Mini Grocery Insta-Haul

I know a lot of people grocery shop once a week to once every other week. I've tried that and can't make it work for us. I like to make 2 small trips to the grocery store a week. I find that doing it this way will prevent food from going bad and increase our chances of eating at home more often by including a greater variety of foods to our fridge.

This was just a quick late night trip to pick up a few things I was craving that seemed to be missing every time I looked in our cupboards/refrigerator!

Hint water- Water with an unsweetened hint of flavor....SOO good & refreshing
Almond Nut Thins- I love these as a snack with those little laughing cow cheese triangles
Fresh cut fruit- mixed red/green grapes & strawberries/kiwi
Bear Naked granola- one of  the healthiest yummiest granola brands I have found
Luna Bars- by far my most FAV bar
Smart Water- these liter bottles ensure I am drinking plenty of water on the go

Most of the time convenience wins over price. Although the occasional steep price has been known to make me cringe {out loud}, I know that if things are super convenient I WILL eat healthy. And in the end our health is price-less!!!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

The next item that I absolutely LOVED from my Influenster Spring beauty VoxBox were the Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips. I received them in the "Laced Up" #360 design .I have tried a different brand of nail strips in the past that I was not impressed with {required a hair dryer...seriously?}, so I was a little nervous.


Au natural
My first impressions:
           This was going be quick and easy {no hair tools required}
           I can do this ANYWHERE because everything you need is in the box

 

It took my about 15-20 minutes to get all 10 fingers looking snazzy! There were a few hiccups in the beginning but after getting the hang of it (about 3 fingers through) I felt like a pro. I was able to go about my day {cleaning the house} without waiting for my nails to dry!

 All "Laced Up"

They say they are supposed to last up to 10 days. As a nurse, I wash my hands constantly so they will definitely be put to the test. Overall, I am head-over-heels with these little gems! I am not crazy about the design {I am more of a solids girl}, but with over 40 designs available, I am heading to the store now to pick my favorites.

Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist

I recently participated in my first VoxBox program by Influenster. I'm usually so skeptical to try new products without good reviews from friends/family, so I felt like this was the perfect opportunity to find new treasures for myself! I am so excited that I can now be the one to recommend certain goodies with everyone!

One of my favorite products from the VoxBox was this fragrance mist from Bath & Body Works:


This is a fine mist spray that goes on so lightly but leaves a very long lasting scent!! With the weather heating up, I don't want to wear a heavy perfume but other body sprays have a scent that only lasts a few hours, this is the PERFECT in between product. I loved the Paris Amour scent (very girly) but it comes in many different scents, some are even your tried and true Bath & Body Works favorites. Go to their website (http://www.bathandbodyworks.com) to find your favorite!!
