Target Beauty Haul!



Hello All!

As some of you may know, I am a preschool teacher. This past week has been teacher appreciation WEEK (not good for a lady on Weight Watchers...) and I recieved a Target gift card at the end of the week from our wonderful parents. They take such good care of us teachers! I couldn't decide what to spend it on but ultimately decided on some beauty products I've been wanting to try that I've seen my favorite beauty gurus talking about on YouTube and Instagram.

Below is what I picked up!

Hair Products:



Organix Cocunut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner and
Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Intensive Moisture Treatment.
I am so excited to try these out! I've been meaning to pick them up for a while!

Face Products:



St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub and
Up & Up Maximum Stength Acne Medication.
I've needed some new face wash and I've heard great things about the Apricot Scrub.
I have also needed a spot treatment and even though I would love Lush's Grease Lightning,
Lush isn't so close to home so I decided to try this Target Brand spot treatment out!
It has 10% Benzoyl Peroxide.



Makeup Products:



First, the brush you can't see (sorry about that!) is an ELF Small Stipple Brush,
Revlon Photo Ready BB Cream in Light Medium,
EOS Lip Balm Pomegranate Raspberry,
and Maybelline The Rocket Waterproof Mascara.
Super excited about all of these products because I have been
putting them all off for quite a while!



Please if you want a more detailed post about a certain product either leave a comment or find me on Instagram @sksinatra. I want to do a before and after/review of the Revlon BB Cream soon so keep an eye out for it!

Until next time,

Samantha

Friends, Weight Watchers, and Clementine!

I haven't been on much in the last two months with the business of school, work, and our puppy Clementine but a few things happened yesterday that inspired me to want to get back on and continue sharing my thoughts and passions with you.

First, I recieved an email yesterday from a nice woman named Gabby asking if I would be interested in having my Maybelline Color Whisper post featured on her website sweetandstyle.com. OF COURSE I emailed back! Someone liked my blog and my post so much she wanted to share it with the world. This makes me very excited. I blog because I know someone out there is interested. Someone is interested in the makeup I post about, or the outfit I'm wearing that day, or even about my life that week. I hope I make someones day better and inspire them somehow. You can find my post on her blog at www.sweetandstyle.com/blog.html

Second, I joined Weight Watchers yesterday! I am extremely excited about this and hope I can stick with it at least until the end of the year. I have had an issue with my weight my entire life and I could never stick with any diet long enough to see any results so I believe if I'm paying every month and I have to go in every Sunday to weigh in, maybe this time I can get down to my goal weight. Like I've wanted my entire life. I really love the PointsPlus system and with today's technology tracking is so easy with the WW iPhone app. I'm hoping to post here often with tips and things I've eaten that I think someone might enjoy :)

Third, and last but not least, CLEMENTINE. A little over two months ago I posted that we were getting our furbaby that week. Our eight month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. It has been two months now and she weighs 10 pounds more than when we picked her up that day but she is still perfect and I am so happy that she makes me so happy. We decided on the name Clementine, a name that wasn't in the ultimate list, and when we saw her, Clementine fit perfectly. She loves the dog park in our town and we just went to the beach a couple of days ago. I enjoy, and I'm sure she does too, the San Diego Corgi group we have on the Meetup website. So many corgi friends here and so many events we enjoy attending! Clementine has her own Instagram @clemycorgi and her own Tumblr clemycorgi.tumblr.com

 Until next time,

Samantha
