Here's to a great weekend!<br />

<br />
In fact, I haven't been getting a lot of pictures for a while, because I've been slacking. <br />
<br />
I'm trying to do better.<br />
<br />
Luckily, this weekend I went to the Kansas City Irish Fest, so it wasn't too hard to find "green."<br />

I know, I know… according to the calendar it is not Fall yet, but Summer is basically over.<br /><br />Everyone is getting one last weekend at the pools and water parks before they close for the year. <br /><br />All of our schools are back in session. For the kids in our neighborhood, summer ended last week.<br /><br />Honestly, I’m not sad to see it go. <br /><br />It has been one very hot and long summer. <br /><br />I can’t wait for the temps to drop and the leaves to change color. <br /><br />This week I get start the process of putting up my Fall decorations. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />I’m ready for the crisp cool air and the pumpkin spice candles. <br /><br />Fall is my favorite season and it can’t get here fast enough. </div>

5. Eyeko - Skinny Liquid Eyeliner (in purple)<br />

Stuff like this is the reason I signed up for Birchbox. I was so happy to find makeup in my box, and having it be a full size product was even better.<br />

<br />6. Birchbox Exclusive - earbuds<br />
<br />
These were totally unexpected. When you pay $10 dollars for a box, you really only expect a few nice size beauty samples, not earbuds. These alone made the box for me. Are they the best quality? No, but they will be perfect for the gym. Now I don't have to worry about my nice earbuds getting all sweaty and gross.<br />
<br />
<br />
That is all for July's Birchbox.<br />

