Sneak Peek at Ipsy bag for July!

SPOILER ALERT!

Just a little collage with the hints that were left in the FB Ipsy page! Enjoy, cause I sure as hell am excited!

Manic Tuesday

While I would have loved to update you on my weekend on a Monday, yeah. I don't see that happening. It was too manic for a Monday to be posting lol.
This past week was 4th of July "weekend". I'm pretty sure a lot of you out there were able to take a nice weekend to just chill and watch fireworks.
This year our firework watching was more from the car rather than just sitting out on a lawn and watch them. <.< Long story short, we ended up seeing the whole firework show on the ride over because by the time we got there, it was already over. -.- It was a little sad since JD was super excited to watch them but it was still nice to see him get a smile out of watching them from his seat. E could care less since she was sleeping, lol. (I promise she is like me, she is not easily disturbed by loud noises, lucky me, right?)

Saturday, we were invited to their cousin's pool party since his birthday landed on a weekday (the 4th). The kids had a lot of fun. I called them my little mer-people since it was impossible to remove them from the water after all.

Also, that Saturday was the first of the month, so a trip to Home Depot was definite. But this time, Daddy came along and I don't know who was more into the workshop...I give you exhibit A and B:

I love seeing them bond :D

Proud JD

I did Crossfit in the morning. My husband says I'm broken. (lol) I don't feel energized, if anything I feel sicker than the first time I did CF. D: But it was a good workout anyway...

How's your Tuesday?

bluum June 2013 review "Tiny Chompers" (6 month old)

I have to say, this month's box was not my favorite. This is the second time I get the box and they already charged me for box #3. Lol Before I even got this one! So they should get a better shipping system and/or a better tracking system. <.< Seriously.
On to the review! (I had more than enough time to tinker and look at all the lovely stuff in this month's box)

There's an info card about this month's theme and a coupon card with an expired coupon. D: But, I emailed this company and they responded quite promptly and gave me a new coupon code to use before August. Points!

Priddy Books Baby Shaker Teethers ($6.00):

E loved this! There is something about colors that can drive a baby crazy...But it is a very high contrast book and perfect for her little hands. This is an essential tummy time toy for E now since it'll keep her entertained for a little while longer than usual.

Weleda Diaper Cream ($13.50):

I can never have too many diaper cream tubes. Seriously. E has never had a serious diaper rash. I am very crazy about keeping her bottom clean and dry. Full sized! Yes! I don't think I'd ever pay $13 for a tube of diaper rash cream though... (only a big tub which I already have, thank you)

Dreambaby Bath Thermometer ($6.00):

This is pretty useful, although I seriously have never really found the need to use it. I use the top-of-my-hand method which has not failed me as of yet. I might give it to my cousin who's having a baby soon, maybe she might have better use for it!

Family Bedrock Silicone Teething Bracelet ($13.00):

I really wished they would've given me the necklace rather than the bracelet. Bracelets are not my style. But this does exactly what I need, which is keeping E entertained in my arms and not go for the million of sheets of paper on my desk. Maybe the 20% coupon will be good use for the necklace? Or should I just make my own silicone necklace?

Banz Kids Pink ($15.00):

This was probably the ONE item I really disliked from my box this month. I live in sunny (and moody weather) Florida, I probably should really get E and JD in the habit of wearing sunglasses since I almost walk out blinded from my house every morning. Maybe it's the design? I don't know. But regardless whether I liked or disliked, it is still useful and it reminded me to keep watch of my kids vision. Thanks bluum?

Boiron Camilia Teething Relief ($7.99):

I have a love/hate thing when it comes to homeopathic medicine. It's natural, got it. That's great instead of sticking a bunch of medication with names I cannot pronounce into my baby. But, don't judge me if I refuse to use it. I don't want to. My mom used whatever medicine the doctor gave me and I turned out fine. Plus I read somewhere that not all homeopathic medicine is created equal. So moms, be careful too!

Brain Rules for Baby by Dr. John Medina ($15.00):

A book to add to the collection of books I need to finish reading, lol. But I flipped through it out of curiosity and I find it interesting. Some good pointers here and there but nothing I didn't already know. (Psychology is very useful with children by the by, lol.)

All this has a total value of $76.49. Not bad Mom. For $24.95 with free shipping, I can't complain. I just hope that they really do fix that shipping system they have because it's insane to be getting a June box in July. D:
