100 Greatest Matches (WWE)

Hey there!

I want to keep this intro pretty short, so here's the scoop.  I recently bought 100 Greatest Matches, which lists (you guessed it) the "best" matches in WWE history.  Since this is someone's opinion, and there's no doubt that Vince decided which matches would be featured in the book, take it with a grain of salt.  Either way, I plan on watching all the matches (eventually), and I want to keep track of everything on here.

I'm stealing an idea from Corey (check out Rassle Tribune here!)- I'm going to rate each match on a scale of * to ***** stars.  Although I'm still fairly new to the business, I want to start reviewing matches, even if I just give them a rating and write a few short sentences about each one.  We'll see how it goes :)

Quick note- these matches aren't in any partiuclar order, I just have them numbered in order to keep it more organized.  The only thing the book specifies is that the first match (Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat) is the number one match.  Otherwise, I don't think they're ranked.  The matches range from the 70s to 2015.
----------

Honestly, my all-time favorite match has to be from last Monday night (August 29, 2016).  The Fata 4- Way on RAW was absolutely insane, and it could not have been any better.  Seriously, even though Rollins isn't the Universal Champion and it sucks that Finn's hurt, I'm glad KO holds the title.  Also, I've really been a Triple H fan, but I definitely marked out when he Pedigreed everyone.  Yes, that includes Rollins, even though he's my top guy.

Thanks for checking out this post!  Leave me a comment letting me know what your all-time favorite match is, or the best one you've seen.  It doesn't have to be a WWE match.  Let's be honest- there are tons of awesome indie companies out there :)

Revive VoxBox Unboxing

Hi!

If you've been following me for awhile (if you're new, welcome!), you know that I'm an Influenster.  That means that I receive products complimentary to test for review purposes.  If you want to know more about the program, check out their website!

Anyway, my Revive VoxBox came in the mail today.  I honestly had no idea what was in the box (I somehow avoided the spoilers this time around), so, of course, I had to open it right away!  Let's go ahead and get into the review before I start rambling haha

DISCLAIMER: I received these products complimentary for review purposes.  This is not a sponsored post, and all opinions are my own.



This VoxBox included a coupon for The Vitamin Shoppe (10% off one purchase); a Body Tech water bottle; 3 protein powders; Hills Bros., Chock Full o'Nuts, and Kauai Coffee compostable coffee pods; SheaMoisture shampoo and conditioner; and SnackWell's cookies.

Body Tech Bottle ($??) 


The information card I received in my box didn't include anything about this water bottle, so I'm not really sure what it retails for, or where it's from.  But, it's a pretty awesome!

Compstable Coffee Pods ($6.99 per 12ct carton)


"Innovative single serve pods from Hills Bros., Chock Full o'Nuts, and Kauai Coffee brew delicious coffee by the cup in K-Cup style brewers.  And because they are certified 100% compostable, these single serve pods are better for the environment- they go back to the land, not the landfill."

SheaMoisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse  ($10.99 per 13 oz. bottle)


"This rich, sulfate-free shampoo gently cleanses and hydrates hair weightlessly, Certified organic shea butter and coconut water blend with our proprietary fusion of dragon fruit, lychee berry, and green apple extracts to nourish and energize lifeless hair."

"This lightweight conditioner softens hair, while revitalizing natural waves and curls that need to boost.  Certified organic shea butter and coconut water blend with our proprietary fusion of dragon fruit, lychee berry, and green apple extracts to nourish and energize lifeless hair.  Leaves hair touchably soft and shiny."

SnackWell's Biscuit Thins ($2.98 - $3.96)

"SnackWells' Biscuit Thins are a good source of protein and fiber, are made with real coffee, and are free from high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oil.
          - 24g of 100% whole grains and only 8g of fat per serving.

Obviously, I haven't tried out any of these products yet.  As usual, I will post another blog with my final thoughts about each of the products within the next few weeks or so.  Make sure you check back for that post :)

Color Sensational Matte Liquids Final Thoughts

Hi!!

About a month ago, I received two shades from the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivd Matte Liquid lipsticks from Influenster. I wanted to update you guys about the product and share my final thoughts :)

Disclaimer- I received these products complimentary for testing purposes. All opinions, as always, are my own, and this is not a sponsored post. 




Shades: Rebel Red (top) and Nude Thrill (bottom)

Opacity: Like I said in my first impressions post, these are slightly steaky, but you can fix that problem by layering the product. These don't seem to get tacky or bunch up when you later then, so that's a plus! The red tends to be a bit more steaky than the nude. With two coats, I find these are opaque enough so that you can't see your natural lip color through them. 
Rating- 💜💜💜💜 out of 5

Texture: These have a mousse-like texture; they are not overlay drying on the lips, and actually add some moisture. Because they don't fully dry down to a matte finish (unless you blot your lips on a tissue), they do transfer pretty easily. Do not wear these if you plan on eating/ drink/ kissing. You will probably have to reapply throughout the day to keep them looking perfect. This is not my favorite texture, and I prefer to have a completely matte look if I'm wearing a liquid lipstick. That is a personal preference, and I can see a lot of people liking this texture more than most liquid lipsticks that dry completely matte. Being a teacher, I don't have a ton of time to reapply during the day, so that is a drawback for me personally. 
Rating- 💜💜💜 out of 5

