Recent Loves Worth Sharing!!

I am a girly girl...always have been, always will be!  I love anything that has to do with beauty products, jewelry, cute clothes....you get the idea.  So when I come across cutesy stores, monthly beauty subscriptions, and good deals...I'm kind of a sucker!!  #nowillpower

I want to share a couple of amazingly AWESOME products/stores that have made their way into my heart!!

The first one is Birchbox!!  You know when you go to your favorite beauty store and they hook you up with samples of the latest and greatest beauty products?!?!  Well, imagine getting your own personalized box of samples (sometimes even deluxe samples) delivered to your door every month for only 10 bucks!!  It's the little pink box that puts a smile on my face every time I see it in my mailbox!  Or, if my husband finds it first, it puts a look of confusion on his face because he just doesn't understand!!  Men!!

Go check it out here and sign up!!

Next up is my most recent find....Julep Maven.  I heart nail polish.  As if you didn't already know that by this post!  I can't believe I had never heard of this brand until just recently!!  Oh, the things you learn in blog land :)  Similar to Birchbox, this is a monthly subscription.  I just got my first box a couple days ago and I have to say this may be the best nail polish I've ever used.  Seriously...it went on without getting all goopy or bubbly and the color is true to how it looks in the bottle.  We all know we've bought a nail polish only to get home and it's way too light or way too dark.  

In my first box, I got 2 colors - Sasha and Toni - and I also got a Pedi Creme and a cute little bag.

I decided to use Sasha this week and I love this color!!


Want to try it out??  (and you should)  Click here!

I have also recently found BaubleBar and Box of Pretties!!  BaubleBar is an online store jam packed with CUTE CUTE jewelry!!  It's VERY reasonably priced AND you get $10 just for signing up!!  So you could get a pair of earrings for around $12!!  Did I mention it was cute??  Box of Pretties is an online auction type store that has clothing and accessories.  I'm pretty much in love with everything they have!  They are having a giveaway right now for a necklace that I need....yes, I need it!  So....I'm asking so every nicely, and maybe even begging a little, to go "like" their Facebook page and tell them Kari Webb sent you!!  I will be your BFF forever and ever!!  :)

Oh, and I'm also linking up with tara over at fabulousbutevil for her weekly link up of "the nail files" - go check her out!!

    I've kind of wanted to try Julep but am totally on the fence. Maybe I should ask for it for a birthday present!

    I’m seriously considering Birch Box. I’ve been thinking about it for a few months. Some people love it and some hate it. Hmmm… I do love samples though. (Thank you for all the ones you sent me! I’ve already used two!) I love both of your Julep colors! Julep is so amazing. I have a mani/pedi appointment there next week!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn

A Batman Wedding and a $9 Wedding Dress

I was on this blog today and she was talking about how women spend so much money on wedding dresses.  It reminded me of my wedding and then I realized I've never blogged about it!!!  It's already been a year and half and I still haven't even scrapbooked it!!!  Where does the time go? Ok...to the dress.  I knew exactly what I wanted.  I wanted it to be short, satin, and a "pick-up" style dress.  I looked around at David's Bridal and other stores but I just couldn't see spending more than $100 on my dress.  (I've been married before and had the big, fancy wedding - and we see how well that worked out!!)  So this time, I wanted a small wedding and didn't want to spend much.  I walked into Ross one day looking for something else and decided to walk through the dresses to look for a dress for my sis, the MOH.  It was like the clouds opened up and the angels were singing and the sun beamed down on this dress.  You can't really tell from this pic,
