At-home Spa

So it's the holidays which means its crazy busy (and rude) at work nowadays. This means that it's time for some serious relaxing on my day off. Today I feel that this means that I should take a lovely bubble bath and try out some of the new products I got this month. So I grabbed some vanilla rose scented bubble bath  and filled up my tub. Apparently gel bubble bath doesn't work as well as the purely liquid kind, I felt I had to use a lot more than I thought I would. But it smelled pretty good so I was fairly happy with it.

 Our bathtub is tiny but at least it was nice and warm. I listened to Sara Bareilles and used a face mask from Masqueology I got from Sephora.It felt a little weird on but overall I liked it. Hopefully it actually is good for my face. They're pretty expensive so I don't think I'll get more unless they work crazy well but they were fun to try.

 Another cool thing I got this month was in my Popsugar Must Haves box this month. It was a moisturizing bar soap from Marianella made with oatmeal and milk. The scent I got was Aura Elena and I couldn't stop sniffing it. Some people on the internet thought the scent was too strong but I was a big fan. I don't think it made my skin ridiculously soft or anything but for a bar soap it was pretty good. 

The last part of my spa adventure was doing up my nails for the new week. I've been obsessively checking the store for the new magnetic Essie Nail polish and I finally found it wednesday so I had to use it. I'm really bad at Magnetic nail polish so I usually don't like to get it but the snakeskin pattern is just so cool that I had to have it. So far the lines aren't as clear as I like so I guess I just need to keep trying. 

Anyway it has been a most relaxing day (plus I made hamburgers which is always amazing) and I stayed out of the finally cold december air. Coming up soon I'll probably make a post about some of the subscription boxes I am a member of and maybe a set on some of the games my friends and I play regularly.

Blaahg intro

So this is a blog I'm starting because basically I buy too much weird stuff so I feel like the Internet should know about it. That doesn't really sound like a good reason but I'm doing it anyway. What you can expect on here is a lot of pictures. I recently started in on the life box subscription phase because I have a million articles of makeup that I never fully use and also I never really know what to try. This also lets me learn about the newest stuff. That people are raving about that I wouldn't have gone out of my way to try. I subscribe to birchbox (birchbox.com), ipsy (ipsy.com), and popsugar's must haves (musthave.popsugar.com) at this time. I haven't gotten my first popsugar box yet so I'm excited to review the first one I get in December. I also plan to talk about a lot of Board games since my friends and I tend to play a lot of obscure and strange ones. If you're a fan of Wil Wheaton's YouTube show Tabletop then you know what I mean. As it the holidays I may throw in the decorations that I get from work since I work in retail. It's always difficult to see cute things everyday at work and not end up taking some home. In any case this'll probably end up a mix bag of my thoughts so welcome.
