piggie swap with Rina!!

These are the cutest handmade items in the blogger community! Have you visited Rae's blogger? It has the cutest stuff! She graciously swapped with me for some Julu Jewelry. I'm honored!

I was so surprised when I saw the big box on my porch! Filled with it were these lovely goodies! The Hello Kitty lunch bag is so cute! We now have matching bags! :) When I opened the bag I couldn't believe how much cute stuff was in it. It was a never-ending surprise of hello kitty treasures! Thank you so much. Masks! candy! makeup! cuteness! You are the best RINA!


Miss piggie checking herself out! omg, I love argyle, piggies, and blue!! My favorite things!! I have to keep an eye on them; they may get stolen by my sister.


Matching bow for me! haha, these will fill my pet void. I always wanted a real pig as a pet. One day...

Turn Pennies into Magazine Subs

You can get InStyle Magazine for $5.00 (1-year) or Marie Claire Magazine for $5.00 (2-years) from Amazon.com!! I'm currently trying to decide between the two. I think I'm gonna go for the Marie Claire since it's two years. This is a limited offer for the Instyle (expires 9/26). They feature one mag a week I think. The Marie Claire offer is through September when they are discounting $5 off certain mags.

Which should I get? What are you going to get?

Turning pennies into Magazine Subs? YES! Just gather all your loose change and head on over to your nearest CoinStar machine! I do this all of the time. You can get a gift certificate to Amazon instead of having to pay the fee on the CoinStar machine. After they count the coins, you get a print out with a redemption code to enter into Amazon. It's so easy and fun! Not all CoinStar machines will do this, and you need to have more than $5 in change. One time I only had $4.89, so I had to leave the machine and run to my car to find more change!!

With all the beauty blogs out there, who really needs magazines anymore, right? Maybe for some, but I still like them! I currently get Elle and Allure.

Mac Custom Palette website feature

Who else loves the MAC website's newest feature?!

Visit THIS LINK to customize your very own palette by dragging and dropping pans into your palette. All of the palette sizes are available in this new feature. It is so cool, try it out!

I used to do this in Photoshop to help me decide on what to get, so glad they've made it much easier!
