Now that I've tried out almost all the products in my April Birchbox, here is what I thought of them: Benta Berry G-1 Exfoliating Facial Cleanser Eh not really feeling this exfoliating cleanser. It smelled really nice, but the sample size was so small, and I don't think my skin reacted to it ...

Baked Parmesan Seasoned Fries
I found this recipe from Playing With Sugar via Pinterest! I make these once a week with these herbed chicken nuggets and they are soo yummy (and super easy too). Here's what you need: 1 pound of medium russet potatoes (I use one large russet potato, which is enough for 2 people) 1 1/2 TBSP of ...
My Birthday Weekend
So last week was my birthday and I celebrated on Saturday (I guess I should change the sidebar to say that I'm 25, huh?). I was originally going to have dinner with a couple friends until Shawn's coworker sent an email out about selling tickets for the Philadelphia Orchestra concert for that night. ...
My April Birchbox
Huh? I thought I unsubscribed from Birchbox? Well I did in December...and signed up for MyGlam for two months which turned out to be a big fail. After going without any kind of beauty-sampling box for a month I decided to resubscribe to Birchbox. They had such a good box for March from what I saw, ...
Chicken Tikka Masala
So Shawn was away last night, and he's not a huge fan of Indian food, so I took it as the perfect opportunity to try out the chicken tikka masala dish I had been wanting to try from Skinny Taste! Here's what you need: 2 tsp canola oil or you could use butter (I used butter) 1 small onion, minced ...
Stylemint “Newbury” Tee (and Jewelmint extra!)
This extremely simple Stylemint tee is one of their earlier releases, but I've had my eye on it for so long that I decided to just get it this month instead of one of the April tees, which I wasn't really feeling. I also think it is one of their most popular tees because its so basic and versatile! ...
Truvía Natural Sweetener Product Review
I decided to post this review here instead of my beauty blog since the product doesn't really have anything to do with beauty. I received this natural, calorie-free sweetener to test out in my Influenster Love Vox Box back in February, and have just finished using up the pack I received. I mainly ...
Easter and Gardening Update
Hope everyone had a lovely Easter (if you celebrate it)! I'm not really religious, but its a good occasion to have some yummy food and candy =p Shawn was able to come home with me for the weekend, so that was great. I had off on Friday and I spent most of the day freaking out because none of my ...
NuMe 25mm Curling Wand
First off, I have a new theme so let me know what you think! I'm still tweaking things a bit :-) I'm sorry if anyone was trying to access this blog on Friday. It was down all day because of a network outage with my hosting company. ugh! But anyway..here is my review on the NuMe Curling Wand (size ...
Chicken Piccata
I found this recipe on the front page of AllRecipes.com when I went to go look up something else. There was a video on how to make it, and it looked so easy (and good!) so I figured I'd try it this week. I also ended up having it (or a variation of it I guess) when I went out for dinner over the ...
