JAVABOI Mini Haul


I am a HUGE coffee drinker, no matter what I have a few cups a day and could have a million cups a day but I can't carry my coffee machine with me so I am stuck with just a few a day.
I am pretty casual...could you tell? lol so these shirts caught my eye.(and not because they aren't fancy but just because I like t-shirt shirts the best!) I had came across a company when I first started using Twitter,maybe like 8 months ago? Not really sure but it is called Javaboi Industries owner and creator is Eric, we had just randomly talked once in a while on twitter and I had checkout his web site as well as his Blog & YouTube and holy crap he is really funny! He really has personality and seems like his company will continue to grow and become very successful.
I have seen Kandee Johnson wearing these shirts and even did a photo shoot with Javaboi, How fun would that be?
Anyways long story short I finally decided I would purchase a couple shirts, they are really cute and the customer service is outstanding!So why the heck not?
Here's what I got =D

 I LOVE the packaging, it's really cute and very coffee like =)

I purchased 2 shirts, "Pink Hotness" & "Coffee N Pink"

Pink and Black are my favorite colors together, surprise surprise hey? So when I saw this I had to have it! It's really cute and I love the font on it!

I love little details on things and these shirts definitely have that done really well. The tag even has a logo on it! on the back of the shirt it has a little Javaboi patch, very cute!

I absolutely love the print on this shirt as well! This is brown and pink which also is really nice colors together and I don't really have a brown shirt that I like so this was a good pick.

There is the same nice details on this shirt as well. I think this makes the brand just a little bit more with the extra little things to it.

 There was also 2 little Javaboi pins included, where should I put these?

The shirts feel like a good quality.The fit is nice, I am glad I got a medium and not small though or I wouldn't be able to fit in it! How freakin small are these people who fit the small anyways?!Maybe I am bigger then I thought or something?

I tried to take a picture of me in the shirt but honestly me and camera's hate each other and every shot is a homely bag lady shot!

Would it kill me to smile? lol I just don't take nice pictures EVER! and please excuse the mess in the background!

Have you had a chance to check out the site or purchase anything from Javaboi Industries before?

Blink 182

Mail Time!!

1:00 AM

MAIL!!!!!!!! My favorite posts from everyone, even though mine isn't as exciting as some it was still a really good mail month!
This is over a span of about a week and a half or 2 weeks since I don't get that much mail.(well other then bills of course =( and nobody likes those! )

My JAVABOI Shirts have arrived! Eric (Owner/Creator) twisted my arm and I finally got a couple ;) I am a massive coffee fan and these are really cute so it was worth it! I am currently working on the full post of the shirts but I just thought I would show the really cute packaging! Love it =)





My Blink 182 pre sale package FINALLY made it to my house!! I honestly felt like it wasn't going to show up since it was very difficult to get this since they don't ship to Canada... I will do a post on this too just in case any Blink fans wanna hear the story =D


Peta's cruelty free shopping guide,Chatelaine November issue,sample of Pantene Color care,Sample of Always infinity & sample of Cascade all in one dishwasher detergent.
I am very inspired by reading a few other blogs with the cruelty free products on their blog so I am still trying to slowly switch over, it will take me some time since I am unsure of how I will replace all my evil products with good ones, but I am trying!


I seriously do not remember where I signed up to receive this sample from? But it was pretty cool because the finishing creme is fairly big and will last quite a while.
Samples of:
*Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Shampoo
*Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Conditioner
* Root Awakening Strengthening Restoring Smoothing Lotion
*Frizz Ease Creme Serum Overnight Repair
* Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Finishing Creme

What was the last thing you received in the mail other then bills?

Luxe Box September

6:00 AM


WOW I JUST got my Luxe box, September 27th, now I had to be one of the last people to receive it! I don't quite know what was going on with Canada Post but I had received 3 other packages in between when other people were getting their Luxe Box and when I actually got it so it didn't quite make sense to me... but on with what this month brought =)

This month the full prices on here are really expensive!!! I find it really fun to test out all these expensive items!

 MOROCCAN OIL | The Original Oil Treatment- $42.00 100 ML
This product is specifically designed for hair that has been damaged by chemical processing and stripped of it's natural moisture and elasticity. Repair luster to sun-ravaged hair with this nutrient rich treatment. The results are instant and outstanding and will leave hair hydrated with a lightweight,silky texture.

I was soooo pleased to receive this! I have always wanted to try it but the price is honestly too high for me, this bottle will last a ridiculously long time =D

SECHE VITE | Top Coat - $35 5ML
Widely acknowledged as the world's finest top coat, Seche Vite is specially formulated to penetrate through nail lacquer to the base coat forming a single solid coating over the nail plate for a much more durable finish. Guaranteed not to yellow while leaving nails silky,stronger and resistant to chipping and peeling.

