Week In Review 8/10/15-8/16/15

Welcome to our week in review here at Createyou86.  This is our solution to weekly journaling.


1.) This week was the other half of Createyou86's Birthday!  We made a day of it doing things that James wanted to do, and it ended with us having dinner together at Macaroni Grill.  He had the Chicken Alfredo, and I had the Margarita Pizza bother were very good.  He even got a free desert.  Anything that he wanted off of the desert menu.  Needless to say we both left stuffed, and satisfied.  Here is a collage of our photos from dinner.

2.) This week, actually on James' birthday i purchased The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.  I am obsessed with this series of games.  If you have ever played Skyrim you know that people have been waiting for about 4 years for the newest game in the series to hit consoles.  Well the game hit consoles in the beginning of July, and i just bought it.  I pretty much can't put it down.  I purchased it for XBOX ONE, and i was a bit confused when i did.

Herein lies my confusion.  When i purchased the game i had known already that it was originally an online PC game, and that there was a subscription required to play.  On the cover of the box it says that there is no game subscription required, but don't be fooled.  I WAS!.....because this is an online game you are still required by XBOX or PLAYSTATION or have an internet connection, and their MONTHLY XBOX LIVE GOLD MEMBERSHIP ($9.99 per month) or whatever the playstation membership is.  Hence i am not sure why it says "No game subscription required" when in fact there is a game subscription required.  In the end it truly didn't matter i purchased the XBOX LIVE GOLD MEMBERSHIP, and have been on my way questing, and exploring, and couldn't be happier with the game itself i just wish that the marketing was done a little bit better to explain what is truly needed to play the game.


3.)  If you don't know by now i am currently taking the #BetterSkinChallenge from Maybelline.  Influenster was nice enough to provide me with the product to test and review, and i have been doing so via social media.  I am absolutely loving this product.  This product is safe enough to wear daily.  This product helps with clearing up your complexion as well as blemishes.  I have had several comments about how flawless this foundation makes my skin look, and it is true.  The product is awesome, and it lasts a long time.  The color i was provided is called IVORY, and it matches my skin perfectly.  I saw the product in CVS pharmacy this past week, and there are so many different shades that you are certain to find a product that fits your skin tone, and i can almost guarantee that you will love it, and purchase it again.  I know i will be!   Also the product is so light it doesn't even feel like you are wearing foundation, and it doesn't give a caked on look so it is perfect for layering other products that you use along with your foundation.