I was so excited to see that little pink box in my mailbox on Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe70tXTjnaen3W57VODfdy9Kdvr-M-F0sPCbEu5GMeATcrPzf1c-2XVFXYT_vfWIkb5ElzE1G2JkcIhCV08f6DYIm2afEwihJDGzlbNkwfmzlErlSA6LotqLdlFf4mi9Cq2L7cWWGW0mEu/s1600/IMG_0631.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe70tXTjnaen3W57VODfdy9Kdvr-M-F0sPCbEu5GMeATcrPzf1c-2XVFXYT_vfWIkb5ElzE1G2JkcIhCV08f6DYIm2afEwihJDGzlbNkwfmzlErlSA6LotqLdlFf4mi9Cq2L7cWWGW0mEu/s640/IMG_0631.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never look up the theme of my box before I get it, because I think it's more fun not knowing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I was surprised when I saw the cute little stamp designs on the inside of the box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Xn-OpI1oxYUc5UUFRlAHOwb7aEfSvBhcpqC0Z3cGzUh6GHDWfsFT-na4VvJVBgCgTUpOxwRd9yOZvTXJ38XeaFTTe-TlHWXTt5cYt-fM7jhvMlgGwv_bbgPR-AdSqPjV8qX6Tjn_xy_5/s1600/IMG_0632.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Xn-OpI1oxYUc5UUFRlAHOwb7aEfSvBhcpqC0Z3cGzUh6GHDWfsFT-na4VvJVBgCgTUpOxwRd9yOZvTXJ38XeaFTTe-TlHWXTt5cYt-fM7jhvMlgGwv_bbgPR-AdSqPjV8qX6Tjn_xy_5/s640/IMG_0632.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They made more sense when I found out that this month's theme was "Jet Set."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOK8cOoeup0HqIlYtU49VfkVunZsuvgraKjWyYX33a63Uv20lCMnsTRFdVo8dq4lvFElCCL4I-hu6UMyCXkyosu-iNRHmq1c4HavHf0rKE0S-ltp3Qryt8a-NZSQ3H3B91Kvs0ALJKRXvm/s1600/IMG_0640.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOK8cOoeup0HqIlYtU49VfkVunZsuvgraKjWyYX33a63Uv20lCMnsTRFdVo8dq4lvFElCCL4I-hu6UMyCXkyosu-iNRHmq1c4HavHf0rKE0S-ltp3Qryt8a-NZSQ3H3B91Kvs0ALJKRXvm/s640/IMG_0640.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, here are the products that were in my box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI941RIjKMIXc1rJtuF6NGrbmiaosoYdWaiiWTKsNrBLK-hKsFjYNiyyJsvG2SCcpe_7DHjxk3s9thMJH9p8rRj9jKmCN2ivUG01-Bzce9IbFJwo4_Ckcc0kUNUSxP4egCBpt3g1bs7Im4/s1600/IMG_0636.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI941RIjKMIXc1rJtuF6NGrbmiaosoYdWaiiWTKsNrBLK-hKsFjYNiyyJsvG2SCcpe_7DHjxk3s9thMJH9p8rRj9jKmCN2ivUG01-Bzce9IbFJwo4_Ckcc0kUNUSxP4egCBpt3g1bs7Im4/s640/IMG_0636.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Masqueology - Brightening Mask (I am really excited to try this type of mask.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Likewise - Facial Moisturizer + Sun Protectant SPF 50 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Stainiac in Beauty Queen - lip and cheek stain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Ada Cosmetics - Bronzer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Lifestyle Extra - Cynthia Rowley Dress Up Band-Aids ( I actually got a full size of this product, which is worth $15, so I was pretty excited about that. Who can't use Band-Aids?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I was really happy with this box. The only thing that I don't know if I will like is the bronzer. Bronzer never seems to look right on me and this one has a lot of shimmer in it which I don't usually like. I am still excited to try it though, and everything else in my box. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried any of these products? If so, did you like them? Let me know.</div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15237767996569766937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380032156190576654.post-35700215190390029442012-06-11T23:36:00.000-05:002012-06-11T23:36:29.109-05:00Quick Update<div style="text-align: center;">
I never meant to take such a long break from this blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What have I been up to?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I decided to try Camp NaNoWriMo. So far I'm not doing so well, but I haven't given up yet. (Camp NaNoWriMo is basically the same as NaNoWriMo, it just takes place in June and August instead of November.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. My husband and I have been spending time at the lake, enjoying the sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. We also spent some time at the Kansas City Zoo this weekend. They had a special event for Friends of the Zoo and we had a blast!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. I took a couple of small road trips with my sister-in-law two weekends ago. We had a lot of fun and I may write up a little post about them if I get the chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. We are currently driving a rental car because of a minor accident we were in about a month ago. Our car is getting fixed and hopefully it won't take too much longer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, sorry this blog has been silent for so long. I plan on getting back to posting on a regular schedule soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all of the stuff going on (especially Camp NaNoWriMo) my schedule is a little out of whack. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should be getting my June Birchbox in the mail today, so I will have a post about that coming soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How has your summer been so far?</div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15237767996569766937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380032156190576654.post-37220929646388230172012-05-15T13:00:00.000-05:002012-05-15T13:00:27.349-05:00Birchbox - May<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme for my Birchbox this month was "Gossip Girl."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I don't watch Gossip Girl, so I have no idea how these products relate to the show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The card says the samples were inspired by the series and Manhattan's chicest events. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. BVLGARI - Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette Spray (also known as perfume)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF in Glow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. fresh - Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15 ( I have already used and fallen in love with this stuff. A full size is $22.50. We'll have to see if I love it enough to pay that price when I'm done with the sample.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Kiehl's - Abyssine Cream+</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Lifestyle Extra - A notecard. (It's cute, but I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with one notecard yet.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it for my May Birchbox. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still no makeup, but maybe next month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I completely forgot about <a href="http://www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com/2012/05/you-capture-lines-2.html" target="_blank">You Capture</a>. I did take this one picture this weekend with You Capture in mind and it would be a shame to waste it.<br />

I hope everyone had a good weekend.Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15237767996569766937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380032156190576654.post-3933391696376989952012-05-11T19:46:00.000-05:002012-05-11T19:47:29.722-05:005 on Friday1. I hurt my back this week. I don't know how I did it, but for two days everything I did was painful.<br />
<br />
2. My Birchbox came in the mail yesterday. This time it was in a black box instead of pink. I'm assuming that had something to do with the "Gossip Girl" theme.<br />

3. Started reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess.) It is very good, I can't count the number of times I have laughed out loud.<br />
<br />
4. I went shopping with my friend on Thursday and I bought some new lipstick. It's always fun to try something new. (Well, not always, but trying new lipstick is usually okay.)<br />

5. I'm getting my hair cut next week and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. I always have horrible anxiety before getting my hair cut. (Which is why it only happens every 2 years.)<br />

