Here is my Ipsy Glam Bag for October.
This month's bag contains the following:
Nicole by OPI gold colored nail polish: This is very fast drying and has a matte look rather than shiny.
Noyah lipstick in Mauve: A very pretty mauve color. It looks darker than it actually turns out when applied. I actually like the way it looks on my lips. This is "all-natural, synthetics-free, and never-tested-on-animals"
Ayres Body Butter: Has a faint smell of jasmine and rosemary. Very nice!
Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser: Nice fruity smell. Can't wait to try it!
Tattooed Waterproof Eyeliner: It is a black liquid liner. I've never used a liquid liner, so we will see how this turns out.
And of course it all came in the cute little green bag!

Today I received my 2nd box in my Love with Food subscription. Love with Food is a subscription food box service that arrives once a month. There are several options of boxes; I get the tasting box which consists of 8-10 snacks. The best thing about Love With Food is that with each box they sell, they donate a meal to a food bank. To get your own Love with Food box, go to lovewithfood.com.
This month's theme is Monster Mash.
Here are my thoughts on the products in this month's box.
Surf Sweets Organic Jelly Beans: These things are wonderful! The best flavored jelly beans I've ever had!
Justin's Honey Almond Nut Butter and Chocolate Almond Nut Butter: These are pretty good. I have bought these before. The only thing I don't like about these is the grindy feel it leaves in my mouth. Flavor is good though.
Flamous Organic Falafel Chips: I think these are really good. And even better if you put the almond butter on them. :)
Clairsquares Buttery Shortbread Squares: Another great product! Has a great buttery flavor.
J&M Original Cheese Straws: To me these taste like eating really think Cheeze-Its. I'm not a Cheeze-Its fan, but if you like them then you may like these.
Calbee Snapea Crisps: These had absolutely no flavor at all. But I'm not too sure how I expected them to taste.
Nutyvitta Cinnamon and Sugar Bananinha Banana Bar: This had a very nice flavor and it is definitely something I would buy if I seen it in the store.
So there you have it: This month's Love with Food box. If I have time, I plan to post these each month.
Now that my daughter is in high school, I'm riding the bus with the band to the out of town football games. Most parents don't want to do this. They seem to want away from the teenagers. I on the other hand, actually enjoy being around them, most of the time anyway. Most of the kids are well behaved most of the time. And usually the more adult eyes on them, the more likely they are to behave. Of course there are a few that you have to remind them to behave, but that is to be expected.
I'm a pretty goofy person and like to just sit in the bus and socialize and be goofy with the kids. I guess this means that I'm young at heart or maybe just a big dork. LOL Oh, I do use my "mom voice" when I have to. This does straighten them out. I have also found that distraction works well. If a kid is being a little unruly, I just distract them with a story of when I was a teenager or something. Maybe say something like, "Oh man, I remember when my brothers used to do that! They got in sooooo much trouble!" Then the kid wants to find out more about what happened. Distraction successful!!!
I will admit. I do miss playing my horn. I played trumpet and baritone. Sadly the only thing I can remember how to play is the Bflat scale. Can't even really remember how to read music. So, I will just enjoy watching my daughter and her band play and maybe reminisce the good times of playing.
