New Curtains!

So, I have been a little MIA lately. I apologize. I have had family visiting from outside the country and a few new projects up my sleeve. While we have hit up the beach and visited a few new places, we have also been redecorating. I got these awesome new blackout curtains to review.

  • They are really good! Just look at the difference between the black ones on the left and the new red ones on the right! 


    Now look at the difference in light coming from the same window with half of it open.



    And the color is beautiful! I was a little worried when I ordered the red ones, but it is a deep red instead of a bright red.


    I love the texture of these curtains as well, but my favorite thing about them is that they are thermal insulated. That means that it is not as hot in my home as it has been this entire summer. We did not use a curtain rod here because my bed is right next to it and I want complete darkness. If I put a curtain rod, then light would come in from the sides a bit. Yes, I'm a little OCD about my night time routine! I ordered the Red curtains because I have a painting I won on a cruise a few years ago that we have wanted to put up but did not have anything to match it with. Now There will be a theme! If you need total darkness in a room, or want to keep your house cool, I highly recommend these curtains!

    Future posts: I will be posting about some cruelty free, natural make up!

    Sunsella Buddy Boxes Review


    I think by now you can tell I am obsessed with food containers. I have reviewed so many over the past year and each one has their own personality. While the Sunsella Buddy Box is geared mostly to kids, I find myself using them on a regular basis. Why? Because of the different compartments. It reminds me to add different foods to whatever the main "dish" is. For example, my son one mid morning asked me for an egg sandwich, to which I happily obliged. I placed it in the buddy box after cutting it up, and noticed the two extra compartments empty. This prompted me to go to the fridge and grab some blueberries and raspberries. I thought, "How else can I make this a great brunch?" So I got a silicone cupcake liner and added some homemade hummus, with some baby carrots sliced up, and I also cut up a cheese stick and put it on the side. I was so jealous of his brunch, I made myself a duplicate.


    There is one problem with these trays, and that is that they are not leak proof. So what I do is If I want a salad or something that I know will leak, I place the dressing in a separate container. For example, Aiden had a playdate at the park one day and we brought a cucumber salad along with watermelon, hummus, and pretzels. I brought the dressing in the container from the Salad Cups, and the watermelon in a leak proof bowl. We then had a picnic at the park with some yummy healthy food.

    Fixing My Pinterest Fail




    Oh yea, remember my Pinterest Fail from a couple weeks back? Now I got an easy fix! I got these awesome salad cups to review. It comes with a case of two salad containers, and each comes with a fork and a salad dressing cup. So now if I want to take a salad to the park, it won't be soggy when I am ready to eat it! You can use this for fruit or veggies, or a combination if that is what you like. They are NOT leak proof, but it comes with the little salad dressing container to store separately.
