This recipe is from the Pillsbury Complete Cookbook. (I love this cookbook btw, it's one of my favorites!)<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
3/4 cup sugar<br />
1/2 cup butter, soften<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 cup (2 medium) mashed ripe bananas ( I added 3 when I made mine, I just love bananas)<br />
1/3 cup milk<br />
1 teaspoon of vanilla<br />
2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
1/2 cup chopped nuts ( I substituted this with the chocolate chips, I used semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips)<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1/2 teaspoon of salt<br />
<br />
1. Heat oven to 350 F. Grease bottom only of 9x5 or 8x4 inch loaf pan. In large bowl, combine sugar and butter; beat util light and fluffy. Add eggs, beat well. Add bananas, milk and vanilla, blend well.<br />
<br />
2. In small bowl, combine flour, nuts(if you want it like my bread, chocolate chips then), baking soda, and salt, mix well. Add to banana mixture; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour into greased pan.<br />
<br />

My Opinions<br />
<br />
Color:<br />
The pattern that I received was Over the Moon. I thought this pattern was gorgeous and had a very sophisticated look. It was a plumish-maroon background color with gold designs. Very pretty! <br />

<br />
Application: <br />
The application was super easy. In the packaging, it comes with a little towelette to clean your nails with before applying the press-on nails. After cleaning your nails with the towelette, then it is time to apply your press-on nails. All you have to do is look at the nail sizes that is provided in the package and match up to your nails as best as you can. After you find which nails will work for you, it is application time. The nails have a little cover that protects the glue that is on the nail. You just take the cover off then press it on to your real nails and hold for about 20-30 seconds and voila you have an instant manicure. I thought this was going to be really hard to do because when it comes to manicure stuff, I am not the best, but I found this process very easy. It doesn't take much time at all. I was very impressed at how easy it was for me to apply these nails. After I applied my nails, I cut them down to a length I felt comfortable with as the length was a little too long for my liking. It is really easy to cut the nails and file them to your perfect length. <br />
<br />
Durability:<br />
I left my nails on for five days before I took them off. One of my nails was getting close to falling off, so there I figured it was about time to take them off. I was pretty impressed at how sturdy the nails were as they felt like they had a lot of give with out them popping off. I don't know if I would keep them on longer for a week, but I think they are strong/durable enough to hold for a week. I think one of the reasons one of my nails start coming undone from my finger was because I have a bad habit of playing with my nails, so if you don't mess with them too much, they should last for a week. <br />
<br />
<br />
Overall Impressions:<br />
Overall, I really like this product and I am not a huge fan of artificial nails, but I think this an inexpensive alternative to going to the salon to get your nails done. I am planning to buy this product in the future when I have a special event to attend or when I am just in the mood for a professional looking manicure. I was impressed with the ease of the application and the durability of how the nails held up. I think it is a product worth trying. Comment below and let me know if you have tried these or if you have any questions about the product. Thanks!<br />

Disclosure: I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06543226959563813608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855925954055937286.post-30673324324382213952013-06-04T22:54:00.000-07:002013-06-04T22:54:11.267-07:00Influenster Spring Fever VoxBoxHello Everyone,<br />
I know it has been a while since I have added a post, but don't fret there will be more posts soon. Today, I would like to share with you what I received in my Spring Fever VoxBox from Influenster. I received my voxbox probably a few weeks ago and have been testing out the products they have sent. I hope to have full reviews on each of the products in the future on my blog.<br />
<br />
I will tell you a little bit about the Influenster program. According to Influenster's website (<a href="http://www.influenster.com/">http://www.influenster.com/</a>), Influenster is a free -to-join community of invited trendsetters who live to give opinions of products and experiences. Influenster creates links between brands and members to reward participation and influence future products.<br />
As part of the program, you can receive voxboxes which provide you with most of the time full-size products for you to test out and review with social media sites. To qualify on a box will depend on many variables which can be explained at Influenster's website. I think this is a great program if you like receiving free products to try out and review. I hope you will check it out and see if it is something that you would like to participate in doing.<br />
<br />
The products I received in my Spring Fever VoxBox were: Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant/Deodorant, NYC New York Color Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm in the shade Big Apple Red, Broadway Nails impress Press-on Manicure in the pattern Over the Moon, Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS Dust It (this is a multi-purpose mattifying powder that adds root lift, texture and control), and Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes in the flavor S'mores.<br />

