My May Birchbox

< a box full of joy >

I always jump for joy when something fun arrives in the mail!  A great magazine or catalog, or in this case, a box full of beauty goodies, sure beats all those white envelopes you may dread opening!  Here is a peek into the goodies that arrived in my Birchbox this month.  I have yet to utilize any of these goods, but you can be sure that I will in the next few days, before this month of May is over!

 < sitting pretty >

 < the packaging by Birchbox is always so neat, colorful, and cute! >

 < sunscreen by COOLA, which will come in handy for sunny summer days; AMIKA hair mask- I am looking forward to trying my first hair mask!; and MARVIS toothpaste, perfect for travel! >

< a neat little eyeliner pencil by Sum!ta that I cannot wait to try!  My biggest hint for eyeliner pencils? Blast your hair dryer on warm on the tip of the pencil for a few seconds, to soften the product a little for lining and smudging >

< Fabulous by Isaac Mizrahi- fruity and totally alluring! >

Wonders from the weekend

< Fabulous 'grown up' food at game night with fun friends! >

This weekend went by way too fast, and I am set on thinking that weekends should always be three days long!  The sunshine and heat was wonderful to be out and about in, but cold drinks were definitely necessary for enjoying the summer-like weather.  The man and I enjoyed a slightly competitive game session with friends which made for a super fun night, I escaped some responsibilities and snuck away to wine country with my bestie, a new delicious Itialian restaurant was discovered, church was nurturing and wonderful as always, toddlers tugged at my hair while I helped out in Sunday school, and progress on a few back yard improvement projects was made.  Quite a wonderful weekend, all in all!  Monday is off to a busy start as usual, but I am going to make this a great week (3P style, of course!) just like I hope all you are planning to do!
