Target Subscription Box: Beta Test Review

Since everyone and their mom has a subscription service nowadays, why not Target? Not that I mind that Target, or any company, has subscription boxes since I really enjoy them as a whole. This particular subscription box was more of a beta test to see the popularity and feedback from the subscribers. As far as I can tell, it's not a permanent subscription yet. The good news? It only costs $5, and that includes the shipping and handling.

Revlon Lip Butters Original Collection: Review & Swatches

These aren't new, they just have the original stickers on the tubes from when they were new. I figured I would continue my good streak of finally reviewing the originals of the limited edition shades I already have. These Revlon Lip Butters really need no introduction, but today I have Tutti Frutti and Candy Apple from the original collection to review today.

Essie Naughty Nautical: Review & Swatches

It seems the concept of a "Mani Monday" is rather large on the interweb, so here's one for you. From one of the many polishes among Essie's summer collection is Naughty Nautical from the collection with the same name. Probably the best thing about this collection is that all but one shade has pretty shimmers in it.

Skincare Sunday: DIY Avocado Seed Face Scrub

Since I've been on spree of watching a bunch of YouTube videos to learn how to do DIY skincare, I figured it would be a nice topic for Skincare Sunday. This Avocado Seed Face Scrub is not of my own invention, and I learned about it from here (it's a video that shows the steps). Here's my first go at it, and my thoughts on how it works.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid Review

As summer is still going strong, and it's hotter than hades here, I figured I should review another sunscreen. I'm a little bit of a fanatic when it comes to skin protection. Anyone in my personal life will tell you that I'm a sunscreen dictator. That being said, for that reason I'm always on the hunt for the best one for me. With La Roche-Posay being more readily accessible in the drug store, and now Target, I wanted to try out a fancy French brand. I remember my mom using this when she lived in Paris, and my mom's skin looks great. That was enough of an incentive for me to try out the Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid.

Birchbox August Sneak Peak

Since I've mentioned Birchbox in my past posts (from time to time), it's probably no surprise that I subscribe to it. Today I have a sneak peak video of the August Birchbox contents for those of who just can't wait. I get, sometimes the surprise isn't enough to warrant the wait. It's cool. Just click this link to go to the video. Enjoy.

Fitness Friday: Snacks for Fuel

It's a miracle, but I'm being good and doing a Friday Fitness two weeks in a row! Today I'm going to go over my personal "go-to" snack choices to keep my energy up, and to allow me to workout. Obviously snacking without caution will not help you achieve your goals, but if done correctly, it might be a good option for you. In the end it's still calories in vs. calories out.
