After getting a coupon from my FabFitFun box, I went a ahead and purchased a set of hand weights and an eco friendly yoga mat. I am very happy with the hand weights. They are the perfect walking weight size (2.75 lb each), and they come in pretty awesome colors. The eco friendly yoga mat is a little slippery and it has some marks on it already just from my foot sliding on the mat.

Anyway, after not getting home till around 8:30 pm, I really needed to unwind. I opened this bottle of wine that I got as a house warming gift (4-5 years ago), and it was wonderful. I’m not a big drinker so I was unable to finish the whole bottle by myself. But I will be enjoying it later tonight as well.

I went into Aldo hoping to find a pair of shoes that were on sale for vegas. Nothing on sale fit right or looked that great. I decided to get to ask a sales rep for help, and god were they helpful! Bring up pair, after pair, after pair, as I decided what I wanted. She was so helpful, I now regret not taking a selfie with her to post here!

I purchased an Eyeko liquid metal eyeliner in black and a Manna liplocked priming gloss stain in coral crush. The Eyeko brand of eyeliner is one of the best brands I know for a liquid eyeliner for that perfect cat eye. The Manna lip gloss stain is Birchbox sample that I got in a much deeper color than the coral I purchased. I hated the color that I got in my Birchbox but other people seemed to really like it as a lip stain, so I thought I would try it in a color I know I’d like. It goes on really thick but so far the color has lasted.

I also purchase the limited edition lovely day box by Birchobx. It comes with a multitude of wonderful samples! A full size Cargo blush, a full size Claudalie vinoperfect radiance serum, a full size Davines anti aging hand cream, a full size Greenleaf bella freesia candle tin, several Harney and Sons teas, a Illume go be lovely rollerball perfume, a full size Jouer hydrating lipstick, a Living Proof perfect hair day night cap overnight perfecter sample, two full size Nails inc gel effect polish, and a Rituals foaming shower gel sample. So much wonderful stuff to try out!

Woot woot! I finally got my April Birchbox, which means its my favorite post of the month! I opted in to get some full sized products in my Birchbox this month for an extra $20, so exciting!

Here are the products that I got in my April Birchbox: Beaver Professional Hydro Nutritive Shampoo and Conditioner, Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain, Jouer Tint for lips and cheeks, Paula’s Choice Vitamin C Spot Treatment, a full size Lord & Berry Back in Black High Performance Mascara, a full size Smith & Cult Pillow Pie nail polish.

Outfit of the day. Jacket from Urban Outfitters by Timo Weiland for Champion. Jeans from Levis, and gray top from Aritzia by Wilfred.

This is my new adorable nightstand tray from Crate and Barrel. I’ve decorated it with some recycled Voluspa candle tins, and some accessories from Urban Outfitters.

Bring it on Monday!

These are the lovely presents I got for (late) easter from my boyfriends mom! She’s so sweet and incredibly adorable.

When my mom told me to check out Banana Republic, I was skeptical. However, when I finally went, I was pleasantly surprised by this jacket!

I got Cosmos salted caramel popcorn, Jules Smith scarf, Orly nail polish (2), Rifle Paper co Cities Coaster set, Merrithew 3 DVD set + $25 gift card, Palmetto Derma Collagen booster and restoration serum, OFRA cosmetics eyeshadow brush duo, Sprout it App Card + Miracle Grow seed pod, Vow to be Chic gift card, and a Hello Fresh gift card.
