Cetaphil® Moisturizing Cream is a long time staple beauty product in my household. It is gentle and non-irritating so it is perfect for anytime I need it. It isn't greasy and it absorbs in quickly.  I love the mini size which is perfect to stash in my purse or for traveling.

Beauty Box 5 December 2015 Have Yourself a Smoky Holiday Season Subscription Box @beautybox5

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products.

I love it....Beauty Box five has the fun beauty ideas for every day of the year whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter.  My little blue box from BB5 helps me manage to keep it all together at work and at home to freshen up my glam look no matter what the day holds for me.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta speed things along with a few little marvy products.  Check out all the trendiest of autumn fashions now that the long, hot days of summer are starting to fade! Don't forget to share your fave finds and share with friends too. Take a peek at a few beauty goodies to go along with your pretty fashions and maybe grab a few extra for friends. A BB5 subscription makes a great gift any friend would appreciate all year long.  

Everyone loves getting the inside scoop. I like trying new beauty products from sunscreens to lipsticks and find that I often find new faves.  That is one of the great things about BB5.  You can try lots of new things and sub in new favorites without being stuck with a huge bottle of this or that. I happens to the best of us even with green intentions. Sometimes I look at a product in the store but I worry it might not be for me and I don't want to spend all that money if I don't know that I really like it.  Who needs something else to sit on the bathroom shelf or take up more room in a drawer? I would always feel guilty. Every once in a while you get lucky and the store has a sample or perhaps a beauty company sends you a sample and you get to try it first.  That is the premise behind BB5.

The ideal solution for all of us is brought to you by Beauty Box 5. They understand  and created their great sampling box program. Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually. You can start out at just $12 a month or save more by getting a longer subscription. Signing up to receive Beauty Box 5 each month is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you.  Each month they include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.

Beauty Box 5 is always on the lookout for the latest new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots  of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.
  

I just received the December Have Yourself a Smoky Holiday Season Box this week.  The December theme is all about looking hot and smoky the trends no matter what your beauty regimen.  Just how do you add a those fearless new shades, tools and a bit of freshness to your routine? Let BB5 help you out! The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are it is all about being just a little bit adventurous.  They show you just how to let go of those summer colors and let the metallic eyes and rosy cheeks shine through even if you aren't walking the runway this week. Beauty Box 5 is here with a ton of special treats to help you along the way.    Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this sweet sea blue December box:

As always It was chock full of amazing goodies that I could not wait to try. There were goodies for my hands, face and body tucked in there this month.  Lots of special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever the cool fall days take me from work to play.  They take me all over too but hopefully not too far from home. We will have to see. I am one busy mama as always.

The first item in this box is a full size Glamazon Stick.  I am always on the lookout to get me some glam and to add a bit of color especially during the fall and winter. This easy to use highlighting stick really adds just the right amount of pizzaz to any look. It has a smooth but slightly sparkly finish that is perfect for the holiday season and even New Year's Eve. This soft highlighting crayon makes it easy to add shimmer to cheeks, brow bone or even eyelids.  Retail: $24.00

All those parties and get-togethers means that everything has to come off sooner or later. So Fresh, So Clean makeup remover wipes are so pretty and work really well. These are my new go-to for those late nights when I am just so tired and want to go to bed but must take my makeup off and of course brush my teeth before bed. These work very quickly. This works gets all of the mascara and eyeliner off without rubbing or scrubbing. These would be good for travel as well.  A deal at $2.99.

This Ofra Eye Shadow sample is the perfect way to add some fall color and a bit of sparkle. If this classic color didn't work for you then check out all the other colors they have. Here is the perfect bit of accent that you need to add some highlights to your eyes. Add as much as you like but I like to use just a bit for the day but more for evenings out. This is priced reasonably too so enjoy...pick up a few colors to add sparkle and shimmer to different looks.  This would also be a super cute little gift tucked into a gift bag for your best friend, your girls.  At this price I can collect a few more. Retail: $13.50 

I love a good eyeliner that adds dimension because it really defines the eyes. Prestige Cosmetics Total Intensity Eyeliner is an ideal option. I use eyeliner most days for work. My everyday makeup routine includes moisturizer, mascara, a bit of eyeliner and lipgloss. I am thrilled because this eyeliner goes on smoothly so I can swipe on some defining color in a flash. This shade gives me a fresh swipe of color to add some dimension to my hazel eyes. Perfect on my busy days when I just want perky, defined eyes. I am looking forward to bright eyes this winter. This one lasted all day for me. A good deal at $5.95.

