Thanks to Influesnter I got to try Pantene Pro-V Airspray for free.  I am absolutely in love with this hairspray.  Prior to receving this Pantene Airspray, I had always used Rave hairspray because it's cheap (the only exception being a few other hairspray samples I've tried). I first tried the Pantene Airspray when I straightened my hair (my hair naturally wavy).  I straightened my hair and then sprayed my hairbrush with the Pantene Airspray and brushed it in.  This helped to smooth frizz, it also managed to help my hair hold up to humidity much better as well so my hair remained straight much better then it usually would. The next time I used the Airspray, I used it when I curled my hair.  Now since my hair does have some natural wave to it it usually holds curl decently but will sometimes fall flat after awhile.  My technique for using it with curls was to just spray directly onto my hair and tousle it in for a bit fuller look (I still need to try it ...

I just stumbled upon some great apps to make some extra money or to reinvest into new items.  My recent obsessions of bras and cowboy boots had me looking for places to buy some of those things for reasonable prices and to sell things I'm no longer wearing or using. I downloaded quite a few to check out but here are my favorites at this point in time. Poshmark  Sign up using code JRRPA to get $10 towards your first purchase, I've also seen them offer discounted shipping along with this offer. This is definitely more fashion oriented although I have seen a few other things including some electronics.  If you sell on Poshmark, they do take a percentage of the the sale price I believe it is 20%, and if you are buying you might want to try to find a seller with a few items you would like to buy so you can get more for you shipping cost which is a standard fee of $5.95, I wish there were other shipping options like Mercari has.  I can ship a bra a a tshirt for about...

I received this dress for free to review. I really wasn't sure what to expect, but when it arrived I tried it on. The fit is perfect, it hugs curves perfectly, and I'm sure this would be true for anyone because of the fabric. I initially wasn't sure of the print from the photo I saw online, but it looks much better on and in person than it does online. I would recommend this dress for anyone looking for a nice simple dress to go out it. It would be perfect for a girls night out. I will add some photos soon. In the meantime here is the link for Amazon where you can see this dress as well as others from the seller. https://www.tomoson.com/promotions/view/women-s-super-sexy-classic-little-dress-review Sponsored Post Review for Tomoson

I received the Dead Sea Mud Mask from InstaNatural to review. I love most of the other InstaNatural products I have tried so I was excited about getting to test out another. This one took awhile for me to get around to trying though since it involves sitting around with the mud on your face for 10 minutes. I finally got around to trying it. I opened it up, first impressions were not so good, it's not pleasant looking and pretty much looks like mud. I work up the nerve to put it on my face, and then proceed to wait for it to dry. I'm really not a fan of products that require waiting. Time's up time to remove the mud. I remove the mask and don't really feel as if I see any results. I kind of felt like I sat around with mud hardening on my face for no reason. Like I said at the beginning, I love other products from InstaNatural, but not so sure on the mud mask. I will probably give it another shot and see if I feel differently. Checkout this and other produ...

I've recently started taking couponing fairly seriously. While on a quest to learn more about couponing, I discovered that there are some very useful apps out there that you can earn money from. Some of these apps require buying certain products and receiving rebates, others just require you to snap a picture of your receipts, and some are super easy you just walk into a store and get points. I've been using several of these types of apps for awhile now wanted to give a bit of a run down on them. Many of these apps also give you bonuses for referring friends and it can be quite easy to make money just by referring friends. The first shopping app I ever downloaded aside from store coupon apps (which are great resources check out the Kroger and Wal-Mart apps if you haven't already), was Shopkick . Shopkick is super easy to use and earn points aka "Kicks" from and you can redeem the points for a variety of gift cards. I had always primarily focused on earning...

I love pasta as much as anyone else, and since pasta noodles are so affordable, I always try to come of with unique ways of cooking them and using them in other recipes. The great thing about Barilla Collezione, is that they come in very unique shapes that add some extra interest to your meal. These noodles take your pasta dinner from basic to extraordinary just by using them. The amount of attention the meals I've made with Barilla Collezione is amazing. Besides making a great presentation, they cook really well and taste great. Everyone I've had over for dinner when making Barilla Collezione has been very impressed by flavor, texture, and visual appeal. I tend to get very creative with my pasta dinners, and these noodles are great for getting creative with. I tend to take leftovers and put them in with pasta espcially when there isn't a lot left, you can easily take leftovers for 2 and turn it into a new dinner for 4. I did this one evening with some leftover Me...

I've used eyelash curlers in the past, but never used them very regularly. I always had problems with them pinching, and just never cared for them. I was offered the chance to reveiw Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler for free from Tomoson, and decided to accept the chance to review it. It had probably been years since I used an eyelash curler and I felt it was time to give it another try especially since Lovely Lashes says it doesn't pinch. The day came when it arrived in my mailbox, any day I get one of my freebies to try it's always an exciting day. However I had already put mascara on for the day so I had to wait until the next day to try it out. The next morning came and before applying my mascara, I gave the Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler a try. To my surprise there was no pinching even when getting the base of my lashes. It also did an amazing job curling! Since it had been so long since I had curled my lashes, I was very pleased with the results. Even if you d...
