PopSugar Must Have Mini Box (AKA Tim let me open one of my presents early)

So Tim let me open one of my presents early! I was so excited to get the mini Pop Sugar box. Last year for our first Christmas together Tim got me a three month subscription and they always sent the best items in these boxes. I was ready to see what they would put in the mini version!

When I opened it up I saw two items inside and was immediately intrigued.

The first item is from Yellow Owl Workshop and is a festive stamp kit. I don't think I own a single stamp so I thought this was a cute idea. I can now use them when I scrapbook and also when I write cards for birthdays and other holidays- super cute! I need to get a bigger desk to hold all my crafting supplies :)

The second item is a gorgeous nail polish by Smith and Cult. It looked slightly purple but when I read the card that claimed it was rose gold and opened the bottle I could definitely see it. It's a gorgeous rose gold color and I can't wait to paint my nails with it. I am definitely using this for Christmas :)

February 2016 Birchbox and Pop Sugar Must Have Box

You know I love a good mail day! I absolutely adore coming home to see a box has arrived for me and seeing my Birchbox and my Pop Sugar Must Have Box were no exception!

February's Birchbox was filled with five goodies this month.

I haven't been painting my nails quite as much as I used to lately but I definitely need to get back into that habit! This dark red from Color Club is a perfect late-winter color. It's dark enough to fit with winter but the red is a nice color for Valentines Day. The color is called That's My Jam which is extremely fitting.

This Naobay hydraplus cream is meant for super dry skin, which of course I have. I will definitely be trying this since my skin is getting to that point where I will try anything to keep it from drying out and flaking!

I love a good hair mask and am super excited to try this Argan Hair Mask. My hair is always super dry so it can always use a good refresh!

I'm not a huge fan of face masks because I never know quite how my skin will react to them but I'm willing to try Hey Honey Take It Off because I do know that honey can do a lot of great things for your skin. I will definitely give it a try soon.

This lipstick by Pop Beauty is a gorgeous color. I'm not sure how much I will actually wear it because I generally stick to my cake batter chapstick but I will give it a try one of these days.

Next up, my Pop Sugar Must Have Box! (Which Tim opened before I got home...)

First up this gorgeous scarf from Tilo. It is so silky and soft and absolutely adorable. I wore it on Valentines Day and it was perfect. I love a good neutral scarf to spice up any outfit!

Nothing could make me happier then a gift card! This $20 rewards card worked just like a gift card at Victoria's Secret. Sweet!

Victoria's Secret workout socks. Every girl needs some socks!

Victoria's Secret seemed to be a theme this month. Their hydrating body lotion looks great and although I should buy stock in lotion because I have so much, I never say no to being gifted more!

This Beauty Counter Cleansing Balm looks like a beauty regimen I might actually be able to follow! You simply put it all over your face and then rinse it off, no scrubbing required.

This midi ring is adorable! I''m not a huge ring-wearer but I actually think I'll be giving this one a try because it's so cute!

Cookies?! Yes, a sugar cookie mix, along with a heart shaped cookie cutter, and sprinkles was included in this bag. It will be fun to make these one day!

Last but certainly not least, this catch-all tray that says "hello beautiful". I love this tray! It fits perfect with my decor and I am obsessed with it!

What have you gotten in your subscription boxes this month?

Birchbox and Pop Sugar Must Have Box 2016

Happy Saturday!

Well it is blizzarding outside today people! I am not a huge fan of snow. At all. However today I am enjoying the fact that I don't have any reason to actually leave the house and can stay warm and toasty indoors.

It's been awhile since I shared my Birchbox with you guys and I thought you may be interested in what I received for January. In addition I will also be sharing what I received in my Pop Sugar Must Have Box which was a gift from Tim for Christmas. I am currently on my product no buy and have not purchased a single product (other then shaving cream and shampoo- which were necessities) yet this month. My goal is to use what I already have and not purchase more. The only new products coming in are from my boxes, gifts, and free samples so I get super excited when anything new comes into the house!

First up: Birchbox

This Forteo Day Cleanser looks interesting. The price tag on the full size ($30) makes me glad I have the opportunity to try the small version. My skin is super dry so I'm hoping that this product will get my skin clean without drying it out.

This TonyMoly lip stain is blood red- it is so bright! I'm not sure that it's something I would wear but I'm definitely willing to give it a try.

I love liquid eyeliners because they are so easy to use. This fat liquid liner is something you need to be careful with though, you don't want to end up with a black eye! I will be using this when I want a more defined eye look and I'm excited to try it out.

This shampoo and conditioner combo from Beautiful Nutrition is a grapefruit scented pair. I like that they are sulfate-free so hopefully they will work well for my hair!

Next up, Pop Sugar Must Have Box:

I'm in love with this Pebble Speck Bin from Pehr Designs! This is retailed at $40 which is awesome. I love that it holds so much, currently I have all the pictures and items I still need to scan in there and it's worked great to hold them and still look nice in my room.

Marie Kondo's second book Spark Joy was also in this box and so far I am loving it! I am a huge fan of The Life Changing Magic of Tiding Up and Spark Joy is no different. This is totally my jam- I am all about the cleaning and organizing! A $18.99 value totally made my day!

Guess what I've already eaten up? All the gum. Whoops! This Project 7 Snow Cone gum was delicious I really enjoyed it! I shared a few pieces but most of them were consumed by me and I loved every second of them! I would definitely purchase this gum if I saw it in a store. This gum retails for $1.99.

I was excited to see this Not Soap, Radio Bath and Shower Gel Gift Set inside my box! Each of these little shower gels has a different scent and is for a different purpose. This set was really cute and retails for $22. I love shower gel and was excited to get some new ones since I'm not allowed to purchase any new ones!

This would be my perfect planner if I wasn't already in love with my Erin Condren life planner! This planner is by Blue Sky and retails at $15.99. I absolutely love the teal color and how inside there is a section each day for a to-do list. Gorgeous!

I haven't broken into this Chapstick total hydration chapstick but I will definitely be testing it out. I do love my chapstick. This product was considered the "special extra" and retails at $2.99.

These Patchology flashmasque trio has different face masks. I love that these masks are no mess because you just lay them on your skin and then toss them out when you have finished with them. Very easy to use! This pack retails for $20.

There was also a promo code from the same place the bin came from, Pher Designs, for 25% off which is a great extra in case I was looking to purchase anything for my home.