My husband was very thoughtful this year and he gave me a Valentine's Day card each day leading up to Valentine's Day and then he gave me an extra bonus card the day after Valentine's Day. On top of that, he gave me two bouquets of hand-picked flowers from the florist he went to and took me to a wonderful romantic restaurant. We dined at Sidney Street Cafe in St. Louis. What a cute, romantic restaurant, it had the mood lighting as well as a wonderfully, delicious cuisine. It was even more amazing that my husband stopped in at the restaurant a few hours before our reservation where he gave them rose petals and a bouquet of flowers to decorate our table. It looked gorgeous when we sat down, I was very much impressed. He did a terrific job of surprising me this year. Below are some pictures of my fabulous Valentine's Day surprises and fun!<br />

Needless to say, I had an amazing Valentine's Day. I am so thankful for such a thoughtful and loving husband. I couldn't ask for a better person to spend the rest of my life and beyond with. Thanks Brandon for making my Valentine's Day extra special. I love you!<br />
I hope everyone had an amazing Valentine's Day! <br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This
is the third super hero in the series. This is one of Loverboy’s favorite super
heroes. This super hero does not feel like a super hero, but sees him/herself
as something else. This super hero can be moody, but overall is a great person!
You may have seen this super hero in some major motion pictures over the last
couple years. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you guess who it is?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

for the Concourse Dr. sign. At this sign, you will see white concrete path
going towards the worldly structure, start walking on this path. Continue
walking on this path until you reach some straw-like grassy plants. At this
point, turn right onto the grass and walk along the grassy-straw plant line
until it ends. Travel downhill to the pictured tree.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Better have a glass of milk ready when you pop these yummy delights into your mouth. Now let's get baking!<br />
<br />
First, you need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtBCqtH8qv-jA64ieIL9ZpgMNX6Dm3yLji3zQSRkQGD3fs7XafhzFsLEKpFzOrthcBv-84jSPZyB2cUIKuqrM3lzM0q9tWbvvAsem1wFLk6ObslRe9H5NkJdH-SzQXFsCwa0ZRD8Dv1gIF/s1600/choclate+cookies+ingrid.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtBCqtH8qv-jA64ieIL9ZpgMNX6Dm3yLji3zQSRkQGD3fs7XafhzFsLEKpFzOrthcBv-84jSPZyB2cUIKuqrM3lzM0q9tWbvvAsem1wFLk6ObslRe9H5NkJdH-SzQXFsCwa0ZRD8Dv1gIF/s1600/choclate+cookies+ingrid.JPG" /></a></div>
You will need:<br />
<br />
1 box chocolate cake mix<br />
1/3 cup of vegetable/canola oil (I used canola oil)<br />
2 eggs<br />
6 oz chocolate chips (half a bag of chocolate chips) (You can add less or more if you like)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiIi6fhGAjQuHTmdFvQ5IjyDRcPxR0pgMUTvbgM4ZGCdpdPRzt2GtmLRAWbDivCd8fIfjGJRt2kHUHgnQxL5AyUWK1AATtm3V66XvycV23eRbt0KanVL2Awo3WBlO_0mPxNULa4yzuwq0n/s1600/whisk+egg+and+butter.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiIi6fhGAjQuHTmdFvQ5IjyDRcPxR0pgMUTvbgM4ZGCdpdPRzt2GtmLRAWbDivCd8fIfjGJRt2kHUHgnQxL5AyUWK1AATtm3V66XvycV23eRbt0KanVL2Awo3WBlO_0mPxNULa4yzuwq0n/s1600/whisk+egg+and+butter.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Whisk together the eggs and the oil until fully mixed.<br />
<br />

<br />
Add cake mix and chocolate chips. Mix well. You may have to use your hands at some point to mix everything together as it gets really hard to stir with spoon. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Scoop cookie dough into balls using a cookie scoop or a spoon and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Place in your preheated oven of 350 degrees and set the timer for ten minutes.<br />
<br />

