November Birchbox

I was so excited when I finally got my first Birchbox in the mail. I'd been considering subscribing for a while because I love the idea of receiving goodies in the mail every month and it comes so beautifully wrapped (it's like Christmas every month). And for just $10 a month I figured it was so worth it. If you're not familiar with Birchbox (which I'm sure all of you are by now) you can check out their website Here.

I went ahead and took some pictures of what I received this month. Personally, I think the night cream alone was worth the $10, seeing as how the price for a full size bottle is $112. And... I guess I should confess, I actually ripped open the chocolate bar as soon as I finished taking these pictures and devoured it before I'd even turned off my camera. *blushes* I will definitely be stocking up on these bad boys. It's dark chocolate with chipotle, salt and popping candy. With a name like Firecracker, how can you go wrong?..

How To Get Kissably Soft Lips

No one wants to kiss the girl with the alligator lips! So here are some tips to keep your pout ready for action:

1. Drink plenty of water. This is the most obvious, but most people are just not drinking enough water these days. And the biggest cause of dry, chapped lips is dehydration.

2. Exfoliate. There are tons of ways to exfoliate your lips. Try using lip scrubs such as Philosophy Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Cream or a toothbrush to gently rub off dead skin.

3. Moisturize. Using lip balm and treatments such as Josie Maran Argan Lip Treatment will keep your lips soft and hydrated. Remember to also apply just before bed to keep them from drying out in your sleep.

4. Protect. Make sure to use a lip balm with SPF when spending time outdoors. The sun can wreak havoc on your lips even when it's not visible.

5. Stop licking your lips. Although it may provide temporary relief, licking your lips actually steals the moisture away causing your lips to become dry and chapped.

With proper care your lips will look good enough to kiss.

Enjoy! xoxo

It's beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart.

I love all things girly and am currently feeling very inspired to share that love with the world... or at least anyone willing to read my blog. I'm a certified makeup artist and graduated from cosmetology school, but I'm currently working as a Legal Office Assistant (I'm really loving the business casual attire by the way). If you have any questions please feel free to send me messages or leave comments. I really look forward to interacting with people who share my same passions. :)


PS- I really love to ramble, so good luck! xoxo