This sounds fairly nice, I do not currently own a really nice top coat so this is nice.

LAURA MERCIER | Perfecting Water-Rich. $38 200ML
Also known as perfecting water moisture mist, this hydrating fluid temporarily over hydrates skin allowing a deeper penetration of ingredients, moisturizers and serums in further treatments. Contains deep sea water,and ingredient that enhances metabolic reaction within the skin and helps cell renewal. Keep your skin looking soft and supple all day.

This sounds lovely, but how do I spritz it on my face when the container is like this? There is a little hole at the top, so I guess you dab on cotton pad and wipe on face?  

 MEREADESSO | Face + Neck Toning Gel -$120 50 ML
This face + neck toning gel is like dipping your skin in nourishing supplements. With 16 bontanical extracts,7 minerals, a complex of vitamins and enzymes and over 20 different antioxidants, your skin is going to love you for it! Experience a cooling and tightening sensation with a slight twist of citrus.

I was also excited to try this, $120! Wow that is a hefty price tag. I have used this two times so far and my skin actually feels really nice!

Overall, I know there is a lot of up and downs with the whole mystery box, I did enjoy two of the items. This was not my favorite month to be honest. I would REALLY like to see a mascara in one of my Luxe Boxes!

Have you tried any of these? Did you receive a September Luxe box or something similar?

Mail

Sproos Chic and Cute Hair Accessories

6:00 AM

There is something about blogging that seems to be making me lucky lately!!
I was so shocked when I got an email from the lovely Saaammage - I absolutely love all of her videos!! Stating that I had won the Sproos headband giveaway  on her Blog! I couldn't believe it =D 
I had entered thinking hey these are nice headbands and that was pretty much it but I had won! I was so shocked =D

My packaged came within a week and here is what I got!

 I really like when the package is small enough to fit in my mail box so I get it the day it arrives instead of having to go to the post office the next day =/

 
Cute post card with nice pink tissue paper
When I was deciding what headband I liked the most I decided to pick something different that I couldn't just buy from around here. So I picked out the "Forget me Knot Headband
I absolutely LOVE the color & Style.
Adorn your perfect lil’ head with this bold yet elegant statement. Pull your hair back in style!

- Covered by Jacquard Satin Charmuse
- 2 inches wide
- Imported


 The material is such nice quality!
This headband as well is sooo comfortable, I was wondering if it would be since it is so wide but once it's on you hardly notice it.Some of the prices are a little bit high but I would recommend this product if you are looking for a high quality headband!


What is your favorite headband from Sproos?

I hope every ones having a good summer, and not melting away!

Luxe Box

Luxe Box May 2011

7:10 PM

YAY FINALLY MY LUXE BOX IS HERE!!!!I feel like I am one of the last people in Canada to receive this! Okay maybe I am exaggerating but it felt so long! I had to stay clear of twitter tweets of others who had received theirs as I wanted to be a surprise, so if you have got yours yet or aren't interested

in products then go to the next post ;)





The Package is great because it is small enough to be dropped in your mail box! No having to go to the post office and wait in line. I was very happy to come home after my LONG not so great Tuesday. And mail 2 days in a row..that is a first for me!
Chicken was also excited again....



I love the simple but pretty packaging! They have changed their logo, what do you think?
The ribbon is really cute, my cats will enjoy that later =/

HERE IT IS!



I signed up for 3 months,just because I knew I would want to try more then 1 month but wasn't sure if I wanted to splurge for the full year so I went with one. Since I signed up for 3 months they gave me a full size China Glaze this month! Here is what else I got...


* DERMALOGICA | Daily Microfoliant
* CHINA GLAZE | Little Drummer Boy 
*CONSONANT BODY | Organic Olive Oil Body Soap
*ELIZABETH GRANT | Biocollasis Complex Day Serum

I am quite pleased with this month,I am pretty easy going so I probably would be happy with anything but I really like skin care products and am excited to try these out. I absolutely LOVE the nail polish color, totally a color I would purchase. I would have liked to see maybe a mascara or perfume or a lip gloss sample maybe instead of the body soap just because I haven't used a bar of soap since I was a kid, but hey maybe it will be good? And IF not there is always next month! =)

On a side note I wanted to say how wonderful the staff was at the company to deal with, I haven't had a ton of experience with needing to contact a company for many things but they make a point to answering any email/tweet or any info I have ever questioned from them so that is really a nice bonus!

Did you try out Loose Button's Luxe Box yet? What did you think of my May samples?
