rainy days make me want to wear pants.  a feeling i should have listened to yesterday when I wore strappy sandals and stepped in many puddles.

 new found singledom has brought about a new found need for wheels.

new wheels, AWD wheels for safety...pretty excited for Avery and I! (yes, he's wearing his bike helmet in that photo..he's a little helmet (or hel-nut as he says) obsessed.

what i'm wearing today:  tank/sandals: F21; skirt: Ardene (local store); cardi: Costa Blanca (local store)

i'm so tired this morning...working in food processing is NO JOKE when it comes to producing safe quality food. yesterday we had our on-site pre audit assessment and i am absolutely drained today.  okay, maybe going to bed and drinking almost an entire bottle of wine and getting up at 5:30 am probably didn't help things..... ;)

April Luxe Box...

 April 2012 Luxe Box

 I received my April luxe box by loose button this morning, you know the drill by now it's a monthly (12$) subscription service where you receive "luxury" beauty samples and if you're lucky one full size product.  This is my 4th? box, but it's also my last. It's been very hit or miss and while I have been happy with some sample and full sized items, I've been disappointed by a lot too.  I know you can't win them all and it's "only" 12$, but right now it's my 12$ that I don't want to spend getting disappointed on more run of the mill samples.  That being said I will make full size purchases from some samples that I have tried, like the Biosilk Silk Therapy hair treatment. 

 

Goodies in this month's box

 item fact sheet

 Full size polish, Essie (8$)

 Orlane Perfect Complexion Treatment Foundation

 Fekkai Advanced Salon Technician Color Care Shampoo, Conditioner and Moisture Mask (2 Samples)

Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Shampoo + Conditioner

Least excited about this product...more shampoo? And a drug store brand at that? 

Out of the 12$ I spent, I'm most excited for the Fekkai samples, but I don't think two samples are entirely worth 12$
