Today’s tip is about how to make your brushes last longer:
1. Keep it clean! Wash your brushes well at least once a week.
2. Just like your hair, your brushes need a little extra love, too! After you wash your brushes, condition the bristles with a few drops of olive or coconut oil.
3. Place your brushes upside down to dry. This will keep them fluffy. (Click HERE for a whole post I wrote about drying your brushes)
4. Store your brushes vertically to prevent the bristles from getting harmed.

Every night I remove every stitch of makeup from off my face.
When I go to bed, there is not a single trace of the day’s beauty products left on my skin. I generally have used Dove soap to clean my face and coconut oil to remove my waterproof makeup. With a bit of work in the eye area, it has worked really well for me.
About two months ago, I decided to give this Ponds cold cream cleanser a try. At only $5 USD for 6.1 oz/172g, I figured I couldn’t really go wrong at least trying it out.
Where has this cleanser been all my makeup wearing life?!
The first time I tried it, it felt a bit strange…it’s thick and feels a little greasy as it rubs into the skin. As I rubbed it in, my makeup literally melted right off my face! No scrubbing, no rubbing, just wiped right off!
I use a damped old face cloth to wipe off the cream from my face and then rinse my face with warm water. After rinsing off my face, it immediately felts softer.
This is the make up I was wearing during the day. This is how easily my water proof makeup wiped off.
On the days that I wear makeup, I use it as both my makeup remover and face wash. After a few weeks of consistent nightly use, my skin started looking better than it has in years! I am hooked! No wonder this cream has been around for 150 years.
What does this cream cleanser smell like you ask? One word: Nostalgia. As soon as I opened it I immediately thought of when I was a little girl and used to try out all of my grandmother’s beauty products. (Sneaking out of her bathroom, I totally thought that no one would notice my overly blushed sparkling rosy cheeks. Who was I kidding?!)

As you may recall, I subscribed to Ipsy for over two years. (How could you not recall since I wrote about my glam bags every month 😉) I really looked forward to trying out the samples and loved getting my pink shiny envelope in the mail each month.
After a lot of going back and forth, I decided that I wanted to move on to something different. While I have really enjoyed so many of the samples that I received over the last few years, I felt as if I was getting bored with them, while also feeling overwhelmed with too many small sample products to try. I am ready for change!
I went back and forth between getting a subscription for Boxy Charm or Glossy Box. Both boxes are $21 per month. Both boxes seem to have deluxe and full-size samples.
From the research I did, Glossy Boxes has more skin care and deluxe samples, whereas Boxy Charm seems to have more makeup related items and full-size product.
I definitely prefer makeup and full-size products, but on the other hand, it is nice to be able to try out new skincare products that I might not ever try otherwise. It was a tough decision.
Boxycharm seemed to be the way to go. According to the website, Boxy Charm always has 4-5 full sized items and claims that each box has a value of $100 or more.
So while this is my last month getting ipsy, I have finally I signed up for a subscription to Boxy Charm. For now, I am only planning on getting Boxy Charm for three months. We’ll see how things go.
Up until now, I was on the “waiting list” but received an email letting me know that I’ll be getting the August box. I already saw a sneak peek of a few of the things that are in the August box and I am soooooo excited for what is coming in this month’s Boxycharm.
Stay tuned for a post when I get the box in a few weeks!
Do you get BoxyCharm? Do you get any other monthly subscription bags/boxes that are worth trying out? Let me know in the comments below.

Forgiveness: The prisoner that it really frees is you!
1 John 1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Matthew 6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Luke 17:3-4Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
“Forgiveness”
Matthew West
It’s the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those that don’t deserve
It’s the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just too real
It takes everything you have just to say the word…
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It’s always anger’s own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It’s the whisper in your ear saying ‘Set It Free’
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness
It’ll clear the bitterness away It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what it’s power can do
So, let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness
I want to finally set it free
So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Help me now to give what You gave to me
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Show me how to love the unlovable! Show me how to reach the unreachable! Help me now to do the impossible! Forgiveness!
