Peaches & A Bit of Housekeeping

I thought perhaps I would do a bit of housekeeping before launching full force into some of my new ventures. Alright, a few months ago I was scouring the internet for info concerning a topic I can't quite remember. Anyhow I stumbled across a YouTube video featuring a lovely young lady, BentleyBlonde talking about CRAP products- my personal favs; fast forward to June and I am an addict. Little did I know but there are oodles of gurus just like Wendy on YouTube. So after subscribing to her channel, following her blog, finding her on FB/Twitter & Instagram (I realize that I am now a certified stalker, single white female anyone?) I feel certified to apply my own makeup and spend gobs of money on beauty products!
SO I told you all of that to tell you that at the suggestion of Wendy I signed up for Influenster, a company that sends out VoxBoxes to Influenster's to try out for FREE and then submit detailed reviews of the products they received for FREE! I got my first box in May and I loved it. At first I was really skeptical because honestly, some company is going to send ME products for FREE, yeah ok. But seriously the sent it and I got to try out some pretty sweet products. In case you don't believe me check out my picture below to see all the awesome products that the Influenster Team sent my way and then go sign up yourself!

Spring Beauty VoxBox

My Spring Beauty VoxBox included:
 SoyJoy Strawberry Bar- interesting, but not horrible.
 Sally Hansen Salon Effects- used these before, NO dry time oh yeah oh yeah!
 Sheer Cover Concealer- lightweight concealer, amazing!
 Dr. Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot Gel Inserts- lifesaver, your feet will thank you!
 Chapstick Lip Shield w SPF- not so much, but Sarah loved it!
 Bath & Body Works Body Mist in Sweet Pea- classic scent, who doesn't love Sweet Pea?!
 Aveeno Body Wash- nice, very moisturizing & no overwhelming scent!

So seriously go sign up and play around on the site so you can qualify for you very own VoxBox its totally worth it!

Fresh Peaches!

Hey y'all I thought I might give this one more shot. If you don't already know I attempted the blogging game about 2 years ago and failed to follow through with it. So I gave myself a nice kick in the bee-hind and decided to start fresh with a new one. This time around I have mapped out a plan of action and made a commitment to blog regularly and frequently.
I'm a teacher by trade and am currently finishing up my last 2 courses of my M.Ed. Program, yes I am rather excited to have additional letters after my name! With the recent move to Georgia I quit my job enrolled full-time in grad school and took on the role of housewife and I have quite enjoyed it although its a bit lonely at times. In January I took a job at a local private school as an after school Pre-K worker, now that its summertime its back to the house for me. In an attempt to preserve my sanity, steer clear of online shopping, and provide an outlet for my creative ventures I figured ANOTHER blog would serve me just fine.
So for the purposes of the Peachy Keen blog I'll be rambling on about my day to day adventures, showing off my photography and maybe tempting you with some of my creations. For all extensive purposes this will simply be a collection of random happenings and a database of memories and fun times for my friends, aquaintances and of course myself! Happy blogging, hope you enjoy!
