I'm sorry I have been away, but I have been stressed beyond belief!!! I am happy to announce that I have accepted a new job. I will be working for a Specialist in his office with full time mon-fri hours. FINALLY!! I will be done with shift work and I can have a normal life again. I am hoping this is a good move for me. I am nervous beyond anything... My stomach is churning, my heart is racing. I have a checklist that I have been going through. I hate starting new things, I am always a wreck and I just feel SICK!!! However, I am excited at the same time. I have been searching and shopping galore. This office is pretty fancy, so I want to make sure that my outfits are tres tres business-y!!!
With that said, most of my stress has been with finding my puppy a dog walker. Puppy is my baby, my love... so I interviewed with an amazing dog walking lady, and had a great feeling about her (Remy also loved her, I think he was showing off while she was there..lol). I'm happy that puppy will have a friend to take him out for a walk while BF and I are at work. Her prices are very reasonable too which is awesome!!! She charges $10 for a half hour walk, and will also leave me little notes each day to tell me how puppy was.. I hope everything goes ok. I've never had a dog walker before!
I'm also really happy that I have fantastic neighbours who will also keep me informed how puppy is when she is over. My street is fantastic with keeping an eye on each others houses.... I love my street!!!
Anyhow.. moving on.. LOL..
A girlfriend of mine, Ashley has been getting monthly subscriptions from a company called Glymm. Its very much like Birch Box, or like Lux Box that I posted about... I think it was actually my first post?? It's the idea that every month you get sample sized products to try from high end cosmetic companies.
I have to admit that I opened the box and didn't really know any of these brands except for one. However... I am always up for trying new things, so I'm really excited to give these products a go, and see if I love 'em... or hate 'em!!
Take a peek...
The box is super cute... Such a pretty pink color!!!
I love how it was packaged when I opened it!!!
This is the only brand that I knew... Oscar de la Renta purfume.. Hopefully it's not too strong!
This body wash and moisturizer smell like the tropics...lol.. Sometimes vanilla stuff makes me gag.. but this stuff isn't too strong, so we will see if I get sick of it quick or if it's bare-a-ble!!!
This blush is a gorgeous color. I tried it on the day that I got it. It's not as red as in the pic when it's on my cheeks, but you have to build the color, because I notice if there is too much on my brush... I enter "Clown Town"
My FAV part of this box, is the sweets that came with it. How cute is this little packaging!!! It was filled with yummy jelly beans.. I'm pretty sure those were gone within minutes!!! LOL
Lastly... I got this croc make up bag. I LOVE it!!! My old green one that I have is ripping and gross inside. This little bag came at the perfect time!!!
What do you think of the goodies that I got? Like Luxe Box, it's a monthly subscription of $10 per month. I might try it again next month. I do have to admit that I enjoy getting suprised, and at least if I hate the product... It's only sample sized so I don't have to feel guilty about tossing it!! :) If you're interested in joining Glymm, visit their website at http://www.glymm.com/
Have a great night and wish me good luck with my first day at my new job tomorrow!! I'm so nervous!!!
