I'm a Winner. And you're jealous.

So, a few months ago I invited all my Facebook buddies to join the group, Gleegarden.com.  And if I didn't invite you by some huge mistake, I'm appalled and I apologize.  Because you are missing out.  And I allowed it.  My fantabulous friend Moriah is the creator/editor of Gleegarden.  And if you haven't checked it out, you need to.  Big time.  Because she's one of those people that just know about stuff.  Cool stuff.  Stuff that you'll try once and love and never go back to what you were using before.  It's a gift she's always had...and I was recently the recipient of the best gift ever.  A giveaway bag!  Filled with tons of stuff that I'm seriously loving right now.  

Well, I want you all to know that not only is this site fantastic, but you find out about new products that we just don't have access to.  Like, Benefit cosmetics.  Anyone ever use this stuff?  I love it, SO much...and I'm totally serious.  Pictured is an eye pencil that makes my eyes go from "staying-up-with-Jeff-till-the-wee-hours-of-the-morning" to "wide-open-and-my-staring-problem-is-now-even-more-obvious".  Which, despite the way it sounds, is a much better look for me.  Benefit also tells you how to wear it, gives tips on how to apply it, and all that important stuff.  Some people think that those kind of instructions are self-explanatory, but I'm one of those anal people that need to know I'm applying it correctly.  (Just in case I run into someone that really knows, and can tell that mine's wrong). I also got some samples of other things that I've been enjoying...and I've looked online to order more...for my birthday, from Jeff.  Cause he likes it when I look great.  And this stuff really helps.  ;)

This next stuff is soap that I'm loving.  It's all organic, and eco-friendly...and if that what was I was REALLY concerned with, I'd be a better person than I actually am.  However, my biggest love comes from the fact that it smells FANTASTIC.  Kind of light and sweet and it's not overpowering, but when occasionally I catch little whiffs of it throughout the day...it makes me happy.  And ALMOST makes me lift my arm and take a deep smell.  But I don't.  Because knowing my luck someone would see me do it. 

And, because she knows me so well, Moriah also added a couple of Preserve toothbrushes.  These are made out of recycled plastics--NOT toothbrushes, but things like yogurt cups and such.  And they're excellent. I like to think of myself as a bit of a toothbrush connoisseur, so take my word for it.   Anyway, these are something that aren't overly expensive, help save the earth, and (one of them) smells fantastic.  There are no downsides here.  

Everything was packaged lovingly in this tote.  Because Moriah's eye for detail never ceases to amaze and I love it.  For some reason this picture won't get bigger, even though it gives me the option.  Does anyone else have problems with the new blogger?  Anyway, I wanted to take pictures myself, and make them look nice, but my camera was being overly funky, and the lighting was all wrong.  I couldn't show how wonderfully pretty everything is--so you're getting the advertiser's hard work, instead of mine.    I just had to tell Moriah a big heartfelt, THANK YOU!!  Because I love presents, and I love having wonderful friends that think about me.  


Anyway, if you haven't checked her sight out?  Do it.  Some of the stuff may be more to your liking than others, but there is totally something for everyone.  Even guys.  


So, has anyone else used any of these products?  If so, let me know, and let me know your favorites...because I'm addicted.  And my birthday is just around the corner.  And you read what I said about presents, right?  ;)


Happy Tuesday!
