September Birchbox

Birchbox for September arrived!!

So this month had tons of goodies in it!

* Twist-band hair ties... Let me say this was my favorite thing in the box this month. LOVE these things!!

* Fragrance sample: Kate Spade New York twirl. It smells great!

* Dr. Jart +  BB Cream. Have not tried this yet but really looking forward to it. I Love BB cream and really wanting to see if the more pricey kind compares or is better than drug store brands.

*  Band- AID Brand by Cynthia Rowley Bundle. These were super cute! Nice little surpirse. But lets face it... I would not spend $11 on a box of Band-Aids no matter how cute they are. Nice to try out though for free. :)

* Color Club Nail polish Color: Status Update- Now, I have had a color club nail polish before in one of my boxes and HATED it. Went on horribly and just was not as pretty as I was hoping. HOWEVER, this one was AMAZING! It was a darker color. Went on great and lasted pretty long. Was very pleased with it.

* Benefit foamingly clean face wash and face polish. Have not tried these out but I love Benefit products and looking forward to trying it.


All in all a great box this month! Was really impressed. I love getting these little boxes and all that comes in them every month. Very worth the investment. If you do not get it go check it out. www.birchbox.com

Labor Day Weekend Trip

I am late in posting about this but wanted to document my trip.

On Labor Day Weekend I got to take a little trip down to the Gulf to our beautiful beaches in Alabama. It was a relaxing trip of just really riding around, eating and of course some putt putt golf. It was all in all a great trip! Just way to short for my liking. :)

We stayed in a little town called Fairhope, AL.

It was so pretty. A little old town with tons of shops. Our hotel was downtown so we could pretty much walk to everything. It was so relaxing and sweet.


We spent Sunday in Gulf Shores, AL. I love this town. I have spent most of my summer vacations in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area. There is just nothing like it. I think one of the best kept secrets in Alabama. Which is getting less and less a secret cause it getting crowded. :/ We ate at some of my favorite restaurants down there. Shrimp Basket and then for dinner we had Gulf Shores Steamer....






 It was amazingly good! Nothing like fresh gulf seafood. YUM!



We also took part in some of Gulf Shores famous Putt Putt Golf courses. There was tons of fun to be had.... It was very humid and hot and we went after the sun went down a good bit. However, it was still a very enjoyable time and lots of laughs.










Needless to say we had a great trip! Lots of fun and laughs were had all around! Love little getaways!
