Beauty Box Swap!

I have a special post of you all today {excuse the non-Motivational Monday Post}!  I participated in the Beauty Box Swap this past month hosted by the lovely Tiffany @ Blabbering Thoughts, Megan @ Absolute Mommy, & Andrea @ Shabby Kitteh,  So what is the Beauty Box Swap you ask?  Well, it is sort of like Birchbox or My Glam Bag but instead we are the ones putting together the goodies and sending them out.  Genius idea!  I decided to join in the fun!

I was lucky enough to receive goodies from the beautiful Heather @ Keeping up with the Giffords!  My first thought when I received the package is "What the heck, I don't remember having any family with the last name Giffords from {Anon. city in MA}?" Here's a little back story:  Remember earlier posts about my vacation when I said I went to Massachusetts?  Well, I was right outside of her city.  Actually, I have lots of family in her city and Fall River.  There is a ton of us loud, vibrant, and beautiful Portuguese people over there! haha!  Small world right?!

Then I remembered about the swap and realized that is what it was! I couldn't wait to rip this baby open!

And my goodness, this is even better than a Birchbox! Probably because it is full of things I love!

Heather gave me all types of goodies that a girl deserves!  2 AWESOME nail polishes, 2 BEAUTIFUL lip glosses, an E.L.F. all over color stick, a leopard print nail file & tweezers, and lastly my favorite type of gum!  How did you know?! You must be psychic!

I am most excited to try the E.L.F. All Over Color Stick and the Yes to Carrots C Me Shine lip gloss.  I have never tried either one of these and thing it might just be awesome!!

Thank you to Heather for the awesome Swap Gift.  Don't forget to check her out because now that I know where she lives I consider her family.  And we all support family right! =)

Fashion Friday - What I'm Traveling In

Hello Revolutioniers!  I've been on vacation for the past week so for this Fashion Friday I decided to dedicate it to what I wear when I travel.  We traveled from Maryland to Massachusetts for one day before making the rest of the way up to the beautiful east side of Maine! For me, I still want to be stylish and cozy when I am traveling!  It's a freakin' long ass drive from Maryland to Massachusetts {let alone Maine!}

First off, I wear very little make-up...meaning I only wear my cover up foundation, some tinted primer on my eyes, mascara and some gloss! That's it!  I may put on a little extra on during the ride but that is usually b/c I am super bored and need something to do!

For my clothes, I am wearing black capri leggings, a gray cami, and a high-lo tee that I found for Wal-Mart.
Please excuse the tiredness of this pic...I just drove 7.5 hours. I'm exhausted! =)

I love this tee, esp. for the $10 I paid for it at Wal-Mart, however, the little designs rub off quickly when you have a seat belt on it for about 7.5 hours....Boo to that!


I also find it really important to wear easy slip on shoes.  These I found at Claire's at the beginning of the spring season.  I love them!  You can find them here (on sale too!)

P.S. when I say "I" I mean my HUSBAND!

What do you all travel in?  Send me pics or tweet (@Queen_Nicole01) at me if your traveling now!
