Christmas Decors

Have you started decorating for Christmas yet? For some of you probably wont decorate until after Thanksgiving. But it's different in our household. I always start decorating on the first week of November. So, right now I'm pretty much done with Christmas decors. Here are some photos that I took a few days ago.





Review & Giveaway | eAu fLirt

If you're a fragrance junkie like me, you've got to try Harvey Prince fragrance line! Harvey Prince products use only eco-friendly & high-quality ingredients and come wrapped in handcrafted packaging. Their fragrances are featured extensively in the press, from The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Prevention and The Economist to NBC’s Today Show, CBS's Early Show, and the New York Daily News.
Check out this best seller perfume that I got, introducing eAu fLirt from Harvey Prince!
Honestly, I was kind of hesitant to try the product because of the neon color and the lavender and pumpkin combination. I would have never thought to use a pumpkin in a perfume. It's sounds like an odd combination. Surprisingly, it smells fantastic! I totally love this fragrance. The smell is not overpowering or musky. It's refreshing, very feminine, light but yet manages to last all the day. This is definitely one of those fragrances that catches a man's attention. Seductive and Flirty! Now I'm a Harvey Prince fragrance fan! What a perfect gift to give for any occasion. You've got to buy this!

Wantable | November Accessories Box

I like surprises! If you're like me, then you will love subscription boxes. Subscription boxes are becoming more and more popular these days. I personally love the whole concept of trying new products without a huge investment.
Have you ever heard of Wantable? Wantable is a little bit different from other subscription boxes that I've tried before. They offer monthly subscription boxes in four categories: Makeup, Accessories, Intimates, and Holiday box. They create a unique customer profile by asking you a series of product and personality questions, then use this data to introduce you to assortments of products perfectly suited to your personal taste. So if you love beauty and fashion, why not subscribe for $36 a month or buy a single box for $40 today? Subscriptions are shipped automatically each month and can be skipped or canceled anytime.
Here's my November Accessories Box featuring Vivian Zhu: Barb Sunglasses, Fanny Earring, Deka Ring, and Evelynna Bracelet.
The Barb Sunglasses ($15.00) feature a subtle cat-eye shape for a classic meets modern look. The Fanny Earrings ($18.00) feature a sleek onyx. Art Deco inspired with smoky gray rhinestone accents. The Deka Ring ($26.00) will compliment any outfit. The Evelynna Bracelet ($16.00) features a metallic and golden pearl accents on a convenient and comfortable stretchable bracelet.

Review & Giveaway | LED Teeth Whitening

A dazzling white teeth and a knockout smile is one of our best assets. I agree! That's why having a bright smile is important in today's culture. Everybody wants to have whiter teeth but unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.

It has been an ongoing struggle for me to keep my teeth white. Even if I brush, use white strips, and visit my dentist twice a year, it still not enough. I've been wanting to have my teeth professionally whitened but I don't have a budget for it right now. I'm glad I found a great alternative, it's the LED Teeth Whitening System by Smile Brilliant.
The LED teeth whitening system is perfect for those who want great tooth whitening results but are on a budget. The LED system is competitively priced when compared to popular whitening strips over the counter. However, it is far more effective due to its 22% carbamide peroxide tooth whitening gel and high strength LED light which accelerate the whitening process.
I was a little bit skeptical that a 20 minute treatment could transform my smile. I was wrong! It actually works. It was really easy to use. The LED light in combination with the gel works great. Now my teeth were noticeably even whiter after just one or two applications. 
I would highly recommend this affordable Teeth Whitening with LED Accelerator Light kit to everyone.

Rent Textbooks and Save Up to 80%!

