Last Minute Present: Oven Mitt

This is a super easy (and cheap) present that someone who loves baking or cooking would adore! I received this as a gift last year and I was so excited! To top it all off, this present couldn't get any easier, and it could be made for under $10 but is very versatile and can be made as elaborate or simple as you want!

So the basics, you are going to need an oven mitt to put the whole present in, and then a few tools to solidify the cooking theme. I know for a fact the mitt, as well as the tools below, came from Walmart and can be snagged super cheap.

Then you need to fill it with candy and food! In mine she added chocolate chip cookie mix, hot chocolate mix, and candy canes. Super simple right? And definitely something you could run to Walmart right now and put together.

Like I said before, there are many variations you could do with this present! My mom has a wood burning tool and can burn designs into wooden spoons and cutting boards, so that would be a really cool and personal edition to this present. My dad made this for his coworkers and left out the cookie mix but added more candy. I made this for someone for their wedding and added jars with chalkboard labels, measuring spoons and cups, all in a basket! It was more expensive, but super cute! You can go a number of ways with this, and all of them are cute and easy, and if given to the right person they will love it!

Ipsy: June

My June Ipsy bag! Probably my least favorite part of this bag... was the actual bag. It's quite ugly, but the products are good for the most part! This Be a Bombshell lipgloss in Secret is ok… It’s a nice brand, so I’m not mad at it, it just isn't my favorite. I put it on and it had almost a concealer like tint instead of the pretty pinky nude in the tube. I have used it since and if used with a lighter hand, it's ok. I love this Formula X nail polish by Sephora in Wingwoman! It is such a nice dark pink/red color, and it didn't chip! Do you know how hard it is to find a nail polish that doest chip on me? This Three Tone "Bronzer" by Crown Brush is ridiculous... It looks like little kids play makeup. It has a strip of bronze, a strip of pink, and one of a "highlight," and as soon as I took it out of he box the packaging fell apart. I didn't even bother trying it, I just listed it on a swap website. But t

Homecoming VoxBox

I was so happy to have received another awesome box of free stuff in the mail!! I love getting mail... Especially packages! This is called the "Homecoming VoxBox" I'm assuming this means it contains things such as school essentials, and things to make yourself look super cute for Homecoming court and Homecoming dances! Oh, and food, what High Schooler doesn't love food. I'll start out with the given product description, and then give my personal opinion... "Luden’s throat drops offer deliciously soothing relief of irritated throats. Enjoy 4 new flavors: WATERMELON, Strawberry-Banana, Blue Raspberry, and Green Apple." I am not the type of person who reachers for cough drops every time they get sick, because I think they are disgusting, but apparently these taste like candy! So Watermelon for the win! "Red Vines candy is the deliciously rewarding treat that has been making special moments even sweeter for generat

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did?? I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels. They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well! I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one. But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection. The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile." It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs. I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones! I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it? But no worries
