Another spoiler post! This Month Birchbox shared a spoiler video here! The video showed us a FEW spoilers!

The theme for the month is Heritage and 100 subscribers will be getting $100 to spend in the birchbox shop! SO hoping that i get a golden ticket! ;-)

Spoilers Include!

Everyone will be getting a Ruffian Nail Polish! They mentioned two collections (both are on the website) in the video, so I think we could get one from either collection.



Surge Normant Hair Spray!


Davines Sea Salt Spray


Mereadesso All in One Moisturizer

Yes To GrapeFruit CC Cream- 

Amika  Dry Shampoo- I am kind of over dry shampoos. I have greasy hair and should LOVE these, but just havent found one I love/that works well and I am sick of trying it, plus if my hair is gross I feel gross and just want a shower all day. 

Amika Blow Out Spray- Can someone please explain wtf a blow out is? Someone else blow drying your hair? 


All in all I am excited to get the nail polish and hope i get some other AWESOME goodies in my birchbox. I just love trying new things and being surprised!

September Spoilers! Glossybox

Spoiler Time! While I impatiently wait for my popsugar box to arrive I spend my days looking at spoilers! This month we have quite a few to share starting with Glossybox!

Glossybox!
 An email to subscribers told us that we would be receiving four full size items totaling $110 and one of the items is a Full Size Diamax Thickening treatment!
Email saying we get four FULL SIZE products which are worth $110

This is the first item! It seems to get mixed reviews but I am very interested in trying these! I am also interested to see what else is in the box because the other three FULL SIZE items value $60....so it will be very interesting to see what else is included! 

I will update more as I find it! Interested in getting glossybox? Sign up HERE

The BEST of August!

I am going to countdown my top ten August things that I LOVED


1. I don't know if this counts for August but from Bzzagent i got the new Kashi Hummus Crisps and holy shit they are delicious. I do like hummus, and wasn't really sure what to expect. They are made from chick-peas but not hummus flavored if that makes sense. They are olive oil and sea salt flavored and YUM! Try them!
2. Violet Oasis Hand Lotion- This is a duplicate favorite i think. I got this in a birchbox awhile ago, and LOVED it enough to buy it...well use all my BB points i hoarded for MONTHS because it costs $35 for this ONE lotion. i got the full size and I just LOVE IT! It smells great and is fantastic.
3. Lorac Eye Shadow- Hautelook Summer Beauty Bag- This was busted when i got my bag from Hautelook....but even as a loose shadow it is amazing. I love bright blue and teal shades so this is perfect for me!

4. Laura Gellar Baked Blush- Hautelook Summer Beauty Bag- I have NEVER loved a blush, but this one is AMAZING. Its just so pretty on me, and its not to bright, I can use it (from someone who uses NO blush ever, this is important) and i was not expecting to like, or love it! So its a WIN! Get this!

5. Fruitables from Barkbox- I like that these are tiny and wetish. My dog is BIG but still a puppy and having smaller strongly scented treats are so good for her!


6. Cappuccino Crunch Truffle bar from Seattle's Chocolates- Treatsie. Oh Man, Foodgasm. If you like coffee, and chocolate this is the most delicious candy bar I have gotten from a box (this honor was previously held by the chocolate pretzel bar from a fancy box) but this was SO MUCH BETTER. I seriously go to buy more like ever other day. If anyone wants to send me birthday gifts in November these schoolmate bars would be wonderful! ;-)  Oh and did i forget to mention it came melted EVERYWHERE and the smell was so amazing i still ate it after trying to harden it again? I only got like half a bar and I'm still in LOVE.


7. Pacifica BB Cream- Ipsy. This stuff works wonders. I had it in my makeup bag from an old box and it coming in my ipsy this month reminded me of how awesome it works with my skin. I hear some people don't have positive things going on with it, It is one shade...which may turn people off. I will try anything and I think it works very well on my skin. it gives me a nice glow! (I can probably only use this in the summer when i am tanner. haha)


8. Whish Deodorant swipe birchbox- Ok so when i got this i was like WTF BIRCHBOX this Sucks! Then i tried it one day when i was all gross (sorry for the TMI) and it smells great, I think it worked well, and honestly its just smart and convenient.  It was a huge win for me!


