BirchBox

Lately there has been a ton of hype surrounding beauty box subscriptions, I have a few friends whom have their own subscription and have decided to try one myself. There are so many choices so on the word of some close friends I decided to try Birchbox first.
 
I signed up around December 10 and received my first Box today, The subscription is billed monthly on the first of the month and then you should receive your box by the 10th of every month you can cancel anytime and the price per month is $10, Basically you get a bunch of "sample" products" based on questions you answer to build yourself a beauty profile, Not everyone gets the same box and the products you are given to try are available to purchase through their site, you also accumulate points through purchases which you can use to purchase items on Birchbox.com
 
Here is my First Box

 

 
For my First BirchBox I'am extremely pleased, at first I really didn't think I was going to like it but after testing out all the products I LOVE IT!  7 items total which is FABULOUS per their site they say between (4-5) the sample sizes are a great size too, not super tiny like you would expect, I got a 7.5 oz Votive candle, nail polish, Argon Shampoo, Organic Argon body wash, 2 hand lotion samples and a chapstick.
 
Greenleaf Candle Co.- This candle smells wonderful it has a slight citrus with a subtle hint of floral. I have already lit it and have been enjoying the smell all night (starlight scent) this full size candle will run you $17.
 
Nelson J. Beverly Hills Argon Non Foaming shampoo
Smells minty and it is a thick white cream like conditioner I put a little bit on my dry hair at the ends and my roots  just to see and it did give it softness and shine! this does say it is a shampoo, conditioner, hair detangler, color sealer, smooth serum & pre styling lotion all in one!  A full size will run you $22.
 
Color Club Nail Polish
Although I'am not a big nail polish fan this has a nice slate shine to it.
Full Size will run you $8.
 
Antica Farmacista Hand Lotion
At first I was not the least bit into trying hand lotion but I did, the smell is pretty nice it is loaded with shea butter and vitamin E, I have to admit and it felt very nice and almost silky when applying, I have to say it won me over I could see myself purchasing this! A full size will run you $18
 
Acure Organics Cell Stimulating Body Wash
At first I though... What the heck is cell stimulating body wash  and the description says it is a blend of argan stem cells(CoQ10) with moisturizing oils, the smell is actually nice almost like a cherry walnut smell. next shower i'll definitely give it a try! Full size will run you only $9.99
 
SO for now i'm quite happy with this new Beauty box subscription and I look forward to the next few months to see what's in store.

Forever 21+

So being that I am far beyond my 20's I have not shopped with Forever 21 in sometime... Now at 30 with 4 kids I would look like the old lady trying to dress like a teen, However I came across that they have a couple lines with their brand one being Forever 21+  which is plus size clothing, looking at their "regular" size large which looks like it would fit my 9 year old daughter I saw a TOO GOOD TO PASS UP SALE on Black Friday so I decided to do a little shopping to try out the clothes and a few accessories. Here is my Black Friday Forever 21+ haul.
I paid roughly around $43 for all this , like I said it was TOO GOOD to pass up.
 
Review: On the "plus side" the quality is actually extremely good and at any given time I would have NO PROBLEM paying Full price for this kind of merchandise. Sizing is actually pretty perfect, as most retailers tend to have their sizes run smaller I decided to go up a size out of panic but there was no need to at all, my regular size would be a PERFECT fit, I will definitely make the sizing work though I actually like it because they fall longer making it easy for me to pair with tights . Accessories were a steal they were only about $1.00 each and they are far beyond $1.00 quality. I will FOREVER be a customer with FOREVER 21+.

Bow Heels

I recently came across the hottest black shoes that I had to have! These sexy yet classy shoes were a steal! My final price w/ shipping was $16.99, I found these on Poshmark. they are True to size for me in an 8 and are wide foot friendly! These are the perfect heel to add to my holiday wardrobe!
 

 
Shoe: Suede like Material with Satin Bow & Zipper
 

Wide Calf Boots

Long boots are an ABSOLUTE must have for Fall/ Winter wardrobes, BUT if you are like me with LARGE calves finding boots to fit right can be exhausting, Recently I was just about to give up on finding a pair of wide calf friendly boots for a reasonable price and then I found THESE BEAUTIES!!! I have 18.5 inch calves!!!! and to find boots to fit I thought would be impossible but they are NOT. these boots are GORGEOUS on and they stretch at the top and the best part is I can stll fit them over tights or skinny jeans! i'am a TRUE size 8 and these boots fit well, now someone with WIDER feet may want to go up a 1/2 size for a little more room for when wearing socks!
 

Shoe: "Raine"
Justfab.com $39.95
