Glossy Box unboxing~April box


I have to admit, this is the coolest "box" that I've received so far from Glossy Box. The art work and the cosmetic bag comes from ThuFri.com, a high end fashion hand bag website out of L.A. The make-up bag also came with a gift card to the ThuFri.com website with a discount code to apply during checkout. FYI: my code is for 50% off.
Considering the price of the hand bags and totes, I'd estimate this cosmetic bag to be about $20.00 or more. Also this month's Glossy box reminds me so much of an Ipsy bag. There's many products that I'm not so thrilled about, and I hope they don't continue this way.

Here's what I got:
Marrackesh split end mender~ Full size $5.99 for 1 oz.~Not a super, fantastic product or high end. Highly fragranced. Too much for my liking.

Aerin "Waterlily Sun" fragrance~O.k., so I don't like most perfumes. This one is a light clean fragrance-one I would not wear, but I've decided to spray it in my lingerie drawers. The size is a mere .3 oz. The full size product is 1.7 oz. at a whopping $110.00.

Estee Lauder Enlighten dark spot correcting night serum~ Finally, a skin care product! This little sample size is probably not enough product for me to really see a difference in my skin, but I'm trying it. Nice consistency, no over-powering fragrance, or harshness. Full size: $62.00

Obsessive Compulisve Cosmetics Stained Gloss: Don't like the color; this will probably end up in a giveaway. I got the full size- $18.00

And last, but certainly not least, the Julep gel eye glider pencil in bronze shimmer. I already have a number of these gel eye liners. They're great. And water-proof. Once applied, they won't budge. Retail price: $16.00
Overall, you do get a lot for the money ($21.00 monthly), but like I said, I'm not crazy about all the products this month. Hopefully I'll get more skin and body products next month. You know, they do have a customer profile and questionare. Hopefully they'll follow it. (One of the reasons why I quit getting Ipsy bags.)

Post July 4th workout and update

I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .

January 2015 Nature Box subscription picks

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes

Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life edited by Bryan Curtis

What a great book of inspirational quotes by many famous people. This is a compilation of pages and pages of wisdom from authors, presidents, sports figures, entrepreneurs, cultural leaders, and the like. I really enjoyed reading this book. The quotes are not just inspirational to professional people in the business world, but also, they grasp the sense of good values, and positive traits that all persons should strive for in their lives. Some of the quotes make you think and ponder over them. The book is presented in a non-descriptive cover, subtle, yet attractive. It is an easy read, not overly stuffed with nonsense, or too much content. You could read a page a day for inspiration, or daily meditation. It is not a biblical book at all, in my opinion, just great reading. I would definitely recommend this book to all who wish to aspire to a greater level of success, whether it is in a business situation, or not. This would make a great gift book as well. Maybe a coffee table book even.
