Pumpkin Pie Dip

  Hey y'all! With all of the holidays coming up, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, you'll probably have a few get-togethers to attend, and you'll probably need/want to bring something to share with everyone. That's where my favorite dip comes in, Pumpkin Pie Dip. It's so delicious, easy, and only 3 ingredients. I'm not sure if I should actually call it a recipe since it's so easy, but I think I will.

Ingredients:

• Cool Whip ( You can use fat free or sugar free, but I used the original )
• Canned Pumpkin Pie Mix 15 oz. ( I could only find the 30 oz. can so I just used half )
•  Instant Vanilla Pudding (Again you can use the sugar free, but I used the original )

  Take all of your ingredients in a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. Make sure your cool whip is completely thawed, if you forgot to thaw it in the refrigerator you can just thaw it in the microwave. Once mixed allow to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. That's it. Serve it with ginger snaps, pretzel sticks, pretzel crackers, vanilla wafers, or apple slices. It's the perfect appetizer for Thanksgiving, snack for last minute company, or do like I did and make it for your child's birthday party. Happy eating y'all!

My Avon Favorites

   Hey y'all! I hope everyone's day is off to a good start. I thought I'd share with y'all just a few of my favorite make-up and skincare products I use from Avon.

• Anew Vitale Day Cream

 
 I use this day cream every morning after my facial cleanser ( which is the same brand ) all over my face, neck, and décolletage. It's light and creamy, not sticky, and helps even out your skintone and improves clarity. It has SPF 25, oil-free, allergy-tested and dermatologist-tested, and immediately boosts your skin's hydration by 178%. All of the Anew moisturizers are on sale for 2 for $30 by the way.

• Avon Nailwear Pro+

  I painted my toenails with this nail polish 2 weeks ago and it's still in tact, so you could say it's super durable. It increases nail strength by 80%, high shine resists dings and nicks, no formaldehyde, toluene or phthalates. This shade is pastel pink in crème finish. It comes in 20 different colors and 4 different finishes, and it's on sale for $3.49.

• Beyond Color Lipstick

  This shade is called Divine Wine. It's the perfect shade for Fall. It has a satin finish, light to full coverage, very moisturizing, contains Retinex Color Complex (a dual plumping formula that leaves lips looking plumper and fuller), in just 2 weeks, reduces lip dryness by 90% and increases lip plumping by 35&, formula with Retinol retexturizes lips, boosts moisture by 115% after 4 hours, 62% after 8 hours, and has SPF 15. You can now get two of these lipsticks for $7.99.

• Anew Clinical Eye Lift Pro Dual Eye System

  And last but not least, this dual eye system. I love it. It says to use it twice daily, but I only use it every night before bed. It feels tingly when you put it on, which I love. The gel goes all over your lid up to the browbone, and the cream goes under the eye and on the high part of your cheekbone. It makes your eyes looks wide awake, noticeably reducing sagging skin and crow's feet. It infused with Injectable-grade arginine* and firming Polymer. It's suitable for sensitive skin, is, hypoallergenic, allergy-tested, dermatologist-tested, and ophthalmologist-tested. You should see results in 7 days. All of the Anew Clinical products are on sale for buy one get one for $5 right now.

Also heads up on the coupon codes and sales I have going on in my Avon eStore this week!

  Any of these free gifts with purchase would make the perfect gift for Christmas! Thanks for reading y'all!

Fall Decor For Less

   Hey y'all! I hope everyone is enjoying all that Autumn (or Fall) has to offer. From the gorgeous floliage to the abundance of all things pumpkin, there's so many reasons to smile. Well today I bring you something that will make your wallet smile. I'm just being funny, wallets don't smile. But you will with all the money you'll save on decorating for Fall this year. Enough talking (or typing) here's a little budget friendly Fall décor inspiration for y'all!

Leaf icon isn't part of the décor, it's just for privacy!

 Other than the pictures and the actual vases, everything on this buffet is from the Dollar Tree! I simply put one strand of leaf garland in each vase, then I put a few packages of mini gourds and a few packages of the loose leaves in front of the vases and frames.

 Here is what I did with the mantle this year. I used 3 strands of the leaf garland, about 7 pumpkins (orange, green, and burlap), and then a few packages of mini gourds to make it appear a little fuller. The white fox and owl were $3 each from the Target dollar spot, love that place! The squirrel is from Home Goods, and the painting is from Kirklands. Everything else was from Dollar Tree. Odds are if you ask me where I got something that's seasonal in my home I'll say Dollar Tree or Target.

  And last but not least, if you happen to have any uncarved pumpkins hanging around and wanna make use of them here's a really simple DIY. I made this at a friend's pumpkin carving recently. All I did was put polka dots on the pumpkin in acrylic paint with a small paint brush. It took about 30 to 40 minutes to dry. I don't know if you can tell but the colors are peach, blue, and gold.

  I hope this is helpful and y'all make the point to soak in every last minute we have of Autumn, happy decorating!