<br />
Cookies will be soft and gooey when you take them out of the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes then transfer cookies to a cooling rack for final cooling. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">As promised, here is my review on Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner from Organix. <span style="font-size: small;">This product does not lie, it left my hair feeling very nourished as well as soft and smooth. I experienced the<span style="font-size: small;"> positive effects from<span style="font-size: small;"> this product in about a week after using it. <span style="font-size: small;">No<span style="font-size: small;">t only is this product beneficial for your hair, it also smells really good. It leaves you<span style="font-size: small;">r hair with a light, coconut scent, but while in the shower you feel like you ar<span style="font-size: small;">e on a tropical is<span style="font-size: small;">land. I just love the smell of the product, make shower time fun! I highl<span style="font-size: small;">y recommen<span style="font-size: small;">d this product and I will <span style="font-size: small;">definitely repurchase.

<br />
I know what you are thinking, it's a little too early to be thinking about making valentines, but I figured if anyone is wanting a head start, here is a cute little valentine craft to make. This is a very quick and easy craft. This would be a great craft to do with kids.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_ARCSNz3vbISVRwNQNhqZWZlkr9IrTsmJSVL-PVMRGYu6pBkrPduJRKxyx59t7l-WT1ZWVoUZRIhruYXhKv6AHKpjn7MoyNF3xgj3ktBKqncQQZPiu_L2lGJJPS6Lnt0do66qFmZ8oZE/s1600/photo(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_ARCSNz3vbISVRwNQNhqZWZlkr9IrTsmJSVL-PVMRGYu6pBkrPduJRKxyx59t7l-WT1ZWVoUZRIhruYXhKv6AHKpjn7MoyNF3xgj3ktBKqncQQZPiu_L2lGJJPS6Lnt0do66qFmZ8oZE/s1600/photo(1).JPG" /></a>Supplies needed:<br />
<br />
Small Heart stickers<br />
3 hearts cut from cardstock (I used gray cardstock, but you can use whatever color you prefer.) (I used a heart punch to cut out my hearts)<br />
1 elephant trunk (I used the letter J as my template, but however you want to make your trunk)<br />
Glue (I used Aleene's Tacky Glue)<br />
2 googly eyes<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaWkXOYMAENsaa92e50zWZoMzWyMEwzQAMyxkfW5zautbYd8_E65hyJZOewY2Gi9cpq3xT3g8QQTOjxkRuUmAUC4XBL2KeCAReX39m8uUmISrVODYDUeSXwNnnITWI1T_1nVJAVVedMDLe/s1600/photo(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaWkXOYMAENsaa92e50zWZoMzWyMEwzQAMyxkfW5zautbYd8_E65hyJZOewY2Gi9cpq3xT3g8QQTOjxkRuUmAUC4XBL2KeCAReX39m8uUmISrVODYDUeSXwNnnITWI1T_1nVJAVVedMDLe/s1600/photo(2).JPG" /></a></div>
Step One:<br />
Glue the trunk to the heart so that the heart is on top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT99fMC8LD_frU9RxQnEi50sKeq_vRUGMtNrAFYOuJNHqGluVS6vovALk-GUoPE0fUZs5m2SZxO2oPtT739swA32L-oUTePPZvofH-k2fdRbp0beWJ0zY-w2YDh3jP8NqCfM89P7fdj9Zz/s1600/photo(4).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT99fMC8LD_frU9RxQnEi50sKeq_vRUGMtNrAFYOuJNHqGluVS6vovALk-GUoPE0fUZs5m2SZxO2oPtT739swA32L-oUTePPZvofH-k2fdRbp0beWJ0zY-w2YDh3jP8NqCfM89P7fdj9Zz/s1600/photo(4).JPG" /></a></div>
Step 2:<br />
Glue the other two hearts to the heart with the trunk attached so that your elephant will have ears. After you have glued the pieces together, it is time to attach the stickers. Place a sticker at the end of the trunk as well as a sticker for each of the two ears in the middle of the hearts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkgy2Q6ARXSkgz3IhJeK47qSZBsan449IDS6I_r19s2ImE_sLiOaYpdkqG98G3cArAlSAhyXNDqejiVa-RXlN1iWkYhVLRivknZdKjgW3QM8_e63xkFG7sMGpiWLTJnT6060XRYrok33b/s1600/photo%25285%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkgy2Q6ARXSkgz3IhJeK47qSZBsan449IDS6I_r19s2ImE_sLiOaYpdkqG98G3cArAlSAhyXNDqejiVa-RXlN1iWkYhVLRivknZdKjgW3QM8_e63xkFG7sMGpiWLTJnT6060XRYrok33b/s1600/photo%25285%2529.JPG" /></a></div>
Step 3:<br />
Glue the two googly eyes to the middle heart so that your elephant will have eyes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh57pa61fVMzeL6tpLtDGwBkeaWRRGd34Bb1v5AIYjVffRk56ElQy_MNwh3KuasVZIdMVASYBv_PQrVB0xXOMKziG4UrxZRA9MoOjocyHyk912pFu_xwsFVKKPwPV-UJOyG66NgyKnnmDyw/s1600/photo%25286%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh57pa61fVMzeL6tpLtDGwBkeaWRRGd34Bb1v5AIYjVffRk56ElQy_MNwh3KuasVZIdMVASYBv_PQrVB0xXOMKziG4UrxZRA9MoOjocyHyk912pFu_xwsFVKKPwPV-UJOyG66NgyKnnmDyw/s1600/photo%25286%2529.JPG" /></a></div>
Step 4:<br />
Your elephant is almost done. You can leave your elephant the way she is or you can add a valentine message.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLqO2a2kopaskqpg6tQ858c1QOT0E0WyNG65cRfItNHrJwzsVRhJ9XWadGLP-DZH3s1vuNxiuVwzbyPRCHSkj-58KScYdhFlQH2rFdNZJTCTaQPfD1wXGyx406rFEKZgEsLkBzZAN8s7U/s1600/photo%25287%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLqO2a2kopaskqpg6tQ858c1QOT0E0WyNG65cRfItNHrJwzsVRhJ9XWadGLP-DZH3s1vuNxiuVwzbyPRCHSkj-58KScYdhFlQH2rFdNZJTCTaQPfD1wXGyx406rFEKZgEsLkBzZAN8s7U/s1600/photo%25287%2529.JPG" /></a></div>
I added a "Be Mine" message onto my elephant on her trunk. Embellish however you like!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So today I was looking at my nail polish and I have accumulated quite a collection so I thought it might be fun to share all the different colors and brands I have collected over the years. I guess you could say I'm a nail polish addict/hoarder :)<br />

