Keurig with the carafe! Hello keurig 2.0

Hello keurig 2.0! 
Tried my carafe earlier and it's pretty cool. You can make 2-3, 3-4 or 5-6 servings.
Just drop the carafe kcup in the brewer, and place the carafe, with the lid on where the cup goes. It brews and goes right into the carafe thru the carafe spout.. Pretty cool

My view on the new Keurig 2.0 - Hello Keurig!

So I received the new Keurig 2.0 for free by being a member of Influenster, a cool site where you answer surveys, give reviews, link up your social media networks and in response to your participation, you may get selected for one of Influenster's voxboxes, full of freebies that you provide your opinions on. 

I was lucky enough to be one of the cool peeps to get a Keurig 2.0, Hello Keurig voxbox campaign.  I got it for free!!! The retail value is $199 and it comes with a carafe, kcups, kcups for carafe, a water filter, touchscreen and more!!!

I really like the touch screen. where you can choose background screen colors, choose from 3 different colors of the water reservoir, choose from over 10 different brew sizes for the cup and carafe and has a hot water and "strong brew" option.  Many options to choose from just from the set up.  Checkout my flipagram below for the features.



You have to use the new k-cups that have the keurig name around the rim of the kcup, which have been in the stores for a few months.  Did I mention that I got this for free???  In all, I love my new keurig and find myself using it more and more.  Sometimes the touchscreen is a bit deceiving because you don't know if you should hit the keurig 2.0 button or the touch screen, but with more practice, I'll get it together.  



Overall, I love my new keurig and thankful I got to try it out for free!!! Thanks to Influenster. It's made me more of a coffee snob:)

Saved on gas with my Shell Fuel Rewards Card

Finally used my @Shell_US fuel rewards card, that saved me 3 cents per gallon off my gas price. Sometimes every penny counts and I have no issues saving money when I can.

Latest Sephora purchases (and returns)

I had such high hopes for my sephora purchases of foundation by sephora that looked great in the store, but not so great when I brought it home and wore it for a day. 
My face wasnt "dewy" like they advertised, but more greasy according to my grease-dar. Smh. #returned
And I love makeup forever products and was so excited to try out their new artist eye shadow palettes. The colors are gorgeous, but does not show up as vibrant on the chocolate. I have their aquamatic eye pencils which are perfect. This Artist palette is not.
You barely could see the colors and that's work with a primer used. I could use it wet or with expensive primer, but that then becomes more labor intensive than I need to invest in. So that got returned to.