Saturday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Warrior Dash - While not as hot as last year, it was still super hot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily I was able to find a shady spot to sit and the boys seemed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to have a good time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Cinco De Mayo Party - My husband's friend throws a party every year, and we</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had a great time hanging out with everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-It rained most of the day on Sunday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- We had lunch at my Dad's house with family, but we left early</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because we were still exhausted from Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How was your weekend? </div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Part 1: Weekend Recap</span><br />
<br />
This weekend wasn't a great one for me. I just wasn't feeling the best.<br />
<br />
BUT!! We did finish painting our house on Saturday.<br />
(Well, not completely finished, we still have some touch up work, but that is all!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Part 2: May Goals</span><br />
<br />
I have made some goals for the month of May.<br />
<br />
Nothing big, just some things that I think I would like to work on.<br />
<br />
The 3 B's:<br />
<br />
Bags - I really need to get back in the habit of bringing my own bags when I go shopping. I'm tired of all the plastic bags taking over my house.<br />
<br />
Blog - I feel like I've been doing an okay job of posting here, but I want to make a goal of posting at least 3 times a week for the month of May. <br />
<br />
Books - I have a lot of books that I want to read, but I don't seem to be making the time to read them. My goal is to read 3 books in May. (This doesn't now include the one I am currently reading because I only have a few chapters.)<br />
<br />
That's it for me.<br />
<br />
Do you have any goals for May? What are they?<br />

<br />
I've been meaning to say something about it, but I've been a little busy.<br />
<br />
I joined Pottermore a week ago since it has finally been opened to everyone.<br />
<br />
I was sorted into Gryffindor!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVSDnr-I0PN5lL9BnmlU5rASChaKoWUktbbQpr9Kdkbhec8NIFxDqrl54nMoMTl2QUG-15EQTgKjPBtAFZIuSN3e_5xe-mr4n6bWFQgUoS4PSIQnonKucevmnpNGMKy3zwN-61DwHEcxl-/s1600/IMG_0485.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVSDnr-I0PN5lL9BnmlU5rASChaKoWUktbbQpr9Kdkbhec8NIFxDqrl54nMoMTl2QUG-15EQTgKjPBtAFZIuSN3e_5xe-mr4n6bWFQgUoS4PSIQnonKucevmnpNGMKy3zwN-61DwHEcxl-/s640/IMG_0485.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I wasn't too surprised, as I have always felt that I belonged in Gryffindor, but I could also see myself being sorted into Hufflepuff.<br />
<br />
I was also assigned a wand in Ollivander's shop.<br />
<br />
My wand is 14 1/2 inches, elm, phoenix feather core, solid.<br />
<br />
I haven't gotten too far into the Pottermore experience, but what I've seen so far is pretty amazing.<br />
<br />
I love getting little bits of background information on the characters that didn't make it into the books.<br />
<br />
Information like:<br />
<br />
- How Petunia met Vernon Dursley.<br />
- Why Professor McGonagall is so passionate about beating Slytherin in Quidditch.<br />
<br />
If you are a Harry Potter fan, and you haven't already, you should definitely check out <a href="http://www.pottermore.com/" target="_blank">Pottermore</a>. <br />
<br />
If you have been sorted, which house are you in? If not, which house do you think you would be sorted into?Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15237767996569766937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380032156190576654.post-23205046101048703642012-04-23T12:52:00.003-05:002012-04-23T12:52:58.118-05:00Weekend Recap & You CaptureI don't know about you, but my weekend was exhausting.<br />
<br />
We started the (longer than planned) process of painting our house this weekend.<br />
<br />
I don't have much for a weekend recap because that is basically all we did.<br />
<br />
We had a chance to go to a NASCAR race, but we couldn't because we had to much work to do on the house. ( We have never watched NASCAR, but I think it would have been fun to try something new.)<br />
<br />
We were supposed to go to the mall so I could visit the Lush store and restock some of my products that I've used up...but I never got the chance.<br />
<br />

