Hmmm..Ladies?! or maybe the Gents too....

Yes, LADIES and/or Gentlemen I don't have any food I want to review and show you....still no VoxBoxs either, and thats okay because I have thought of something else that awesome Pinterest has brought into my life, or shall I say person?

A few months ago, or MANY months ago, who knows I am not so great with remembering time frames but that's not important right? Right! I was surfing pinterest as I always do and I believe one of my friends pinned a pinned about a girl who shows step by step how to get flawless foundation face or something of that sort so it piqued my interest, plus lest I not forget how gorgeous she is! Naturally and makeup enhanced. Best of both beauty worlds.

Why do I love her so though? Not just the great make up tips and tutorials she does on youtube but she is SO down to earth and absolutely funny and shes comfortable with being who she is inside and out and it absolutely shows.

So, I am going to be posting her youtube video page if you want a look see about what i'm raving about. Not only that she also has some coupon codes for places like what hair styling tools she uses and let me tell you they are amazing deals!

Here is your look see!!

And I will post a few photos of her and her awesome work.



Hello!! Beautiful right?! Seriously go check this chick out. It will change your life! Okay maybe not so drastically but if you tend to be on the make up challenge side like I am then she will and can help you all the way!

Food review? GOOD food Review?

I sadly don't have any more Influenster VoxBox reviews to post about at the moment. I am hoping in the near future I will get that exciting special e-mail letting me know I got luck again to receive one.

Until then I suppose I can do some personal reviews of my own, like say...with food?

See, the thing about me is...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE FOOD! That too can be a problem if I am not eating the best kinds of food, but why must it taste soooooo gooooodd?! Why must there be so many creative souls out there that give food new life, wonder, and amazing tastes? Well, for people like me to try of course!

This is why Pinterest is dangerous for me. Most of my pins are of food. If you don't have a Pinterest you MUST get one, it will change your life. How it changes it is up to you.

So what recipe should I post a review about first? Desserts, sides, main dishes, oh goodness....Let me start with my board of successful Pinterest recipes, meaning I tried one I saw and it worked, Husband approved of course.

First Up is Pepperoni Pizza rolls. YUM. I pinned it on Pinterest from the website itself because to me that's the best source. I have seen it pinned many times since it is easy, tasty, simple, but so perfect to make. I usually have to make 1 1/2 pans of this because my husband can't get enough.

The above picture gives you a glimpse of how easy these are to make and are from the original poster of the recipe from the blog The Gunny Sack.

Let's get started!

Ingredients
3 cans Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits (10 biscuits per can) *or any store brand works too*
56 pepperoni slices
Block of cheese (I use Colby & Monterey Jack)
1 beaten egg
Parmesan
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
1 jar pizza sauce *or any type of spaghetti Sauce*

(The * are my personal touches from the original recipe)

Instructions
  1. Cut the block of cheese into at least 28 squares.
  2. Flatten a biscuit out and stack pepperoni and cheese on top.
  3. Gather up the edges of the biscuit.
  4. Line the rolls up (seam side down) in a greased 9×13 in. pan.
  5. Brush with beaten egg.
  6. Sprinkle with Parmesan, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
  7. Bake at 425°F for 18-20 minutes.
  8. Serve the rolls with warm pizza sauce for dipping
I am posting the Original link Here. It has the step by step photos as well.

I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine does!

Holiday Influenster VoxBox Review Quaker Real Medleys

I know I have not been on much. Lots of work, end of summer, personal things I am having to deal with as well. I did not forget my blog though.

This next review is a Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal. Before I ever received it in my box I kept seeing it and wanting to try it, just never did. Luckily, the voxboxs always seem to come through with items I have been wanting to try.

The flavor I got was Cherry Pistachio. I was stoked. I love cherries and I love pistachios, and mixing it in with healthy oatmeal had to be a plus. Its also got nothing but goodness for you I mean hello whole grain oats, rye, barley, and wheat plus the real fruit and nuts mixed in.

On my pinterest I gave a positive review, and while I still think positively of it, I am not sure I really would like to try it again. Its not bad, but its just not for me in terms of oatmeal. Its healthy and soul warming, but I have to admit I may stick to the packets of oatmeal if I ever get the urge to eat it.

They are sold in individual cups such as the one shown above. They retail for around $1.79 each. It comes in four other flavors such as Blueberry Hazelnut, Summer Berry, Apple Walnut and Peach Almond.

To learn more about them you can always visit their website http://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/real-medleys/apple-walnut-oatmeal.aspx

Now, unfortunately to say, I have only 1 review left from the Holiday VoxBox for you guys. Of course I am always actively doing reviews and surveys and whatever else they have to try to gain another VoxBox to review.
