Birchbox and a Mug Swap

BIRCHBOX!

I just love getting mail!  Well, the mail that makes me happy.  It's not too often I get a package in the mail or a letter from a friend.  But today when I got the mail, I got my first Birchbox!  I skipped home and immediately grabbed the scissors and ripped the box free, giddy like a child in a candy shop.  Samples, samples, I love samples!  I heard about the Birchbox from Lovely Life of Leah when she got her first Birchbox.  You have to sign up and get on a waiting list.  Birchboxes are packages you get in the mail with samples of really nice products.  If you like what you got, you can order more from their site.

 So I got 5 nifty little things...



 Those band-aids are for real women.  They have some chic designs on them, I almost can't wait until I get a boo-boo!  I've tried all of the stuff already.  Rose scented face toner/freshener, very expensive perfume, lip stain/gloss and soap.  I could immediately smell the soap before I even opened the box.

So there you have it.  I'll get a box for the next 3 months.  I can justify spending $10 a month on lovely samples that make me feel happy and pretty.


MUG SWAP!!!

I found Natalie's mug swap at He Me and Them and couldn't resist.  She hooked me up with Jennifer at Finding My Way in Texas and this is the mug she sent me.


I absolutely love this mug!  It's plain, yes, but the inside is really cool.  What I like the most about this mug is the way it feels in my hands.  It's a soft square, it's lightweight and it doesn't make me drool coffee on myself when I drink.  Oh, and it's big, too.  When I sit down in the morning for a coffee break, I want a coffee break!  Like 20 minutes break.  No little tea cup espresso sip and you're done kinda coffee break.  Thanks, Jennifer for sending me such a cool mug!  Now head on over to He Me and Them and get into the coffee mug swap action!

That's all I got for now.  Just catching up with all the craziness we've had all week.  Have a blessed day!

Still here!

It's been a crazy week and it took me this long to realize that I haven't posted anything since So What! Wednesday.  I am a one-track minded kind of gal.  I can only focus on one motivating thing at a time.  Some days I get down on myself about that.  I used to be a great multitasker.... a great one! But in the last several years, my multitasking skills have plummeted.  My dear sweet friend once told me that I can no longer multitask because I'm already multitasking a million other things.  God bless her heart! 

So while this week has been crazy, I've been focusing on my new button you may have noticed on my blog.  I have Leah over at Lovely Life of Leah to thank.  Leah created my new button and now I have an image.  Leah is also sponsoring my blog for the month of June so I'm super excited about that.  If you have a blog, go check her out to get sponsored too.  If you don't have a button, she'll create one for you, too.  Leah is full of life and her blog is fun to read.  Go check her out!

In the meantime, I've been trying to motivate myself to write some poetry.  I haven't written any poems in a long time and all of a sudden, I'm getting motivated again.  I hope to come up with some new stuff soon so while I'm getting my creative vibes a vibrating, check out some of these poems I've made in the past:

A Father's Day Poem
Praise Poem
How Dreams Begin
Mystical Poem
The Tree
God's Shining on You
Christ in Mother
The God Sonnet
A Mother's Love
Ocean
