The BEST OF September!
Its that time when I get to go through all my instagram photos and find the stuff i loved the MOST from the past month!
1. The Chocolate Expresso Cookie from my Treatsie box. OMG So delicious you can learn more (and buy some) here. I love everything chocolate, and coffee so these were right up my alley. The other cookies in this months box were also top notch but the expresso and chocolate was the BEST!.
2. Diffuser from PopSugar Must Have- This diffuser came at the perfect time, moving into a new apartment that was empty for a few weeks is kinda smelly., It was great to take this over and leave it in the kitchen! It made the whole apartment smell amazing!
3. Kashi Hummus Crips in Goodies Co- I got this chip type in an influenster box and I am IN LOVE. When I got another flavor in my goodies co It sealed my fate. (they are on sale at target this week also, buy three Kashi items get one free. I will be stocking up!)
4. NYX eyeshadow from Ipsy- My eyeshadow came broken but ipsy sent me another but I got a georgous silver color!
5. Yes Too Blueberries Wipes from Birchbox- These are amazing! They are age refresh and I am only 26..but i LOVE the smell!
6. Cargo Eye shadow Palette ( Ulta 21 Days of Beauty)- So this is kind of not from subs, but i was lucky enough to get the Cargo Eye shadow palette during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty and I LOVE IT! Its wonderful, and has great colors. Huge Fan!
7. BCBG Perfume from Glossybox!- I am normally not a fan of perfumes that get sent out, but this one is good! I also am a huge fan of rollerballs, its enough to last awhile without making me feel like i am going to waste it!
8. Stila Lipstick from Birchbox LOCAL- Loving this! Lasts forever such a great color!
9. Blue/Black bauble Earrings from Little Black Bag- I need to look up what these were called AND check for a photo but I got an adorable pair of earrings. I have been loving big dangly earrings. I used to wear a ton of them then played sports in HS and it was a hassle, and was just lazy in college so I am enjoying getting back to jewelry and makeup!
10. BIRCHBOX LOCAL! I Loved being able to attend this. Since I was home (in NJ) for a wedding the week of birchbox Local. I dragged my lil sister into NYC to get a "nail polish change" for $15 bucks. SO we show up, and its amazing, such a cute lil spot. We get escorted into the back where we get a full manicure from a really nice manicurist, and chat with the alessandro and tweezerman reps who are also really nice. Then after that we got to go pick out five "samples" for our birchbox. My SAMPLES were amazing. I got a full size CC cream, a Full size highlighter, and a full size make up remover. All of this (nail polish change, five items for $15) it was great! They also gave us water bottles while we waited, and candy! (More photos are on my instagram if you are interested in checking out what it looked like! )
So that is my top ten for September!
1. The Chocolate Expresso Cookie from my Treatsie box. OMG So delicious you can learn more (and buy some) here. I love everything chocolate, and coffee so these were right up my alley. The other cookies in this months box were also top notch but the expresso and chocolate was the BEST!.

October- What should be coming in the MAIL!
Most of the fun of subscription boxes for me is the WAITING. The knowing its coming, and figuring out what and when and whats inside, and the spoilers, and that excitment leading up! So I am going to try and start doing a monthly post of whats coming this month. It will keep me honest about how many "splurge" boxes i get throughout the month! I will also include orders I made, or goodies I am getting free to "review"
1. Birchbox Sub #1
2. Birchbox Sub #2 (I JUST got this with the $99 code, and the free you pick two, AND the free mini hairfryer) I couldnt resist!
3. Ipsy
4. Treatsie
5. Glossybox
6. Glossybox 2 (I bought a second once I saw the TARTE eyeshadow spoiler, I may buy more through ebates as a "gift" because its only $12.25! ) They would make great christmas gifts! I just want to see what else is in the box!
7. Popsugar Must Have!
8. FabFitFun (I signed up for the FIRST time, I want that scarf)!
9. Influenster K CupsPack! (also coming with coupons from Keurig.com for HALF OFF A coffee pot! If anyone wants a code let me know!)
10. Swaggable- Chocolate Brownie Brittle Chips!
11. A Diamond Candle!

