first birchbox delivery

i signed up for birchbox about a week ago after reading several reviews and vlogs from women about their monthly sample goodies. it's a $10 a month subscription in which you get a few samples of beauty products... lotions, make up, perfumes, bath items, etc.

so, my first birchbox finally arrived today in this cute bright pink box...

what's your color personality?

during my usual morning routine of checking emails and skimming through google reader, i came across Centsational Girl's blog post about color personality. so, naturally, i had to take the test!

down with the garden

our new home came with its very own garden... a garden that has not been used in what seems like years. it's unkempt, rundown, and an eyesore. furthermore, i don't have a green thumb, so i wanted it gone! instead, we're putting up a shed in the corner.