9. May Designs- Weekly to do's- Popsugar Must Have- I just did a Popsugar Top Ten (with a coupon!) list as well. and i just LOVE this planner. Its cute, fun, and a good idea!

10.  Naturebox Apple Slices- Popsugar Must Have- These were also in the popsugar box this month and were yummy. So yummy!


Those were the BEST of August, and honestly I am not that impressed. Normally I go to make this list and think WOW and THIS and THIS and THAT! All great! however this month it was bit more of a struggle. COME ON SEPTEMBER! I hope you rock! ;-)

Thursday Thoughts!




I am linking up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for Thursday thoughts!




-Its been awhile since I have done this link up! Life has been so crazy..and I missed recapping exciting, and crazy things every week! I also was so excited that this blog got 3,000 views! I think its all spam bots...bahaha but if even a few people read (they do! I get comments and LOVE seeing them!) then I am happy just expressing myself anyway! Its like an Adult Diary other people get to read.

-I am going to ad coupon deals to my blog also. I LOVE a good deal. And Target. Target clearance is like my favorite thing ever, (if you follow on Instagram you can see my Target Clearance finds mixed in with the boxes i get!) Last week i found the summer fruit eos set of two on clearance for like $9. I was SO excited since they are like $4 each at CVS so...Four of them for 9 bucks is a steal!

- I am cutting back on boxes this month because I am SO ready for some saving, debt paying off, and my boyfriend is going NUTS with all the packages, I haven't been able to use everything anyway! This month I will be getting Ipsy, Popsugar, Birchbox, Glossybox, Goodies, and Treatsie! I also have a few bespoke post boxes pre paid for (I skipped this month only because I am moving and don't want the AWESOME coffee press to break! I also have a Keurig) I also have some credits on Hautelook,  Sephora, and Julep and might be cashing them in so i get more boxes! Haha

-I am going to do a Welcome to the Subscription Boxes Post I think, and rate MY favorite boxes, and chat a little about each one I have tried in one spot. I want to 'reminisce" about all my boxes, why i kept, stopped, or want to try the ones i know about!

-My FAVORITES from August (The Best of August) will be coming soon! I cannot believe it is September my BEST FRIEND GETS MARRIED in two weeks. Its unbelievable that its here, It feels like yesterday she was getting engaged, etc.

-I am doing a box swap, and nail polish swap and am super excited about them. I love getting packages (obviously) and cannot WAIT to my turn!

-The Challenge (MTV Reality Show) is on and OMG I WANT CT AND DIEM BACK TOGETHER ALREADY! UGH!

Happy Thursday!

PopSugar- It is a MUST Have..My Top Ten and POPSUGAR COUPON CODES

Popsugar Must Have has become my FAVORITE Box, I never know what to expect. Its a surprise, and its NOT JUST MAKEUP. Its everything. Sometimes I love it, Sometimes my BOYFRIEND loves it. Its completely random... (they don't think so, but I do) and its the best $35 dollars i spend every month.

Popsugar must have is the PERFECT gift for pretty much anyone! Interested? Sign Up Here

Lets count down my TOP TEN Popsugar Loves     
(IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)

                                         1. Sashi Braclet
 This was a huge miss for me and then I found a way to struggle to get it on my wrist (and now it DOESN'T come off) its cute, adorable really, and goes with EVERYTHING. Mine is not this vibrant blue but is more muted, and so cute!



2.Cookie Chips. OMFG amazing.
I stalk whole foods for these chips. I went in daily for a week for them to restock only to find they didnt have this flavor. Which is AWESOME. Please try these, and you are welcome in advance. 

