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

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 (possibly a full size product) of various beauty products.

This is my box this month:

All the links will take you directly to the products on the Birchbox website.

1.  Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur

I have gotten a sample in every box so far and I love trying these. I love Juicy Couture and have a full size bottle of a previous scent.

2.  Apothederm™ Stretch Mark Cream

I am super excited to try this out as I do have stretch marks from pregnancy.

3.  Schick Hydro Silk Razor

I wish I would have gotten this at the beginning of Summer, but I guess better late than never, right?

4. Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss

So excited to try this lip gloss. It's SUPER pink, but it goes on shear for more shimmer than color.

5. Beauty School Guide

This pamphlet contained some great tips about tools, reading product labels, shaving, make-up fixes, and skin-care.

6. SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Full Shimmer Illuminating Shampoo and SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Full Shimmer Illuminating Treatment

Super excited to try both of these products as I do color my hair sometimes and it never seems to stay.

Overall, I think my box was great this month and am happy with the 3 months that I have gotten so far.

7 Questions {08.08.2012}

Linking up with Gentri Lee's 7 Questions

1. The Olympics are awesome! What's your favorite Summer Olympic event to watch?

I love swimming, gymnastics and sand volleyball. I know they are probably the most popular, but I don't care.

2. If you could compete in an Olympic event (either season), which would it be?

And be good at it? Gymnastics. I would love to be able to flip and fly like some of those ladies! Plus, I would be in great shape.

3. Would you rather be tickled to death or poked (by finger) constantly for the rest of your life?

OMG! Such a hard question. Probably poked, because I hate being tickled.

4. Do you keep your nails long or short? Square or round?

My real nails...short. Right now I have fakes on and have had them since February. The fakes are square-ish.

5. Do you think you're funny?

Sometimes. Few and far between. My Hubs on the other hand is the funniest person ever!

6. When you have something you're looking forward to SO much, but it's still a ways off, what do you do to keep yourself distracted?

I try and look forward to something else in between the big stuff. Even if it's something small.

7. You've just won an Olympic Gold Medal! What are you going to do next?!?!

Go on vacation to somewhere tropical and exotic. Please. And. Thank You.
