Graze Box #001

I have been so eager to try Graze Box for such a long time and we finally jumped on the bandwagon! If you aren't familiar with Graze, let me explain it a little to you. Graze is a subscription box that sends you a personalized box of healthy and delicious snacks every two weeks. They have a variety of different boxes and snacks to match whatever taste you have! After you order your first box, you can go to their site and look through over 100 different snack options and pick which ones you will like, love, be willing to try, or want to trash. A 4-snack box like this is only $7 and the prices go up as you order bigger boxes, but they are all quite reasonable and I feel it's definitely worth the money!

This first box was kind of a wild card. We had no idea what was going to be in it and really didn't know what we were in for. This one is the 4-snack box, we have currently an 8-snack box on the way which I'm very excited to try!

The two snacks I noticed immediately was the Dark Rocky Road and the Pizza Margherita, they looked so good! And they didn't disappoint at all! Dark Rock Road was a great chocolate snack without it being too sweet, and the Pizza Margherita actually tasted like pizza! it was my favorite. I also loved the Lightly Toasted Pistachios, but they weren't too exciting. I really didn't enjoy the Lemon Almond Cookie Dippers and Blueberry Compote however. But that's only because I really hate lemon and blueberry flavors, any other two flavors and I probably would have loved it!

I'm really glad that I finally got to try Graze and I really look forward to testing out future boxes. Would this be something you all would be interested in hearing about two times a month? I want to incorporate more food into my blog but recipes and cooking won't happen for another few months.

Have you tried Graze Box? 

Empties #001 : Hair Products

Welcome to my first ever empties post! This was actually something that was very weird for me to shoot..I felt so odd taking photos of things that I would typically throw away, but I do enjoy empties videos and posts because, since the person has used the whole product, they can usually make an educated decision on whether the product is worth it and if they would purchase again. So, lets dive in.

Mane 'n Tail Shampoo and Conditioner - This might be a bit odd for some of you if you have never heard of this brand, but yes, this is a shampoo and conditioner that can be used for horses AND humans! It's said that if you use this product it will help your hair grow a bit faster than it normally would, my hair grows pretty quickly as it is so I don't really notice much of a difference. However, I do really like these products because they feel like they're quite gentle! I might buy it once in awhile but it's not anything that I could rave about!

Salon Selectives 3 Minute Hair Therapy - I had never tried this brand and I didn't use this conditioner solely for a deep repair mask. I actually used it to mix and dilute some hair dye when I was playing around with a lot of color. Since I leave dye in my hair for around 3 hours I felt like I might as well do a deep repair mask while the dye is soaking in! It was nice and did make my hair soft. It was super cheap so I would probably repurchase if I was out and about and ran into it.

Aussie Aussome Volume - I featured this in a Current Favorites post last year and I said I really enjoyed it, which was true for the time being! However, the more I used it, the more I realized it was really terrible at keeping my hair in tact with humidity and other factors. It was best to keep my bangs in place but now that I've let my front bangs grow out, I really have no use for it anymore. I'm still looking for my perfect hairspray, so if any of you have recommendations, let me know!

SoftSheen-Carson Keratin Sealing Leave-in Conditioner - This product instantly caught my attention when I saw my mom using it. It was mostly the smell that I fell in love with. It smells like sandalwood, which I love! I asked her what she was using and I knew I had to have it! I really loved spraying it through my hair when it was damp, it would make my hair smell good and also help reduce tangles. I would definitely repurchase this!

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser - I don't really have much to say about this product. It's just an average conditioner that you can get at any supermarket! It smells great, but I don't notice any "damage erasing" regardless, would I purchase again? Maybe. When I'm looking for shampoo/conditioner at a store I usually just pick whatever jumps out. So, nothing special about this certain conditioner but nothing bad about it either!

Clairol Hair Food Mask - This hair mask was sent to me by Influenster. I talked about it in my  Hair Food Moisture Mask review. I actually really loved this product! I thought it smelled delicious and worked great! I would leave it in after washing my hair for 30 minutes to an hour and then wash it out, my hair would always smell so good and feel very soft! I'm pretty sure you can purchase this brand at Target, I haven't tried the other products but I'm pretty eager to!

Manic Panic Enchanted Forest - I had this bottle of dying lying around for awhile. There was a time where I had about 5 or 6 bottles of dye that were full or slightly used that were just going to waste. So after I lightened my hair I thought I would have a little fun! This Enchanted Forest was the first green dye I had ever used. The only reason I gravitated towards using it was because I had used up the rest of my colors and they had all faded out. I didn't think I'd like it but I ended up falling in love! It was so incredibly pigmented and it looked so cool! I never thought I would have green hair and actually like it and a huge plus, it lasted longer than ANY of my other dyes! After 14 washes it was still very vivid! I am definitely going to repurchase this and more manic panic dyes!

Splat Lusty Lavender - I adore purple hair, so when I saw this at Walmart I picked it up on a complete whim. This dye was very messy, and very dark. Once I applied and eventually washed it out it gave a very dark and pigmented purple color. It was a little darker than I wanted but I knew it would fade into a lighter color, I just didn't know it would fade as fast as it did. This dye faded so drastically I don't see the point in having it...unless you only wash your hair once a week, then maybe you'd like it. I just don't want to spend money on a dye that fades and is splotchy after 1-2 washes. Maybe I had too high expectations but I don't think I'll buy splat again. ( I also tried the pink and had the same result.)

I hope you enjoyed reading about my used up hair products! I enjoyed making this post more than I realized I would. Maybe I will do more in the future! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Have you used any of these products? 

Birthday Wishlist

]

1. Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami - I have been interested in reading this book for quite awhile now.

