5 for Five


Linking up today for 5 for Five. The last time I linked up, maybe a month ago, I had a lot on my list. If you know me, then you know I've had a busy month. shit I have a busy life. I have a lot of Giveaways going on for you right now but those will slow down too. It's a lot of work. With my hectic schedule, I'm not even focused on blogging. I hate when I can't post something that I really want to or when I forget to post something that I needed to! 


http://www.thestickynoteaddict.com/2014/03/5-for-five-volume-52.html 
Last weeks goals;

1. Work out 3x - I have got to get ready for Miami! So I plan on doing the five day clean eating AGAIN! One thing I have to do is my March Squat Challenge! 
2. Mail out my giveaway polish
3. Call to get Obama-care/ Call my Lawyer
4. Get my nails done
5. Get a Monthly planner and get some things in order (blogging, food, and budget) Those three are very important!


After a month I finally did everything except my march squat challenge and get a planner.

This weeks goals; 

1. GET MONTHLY BUDGET IN ORDER - If you didn't hear, I just bought a car! It wasn't planned at all, I fell in love and now it's mine! I'm now a part of the #Mazda3 Family! With this and all my monthly bills I def need a planner and start or should I say stop spending money in the wrong places! I also need to pull out my good old checkbook, haven't had that in years, but It might keep me from over spending.
2. WORK OUT 3X
3. KEEP A PLANNER FOR FOOD - I'm about to get real serious! I was even thinking about signing up for revolt now fitness. I once blogged about it but I didn't keep up with it. maybe this time I can! I'm trying to get back into a bikini this year!
4. MAKE A BUNCH OF PHONE CALLS - JC penneys, Macy's (returning shoes from last year LOL), my lawyer ( I need some settlement money like yesterday!), Health Insurance

The benefits of Coconut Oil


Have you all heard about coconut oil? It's the latest craze!! I knew about it before but never knew all of the health benefits that comes with it. Well I'm here to tell you half of them!

Coconut oil is one of the few foods that can be classified as a “superfood.” Not only is this great to cook with but there are so many beauty benefits that come in this bottle!

 It’s loaded with Vitamin E and fatty acids which are anti-fungal, anti-oxidizing and anti-bacterial, all the good things our bodies love! 


  • Cooking - instead of Vegetable oil, this is a great alternative! 
  • Oil Pulling - I know this sounds so ridiculous! But I have heard it really works! read more about that here I've been doing it for about 2 weeks on and off now and I'm very anxious to see if it works!
  • Cradle cap or Diaper rash for baby
  • Healing of tattoos
  • Reduce visibility of stretch marks or prevent them
  • Treating athlete's foot, ringworm, or any other infections
  • Dry Skin - You can apply it directly like a lotion
  • Shaving (read about my post here)
  • Face Wash
  • Makeup Remover
  • Dry Damaged Hair - Massage the coconut oil into dry hair and shampoo like normal. This will help strengthen and shine your hair
  • Dandruff -Massage the coconut oil on your scalp - Leave it overnight - Wash it in the morning. Regular use will help clear dandruff. It promotes hair growth providing a beautiful shine.
  • Reduce Frizz and Shine -Add a little to your ends for frizz control and to add shine. A small dab will do the trick - any more and your hair might appear greasy.
  • Energy boost
  • Natural Sunscreen
  • Insect repellent
  • A spoon full for heartburn, indigestion, & acid reflux - you can take a spoonful everyday for your basic immune system function
  • Mix with baking soda for a body scrub 
That is just some!! Check out more here & here

When buying coconut oil.. look for extra virgin, not refined  - this will work the best!

First Day Of Spring ME Makeup Giveaway


Since it's the first day of Spring, what better way to celebrate then with a Review & Giveaway!!

On my trip to Miami I came across a lady selling a line of make-up that I had never heard before. I figured it was a Florida thing, and instantly thought of putting it on here for you all to read about. Even better that it was buy one and get one free! 



So Makeover Essential Cosmetics is not based out of Florida. They are located in California but have sellers everywhere! I couldn't really get much from their site, but it looks to me like they started blogging in October 2013.

I don't wear make-up every day. Anyone that knows me, knows that..but this little kit is so compact to carry around and has all of the every day make-up that I could wear! 



 ME Weekly Essentials Kit - 6 Eye Shadows, 3 Lip Gloss, 1 Blush, 1 Concealer, 1 Mascara, 1 Lip Pencil, 1 Black Eye Pencil, 1 Translucent Powder, 3 Applicators, 1 Puff, Black Mirrored case with pull out drawer.
Ophthalmologist tested.
Animal Testing was not used in the manufacturing of this product.

When trying this product I instantly fell in love. Everything went on great. 
  • The eye shadows are perfect for my complexion. Although they didn't go on too dark, they worked for me. 
  • The lip glosses were also the perfect tint for me. I just recently got into the darker lip gloss since I started Ipsy.
  • I use blush every day, and boy does this stuff work! I only touch the palette a little and it goes on like butter. And it lasts a long time!


  • Mascara is a big deal to me. This isn't the BEST when it comes to length and thickness, but it does it's job. It's also not hard on your lashes or clumps them up. It's even easier to wipe off! 
 
  • The wipes & brushes were a great plus! I usually don't use either but I definitely will use them now. The wipes worked very well and didn't break my skin out, or leave it greasy! 

Other Reviews - 

“The best makeup remover I have ever used!!” - Carla 

“so glad I bought your little goody bag! The make-up remover is awesome! good bye Mary Kay… hello Makeover Essentials!”- Melody