Its been way to long!
This past month has been CRAZY! I drove all the way home to NJ for a friends wedding! I was the maid of honor!
I also signed a new lease with the boyfriend, and we are in the process's of moving from one apt to another.
I also have had CRAZY things going on at work!
I also BOUGHT THE DOMAIN crazyaboutsubscriptionboxes.com! SO I will be moving everything to that in the coming weeks.
Its also my baby sisters birthday today! (She is 22 and coming to move in with me this weekend! Which is a BIG deal because she lives in NJ with the rest of our family now, and is moving to South Carolina!!)
So that's life, and the reason for the lack of posts. I AM GETTING BACK ON THE wagon and will be posting more!
Another thing I GOT 100 random followers on Instagram! SO COOL!

Thursday Thoughts..
I am linking up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for Thursday Thoughts!!!
- Today was the LAST DAY OF WORK, before going home to NJ for my best friends bachelorette party and wedding! I am excited to spend a week at home doing wedding stuff...and I may pop into NYC to Chelsea Market for the birchox pop up store!
-I want a BAGEL, a slice of Pizza, and maybe a steak. Home is food, and besides my family and friends that's what i miss! and CORN! Omg I know people think of Jersey as being a shithole with fish pumping idoits and one big blacktop traffic clusterf*uck but Jersey corn is the BEST!
-I cut down my boxes and miss getting mail! WHAH! Also WHERE IS MY POPSUGAR?! Come on Popsugar, WTF I want my September popsugar box. The one I normally HAVE already....that hasnt even SHIPPED yet?! Come on! lets get it together! Glossybox gets to send later, and always be late! Not you! you are always SO good!
- The above comment makes me recognize I have a problem.
- I need somewhere to live. When we come back from the Wedding we need to sign a new lease like WOAH.
- Work has been hectic, like 11am to 11pm days all week. So basically, I worked so much my "vacation days" are really just me putting one weeks work load in another week. I am however really excited to see how my students do without me! It will be a reflection of me, and make me feel AWESOME if they do well! ;-)
-I know its now Thursdays thoughts on Friday...but I don't care! :-)
-Kellie :-)

30 By 30
I just read a post by Casey at The Aslan's Auspicious Albany Adventure and I want to steal it! This blog is mine, and I love that I can read other blogs, learn something, love something, steal something (borrow?) and I loved her post 26 by 26! Its a bucket list of things to do!
Since my 26th birthday is just around the corner and I have been thinking about getting kind of old lately I wanted to start with these legit goals and I am going to do 30 by the time I am 30! (I have four years, and 6 weeks for these!)
1. Apply to Grad School, one of the TOP Schools. Not just because- I took my GMAT, and my GRE and now I just need to APPLY, its the hardest Step
2. Get a graduate Degree in something. (I know 1 is apply, but lets take some baby steps here!)
3. Move up in my career. Get a promotion, and don't be afraid to leave my company if I cannot move up in the next few years!
4. Go on a cruise with my family. This is something we talked about doing for years, and now need to do for my Dad. He wanted to go so badly, and I am very sad we never were able too. Hopefully in the next few years my mom and siblings and I can find the time to go together. Sometimes you have to make time for family because you never know when that time will end.
5. Become a Girl Scout Leader
6. Run or Walk an event for the American Heart Association
7. Learn to eat healthy and take care of myself.
8. Spend time talking with a friend I don't speak with enough EVERY DAY.
9. Travel, Travel Everywhere, Travel Anywhere
10. Spend time in Las Vegas, even if its just a few nights
11. Go to Harry Potter World! (the dork is here! <3)
12. Go on an spontaneous Adventure somewhere FAR away. Buy a groupon for Ireland, Book a last minute trip to the beach.
13. Visit a winery in 10 more states! (I am at 5? I want to do all fifty!)
14. Buy a House
15. Save $40K in my 401K
16. Adopt another puppy, even if I dont have permission to bring home another pet! ;-)
17. Move closer to my family, or convince them all to move to me. Be able to enjoy the little things with family.
18. Let my grandmother teach me to crochet, finally.
19. Make something from every pinterest board I created.
20. Spend a weekend at the beach in the winter and walk on the beach with Joe.
21. Pay Off my Car Loan, Credit Card Debt.
22. Get a graduate assistant ship for grad school
23. Get Married, Have Babie(s)
24. Visit Atlanta, Savannah, and Tennessee
25. Go on a girls only vacation.
26. Allow myself to fail, make mistakes, and learn from them.
27. Apply for reach jobs. Even if I don't get them.
28. See the ball drop in NYC. Just once.
29. Cultivate a relationship with my aunts, uncles, and cousins.
30. Read 100 books in one year.
