Hello 2014

Today was rude awakening to what I will be facing in Spring 2014 semester. EdTPA, CST, Student Teaching, and a whole lot more. So I'm not gonna talk about the scary stuff. Don't worry about it, you'll still hear all about it in the coming months.

Anywho, today also brought something very exciting! I got my first Birchbox! From the Birchbox website: "Birchbox is the leading discovery commerce platform. We are redefining the retail process by offering consumers a unique and personalized way to discover, learn about, and shop the best beauty, grooming, and lifestyle products on the market."
Basically you subscribe for $10/month to get a box of beauty/skincare/haircare samples and products for you to try out and discover new favorites! I have a subscription to both Birchbox and Ipsy. I haven't yet received my Ipsy box, but when I do I will be sure to show it off!

I'm really excited to start using these products, and also how cute are these little messages? They're perforated so that you can separate them and post them around for healthy positive self-lovin messages. I love them. On the back of each they also give you life advice like statements about confidence, how to achieve happiness, or tips on trying something new! Suffice it to say I am definitely sold. Birchbox got my heart with the very first box. :)
