How are you.....

I am wondering how you are were liking the new influenster website and if you all got any voxboxes lately?

I am loving the point system and almost done with a few of my expert badges. Just a few points to go!

Bow Wow HELP

It's been over a year since I have rescued my new min pin Ace (the chocolate/red one) It's by far the best decision I have made. I wanted to get a companion for Kaizer (the full red one) and Ace was a perfect match. They looked identical in person, the moment we went to Pet Pals Animal shelter and Ace came in the room, it was an instant bond.
The problem that was thrown at us was Ace has Hip Dysplasia, you can see how he doesn't tuck in his back right leg. Pet Pals took care of the problem and Ace is fine now, but the supplements we have been giving him, are getting expensive and even with pet insurance it's still pricey, so I was wondering if any of my lovely blogger friends have pets and give them joint supplements had any idea of a good brand I should try? 
please let me know :)

Influenster relaunch

Hello loves!
I figured I would do a update and share a awesome webiste I am apart of, Influenster! www.influenster.com I will post all of their links after my review.

In case you are not aware, Influenster is a site that is very similar to burchbox, except there is no fee. It's completely free! On this site, you unlock badges, take a few surveys and based on your answers, you may qualify for a VOXBOX. A voxbox is a something that Influenster sends you for free, to review the products they have selected for a particular group to review. Every VOXBOX is different, for example:
Recently I was sent the Latina Beauty Voxbox 2012.

Inside of this box contained: Veet Ready-To-Use Wax Strips, Always Radiant Infinity Pads, Always/Tampax Radiant collection, Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration SPF 30 moisutrizing lotion, NYC Liquid lipshine and Bath & Body works new Shea formula shower gel in Sweet pea. I wanted to give a very honest review and waited a few days to a week before I submitted my reviews on the website and made a YouTube video. I will be reviewing each product in the next few posts. I had a lot of fun with this and hope to continue to be apart of the reviewing process. Happy blogging :)

Influenster recently relaunched their amazing website and now have included more amazing badges to unlock. I am a gamer girl and there is a gaming badge! I am super excited and I really hope they come out with a gaming voxbox. ;) hint hint wink wink Influenster. I love reviewing products on this site. It's been hard doing that with a injured arm, one hand typing takes forever.

I will be updating my blog soon with new fun things I want to blog about. Oh and yes new tattoos are apart of that. Happy Blogging my loves! <3

Follow The White Rabbit

Tim Shumate has done it again. He has finally released Alice. He also has her being printed on limited edition pillows from Artofwhere. She is by far (along with Ariel and Sally) my favorite!!!!!!! <3 Just 2 hours after Tim released Alice, I had to get down to my favorite shop Foolish Pride in St. Petersburg, FL. My artist TJ Hal is the one responsible for my amazing sleeve. I have Ariel, Sally and Tink all outlined & colored. Alice will be colored on October 1st. Can't wait to finish my sleeve! Below is a picture of my outline.

I know I have been slacking on my blogs due to being sick...but I will be getting back into the groove this weekend.

Tim Shumate Illustrations

I wanted to change my blog up a bit and tell you guys about this amazing artist! Tim Shumate. Now I have reviewed his work on my YouTube channel, but just in case no one saw my channel I wanted to talk about him here. Tim Shumate is an amazing illustrator from Chicago. I have been a fan of his work for quite sometime now. The collection of Tattooed Disney Princesses is what made him popular. His artwork is like nothing I have seen before. His line work, and colorization is amazing and the detail he puts into his pieces is so amazing it will blow you away.

 Here are two pieces to the left of course you know that is Ariel - the start of my sleeve. Instead of adding other original characters he did a mock of flounder. Ariel is by far the most popular princess he has done, if you go to his facebook page: www.facebook.com/timshumateillustrations he has a album titled tattoos, you will see what I am talking about. So many people have put their own twist or kept it like the original artwork for their tattoos. The cool thing that Tim did for every princess is, he gave them tattoos that involved their themes from the movies. Ariel is nautical themed.

To the right you have Belle, Belle of course is from The Beauty and The Beast. She even has Beast, a moon and the rose in the glass lid tattoed on her. You see what I mean, keeping the theme alive with each character.  