The final item in this precious box is a Blender Brush. It is a lightweight brush that lets me add a pop of perfect color on my eyelids and blend it in just right. This girl loves her makeup just right so I love this precise brush.  I don't have a ton of time so I am thrilled that it only take a few seconds to get the perfect look.  Retail $10.00

So, are you ready to get in on the fun? The ladies from BB5 have put together another really amazing box full of beauty fun perfect to take you straight into spring and even summer. Don't forget to join Beauty Box 5 and get in on the goodies to keep you looking fab all four seasons.

Kuuk Mini Pull Chopper lets me chop and make salsa anywhere with no electricity required #MiniPullChopper

Kuuk Mini Pull Chopper is the most convenient new kitchen tool I just found. Now anyone can make all kinds of sauces, dips, dressings and more in the kitchen or on the go camping or hiking. This handy little chopper needs no electricity at all. We enjoy fresh salsa, guacamole, hummus and bean dips all the time now. Fill this hand food chopper with veggies, nuts, fruit or the ingredient of your choice, pull the ring and you will have a delicious addition to your next meal.
 
I don't know about you but my life is so busy, and I don't always have time to spend chopping a ton of ingredients. Sometimes I don't want to haul out my big 'ole food processor. That's why Kuuk is has the fast 'n easy solution with its mini hand pull chopper. Those difficult, time consuming dishes just became easy, as you pull the ring to create your recipe of choice in mere seconds.
 
The convenient storage lid comes included with the Kuuk hand food processor. This means that you can easily store your recipes right in the refrigerator for later use. The bowl of the chopper acts just like any storage container, so you can simply place the lid on top and keep it like any other prepped items or leftovers. The Kuuk leaves me free and I am no longer tethered to the kitchen. Anyone can easily create delicious sauces and dips all without the need for electricity. This makes this hand food processor ideal for camping, small kitchens, or trips in the RV. I already picked up another Kuuk Mini Pull Chopper as a gift for our neighbors since they are always camping in the RV.  Chopping by hand is a cinch with the Kuuk since the razor-sharp stainless-steel blades do all the work for you. 
 
Cleanup is  easy as 1-2-3 too since the bowl can go safely in the dishwasher. It comes out perfect and ready to use for your next creation. Alternatively, you can just as easily wash the bowl by hand in the sink with warm soapy water. For the lid with pulling mechanism just wipe clean with a damp cloth

Rim Sports Weightlifting Gloves are great for CrossFit, Fitness Camp and any kind of weightlifting #RimSports

I have been working out for years now on my own, at the gym and squeezing it into my travel time. I love finding new tools to keep my regimen fresh...it is a good way to surprise those muscles as I often say. I recently had the opportunity to try a new pair of weightlifting gloves from Rim Sports that combine benefits. Rim Sports Weightlifting Gloves are a combination of superior quality gloves with a wrist wrap built in for added support and agility.

The reality is you have to put in the time to get lean, tight and fit plus eat a clean diet. These gloves are a great tool to help you do quality exercises while protecting your hands and wrists. I totally feel a huge difference when I use these Rim Sports Weightlifting Gloves for my fitness routine from weights to pull-ups and push ups. There is no comparison, this is like night and day when I look at my old gloves. These gloves were designed with no slip contact padding to give a firmer hold. They feel different too since they are created from fabric that is breathable so less perspiration accumulates. They are constructed with 100% leather and spandex for the ultimate in durability. The unique wrist wrap design provides that extra support that you and I need for those tough workouts. 

Women's Wrist Wrap Workout Gloves are designed with women in mind.  Rim Sports knows we need an attractive glove that has good wrist support. These are ideal when lifting free weights, doing a forearm headstand or delivering that hook punch. You look good while doing it too. These gloves are made from breathable material to prevent hot hands but the padded palm protects and aids with grip. RIMSports' products are made to fit your active lifestyle. These are not like those cheaper gloves that use rubber and foam either. Rim Sports uses leather and spandex, which make their gloves more durable and for any kind of workout. Most workout gloves use the standard wrist wrap design which can be pesky to fold. These gloves have a unique strap with velcro in two locations. This  provides added flexibility and support. These Rim Sports Weightlifting Gloves are made for show and support. Try them out and see for yourself. Rim Sports suggests that if you are between sizes, go one size smaller. Otherwise they are true to size. 

You can pick up these Rim Sports Weightlifting Gloves right on Amazon for easy shopping anytime for the ultimate in convenience.