College textbooks are one of the most common tools used by students that can help them study more effectively. They remain a necessity especially to students who would like to maximize their learning experience in all the courses that they take. Students who may not have the funds needed to buy all their textbooks for an entire semester don’t have t worry because there is a more practical option available – textbook rental.
What are the perks of renting textbooks? Here are just some of them:
  • Renting is cheaper than new textbooks. You can get as much as 80% off of new textbooks. Why buy a $200 textbook when you can actually rent them for a quarter of the original cost? You will be surprised just how much you’ll be able to save when you rent textbooks.
  • Free shipping. Some textbook rental companies offer free shipping both ways: when you rent them and when you return the books to them. You don’t have to worry about additional costs such as shipping fees.
  • Flexible renting periods. You have the option to rent books for a specific period of time or extend them up to the entire semester.
  • You’ll be able to donate to a worthwhile cause for every book you rent. At CampusBookRentals.com, a donation goes to Operation Smile with each textbook rented. Operation Smile is a worldwide children’s organization that provides free surgeries to repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities. They aim to transform children’s lives and give them hope for a brighter future.
Donate To Children with Cleft Lips or Cleft Palates
Operation Smile is a charity organization for children – donate non profit
If you are college student who is looking for a more affordable way of having access to all the textbooks that you will need, then renting textbooks is the best option for you. Visit CampusBookRentals. Com today and learn more about their services particularly their new program, RentBack. RentBack is new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own - to other students which is awesome because it makes them 2-4x more money compared to what they'd make through buyback options!

Future Veterinarian

My second grader wants to be a veterinarian and a farmer cowgirl someday....lol! So a few weeks ago, the students in her school were given a chance to dressing up in career outfits. I was kind of hesitant to pay for the $20.00 photo shoot, but she insisted!
She looks so cute in that vet scrubs.
I actually love the idea. It encourages her to visualize herself in the future as she wish to be when she grow up.

Little Helper

Child labor? Some people might interpret this in a negative way, but kids are like sponges. Teach them while they're young. That's what a lot of people is telling me.
It is important to teach them responsibilities and valuable life lessons while they're young. I guarantee they'll be better off in the long run.
The package below was very heavy but she managed to push the cart after we got out at Walmart and all the way to the parking lot. Good job, anak!

Be Carton Smart this Holiday Season!

This post brought to you by Carton Smart. All opinions are 100% mine.

Can you imagine it's gonna be 2014 in two months? Oh, how time flies by super quick! With the busy holiday season is nearly here, many people are already shopping for Christmas presents and not to mention busy preparing for Thanksgiving dinner. I haven't started shopping for Christmas presents yet but I already made a list of dishes that I'm planning to make for Thanksgiving dinner.
My family and I will celebrate Thanksgiving this year at my brother-in-law's house. It's going to be a big celebration because some of my in-laws from California are coming down to Texas. I can't wait to cook for them! I'll be making some Cranberry Pecan Crunch Squares and Pumpkin Pie using the kit that I received from Pacific Foods. How about you?

Did you realize how many amazing food products for your holiday meals you can get in a carton? Imagine if everyone made one small, smart decision a day. How much would it help our planet and our own personal worlds? As an individual, it feels small, but as a collective, the small, smart decisions add up. Tetra Pak applauds the thousands of small acts of smartness that add up to make a big difference. 
This holiday season, Tetra Pak wants to inspire people to make small, smart decisions when cooking for their families and stocking their pantries. This starter kit from the Pacific Foods kit are: 
• Pacific Foods Organic Pumpkin Puree 
• Pacific Foods Organic Jellied Cranberry Sauce 
• Pacific Foods Organic Chicken Simply Stock

Why Tetra Pak cartons are pantry stables for those that enjoy living smart: 
• Tetra Pak® cartons are made of 70% paper, a renewable resource, from selectively harvested, re-grown trees that are FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) 
• Cartons use 1/3 of the packaging compared to cans or even an egg! 
• Cartons are space saving, easy to store and open.  
• The unique packaging process preserves the flavor and nutrients of food without the use of preservatives.
• Recycleable and in fact result in 60% less landfill waste than cans 
What I like using about Tetra Pack is that I can keep my pantry neat and clean, they're stackable and space saver for sure! I don't need can openers because these cartons are re-closable. I can use what I need and save the rest for later. How awesome is that?
