Goody QuikStyle Review - Influenster Holiday Vox Box

I recently received the 2012 Holiday Vox Box and one of the products was the Goody QuikStyle Paddle Hairbrush.

About this product:
The GOODY® QUIKSTYLE™ Paddle brush works like a towel and brush in one. The super absorbent (and antimicrobial) microfiber removes 30% of water from wet hair to help speed your drying time! You can effortlessly detangle right out of the shower and continue using it while you blow dry!
$12.99 at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Duane Reade 
I've been using this brush for about a week, but I am just not able to give a complete review due to the fact I don't have enough hair! Right when I got this brush I cut off all my hair - only a few inches at the longest. The idea of the brush though is great and once my thick hair gets longer this brush would be great. I'll definitely be holding on to it.

Kiss Nail Dress Review - Influenster Holiday Vox Box


I recently received Kiss Nail Dress from +Influenster to review.

Info about Kiss Nail Dress:

Introducing Kiss® Nail Dress™, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to a week. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 21 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep silver with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.

With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Add some pizzazz and use with imPRESS® Press-On Manicure™ by Broadway Nails for the ultimate DIY manicure. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.

And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.

Kiss Nail Dress’ suggested retail is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens. Visit KissNailDress.com to learn more!

I received the Jeweled Gold ones called "Babydoll"! I put them on during naptime last Wednsday and still have them on today! They last for up to 10 days - however I'm going to be removing mine. My nails grow fast so the Nail Dress no longer covers my nails! Also after about 4 days of wearing these, the jewels began to fall off! It's not obvious to the casual observer - just to me! I even received compliments on the nails Sunday while out shopping.

I've noticed several people saying theirs started to peel off. I highly recommend following the directions on the box! To get these to stay you need to clean all the oils off your nails with Alcohol or Nail Polish Remover. I used Nail Polish Remover and it worked great for me and they haven't peeled!



These Nail Dress' are very good quality despite the jewels falling off. I don't think I would wear them for every day wear, but they are great for special occasions.

You can see in this picture how fast my nails grow.

Custom Order - Go Team!

A local momma asked me to make some custom tee shirts for her little boy to wear to his siblings' basketball games. I love doing custom requests! These shirts turned out great. Let me know if you need any custom shirts done, I'm very reasonable in pricing and quick if I have everything in stock currently. You can also check out my ETSY shop (click on above tab) to see what items I have in stock or ideas for custom shirts.

Sunday Funday

Today my parents came to visit. Dad, Scott, and Alan all went fishing on Smith Mountain Lake while Mom, Adeline and I went to the mall.

For Christmas Adeline got a couple dresses from Matilda Jane and I couldn't wait till summer to put her in them (see THIS post for one dress)! So today I put her in one, it's too big for her right now, but I couldn't resist!




Once we got to the mall I decided to let Adeline play in the Play Area, and of course the dress got in the way, so off it had to go. She had a ton of fun, can't wait to take her back Wednesday for a play date!




Next we went down and rode one of the cars in the Food Court! One spoiled baby! Even had a random person say - "She looks like one spoiled baby" (in a good way...). And yep, there was a wardrobe change!

Jack Russel with a 1 yr old

Marie and Adeline

We are so very lucky that our Jack (Marie) gets along with and is tolerant of our 1 year old, Adeline. Sure it's not 100% perfect, but Marie can put up with a lot from Adeline.

Proof is in the pictures:

Step 1 - Grab dog by collar

Step 2 - Drag dog across floor by collar

Step 3 - Play!
