August Birchbox

It's that time of the month again!

Christmas in August Birch Box Style ;)

If you don't remember my post from last month check it out HERE.

I talk about what Birchbox is, how to sign up && the whole nitty gritty.

I still can't believe that its already mid August, where did this summer go?!

This month Birchbox's theme was "beauty school" a fun twist on the back to school shopping that is currently going on all over the world right now!

I've been subscribed to Birchbox for over a year now and I've gotta say, this was in my top 5.

I'm always up for new products & I can't wait to see if any of these become my new favorites!

I knew right when I opened it that this box was worth it! 

I have no idea how Birchbox knows me so well.

Last month I was running out of liquid eyeliner and low & behold I got some in my box,

this month? 

I was thinking about purchasing a new razer and thank you Birchbox for reading my mind once again.

This months Box I got:

Miss Jessie's Original Quick Curls {full size verison} - $32

Beauty Fixation Nail Polish Touch - Up  $5

Schick Hydro Silk Razer {with coupons for extra blades} - around $10 depending where you purchase it

PIXI Beauty Lid Last Shadow Pen - $18

Viva La Juicy La Fluer $70

So far so good!

Birchbox this month saved me $60 for 3 full size samples.

Not bad for a $10 subscription if you ask me ;)

If you would like to know more about birchbox check out the post I did here,

& here is a link to the website if you would like to sign up for your beauty subscription today!

Review:

I've been wanting to try the Miss Jessie's hair care products because I have naturally wavy hair.

&& I finally got too! I can't wait to try their other products.

I love how Birchbox has a way of changing your whole beauty routine.

& that razer is AMAZING.

I know Walmart carries it because I used my coupon to snag a few extra razers

I believe it was $7.94?

If you need a new razer I would definitely go check that one out!

As for the other products, I have yet to use my Pixi Eye Shadow Pen,

But the nail polish touch up wands actually aren't that bad!

for 5$ I would probably buy them because they are good to have on hand,

& provide less of a mess.

I've never been a big fan of Juicy,

back in middle school I did however buy into the whole juicy sweat suit fad

but that's about as far as I went with Juicy products.

I have a necklace & charm bracelet from them & was gifted their perfume.

I've just never really preferred it to other brands.

& this perfume was the same.

I didn't totally hate it, but I wouldn't buy it myself.

But perfumes are a tough thing to review,

it smells different on everyone & everyone has their own like when it comes to smells.

Have you tried any new beauty products lately?

What have been your favorite?

Do you have a fun beauty subscription or something similar?

I'd love to hear about it & hear from you!

Leave a comment bellow :)

Hope you all are having an amazing week!

I'll be back later this week with a post on the beauty products & make up I am currently crushing on lately!

2012 Fall Pledge

I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Did you miss me? ;)

I know it isn't even close to January, {4 months to be exact actually}

 But I'm going to make a resolution.

We can call it a "changing the leaf" pledge.

It can be mine & your way of getting back into the swing of things for this fall.

We all know by now that I am pretty horrible at keeping up with my lovely little blog here.

{whoops}

But I blame it on the heat.

This southern heat is slowlykillingme horrible.

My poor Pacific Northwest Soul can't take the constant 100 degree + weather.

{I know I sound pathetic, but seriously I can't take the heat}

haha pun anyone?!?!

So my "changing the leaf" pledge is to do more posts on a weekly basis.

I'm going to try my hardest to make it a goal of mine for 3 posts a week minimum.

&& you all better hold me to it ;)

But it won't be that hard once the weather starts calming down.

Which I can not wait for!

Did any of you happen to catch the fact that all the fall scents are out in stores now?!?!

You better believe I picked up tons of Pumpkin Pie & Warm Apple Pie Candles from Tj Maxx & Big Lots last weekend.

They got a huge shipment in of the candles that Target Candles && much more!

I horded like 10 of them & haven't stopped burning them since!

So if I were you I would definitely check out your local Target, Big Lots, Marshalls, HomeGoods, & Tj Maxx for the most yummiest candles ever.

Who doesn't love fall?!?

I am so excited for boots, yummy food, candles, cuddling up on the couch with blankets, tea & good books,

apple cider, all of my winter clothes {basically my whole closet, thank you Seattle for having cold weather year round && leaving me no clothes for the summer!} , and the list of fall lusting goes on.

I love holiday season, it trumps summer in my book any day.

Butttt back to current time.

Summer is almost over && I don't know if it is just me but I can't wait,

I love the hustle and bustle of fall-spring.

Summer is just way too laid back for my taste.

So I will have tons of D.I.Y. Crafts, Furniture Flips, Beauty Tips && Much more coming to you all soon!

I want to take this blog into many directions, not just furniture flips.

Because I do do more than just painting ;)

So I know this isn't one of my normal posts but I will be back later this week with a more "fun" post!

I hope you all have an amazing week, & live up the rest of your summer because September is fastly approaching!

Mint Green

Lately I have been color crushing on mint green. bad.

I always catch myself gravitating more & more towards mint green accessories.

It meshes so well with all the hues of grey I have in my house.

I will be sharing picture of our house soon, the purchase of a new couch turned into an overhaul of 

the living room downstairs ;)

I have some awesome D.I.Y. posts lined up for that, but for now,

I scored the cuuuuuuuutest little nightstand when my mom was in town.

&& of course, I incorporated my new color love into this lovely nightstand.

This little beauty is available for sale in the show now.

Before:

I'm not a big fan on these nightstands in their original state.

they are just a bit too rich? for my taste.

It just looks too stuffy.

But I love love love the shape and character of this style! 

I knew right away what hardware I wanted to put on it & what color I wanted.

Now she looks 10000x times better ;)

After:

I lovvvvvve this color so much!

It is by Valspar.

I don't quite know the name because my neighbor gave me the paint as mistint.

It has just enough color to it.

I decided to put some new old hardware on it.

I wanted to give it a different look then what originally came with it.

{which there was only one}

If you don't know what kind of pulls i'm talking about check out this post here.

I did a similar style set of night stands for a client in Kentucky Blue Grass by Color place.

Every single time I have furniture I get to sell I always want to keep them!

But could you blame me?!

I'm such a furniture junkie haha :)

These pulls were actually my old kitchen cabinet pulls.

If you don't remember then check out our kitchen reveal here.

I love that these pulls have history to them, it compliments this adorable nightstand so well.

They are modern enough but are still antique looking.

I think it makes a huge difference for this little night stand compared to its before.

You will be seeing much more mint pieces in my work coming up!

I'm currently working on a dresser that will be for sale in my shop as well in this color!

&& in case you forgot this one IS for sale;

check it out here with the other pieces I currently have for sale as well.

T.G.I.F!!

Too bad my work week doesn't end here ;)

I hope you all have amazing plans for this week & have a great day!

Happy Friday Everyone!
