Ipsy October Glam Bag Review

Hi ya'll! So finally, I have uploaded my Ipsy Glam Bag Review for October's glam bag. I am not that great at video editing or even taking videos so bare with me over the next few posts while you watch my horrendous editing and camera skills! There is a weird background noise which I am not sure where it came from and I can't edit it out without turning my voice down- sorry guys!

So what is ipsy? It's a monthly subscription service where you pay $10/mo to receive "deluxe samples" and full sized beauty products that are selected based on your profile quiz. When I signed up for ipsy I wanted to try new and exciting type products so I chose more "edgy" type things that I liked during the quiz, but as you can see in my video some stuff I am not thrilled about.  I did figure out though if you review stuff as not liking it, it *can* help when they select your items for the next month. I think with all these "personalized" beauty services it a hit or miss type deal.


I am fully aware the new November glam bags are about to be sent out but better late than never right?

Anyway this post is short and sweet because you have (over) ten minutes of listening to me babble on below. 


Thank you for reading/watching- and a comment below!

That time I neglected my blog...

So yeah, it's been three months since I last posted and I totally neglected this space. I keep making grand promises with nothing to back it up- and it's not like I don't actually do stuff like create videos, picture tutorials, etc. but I just don't ever actually follow through. 

I would say I am going to try harder, but alas my track record proves otherwise. So, what I am going to say is- I am going to put reminders on my phone to post. That way I can at least feel a pang of guilt when I ignore the alarm and go back to doing what I was already doing (just kidding). 

I really want a successful blog but in order to be successful, I probably should post more than once every couple of months. I mean you don't see Pioneer Woman or The Bloggess only posting once in a blue moon. Let us be real here- I probably will never equate to their following but a girl can dream. 

Anyway enough of my three paragraphs of me whining and making excuses as to why I am not here. Lets do a quick recap of what is going on with me ('cause it's all about meeee):


  • I am two classes away from starting student teaching in the spring which means in May 2015- I graduate college with my bachelor's in Interdisciplinary Studies! 
  • I turn 30 this month!?
  • I recently started the 30 day ab challenge- I am on day 3- not that you could actually see my abs for all the fat but one day..
  • I am obsessed with all things PUMPKIN as of late :)
  • I figured out I really need to make "me" time and by "me" time I mean make time to post on this damn blog that I harp about all the time!
  • My 5 year old is a force to be reckoned with.. Sometimes he has the attitude of a 13 year old girl,who just started getting periods!
So yeah that's a few little tidbits. I do have a vlog review of my October ipsy which I hopefully will get around to uploading tomorrow. 

Any that is all for now :)
