Just in case you were wondering...

I know I've talked a lot about the Popsugar Ultimate Reading Challenge and I've linked to it in the past, but I just wanted to get a quick post up with the list and what I have planned to read for the rest of the challenge. I came to the challenge in July and was worried about getting everything squeezed in, so I am using 1 book for multiple boxes to check off. I've been doing pretty well with the challenge. I know that I'm cheating and yes that does hurt me a little, but if they do another one next year I will definitely be doing this challenge again the correct way!

Books I still have left to read:

  • Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth
  • Maus, 1 by Art Spiegelman
  • White House Nannies by Barbara Klein
  • The Girl who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
  • The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest Stieg Larsson
  • Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
  • Landline by Rainbow Rowell
  • Me Before You by Jojo Meyers
  • The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
  • Life as I Blow It by Sarah Colonna
  • The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
A couple of these books only hit one box on the list, but some hit a few. I'm also re-reading The Hunger Games Trilogy in full because the final movie is coming out and I'm keeping in tradition when I started to re-read before the first movie. Right now I'm going to take a break from the challenge because I'm going to be reading The Heir by Kiera Cass which is the 4th book within The Selection series. I'll have a full review up about the series when I finish. I love that series and I can't keep it on my "to read" shelf any longer! That's all for now!


P.S. I'll let you know if the book checks anything off on the list at the beginning of a post, like I did with my last post about Looking for Alaska by John Green.

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...

Soak It Up! ~August 2015 Birchbox!~

Ahh August is almost over! This is my least favorite month, because it always feels 10x longer and its wayyyyy too hot! I'm a little late with my post because I worked the Pokemon World Championships and unable to try products immediately, so here we go! BTW I loved the design of the box this month, so cute with the little 3D pool! I've now stored hair-ties, clips, and headbands in it and put it on display in my bathroom cabinet. Air Repair Complexion Boosting Moisturizer- Full Size $20 Packed with antioxidants and humectants, this rich cream hydrates and revitalizes dry or dull skin. I tried this for the first time on Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised. I really didn't want another moisturizer to add to my overgrown collection, but this turned out well. When I read the description I thought it might be a cheaper (but still expensive) option to the Ren Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, which I love, but I didn't find it to be. The scent is strong, but you can...
