Pur Bliss

I was recently selected by Influenster to try the Pūr Ultimate 11 cup pitcher.





I am one that has two children that thankfully love water and drink it all day...one thing they do not like? Water that gets warm, so I spend a lot of my putting ice in their cups. This pitcher alleviated me having to do that, so that was a nice plus. The kids didn't complain about the taste, so another plus for Pūr.

The filter removes 95% of mercury and reduces chlorine. All this improves tap water taste, because like my children? I also can not stand to drink tap water that taste funky.

Getting the filter in the pitcher set up was pretty easy and I didn't have any issues. Once the filter is in, the pitcher does gain a bit of weight and then adding the water makes it even more heavy. I found that after filling it twice I had to use two hands to pour, which wasn't ideal. I suppose I could just fill it once to make it easier but I like having a substantial amount so I don't have to stop and refill. It comes with a light to let you know when it is time to replace the filter.

This pitcher is similar in size and shape to others on the market and while I like the convenience of cold water in the fridge I did not like how much room it actually took up.





We have our refrigerator set up at certain heights for the thing we normally buy and store and the pitcher presented problems. I would have had to reorganize things in order for its placement to not be obtrusive.

All in all the Pur pitcher was a great convenience for good tasting water but the size is a big con for our family. Also the thought of buying and keeping up filters more than once a year can be daunting.

Influenster, YSL and Moi

I am a member of Influenster and had the honor of receiving a much coveted VoxBox containing a YSL mascara! The mascara is their Yves Saint Laurent MASCARA VOLUME EFFET FAUX CILS.







I am a minimal makeup user but as I have started getting older and fine lines have begun to crop up I have decided I needed to step up my routine. As in actually wearing makeup daily. But with this comes a bit of trial and error and because of have sensitive eyes, not all mascara's are created equal.

I usually curl my lashes and put on a clear coat of mascara and call it a day. I even messed around with faux lashes but could never do it quite right. A friend suggested the Younique 3-d mascara and I hated it after a few weeks. Too clumpy, too messy and not the look I needed.

I had the opportunity to get some Latisse and that has done wonder for my lashes. But there a days you still want that va-va-voom. And I believe YSL has done it. Here is some photo proof:

Eye without mascara.

This is one coat of YSL

Most days one coat is all I will need. But the best part? My eyes did not get hurt or red, even when I accidentally rubbed my eye. But the YSL didn't bother me at all. Of course with an iconic brand like YSL, you know they do things right. The formula has B5 vitamin to strengthen the lash. I truly like how I did not end up with a racoon eye at the end of the night. The price of the mascara is about 32$, which is pricey, especially if you are coming from buying at the drugstore but I feel for such a brand and the job it did, it is worth it.