</div>
The one thing I did accomplish was getting my camera out and taking some pictures of "sunshine" for <a href="http://www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com/2012/04/you-capture-sunshine.html" target="_blank">You Capture</a>.<br /><br />Of course, I didn't think about it until Sunday and it was cloudy all day. So, I just had my camera around my neck while I worked outside and every once in awhile the sun would peek out for a few seconds and I would try to get a decent shot.<br /><br /> This was the best one:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />So that is all for my (kind of) sunny weekend recap.<br /><br />How was your weekend? Did you manage to have more fun than I did?<br />Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15237767996569766937noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380032156190576654.post-90624022541693050142012-04-18T05:00:00.000-05:002012-04-18T05:00:17.622-05:00April BirchboxI received my April Birchbox last week.<br />
<br />
This is my 3rd box, and I still think it's pretty exciting to get a package in the mail once a month.<br />
<br />
I never check to see what kind of items they might be sending. I like for it to be a surprise.<br />
<br />
I think it's more fun that way.<br />
<br />
The theme for April was "Natural Wonders." The packaging inside the box was green this month, which I loved!<br />
<br />
Green happens to be my favorite color.<br />
<br />
As always, I got some samples that I am really excited to try.<br />
<br />

<br />
1. Juice Beauty - Oil-Free Moisturizer<br />
<br />
2. Dropps - Laundry Detergent<br />
<br />
3. Amika - Obliphica Nourishing Mask<br />
<br />
4. Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift<br />
<br />
5. Zoya Nail Polish - Lotus from the TRUE Spring Collection<br />
<br />
<br />I am always excited to get nail polish in my box. It's fun to try new colors and the samples last a long time.<br />
<br />
It's hard to tell in the picture, but this nail polish is a very pretty purple color that has some glittery sparkles in it.<br />
<br />
I have already used the nail polish and while it is very pretty, I think I prefer the bright green color I got last month for spring. I think the darker colors are better for fall or winter.<br />
<br />
I am still enjoying Birchbox.<br />
<br />
The only complaint that I have so far is that I haven't received a lot of makeup products. In my first box I got some lip gloss and some stick on eyeliners (which were a disaster, by the way.) I can't complain too much because I have loved most of the samples that I have got, but I would like to see some more makeup samples.<br />
<br />
Maybe next month.<br />
<br />
What products do you love? Have you used any of the products that I got in my box? If so, what did you think of them?<br />

<br />
I realized a couple things last week.<br />
<br />
Not only was it not difficult to go without internet, I was a happier, more productive person without it.<br />
<br />
Once I forced myself out of my usual routine, I found that I had time to get all my work done with plenty of time to spare.<br />
<br />
In 5 days I :<br />
<br />
- Spent 1 day at the zoo with some family members.<br />
- Spent 1 day shopping with a friend.<br />
- Read 3 books.<br />
- And I still had time to do all the basic housework that I usually put off till the last minute because I'm too busy surfing the web.<br />
<br />
Now all of this doesn't mean that I'm not happy to be back.<br />
<br />
There were times when I wanted to look up information, but didn't because I knew it would cheating.<br />
<br />
I am more than happy to have to convenience of the internet back at my fingertips.<br />
<br />
The internet is really my only source for news and current events. It's how I find out what is going on in my city.<br />
<br />
I'm happy to be back.Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15237767996569766937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380032156190576654.post-51009272119031348142012-04-06T15:05:00.000-05:002012-04-06T15:05:14.185-05:00Time OffI've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately.<br />
<br />
When I'm overwhelmed, I tend to shut down.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this blog is always the first thing to go.<br />
<br />
Also, it's come to my attention that I really have no idea what I am doing with this blog.<br />
<br />
I rarely post and when I do, I don't really put a lot of effort into my posts.<br />
<br />
I know it's just fear. I'm afraid if I'm honest, people won't like me.<br />
<br />
I'm afraid if I actually try, people won't think it's good enough.<br />
<br />
I'm afraid that people will think my blog is stupid. (It kind of has been because of my lack of effort.)<br />
<br />
Anyways, I've been thinking hard about what I want to do with this blog, because I certainly don't want to get rid of it.<br />
<br />
I may decide to delete some past posts. I haven't decided yet.<br />
<br />
I wanted to let you guys know that I will be taking a break from the internet next week.<br />
<br />
That means no Facebook, Twitter, or reading other people's blogs. <br />
<br />
I feel like it's the main reason that I don't get anything done. It's just too good of a distraction.<br />
<br />
I'm going to use my time off to refocus my energy on what is important to me.<br />
<br />
There are 3 main areas I feel need my attention the most:<br />
<br />
1. Daily Routines - I feel like I can't focus on my work when my house is a mess. I am hoping to set some routines in place that will help me get my house in shape so when it comes time to work, I can do so without distractions.<br />
<br />
2. Blog - Like I said above, I need to figure out what I want for this blog. I'm hoping to come up with a posting schedule and some new ideas to keep my posts interesting.<br />
<br />
3. Pick up my Camera - One of the reasons I started this blog was to have a place to post pictures I took. I don't think I have picked up my camera since I got my iPhone (6 months ago!) It's just so convenient to use my camera's phone. The weather is nice and it's the perfect time for me to get back out there and start taking pictures again.<br />
<br />
So, that's it.<br />
<br />
Those are my plans.<br />
<br />
I guess I will see you in a week.<br />
<br />

