So What Wednesday

It's So What! Wednesday over at Shannon's and I'm linking up.

So What! if...

• I still haven't gotten Buddy's Halloween costume. {He won't wear it for very long anyway.}
• I feel like Halloween should have been LAST week. 
• This is the slowest week ever!
• I have no idea what I'm getting anyone but my dad for Christmas.
• I would rather be working tonight than having to hear the doorbell ring every 2.5 seconds
• I would really LOVE to get one of my parents' iPhones. {My dad got he and my mom iPhone 5's for her birthday. That means there are 2 phones not in use and I'm needing a new one!}
• I am ready to be in the next chapter of my life. This whole "in transition" thing is starting to get old!

What are you saying So What! to this week?

 

October Birchbox Review

October Birchbox Review

October's Birchbox was my first box. I snooped and saw a video for what things might be in the box and then about a week to five days before I got my box I saw what was actually in the box. I will say for my first box I will/did use everything in it.

{please ignore the bedding!}

 The box

 

The inside

 

Luna Lemon Zest Bar

{$18.75/ Pack of 18 or roughly $1.95 for 1 depending on where you get them.}

 

Illume Red Cedar Candle

{$10, full size}

  

 Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Eye Cream

{$46, full size}

 Jouer Lip Enhancer

{$14, full size}

Supergoop City Sunscreen

{$20-42, full size}

I am really thinking about getting the Supergoop Sunscreen. These samples have 4 uses in them. It leaves my face moisturized and not greasy. It's also very light for a sunscreen.

I tried the Kiehl's eye cream once but I will try this until it runs out. If it does what it says I will be buying some!

I didn't really care for the Lip Enhancer but I will still use it. Doesn't hurt that it was "free".

The Luna Bar was good but if I decide to get a box I will be trying a different flavor. 

The Illume candle wasn't my favorite when I initially burned it but I will burn it more seeing as the weather has finally gotten cold here and I love burning candles. I also really like that you can get it with an initial on the jar.

I would definitely say this box was worth the $10 I paid and I also got free points for giving feedback on the items. Along with that and referring some friends I am well on my way to my first free box!

I am looking forward to next month's box and Jen over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom convinced me that the ipsy box was worth it so I'm signed up for that box too!

Friday's Letters

Dear Buddy, Please get out of your funk. I know yesterday scared the living crap out of you {it scared me too} but I don't have the cash to take you to the vet.

Dear Work, If I don't see at least 30 hours a week there are going to be some drastic changes and you're not going to like it. Also, this whole 3 days off in a row for next week is a no go. I need the money and I really don't care if you say I can't work.

Dear  Job Search, I need to get on your good side or at least start making a move to looking for a new job. Going out of state right now is just not going to happen yet and the job market here sucks!

Dear Birchbox, You are awesome! My first box was okay but I actually like all of the products that were in my box. I'm also getting lots of points and it's just my first month! You and I are going to be great friends.

Dear Ipsy, I am hoping you will be as awesome as I'm hearing about. I found you through this chick and to me she is the Box Subscription Queen so you better be stellar!
 

Friday's Letters

 

Dear House Sitting Gig, You are awesome and it's great to get away for a few days to relax and not think about the things that stress me out when I'm at my house.

Dear Friday, I thought you were here yesterday. All day it felt like a Friday and sadly it wasn't. That's okay though. That gives me and the boyfriend an extra day for homework.

Dear Work, I have 4 days in a row of you and I'm getting burnt out. Holiday will not be very exciting this year. {Except for the paychecks!}

Dear Jen @ Ramblings of a Suburban Mom, You guilted me convinced me to get on the Birchbox wagon. I am excited about receiving my first box! How do you get the affiliate links on your blog? I want free stuff too!

Dear Shannon @ Life After I "Dew", You are an awesome mom {you too Jen!}. KP is the cutest and baby Dew #2 will be just as cute! You are making this SAHM thing work and I admire you for it!

Dear So What! Wednesday, I am really missing you. I need to get back on a blogging schedule so I can have things to talk about and some link ups to do!
