Music Monday

To Pandora or to Spotify.

I am here to share my thoughts.

I love music and having a quiet night will always be accompanied by tunes. I have both apps on my iPhone and iPad but there is one I've chosen over the other.

Spotify is the winner!

I've chosen Spotify for one important reason, there's a free version and it remains free no matter how long I listen. I have maxed my Pandora and been told to pay but Spotify hasn't done that yet.

If it remains free, Spotify will be my go to music app.

So what's your favorite? Is there another music app I don't know about?

 

High Five For Friday: Holiday Vox Box Edition!

Welcome to High Five For Friday! I am always a happy camper on Friday, even though I have to work tomorrow (boohoo.) I would love to introduce you to Influenster, which is a fun website to fill out surveys and possibly receive goodies to try out. My favorite part is that joining is free. My least favorite part is that you don't always receive a box of goodies. I would definitely recommend joining the site because it is a lot of fun. If you need an invite, please comment below and I'll send it to you. I asked Influenster and they let me in. How nice of them! This was my first box and I was ridiculously excited! I immediately checked it in the site and instagrammed all my goodies! Let me show you everything. First up is the brush from Goody:

The absorbent Microfiber Bristles do an efficient job of drying my hair. I am not a big fan of hair dryers and using this brush helped my hair feel dry enough to not need the blow dryer. It works well and I would say the 30% dry faster is an accurate description.

Next is the E Boost:

I immediately enjoyed this yummy flavor until the last few sips. Those last few sips were just not the same as the beginning. Maybe I made it wrong (which is very hard to believe.) Jillian Micheals is on the website, so this is probably really healthy stuff.

Next is the Lipshine from NYC:

I love it! Its not sticky! Its nice and shiny! It keeps my lips moisturized. This is a good color for anyone: Nude York City. I might want to get some other colors of this product.

Next is coupons (I'd say coupon but it doesn't sound right here):

This is a coupon for a discount of off shoes. I love shoes and am deciding whether to use it or not. I need more time in the day to browse. I am forever browsing and rarely actually buying. This could be a problem but then again its not a problem (poor checkbook doesn't see enough coming in.)

I have yet to try the next two products but I'm planning on it soon. I need a spa day for the mask and the nails (not pictured yet.) I am sure the oatmeal is good but I haven't had this flavor yet.

I can't wait to get these cuties on my nails from Kiss!

It is time to link up for the Secret Santa Swap! I received the sweetest package from Sharee' at Mom Fitting It All In. I sent some goodies to Kristen at The Wright Stuff.

Below are my goodies from Sharee':

This will be framed

 Didn't survive the trip :(

 Super cute spoon!

Thanks to Paige at Eloping Stethoscope and Katlyn at The Dreamy Meadow for organizing the entire swap!

I am linking up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk. Please stay tuned for Silly Saturday: Christmas Edition.

Healthy Choices

Today’s rating is Positive.

I made some healthy choices today. First I spent some time planning with a health coach. I got this service for free from work. I always take whatever is free especially when I need it. After that, I went to the gym and met with a personal trainer. I am excited to see the progress I will get from the extra help.

One of the important issues to watch out for is stress. I read in The 24 Hour Customer that a stressed individual will have a more difficult time making decisions and rely more on the routine function side of the brain. How can we be expected to make healthy choices when we are living with bad habits?

Today, I made some goals. I plan on finding some new friends, find a new job, and get more fit. These are some big goals but I know if I can keep my focus, I will be successful.
