Got2B Review!

Heres the BZZ!

Smoothing Lustre Lotion

• This product line has been recently reformulated with and indulgent cashmere infusion!
• Protects against heat damage from our favorite heat styling tools and contains a UV protectant
• Perfected for use on all air types, wet or dry
• Features a luxurious fragrance!

I absolutely LOVED the lotion. It smells SO good! and it actually worked. My hair got super smooth and soft. I liked it so much I went and got the whole line!

The Hairspray is awesome. Its light and wont weigh the hair down. I have yet to find a spray that will tame frizzys yet keep the hair smooth and soft! THIS WILL!

Then I tried the mousse and on days I want to go curly this is awesome! I got some awesomely frizz free scrunchiness with this hair!

and then finally the Satin Drops. WOW. for a finish these are great! and man they smell good. It feels like the biosilk super expensive drops but more than half the price and a way better scent! I got compliments on how yummy my hair smelled the first day I got it!

So overall. I love the product! and the price isn't bad too with a suggested retail price of 5.99. ( and I've found sales all over town!)

Update for JUNE!

Okay. So Ive been trying to get on to review this new product but alas I had to go and rip my power cord out of the lap top and pull the pin out with it. So I am without it and as Im going away on friday for a week to youth camp, then again two weeks later to Santa Cruz I just simply dont know if I will have time to post a video. I still dont know when that new power cord will be here either. So I will be posting a text review! I know that the next review will be better.

First though I want to share that I turned the big dirty 30 on wednesday the 9th. It was however, the BEST birthday Ive ever had! On wednesday we had a BBQ at my moms house with my family and my two besties! ( kat and Cass!) and thier kids. It was windy so instead of out in the back yard my Mom set up this cool buffet and kids area in the garage, complete with a mini theater and little bowling. We had delicious Kinders tri tip with a variety of salads and awesome Ice Cream cake! ( 30 years of ice cream cake tradition) My brother and his girlfriend Nikole gave me an amazing gift of a weekend away at the Nugget (casino) with my husband! NO KIDS. and some spending money, then my Mom and Step Dad got me a fabulous DB purse to wear out.. with another 100 dollars in spending money! AWESOME!!!

So Friday we dropped the kids off with my brother and checked into the Nugget. it was an amazing view! We had panoramic windows so we could see all of downtown Reno and sparks, and as far south as the eye could see. We got to swim and soak and drink, ha ha.. Dinner that night with Toms Brother and Wife at Trader Dicks was awesome. They rang the GONG for my birthday and we got this fabulous raspberry cream type dessert! We played a few bucks on the nickel slots and just enjoyed the night! Saturday we got to go to a movie which we NEVER get to do and then went to Great Basin Brewery with My brother and Nikole for dinner and beers and live music! Then of course Scorpions at the lounge... We had so much fun. It was great for our marriage too. My husband and I just got to be together and renew ourselves! Then Sunday was a BBQ with my Dad and Grandparents and siblings and it was awesome to see my son play baseball with my grandpa. Hes not going to be around for long and I know this will be a memory my son will always have! overall.. BEST WEEKEND EVER! haha

And now were off again on Friday to go to JR. High Camp. Im so excited. I get to spend the weekend with my family up there and then the week as a leader without kids. It will be the first time Ive been to camp without kids! Im going to miss my babies! But I know that God is going to do some amazing stuff up there!

Then on July 9th we leave for Santa Cruz! My husband and Kids have yet to see the real Ocean! Tom has seen the bay but not the ocean like this! Its going to be so much fun and as a photographer I am just so excited about all the photo ops! haha.

Hopefully Ill come home with a lot of photos! soo look for them mid July!

Memorial Day weekend and GEOCACHING

We had an amazing weekend! We spend most of the day on Monday out Geocaching!

What is Geocaching you ask?

Geocaching is like treasure hunting and hide and seek in one! You use a GPS ( or ipone/droid app) and input cordinates from the site GEOCACHING.COM and then you follow your GPS till you find your location. at this location you must find a hidden container of sorts and inside will be a log book and often a treasure. You take a treaser and leave a treasure. (usually some sort of trinket) This is a global game that can be played anywhere!

We spent the whole mid morining to late afternoon Caching! We got 5 of 7 found! The kids love it. We go on all sorts of adventures and hikes and we end up finding places whithin our city we never knew about!

in the photo below is a microcache! we had to find the rock then split the rock open to find what was inside! it was aweseome!

We had a bbq with family for dinner that night and played minute to win it games, which of course hillarity insued!

Saturday My two best girls and thier kids came for a bbq at our house and I missed them so much! It was great to just catch up and let the kids play! Overall it was a great weekend!

Due to the Holiday however, mail has not yet come and so I have product to review.. but Im hoping it will be in todays mail as Im sure you all waiting or the next coupon!!

Thursday Randomness!

~I am so excited for my next campaign. Its Got2B products! Of course a video will come and coupons but this time I think there will even be samples! how awesome is that! Look for it next week some time!

~I LOVE my Bissel carpet machine! I got it for free practically! We got a KOHLS gift card for $100 when we switched cable companies and got the Little Green Machine with that gift card. It works amazingly! Ive used it once when I got it and was super impressed and now again today! It was fast and detailed. I thought NO WAY would it be easier then a stand up but I think because I can really put some elbow grease into it it works better! I cleaned my entire living room with only ONE fill of the basin! Oh and I got the heated one too.. I love having clean carpets! ( sorry ladies no coupons for this.. just a good ol Rave!)

