Things I’m Loving

Here are some of my current favs….

1. Sweet Potato Chips from Trader Joes.  I’ve tried several kinds of sweet potato tortilla chips and these are my absolute favorite. They are delicious!

Sugar feels awesome on my lips and is so moisturizing.  Right now my favorite shade is Rose.  It gives your lips that “just bitten” look and is just awesome.  I was a little skeptical at paying $25 for it but it is worth every bit.

3. I’m beginning to think I might be one of the only people who appreciates a nice cloudy, rainy/slightly stormy day.  Days like that just make my heart smile.

4. The “right” mug matters alot!  It always makes my morning a little brighter, happier when I drinking out of one of my favorite coffee cups. It’s funny some people totally get this and others look at you like you are crazy like a cup is a cup….nope so wrong!

My June Birchbox!

I have to say it is so extremely hard for me to wait an entire month to receive my next Birchbox.  I look at the sneak peeks that Birchbox sends out but still you never really know what all you will be receiving.  Here is what was included in my box this month.

1. Birchbox + Color Club

Wanderlust Collection | Exclusive neon pastel shades inspired by four of our favorite cities.

2. Klorane

Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk | Beloved by clebs, an award winning oil-buster that revives second-day styles.

3. Oscar de la Renta

Something Blue | The brand’s latest scent, a lovely blend of mandarin and linden blossoms.

4. suki

Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser | Two in one cleanser and exfoliator that magically lathers and smells deliciously lemony.

5. The Laundress

Wash and Stain Bars | A savior for those times when white shirts meet deliciously drippy food-truck grub.

 

So tell me what did you receive in your box this month?

It’s Christmas Every Month With Birchbox!

This is my second month receiving Birchbox.  I absolutely love it! In fact when I receive the email saying it has shipped out I am absolutely giddy. The thing I really love about Birchbox is that you get to try out all different kinds of lifestyle and beauty samples for $10 a month and that includes shipping. You really cannot beat that.  I like to try new products but I am always hesitant to spend $30 or $40 dollars for a product that I’m not even sure I’m going to like.  So, Birchbox solves that problem for me!  Also sometimes the samples you receive are full size products, awesome!  On their website you are able customize the boxes to some of your preferences, like skin types or what kind of products you like to use.

Here is what is in my May Birchbox:

May Birchbox

 

Beauty Protector | Protect & Detangle : Great for all hair types, this nourishing elixir locks in color, adds shine, and instantly detangles.

COOLA | Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face : This mineral sunblock is infused with organic antiaging ingredients like evening primrose extract and borage seed oil.

Joie | Folle de Joie eau de parfum : For its debut scent, the chic fashion brand created this carefree mix of mandarin, rose and sandalwood.

Sumita | Color Contrast Eyeliner : Inspired by traditional Indian formulas, this velvety liner glides on easily and lasts for hours.

My Beauty Extra was Tweezerman | Matchbox Itty Bitty Nail Files : Keep these cute mini files in your purse to fix mani mishaps.

I cannot wait to try out all of these products but I think the one I’m most excited about this month is COOLA. I love that it is organic and that is a mineral sunblock!
