April Ipsy Glam Bag

Today was another wondrous day of receiving the highly anticipated hot pink envelope in the mail! For those of you not in the know, the hot pink envelope refers to the mailer envelope that Ipsy sends their monthly Glam Bags out in. Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription. For only $10 a month, subscribers will receive 4-5 deluxe sample sized and full sized beauty products and a makeup (aka glam) bag. Not everyone gets the same thing either. When you sign up for Ipsy, you let Ipsy know your preferences of what you would like in your glam bag. It's so personalized!

Once again I couldn't wait so I did peek at the spoilers. I wasn't quite as pumped as last month but it was still a very awesome bag!! Let's take a look at this month's fabulousness!

The Theme: Sideshow ~ This month Ipsy dares you to be different and stand out from the crowd. I believe in being yourself and not trying to be like everyone else. I'm me. I'm different.

My Ipsy bag was filled with goodnes as you can tell. I was most excited about the Lisa Frank Brush!! I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to try new products but not wanting to spend an arm and a leg to do so, or even someone who just enjoys getting some happy mail every month. I would love it if you wanted to go ahead and sign up for Ipsy Here.  

Here's the video for my full unboxing combined with an unboxing from Steeped Tea:

Orange Date Cake Tea

About a week ago I won a giveaway held by Lauren (@lbd_steepedtea on Instagram) for an infuser and a bag of tea. I was over the moon as I had won a sample of tea from her before in the flavor Citrus Mint Sangria, and it was delicious, so I was super excited to get to try another of Steeped Tea's teas. She asked me if there was a particular flavor I wanted to try and I told her to surprise me. She surprised me in the best of ways. She sent me a Fruit Tea called Orange Date Cake. It has dates, cardamon, orange bits, currants and other yumminess in it.

Upon sipping my first cup of tea, which I brewed hot, I certainly noticed the orange. A rush of cinnamon came in after I finished my sip. It was so good! I am now drinking a second cup that I also brewed hot and I added a vanilla creamer to. It is Vanilla Orange creamy goodness!! I want to brew some for an iced tea as well and add some oranges to. That would be so refreshing. Lauren picked a perfect flavor! I am excited to soon order some Apple Mango Sangria tea and there are so many other yummy sounding flavors!! Steeped Tea is a tea addicts dream!!!

Please get in contact with Lauren for more information about Steeped Tea. She can be reached at the above Instagram or on Facebook: Lauren's ParTEA - Happiness one STEEP at a time! She has many clever and yummy ways to use teas such as in dips and cookies. Apparently tea is not just for drinking!!
