What is this blog about you ask? Thanks to my sister in-law (someone has to be blamed) I started using beauty box sites and review sites that send you free items. I wanted a way to get the word out there of which ones I tried, which ones are great, which ones I can live without, and the items I have received. At first I was very skeptical of the free sites as nothing is free. But slowly I am starting to be shipped items and I can't believe my eyes and I need to share them with someone!
Who am I? I am just your average girl who loves the outdoors, target shooting, and beauty products. Yeah I know those don't sound like they go together. My whole life I have struggled with being a tom boy and a girly girl all wrapped into one. I grew up with boys as friends, I work for a trucking company, and I have no problem being tough and getting dirty. But I also love to get dressed up and play with makeup and hair at the end of the day. I am married with 2 step daughters and a yorkie. So my house stays pretty busy. So I enjoy sneaking away to the computer for some me time. And if I am making money and getting free things on the side it's a bonus!
What with the blog name? I created a food blog awhile back called Diary of an Italian Baker. That name took me awhile to come up with. The name was based of my great grandfather who was a pastry chef in Italy He came over with my great grandmother to the USA when my grandmother was very young. He opened up a bake shop here. As a lot of my recipes were passed down from my grandmother I thought of him when I created that name. So when I decided to create another blog I was feeling overwhelmed with trying to come up with yet another name no one else already had. So as I sit here putting in names and being rejected I looked down at my little yorkie sitting on my lap and I asked her who am I. And I said right now I am just a girl talking to a dog trying to write a blog. I laughed figured it was taken and to my surprise it wasn't. BINGO I had my blog name. It was perfect. In the early hours of the morning or late hours of the evening when my kids and husband are asleep Harlee (my yorkie) and I sneak off to the computer and sit there trying to see what other products we can snag up for free.
So who is Harlee? She would like to have an introduction as well. Harlee is a 3 year old 4 lb yorkshire terrier. She is feisty and sweet all wrapped into one. She can be just as much a brat as she is sweet. Just like me! She's a mama's girl. She loves my lap and being by my side. She is wonderful listener and keeps all my secrets!
This is Harlee. She wants me to get off my computer and play with her!
