I have another subscription box to share with you. This one is called Sephora Play the Sept. 2018 Box. This is a monthly beauty box, and the cost is $10.00/month. I found it to be a really fun box.  Check out my photos and video. I enjoyed reading the "Trend Report" that's included in the box. I have to figure out what to do with my play points that you see in the lower right-hand corner.  These points must be something good, right? I totally enjoyed this box.  The price is right, and the products they send are an excellent size to sample over a period of time to see if you would like to add the brands to your beauty routine. Check out my Youtube Channel,  Kathiey's World  for a more in-depth overview of the box. My video is also provided below. I recommend The Sephora Play Subscription Box.   If you like trying new products, it is a bargain and a lot of fun. Here is a link to their site if you want to give it a try......

Remember, you have to get the placemats that are double-sided that way all you have to do is rip the seam and start stuffing.  You will need fiberfill.  I found one 12 oz bag filled one pillow.  You will also need a seam ripper, thread and a sewing needle.  These items I found at Hobby Lobby.  Each place matt was double sided.  I decided to rip the seam where the tag for the pillow was sewn in.   That way I could get rid ...
