WW Snack: Fro-Nana's!

Weight Watcher Friendly Snack:
Fro-Nana's!
If you'll look back at my last post you'll remember 
i said i had been craving ice cream.
I was browsing the internet today when i saw a WW snack
that was frozen fruit salad.
SO i thought about doing it, then realized all we had in the house
were oranges, apples, and bananas.
Freezing oranges and apples, might not be so good!
so i thought "hmmm...frozen bananas. Let's try it!"
So after dinner i cut up a banana into slices and put it in a bowl 
and put it in the freezer.
about a half hour to an hour later, i took the bowl out,
grabbed a fork, and dug in.
it was really cold, at first, then it started to "melt" in my mouth.
At that point I realized, This has the same texture as 
ice cream!!
I was so excited!
That craving for ice cream had just been satisfied,
and for only 0 points!!!
I will deffinately be doing this again whenever i have that craving for ice cream!
I hope you guys will all try it, even if you arent on 
Weight Watchers!
It's so much healthier!
Until next time, I hope you guys enjoyed this post!
xoxo, Sami!

The Beginning of My Weight Watchers Journey

The Begining of My
 Weight Watchers Journey!
Resently, I decided to start weight watchers, because well for one it was
very much needed and two my best friend did it
and it worked and she looks amazing! :)
SO I did it!
But I didnt realize how much i snacked throughout my normal day!
I also didnt realize how much unhealthy junk i ate during those snack time!
Anyway!
I started sunday and i've already lost four pounds!
I'm so excited!
I expect to fluctuate, but still its progress!
Anyway!
One of the first things my friend told me when I told her i was starting
Weight Watchers was,
"You will feel like you're dying the first week, but then you'll be ok!"
And while I dont feel like i'm starving myself, 
I do find myself having terrible cravings for things i dont really crave that often!
For instense, I love ice cream, fro-yo, etc.
BUT!
I rarely find myself saying,
"I REALLY WANT ICE CREAM"
(you could also replace ice cream with any other sweet treat! lol!)
This week I have been saying that!
Also 
I drank, Coca~Cola, or Sweet Tea with
EVERY MEAL!
I never drank water before, especially not at meals!
So i've found that i had become somewhat "addicted" to caffeinated drinks.
(another reason why ww is a great idea for me to do)
I am a person who gets headaches really easily, so i have been getting
small headaches everyday, from not having caffeine.
So for one cup (8oz.) of coke or sweet tea, its only a few points.
So i have one cup a day (or two depending on how many points i have left at dinner)
and drink water with the rest of my meals.
(although i still dont much care for water but i've found that it
taste better if you add lemon juice)
I know that's helped!
Meals arent so much a big deal, but snacks
and drinks are really where i'm having cravings!
So i've found some snacks that i like that i make at home,
so i'm going to be doing posts on those,
and i'm going to do a weekly weight watchers diary!
I hope you guys enjoy
and maybe i'll inspire some of you to start 
your Weight Watchers Journey too!
xoxo, Sami!

April Favorites 2012

APRIL FAVORITES!!!

Yay! My first Favorties post!
I'm so excited!
I'm going to be doing beauty favorites and a few random favorites!
I hope you guys like it!

My first favorite is
Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in the shade
05 Fresh Pink



The description says that it is lightweight like a powder,
yet melts into your skin like a cream!
And this is very true! It is cool and creamy and feels great
on your skin!
Fresh Pink is the perfect color for my skin and gives me a light
pinky color without going overboard, and without needing alot of product!!


My Next favorite is
Maybelline One-by-One Volume Express Mascara
in the shade Blackest Black
I bought this mascara a few months ago and I really like it,
but I forgot to check and see if it was water proof or not when I bought
it and it wasnt.
But other than that I love it and I love the way it looks on my eyes!




The Next Favorite is
Almay Intense i-color powder eyeshadow
trio for blues 202

I've had this for a very long time!
Almay doesnt even sell this one anymore, sadly!
I've been using when i dont feel like doing alot for my makeup.
I'll just sweep the top shadow on my eyelid, 
and sometimes i'll put the darker blue color (middle one) in my crease.
It looks great and it's really simple!
(usually i'll wear the Maybelline One-by-One with it)




My Next Favorite is
88 Color Shimmer Palette from BH Cosmetics
 (excuse the glare)
 (second row, bottom two, the pinky peach colors)
(second row from right, the top one and the third one down)
I got this palette for Christmas and I think it is great 
for someone who is just getting into
makeup or wants to experiment with colors, other than neutrals.
:)




Last But not least,
Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color 
Coral Crush

This Gorgeous spring color is definately one of my favorites!
If you want to know more about it check out my last post here!


-Other Favorites-


Gel Eyeliner: It's something that i'm new to but i really, really like it!
I thought I would like liquid eyeliner more that gel, but (while i do still
like liquid eyeliner) I like the gel eyeliner much better! :)


Favorite Song: 
Stronger - Kelly Clarkson!


Favorite App:
Draw Something!!


Favorite Show:
America's Next Top Model


Well that all for this month! There will be alot more posts
coming soon! In the mean time,
Email me your suggestions, or comment below, and i'll talk
to you guys later!
xoxo Bye!

Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color - Coral Crush!


MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL LIP COLOR!
-Review-

Maybelline color sensational lip color comes in 68 different colors!
Today im going to review one of them, Coral Crush!


Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color
515 Coral Crush

I'll be honest, at first I was alittle bit afraid of this color 
because it is very bright in the tube, but a watched some reviews 
on YouTube and heard that it was very buildable.
So I decided that I would take the risk and buy it.
And I am SO glad I did!
It is very buildable and does have the potential to be the color 
that you see in the tube.
I love this color!
It's a very pretty coral color that looks alittle red/pink
at times...

Coral Crush swatches (top: layered, bottom: single layer)

Bright colors are very in for spring and this fits right in with the trend!
At only $7.49 this is a great product to stay on trend 
without breaking the bank!

Coral Crush on my lips

This lipstick feels glossy and not dry, which I love!
it basically stays the same texture from the time you put it
on until you take it of...
It has pretty good staying power, but of course if you eat or something
its probably going to loose some color.




I'm totally in love with this product and I will be wearing it alot
during spring (and maybe even summer)...

The scent of this lipstick is great too!
But, the only think i dont like is that it transfers...

Overall Rating: 9/10

I hope you go try this product and love it as much as I do!
