Present DIY: Mugcake

So I understand that this is staged fall instead of Christmas, but I made this and took the pictures before my anniversary in October! Sadly, very few people have holidays in October, so I decided to hold on to the pictures until Christmas when it could actually be useful!

Aaaaanyway, this is my version of an easy double chocolate mug cake!  This is an easy present you could make for someone in no time for under $5.  If you gave them this and a nice mug that would be an awesome present!


What you will need:
  • Angel Food Cake Mix
  • Devil's Food Cake Mix (Or any flavor really! This is up to you as long as you have the Angel Food in there)
  • Chocolate Chips (Optional)
  • Pretty Container 

From this point it's pretty easy!  Just mix a full box of angel food with a full box of devil's food, add as many chocolate chips as you want, and you are done!  Because this isn't a super dense cake, the chocolate chips will fall to the bottom giving it a chocolate lava cake kind of consistency; if you don't want that then leave them out!  

Now you need to package it!  I bought this plastic clear container at the Dollar Tree, it doesn't get much easier than that!  A mason jar would also be super cute.  After putting it in something you can decorate it as much or as little as you want.  I added a little bit of red sparkly washi tape, and a chalkboard label on the front with the name and on the back with the directions.


Now, about the directions.  To get the perfect consistency you have to mix it a certain way, and it doesn't get much more simple than this... 

Directions:
3 Tbsp of Mix
2 Tbsp of Water
1 Minute in the Microwave



And that is it!  Super simple right? 

________________________________________________________________

Now let's talk a minute, I am home for Christmas break for almost a month and a half!  So, hopefully during that time I am going to return to posting on both Saturday and Wednesday for fun!  Also, after Christmas I plan to FINALLY get up my Disney blogs for a little bit of summer fun in the winter!  Even though most of the writing is done, putting together something like that is a huge time commitment, and that is time I just don't have during the semester, so I thought during winter break would be the perfect time!  So in the the next month you can look forward to hauls, present ideas, maybe something birthday related, Disney, and of course more subscription boxes! 
Hope you all enjoy!

Walmart Box: Spring

Out of school and back to Wednesday posts!  And we are kicking off this extra posting day with... The new Spring Walmart Box!  I know I always post these pretty late, and I don't know why, because I really do love them!  And for $5?  You really can't beat it! This is the Dove Advanced Care deodorant in a scent very similar to the cucumber scent that everyone used to be crazy over in the 90s... I was sick of it then, but it was kind of nice to have a little throwback sample!  I've used the heck out of it and it has held up well! This is the Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair Ultra Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner.  It is made to intensely hydrate and soften hair.  I am always looking for new baby shampoo and conditioners to take with me on trips! This is the Bioré Baking Soda Acne Scrub.  At some other point I had received the pore cleansing scrub, and I am very interested in what the difference is, if there is one.  What I mostly remember about the other one

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website.  You are going to get

St. Ives Influenster VoxBox

Good news, I received another Influenster VoxBox!! This was a Holiday campaign following New Years, and was sponsored by St. Ives.  Now as always, I did receive these products for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are completely my own! Oatmeal Scrub and Mask If you are used to their ever popular Apricot Scrub, this is quite a different experience.  Where the Apricot Scrub has large abrasive pieces, the Oatmeal Scrub has smaller and gentler pieces, but significantly more of them.  This also has a much thicker and stickier consistency, with a smell that is reminiscent of sunscreen.  The way I chose to use this was as a mask.  I applied a generous amount to my face, rubbing in circular motions, making sure it was fully scrubbed and evenly covered.  The bottle recommends letting it soak in for 5-7 minutes.  After the lime elapsed, I put some water on my fingers and rewet the mask, scrubbing in circular motions once again, and then rinsed!  This was the 6 oz bottle, which re
