Schoola, BeautyKind, Ice Cream!

Today I finally got some long awaited deliveries, including a new skirt from Schoola. The first one I had ordered, a Dockers brand product, was kind of oddly cut for my style and desires. The one I received today, however, was much nicer and very cute (looks new). It's almost vintage style, and it makes me wish I could wear heels just to buy a red pair to go with it... it's all about that pop of red with vintage style I think. I really have never tried to pull something like that off! I really do love Schoola because it's a good cause, but I also am very happy to get free items from them through their incentives program. Please use my affiliate link to join and purchase products - we will BOTH get free credit on their site for your initial purchases!

My first BeautyKind order finally came; this website is a similar idea as Schoola, except you get to pick your charity (Schoola donates to random schools depending on what item you buy). I picked the Juvenile Diabetes Research organization, and I got a $50 credit on my first purchase at this website, too. They sell designer body care products, and I spent $10 of my own money to receive my $60 bottle of Chocolat perfume. I kind of like it; it's a different fragrance and could work on men or women I think. I'm going to try and get a shower tonight and maybe use a bit afterwards to smell a little special (hehe).

My new ice cream maker. Worked like a charm.

I finally was able to make my first batch of ice cream tonight at home with my new Hamilton Beach ice cream maker. It worked great!!! I made chocolate mint flavored ice cream that is low carb; all I used was heavy cream, Swerve, cacao powder, mint extract, vanilla extract, and a little salt. It is SOOOO good. The girls and I ate almost the entire batch immediately; Amelia was especially fond of my concoction. I will surely be doing this on a regular basis in the near future (except that buying that much cream is expensive). I have a good variety of extracts on hand for the sake of making tons of different ice creams!

Yeah, it's pretty soft here; I was very impatient.

There was no more waiting to be had, I needed this in my life.

I had a couple of new campaign qualifier sureys on BzzAgent today, so I am hoping to join a new campaign soon. One was for coffee and tea, so I am SUPER hopeful on that one! I love my coffee maker and it makes great tea, too; I definitely would love to do that campaign! I've had a few new "Snaps" on Influenster (their version of qualifier surveys), so I hope to see myself doing something new for them too (I did get in on a Virtual Vox, but I wish they'd give us coupons for the product instead of making us buy our own products out of pocket).

Keep it freebie! Sign up for some of the sites I use; they are GREAT networking sites and actually help you make new contacts on social media platforms (I have people liking my pins a lot on Pinterest because of my VoxBox tasks).
