Influenster: imPress Manicure Canada VoxBox

Hey Ladies, (and gents)
I'm part of a site called Inflluenster, for those of you who are too part of it, you may have gotten this box. To those who don't know what it is, and care to know what it is; continue reading!

Influenster is a site that you can join, and do a bunch of tasks, reviews, surveys, and so on. With every single thing you do, you earn points. The goal is to gain lots of points. Theres many different badges that will pertain to you, whether you're an animal lover, a work out enthusiast, a college student, a mom, a book-worm, anything!! So if you are lucky, you can qualify for some VoxBox's. Whats a VoxBox you ask? Have you heard of Ipsy, Birchbox, etc? Its similar, this one you don't pay for though. Because you are doing reviews and surveys, they take that information and will decide if you qualify for the upcoming box(totally free, no shipping nothing). Once they determine if you are, you'll get an email telling you to go do the pre-survey. Usually when you do this survey, you'll know the general idea of what the box will contain, which is always a secret. Then usually a few days later you'll get another email if you qualified. Then you get your box o' goodies in the mail & review the items inside, take pictures, make videos, do whatever it is that you do! Pretty neat, right? I'm a little obsessed with just going and getting as many badges as I can.

So because I live in Canada, I don't qualify for lots of the boxes that they do send out, but I have gotten I think 3 boxes now & its always so exciting!! This box, was all about the impress Manicures from Broadway Nails. What these are, are essentially just press on nails. They last a little bit longer, they give you the length and the design without having to fork out 30+ dollars for them. I'm not a huge fan of press on nails, so I wasn't super enthused when I got this box yesterday. I am pretty hard on my hands; I cut hair, and I bartend. My hands are always in water, and always opening cans/bottles. Its just not beneficial for me to wear them, cause they'll pop off, and with my luck it will land in that cute guys drink I just made! (no thank you!!). I think the concept is neat! They say they will last on your nails for up to a week, which I believe could be possible if you are easy on your hands.

So, while I love these boxes, this one was a total flop for me, and I will be giving these sets to my sister!

disclaimer: I was not paid to do this, and was sent this box purely for review purposes!

spring whaaaat?!

Two posts in 2 days?! Whoa, lucky you guys! (or its just cause I remembered I had a blog, and wanted to get it up and going again haha) 

I didn't really know what to name this, so thats what the name is going to be! Super original, right? I know...... 

Can we just talk about the weather in Alberta, Canada for a moment? One day its snowing, the next its windy and warm, then an hour later its raining, then 4 hours later its snowing, then you wake up to 20 degrees Celsius(68F).... Its like mother nature is pregnant, and is having major hormonal changes... Its exhausting for me and my body, and my closet! Gotta wear 5 different outfits a day just to accommodate the weather proper.... Can it just be summer already?!

What a pointless post I have going.... On to the real reason for this post.... 

I don't care if you are reading this on May 5/2014, or May 5/2033 ... I want to know what YOU want to see from my blog. Do you want me to review products (hair, nails, body, face, make up,etc). Do you want me to have pointless posts like this one(please say no). I can do pictorials for make up, nails, etc... Learn my morning/night routines? See what I do during the day? Theres SO many different things I can do, so many different directions I can take this blog and I want it all to be up to YOU! I don't want to dictate what goes on here(to an extent). I want to make posts that will bring people in, who want to come back daily to see what my new blog post is about. I want people to tell their friends, who will tell their friends, and so on... I want it to be a place of learning, laughing, sharing... I mean, I won't make you laugh like ShayCarl can (If you haven't heard of him, can you please discard that rock you've so clearly been living under cause he is probably one of the best youtube vloggers everrrrrrr), but I can sure try!! 

Anyways, enough of my rambling nonsense... Please let me know what you want to see in the future. Is there a product you saw at the store, but don't want to buy it until you get solid reviews? Let me know, if I can get it in Canada...I will get it...If not, send it to me & I will let ya know what I think! ;) 

Have a good day/night/morning/afternoon/day! 

toodles,

Strangers! HELLO! :)

Hello to my followers. I've really become a stranger! I got so caught up with life. The last time we talked, I was just starting new jobs. Since then, I worked at the childrens salon, a tanning salon, a restaurant, and a nightclub. For a short period of time, I did all 4 at once. It was a rough summer, and I missed out on all the fun that a 22 year old could have had! I didn't go camping once, or anything. So I'm hoping this summer is different! 

I no longer work at any of those jobs, except for the nightclub. I had to get surgery on my foot, as I had a disease called Freibergs Disease. So I had that in December, then 4 days later my family and I moved to a new home, in the same city. So life was pretty hectic for a while there. Moving, while on crutches and in a cast and not being allowed to weight bare at all...It was tough. I lost my job at the hair salon & tanning salon because they didn't have enough hours for me... It sucks, but its life & you gotta move on! 

I have been getting more & more into make up, and trying new things! My new current obsession is smudged dark brown liner on my upper lash line. I love how soft it looks. I've decided liquid black wings are pretty harsh, and not that practical for my daily life! 

I haven't been doing much hair lately, as I am still having some issues with my foot(and will be getting surgery again in the fall. :( boo) I would love to be back doing hair full time, as I want to get my apprenticeship hours finished so I can be licensed, but that might be a bit before it happens. Its a little discouraging but whats life if you don't have any roadblocks in the way? Can't always be rainbows and butterflies! 

Anyways, I thought I'd just post a quick catch up, whether you read my posts every time I post, or if you just found me. If so, HELLO! If not, Hello again!! 

I hope everyone had a great winter, and their spring is treating them right! I will let you know in the morning if spring is treating me right (woke up to snow this morning, which wasn't all that great but it was gone in a few hours). 

Have a great day, morning, night, afternoon! 

Toodles,

Shianne xo
