Whitney Reacts & Reviews Things

I had my baby shower today! It was so. much. fun! For real. I have the best friends in the whole world. ☕Buy Me a Coffee [help support the channel & blog] https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OMGitsWhitney Stephanie, Myself, & Kendra. Stephanie and I have been friends since we were babies -- our moms were friends and pregnant at the same time. We are 8 days apart...9 when it's a leap year. We met Kendra in Kindergarten when we were in Daisies together. We all went to school together and stayed close after graduating.  We all got together back in March to plan the Baby Shower. I knew that I didn't want pink -- even though we knew it was a girl, pink is pretty but predictable -- I thought purples would be more my style, plus it's one of my favorite colors. Stephanie had a list of potential themes. I honestly had no idea what themes to even consider. We ended up going with "Tacos and Tutus" -- I mean, this is Texas. Tex-Mex is a staple in this state.    ...

Ok everybody, don't panic. I don't dislike family vloggers, but let's face it, there are some things that are just weird about them. There is a mentality that all YouTubers "suffer" from some form of narcissism, or are just extremely self-involved. This may be true for some of them -- like ones who vlog literally every day or even multiple times a day -- but not all of them. I remember YouTube back in it's "hey-day". The beauty community -- YouTubers like Kandee Johnson, and Michelle Phan -- wasn't having controversies every other week, clickbait wasn't a tactic as much as it is now -- it was there but creators didn't straight up LIE to the audience about what they're video was going to be about just to get a click -- , the OG YouTubers weren't nearly as problematic as they are now, and were everywhere in trending and recommendation lists... for the right reasons. Family vlogging wasn't really a "thing" then like...

I found this recipe on tablefortwoblog.com and thought I'd just share the love...cause this recipe is delicious! This recipe is super easy and will feed up to 10 people! It's a low-calorie dinner as well... 200 calories per serving (of 10oz) which is surprisingly filling for such a low-calorie meal.  Below are the items you will need: 1 chopped onion (I used white) 1 can of black beans 1 can of kidney beans 16 oz of tomato sauce 1 can of corn 16 oz of diced tomatoes with green chilies 1 packet of taco seasoning 1 tbsp of ground cumin 1 tbsp of chili powder 3-4 chicken breasts (I guesstimated about 2 pounds of chicken) In a mixing bowl, put all the ingredients together (except the chicken) til it's all nice and mixed up.  I did my prep work the night before and then it was just as simple as throwing it into the crockpot at 6:30 in the morning and walking away for 10 hours -- or on high for 4 hours.  A...

I received my first VoxBox from Influenster about 5 months ago. As part of being a reviewer for Influenster, they ask that you leave a review on their website and/or make a blog post or video review. I decided to finally do the third part (the blog entry) of this process. If you wish to watch my video review instead of proceeding with the blog entry, then click the video below.  The Lancôme Products That I Received (with links): Visionnaire Skin Solutions 15% Pure Vitamin C Correcting Concentrate - Retail Price: $65 I really wanted to like this stuff. I've never had any real problems with my skin, other than it having a combination of dry and oily. I applied this to my bare skin -- it smells terrible. I believe in my video I say it smells like if oranges and lemons made a hybrid fruit, and that fruit went bad... seriously, it's gross. I believe since it's a "Vitamin C" Serum, they're going for a citrus-like smell, but it was a swing-and-a-mi...

In a previous video on my  YouTube Channel  (VLOGmas Day 1: ELF Cosmetics Haul) I mentioned that I am going as hypoallergenic as I possibly can -- and you may be wondering why. Well, a really long story short, I had a MAJOR reaction to... something. Isn't that vague? I'll get into the possibilities a little further into the post. ☕Buy Me a Coffee [help support the channel & blog] https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OMGitsWhitney It all started mid-November around the 13th or 14th. The base of my scalp was itching pretty bad.  Now... I wasn't thinking I had contracted lice or something like that. While I do work in a Pharmacy, I have very little interaction with the patients, so while it could have been a possibility, there weren't any recent cases of lice coming through the Pharmacy, so there's that out of the way. However...sometimes if I skip washing my hair for a couple of days -- you know, how the beauty gurus say you're "supposed to"  -- my h...

I don't really know how to start this blog so I'm just going to pick a spot and keep on going. This blog post started going in my head when I heard the story of a patient taking a gun and shooting a pharmacist and a technician. I've seen articles and comments under the story about how it's an everyday occurrence in some pharmacies, and unfortunately, it's true. I've been a CPhT  for nine years. I got my start as a Pharmacy Tech Trainee at Walgreens back in the Hill Country. (I could make a whole other blog post about my experience working for Walgreens but I'll just be giving you the "Greatest Hits" in this entry.) From there I transferred to a Walgreens out here in West Texas when I moved in June of 2010. After moving, I took my PTCE and passed at the first go-around. I was a trainee for only less than a year and was certified by the end of 2010.  I remember going in as a trainee on my first day and thinking "This is it... this is going to...

This whole uproar about the lyrics to Baby, It's Cold Outside is getting out of hand... IT'S JUST A SONG... I need to get some feelings out, so if you're here for the ride, hold on. Some radio stations are refusing to play "Baby, It's Cold Outside" due to it's "sexual -- date-rapey undertone in the wake of the whole #MeToo movement". Now if you haven't heard the song before -- cause you hide when Christmas music starts playing in stores -- click here to hear the song. DISCLAIMER: I have no problem with this song, or "Santa, Baby"... my problem is with the hypocrisy. "Say, what's in this drink?" -- seriously that is the only line in there that gives them any backing to their claim that it's date/rapey. However, she says "at least I'm gonna say that I tried," & "at least there will be plenty implied" which means she's consenting to stay with him, (it doesn't mean anyt...
