Over the weekend we went to the Florida Aquarium. I was so excited to see all the different types of fish, birds, plants, animals and reptiles.... ok not pleased to see the reptiles or SHARKS. While watching the shark tank they would swim around turn and look they were coming right at you. Completely creepy. Thank goodness for 12 inches of super thick glass :) A gal at work caught a shark and of course let it go but she loved it. I was like um lol no I would completely freak out.</div>

Over the weekend Jerry and I went to Downtown Disney. I love everything Disney/Pixar so I was super excited. It was scorching hot outside but the boat rides, movies and walking around made it worth it :) Even though I live in Orlando I don't really go that often. But when I do go I always have to go to Goof's Candy Co., VinylNation, Basin and of course the super huge Disney store. Goofy's Candy Co. has the most amazing Peanut Butter cookies ever and a tons of other sweets. </div>

ReviewAbout a month ago I received my first VoxBox from <a href="http://www.influenster.com/" style="color: #b6c150;" target="_blank">Influenster</a>. Influenster is a community of people who get to test products and give feedback based on their findings. To find out more info about the program <a href="http://www.influenster.com/Influenster-Default/INFLUENSTER-OVERVIEW" style="color: #b6c150;" target="_blank">click here.</a> Oh and its free to join :) <br />
<br />
One of the items I received for
testing was <a href="http://sallyhansen.com/products/nails/nail-color/salon-effects-real-nail-polish-strips" style="color: #b6c150;" target="_blank">Sally Hansen's Salon Effects</a>. My first impression
was hmmm I'm not a cheetah kinda girl but I'll give it a whirl. I'm
always painting my nails and I thought this would be better since
they're pre-made designs and probably won't have the overwhelming nail
polish smell. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
After putting the Salon Effects on my
nails I'm over all happy with the product. They are easy to use (5 simple
steps), they don't take up to much time, they are super shiny (I
added a top coat) and last quite awhile. I can't wait to try some other designs.<span style="color: orange;"> </span><a href="http://www.sephora.com/trend-tips-P299606?skuId=1383785" style="color: #b6c150;" target="_blank">Sephora</a><span style="color: #b6c150;"> </span>has some OPI ones I've been eying for awhile too.Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11098653241306594577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971561431670736845.post-29775233074881414192012-03-25T19:05:00.002-04:002012-09-07T23:09:17.434-04:00ShiningHi everyone. I hope your having a great weekend! I just wanted to share a few of my go to nail polishes for this Spring. They're pastel and remind me of Easter eggs lol :) I've really been liking these brands but I use the essence polishes more. They have a semi wide variety of colors, their inexpensive and last a really long time (I found mine at Ulta).<br />

1. My dad is a farmer (his second job). Yep. I grew up on a farm sorta well my grandpa lives at the farm and we live down the road. I used to spend my spring breaks cutting/stacking wood, summers bailing hay/straw and picking rocks in the field. What fun.... NOT.... but I got to spend time with dad and grandpa, get a farmers tan, and build a little arm muscle lol. <br />
<br />
2. I used to show sheep in 4-H for eight years. I would name them.... Oh how I remember John Smith and Pocahontas. I tried to find a pic but I think there all in Michigan :( <br />

3. When I visit family in the winter up north I like refuse to drive in the snow since a incident a few years back. I hate black ice. <br />
<br />
4. I'm super afraid of heights so planes are always a trip!<br />

It's the allergy and nasty cold combo. Yesterday I went through a entire box of Kleenex like it was nothing lol. But I feel like its starting to pass thank god. The weather here in Florida has been so crazy. I get so excited when its super cold then all the sudden it 89 the next day :( I think the climate needs to decide to stay one temperature. Anyway its Wednesday...YAY! Half way through the work week. I can't wait for the weekend. So many things to do and hopefully I'll be able to sew a bit: )Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11098653241306594577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971561431670736845.post-37477697504899930412012-02-28T21:07:00.000-05:002012-02-28T21:14:56.497-05:00Feeling Crafty???So lately I've been inspired by Youtube crafts and tutorials.

I'm not really into the whole lovey dovy day but its a reason to decorate in pink and red, get flowers, chocolate, and eat cupcakes:) Jerry isn't into Valentines Day at all. Bummer! So my motivation is like out the door. But I found some really cute downloadable Valentine cards that would be great for family, friends, or co-workers:) <br />

I love their products. They smell good, are good for you, and all natural :) They have so many products its crazy. If your not familiar with LUSH they have bath, hair and skin products (that are handmade). I've always kinda steered away from them just because its a bit pricey and well I could get cheaper products at Bath and Body Works. But there was something that reeled me in and now I'm completely hooked. Maybe its because I have a higher interest in protecting/taking care of my skin and looking at the ingredients. Either way I'm stoked! I'm fairly new to using their products so I was wondering do any of you use their products? If so do you recommend anything?Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11098653241306594577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971561431670736845.post-18593688909305378122012-02-03T20:53:00.002-05:002012-02-03T20:55:05.668-05:00Wishes!Today is my dads Birthday and Sunday is my parents anniversary.

