ChicoBag Review & Giveaway!


I discovered this nifty reusable bag company right before I got pregnant with Silas, and I have been a big fan ever since. I actually noticed a large basket of them for sale by the register at my local Earth Fare recently - go ChicoBag! :) This company has such a commitment to our environment and it makes me really happy to see their products catching on. Today I'm going to review their limited edition "Don't Feed the Bag Monster" bag, that is produced on their Original style bag. (I own a couple of these in different colors) I find that they are very handy for thrift shopping, I like to clip mine onto Miri's stroller. The best feature about the ChicoBags is the little integrated pouch that they stuff into. They are a perfect handbag size...or diaper bag size for that matter, so then you're never without it! They are also light-weight and very sturdy - I have not ripped one yet! (25 pound carrying capacity) This particular style comes with two convenient handles and a carabiner - so your bag can be clipped anywhere. (Keys, jeans, etc) I love they they are not bulky like most of the shopper bags you see in stores, and they come in so many fancy colors! (Go check them out) I believe I will carry my new ChicoBag down to the farmer's market this weekend. :) Have you never tried one of these?

Oh - I know you would. ;)

It's another giveaway y'all! If you entered my last contest then you know how this whole thang works. The contest runs for a total of 7 days, and then Rafflecopter randomly selects a winner. If you "like" my Facebook page and follow me on Twitter it increases your chance of winning. The lucky person selected will receive one "Don't Feed the Bag Monster" ChicoBag. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor. (Oh - I went there.)

Review | Katy Perry Lashes by Eylure

This review is the first of two false lash reviews I will be posting this week. Both sets are by the brand Eylure. Naturally, since I am a bumbling idiot when it comes to applying false lashes...I grabbed the self-adhesive pair first. I think applying false lashes is a skill that develops over time. So I'm sure there is hope for me yet. ;)
Oh so cute packaging ^^ I love the retro feel.
From what I can tell, each box is different. (Visit the link above and you will see what I mean) That makes re-purchasing them so much easier. For example, when I go to Ulta next time I will just grab the "orange" box. :)

These lashes were fantastically quick and easy to apply. I'm so use to dealing with messy glue. When I initially examined the lashes I was worried that they weren't natural looking enough for me. I was really wrong. Once I applied them they blended right in with my real lashes and didn't look "fake" at all. They were super lightweight and comfortable too. :)

See how natural and fantastic they look? ^^ I'm very pleased with them. Did I mention they are reusable? (They also include a second glue strip)

I applied a little bit of black liquid eyeliner in the inside corner of my eye to hide the glue line. If you have mad skills in lash application this step probably won't be necessary. 

Lastly, a nice side view. :) I really do recommend this line of Eylure lashes. Color me very impressed folks! (Go buy yourself a pair!) Also, more stores than just Ulta sell them. I just happened to use Ulta's link. 

I hope everybody is having a great Thursday!
