WoofTrax

I recently adopted a rescue dog. While I was on the rescue's website I came across a page that listed ways you can contribute to the rescue without spending any money. One of the coolest was an app called WoofTrax. First let me say, it's completely free to download and it's available at both iTunes and Google Play. You sign up, register your dog or dogs, and then when you walk your dog, you just go to the app and follow the prompts to let them know you've started your walk. When you finish your walk, again you just hit the stop button on the app timer. Not only does this app seem to be motivating people to get up and get moving, it also donates money to your selected animal rescue organization. I have to suggest looking up Paws For Life Rescue in Michigan, they brought this amazing dog into my life and I'm so grateful! There are tons of rescues to choose from and honestly, all of them can benefit from donations. There are ads on the app, but they're not annoying nor do they get in the way, and I assume that they are how WoofTrax manages to donate money when the app is free.

Lawyer Fees

Received a bill from my attorney yesterday...
Not only have they run through the $6,500.00 I've put down already but I need to "Please Remit" another $3,000.00! Literally, nothing has happened. We are in the exact some place we were months ago. Apparently, the judge who heard our first settlement conference checked the wrong box somewhere and our court dates were canceled and it's cost thousands of dollars to rectify this mistake? Awesome. Awesome.
So not only did my deadbeat ex leave us with thousands in unpaid bills, and now refused to pay any child support, but it's going to cost upwards of $10,000.00 to get the cheating bastard out of my life. Absolutely fantastic.
I'm trying very hard to stay positive and just look on the bright side, but all the sides are looking fairly bleak at the moment. Especially when he shows up for his visitation with his new girlfriend in tow... Ugh.

GoGo Squeez Fruit & VeggieZ

By now I'm sure just about everyone has seen and/or purchased GoGo Squeez Applesauce. I know it's been a favorite in my house. So when BzzAgent sent me a box of GoGo Squeez Fruit & VeggieZ to try I was pretty excited. My 4 year old is insanely picky. There are very few things she will eat, and trying new foods? Forget about it! Thankfully, she already loves GoGo Squeez Strawberry Applesauce so when I gave her the pouch of GoGo Squeez Fruit & VeggieZ she thought nothing of it. She loves the taste and I love that there are some veggies snuck in there! We personally love the Boulder Berry flavor, which is apple, carrot & mixed berry. It's 100% fruit & veggies, 60 calories per pouch, all natural, gluten, nut & dairy free. We don't have any food tolerance issues, but I know it's a big concern for a lot of parents out there. Lastly, but definitely not least important, these are NON GMO Project verified.
I don't know about you, but I'm not seeing any downside here!

Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty

Right now Ulta is having sales every day on different products. These are not just a few dollars off kind of sales either. They are slashing prices on some pretty high end products, a few different products each day. Tomorrow, for example, the Exuviance Performance Peel will be 1/2 off, taking the price from $75 to just $37.50. I've been waiting for this sale! I received a sample of these pads in a bag from Ulta a little while back and absolutely fell in love. After just 1 use my skin looked better. So I'll definitely be ordering tomorrow!
The other sales I'm particularly excited about: on 3/20 the Clarisonic Mia will be reduced from $99 to $79. On 3/22 Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup is reduced to just $17! On 3/23 the price of SeroVital-hgh is reduced by 30% to $69.03.

Anastasia Beverly Hills

I love makeup. I'm seriously having a love affair with it these days. I picked up the original Anastasia Beverly Hills contour pallet when it came out and loved it, though if I had it to do over, I'd probably build my own pallet with just the 2 colors I use most. Oh well, next time for sure. Then, I heard about the cream counter pallet, only sold at Macys and at the Anastasia site. It was out of stock every time I looked for it, I was getting ready to just pay and extra few $$ on eBay, and then I found it on the Anastasia site! To make that find even better, if you sign up for their email list you can take 10% off your first order. So I added the Brow Wiz I was hoping to try to my cart and ordered both pieces up. I figured my package would arrive later this week since I went with the free shipping rather than the 2 day shipping. To my surprise, the package was in my mailbox today!

So the service was great, the products I have mixed feelings about. The Brow Wiz was amazing. If you're not using this or another of her brow products, you're seriously missing out. It completely changes the way your face looks, in a good way. The cream contour pallet, well I'm not so sure about. I ordered it in the light shade (it comes in light, medium & dark) just like the powder pallet, which I love. The colors that come in the cream pallet are different though. The banana is still there, which is good because it's my favorite, but the darker colors look a little funny to me. Now, it's possible that I just need to play with it a little more to find what works best, so I'm not counting the darker shades out just yet.

Next time I order, I think I'd like to try the Dipbrow Pomade. I've heard good things and if it works as well as the Brow Wiz, then it should be pretty great!

EDIT: So after using the Cream Contour for a little while, I have to say that I am totally in love! Even though it wasn't sold as a product that would improve my overall skin tone, I swear it has! I can't imagine why I would ever give this awesome makeup up. It has some serious staying power, water doesn't seem to effect it at all. I don't use all the colors in the pallet, so I'm hoping that soon I'll be able to buy the individual color refills like I can for the powder kit.
