Friday night after work was boring per usual. We got dinner from Sweet Taste of Italy (so good) and we spent the rest of the night watching tv and on the computer. We basically just hung out all night.

Saturday I got up and went to my usual Zumba class.

I met a few of my friends for a quick birthday lunch at the Yardhouse. It was my first time going and it was AMAZING! If you haven't been there yet, GO! Immediately. It's the new restaurant in the West End in SLP.

Later that evening we went to a surprise birthday party for a family friend. She WAS surprised and it was a super fun night with family.

Sunday I got to actually sleep in thanks to Green Gramma. We then did some spring cleaning around the house, even though it was cold outside. I got some more of my office put together. And then we went out to dinner at Teresa's with my family for my birthday! So good!

That's about it. Fun, but short. How was your weekend?

Beauty Box 5 {January 2014}

Beauty Box 5 {January 2014}

The Details: Beauty Box 5 is $12 a month ($10/month if you do it in 3 month increments) (which is what I did) and the thing I like about it, is that you are always guaranteed 5 products. No matter what.

Brand: H20 Plus
Product: Spa Sea Lotus Body Wash
Retail: $17.00

This was a travel size. I loved the smell of this body wash so much. It worked really well, too. I could see myself actually buying a full size version.

Brand: Nubar
Product: Cuticle & Nail Oil
Retail: $10.00

This was a full size bottle (although small), it will last a long time. It also works really well, too.

Brand: Swissco
Product: Bath & Shower Exfoliating Gloves
Retail: $5.00

This was my favorite product from the box. I only use them about once or twice a week because I feel like that is all I need, but I definitely love these.

Brand: Jergens
Product: Daily Moisturizer
Retail: $6.99

I loved that I got a little lotion. Who cannot use another travel sized lotion. I keep it in my purse and it's perfect.

Brand: Epic Blend
Product: Hemp Coconut Lip Balm
Retail: $3.39

The was another favorite product. It smells so good and glides on so well. I just love this and still use it.

Bonus Product: That Awkward Moment - Mirror Compact


I actually keep this little compact mirror in my drawer at work. It's nice to have close by if I need to check my teeth to make sure nothing is in them.

I got 3 full size products (cuticle oil, gloves & the lip balm), and two trial size products (body wash & lotion). I have used them all and will continue to use what I can. I am still loving BB5!

Happy Friday all. Well, what a week it has been. Here are 5 things from my week.

Our laundry room flooded yesterday. Gramma called me in a panic. Wayne called the owner (we rent) and he said that had happened to them a couple times when they lived there. A plumber comes out, snakes it, and then it is good to go. No biggie, but nerve-racking and irritating all at the same. Just threw my Thursday and today for a loop as the plumber couldn't get there until this morning between 9-11. No showering and minimal water use for us. So not cool.

I got these back from Hailey's school.So expensive, but how can I say no? I can't. Plain and simple.

If you haven't entered my birthday giveaway, I encourage you to do so. I had a great birthday on Wednesday.  We went to dinner at Crave. It was wonderful as always. I always get the same thing...a Crunchy Roll and salmon salad. We also got the Smore Brownie dessert. OMG! So good! I have a friend lunch on Saturday and then my family dinner on Sunday.

I am so loving the warmer weather we are having up here in Minnesota. I love not wearing my boots anymore and sometimes not even a jacket! Woohoo!! Now let's keep it this way Mother Nature!

As of today I have 9 days left of my "No Shopping" lent comittment. I am happy to report I have not bought ANYTHING!! Go me! Obviously, I still have 9 days to go with a wedding and a baby shower thrown in there, but I am determined to find something already in my closet to wear. Let's hope!


How was your week? Anything fun planned for the weekend?
