Life at Peonies House

This is a really late post/review for my Play! By Sephora box. I apologize but I have been swamped. School & life have been getting in the way. Adulting... amirite?(insert side eye) My first box arrived September 16. The second box arrived October 17. (I will be uploading the October box in a separate post) September box review: I was excited to open it, even though it's not an actual mystery box. (I also saw many posts spoiling the box contents) My favorite product is the perfume sample (of course, since I'm currently obsessed with perfume samples) check my searching for the perfect scent post here . The Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumnizing Fiber Gel is also something fun for me to try. Since my eyebrows are light & thin. This is definitely a product I could be interested on in the future. All in all, I was content with the box. Although I'm starting to think that I may only keep the subscription for 2 more months. I'm not entirely sure yet. We shal...

Why am I going through all this, if I don't even know what major I will be getting into. Once I transfer into the University, I have no idea what I will be majoring in. It's a decision...

One of my favorite holidays is approaching. & I'm beyond excited... My son's birthday is coming up and Halloween time means dress up time. By the way, my sons due date was originally October 31st!!! How awesome is that! (Maybe that's why he's into monster shows and ugly characters.) October is also the birth month for a few friends and family members, which means party time! Here are a few pictures from our costumes from Halloween 2016. My darling & I were lumber jacks. 😁😁 I was a male lumber Jack, not a lumber Jane. (Or whatever the female version of a lumber Jack is) It was so much fun wearing the costume. & very easy to recreate!!  All rights reserved to this image. I purchased the beard from The Spirit store. Can be found here . My flannel shirt is from Target. Regular jeans, boots, & beanie from my closet. Suspenders are from Walmart. All I had to do was make my eyebrows thicker. Apply my beard, (which is basically a sticker for yo...
