Summer is the season for fresh food and preserving it for the winter just like squirrels.
So here's a true story: Last week, my husband literally said, "We're going to stop buying celery because we just keep wasting it."
At this point, I hadn't received the Food Vacuum Sealer, when I did get it I looked at it and was like, "Hmm, I wonder what I can try out?"
I was somewhat concerned it would be difficult to use, and that I would need a YouTube tutorial video to explain.
Opening it up, all the instructions that are needed are right on the bag and there are only three of them, "phew."
It was ready to go; it was even pre-charged right out of the box and it has a convenient charging stand included.
It was so incredibly fast and simple, a lot easier than burying nuts.
I am incredibly satisfied with this product, if I hadn't received it I would have never known it was an option to have for preserving food.

An all-season lip care balm that’s so sweet.
These lip balms are transparent a hint of color that adapts to your lips, an overload of moisture, but a level down in shine compared to YSL Love Shine formulation. Lips feel super nourished.
There’s a whisper of plumper; these don’t have that plumper tingle and I know plumpers (I usually wear two products at a time.) I do think there is a slightly fuller effect that happened, but that isn’t a top feature of this formulation anyway.
This is an easy, no fuss balm, that can easily be worn over a stain or tint lip color.
Whichever color you choose it’ll be a perfect match.
YSL Candy Glow Tinted Butter Balm
(1B) PINK SUNRISE - I found this balm to be a barely there color, it just perked up my natural color with a balmy shiny textured looked.

I love blush, it's one of my must-haves when applying makeup, it pulls a makeup look together.
I've tried so many different types, brands formulas, and colors.
Recently I've been sticking with cream sticks for buildable blendable colors.
So how does Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint 65 INTENSE BERRY compare?
It's vibrant, in texture and in color, the texture is like melted lipstick and this color is intense.
I applied one dot on one cheek and two on the other, I may have been heavy-handed with my dots, with the one dot using my fingers to blend the tint it spread smoothly but I didn't have enough cheek to blend it into, I used a highlighting fluid to help blend it down. Same with the two dots, it all worked out in the end, it was just a little touch and go.
The finish is flawless, so smooth it feels light and with a dewy radiance.
Once you figure out how much product you need for the look you are going for it's absolutely perfection.

I first saw this setting spray by Urban Decay when I checked out their website to get the details on their Face Bond Foundation that I tested recently and it sounded so good. I wanted to try it and voila.
My impression:
I gave this setting spray a good test drive, and it passed with flying colors.
I wore it on a hot day, went for a walk, did some shopping, threw water on my face, and my makeup stayed put. 🌡
I used it again for a night out into the early hours, again tossing water on my face and my makeup stayed in place.
It was non-drying and gave my skin a bit of a glow.
The only part of my makeup that didn’t last was my lip gloss, I had a feeling it was asking too much, so I still needed to reapply after an hour or so.
It actually takes a little extra effort to wash off, instead of a double cleanse a triple may be needed.
This will be my go-to setting spray; they do have a few different finishes to choose from and the one that I tried is the real skin finish. There is a dewy glow finish and I think I'll go for that next because I'm addicted to more glow.
I got it free.

I’ve been extremely interested in trying this Body + Face Wash, mainly because it’s for the bare skin parts that are exposed in one’s shower.
My impression:
This is virtually unscented, there’s a hint of a nondescript scent, so there is something.
I like the idea of a nonscented body wash; I had never really thought of it before, but it’s in line with the fact that I like nonscented body lotions not because I’m allergic, but because they don’t interfere with my perfume.
The texture is thick and full, and the lather is light, not a lot of bubbles in other words. I like a little more bubbly
Totally felt clean with a little extra rinsing.
Using it on my face however, my skin felt a little tighter than I personally like, but with no adverse skin reactions I’d recommend it for people with, oily, normal, and/or sensitive skin

What I love is the convenience, I can take the patches easily anywhere so when I do get a bite I can automatically put a patch on and it will be discreet and not messy.
Love that they are all natural with only the necessary ingredients and are unscented.
Fast itch relief for about six hours.

I was pumped to be chosen for the Lancôme campaign, intrigued by the concept of an eye serum as opposed to an eye cream.
The container, as you can see, is a mini version of the Lancôme RÉNERGIE H.C.F. TRIPLE ANTI-AGING SERUM, which I’ve reviewed prior and I am currently using once a day.
The similarities don’t stop there. The serums both have to be blended after dispensing from the three-hole chamber, both have a light Lancome floral scent, both have Hyaluronic Acid, C+Niacinamide.
The difference is that the eye serum has Vitamin F and it is a thinner, lighter texture, not exactly watery, just a few levels up from that.
You don’t need a full pump, a half a pump is plenty for both eyes, and then you mix, press, and massage.
It’s a comforting serum that sinks into the skin leaving a dewy radiance, without being oily.
Got it free in exchange for my review from from @lancome.official and @thisisbutterly.

You’ll have to read my lips for this review without me saying a word.
Okay, I’ll say a few. It’s a revolution in lip gloss, my personal favorite benefits are its deeply hydrating, smooth application, and it’s nonsticky.
For a gloss/glass it lasted longer than other lip products in this family. I could feel that my lips were hydrated well beyond actually wearing it.
I fully recommend PRISMA GLASS even if gloss isn’t really your thing for the hydration alone.

Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair
The Colgate 360⁰ Advanced Floss-Tip adult toothbrush. This isn’t basic, this large soft toothbrush reached all corners and crevices of my teeth. What I loved best was the tongue cleaner on the back, it wasn’t too harsh or gentle.

Fleecy Complete Fabric Softener Fabric Sheets Field Flower.
Wow are these scented; before even opening the shipping box I could smell them. At first I thought my husband had done some sort of cleaning, but I laughed that off, realizing it was the package that had arrived.
I used a full sheet on towels and tossed in a shirt knowing I had to gage wrinkle control.
The scent fully took over, diminishing the detergent I had used to wash the items.
My shirt was maybe 50% less wrinkled; an iron would be needed for those who are picky about that sort of thing.
Met my expectation of a reduction in static.
Moving forward I’ll use half a sheet, I don’t think I need that much fragrance.
