SMOOTHIES IN DECEMBER?!

First let me start by saying; I have yet to use my blender I got for my Birthday.
I bought a mini blender with one speed for $17 at Target, partially as a gift. My Boyfriend loves it!
I try to get him as many healthy things that I can, because when I first met him,
He only wanted Mc'Donalds. 
Sense being with me, he now owns a juicer, mini blender, proper silverware, etc.
We opened it and used it as soon as we could.
We had 2 smoothies




First Smoothy:
we used Vitamin Water (Focus) as the liquid,
(Because he and I try to stay away from dairy products.)
Added Frozen Mango squares,
Mixed Berries consisting of, Strawberries, Blue Berries, and Raspberries,
And Added some Banana.

AMAZING!!!

Second Smoothy:
Vitamin Water (Focus) again
Banana
Strawberries

Very simple, but really classic, and yummy.
 Some people would think I'm crazy for drinking Smoothies in the Winter time.
What most people don't understand is that I live in Arizona.
Which means my winter can be Summer in most parts of the world. The coldest it gets is maybe under 40* degree's. If that.
I'm sorry for the people stuck in snow right now wishing they were me.
But for thin blooded people like myself 40* degree's is cold.
I'm just an odd person who likes eating ice cream when its cold, and drinking smoothies.
obviously I'm a weirdo.
I recommend this as a perfect (inexpensive) gift. for christmas.
Look for it at a local target, thats where I got mine
It Also promotes healthy life style choices.
Great for young kids (and safe to use), College teens/adults, teens in high school, and even Adults.
Heck I'm an Adult and I love it!
I found it easy to wash, and it only has one button, so its not intimidating.
I think the hardest part once you have it, is buying frozen fruit.


The actual name of the blender was called "Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender"
The one I got was in Simple black, but I know they come in different colors.

Where to find it/ Link

By the way, I'm not being paid by Target or Hamilton Beach Blender's.
Honestly, truly I am just a real person who loves her smoothies and I am not being endorsed.
These are my real true thoughts.
I hope at least one person will get this as a gift, if not a gift for someone else, then for them-selfes. 
This is really a great gift idea!!!!

Birthday Post

I know I haven't made a post this December. I am sorry. I've been trying to enjoy this time of the year. You know Christmassy time. One awesome thing bout the winter is that in my family we have mainly all birthdays in December!

I'm going to do a Birthday Haul, Even though I try to keep my birthday low key every year. Somehow my family always shows me I'm never low key and really important to them. If any of you read this I LOVE YOU!

I forgot to take a picture of what my sister got me, she surprised me at Work (boo who ever should have to work on there birthday, I'm sorry, I know it sucks) But she surprised me with a Starbucks drink, actually my favorite, which is a Vanilla bean with Raspberry Syrup, and a metal togo cup and straw.  If you like sweet things and want a cute girlie, but delicious drink try this drink!!! But she made my day :) Thank you sister.

This is what my amazing Step Mom and Dad got me, a body shop set all coconut! Yum my favorite. Comes with body scrub, body butter, shower cream, coconut soap, and a luffa.


My Mom got me this oh so soft and beautiful scarf made of bamboo! Decorated with flowers and swirly designs. But oh my gosh its made of Bamboo!!!!


I Got 2 Candles!!!! The one on the left was from a really close family friends, I call them Papa Jim and Mama Suzzie!!! Thank you guys if you're reading this! But its a Nutmeg and Vanille candle, By Seda France candle's, and oh gosh if I were a sent this would be it! The Candle on the Right was also from my mom its a Bridge Water Candle, Which I'm a bit obsessed with these candles. If you didn't know anytime someone buys a bridge water candle it feeds a child for a day, my candle here fed Lester.


My Bridge Water Candle sent is called Silent Night. Its the candle I'v been using to fall asleep to. Don't worry I always blow it out before I'm asleep. Pure bliss :)


Also my Step mom and Dad got me this cute little Turtle. Its a Christmas luck charm. Its also Supposed to bring me Christmas cheer threw out the season. Its so precious, I want to put a string on it and hang it from my car mirror.


This is so sweet. My Boyfriend actually got me this ring but couldn't wait till my birthday, so I'v been wearing it all December. Its an infinity ring. But its a thicker ring which I like, and it has hearts. I feel like its so wearable to any occasion. I'v even been wearing it to work and multiple people said they love it. He isn't great at getting gifts so I might have helped him pick it out.





I got roses for my birthday. I would usually say flowers are a waste of money but on my Birthday or special occasion I LOVE THEM!!! I got all white roses but one purple rose! As my Favorite color is purple this was beautiful. This wasn't just a bouquet of flowers from Mama Suzzie and Papa Jim. This was a sneaky way of giving me what I actually asked for "a Blender"!!!! What they did was put the flowers in the blender and made this present amazing! Thank you guys so much! This was a great surprise and made me so so happy.

My Grandma actually got me a few things from Estee Lauder, Love them all! She is one of the reasons why I have a make-up addiction. First Picture is of eye-shadows, love all the colors. Second is perfume which smells so good! Third is lipstick, I don't own many lipsticks, so its really nice to be adding it to part of my collection. The lipstick is super buttery and feels so nice on my lips.


I also got a few other things but as most of them were food and I ate them I cant really show you sorry.
Well I hope you enjoyed my birthday haul. if you want me to do a Christmas haul let me know.
I'll probably do one, but we shall see.

Happy Holidays
