Birchbox – Clean Beauty Limited Edition Box

March 26, 2019 No Comments

I feel like Birchbox is one of the OG beauty boxes but I’ve never once purchased one. Partially because when it originally came out I had next to zero extra funds to get a subscription and partially because now the items in the monthly box aren’t necessarily products I would consider using. But I recently saw they had this special Clean Beauty Limited Edition box and it was too good of a deal to pass up. The value of the box is $219 and comes with 10 full size items, 1 travel size item and a rose quartz face roller. […]

Put to the Test – Round 4

May 17, 2018 No Comments

I’m here with another samples post, aka: the low-down on my first impressions of another round of fab products. Samples are a great way to try products you’re unsure about or might have never otherwise tried. I think that’s why I love them so much. Maybe I’m a product commitment-phobe, but whatever, I just like to be sure before I spend my money on something. Not only because I hate wasting money, but I also hate wasting products. I’m sure there’s some stat about how much we Americans waste every year by throwing away half used products (I couldn’t find […]

Earth Day 2018

April 21, 2018 No Comments

Your gonna have to buckle up people because this week the awareness campaigns for two of the things I’m most passionate about collide – the earth and fertility. April is Earth month (with Sunday of course being Earth Day) and this week is National Infertility Awareness week so I’ve got several posts commin’ at ya. I think their colliding is kind of perfect because they’re both so interconnected. Mother earth’s fertility depends on us caring for her and our fertility depends on us caring for ourselves. Fertility is at the root of it all people, whether you’d like to admit […]

Goddess Provisions Box: Past Box Favorites

April 12, 2018 No Comments

I just can’t get enough of this subscription box! I told myself that I’d stop the subscription once all this fertility business is over but “lucky me” it just keeps going on therefor so does the subscription! It’s like my little treat for getting through the months and for motivation to keep going too. I love nothing more than getting surprises in the mail and while I always know it’s coming, I try not to sneak peek what’s in it. It makes it feel like a Christmas present when it arrives (it’s for my inner child obviously). Since I’d taken […]

Zuzu Luxe Liquid Eyeliner – Raven

April 5, 2018 No Comments

It’s said that the eyes are the window to the soul. I think you can learn a lot about someone through their eyes, and even in how they choose to enhance them. I think it seems as if we like to enhance them the most of all our features too. Following the metaphor, it’s like how people paint the doors to their homes or put shutters or curtains on their windows, we want to make our eyes look most inviting. I don’t know if that makes sense but to me it does and I’m no different. Eye makeup is what […]

Put to the Test – Round 3

April 3, 2018 No Comments

Here I am with another sample stash post! I’m loving working my way through over here. It’s been so fun to try out new products. So far I’ve been trying the product out without looking up it’s description online first. It’s kind of fun to check the description afterwards and see if the conclusion I came to is what the intent was. This mostly applies to scents and colors I guess. I feel like I have a pretty good sense of smell (my husband says too sensitive sometimes haha) and I’d like to think I have a keen eye for […]

Current Faves: Spot Treatments

March 29, 2018 No Comments

I’ve been struggling to find the perfect spot treatment. I want something that is easy to apply, doesn’t cause drying, reduces redness, smoothes my skin, flatten zits, and make blemishes disappear instantly. Poof! Like, I’m just over here looking for real life magic, is that to much to ask for? I guess so, as I’m finding that discovering the perfect spot treatment is as elusive as getting a glimpse of the lochness monster. I keep hearing its out there but I have yet to find it myself. I have two on rotation right now that I think I like (but […]

Put to the Test – Round 2

March 20, 2018 No Comments

I’m back with another round of samples/single items from my stash. I say single items because I’m prone to picking up items at the store (any store really) that come in a single form (like the Larabar below) to try out – I’m a sucker for products I’ve never tried before! Then, because I only have one, I forget to try it (or put off trying it) so I’m lumping things like that in with my sample stash because it feels like a sample to me even though I didn’t get it as freebie or an intended sample. Anyway, with […]

Pixi Large Lash Mascara

March 14, 2018 No Comments

Mascara is my green beauty nemesis. I just can’t find one that agrees with my eyes. It’s not that I don’t like what they do for my lashes (most of them perform great), it’s more what they do to my eyeballs that I can’t live with. I have some sort of allergy to an ingredient that appears to be in each clean mascara that I’ve tried that leaves my eyes unbearably itchy, puffy and red. Now I haven’t done any sort of hard research or comparison of ingredients to figure out what that pesky allergy-causer is so there might be […]

Put to the test – Round 1

March 6, 2018 No Comments

Samples you guys! They are like candy to me. Like if Halloween was just trick-or-treating for skincare samples you couldn’t stop me. I’d be all over that. I’m not joking about my love for samples, I even had a dream last night that I was at a parade and they were throwing skincare samples instead of candy. Can you imagine?! I mean, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE candy too, but I love trying new products even more (ok, maybe it’s a tie). I love sample so much that I will order from companies who sell them or include them […]