Above is my collection of Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat. From left to right is: 03 Fractured Foil, 01 Snow Blast, and 08 Ink Splatter. I love the effect these overcoats give your nails, you just have to play around with these to find the best colors that help the crackle effect pop the best with the particular color overcoat. I highly recommend these, they are a lot of fun!<br />

Above is my collection of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme wear Nail Color. From left to right: 240 Twisted Pink, Midnight Sky (sorry no numerical code for this one), Twinkle Twinkle (again no numerical code for this one), 190 Posh Plum, 150 Sun Kissed, 370 Black Out, Deep Blue Sea (no numerical code for this one), Pink-y Ring (no numerical code), 260 Ivy League, and 230 Plum Power. These are my go-to polishes. I absolutely love these because they come in a variety of colors, apply easily, and are cost efficient. I highly recommend this Sally Hansen line of polishes, best bet for your money!<br />

Above is a mini set of the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme wear Nail Color. I received this set as a Christmas gift this year (2012). I am not sure what the names of the colors are as I have already discarded the box that they came in and it doesn't have the name anywhere on the bottles. I think they are really pretty, I just wish they would have put the names on the bottles so if I wanted to repurchase I would know the exact name and color.<br />

Above is a mini set of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color. I received this also as a Christmas gift. Again, I wish I would have saved the box so that I would know what the colors are that came in this set, but unfortunately I did not. I really like this set as the colors are very bold. I can't wait to use them!<br />

