Birchbox for June~Still hanging on

Just when I was about to cancel my subscription,
I got a box that I liked!
What I've tested so far:

Comptoir Sud Pacifique (fragrance): Even though I don't usually wear fragrance, I do like this one. It's a heavy, long lasting vanilla.

Dr.Jart+ ceramidin cream: This cream has a nice moisture coverage to it and a light, clean, fresh scent. Probably not a big enough sample size to determine any real benefits the cream claims, but I'm enjoying using it.

Marcelle waterproof eyeliner: Lots of talk about this brand this month. I received a mini sized pencil is a dark plum color, which I will wear. It is NOT smudge proof, and I can't agree with the "waterproof" claims.

Vasanti brighten-up enzymatic face rejuvenator: This is a micro-bead cleanser that has a "fizzy-like" enzymatic effect when you add water to rinse it off. It leaves the skin clean and refreshed. Nice smooth application, easy on the skin.

Sarahpotempa hair clip: Not crazy about the design or pattern of this clip; I could have lived without it.

I have not tried the Coola sunscreen, but overall this was a good box. Birchbox has redeemed itself for yet another month!

Post July 4th workout and update

Image
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 .

Picture of the Week

Image
Does this help at all? I didn't think last week's picture was that difficult to figure out, but that's probably because I'm so used to seeing these. HIDDEN MICKEYS What are hidden mickeys? http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/WhatIs.html You can check out this site if you have the desire. Some of you know how much we are Disney freaks. Yes, we are here in Florida, and tend to go many times through the year. Everywhere, all over Disney World there are faces or profiles of Mickey Mouse hidden. They can be found in the attractions, wall paintings, architecure, the ground, just everywhere! So we got obscessed about finding them. Ie: scavenger hunt. So we bought this book. And took it on own next trip to see how many we could find. I think I'm a master now, we have found some that were not even in the book. Here's one of my favorites; it's really more of a "decorative" Mickey than a hidden one. Still, one of my favs. This is a drain grate in a pond th...