 

Think about it, we all grew up watching Disney movies and falling in love with the characters. I know that some of the ladies he has drawn are not princesses, the way I title them are the leading/popular ladies of Disney. I have fallen in love with his work, so in love that I have a sleeve dedicated to it. Each princess taught us something different, if you look at it in a positive way, some may think a negative way, But HEY to each is own. I will post a blog showing my update sleeve, as we continue adding to it. Right now, Ariel is complete, Tink is complete and Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) is also complete. We are adding snow white next and Alice (which Tim is working on right now) next. I can't wait til my arm is complete!

Every lady has a banner or two with a famous quote from the movies. This just ties the whole thing in together.

To the left we have Sally (The Nightmare Before Christmas) her quote is: "I sense there's something in the wind" from her song in the movie "Sallys Song" The Nightmare Before Christmas is a by far my favorite movie! I love how Tim made her dark and mysterious, even if she is a rag doll.

Here are two pieces of Aurora "Sleeping Beauty" Tim made on in pink and the other in blue. She was another that was by popular demand.

Tim sells his pieces on a few websites: www.society6.com/timshumate is where you can purchase; Iphone cases, skins for iphone, ipods and laptops. Prints, canvas prints, stickers, hoodies, shirts and cards. www.redbubble.com/people/timshumate stickers and shirts, and iphone cases as well. Tim is working with a company called PrintsOnWood - they take artwork and print them on different types of wood. Truly amazing. Tim decided that the next collection of Disney ladies will be printed on limted addition pieces of wood. He is currently working on Alice from Alice In Wonderland, and then Cinderella & Pocahontas.

If you love throw pillows, to accent your room, living room or day bed, then you will love that Tim teamed up with ArtofWhere to print 50 limited addtion pillows for each piece of artwork he submits to be printed. http://www.artofwhere.com/index.php/artists/index/artistprofile/id/39 on artofwhere if you don't have a iphone you have a Samsung S3 or S2 you can purchase your cellphone cases on there as well.

Last but not least I leave you with a preview of what's to come from Tim. Here is a sample photo of ALICE!!!!!! <3>

Sweet Macaron!

Hello! So....I took advantage of the B&BW 2 for $20 3 Wick Candle sale. I purchased Sweet Macaron and Paris Amour.

When you first smell Sweet Macaron you get a very overwhelming scent. Your nose and brain are trying to figure out what scent to grab onto first. At first I couldn't stand the smell, I didn't even consider purchasing this but I figured it would smell different once I burn it and it does. The two scents that stand out completely are Vanilla extract and Rasberry Jam. It smells like a bakery in my room!

Inspired by a classic treat, this irresistible scent is a fragrant mosaic of French cookie raspberry jam, almond extract, vanilla cream and light lemon.

Candles from Bath and Body Works burn for approximately 30 to 45 hours.

If you guys have never tried a Macaron, I think you should consider it! So many flavors in different colors!

Bath & Body Works NEW & Improved Shower Gel

Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster's VoxBox program. The Latina Beauty VoxBox 2012. 

Bath & Body Works has re-released these favorite scents (and many others now) with a new Shea enriched formula. The new formula gives you softer, and cleaner skin. The scent lasts even longer now! I love that the shower gel lathers to a thicker, fluffy foam! Influenster sent me Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea is a old favorite scent of mine, I feel that it is targeted to a younger audience and thats fine, I prefer Twilight Woods and Secret Wonderland! I have to give Bath & Body Works an A+ for this new formula. Not only has Bath & Body Works changed the formula, they are changing the look of their bottles! Brand new designs. 

One thing that I love about the new formula of the shower gels is the BUBBLES! Nothing is better then lighting a bunch of candles (my favorite right now is Sweet Macaron) and soaking in a hot bubble bath! 

I just checked the website, they are running a special during the Labor day weekend! Buy 3 and get 3 for free! I will be taking advantage of this special! Will you! I really hope to read and see posts if you do! 3 wick candles are 2 for $20.00 and hand soaps for 4 for $15.00 or 6 for $20.00.