3. Iced Tea 


I was MORE than skeptical. Then I ran out of milk, juice, AND soda and was left drinking water and feeling flavorless and to lazy to go buy some milk. So i was like ok why not lets make some tea. I then drank the entire pitcher, and made the second one. I have tried finding this EVERYWHERE, and want more so freaking bad. I only have one pouch left. Its hidden from myself. :-) 

4 Tassel Necklace.
 I haven't had much faith in popsugars choices sometimes. Until I use the products, and this necklace was that for me. Its weird. odd, but with the right outfit is super cute. I actually sold mine on ebay, found an outfit it would look AMAZING on, and found someone who would trade me for it. I needed it back that badly. I now LOVE it. You never know until you try something and well... They win. Popsugar knows best! 

5.Beauty Blender

they sent a beauty blender. Enough said

6. Weekly To Do's Planner 
So cute, adorable and came with a code to get $5 off your order! Love! 

7.Apple Chips from Nature Box
I was NOT excited about these (yet AGAIN) but OMG SO GOOD. I devoured the bag in minutes (ok like an hour...) and was just impressed. I will be ordering Nature Box in the future! JUST FOR THESE! 

8.Pacifica Lip Tint
Pacifica is my new favorite line of everything. I love the color this adds without being complicated (no mirror needed)


9.CorckaToo Corkscrew

 this came in my first box and I just found to be adorable, fun, and useful. Everyone needs a corkscrew, and a spare or two are good if you have one already! Its fun! I also LOVE wine :-) 

10. Summer Fun Box
My last favorite is the summer fun box. I loved my candle, my water bottle was AMAZING, and the Vitabath Exfoliator is running low and I am dying inside because of it. It was a FANTASTIC box (This was a one of a kind seasonal box and the price point was at $100 not $35. 





I had so many more favorites. The boxes are great! You get a surprise present, and are bound to LOVE SOMETHING. The things I don't adore? I ebay or save for a friend or family member, someone is BOUND to love it. For example that water bottle? My boyfriend STOLE it immediately. It keeps your beverage hot OR cold for up to 24 hours! Crazy right? 
Sign up now, September is ALREADY sold out! Don't miss out on October Too! Or start someones Birthday, or Christmas shopping EARLY and get them in on the fun! use the code

Sunday Social

I am linking up with a Complete Waste of Makeup for Sunday Social! 



1. What was your favorite trip/vacation/activity this summer?
  My best friends Bridal Shower! I was able to go home, spend time partying with friends, and then "surprise" her with a shower with family and friends! It was fantastic. 
the NEXT best thing was a trip to the beach with my mom and sisters. It was nice to get away, and also very odd to be without my Dad and Brother. 

2. What was your favorite outfit look/clothing item of the summer?
I have been stuck in a very boring "look" over the past few years. Jeans and T-shirts. This summer i found jewelry, and dresses. Can you believe I didn't wear a dress or skirt except for very formal events (Sorority formals, weddings, that's IT) for YEARS...probably since....forever? haha or when my mom still dressed me, and even then Dresses didn't happen often. 
my current favorites (Target Clearance Finds!)




3. What is one thing you wish you’d gotten to do this summer?
 WINERY TOURS! I love winery's. I get to try wine before I buy it, and buy them for the road! :-) I mapped out wineries in North Carolina and HOLY SHIT look at this?! Too bad i live in South Carolina. A road trip is in my future. :-) 


4. What was your favorite song of the summer?
 My favorite summer song is always going to be Summer State of mind. So good. Please listen here its so good! For the past few years, this is the song I play leading up to wanting summer here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QHo6-lWSPQ


5. What was your favorite movie/tv show of the summer?
 hurm, The Challenge Rivals 2! I want to be on this show and be friends with these crazy fucking people. And Hells Kitchen, and basically anything with Gordan Ramsay in it. Man he makes me feel like an AWESOME boss. I can be a bitch but he is just awful! I LOVE it.
