Thursday Thoughts! :-)





Its time for another Thursday thoughts...a link up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom!

Oh man what a week it has been!
- I have a trainee at work, which means crazy extra hours, and we are in the final week of fundraising for our fiscal year, but just surpassed all of last years numbers so its a good time but stressful, and some long days!

-I got Yes To chapstick in my June Birchbox...and despite not having tried it yet. I heard good things about Yes To Products and saw them on sale at Target, found a coupon and scored the Blueberry Shampoo, Conditioner, and two one time use face masks one cucumber one tomato for like $6 total. (this is due to a gift card back deal for every 2 yes to products you buy and the $2 off coupons from the Yes To Facebook page) My cashier was like, and you get a $5 gift card...which you already knew i bet. They know me and my couponing ways at target. #couponproblems! :-) (everyone should note that my spell check wants to change couponing to conning which made me laugh)

-I am REALLY hoping my June Treatsie arrives tomorrow, I saw a spoiler on their facebook that someones arrived and it has like SO MANY goodies inside of it!!! yay for deliciousness  I will do a review AS SOON AS i get my greedy little hands on it!

- I got TONS of boxes this month, and i had told my boyfriend I scaled back..oops? I will do some reviews for the products but I received ..birchbox, ipsy, bulubox, pawalla, conscious box, the target box, julep destination mystery box, popsugar, FINALLY GOT my coco rocha fancy box, and stunner of the month. I also have two orders out for the julep warehouse sale, got an order from like 6 weeks ago from hautelook, two social monograms orders coming in, glossybox, bespoke post, and treatsie that i am waiting on. I think thats it, but WOAH mail this month! (Oh and four-five bzzagent campaigns! I am going to review them all at once, I was waiting for my fried chicken coupons! Dinner Friday maybe? ;-)

-I got selected for a Mary Kay Influenster box, and am SO excited. Its my first voxbox, and since I don't know what that means or what to expect I am stoked! I like deals, and free stuff, and will try anything once. I also like to splurge on myself! I work hard, so i am a good catch for a product if its fantastic! At 25 I have a lot of years to be a customer! I hope  :-/

-I recently got a coastal scents palette, AND the lorac eye candy full face palette (from Christmas time?) and am so excited about playing with new makeup. I do however realize this whole sub box and makeup thing is going to take over my TINY vanity, so I have been looking for storage options. I want a polish rack mostly because its cool, and got some nice cups for like liners, and brushes and tube like items, but need some other solutions... and a new vanity! Any thoughts? I know Ikea has good stuff, but the closest one is like 2 hours away in Charlotte, and  I am already driving home to NJ next week so I dunno if I want to be doing that drive soon.

-I get to go HOME in 9 days! See my mom, my siblings, and ALL my friends! :-) I get to throw my best friend a surprise Bridal shower too. Is this a good or bad idea? Anyone know? I'm unmarried so I have NO idea if this is a good or bad thing! lol

  1. Here from Thursday Thoughts! Love your reviews! I scaled back with my boxes too (at least I thought i did!) My bridal shower was not a surprise because im not a big surprise person, BUT i know plenty of people that have surprise bridal showers and are super happy! :)

    1. Thanks! Good to hear it. I honestly think that my friend who is getting married has never even been to a bridal shower so I don't think she has big dreams of something crazy! I am excited and nervous! Its next weekend!

  2. everyone is talking about getting married today. i did it on two weeks notice so no shower! i also had been living with my husband for years and had a 1 year old. :)

    but yeah, surprise is fun because a lot of people don't expect them anymore.

    1. all the talk of weddings because of the summer.. Wedding season seems to happen when its hot sticky and humid outside. I am TOTALLY getting married in the winter. :-) Surprises ARE fun! I hope she thinks so too!

  3. Bridal showers are always a good idea! It'll be fun :) (I'm not married either). I'm jealous that you got the Mark Kay voxbox! They are a lot of fun :)
