I’m not going to be the girl you marry. I’ll be the memory you have when you propose to her. As you slide that ring on her finger you’ll think about that time we got dressed in our swankiest threads and had a horrible time at that party so we came back home and sat in an empty bath tub drinking whiskey outta the bottle talking about our childhood dreams. I’m not going to be the girl you marry. I’ll be that memory whenever you and her get in an argument. you’ll recall our first fight and the endless glares and icy tones. Repetition of words like RESPECT and WHY rung through the stillness of the air. We almost ended that night. Thankfully you stopped me from walking out of that door. I’m not going to be the girl you marry. I’ll be that memory when you have your first child. When you and your wife are picking out names you’ll remember our talk about our future. Our apartment layout and first pet. A dog named Pascal because I’m allergic to cats. I’m not going to be the girl you marry. I’ll be the girl you fall for when you are too young to understand what falling really is. You’ll fuck up and lose me. You won’t realize it until a while later. But when you do, you’ll think about me everyday. Forever.

you’ll miss me- jlw (via burgundythoughts) A girl canal dream (via universal-crush)

Target Spring Preview Review #FindItAtTarget

As a part of Influenster’s Target Spring Preview I received Crest Sensi-Relief Whitening Toothpaste in Minty Fresh. At first I was disappointed. I got really excited about the Target Spring Preview because its Target! I was expecting makeup or hair products or something with owls and anchors on them, and I got toothpaste. Then I saw that it was for sensitive teeth and I got over it. I have sensitive teeth but my gums are really sensitive and react badly to certain toothpaste (see previous blog post). After trying it for a month, I haven’t noticed any tooth or gum pain, bleeding, or any bad reactions to this toothpaste. I haven’t noticed any drastic whitening results yet, but since it’s a product for sensitive teeth it will probably take longer than a regular whitening product. Its listed for only 4.99 on Target.com and can be found in Target Stores.

#FindItAtTarget Crest Sensi-Relief

I’ve been using Crest Sensi-Relief Whitening toothpaste in Minty Fresh for over a month now and I’ve been pretty impressed. Normally I just grab the cheapest toothpaste I can find at Target. My teeth are sensitive, but it’s my gums that are especially sensitive. I can’t use a lot of whitening products or toothpastes and the toothpastes that leave a “tingle” are very painful and can even make them bleed. My gums even reacted badly to a toothpaste my dentist gave me after I had my wisdom teeth removed (horrible experience- they PEELED).

Crest Sensi-Relief, thankfully doesn’t do any of that. I haven’t had any tooth or gum pain since I’ve started using this toothpaste. It even has a whitening agent in it, but I haven’t noticed any drastic results. Crest Sensi-Relief is available at Target and target.com.

Celebrate Your Skin! Tone Body Wash

I purchased Tone body wash every year during college. They were inexpensive but didn’t smell like a cheap body wash. I am glad to see that they have new scents out now. Bzzagent sent me Petal Soft body wash. Petal Soft is pink peony with rose oil and smells amazing. I haven’t been using another body wash since, and I have quite a collection amassed thanks to everyone sending us care packages since we moved. I’ve also gotten another scent from Tone- Soothing Oatmeal with Shea Butter. My skin went into shock from leaving such a humid climate and became incredibly dry. This body wash has been definitely helping. I’m really interested in trying out Daily Detox next because it has white clay and pink jasmine in it.

Here’s a list of their body wash scents:

Petal soft with pink peony and rose oil

Mango splash with cocoa butter

Daily detox with white clay and pink jasmine

Soothing oatmeal with shea butter

Ocean therapy with deep sea extracts and pearl essence

Fruit peel with alpha hydroxyl fruit acids

They’ve also come out with body bars and foaming hand wash too but I haven’t tried out any of them yet.

*I received this free as a part of a Bzz campaign with Tone. This does not influence my opinion.

Bzzagent: Fiber One Protein Cereal

So I'm not even a cereal person, or really a breakfast person. I'm more likely to eat cereal as dinner. But, the Cranberry Almond Protein Cereal from Fiber One is so freaking good. I ate it for breakfast, dinner, and mainly as a snack. Its got granola (and dried cranberrys and almonds, obviously), so its basically trail mix when you don't add milk. So good!

The other flavor however was not my cup of tea. It was good, but just not something I would eat every day. The Maple Brown Sugar is extremely sweet and I would only recommend it for people with a huge sweet tooth who would eat cake for breakfast.** I recieved two boxes of Fiber One Protein Cereal from General Mills and Bzzagent as a part of the Bzzagent program. Free goods does not equal fake reviews.

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask #powerofplants

Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask has replaced all of my other face masks. I've always struggled to erase the shine on my nose and this mask doesn't disappoint. It's not too drying, it doesn't have an overpowering scent, and my skin feels great. The only con was that it dried in patches, and the mask is more liquidy than other masks I have tried.

Here's the mask in action!

This mask works best if you've just gotten out of the shower. I find that the steam helps open pores. I washed and exfoliated my face before I applied it in several thin layers. After I let the mask dry for 10 minutes I wiped it off with cotton rounds and warm water.

**As with all of my Influenster posts, I get these products from the VoxBox program. Free stuff does not equal fake positive reviews.

Influenster J'adore VoxBox

Products:

Kiss Look So Natural Lashes in "Flirty" ($3.99)

Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask ($9.39)

John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray ($9.99)

Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas in "Lemon Chiffon" and "Creme Caramel" ($4.49 for 20 tea bags)

Hershey's Kisses in Milk Chocolate ($5.29)

 Pretty good box, right?

Overall, I really liked this box. It fit in perfectly with their theme for Valentines Day.

-The Kiss Lashes were SO SOFT. These are much more realistic looking than other lashes I've gotten from the drugstore. I would recommend cutting them in half and to use a coat of mascara to make them blend in even better with you natural lashes.

-The Boots Botanic clay mask was a lot different than other masks I've tried before. I'm use to a drier, paste texture while this was more liquidy. I liked it though! It didn't feel dry like other masks when I first put it on, and it had a very slight plant-y (I'm horrible at descirbing smells)  scent and was not overly fragrant. The packaging says that it is made from Willowbark which is a natural source of salicylic acid.

-I've tried other John Frieda Frizz Ease products before and have been disappointed. My frizz can't be tamed, although I've had a lot of luck with oils recently. Anyways, this product is suppose to help your hair stay straight for 3 days. It helps, but its not a miracle worker. Also, if you're a wash your hair every day kind of girl, this isn't for you as the product washes out. It worked just as well as the oils I use for styling, but not for nourishing my ends.

- The Red Rose Teas were a surprise winner! I like drinking tea but I definitely need sugar and sometimes some creme even for flavored teas. This was the sweetest caramel tea I've ever tasted. I didn't have to add anything to it.

-Everyone's had Hershey Kisses. Do I need to even say anything? The only thing I'll add is that although I'm a bigger fan of their other flavors, milk chocolate kisses are extremely versatile for desert recipes. You can use these to make adorable chocolate mice, top off cakes, or to make it look like you actually tried with thumbprint cookies.
