June and July Ipsy Bag/ Purple Smokey Eye

I got my July Ipsy bag today and got right to work creating a purple smokey eye with the www.bhcosmetics.com palette. It is a three color palette with a purple, shimmery light brown and a gold called California Collection.  The look turned out really pretty! I am going to try and film a YouTube tutorial soon and an Instagram step by step, so Stay Tuned!

If you are unsure about what an Ipsy bag is, it is a $10 monthly subscription of mostly makeup. It comes in a cute makeup bag every month and you get to try products before you buy the full size. Most of the makeup is full size but sometimes you will get samples of hair and skin products  I love getting it in he mail because I know I will love it. If you would like an invitation to Ipsy let me know and I will happily send you one! 

Here is my last months bag:

I am in love with the highlighter crayon! It blends so easy and is simple to use. The glitter cream is amazing and goes on very smooth. The blush gives you a very natural glow. If you know me well you know that I am addicted to dry shampoo so getting a travel size was awesome. I am not a huge fan of lip liner but I will admit the color is pretty but maybe a little bright for me (I know I love the glitter and I'm not so into the lip-liner).  Can you guess what my favorite part of the June bag was????? 

The Bag :)

I love animal print and I'm not afraid to say it!

If you have any questions or if you would like to see the eye tutorial too comment down below.

Black Bean Soup

Today I tried a new recipe thanks to my friend Rachael!! You're a genius Rach! She told me she was making Black Bean soup for dinner so I decided to be a copycat and make my own recipe. It sounded healthy and easy so I was all in. My family and guest loved this soup. We all had more!!

Lundi's Black Bean Soup

Ingredients:

• 32 ounces organic black beans ( i used canned reduced sodium since this was spur of the moment)
• 16 ounces organic corn 
• 8 ounces sliced organic carrots
• 8 ounces chopped celery ( i didn't have any)
• 1/4 of a large yellow onion 
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper 
• 1/2 to 1 tbsp cumin powder
• 1/4 tsp Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy (love this) *pic below
• 1/4 tsp McCormick Perfect Pinch Garlic Pepper (love this) *pic below
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 48 oz. container low sodium/reduced fat chicken broth
• 1 lb. ground turkey (as lean as you can find)
• 1 avocado sliced for toppings
• Salt to taste

Other topping Ideas:

• Fat free/Low Fat shredded cheese
• Fat free plain Greek yogurt
• Fat free sour cream
• Green Onion
• Siracha sauce or other hot sauce
• Jalapenos

Brown turkey meat with the onion. When it is completely browned add in the broth. Make sure you rinse the black beans if you are using canned. Now add all the beans, carrots, and corn. Next you will add in your seasonings and give it a taste to see if it is how you want it. Season to taste and let it low boil for 20 min then turn to low for an additional 15-20 minutes. When finished add a little bit of avocado to the top before serving. I also had a french loaf for dipping. It was so delicious!!! 

Side notes: I wish I would have had celery because that would've been a tasty addition :) 

If you are using dry beans, you have to follow the package instructions for those beans before you can follow my recipe :)

I was thinking that you could use a taco seasoning packet instead of the other seasoning I have listed. 

Let me know what you think!!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

I am now a member of Influenster!

From the website: "Influenster is a free -to-join community of invited trendsetters who live to give opinions of products and experiences".

I recently came across Influenster while surfing the internet. I quickly filled out an application to be a member and was excited when I got an invite two days later! My first program is to test, review and talk about: Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Shield Mouthwash, with 12 hour protection against germs.  The bottle came in the mail today. I got the email Wednesday July 3rd and the box arrived today! That is crazy fast.

The description says:

• Kills 99% of germs
• Significantly reduces plaque
• Helps prevent gingivitis
• No burn of alcohol
• Freshens breath

The flavor I received is called Peppermint Blast. It is a clean and minty taste. It did not burn my mouth like other mouthwashes I've used in the past. My breath also doesn't feel overpowering which I love. My mouth still feels fresh and clean after 15 minutes, I'm loving this!!

Try it out and let me know what you think!
