Favorite Things Party

 

So excited to link up with Erika and Andrea for their Favorite Things Party! My favorite bodycare store is having a majah sale right now so this post couldn't have come at a better time :)

1. This Hand Lotion!

 

 

 

As previously mentioned, my favorite bodycare store The Body Shop is having a 50% off sale! I bought 3 Vineyard Peach Body Lotions and I am in heaven! They are only $6 each and there are multiple flavors to choose from! CLICK HERE to see them all. The Body Shop also makes the most amazing body butters and the travel sizes are only $6!

 

(2) These are a great price and size because maybe you want to try some out before you take the plunge and spend $20 on a full size butter? I have the Raspberry and I love using it, especially on my feet! CLICK HERE to see the travel size $6 body butters.

 

 

3. Partylite Scents Melts

 

I'm a sucker for a lovely scented home and one of the things I have been using in both our bedroom and bathroom is my scent warmers with melts. All of my melts are only $6 a tray or 5 trays for $18. If I didn't sell Partylite, this would be the one thing I would buy even more than candles themselves. I love leaving my warmer on unattended all day with continuous fragrance. Our Electric Warmers don't ever get hot to the touch and can be left on 24 hours a day and only use about 4 cents of electricity a day. Seriously, I own 4 warmers in total and have over 15 trays of scents.

 

 

This is Autumn Glow, each tray has 9 pieces and each piece lasts over 80 hours! CLICK HERE for all my scents melts! And CLICK HERE to see all of my Warmers! There's also a bunch of cute warmers on sale RIGHT HERE.

 

For scent reference, my favorite scents are:

 

Autumn Glow - a very Fall-ish scent

Holiday Spices - Very Christmas-y

Hocus Pocus - a bright green magical scent

Cinnamon Sparkle

Pumpkin Spice - Similar to Autumn Glow but with more pumpkin

Fig Fatale - My favorite, not too fig-y

Spruce in the Snow - This is what you buy when you want your house to smell like a Christmas Tree but better

Strawberry Rhubarb - Strawberry scented but not overwhelming

 

Can't wait to see all the under $10 gems you ladies are posting!

Weekend of 10/10/14-10/12/14

 

This weekend was a relaxing one! I definitely needed one of those since the weekend before last I was a hot mess. Saturday I went to my new consultant orientation and learned a lot about being a consultant. I also submitted my first order and made some money! After the orientation I stopped by Ike's to get Tony and I some yummy sandwiches! We relaxed the rest of the day Saturday. Sunday I was home from my Momma's early to watch the Niners beat the Chiefs.. it was glorious!

 

 

Weekend of 10/17/14-10/19/14

 

This past weekend was a super fun one. I can blog more in detail about this awesome weekend because I actually REMEMBER what happened!

 

Friday I went to the mall after work to pick up a few things. The Body Shop was having a sale and I picked up some lotions and a couple of hand creams. I also hit up Forever 21 for a couple of cute finds. While I was in Forever 21 I got a text from my Husband "Hey my beautiful wife, I'm taking you out to dinner today, anywhere of your choice." I mean how you have a bad weekend after getting THAT text from your man?! We went to Hikuni's for a Hibachi grill dinner and it was just okay. Afterwards, we went back to Windsor to get ice cream and my Cappuccino blast... Yum. The rest of the night was spent watching Netflix.

 

Saturday

Saturday Tony drove me to hang out with my best friend who would turn 21 at midnight. After dropping me off he left to pick up Anthony for his little league game. I had my bestie drop me off at my Mom's house and I waited for Tony and Anthony to come home. They arrived with ice cream and I told Anthony that my husband's babysitting skills don't come free and he owed his Tia Melissa lots of kissies.

 

My bro had a birthday celebration at my Mom's house and it was fun! His friend catered it and there was a ton of yummy food along with lots of friends and family.

Later on in the night we ended up going to the casino with my bestie at midnight and having a couple drinks... Tony and I didn't get home until 3AM! I can't hang like I used to because I couldn't fully recover until Monday night!

 

Sunday

 

Sunday I flew solo and went to a candle hall show with a coworker, candles are truly a ton of fun and I love all the Partylite product I receive. After the show I went to my Momma's house to hang out and watch the game. I left home a little early because I hadn't seen Tony since the morning. We went to sleep early.

 

Today is barely Wednesday and I feel like this week has been crazy, stressful, on the go and busy busy busy! I still have to go home and organize my candles as well as finish laundry. I also want to make something different for dinner... Recipe will be up tomorrow!
