This trip we made to Charlotte was a good one, we got to see family members we hadn't seen in over three years, and my mom got to go there too. She was able to spend my birthday with me and visit a new city. Another good thing about being there was that I was able to receive the December box from a new company run by Holly and her husband Clint, called The Story Box . I was introduced to it thanks to Allison from Because I Said So . What is The Story Box? If you love reading and want to pass it on to your children, you will love The Story Box. It is a subscription box that delivers quality children's books to your house once a month. Mine was sent out on Dec 21 and I received it on the 28th, it was kind of like a birthday present, but focused more on Avi. Their boxes are appropriate for children ranging in age from 1-year old to about 7-years old. Everyone gets the same box. However, the first box a customer gets will include a special guide that discusses h...

As you may now, in December I decided to go blonde (and short). It took me a long time to finally agree to do this, I decided I would grow out my hair last June, and I did, I was able to cut off 25 cm   (10 inches)  and donate them (in two braids since I have a lot). Soon after I cut and dyed it I started looking for the best color preserving shampoo,   I had previously seen Helene's  Blonde Hair without the Salon  post and bought the i tems she recommended from the John Frieda sheer blonde collection, and was really liking them. -  Sheer Blonde Everlasting Blonde  Color  Preserving Shampoo - Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner - Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray I had been using them since December to keep my blonde-ness going, but recently Influenster recommended I try the  Dessange Paris California Blonde collection by sending me the J'adore Dessange Voxbox filled wit...

Loft bed with a slide can be translated to  Hochbett mit Rutsche. To continue on with reviewing the furniture pieces that we've bought I will review the loft bed (with slide) that we bought for Avi's room. These are somewhat common here due to the lack of space in most apartments.  We were excited for the fact that Avi finally has her own room, and while searching for a bed for her we were leaning towards a high bed and thought the one with a slide would be fun. so after looking in to it we decided to buy this " Spielbett Hochbett - Marco - Kiefer Massiv - Weiss mit Rutsche+Rollrost"  via  Amazon .  it's fun! We were a little skeptical about the slide, since the ones at the stores don't allow kids to climb them and we weren't sure how fast she would slide. After setting it up she tried it out and with no surprise we found out it does go pretty fast, but in the end we found a way to make it work. ;) Characteristics: It is made of...

My favorite room in the house, my this is a tough one, right now it has to be the living room, since it is so spacious, but we have yet to fill it.  I've decided I will be reviewing the furniture we've recently bought for our house in Kaiserslautern, just because some of the items we've bought are worth it, it took us a long time to decide and well, this might save someone the trouble in the future.  So far we have 5 major pieces of furniture and the rest will be bought within the next couple of months. It took us a while to decide what to buy first, we went over our budget and prioritized. We still have a lot of items on our list, and will be buying them little by title each month.  Aft er many trips to different furniture stores including the local POCO and Möbel Fundgrübe, we purchased a substitute for an item on the top of  our list. Since the dining room table is not top priority, we bought a temporary one. The kitche...

I have so much to do around the house, and I need help organizing my time, ahh! any tips?  I received my viva voxbox around last week, but I hadn't had the chance of reviewing it yet.  If you're here, its probably not the first time you hear about influenster, but you can read more about it my previous posts for the Paradise VoxBox and Rose VoxBox .

Hallo liebe,  letzte woche habe ich neu makeup gekaut. ich freue mich sehr... and I don't know if that's right, so I will be continuing this post in english;  I bought some new make up last week and during the next couple of weeks I will be trying out and reviewing my new make up, I had been looking for a lipstick, and while searching for a good one I decided that I needed more than that, so I decided to buy me a whole set of make up. ANGELIC BEAUTY GLAM UP (Make-up) SET  from Douglas. So far I've only used the pink palette  and one of the lipsticks. The eye shadow stays on, and is not too light, I liked that, I hope they're all the same, I'm specially excited to try a smoky eye with the dark ones! What lipstick do you recommend? Diana,  ❤

so on Dec 19th I applied to test a Garnier BB Cream, and I received this email:  Hallo Diana, vielen Dank für Ihre Produkt-Bestellung für den Produkttest "Garnier  BB  Cream". Wir prüfen in den nächsten Tagen, ob die von Ihnen bestellte Produktvariante noch verfügbar ist und melden uns mit einer Bestätigung oder Absage per E-Mail bei Ihnen zurück. Liebe Grüße, Ihr Entdecke Garnier Team which basically says we will check if we have anymore of the products and either confirm or reject your product order. & then on Jan. 9th I received confirmation that I would be receiving my product for testing purposes.  I was to review this product and by doing so would receive a small thank you "Garnier BB Cream Eye Roll-On" but stupid me forgot to do the review online until it was past the deadline so I  didn't  receive the eye roll on. :/ vielleicht nächstes mal. Mein Fazit: erstmal ich muss sagen, Sie lässt sich leicht und ohne...

I don't think anyone is reading this, so I'm just typing away in case influenster is interested in reading my post about my most recent VOXBOX!!    One day as I got home my mom called me over and let me know I had received a big orange box from Influenster, yay!!  I was very excited since I had heard via twitter and Facebook that it is supposed to be very relaxing  and soothing.  This is the second box I receive, I didn't blog about the first one since I received it last year, during the holidays and I wasn't into blogging back then.
