The yard is decorated and our tree is up, that could only mean one thing! It is the holiday season 🎄 which also means it is a new month and time for a new monthly Beauty & The Book. If you have been a follow of mine for a while you know what these giveaways are, if you are a new follower - Welcome to my blog! My name is Luna, I am a bit of a nerd, a gamer, a wife & mother of two and I enjoy blogging and photography in my spare time. Each month I put together a little thank you giveaway as my appreciation for everyone who follows my social media pages and supports me by leaving comments, liking photos and interacting with my pages in general.

Some of the things I love are books, makeup, skincare, Disney and so much more so I decided to combined them all into a fun giveaway.

Everything is provided by me and has no association with the brands represented.

November Beauty & The Book Giveaway!

 

A new month means it is time for a new Beauty & The Book Giveaway! I hope that everyone who celebrates Halloween had a fantastic time and are enjoying some sweets. October seemed to go by too quickly, but we enjoyed it while it was here. We had a great month watching horror/Halloween movies, we made Halloween cookies & cupcakes that we shared with family, and we had a great Halloween night. The only downside to October was dealing with a crappy handyman company that is dragging their feet and being non-communicative on a repair, but fingers crossed that is fixed soon. 

When it comes to my blog last month was great, you all really seemed to enjoy the giveaways I arranged so I am happy to say there will be quite a few giveaways coming this month and next. Speaking of giveaways, that is why you stopped by this post so let's move onto what this month's book and goodies are. Last month's winner will be up on my Facebook page soon, and I have some fun plans for next months giveaway seeing as it is the Holiday season.

I found this book titled "Savage Appetites" that is four true stories of women, crime and obsession that seemed like a good read. Plus, November = Thanksgiving, and "Appetites" seemed fitting and also a "get it?" mom joke.

Also included:

💛 Donut Socks 
💛  Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizer in "Sun-washed Citrus"
💛  Bath & Body Works Shea butter hand cream in "Pure Wonder"
💛  Spalife face mask
💛  Global Beauty Undereye mask
💛  Elf eyeliners in Black & Cosmic
💛  Ipsy Makeup bag
💛  The Porefessional hydrating primer sample
💛  Three Mad Hippie Samples
💛  Shades by Shan eyeshadow in "Irma"
💛  PYT day to night mini palette

Keep your feet warm with Fuzzy Babba!

When my little toes are chilly I usually put on a pair of socks, but why put on a normal pair of socks when I can put on a comfy pair of Fuzzy Babba slipper socks? They offer a variety of slipper socks for men, women and children so there is something for everyone. I was recently sent out a pair for my kids and myself to test out and we are loving them!

I received the Women's Fluffy knit slipper socks with pom poms that look like a Koala bear. They are a one size fits all slipper, I wear a size 9 to 9.5 in women's depending on the brand and these fit me just fine without any issues. The bottoms have small round non-slip grippers which help prevent you from slipping on tile and wood floors. The inside of the slipper socks have a plush sherpa liner that is not only comfortable on your feet but also quite warm! We went camping recently and I brought these with to wear inside of my sleeping bag and I am glad I did, during the night it was freezing and these helped keep my toes from feeling like they would fall off. The pom poms on the top are pretty cute, they giggle when you walk. I like that the pom poms seem to be quite secure on the slippers, each one is actually knitted onto the slipper vs being glued on like some companies like to do.

My son received the Kid's Camo print slipper sock in a small/medium. He was pretty excited to try them on that he wanted them on as soon as they were out of the bag. Like the slippers I received they also have a plush sherpa liner to help keep the feet comfortable and warm during the winter months.

Last but not least, my daughter received the Women's Glam Faux Fur socks with glittery kitty cat details in a M/L. My daughter is only eleven, but her feet are almost as big as mine so we decided to go with the women's slippers for her which fit perfectly. Instead of having a raised up knitted pattern like mine does, this pair of slippers has the cat details sewn into it. The faux fur is extremely soft, it feels silky smooth when you run your hands over it.

The sherpa liner helps keep your feet quite warm, when it gets a bit warmer in the house I usually end up taking these off for a bit if my feet feel a little too warm. They are perfect for wearing during the night and early morning when it tends to be chillier out. I can see these slippers lasting for many winters to come due to how well made they are, and price wise they aren't bad either. Each pair of slippers runs for about $12-$16 each plus they also sell booties and more, and at the moment there are quite a few pairs of slippers on clearance so you can get a pair for as low as $3.50-$6.

💖 Which of the three slippers above do you like the most? If you could have any animal on your slippers, what would you want?

Socks and I Review & Giveaway!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Socks and I for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

If you were to look in my sock drawer you would probably think I am addicted to colorful socks, I have an entire drawer stuffed to the brim with nothing but tons of different socks. I just can't seem to help myself, even though I know I don't need more socks when I see fun socks I want to get them so when I was offered a chance to review a sock subscription service called Socks and I, I couldn't say no!

