I like how Amazon has been offering sample boxes to Prime members. You have to pay for the box upfront, but you get a credit on your account for the price of the box. I purchased a dog food and treats sample box in the past, and this new one was simply called dog treat sample box, though it included some food as well. The box costs $11.99 and in return youโll get a $11.99 credit to spend on pet โฆ Read the rest
Iโve been with my boyfriend Ryan for over 10 years now. A while back we were getting ready to leave the house with a family member, who was in the kitchen. I came out wearing an outfit that I had looked at in my dresser mirror. The mirror isnโt full-length, so I can mostly only see my upper half.
โDoes this outfit make me have a muffin-top?โ I asked Ryan.
โKind of. Maybe try another shirt?โ he recommended.
Our family โฆ Read the rest
Ryan and I have both lost weight in the past couple of years. We are really happy with our progress, and definitely feel like it was the right choice to make. We in no way regret our choices. However, I have been a little bit surprised that there were a few downsides that we didnโt completely anticipate. If youโre planning to work on losing weight, here are a few things weโve dealt with that you may want to be prepared โฆ Read the rest
When you move into a new apartment or house and start hearing loud noises, or dealing with other annoying behaviors from your neighbors itโs easy to get upset, quickly. Itโs happened to me before. Over the years though Iโve learned that most people will work with you, if you approach the problem in a mature way.
Most recently, my neighbor in a duplex was playing music extremely loudly during the afternoons, for about two hours. It was the middle of โฆ Read the rest

About 15 months ago my hair seemed to lose itโs shine. I always had shiny, strong hair prior to that. I was 24 at the time. A few months after I lost the shine, I started noticing โfly awaysโ or broken pieces of hair that would stick up on top of my head. This has continued since then. I first noticed the change a few months after starting hormonal birth control, but my โฆ Read the rest

I know that most women struggle with finding a comfortable bra. Many of my friends have told me that they ย buy the same style over and over once they find one that works. That is true for me too! Yet, as women we rarely share our bra secrets with others so they can find the good ones, too.

Itโs been about six months since my last general life update so I thought it was time!
This weekend is my sisters wedding. I am a bridesmaid and Ryan is playing videographer. I am excited and hoping to get through it without crying too much.
I bought some very light pink or nude colored nail polish, some white nail polish and nail stickers to do a french manicure and pedicure for the wedding. My little sister was here a couple โฆ Read the rest
I started doing reviews on my blog Emily Reviews back in 2009, though it had a different name and URL at that time. I had originally started the blog to promote my Etsy shop, but I found other review blogs. I started branching into promoting other Etsy shops, and doing some reviews of Etsy shops. Shortly thereafter I got contacted by brands who werenโt Etsy shops at all, so it kind of went from there.
At first I didnโt have โฆ Read the rest