Packing: I love that the tubes are clear and you can see exactly which color you're getting when you purchase them. These are sleek and adorable! It just looks nice and clean to me, which I appreciate. They're also compact and easy to take on the go!
Rating- 💜💜💜💜💜 out of 5

Applicator: I really do not like the shape of this applicator... It's very difficult for me to apply these in a nice clean line, and I found myself reaching for a lip liner when I was using the red shade. If you have fuller lips, you may enjoy this applicator; my lips are pretty thin, so it was tough for me to apply these evenly. I find that the applicator does not hold a lot of product, so I did have to dip back into the tube a few times while applying. 
Rating- 💜💜 out of 5

Wear time: With the more intense red shade, I got about 3 hours of wear time, where as the nude shade only lasted about 2 hours on my lips. I did eat and drink while wearing these, just to see how much they transferred. As I preciously mentioned, you will need to reapply after eating/ drinking. These are comfortable to wear, so that is a huge plus! Honestly though, I would sacrifice comfort for a longer wear time. 
Rating- 💜💜 out of 5

Overall: Honestly, I don't think I will be repurchasing these, mainly because they don't have a very long wear time, and they tend to transfer pretty easily. These are not the worst liquid lipsticks I have tried, but they're not the best either. I think these are better for people who want to try out a matte lipstick for the first time, and don't want to deal with the drying effect most liquid lipsticks tend to have. I will probably use these from time to time for a night out/ for a short period of time. 
Overall rating- 💜💜💜1/2 out of 5

Thanks for checking back and reading about my final thoughts on these liquid lipsticks! I'll see you again soon!

Lush Haul

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening!

I hope you are having an absolutely wonderful day/ night :)  I just wanted to give you a quick update before we get started with this haul.  I moved back to Florida a few days ago, and I received a job offer for a fifth grade math teaching position!  If I don't post anything for a few days, it's probably because I'm getting all my stuff transferred/ getting my teaching stuff in order- but hopefully I'll have more posts for you very soon!!  

When I moved back to Florida, one of the first things I did was visit the Lush store in the Town Center Mall (in Jacksonville).  Duh.  I'm addicted to Lush, and I may or may not have gone there two days in a row...  Anyway, I just wanted to show you what I got! Since I haven't used most of these products yet, this isn't going to include review for everything.  However, I'm planning on posting a blog with reviews for each of the products I picked up, so keep an eye out for that!  

I put links to the products you can buy online.  The only thing that you can't purchase online is the face mask... Unfortunately, you can only pick those up in-store.  Also, if you don't know about the recycling program at Lush, you should check it out!  AND, if you want to donate to a specific charity, they have Charity Pots you can purchase.

Ok, on to the haul!



----------
I didn't buy too many things this time around, but I will definitely be going back as soon as I get my first paycheck :D  Thanks for reading, and I'll talk to you again soon!  Keep an eye out for the review post about these items in the next few weeks or so :)

Furry Friend Tag

Hello!

I'm coming at you today with the Furry Friends tag.  I don't really remember how I found this (probably when I was binge watching YouTube videos late at night...), but if you want to answer the questions, I found them at this website.  Let's get started!
---------


  1. What is your pet's name?
    Charlee and Dany
  2. What kind of pet is he/she, and what breed?
    They are both little dogs- Charlee is a nine-pound miniature pincer (min-pin), and Dany is a three-pound Yorkshire terrier (yorkie).
  3. How long have you had your pet friend?
    I've had Charlee for almost 4 years, and I've had Dany for a little over a year.
  4. How did you get your pet?
    I adopted Charlee from a local animal shelter.  They said he was a stray, but he definitely had an owner and probably got out of the fence because he's so small.  Dany is also from a shelter, but she was an owner surrender.
  5. How old is your pet?
    Charlee is 6 years old and Dany is 2 years old.
  6. What are some quirky things about your pet's personality?
    No one is going to believe me unless you've heard her do it, but Dany purrs like a cat!  She was raised with a cat so I'm assuming she just learned how to imitate the noise from hearing the cat purr.  Charlee snores like a lawn mower even though he's so small!  Seriously, when he's dead asleep, he is so noisy... He also likes to burrow under blankets no matter how hot it is.
  7. What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?
    I've had dogs since I was born, so I'm definitely a dog person, and I can't see myself living without at least one dog.  Honestly, I cherish every second I have with my pups simply because their lives are so much shorter than ours.  I read a quote the other day that perfectly sums it up:
    "Dogs are just a part of your whole life, but you are their whole life."  I spoil Charlee and Dany like their my kids (and so does my mom!), so I would say my relationship with them is very important to me :)
  8. What are some of your favorite past times with your pet?
    Dany will play fetch for hours!  If you throw one of her toys, she'll bolt after it even if she's asleep or in another room.  Charlee likes to take naps and bark at the neighbor dogs.  He also likes lounging on the porch and being read aloud to (I told you, I spoil them).  They both love sunbathing.
  9. What are nicknames that you call your pet?
    Charlees has an alter ego, named Frank.  When he's hyper, or acting like a typical min-pin (shaking, whining, eyes bugging out of his head, etc.), we call him Frank.  I also call him Little Charles sometimes.  Dany's full name is Daenerys Targaryen (duh), but we also call her Mother of Dragons and Khaleesi.

----------
Thanks a ton for reading my random blog!  Hopefully I'll talk to you again very soon.
