My First Birchbox! & 2015

One of the things I asked for on Christmas was a one year Birchbox subscription! I have heard many great things about it and want to try it out. The best gifts are those that keep on giving, right!
My first box came in the mail on Christmas Eve! Great timing! The blue package it came in is so cute! Blue is my favorite color!

My first box's products are:
Harvey Prince Ageless
Stainiac by TheBalm
Suki exfoliate foaming cleanser
Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy body wash
Juice Beauty Stem Cellular moisturizer


I also received Hello by Harvey Prince for Christmas! It's a very light scent, but still very warm & classy. Hello is described as welcoming, loving, and refreshing with notes of meyer lemon, white grapefruit, satsuma mandarin, summer forsythia, pink plumeria, wild verbena, Tahitian vanilla, and sensual musk.
Ageless is described as fresh, sensual, and luminous. It has notes of pink grapefruit, pomegranate, mango, jasmine, tuberose, ylangylang,and sandalwood! It reminds me of the beach!
It all sounds very good.. I know.
I think I shall just take a bite. ;)



This year has brought many new experiences. I'm thankful for what they have taught me, and what 2015 will bring. I hope everyone can find something good in this past year, and this coming year is full of wonderful experiences!

With that being said.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

    August? Already? Where did summer go? Summer is my favorite season. I love everything about it- warm nights, lightning bugs, fruity drinks, and swimming in clear water. Too bad it seems to be the shortest season around here..
   This year has brought many changes and new experiences. From traveling 3 different countries to losing a loved one. I'm so thankful for the lessons I have learned and how much I have grown as a person. Things may not always go as we want or expect them too, but we must remember, God has a plan for us.

It's true that you tell the people you love everyday that you love them. This is especially hard for me because I'm not a very affectionate person.. but atleast make sure they know how much they mean to you! Spend as much time as you can with those close to you. Talk about their childhood, experiences, dreams, life lessons, ask them questions! I will never forget the things my mawmaw taught me & how she shaped who I am as a person. I'm so thankful I got to spend the time with her I did! I'm most definitely the most like her out of her grandchildren.. we had a special bond. So many memories that mean SOOO much to me... now I know she is in a better place, with all the people she always talked about, and of course, with God. 

Those memories will forever reside in my heart. I was blessed to have such a extremely loving, classy, thoughtful grandmother! RIP mawmaw Lynn. <3

Wake up everyday and consciously make an effort to make it the best day you can. When things get tough, always keep hope, because without it, we have nothing.
