Heinz BuffaRanch sauce! I have used this sauce on chicken sandwiches, hotdogs, and turkey sandwiches and it tastes GREAT! This sauce is flavorful, but not too spicy or twangy. Highly recommended!

I received this lipstick for my honest review from Influenster. Although the color is not a super rich red, I like the subtle yet noticeable rosiness that it gives my lips. It does a great job keeping them hydrated! I did have to reapply after eating (to be expected) but for the most part, the color lasted. The packaging is super cute and is easy to carry in my purse. Definitely recommend!

"Things Fall Apart," by Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe, explores the aspects of culture, religion, family, and identity through the perspective of Okonkwo - a famed African warrior and leader of the Igbo people. Taking place shortly before the start of the European colonization of West Africa, Achebe captures the joys, terrors, and unexpected changes of life, and presents his own view on the importance of culture and identity. This historical fiction is not only one worth the read, but will leave the reader with an entirely new perspective of what it means to be "brave," versus a "coward."

Dirty Works: Bright Eyes! Brightening Under Eye Masks

My eyes needed some ❤️ after pouring over lessons, and these are doing WONDERS to make my eyes look less puffy in preparation for work tomorrow!

I love how this mask eliminated much of the puffiness (at least 75-85%), and tightened the skin under my eyes. They feel very refreshed (courtesy of the Vitamin C), and I look like I finally received 8 hours of sleep! 😊 Needless to say — I’m adding these to my self-care routine!

I couldn’t find the exact product, so I included similar ones below :)

How are you keeping healthy? One of the ways I’ve been trying to keep my body in shape is by eating more vegetables 🤗 Thankfully, I have a little help 😉
•
You may not be able to see it super clearly, but I dressed this salad with Kraft’s Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette dressing — and it’s GOOD!
•
👉 This dressing has a slight “tang” to it that’s delightful
👉 The garlic taste is not overly pronounced
👉 The consistency of the dressing is light (a little on the runny side)
👉 But the smell and flavor is heavenly

What would you do if you only had 1 month (or less) left to SEE? How would you spend your final days seeing life in color before going completely blind?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BEFORE you answer this question, let's talk about the next step of preparing for a good year ahead --
Educating Y O U R S E L F 👌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take the time to read books, articles, and research things that you don't know much about. Never take knowledge and your sources for it, for granted -- or the fact that life as you know it...can change...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Priscilla Cummings' novel, "Blindsided," Natalie must figure out how to make a new life for herself in a world that will look drastically different than what she knew before. Readers receive a first-hand account of what it can be like for people who lose their sight, and what it takes to survive in a world that has yet to fully learn how to embrace the Blind Community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rating: 5/5
This book is SO good! There are so many twists and turns, and the story is unpredictable! I love the life lessons that are taught in this book -- they are convicting, inspiring, educational, yet realistic. This book is truly motivating, and encourages us all to do more with what we've been given. It will challenge your perspective, while bringing awareness to the little things we often take for granted.

Did you know that Neutrogena makes great Christmas gifts? Let’s start with Bright Boost Overnight Recovery Gel Cream 🤗

👉 The purpose of the cream is to “energize full skin overnight for visibly refreshed, brighter skin.” And it DELIVERS!

Application:
🎀It was very easy to apply to my face and neck
🎀A little goes a long way - you don’t need a lot! It spreads smoothly
🎀 This cream makes the face feel soft immediately after it absorbs (it absorbs quickly)
🎀 The fragrance of the cream is very nice, and lingers for a little while

⚠️For those who have asthma or sinus issues, be advised that although the cream smells good, it is border-line “strong” or “perfumy” and (might) trigger.
⚠️ You WILL notice that the product is still on your face after applying it. The “breathable veil” that Neutrogena claims this cream creates is real — but it won’t smother you. If you’re not use to wearing sleeping masks or night creams, this may feel a little weird at first, but it’s not uncomfortable. My skin was still able to “breathe” underneath 😊

Results: The next day,
1️⃣ My skin felt very soft and smooth
2️⃣ My face was noticeably moisturized
3️⃣ There was very little oil produced overnight (👉 I have oily skin, so I was REALLY happy to see that this cream didn’t cause that to spike 🙌)
4️⃣ My face was glowing!!

Overall, I’m VERY PLEASED with this cream, and am happy to add it to my night regimen. I’ve never felt my face feel so refreshed as it has since using this cream, and appreciate that it keeps my skin from drying out. If you’re looking for a cream to hydrate, renew, & brighten your skin, then look no further!
