Influenster #FrostyVoxBox

It's always exciting being selected to receive a VoxBox from Influenster, but for some reason it's even more exciting to receive one during the holiday season! The Frosty VoxBox was basically an early Christmas gift. It came with 8 products, some that I can't wait to try and some that I have already got my hands on. Here is a look into my #FrostyVoxBox from Influenster.

Thyme & Garlic White Bread Recipe

I recently received some products to review from Influnester and one of the products was McCormick Gourmet Thyme, so I sat around thinking of a recipe I could make with thyme in it. I had been wanting to make a classic white bread, so I decided I would make the white bread and just add some thyme and garlic powder to the recipe. 

This thyme and garlic white bread recipe is the perfect bread to go with a fancy dinner. There is nothing better than fresh baked bread! The crust was nice and crispy and the inside was some of the softest bread I've ever made. Not only does it pair nice with a fancy dinner, it also made my house smell like a fancy steakhouse. The smell of the thyme is what I smelled throughout my house the most, and it was such a wonderfully, yummy smell. The warm flavor of the thyme gave the bread such a delicious taste.

Homemade Strawberry Habanero Jelly

Ever since I started growing my own habanero peppers, I've been trying all kind of different recipes, but this strawberry habanero jelly is by far my favorite one. This jelly is so tasty! At first you get the taste of the sweet strawberry jelly, and then all of a sudden you start to taste a little heat from the habanero peppers. I've never put peppers in my jelly before, but it definitely gives the jelly a nice kick. A lot of people have it in their mind that it's difficult to make jelly, but I'll tell you just how easy it is!

Witch's Belt Nail Art Design

To continue with my Halloween theme for the month of October, this week I'm doing a Witch's Belt Manicure. It's a cute and fun manicure, and it's another really simple manicure to do.

Glittery Candy Corn Manicure

Fall is finally here, and Halloween is right around the corner, so I figured I would share Halloween themed manicures during the entire month of October. So to kick it off, I'm going to start with something really cute and simple... a Candy Corn Manicure!

Jessica's Top 10 Nail Art Essentials

Having the right tools when doing nail art makes all the difference. I'm going to share with you my top 10 nail-art tool essentials that will make your experience with doing nail art a whole lot easier!

1. Nail File -- The first thing on my list is going to have to be a good quality nail file. There are so many different nail files out there, and I usually get a different one every time, but there are ones that I stray away from. You definitely don't want to get anything too rough, especially if you are working on natural nails. You also want to stay away from metal nail files. They're just....terrible. As of lately, I really like Tweezerman nail files. I own a matchbox of their itty-bitty files, and I'm loving them!

Have you heard of NatureBox?

If you've never heard of NatureBox, I'm going to tell you a little bit about them in this blog post. If you have heard of NatureBox, and have yet to try them out, I'm also going to tell you why you should have tried these snacks, like, yesterday.
