Birchbox? Oh, yeah!

April Birchbox

(The goodies)

Almost one year ago I saw my friend posting pictures of this little thing called the "Birchbox".  I was all like, "Dude, what is that sweet, sweet box?".  My friend was all like, "WHAT??!?!?!, you DON'T know what the "Birchbox" is?".  Yeah, I felt like a total loser.  So, she explained to me the low down behind this cute little cardboard box.  The "Birchbox" is a cute monthly subscription where for only ten dollars you receive a monthly delivery.  Who doesn't love deliveries?  You're right, no one!  So, yes, ten dollars a month gets you an adorable box filled with high-end beauty products and lifestyle samples.  Oh, and guess what, these products are personalized to YOU!  Yes!  When you sign up you answer a questionnaire in order for the lovely "Birchbox" team to select products best fitted for you.  Okay, relax, it is only sample sizes.  However, it is perfect for the individual who is looking to try different things without having to commit to a regular size and the regular purchase price (uh-mazing, right?).  It probably took five minutes after that conversation with my friend for me to wander to the "Birchbox" site.  I was uber excited!  I love getting mail.  So, a personalized box filled with goodies every month was just what I was looking for.  When I realized I was placed on the waiting list, well, let's just say the Ziggles heard his momma say some pretty inappropriate things.  Patience, I am working on it.  When I FINALLY received that e-mail saying my first "Birchbox" would be sent out I almost, almost, jumped for joy.  My husband does not seem to understand the amazingness this box has to offer.  Husband, whatever.  He also doesn't understand the need for multiple bags, or shoes, or earrings.

So, if you haven't already joined the "Birchbox" frenzy, DO IT!  Do-it-now.  Let me share the goodies I received for the month of April.  This month, I must admit, was a bit of a bummer.  Personally, I prefer receiving perfume samples or lipstick or bandaids, but THAT nail polish, too cute for words.  I opened the box to the following:  Nexxus Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir (it combats 8 signs of aging hair, apparently), Malin+Goetz moisturizer (I've tried this one before, not my fave), Supergoop Advnanced Anti-aging Eye Cream (with SPF 37, I may love this), Ruby Wing color changing nail polish (this is SUPPOSED to change from hot pink to purple with a little bit of sunshine, it is currently storming, I can't test it out) and lastly, Hail Merry  chocolate macaroons (gluten-free, vegan and made with coconut oil, I am yet to devour it).

There are some boxes I love more than others.  However, the fun of receiving a little gift once a month, well, nothing beats that!

Happy Saturday, loves!
