What's in my First Free Graze Box?

Top Left: Morning Energizer (dried pears, cherries, and walnuts) - 140 kcal

Top Right: Toffee Apple (Toffee sauce with granny smith apple slices) - 70 kcal

Bottom Left: Raspberry and Coconut Muffin (Amaretti drops, raspberry infused cranberries, almond slices, and coconut flakes) - 140 kcal

Bottom Right: Japanese Nori Crackers (Japanese seaweed rice crackers) - 60 kcal

I must say that I was pretty happy with what I got in my first free graze box. Everything was really good and most of all healthy. The best part about Graze is that you get to choose from a variety of snacks (more than 90) that range from granola bars and dried fruit, to tortilla chips with salsa and pretzels with peanut butter.

If you order a box from graze ($6) they will randomly select four different snacks that you have previously selected as your "try" options, and discard the ones that you have marked as "trash". For example I marked as "trash" a snack that had spicy walnuts and also another one that has unsalted popcorn because I don't really like any of those. But I did click on "try" on snacks such as pretzels with peanut butter and dark chocolate drops with walnuts and dried fruits.

You can also cancel your order before they have sent your healthy snack box (which takes them about a week) or you can postpone your order for later without any fee.

I got my first Graze box for free by using a code that I got from a magazine that I am subscribed to. I think that it was the best thing that I could have done because I got a box totally free and I got to enjoy four different healthy snacks of my choice along with my mom (I shared).

If you want to get a Graze box for FREE, feel free to use my code : MAYUT9Y9P
Just go to www.graze.com and enter the code before ordering so that you can get the box for FREE!

I really hope you will be able to get your box because it is totally worth it! It will make me really happy if you use my special code and get your box for free just like I did.

That is all for now, and thank you!

Oasap Review



mayugirl, oasap, charlotte russe, plaid dress, cat patchwork blouse, palid shirt, yin yang, sunglasses, round sunglasses, lookbook
 This is the first time that I have ever made a purchase at +OASAP and I was a little bit disappointed because of the material of the clothes. It is not a soft and comfortable material as clothes on +Choies that are really high quality. I think that the obvious reason is the pricing. While +OASAP has lower quality on the fabric of their clothing than +Choies , it is definitely a lot more cheaper in price. I was really satisfied with the fact that I could get this amazing shirt that I am wearing in the picture, I truly loved it and I think it was definitely worth its price, although it could have a better fabric.
 
I am also pleased witht he fact that +OASAP actually uploaded my picture to their website. If you would like to see I will provide you the link down bellow:
It is in the bottom left of the page and you just have to click on the right arrow where a video is being displayed and wait for a few seconds for the picture to load!
 
Overall I think that Oasap.com is a good place to purchase casual clothing that is not pricey for your wallet. They were pretty quick in their delivery and you get benefits from buying from them such as points that can be used for your next purchase and discount coupons. I do not think that it's a great place to buy clothing that will have a lot of use because of the quality of the fabric, which I believe would not as last that long. I would recommend sites such as +Choies,@chicwish and +Sheinside StreetFashion (these are my favorites) that are similar to Oasap, but do deliver clothing that will have longer wear

How to make a Layered Smoothie or Milkshake

strawberries, bananas, fruit, strawberry, honey, oats, soymilk, protein, sugar, carbohydrates, nuts, nature, mason jar, jar, aladdin jar, instagram, vsco, mayu girl, recipe, healthy, appetite, food, vegan, natural, diet, skinny

This was my first attempt doing a layers smoothie, and it actually came out pretty good. I didn't use any recipe or anything, I just went with my instincts and hoped for the best. But I will list everything that I used and how I did it. 

Ingredients: 
1 cup of soymilk
1/2 cup of plain oats
1/2 banana 
4 strawberries
1 tbsp honey or sugar (optional)

Steps: 
1. Blend half a cup of milk, oats, and banana. (Pineapple is optional for color)
2. Pour everything in cup or jar. 
3. Blend the rest of the milk, oats, and strawberries. (Beet is optional for color)
4. Pour on top of banana milkshake. 
5. Decorate with a strawberry. 

Don't worry about how the milkshake will taste with the beet because you cannot even tanste it since you only need a small piece of it to give a lot of color (they are really pigmented and stain a lot!). 

I hope you enjoyed my original recipe for making a layered smoothie or milkshake. If you make one, please tag me and/or hashtag #mayugirl so that I can see how yours came out!
 Love, Mayu Girl

No Breakout Make Up

- Physicians Formula Black Organic Mascara
- Revlon Water Proof Black Eyeliner
- Almay Smart Shade Coral Blush

I think I have finally found the best foundation make up for my face that doesn't clog my pores and make me break out. 

I use both the powder and the liquid foundation and they do not feel heavy nor cakey at all. It looks really natural and feels good on my skin. I definitely recommend it if you've had problems with breaking out or if you just want to prevent acne break outs from wearing make up on your face. 

Love, MayuGirl

Pike's Peak Restaurant Review

ties, arizona, phoenix, restaurant, food, ties, roof ties, pikes peak
(If you enter this restaurant wearing a tie tie, they will cut it and hang it on the roof of the restaurant!)
 
This Pike's Peak Restaurant was pretty interesting because if its rustic feeling and décor. It is really unique and memorable. I was impressed by the amount of ties that have been cut; they cover the whole roof and there are so many different types of ties, from ugly and old to really elegant and new.
 
So I had a steak salad for lunch because I thought that everything on the menu that was not a salad was kind of heavy for my appetite. I thought that the meat was okay, but what I really enjoyed was the cheese on it. I think it is called blue cheese, I am not sure. I just know the I really liked it. 

The place overall was really rustic and interestig. Definitely a place to visit. The only thing I didn't like was that our table wiggled and that there were a lot of flies flying around (ugh!)