I love getting packages in the mail, and it's even more fun when you have no idea what you are going to get. I thought it would be fun to show you what I got in my box, just like I did last month.<br />
<br />
The box looks like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This month's theme was "Spring Training."<br />
<br />

This is what it looked like when I opened the box:<br />
<br />

<br />
As always, there was an extra package in the box that you get to open, which is always fun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That's it for this month's Birchbox post. I enjoyed this box more than my first. I felt like the things in this box were things I would actually like to use, or at least try.<br />
<br />
I felt like last month's box had stuff that I would try just for fun since they gave it to me, but they weren't products I was actually interested in.<br />
<br />
It makes me wonder what they will send me next month.<br />

<br />
My week started early Monday morning at the gym. I'm slowly getting into the habit of going to the gym. I hate getting out of bed so early, but I'm always glad that I did.<br />
<br />
Also, I am excited to have these in the house this week...<br />
<br />

Forget what I said about the gym, these have been the highlight of my week. SO GOOD!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">3. Wednesday</span><br />
<br />
It was back to the gym on Wednesday morning.<br />
<br />
I received a couple of books that I had ordered from Amazon. These are books that I had read as a kid and have been looking for for years, but they aren't in print any more. After looking through every used book store, I just decided it was easier to order them from Amazon. I'm pretty sure that shipping was cheaper than all the gas used going to different stores.<br />

I also went to lunch with Nicole. We went to Chapala's, which is becoming our favorite spot for lunch.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">5. Friday</span><br />
<br />
I went to the gym again this morning. This was the first time I actually made it 3 times in one week even though that has always been the plan.<br />
<br />
I used my twilight bath bomb from Lush today. My bathroom smells great now and so do I!<br />

I should be getting my March Birchbox in the mail today. If so, that means that I will probably have a post about it sometime next week.<br />
<br />
Have a good weekend!<br />

<br />
At first we went to "just look around."<br />
<br />
Then, it very quickly escalated into trying bath bombs, facial cleanser, and shampoo.<br />
<br />
I thought it would be fun to quickly share what I bought yesterday.<br />
<br />
I have a feeling this won't be last Lush post on this blog. I am loving this store!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Bath Bombs</span><br />

<br />
It wasn't easy, but I was able to narrow it down to 3 bath bombs that I wanted to try. (I have a feeling that I will be trying the others soon enough.)<br />

(It is a monthly subscription service. You pay $10 a month, and every month you get a box in the mail with 4-5 deluxe beauty samples.)<br />
<br />
I joined Birchbox because I thought it would be a good way for me to try new products without having to spend a lot of money.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I got my very first box last week, and I'm excited to show you what I got.<br />
<br />
It comes in a box like this:<br />
<br />

That's all for this month's box. I hope you enjoyed this post.<br />
<br />
I know I've said it before, but I do hope to get back to regular blogging soon, last week was busier than expected.<br />
<br />
Until Next Time,<br />

<br />After an awesome lunch, we made a trip to Ulta.<br />
<br />
I have been trying to try out new beauty products so that I can find what really works for me.<br />
<br />
I bought a few new things to try.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYs_-JWjnvkrY6QMZfZjEwLo7BC6crDgedMwh_wXREmQyPcmChmkRUD9XsfpTxVeWsY0l8bst7LVm1KV-jimMkncFl-j9f4syyWSJvQHjHhm3StdUIRwhGs1VrDtA4Xc90IX8dMqe51ts6/s1600/IMG_0329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYs_-JWjnvkrY6QMZfZjEwLo7BC6crDgedMwh_wXREmQyPcmChmkRUD9XsfpTxVeWsY0l8bst7LVm1KV-jimMkncFl-j9f4syyWSJvQHjHhm3StdUIRwhGs1VrDtA4Xc90IX8dMqe51ts6/s400/IMG_0329.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
1. Eye Crayons - The darker one is Fairytale and the lighter one is Birthday Girl.<br />
<br />
I've worn them a couple times and I really like them. They are a little light when you put them on, but I don't mind that. <br />
<br />
2. Bronzer - I used just a little this weekend and it worked fine. I'm sure I will like it when I get the chance to use it a little more.<br />
<br />
Then, because I spent more than $17.50, I got all of this stuff for free. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
1. Eye Shadow <br />
<br />