~ I got my coupon in the mail today for a free Bowl at GENGHIS GRILL.. guess what were having for dinner! haha

~ Im going to a card making party tonight. My friend Rebecca is a big time scrapbooker and has these partys where we bring $10 and double sided tape ( or purchase off her for $2) and we then sit and make these awesome greeting cards. We go home with 10 of them and boy have they come in handy! Ill take a photo of them tonight and post them later. Im excited as I havent been able to go in a while as it was always on the days I had school! YAY for SUMMER~!

Thats all for today ( so far anyways)
Ill leave you with some photos of our weekend!

Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer

So just like I promised I would be doing demos and coupon give aways for products.

First up is Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer. Everyone knows that cleaning the bathroom and shower is one of the most bothersome tasks in the house, but thats all changing now thanks to Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer.


This little product will save you loads of time cleaning your bathroom. You spray it on bathroom surfaces including sinks, tiles, counters showers and tubs. Its powerful cleaners cut through soap scum and grime and work over-time to continue cleaning for up to 4 days. helping to keep your bathroom cleaner longer! And to make things easier it comes with an innovative battery-operated sprayer that releases a continuous spray just by holding down the trigger! NO PUMPING REQUIRED!


~Recieved the"Ease-of-Use Commendation" from the Arthritis Foundation!

~Totally refillable - Keep the sprayer, buy new refills.


How does the formula work?

1) You spray Scrubbing Bubbles Extend a Clean power sprayer on your bahtroom surfaces, wipe with a sponge then rinse.



2) Hydrophilic ( water-loving) properties in the formula attract water droplets to eachother to form a flat, even film



3) The film keeps dirt, soap scum and grime from sticking to the surface of your sint, shower or tub.



4) the next time you rinse, the water glides over the film while washing away the loosened dirt, grime and soap scum, leaving behind a thinner layer of film for up to four days!

Retail price is 8.99 for the kit and 3.99 for refills. ( of course if you are a bargain shopper you can find it cheaper!)

Where to go

so this blog has been everything from my struggles with infertility, bitching about my neighbors and more recently homeschooling my son. But as we all know, life happens. Since school has started the homeschool has gone down! I feel overwhelmed.. I say im going to start back up again but it just doesnt happen. So when it finally does Ill let you all know. In the mean time Ill just update on life! I love FB but I cant post the way I can here ya know! so if your reading this thanks!

SOooo

No news in the hip department. they want to do investigative surgery and I just dont have the time to do that right now! That with not being able to get the anemia under controll and then of course Ive gained all this weight.
I had an upper GI this morning, and all looked good in the band.. so hopefully Ill get some answeres on wednesday. to be honest I really did want something to be wrong..I just want to switch to GB..I HATE my band. There are days I just cry because I hate it so bad.

BE STILL BRIANNE

The kids are doing well. Sam is in a bowling league now and its SO MUCH FUN! watching him bowl, were wanting him to go all the way with this! we got him a ball that he loves too. Daddy will be taking him on tuesdays to get a little extra help from Greg in the pro shop! yay!!
Delilah is still a stinker.. full of drama!

School is good. Stressfull but good. Its helping us financially and now were in a much cheaper yet nicer place as well. I feel like were in a house but were not. This week was spring break and I felt like all I was doing was Homework!!! still not done and break is over! ( this is the stress part) we had a teacher who all of a sudden assigned us like 4 projects a week.. its crazy! I swear most the time hes stoned. Hes a black rock artsy kinda guy! I think he hates me!

Now my other teacher..as loud and harsh as he his, is at least consistent. He seems like hes really there to help us! which is a good thing as I have him for the next 3 years! He took some getting used to but now I appriciate him!

Ive been sucking in the dinner department.. Im cooking 2 times a week.. and it should be more. Tommys okay with it.. but he shouldnt be.

BE STILL

there are some days were i feel like I cant get it together and all this is futile. and as a christian I battle too. I know what I believe to be true.. yet my politics dont match those in my church and I dont want to fear rejection but I can deny what is in my heart and what I know GOD is telling me.

BE STILL BRIANNE

speaking of the church. I love being a youth leader so much. but I feel like im loosing it there too. I dont feel needed or bonded to the girls like I used to be. Its as almost as Im the girl everyone just gives a task to so I feel needed and whatnot..but they could care less if I was an active leader. I dont know.. its another one of those brianne shut up and be still Ive got it under controll.. love GOD!

Same with the small group we lead. I love it there and I know its a God thing were all together but when a few of them talk I feel so stupid.. and how can I be their leader when I feel they know more than me?? I just know what is true and right and what is in my heart and sometimes I cant even get that out with out getting all confused and looking stupid..again.

BE STILL BRIANNE!

I Read Rob bells Velvet Elvis book and it has inspired me to get more into the jewish background of christianity. its awesome learning and by learning all this it is helping me to better understand what the bible is saying!
I even got a tattoo in hebrew on my wrist..
HARPOO...

thats all I can do. BE STILL. I have to remember that God has it all under controll and If I just slow down and shut up HE will show me!