2. & 3. Borderlands/Borderlands 2 - Surprisingly, I have never played any of the Borderlands games! I've always been interested in trying them out and adding them to my collection.

4. Too Faced Natural Matte Eye Palette -  It's not that I necessarily need this palette, I just think it'd be a nice addition to my neutral shadow collection.

5. Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette - I am a huge fan of the Anastasia contour kit...but I've heard this one is even better! I'm always looking for something that will step up my contour and highlight game a little more, so this is definitely high on my wishlist.

6. Canon G7x - This is definitely a huge splurge item. I have been wanting a good camera that is lighter so I can carry it wherever I go. Plus, I've been wanting to start a Youtube channel, and unfortunately, the camera I currently use doesn't support videos. I feel like this camera is not only practical, but great quality!

7. My Neighbor Totoro - I own most of the Studio Ghibli movies, but for some odd reason, I don't own one of the staple movies that everyone always links to Ghibli! This is a wonderful movie and I'd really like to add it to my movie collection!

8. Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar - I've been after this palette since it released! The original Chocolate Bar Palette is one of my all time favorites, so I'm sure this one won't disappoint!

9. Silent Hill HD Collection - Silent Hill is my favorite gaming series of all time. After I recently got rid of my Xbox, I've had to switch all of my games over to PS3. Unfortunately, I haven't added these back into my video game collection, but hopefully I will have them back soon!

10. Tartlette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette - I have never tried any of Tarte's shadows, but a beautiful palette filled with gorgeous, matte, neutral shades? Count me in!

11. #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso - I've heard everyone talk about this book and I'm sure you have too! It just seems like such an interesting read, plus I really love the site Nasty Gal!

12. Big Hero 6 -  Of course, I had to add my current favorite movie to my list. This was a movie that made me laugh and also brought me to tears. It's such a wonderful film and I could watch it over and over again. I definitely need to own this!



Since it is now June and my birthday is quickly approaching, I thought I would throw together a little wishlist, since you all seemed to like it last year when I made one and I enjoy making them!

Let me know if you have any of the things I mentioned, or if any of these things are on your own wishlist!

Sugar Pop | Beauty Review

Let me start off by saying that Too Faced is one of my favorite beauty brands. The quality of their products are always wonderful. Often times their palettes are cheaper than other brands as well! And we can't deny, they always have the cutest packaging. From making their products smell like chocolate to offering beautifully blendable eye shadows, this brand has done no wrong in my eyes.

If I'm being honest, when I first saw photos of this palette, I mainly wanted it because of the packaging. But can you blame me? How cute are all of these fun, multicolored macaroons? After doing some research and reading some reviews I knew it was something that I really wanted to add to my collection. You can imagine how excited I was when this palette popped up in my mailbox!

The palette has beautiful packaging and it's also quite structured and stable. Even though it does have a magnetized closing, I still am a bit wary to just throw this into a bag. If you're traveling with it I'd make sure you tuck it into a makeup bag so it won't open up!

The shadows are separated into different categories going across each row.

The top row; Sweet & Spicy - Rock Candy, Macaron, Malted Milk Ball
The middle row; Sugar Plums - Strawberry Ice, Sugared Violet, Blackberry
The bottom row; Candy Coated - Peach Fuzz, Bubblegum, Blue Raspberry

They included 3 highlight shades, 3-4 lovely pops of color and two shades that can be described as a bit more neutral. I love bright colors, but I am still a bit nervous when it comes to applying them. But after testing this palette out, I discovered that one of my favorite shades is the beautiful Blue Raspberry! I think it adds the perfect touch of color when you run it under your bottom lash line after completing your eye look.

Two shades I'm not too fond of are Rock Candy and Peach Fuzz. My only problem is they are extremely similar. They do have some slight differences but I don't think they should have added both colors into one palette, however I am super pleased with everything else!

If you're interested in this palette but haven't picked it up yet, click here! I believe it's limited edition for Spring, so get your hands on it while you can!

Big Hero 6 | Movie Review

(There are no real spoilers in this post!)

A couple months ago I finally got around to watching Big Hero 6. I had heard SO much hype over how wonderful of a movie it was so I did have high hopes. I wasn't 100% sure of the story before going into the movie. All I knew was that there was a white, puffy robot named Baymax who everyone seemed to love...a LOT.

The story is about a robot named Baymax that was created by Tadashi Hamada to serve as a personal healthcare assistant. After a horrendous accident, Baymax teams up with Tadashi's younger brother, Hiro and his friends, as they journey to become hero's to protect San Fransokyo.

Within the first 30 minutes I was already completely emotionally invested. You instantly start caring about the characters and once Baymax is introduced, you just can't get enough! This movie is sad at times and I will admit, I definitely cried a LOT when I saw it, but don't let this turn you off! This movie has the perfect balance of emotions. You'll be sad for a minute, but then something good or funny will happen that will make you almost forget why you were so upset.

This movie is so great for all ages. I have always been a huge fan of Disney and I definitely think this is one of my favorite movies I have ever seen! I really wish it was as popular as Frozen became, because I feel like this is so much more emotional and funny. 

If you haven't checked out this movie yet for some reason, PLEASE watch it. You won't regret it! Whether you like cartoons or not, I feel like this movie will cause anyone to smile.

By the end I'm certain you'll be wanting your own personal Baymax as well! I know I did.

If you saw this movie, what did you think about it? Did you love it as much as I did?

Also, I just want to mention I'm SO sorry for not blogging for 2 weeks. I have a lot in the works. I hope you all enjoyed this post! I have a whole blog dedicated to horror movies/video games called Horror Teeth, if you are interested in stuff like that as well!

Feel free to leave any recommendations of movies or books that you think I'd like/want me to review down below!