I recently received two boxes from them each had four pairs of socks all in various designs, thicknesses and lengths. Both boxes were a lot of fun to open and really hold some great surprises, I like that the first box I opened not only had socks that were bright,wild and out there but they also have a more neutral sock that isn't as bright as the rest. Many of the socks included remind me of Booth from the TV show Bones because he enjoys wearing funky and colorful socks as well. All of the socks I was sent I would consider more to be winter socks than summer socks because they are longer and some of them are pretty thick which has been perfect for the dropping temperatures. All the socks were packed with care and wrapped in tissue paper, I like their simple and effective packaging shown in the photos.

I only had an issue with one pair of these socks and it is the pair of socks you see on the top section of the photos on the right above and that was only because the sock seemed a little small and I really had to work to get it onto my foot. I do wear a size 9 in women's which can be considered a big foot but normally I don't have too many issues with socks. Aside from that single pair of socks which I still squeeze my foot into them anyways because I like them so much everything fit wonderfully and they help keep my toes nice and warm during the cold mornings and cold nights. All of the socks are extremely well made and everything is packed up with care and love before being sent out to you monthly. They offer three different subscription boxes the first is the "Easy does it" box which is $10.99 and comes with 1 pair of socks, second is the "Now We're talking" which is $15.99 and bumps you up to two pairs of socks or you can get crazy and go for the "Heavy Footed" box which sends you four pairs of socks for $20.99 and shipping is included in those prices. Socks and I are very accommodating, if you are unhappy with the subscription it is free to cancel your subscription at any time, and if you only dislike one pair of socks in your box they allow you to send it back for an exchange. Their sock size chart is as follows;

Low to Mid Calf Length (Men's and Women's): 10-13 (US)
Women's Knee High: 9-11 (US)
Women's Over the Knee: 9-11 (US)

PRIZE ALERT:
Socks and I would like to offer 1 Men's Heavy Footed Box (1 month) & 1 Women's Heavy Footed Box (1 month) to two lucky readers!

Sock Club Review & Giveaway

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by The Sock Club for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

I remember when I was a kid, Socks were something you were kind of bummed to get as a Birthday or Christmas gift though we didn't say anything because we didn't want to be ungrateful. Now that I am older socks is something I hope I will get for Christmas, working almost everyday gives you holes and thin spots so getting new soft and fluffy socks is always welcomed. When I was offered to host a review and giveaway from the Sock Club I couldn't refuse. How did it all start? "The Sock Club began when founders Dane and Noah made an outrageously silly bet over a contested corn hole match. The bet left them thinking about what they could do with a small fortune. The answer was obvious: buy great socks! It was that day they decided to sell socks actually worth wearing. They would share their love of socks with the world."



My package arrived quickly although I do have to say when I opened it I was a bit confused, I thought I received a package from Hogwarts until I realized it was from the Sock Club. I enjoy the way they wrapped the socks, it shows they took the time to prepare each packaged vs shoving a pair of socks into each one and shipping them off. It was a fun and creative way to hide the pair of socks until it was all unwrapped. I received a pair of adorable Austin Skyline Socks, this pair of socks features Green,Blue and Purple stripes between the blue and green stripes you will find a Silhouette of the Austin Skyline which is cut in half leaving half on each ankle. When you place your ankles together it completes the picture, I not only think this is adorable but find it suits me in a way as I have similar feet tattoos that combine to make one image when I place my feet together. The sock club has friendly customer service and they are speedy to reply to any questions you may have.



The subscription cost $12 a month, You will received one delivery every month around the same time with your pair of socks for that month. You won't get an ordinary pair of white or black socks those are boring instead you will get something bright, colorful and creative that will make you smile. If you skipped a month or didn't sign up in time to receive a pair you wanted there is no need to worry they have all of their past socks available on their websites shop which you can purchase anytime. This would make a great gift for anyone in your life and would make a creative Fathers day gift. This subscription box could be for either a woman or a man, I find the designs lean more towards men but anyone can wear the designs.



PRIZE ALERT:
The sock club is offering one lucky reader a Three Month sock subscription. This is open to US & Canadian Residents only.

Me In Mind Review

My husband is quite happy that we are having a little boy, He is having a great time helping pick out shoes,jackets,ect that fit our style so when I found out about a company called Me In Mind Footwear we were both exited to receive the chance to work with them on a review.



I was recently sent a pair of their infant boots called "Geneva" in the color Charcoal & a set of their Boys "Rocker" socks. Shipping was extremely fast the order was placed on Friday October 19th & arrived on Monday October 22nd I would call that fast shipping! I couldn't wait to get the box open and check out these adorable baby boots. The description of the boots is as follows: Lace-up, desert boot styled design,Charcoal colored synthetic leather upper,Plush touch polyester lining,Round cotton laces,Synthetic leather sole with non-slip print on sizes NB & SM Flexible rubber sole on sizes MD, LG & XL They come in a Recycled paper gift box & have a  vegan friendly construction the shoes are easy to put onto little baby feet & they have a soft construction to them to keep the babies feet safe. The socks are great as well they feature a Organic cotton blend & have a unique non-slip sole print along with an Elastic collar for secure fit they are Available in 0-12 and 12-24 months but the 12-24 Months can fit a much bigger foot my daughter is almost four and the socks fit her perfect. I think my favorite thing about their socks is their Me-In-Mind Lost Sock Replacement Program lose one of your child's socks? No problem Me In Mind will replace it for Free.
