january birchbox

I signed up for birchbox in December, and my first box came early January.

Let me tell you, coming home to this on the table after a bad day at work is AWESOME! However, I was like, Man! There is a STRONG smell coming from this box...

Yup, it broke. Definitely smelled like Couture in our house for a while :)

Not only did the perfume break, my granola was everywhere :( LUCKILY, because birchbox is a great company, they sent me a new perfume and not one, but TWO bags of granola. and IS IT EVER GOOD :)

I LOVE this nail polish. I had been wanting this color of nail polish for some time, and surprise, surprise! There was also purple, slightly glittery eye liner, and yummy pomegranate soap :)

This soap smells SO GOOD!

 I've decided I'm going to try it for another month and see how it is. I'm sure it's worth it, seeing as it's only $10; however, that's $110 per year. We'll see.

So here I am, eating my dinner of refried beans, cheese, and tortilla chips. Can you tell I'm alone tonight? :) As I was preparing it (ha, what is there to prepare but put it in the microwave), I glanced at the ingredients in the refried beans: prepared dry beans, water, salt, LARD (partially hydrogenated lard, with bha and bht added to help protect flavor), onion powder, chili pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Was it good? YES!!! For a little while. Then I realized I was starving, and that's probably why it tasted good. GROSS!!! LARD???

This weekend was SUPER NICE. For our anniversary, Tim and I went out for dinner. Good food. Good, expensive food. Friday night we went to COLD STONE CREAMERY :D :D :D I had cake batter and lemon poppy seed ice cream. Deeeeeeelllliccccious! ;)

Um, yeah. Not my picture. I got it off yahoo. I, sadly, didn't take any pictures this past weekend :(

 

Saturday we went to Traverse. With no plans in buying anything, we left with a Mac...they had a deal with 6 months, ZERO interest! Tim had been wanting to buy one for recording and was planning on buying one in a couple months; but with that deal, he decided to just buy it now :) He's so happy! I left Traverse with a new pair of shoes :)

Each day was just spent together, something we've needed for a long time. It's amazing how spending just a LITTLE bit of extra time together strengthens your relationship.
