Linking up with Tara for The Nail Files.

 

This week I went with a more neutral color...not such a bright pink.

I picked CND Shellac in Rosebud.

I didn't have luck with the Gel OPI colors. They kept chipping, so I went back to the CND and we'll see how that goes.

It is very different than my normal bright colors I choose, but I like it.

 It's a perfect vacation in New York color!

Head over to either Tara's blog or Katie's blog to link up with them for Birchbox Brag.

This is my very first box I ordered. A few of my friends get it and so I wanted to see what it was all about.

If you are not familiar with Birchbox and don't know what it is...basically for $10 a month they send you some trial sizes of various beauty products.

All the links will take you directly to that product on their website.

Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint

theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac

Scalisi Skincare Anti-Aging Moisturizer

BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley Bundle

BORGHESE Botanico Eye Compresses

I also got a sample for the new Birchbox Man.

John Varvatos Star U.S.A. 3.4 oz

We'll see how the hubs likes it.

So that's my box for June. I haven't had a chance to use all the products yet, so we will see, but I think I did well for my first box.

Can't wait to link up!

I saw Snow White and the Huntsman a couple weeks ago. I went to the premiere before it opened to the public. I loved it.

I'm planning on seeing Rock of Ages tonight with Falen.

True Blood started last Sunday night. Seriously love that show. So excited to see Christopher Meloni a/k/a Elliott Stabler on the show this season.

The Bachelorette is getting so good. "This week she told a guy to "Get the F**k out."

I was nervous that she was going to be too nicey, nicey, but she is a sassy little thing.

My new nail color this week is OPI Pink Flamenco.

It's the perfect Summer pink.

Loving this song right now: Katy Perry - "Wide Awake"

Our cousins just opened up their new restaurant in downtown Robbinsdale. They officially opened Monday morning. It's called Birdtown Cafe. Hubs has been twice this week already. I can't wait to go and try the Eggs Benedict. It's my fave and he said it was so good! This is where my MIL works as well. She is officially back to work after 1+ year of being laid off. Yay!!

With her being back to work, means that we are in flux with someone to watch Hailey. This week we used my Mom everyday, but she lives about 20 minutes from us. It's not horrible, but some days with the traffic back and forth. I think we might be looking into getting a Nanny. We'll see. 

I can't believe we go to New York next week! I haven't started packing, but I have made a list. Go figure...me with a list. We are so excited for our family trip!

I just got my first Birchbox yesterday in the mail. I haven't had a chance to use anything out of it yet, but will be blogging about that on Monday!

Lately I have been obsessed with these:

How was your week?

Have a great weekend!

I just got my nails done yesterday. I went with OPI's new gel polish in Miami Beet.

I usually don't go this dark, but I actually really love it.

It's obviously the color of a beet...purple-ish. I wanted something in the purple family for the benefit on Sunday.The benefit is for a friend's Dad and he is battling pancreatic cancer. Purple is the color for pancreatic cancer. Just trying to be festive.

I'm linking up with Tara over at Fabulous But Evil.
