Lash Experiment: 16 weeks featuring TriLash......2 week Update....

Hey Everyone!

The beauty junkie in me has been dying to try a lash growth product but the ex-librarian assistant in me didnt wanna do the research to find out which one works the best. Combine that with my broke single mother-ness and you got no lash growth product yet. However, the Universe is loving me every once in a while and I have the chance to try TriLash for review!!

According the TriLash website:


TriLash is not a mascara or a lengthening effect makeup. TriLash is a revolutionary cosmeceutical scientific breakthrough that helps your body naturally create your very own longer thicker lashes with the advanced patent pending peptide active ingredients. Clinical tests and more importantly user experience has confirmed that TriLash’s key active ingredients work to deliver safe and drug-free results easily and effectively within as little as 2 weeks.

I will do my TriLash experiment like I did my Clinique Even Better Clinical Review and update the change in my lashes every 2 weeks for 16 weeks ( Since each lash cell matures individually, continued use of TriLash for up to 16 weeks is advised for best results.).




I will also not  give a full review of the product til the 16 weeks is up.:)

Lets get started!!

This photo of my lashes was taken the day that I started applying the serum. I have okay length lashes but they are not thick and I have some sparse places. I will take the picture after I wash my face at night so all the photos for this experiment will have mascara free, natural lashes.

*2 WEEKS UPDATE*

I see a slight change in length in some places. I'm not applying it to the lower lash line since I dont wear mascara on my lower lashes. Too much smudging for me:(

I think I'll take the growth experiment pictures like this one above....It shows the difference better...


See you in TWO more weeks for the FOUR weeks update!!

 Hi Everyone!!

I wanted to share a recipe I came up with that is a yummy and sweet coffee drink and comparable to Starbucks Pumpkin Latte that I heart so much!

-Cuppa Jane Pumpkin Harvest Coffee( grounded, brewed HOT Oww!)

-International Delight Coffee House Inspirations Breve Creme in Dark Chocolate Cream Creamer

-Reddi Whip Extra Creamy

-Sweetener of your choice( I like sugar, sugar, and more sugar:))

-A cute cup in put it all in!

 1) Brew Cuppa Jane Pumpkin Harvest. I'm using my new Bodum Coffee Press.

 2) Sweeten the hot coffee as you like and pour in as much creamer as you like and stir. I like creamy coffee like Grandma used to drink!

 3) Top it off with the Reddi Whip....

A Trip To The County Fair featuring Envirosax and Eco Vessel!!!!

Yesterday, I packed up the boys and took them to the county fair. This fair has been coming to my hometown for over 100 years, including from the time I was a little girl. I knew that it would be full of action and my two busy bodies were super extra excited. I decided pack a easy bag: cash, my id, keys, and baby wipes....

I used my Envirosax reuable bag in Oasis to carry all the necessities. It was lightweight and definitely not as heavy as regular handbag which I didnt want to tote. I thought it would great for carrying any prizes the boys would win like stuffed animals or toys.

For myself, I want to make sure I wasn't thirsty and if you have ever been to the fair,you know the drink prices are outrageous. $3.00 for a bottle of water and Wal-Mart is across the street?!?! I think not! I used my Eco Vessel Stainless Steel Water Bottle and filled it with ice water. The Eco Vessel is very insulated, so my water kept ice cold the whole time.

And now for some fun!!

Here are the boys on the cars....the rode EVERY car ride. Boys.

Including the bumper cars....they rode this THREE times....

I was shocked to see this. I used to ride this as a child and teen....Its soooooo old!

Green Glam: Rubbermaid Reveal Mop

Rubbermaid has introduced a new mop, The Reveal Spray Mop, designed to save you money and clean your floors at the same time. I know that when I lived in old place, I was obsessed with Swiffers and the Swiffer mop because I had hardwood floors I couldn't keep clean to save my life! Its a great product but buying this refills became a little hard on the handbag.

Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Mop has reusauble microfiber pads that are reusable and washable up to 100 times a pad. It also has refillable solution bottles were you can make or own solution to use instead of buying reusable solutions. Check out my demo video that I did on my mother's kitchen floor below!





 Rubbermaid also has products for home organization, closet storage, and for decluttering rooms at www.rubbermaid.com. They also have great organizing ideas, and some great recipes for cleaning. Check out their blog as well!
