Birchbox has always been one of my favorite subscription boxes.  Each month, you receive 4-6 samples based on a beauty profile you fill out.  It's only $10 a month and you can use coupon code: SUBSCRIBENOW50 to earn 50 points ($5) to spend in the Birchbox shop when you subscribe.  In addition, Birchbox allows you to choose one of your sample choices each month or choose a guest editor curated box.  After receiving your box, you can review each sample and share your box on facebook/twitter to earn 10 points per review/share (typically, you'll earn about 60 points a month just by doing this)!  Their point system is great and their customer service is amazing. If you haven't already signed up for a Birchbox subscription, please use my referral link  to do so!  There's nothing better than receiving a present in the mail every month and getting to try out new things. Here is this month's box!  I thought the design was perfect for the end of summe...

After waiting what seemed like forever, my June Birchbox finally arrived.  Although, I had already peeked when my items were revealed on the 10th of the month, I still always get excited to receive it!   If you aren't familiar with Birchbox, it's a monthly beauty subscription box where you received 4-6 sample items based on the profile information you fill out when you sign up.  It's only $10 a month and if you sign up now, you can use the code SUBSCRIBENOW50 to receive 50 points when you sign up ($5 to spend in the Birchbox shop).  So if you haven't done it already, please use my referral link to sign up! This month there were 3 different boxes you could receive.  Mine says "next stop adventure."  I think I would have liked this better if I could currently afford to go on an adventure.  Side note: I don't like to write negative things, but I will say this is the least favorite of the special boxes from 2015. This month's theme was ...

I feel like I'm ALWAYS the last person in the world to get my Birchbox .  I've been constantly stalking everyone else's reviews of their June box while I wait for mine to be delivered.  Rather than give into my jealousy and spend my Saturday doing that and tracking the shipping information that I know won't be changing every 5 seconds, I decided to blog about my most recent Birchbox purchases! For my one year anniversary, Birchbox gave me a 25% off coupon so I decided to use up my points and the coupon to get just a few things I had on my mind!  For every $1 you spend in the Birchbox shop, you get 1 reward point.  In addition, you can get 10 reward points for each product you review in your monthly Birchbox (typically around 5-6 products) PLUS 10 points for sharing your Birchbox on Facebook each month!  If you haven't already signed up for a Birchbox subscription, please use my referral link to sign up and take advantage of their awesome point syst...

I'll go ahead and admit I became a horrible blogger (my last post was in October....).  However, in my defense, I've had A LOT going on the last several months.  Let's just say that graduating law school, taking the bar, finding a job, finding a place to live, and basically all of my income going straight to student loans has been quite the adjustment.  I'll spare you all from the details and get to the real point of the first of many more posts to come as I get back into my regular blogging routine! Apparently, it's been a year since I subscribed to Birchbox !  I didn't even realize it until I received the Anniversary Key Chain from them.  So I thought, what better way to revive my blog than to write about my second May Birchbox ! This month, there was the option for a curated box by Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere .  However, I didn't opt for the curated box because I like to have somewhat of a surprise :)  The May Box is supposed ...

Happy  Birchbox  reveal day!   If you're like me, you love the 10th of every month because it means you get to take a sneak peek to see what will be in your Birchbox for that month.  Some subscribers are lucky enough to receive their box before this day, but the rest of us have to wait.  I'm too impatient to ever wait until I get my actual box so I always ruin the surprise.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please use my referral link and sign up for Birchbox to receive 4-5 deluxe sample size beauty products each month. Here's a screenshot of the products I'm receiving for October.  I didn't think that Birchbox would be able to compete with last month, but I'm thrilled to see that they didn't let me down!  I'm excited to be receiving 6 products because that means I'll get 60 Birchbox points for my review, which is $6 for the Birchbox shop! For this month's sample choice, I picked the  ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick  in ...

I'll go ahead and admit that I've been a horrible blogger recently.  Starting a new job has been really stressful, but I'm happy to say that I love my job.  I think its a really great fit for me and its such a great change from law school.  Plus its really helped me to get out of my comfort zone by having to answer the phones and deal with people who aren't always the nicest.  For the first time in my life, I finally feel like I've started a new path doing something I like rather than doing something that is just teaching me what I don't want to spend my life doing :) Anyway, now that I'm getting used to my new routine, I should be back to blogging more.  I figured the best way to celebrate my return to the blogging world would be to do a much belated review of September's Birchbox! For those of you who are unfamiliar with  Birchbox , it is a monthly subscription service that typically sends you 4-5 samples of beauty products for only $10...

I'm so excited to have had such a great first day of work that I can't help but feel like I need to keep doing things so I thought this evening would be a perfect time to blog!  I love being a productive member of society again plus it kind of helped that the building I work in had a customer appreciation day today so I got a free ice cream bar :)  There was also a moment where I had gotten so into filling out today's date with paper work that it was my birthday today!  Free ice cream + fake birthdays = a perfect tuesday. Anyway, yesterday morning I got a mysterious FedEx package with no note and just two packages of ChapStick in it!  I was extremely confused until I remembered that last week,  Birchbox  sent out an email with a contest for 100 Birchbloggers to win a set of Hydration Lock lip balms.  You had to tweet which one you were interested in trying and Birchbox was supposed to notify winners by email.  I never received an email s...