I decided to join <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/join/">Birchbox </a>and <a href="http://www.myglam.com/how-it-works">MyGlam</a> bag monthly. If your not familiar with these they send you 4-5 high end deluxe size samples to you. I kinda like this since there are so many products out there and I thought this might help me decide what I like more instead of buying a full size product and being stuck with it . I received my first packages from each and I must say I'm impressed. More so with MyGlam because they sent me some full size products for only $10. That's crazy especially seeing how much they cost.<br />

I also purchased some eyeshadow and blush palettes over the weekend I can't wait to try :) Its a little weird I like makeup because well I really never wore any just some bronzer and eyeshadow.

The only down side is my poor iPhone fell and the screen shattered. I decided to put a cute lil Chip n Dale sticker on the really bad part so I don't get cut. But what to do???? There are a few options but it breaks my heart to see it broken.Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11098653241306594577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971561431670736845.post-26604036876711689902012-01-10T20:49:00.000-05:002012-01-10T20:49:01.002-05:00Effects!Its Tuesday already... This week is going by so fast. Over the weekend Tori came over and we did some sewing. I'm almost
finished with two purses and hopefully I'll finish them later this week. <br />
<br />
I also have been busy creating a motion graphics piece. I do love some After Effects. For those of you that don't know the program you can edit (sorta), change video color, add 2d and 3d effects. The possibilities are endless :) also <a href="http://www.videocopilot.net/">Video Copilot</a> with Andrew Kramer has some amazing AE tutorials. I can spend hours just looking at his videos for inspiration/knowledge. He's one talented fella. I want to own all his plug-ins so badly especially optical flares :)Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11098653241306594577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971561431670736845.post-17189631993002990282012-01-04T21:56:00.002-05:002012-01-04T22:17:09.622-05:00A Year Older!Today is my 26th Birthday.

After work Jerry surprised me with my favorite roses and took me to Carrabba's:) I love Italian food. Oh if you ever go there you should try the Chocolate Bread Pudding its yummy. Then we went to the movies and I got a Red Velvet Cupcake.

1. Eat less cupcakes. Yes I do love sweets but I'm going to cut back.<br />
2. Try to minimize my Diet Coke intake. I drink way to much....<br />
3. Draw a few Art Pieces. Maybe of family pets.<br />
<br />
I think these are doable. The first two are going to be tough.Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11098653241306594577noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971561431670736845.post-21386034517906663292012-01-02T19:22:00.004-05:002012-01-02T19:53:53.762-05:00New Year!I hope you all had a great New Years!<br />

2012 is going to be awesome I just know it. 2011 wasn't the best. I moved from Tampa to Orlando and had to say goodbye to a few friends (I see them sometimes but schedules conflict). Also I don't think I ever shared this on my blog but I lost my job last May since my employers at the time were going through some economic hardships and I was one of the first things to go:( I was their only full time employee. It was a blow but I kinda knew it was coming. So yeah I was unemployed for about six and a half months. It sucked. It was a financial strain and a hole lotta stress. Then I found a new amazing Multimedia Design job in November and guess what it relates to the beauty industry. I get to design, edit videos, and code sites. I'm an all around-er :) The people there are nice and I can't wait to grow with the company. Fingers crossed 2012 has a few surprises and amazing adventures.<br />
<br />
Are you looking forward to anything in particular for 2012?Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11098653241306594577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971561431670736845.post-40461185039471615502011-12-28T22:29:00.001-05:002011-12-28T22:29:12.567-05:00After ChristmasI hope you had an awesome Christmas! Mine was a little different. Normally I go back to Michigan and spent time with my family but this year I had to stay in Florida so I went to Jerry's parents. I'm not going to lie I was having a really hard time. Christmas is my favorite holiday, it was super hot here, and I miss my family so it was so so.<br />

Although I did have an awesome weekend visiting friends, shopping, crocheting, seeing some weird light exhibit (they had creepy plastic Santa's and stuffed toys), and spending time with the Killebrew's (Jerry's family).<br />

I get distracted so easily. Anyway here are a few that I thought were clever.<br />
<br />
This geometric wreath idea from Meg Allan Cole is super simple and cute.<br />
<br />

<br />
I love bath products so why not make my own bath bombs? This gal has a tutorial for moisturizing bath bombs.<br />
<br />

<br />
A feather boa, fiesta, tinsel, and woodland tree. Why not??? This is such a clever idea. I never knew you could use a tomato cage to create a festive tree.<br />
<br />

They are to cute! Plus this tutorial/Kandee is awesome. Not your typical Youtuber (is that a word?) anyway I really like the White Christmas idea and the Santa's Coat. These are great for Christmas week.<br />

Oh yes Christmas is coming I can't wait!!! The baking, gift giving, lights, and spending time with family and friends :)Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11098653241306594577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971561431670736845.post-65001059609006620002011-12-14T21:29:00.000-05:002011-12-14T21:29:07.037-05:00For the Pups!Have you ever been stumped on what to get your furry lil pup or family pup? Well why not make them something amazing that they will either love to eat, play, or cuddle with? I personally don't have a pup but my family has 3 beagles (Sadie, Ginger, and Ruby) and another dog named Hunter. They are so precious. But every year my sister Kels puts up their own Christmas tree down stairs and puts toys and treats underneath it. So far I got them marshmallows (their treat of choice), some of their favorite food, and some other treats but I was looking around and found some other cute ideas listed below :) <br />
