Hello, is there anybody out there?

If anyone is still following me, I've been on a 5+ year hiatus....I quick blogging (and a little youtube) to focus on family. In that time I've also had another baby, so that added to the fun ;) I'll be revamping or maybe even starting fresh, posting about numerous topics that appeal to myself (and hopefully you too) such as cooking, beauty, history, books, movies etc. If you follow me on instagram, you'll know what I'm talking about. Hope to chat soon! :)

Swap with Sara from Slovenia!

Back in April I did a swap with the beautiful Sara over at Passing Fancy. I absolutely adore her and her amazing blog! And I love her even more being as how we are both Slovenian girls! ;) tehe
 I have a ton more pictures over on my Instagram for you to check out also. I can't figure out how to get them over here, can't you tell I'm such a techie?! lol

We decided to make it Easter themed, since we did the swap in early April. So, I sent her all my favorite Easter candy including Cadbury mini eggs (I die!), Peeps, Pez, and even a little box of Hello Kitty Jelly Belly's! :) I really wanted my Mac Candy Yum-Yum to go to somebody that would really appreciate her beauty. I knew that she loved bright lippies so I sent it over here way. She also wanted wanted to try the new Revlon laquer balm and Nyx butter gloss too. I also sent her a Sonia Kashuk cream blush, Wet n wild Reserve your Cabbana, some Wet n' wild eyeshadows and some more bits and bobs.

Sara on the other hand totally spoiled me and sent me 2 boxes full of makeup, candy, and bath&body products!! I was so surprised with all the great things she sent me! All I really wanted originally was the Alverde blush in the shade Apricot and the Labello peach lip balm. But to my surprise she sent me an asortment of Alverde, Catrice, and Manhattan! But wait we're not even to the best part yet!! lol
She also surprised me with a Clarins instant light lip perfector and a bar of LUSH soap, both of which I had never tried so I was so excited!! :D
Then she sent me a ton of candy from Slovenia and even included chocolates for my two little boys which was so sweet of her, I felt like I wanted to cry! The best chocolates I might add were the Milka hazelnut filled chocolate eggs (OMG Delicious!) and Gorenjka truffles were amazing! Mmm my mouth is watering just thinking about them.  She also sent a sweet little card and decorated the box so cute with stickers and confetti.



Here is a list of some of the things that I received from Sara:

Balea mango leave-in conditioner
Afrodita cuticle and hand cream
Alverde bath salts
LUSH Bohemian? Soap Bar
Clarins instant light lip perfector - 06 Rosewood shimmer
Alverde Blush in shade 01 Apricot (I adore this blush!)

Zoya Muse and Stassi. I combined them both for a nice turquoise color. I was trying to get the color as close to Zuza as I could, because I don't have that shade. I started with 2 coats of Stassi and went in with 1 coat of Muse over my accent nail.

Sorry I've been MIA lately guys, I have a bunch of stuff I want to show you guys that I've been loving and a couple of reviews that I would like to do also, but I just got a new phone thinking it would work great to take pics and post them on my laptop but I can't figure it out. If anybody knows how to post pictures from your Iphone5s onto a Samsung Google Chrome book please let me know!! :)