<br />
I haven't used these yet, but the colors seem like ones that I will enjoy.<br />
<br />
2. 3 Brushes<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-C3zxiF7RzUhBZPfCdEw6ETDyIhXMy73vmk6mo-n91W6HXcdKwCbwmfYNMvhEwdoRB110oPgb1HAjp9BuemGnhwnM7tMs63IW8HbEDsuectuX4vqGjzwYoTy4XMPKA5LwF4cFNW6047oC/s1600/IMG_0334.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-C3zxiF7RzUhBZPfCdEw6ETDyIhXMy73vmk6mo-n91W6HXcdKwCbwmfYNMvhEwdoRB110oPgb1HAjp9BuemGnhwnM7tMs63IW8HbEDsuectuX4vqGjzwYoTy4XMPKA5LwF4cFNW6047oC/s400/IMG_0334.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
I used the bigger brush for my bronzer and it worked just fine. It's definitely not a great quality brush, but it does get the job done. <br />
<br />
3. Blush - Sweet Cheeks<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOEpR5s1LsfiDehFf-QvYtFs0tkTiXTgoS64U-kaE4_k8kcnribAZnvxTcPc1YiVG76YOu2AcQlYq8clCQn7x69Hn_bIiviNCWz_rM0nh1k5FmgvW1k2J_IMAnSL7HdYTjZteFgZ-UA7SX/s1600/IMG_0338.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOEpR5s1LsfiDehFf-QvYtFs0tkTiXTgoS64U-kaE4_k8kcnribAZnvxTcPc1YiVG76YOu2AcQlYq8clCQn7x69Hn_bIiviNCWz_rM0nh1k5FmgvW1k2J_IMAnSL7HdYTjZteFgZ-UA7SX/s400/IMG_0338.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
I haven't used this yet, but it looks like it will be a great color for me.<br />
<br />
4. Eyeliner - Black, Raisin, Plum, Deep Brown<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlHE1KsqYNf4tDKCwyn0Z0J5Jjaq_sa0-Q47Ee_OVGcQOOdsth5laekMlRuZaMVN9WREbMBAUhQkcz7R-u_IZqn_AdMoOX1iL-XqoRiTu6YYJNWw82opEbyBz3ckax3LnDQuYgZDIx9Y6f/s1600/IMG_0339.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlHE1KsqYNf4tDKCwyn0Z0J5Jjaq_sa0-Q47Ee_OVGcQOOdsth5laekMlRuZaMVN9WREbMBAUhQkcz7R-u_IZqn_AdMoOX1iL-XqoRiTu6YYJNWw82opEbyBz3ckax3LnDQuYgZDIx9Y6f/s400/IMG_0339.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
I tried to use the Plum, but it didn't really show up very well for me. I ended up just using my usual Cover Girl eyeliner instead.<br />
<br />
5. Mascara - Jet Black<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6SmVdOF_-POLGJdL4Ha5IAaE6YT0CD2q6t2jBWDiwWwDAk4XCpWlsrMFGUVwkDW-jrYuKT3mHBP-LLHNGkBzz7hEarVE_jLzMdtH9hnPf2Verfg49zf-5HZRtqhuE9yqQ6ytXQjpxBTr3/s1600/IMG_0340.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6SmVdOF_-POLGJdL4Ha5IAaE6YT0CD2q6t2jBWDiwWwDAk4XCpWlsrMFGUVwkDW-jrYuKT3mHBP-LLHNGkBzz7hEarVE_jLzMdtH9hnPf2Verfg49zf-5HZRtqhuE9yqQ6ytXQjpxBTr3/s400/IMG_0340.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
This was okay, although I didn't notice any extra volume. I don't think it did any better than my Cover Girl mascara. I did, however, like the smaller brush and I think it worked well for my lower eyelashes. <br />
<br />
6. Lip Gloss - Princess, Mischief<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcN5hwJ5lWcLb_vw_1S5B2yIGyxBmVlabqRier9v1cGPoKkORKVGw2di-b5x3jhg_Q4P-lKWhVYN8k9ELyoa31Dwig5mtS7pakUW_lIclzbq3zeNQlu2geo2q_GXmY4zDe7zpPa2WuSadK/s1600/IMG_0341.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcN5hwJ5lWcLb_vw_1S5B2yIGyxBmVlabqRier9v1cGPoKkORKVGw2di-b5x3jhg_Q4P-lKWhVYN8k9ELyoa31Dwig5mtS7pakUW_lIclzbq3zeNQlu2geo2q_GXmY4zDe7zpPa2WuSadK/s400/IMG_0341.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
