Monopoly Game Night!

I love Monopoly! Everyone loves monopoly. Sometimes it can be a little long and confusing for the little ones to play but Monopoly Junior is a great one to have for the younger ones in the house. When I got chosen for this voxbox from Influenster I was really excited, so was my little brother. The first two games we played he beat me!  The rules for Monopoly Junior are much simplified and games end fast.  However I will be introducing some harder modified rules later so we can have even more fun.  I love that we get to play with "money" and he gets to practice his math.  It allows for some fun learning.

As a kid, Hasbro board games have always played a big role in my childhood.  Games like Jenga, Scrabble, and Guess Who are very nostalgic of my younger self.  Now my brother can have this memory as well! I think board games are so important in the development of social skills, even basic math and techniques

Here he is with the game.  

Have you played monopoly? Do your family/friends get really into it? One time my friends got so mad they didn't talk to each other for a week!

It's Remembrance day on Tuesday in Canada.  Will you be attending any ceremonies this weekend?  I was actually a flag bearer in my school's ceremony.

Longer Lashes with Mia Adora 3D Fiber Lashes

I've been blessed with short limpy lashes and no mascara seems to work on them.  Voluminous mascaras are too heavy and weigh my lashes down, lengthening mascaras aren't noticeable.  Needless to say when I got the opportunity to review these 3D fiber lashes by Mia Adora I was very excited!


I'm sure you've heard of fiber lashes but basically they're little fibers you apply on your eyelashes so that mascara clings onto them and make them appear fuller and longer.

This 3-step mascara kit claims to magnify lashes up to 300% without glue or falsies.  It also comes with an ebook manual on how to fully optimize this product.  One thing is that it claims to be water resistant but it says to remove you use warm water...

The application process is very simple, first apply the magnifying gel so the fibers have something to stick to, apply the fibers, and then lock them in with the magnifying gel.

Anyway, here are my before and after results.

Have you ever used fiber lashes? Do you prefer them to falsies or even your favourite mascara? 
Have a great day!!
