Life in the Fast Lane
I'm just a lady who's trying to have a good time...as cheaply as possible!
I love taking pictures and I was lucky enough to have a Poloroid Instamatic Camera when I was in middle school. I loved that thing. It was so cool with the promise of photos ready in an instant. It was also nice to be able to hand someone a photo as a memento. We moved a lot when I was younger so I always took tons of photos. The Instax Mini 8 cameras are awesome and have the same idea! I was lucky enough to review a set of Sticky Shoot Colorful Frame Stickers. They have over 80 different designs…
Read MoreOne of my most recent accomplishments was becoming a Chick-fil-a Moms Panel Member. What exactly is that, you ask? Well, it’s a group of mom bloggers that were chosen to help promote Chick-fil-a and also give our opinions on their products throughout the year. I am so excited! Our whole family loves Chick-fil-a so this is a big deal to us. One of my family goals is to participate in their “Dress Like A Cow Day” and post a blog about it. We have attended many an event at our local Chick-fil-a, taken a ‘backstage’ tour and we are friends…
Read MoreNo one likes to admit it but when you get older, things will start to bunch and sag in all the wrong places. I have been using an eye cream of some sort for as long as I can remember. I can tell you, it pays to start early. If you don’t want crow’s feet, start using an eye cream in your twenties. All this said, I was excited to get a chance to review a few Body Merry Creams.
Read MoreOne thing that has always been on my list of things to accomplish is to run a 5k. That’s right, to jog the entire 3.2 miles without stopping. I am aiming low. I don’t want to win a prize or beat everyone. I just want to finish the race. If you’ve been reading my blog, you might know that getting healthy is on of my New Years resolutions. I am doing pretty well since I’ve gotten down to my pre-baby weight, which is roughly a 40 pound loss. I have been eating healthy (for the most part) and I felt…
Read MoreSo for the past few weeks, in addition to working and everything else, I have been following my resolution of decluttering my house. I have a ton of stuff to donate and I am pretty proud of myself, considering that I think I’m a borderline hoarder. Life has been crazy in the Lane household and certain things have been put on the back burner to make way for others. This blog being one of them, sadly. I love blogging and I have so many ideas but I have to focus on one goal at a time. Right now it’s the…
Read MoreI am a sucker for journal-type books. I must think my life is worth reading about. Haha. The truth is that I am so worried about getting Alzheimer’s that I feel the need to somehow document my every move in order to have it when I lose my memories. No joke. So when I saw this little gem, I couldn’t resist.
Read MoreHave you seen those pitchers that you can add fruit and infuse your water? I think those are awesome! So imagine my excitement when I received this baby! It’s the Live Infinitely Infusion WATER BOTTLE. Now, I might be letting the secret out of just how small my hometown is, but I’ve never seen a water bottle infuser!
Read MoreI’m sure your mother has told you countless times that you always need to remove your makeup before you do to bed. What she didn’t tell you is that those wipes are full of chemicals and will cost you a pretty penny! Fear not! I am here to give you a few tips on how to stretch your dollar while using Neutrogena Naturals Makeup Remover Towelettes.
Read MoreThere is nothing like a hot bowl of chili on a cold night. I especially like it when it’s been simmering in the crock pot all day since it’s doing all the work itself! Olde Westport Spice and Trading Co. sent a package of their Championship Chili Spice Blend. I am not lying when I say that this is the easiest and tastiest chili I’ve ever ‘made!’
Read MoreHow do microwaves get so dirty? I feel like I spend an unnecessary amount of time cleaning my appliances. I mean, do I really want to waste my time cleaning my microwave when there is an important tv marathon needing my attention or a good book just gathering dust? Of course not! Imagine my delight (and skepticism) when I got my hands on a bottle of Zep Commercial Microwave Miracle Foaming Cleanser. I was intrigued as to how this stuff was going to ‘let the microwave do all the work.’