Above is my small collection of Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Colors. From left to right: 13 Resolution and 12 Hue. This line of nail polish is advertised as giving nails multi-dimensional color and an iridescent shine. I will agree with the claim. In the light, you can see different colors and a lot of shine. I think that when you apply this line of nail polish to your nails and look at your nails in the sunlight, your nails look absolutely gorgeous! I would like to add more colors to my collection from this line.<br />

Above is my small collection of China Glaze Nail Lacquer with Hardeners. From left to right: 023 White on White and 634 Frostbite. These polishes are a little bit more expensive than Sally Hansen nail polishes, but I feel they are worth the extra money. I feel the ones I have are pretty opaque and only need 1 or 2 coats. I absolutely love these and would like to expand my collection in this brand.<br />

Above is my tiny collection of Bon Bons Nail Polish. I couldn't find any color names on the bottles of these, but the one on the left is a white and the one on the right is a shimmery silver color. I like how these nail polishes are very inexpensive. I believe you can purchase these at Wal-Mart for less than a dollar. They aren't my favorite polishes to use, but if you are low on cash and are needing a quick color then these can come in handy. They are also really good for travel since the bottle is tiny.<br />

Above is the rest of my collection. These are random nail polish brands and lines so I just decided to group them all together. Here are the names and brands of the nail polishes shown in this photo: Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color in Polar Purple, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in 670 Teal Steal, Wet n Wild Fastdry Nail Color in Teal or No Teal, Finger Paints Nail Color in Expressionist Red, OPI Nail Lacquer in Charged up Cherry, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color in 130 Beige Blast, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in 470 Purple Pulse, and L.A. Colors Nail Treatment Basecoat Topcoat. I also have two blueish-green sparkly color nail polishes, but they are not labeled with a brand or color name.<br />
<br />
I hope you have enjoyed learning about my collection and the reviews on certain polishes. I hope to be adding more to the collection in the future! Have a colorful day! <br />

Yesterday, I went to Lush for their only sale of the year: Boxing Day! During their Boxing Day sale, all holiday products are buy one get one free of equal or lesser value. This also includes soap and any other products made before October. I ended up buying two bottles of Twilight shower gel (as you know one of my faves), a bottle of Snow Fairy shower gel, a bottle of Ponche shower gel, and some Imperialis facial moisturizer (no, this wasn't part of the sale items). My Lush lady was also nice enough to give me some samples of Big shampoo and Big conditioner. I can't wait to try them out. I will be posting reviews up on the products I purchased in a few days. I am very satisfied with my haul and can't wait to use them! Have a beautiful day!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I've been wanting to make some peppermint bark this holiday season and decided what better day than Christmas Eve to make it. This is a recipe I found off of the Food Network that I altered, instead of the white chocolate, I decided to use Andes mint baking chips to give it a more minty flavor. I also made a few other changes. I hope you will try it out and let me know what you think! Merry Christmas!</span></h2>
<h2 class="kv-ingred">
Ingredients</h2>
<!--concordance-begin--><ul class="kv-ingred-list1">
<li itemprop="ingredients">Crushed candy canes, to yield 1 cup</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">2 bags of Andes Creme De Menthe Baking Chips, 10 oz</li>
</ul>
<!--concordance-end--><h2>
Directions:</h2>
<div class="fn_instructions" itemprop="recipeInstructions">
Place candy canes in a plastic bag and hammer into 1/4-inch chunks or smaller. Use a strainer to sift out the peppermint dust from hammering the candy canes. Set the bowl of peppermnt dust aside as well as the bowl of the candy cane pieces. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Add peppermint dust to the chocolate mixture and stir thoroughly until completely mixed. Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment or waxed paper. Sprinkle crushed candy cane pieces on the poured chocolate and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces (like peanut brittle.) <br />

Today I went to CVS to pick up some hair conditioner and some nail polish, but knowing my love for all things beauty I decided to purchase some other items as well. I ended up buying Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo and the matching conditioner, Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Snow Blast, Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish in Classic Ivory, and Maybelline Master Drama by Eyestudio cream pencil in Coal Commander. I am planning on doing reviews on each of the products after I have given the products enough time to prove their results. Be on the look out for reviews in the near future.
