for me ! It was super sweet !

So here she is! My gorgeous new diaper bag that you'll see in the rest of my blogposts because I'm going to literally take it everywhere I go!

This diaper bag is just the right size, medium with plenty of compartments for mama and baby! It even comes with a round changing mat and bottle holder. We're getting ready to plan our first trip to Disneyland with kids and this is the perfect bag for that! I can see myself wrapping baby Ben in his Happy Wrap and carrying this diaper bag without a hassle! I can't say enough how much I love this bag! And it just looks so cute too! 

Chivas Skin Care Farm

Over the weekend, I volunteered to photograph the Chivas Skin Care Farm Day event which was held on Saturday in Fillmore,CA. The event was to invite people to the farm to get a tour of the Farm itself and a sneak peak at how they make their Natural skincare products made of goat milk. The Farm is run by Mother/ Daughter duo Donna and Lauren. They own their own goats and a few other farm animals and use the goat milk to make their products. They have a small lab on the farm where they combine the fresh goat milk to natural products to make amazing smelling soaps and creams. 

I was astonished when I learned about all the hard work that goes into making just one type of soap! I definitely appreciate a good product that is made with love and a product that is beneficial to your body and health. 

By volunteering to photograph the event, I was gifted $25 credit to their store and used it to test their soaps and gift a few to friends and family. 

I love the scents they offer and how soft and creamy it leaves my skin feeling. If you are on the hunt for new and natural products, you definitely want to check out http://www.chivasskincare.com

This is Donna explaining the process of making their products.

Stacey, creator of Simply All You Need tapenade. So delicious! Go check her stuff out!

This really was a neat treat to be a part of. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Chivas Skincare farm. If you are local, make sure to check their online calendar to sign up for their next event! 

Love At First Swipe (Dove product review)

As you may have noticed from the badge I have displayed on the top of this blog, I've signed up with Influenster to take surveys, write reviews on products I've used and to recieve voxboxes which contain new products for me to try out, for free! I love using this site to stay in tune with what's new and good and since I am now a mom of two, I can easily access it on my iPhone and take surveys all while I sit down to nurse. 

This month I've recieved the Dove Vox Box and in it came the Dove advanced care deodorant which claims to be a 48 hour anti-pressparant and provides nutrium moisture. I've been using it for the past week and a half and I must say, I am loving it!

Those dang post partum hormones have me getting hot flashes through out the day and this deordorant has kept me and my underarms in check and smelling pretty! I am definitely going to keep using this product and would recommend it to any new mommy or anyone at all looking for a good deordorant that will keep you looking and feeling like a lady all day long! Thumbs up to Dove! 

A Lush Bath (Product Review) and September Beauty Haul!

I recently met heaven in my bath tub... Okay, not literally but so close! Have you guys heard of Lush Cosmetics?! Well.... Let me introduce you!
Lush's products are all handmade and organic, made with fruits and veggies ( I wouln't recommend eating tho lol) They are all about not testing their products on animals and what not.

Now the fun to all of this: their bath bombs are amazing! They have so many different kinds to choose from! Anything from sleep inducing See how Noah uses Lush Bath Bombs HERE .  I looked for a cute bath bomb that wasn't too expensive. I went with the Sex Bomb... ya I know the name, I thought it was funny and it smelled delish! Cost me: $7.95


Now for Noah's bath bomb, we broke it into several different pieces but for the one I got, I went ahead and dropped the whole thing in! Here's how it looked:

I loved it! It felt so soothing, it smelled great and my skin was so silky soft! I hadn't had a good relaxing "me time " bath since I was pregnant so this was a nice treat! I had the canldes going and pandora on... it was great!

Happy spoiled relaxed me after bath.

I highly recommend going to Lush and trying out their products! I know I can't wait to go back! Next time I also want to try their natural shampoos or a face mask!

September was like Christmas for me since it was my birthday month ;) I fully enjoyed it and loved my gifts! I got some cash and giftcards and of course I used it mostly on makeup! Here's a look at my new make up family memebers :

Aren't they lovely?! I know,  I know, I have a makeup addiction. I already have more than I need but I can't stop! heehee.. I tried a few new products this make up haul. I was pumped to try all the new ELF cosmetics! They're dirt cheap and very good products for the most part! So far I'm loving the stuff I picked up. I also finally got lip balm from rosebud perfume co. I had been wanting to try and I absolutely love it! I carry it with me everywhere and use it at night before bed and when I wake up. My lips are silky soft and smell  like yummy strawberry thanks to that! My other new fave is the Urban Decay Powder. I love how well it covers! I got mine in a medium dark and it makes my face look flawless! I love it! I'm also trying out the Real Techniques make up brushes from Ulta. They're amazing! I've been using Crown makeup brushes for years and I actually fell in love with Real Techniques more! I def. need to load up on more.

Besides makeup, I've also bought a couple nail kits from Nail Inc from Sephora. I had never tried the brand but wow they are amazing! Here's a look at what I did to my nails with one of the kits:

For this look I used nail polish by Flower (made by Drew Barrymore) and then added the bow from nails inc kit.

Neat huh? I love them! I should probably do a makeup video... or showing you all how much of a makeup junkie i am lol . I did at one point get a second job at Sephora, on top of working 8 hours a day and going to school just to meet my makeup needs... oh the single life... ha.
Now that Noah is able to entertain himself for a while at a time I've been taking advantage and getting back to doing my make up on a daily basis and my hair and nails too.

Gotta love mommy life!
