Finally a winner...Sort of

I finally finished my first book of 2013! Woooo yay snaps! Okay, now that's out of the way, let's talk about my accomplishment and who made it possible. The lucky winner was My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me: And Other Stories I Shouldn't Share With Acquaintances, Coworkers, Taxi Drivers, Assistants, Job Interviewers, Bikini Waxers, And Ex/Current Boyfriends but Have by Hilary Winston. Good golly that is a long ass title to type out.

So, I finished Hilary's book (there's no way I'm typing any of that out again) and it was okay. I'm not going to knock it too much because obviously she's got her crap together, because I'm sitting here writing a blog and she has a job where someone pays her to write. Hilary 1, Steph BIG 0. Anyways, it was just okay. She talked about her ex-boyfriend Kyle a lot. And "Kyle" if you ever read this you're a DICK! You deserve the inquisition, well no because you weren't that bad. Someone like Chris Brown deserves the rack not you Kyle.

My girl Hilary talks about her ex-boyfriend who wrote a book about her, where he refers to her as his "fat-assed girlfriend", like I said he's a dick. Pretty much the whole book is about Kyle and a few of her past relationships, but mostly focuses on Kyle. I will admit she had me laughing when she "broke" her vagina, and then had me crying when her diabetic cat Emmett was dying. I wish I could give more of a synopsis of this book, but really those 3 sentences are all I got.

I'm going to give this book 4 stars, just because she got me to cry and I don't cry at things other than sports (don't ask) and her broken vagina was amusing. And I found out that she writes for Happy Endings (best show on Earth, besides Pretty Little Liars!) and she was also a writer for My Name is Earl,which I watch religious at the gym. You entertained me Miss. Winston and that was the main purpose of this book.

I would also like to dedicate this post to her beloved cat Emmett Otter Winston, whom passed away in 2010. You are missed Emmett!

Putting Some Positive Force Into My Life with my October 2015 Birchbox!

Birchbox yay! Not too bad of a box this month I have to say. Usually I have a lot of gripes about them, but I think 5 out of the 6 items (yes 6! I got a bonus this month) were really nice finds and I've already incorporated them into my beauty routine. So enough blabbering let's get to it! Borghese Fango Purificante Clay Cleanser/Full-size $30 This gentle foaming formula deep cleans like a mask as it soothes skin. I've never used a clay cleanser before, masks weekly, cleanser nope. I've always wanted to try Borghese, so this is the perfect sample for me. It comes in at 1 fl oz, which is your typical cleanser sample size, and I've been using it everyday since I got it! Which is odd because I typically just throw the cleansers I get from BB in a box of stuff I use for the gym or travel, I mean I didn't even use the Acure cleanser yet, sorry Acure. I was surprised that this was very liquidy, and it has a slight perfumey scent. Nothing overwhelming though and...

Dr. Scholl's Actives for Her (Brought to you by Influenster)

Time for another Influenster review! This time its a one product review box, I've only done these for Influenster. I know some people get the themed Voxboxes with all the fun goodies, but I tend to only qualify for the one brand review ones. Its all good though, I still enjoy them and love trying free stuff! Even if I do end up giving it all away like I did my Mary Kay stuff (sans the Lash Primer). For this box I qualified to receive a free pair of Dr. Scholl's Active Series Inserts for Her. They retail for $19.99 at Target and $24.99 at Walgreens.  A little pricey for just one pair of insoles, but then again if you work out a lot or are just a sneaker fan in general, you may want to invest in a pair of quality insoles; not only for comfort, but also to extend the life of your sneaks (trainers, for those across the pond). The 'Her' insoles will be for shoe sizes 5.5-8 & 8.5-11, and the 'Him' insoles will fit 7.5-10 & 10.5-13. They are easy to be shap...

The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

I don't think it's any surprise that I love meself some YA! I think I was introduced to a blurb about The Selection series in Newsweek ...kidding it was an issue of Seventeen I was reading at the Dentist? Whatever it doesn't matter, all you need to know is that its awesome! A Dystopian America that's now a smaller fragile absolute monarchy and has a caste system??? Uh yes please! The series (originally a trilogy) is narrated by America Singer, a 5 (there are 8 castes) who lives in post WW3 (could be WW4 I honestly don't remember) Illea province named Carolina. As Artists, 5's are 3rd from the bottom in the caste system. I would equate them to the typical American family today, not well off, but they feel the struggle of staying afloat throughout the year. As per tradition with all the Princes of Illea a selection is held, where 35 girls throughout the kingdom compete for his hand in marriage. Kinda like The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games with less bloodshe...
