The Best Subscription Box EVER! I am so excited!

I just joined a monthly subscription BEAUTY box! It is {WAY} better than Birch Box and everyone I know that gets this one RAVES about it. You take a quiz about your taste and preferences when you join and then you get products based on that. They say that everything is spot on from this company every month.

You get your products in an adorable make-up bag each month! Here is an example of November's Glam Bag! They send colors that compliment your hair color and eye color even. So awesome!

Here is the best part..... it is only $10 a month!!!!!!!!!!

I plan to review my box every month here on my blog. Want to join me and get an Ipsy box each month? Click here on my link to get your own subscription!

Thankful Thursday Link-Up

I am linking up today to say what I am thankful for! There is better time than right before thanksgiving to share thankfulness, right? I found this link-up through my bloggy friend Jamie @ U Gotta Have Hart.

1. I am thankful for my husband. Though we may argue and have our rough patches, as any couple does, we have been through and come out on top of so much. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know that we are going to get there. He is stepping up and helping with Foster now that I have to work late 3 nights a week which allows me to work this new job that I LOVE.

2. I am ENDLESSLY thankful for my son. He is a miracle and I am still amazed each and ever day that he is here with us. Each time we fail at expanding out family I realize how lucky we are that we had him. I dont know how that embryo stuck with me for 36 weeks but he did and he is the greatest gift of all.

3. I am thankful for my job. I know there are many people without jobs and I now have one that I am really enjoying learning the ins-and-outs of. I love learning and I love making a difference. I feel blessed to really like all of the people that I have met at this new job too!

4. I am thankful for friends. Both friends that I have had for years, friends that are newers and friends that I have met very recently and am getting to know now. I love meeting new people and expanding my friend group. Meeting other moms is so fun!

5. Today especially I am so thankful for a gift that a friend is receiving. I cannot share specifics but a couple that we are friend with is having a life changing experience today, it will undoubtably be a day they will never forget and I just hope that it goes flawlessly for them <3

What are you THANKFUL for?

So What Wednesday {A day late}

• if this post is a day late? I worked two 12 hour shifts the last two days and I was ready for bed at 7:30 last night!
• if laundry is sitting in the dryer waiting to be folded and I have fluffed it like 4 times {4 days in a row}.
• if I am SUCH a mom that I am excited for "Frozen" to come out because I crave new kids movies in this house because I get so sick of the ones we currently have.
• if I am so obsessed with my gel polish nail kit that I redo my nails every week when it is supposed to last multiple weeks, isnt the the point of gel polish haha!
• if I have a playdate tonight and my house is a mess and I still need to clean it before 6pm :P

SO WHAT!

This or That: Fear Factor!

This week is fears so here we go.....

1. Heights or Deep Water
I am definitely going to say that I would prefer deep water. While I dont *love* the idea of either one I am a total chicken about heights. As long as I have a floating device (noodle etc) I am good in the water. I know how to swim so I am not too worried. I do worry about things that live in the deep water but I am going to stop there before I get nervous, lol.

2. Snakes or Spiders
I can say honestly and with every morsel of my being that I would cuddle with a snake before I would go near a spider. I know that it is irrational but spiders might be my #1 fear. They make me scream, creep, crawl, run, hide, cry, act like a toddler, etc.

3. Losing all your teeth or Losing all your hair
I would forgo my teeth because you can replace them with teeth that look better than your real teeth did! Fake hair, not so much! I like my hair so I think I would like to keep it, thanks!

4. No voice or No hearing
That is a REALLY tough one. As a parent I really cannot imagine either. The thought of not being able to tell my son how much I love and treasure him is awful but at the same time I cannot imagine going a single day without hearing his voice. I am obviously partial but the sound of Foster's voice could not be any cuter, I remember daydreaming about what his voice would sound like when he started talking!

5. Eating a bug or Eating intestines
Ummm, seriously?! Neither! But if I HAD to choose I guess a bug? But only if it was like in a candy or totally disguised. You will not see me eating a mouthful of bugs like on survivor or fear factor! No ma'am!

How about you?

I wish I was BRAVE enough to...

Today I am linking up with my bloggy-friend, Jenni, over at Flying on a Rainbow

1. Perform Public Speaking (to large groups). I have so much that I wish to share with groups and that I would like to advocate for but I don't have it in me to get up in front of a large group and speak. Everything inside of me locks up and I just FREAK OUT. I literally panic.

2. Ride roller coaster and rides. I don't like heights and these things scare the crud out of me. I wish that I liked them so that I could go fun places like Cedar Point with friends and actually enjoy it there but alas, I am a wimp.

3. Dance like noone was watching. I love to dance and when I drink I do a LOT of it but truth be told I still, usually, am conscious that people are watching. I think now that I am much more comfortable in my own skin this may not be something that matters to me though.

4. Move far away. My husband has wanted to before (for work) and I was never willing to. I was too afraid to leave the people and things that I knew. I see other people do it and I think it is brave. Although now with my new job I am not going anywhere! =)

5. Sing to Foster. I know you probably think this sounds ridiculous but I don't sing to my little guy because I am just not a good singer (unless there is music on and I am singing along). I don't wanna make him listen to me try and sing acapella, haha!