This is just lip gloss. It works just fine.<br />
<br />
7. Lipstick - 211<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix1nClLVq3kC_Gt1LjbV06GzsSLKEMOwduElBrhxnFS5k26fHgdIHKKzTuip4WOzhgdMnLpUWTbTf0R8gRREGS7-FqGCr0OTL_7BnZ1RhV00ysBERP4EMSSVxVtUSKG1E1VxtreU-bllTv/s1600/IMG_0343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix1nClLVq3kC_Gt1LjbV06GzsSLKEMOwduElBrhxnFS5k26fHgdIHKKzTuip4WOzhgdMnLpUWTbTf0R8gRREGS7-FqGCr0OTL_7BnZ1RhV00ysBERP4EMSSVxVtUSKG1E1VxtreU-bllTv/s400/IMG_0343.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
For as dark as it is, the color doesn't really show up that well. (That's good because I didn't care for the color when I first saw it.) I think that this lipstick just feels cheap when I put it on. I definitely won't be buying it, but since I got it for free, I might wear it every now and then.<br />
<br />
8. Nail Polish - The Jungle Look<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0M_d6pslbF8bI3lzrMJHRSCW9q6h_8gUrvknimpyLmF_8pxrzd_GvCGorxPpgqgHnnmQMkvS2DSs2Sy1cRUprNLLebYJ9OzCB2HB8h60JIxEeBt11WMMoncPVVqpI8_BDWEuKqbnJzcxa/s1600/IMG_0346.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0M_d6pslbF8bI3lzrMJHRSCW9q6h_8gUrvknimpyLmF_8pxrzd_GvCGorxPpgqgHnnmQMkvS2DSs2Sy1cRUprNLLebYJ9OzCB2HB8h60JIxEeBt11WMMoncPVVqpI8_BDWEuKqbnJzcxa/s400/IMG_0346.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
I tried this nail polish, and it is very watery. I'm not sure if 10 coats would have been enough. I wiped it off and went back to my O.P.I. nail polish.<br />
<br />
9. Makeup Bag<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love this bag. Who can complain about a free makeup bag? It's super cute and it can hold quite a bit. It will be perfect for holding all the new makeup I will be trying out.<br />
<br />
That's it for this post.<br />
<br />

We had our first real snowfall of the year on Monday. We got maybe 2 inches. It was all gone by the next day.<br />
<br />
2. All my tests from my doctor have come back normal, so that is good news. Now I am trying out an inhaler for a couple weeks to see if it will help me....you know....breathe.<br />
<br />
3. I signed up for <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/" target="_blank">Birchbox</a> earlier this month. I should be getting my first box in the mail today, so I will try and have a post up about what I got sometime next week.<br />
<br />
4. I went to <a href="http://www.cheddars.com/" target="_blank">Cheddar's</a> for lunch yesterday. It was so good! I am already ready to go back.<br />
<br />
5. I bought a new cup last week and I really love it. I've been drinking a lot more water since I got it. I fill it up at least 4 or 5 times a day.<br />

<br />
I have been dealing with some health issues lately that have caused me to fall behind on my blog.<br />
<br />
Now that I am starting to feel better, the first thing I want to do is get back on track with this blog. I have missed writing here.<br />
<br />
I am hoping for posting to be back to normal by next week.Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15237767996569766937noreply@blogger.com0
