I take a lot of pics with my phone throughout the week. Mostly they get posted to facebook and occasionally I print them out to scrapbook. The quality isn't the best, but I do enjoy the fast pace at which you can snap a pic and instantly share it with all your friends... So I thought it might be fun to start doing this weekend review where I post my pics on here from the week...

Hey everyone! Hope you've been enjoying the lovely month of June. I'm happy that we are enjoying warm days. I used to hate the warm weather as it gets pretty toasty here in the summer. But the older I get the more I despise winter with it's frigid temps. Thankfully I live in the south where it doesn't get too cold. But...it's still too cold for me. I just get so lazy in the winter...only wanting to eat and sleep...and hating to crawl out of bed. So I've told myself once the warm weather comes I will not complain. And everyday the temps have been climbing into the high 90's and I begin to long for it to be a bit cooler, I simply remind myself of the cold temps a few months ago and instantly I'm loving this very warm weather. :-)
On to other things... Have you heard of Birchbox? It's a monthly subscription for deluxe beauty samples for only $10 per month. Now at first I thought that seemed a bit odd...pay to get samples. Especially what if I hated all the samples they gave me. But, they also throw in full size products a lot of the times. After watching some youtube videos where people were showcasing the products they were sent I decided to give it a try. Last week I received my first box in the mail...LOVE it! It's going to be so fun every month waiting for the box to be delivered, not knowing what is in mine. Now I did watch a few videos from youtubers showing off their June Birchbox...and I kinda regretted that. I think next month I'll hold off until after I've opened mine that way it's a complete surprise. Below is my video showcasing the products I received...enjoy!
yay! i'm excited to mark off #5 from my birthday bucket list... that's right folks, i'm getting some videos up on youtube. this one is a little raw...done about 11pm...so i'm whispering and it's pretty dark. and there is the fact i used photobooth which created a mirrored image, which is a bit irritating, but next time i'll just use imovie to record too...but i was pleasantly surprised it turned out so well. i did have to edit out about 7min...lol...guess i ramble on ;-)
a little background on this video. my friends kidnapped me for my birthday and took me out of town. one thing we did was a bit of shopping as they know how much i enjoy it. so this is my purchases from gap, anthropologie, mac (dillards) and sephora.
let me know what you think...
do you use any of these products i purchased?
do you have any recommendations for purchases for me??
Just a quick post to share two videos. The first is from a little over a week ago when I was vacationing in Panama City. And the second is just a quick tour of the hotel I stayed at this weekend while being "kidnapped" by my friends for a birthday trip...enjoy!
Just a few days I ago I had a birthday!...turned 28 on the 30th. 28 feels...idk, just okay. LOL. Right now it sounds too old for me. 25 was a bit hard realizing I was half way through my 20's. 26 was a really good fit. When I hit 27, I realized I was well on my way to 30...which just sounds way too old for me. But somehow 30 is sounding less daunting the closer I get to it ;-)
Ever since I saw one of these lists, I've wanted to make one and couldn't wait until my birthday to start. I was actually a bit surprised as I got about two-thirds into the list I had a harder time thinking of things to complete the list. I'll try to keep it updated as I complete things. And I'm thinking of adding it to my side bar so it will be easier for you to keep updated!
