Cupcake Polish: Los Angeles

Good afternoon loves!  Boy oh boy do I have a treat for you today!  From the amazing Cupcake Polish we have Los Angeles, a hot pink MEGA holo.  Cupcake Polish is a newer to me indie brand who has become one of THE names in holo polish.  Los Angeles is from her American Beauty collection, which features six gorgeous holo shades.  Los Angeles was top of my list when I saw swatches, but unfortunately I had found this amazing brand right after a restock, so I had to be patient, not my strong suit.  When I nabbed this beauty I was ridiculously excited and couldn't wait for it to arrive.  When I opened the box my jaw literally dropped; I just held it in my hand and stared for awhile...totally normal right?!

Tea Cleanse!

Good evening loves! So today I have a real treat for y'all, a review of the AMAZING YourTea TinyTea 28-day Detox.  This tea has received rave reviews from just about every fitness and health guru in the business and it's no wonder because this stuff WORKS!  I did a cleanse back in October and I lost about 5lbs and tons of water weight.  I know that doesn't seem like a lot of pounds lost, but it was in stubborn areas where I otherwise would not have been able to get rid of it.  Another great effect of this tea is that it made my skin literally GLOW!  I'm very fortunate to have skin that behaves itself most of the time, but it's combination, so keeping a balance can be a challenge from time to time.  TinyTea also kept my energy level up and I did not feel the need to reach for the coffee during my afternoon slump.

Even with all the great benefits I listed, I think the greatest thing about TinyTea is that it's so easy to use.  All the bags are the same, so there's no AM and PM teas like in other cleanses.  All you do is brew one bag three times a day and wait 1/2 hour after drinking to eat.  This tea is also very gentle on your system.  Most other cleanses (as I mentioned) have a PM tea, which is generally a laxative tea.  In my experience these laxative teas love to kick in at the worst possible moments i.e. when I'm stuck in traffic or there's not a bathroom nearby.  TinyTea is incredibly gentle and cleanses your body in the best and most healthy way.

This tea is incredibly popular and sells out quickly when it does become available, so I would follow YourTea on Instagram (@yourtea), on Facebook, and sign up for their newsletter at www.yourtea.com for stock updates, specials, blog articles, and so much more!  The TinyTea is currently in stock and sells for $30 for the 14-day detox and $50 for the 28-day detox; TinyTea can be purchase HERE.  I just ordered my second 28-day to bounce back from the holidays), so I will keep you all updated on how it goes!

New Year, New Blog

Happy New Year!

I decided this evening, January 1st, 2014 that I would finally commit to my blog writing.  I love to write and for my small business I need to learn to write in a more relatable, less corporate kind of way.  To give you a little background on me, my name is Samantha (yes I go by Sam) and I'm a 27 year old entrepreneur.  I currently live in the Philadelphia suburbs with my amazing fiance, Jon; we are set to get married on June 28th of this year and we could not be more excited!  Unfortunately y'all will have to put up with quite a few posts about the wedding, but I will try to keep them as interesting as possible!  I graduated from Drexel University in 2010 with a degree in accounting; I'm taking a stab at the CPA once the wedding is over, so things might get a little quiet around then, but I will try to post as often as possible.  I currently work with my mom in our family business, The Numbers Divas, where we specialize in bookkeeping and business coaching for small businesses.  I absolutely love my job and helping fellow small business owners achieve their dreams!

Even though I love to write, I have to say my first love in this world has been fashion and beauty.  I love dressing up and feeling glamorous, but let's be real who doesn't?!  The beauty and fashion stories are going to be quite varied and include everything from high-end to bargain bin to the latest handbags and even a load of nail swatches and nail art.  I am always looking for suggestions and feedback, so please feel free to message me or leave a comment for post requests and any ways you think I can improve the blog.

 I also place great value on being healthy and living a healthy lifestyle, which plays into one of my resolutions for 2014, to compete in a BPC competition without embarrassing myself.  I've always loved working out, but healthy eating had always been lagging for me.  Over the past year I have fallen in love with healthy eating an it's become almost like a game for me to make something that tastes amazing, yet is completely healthy and clean for my body.  Posts in this area will include workouts, recipes, fitness gear, and so much more!

I know at this point I'm basically writing this to myself, but I'm beyond excited and anyone who wants to come along on this journey is most welcome and appreciated.  Here's to an amazing 2014!
