H54F + Birchbox Beauty Bash

1.My Fitbit arrived! Let's just say I'm in love. Don't believe me? Facebook will prove me right.

"24 hours with my Fitbit has been a complete success. I was able to view my sleeping pattern from last night (I came out of restful sleep 20 times, yes 20) AND I was finally able to use my missing fitness link-my BMR. I now know without a doubt how many calories I am burning 24 hours a day. To see such a large deficit between my calories in versus calories out is SUCH a good feeling. In addition to these interesting and valuable pieces of info, I was also able to see my steps taken, floors climbed, and distance traveled. HIGHLY recommend one-fitness freak or not."

2. My May Fitness Challenge Group is coming along quite well. I'm excited to add the new members to the group soon! I still have 1-2 spots left if you are interested! 

3. I can't tell you how many times I need this exact thing every a few mornings this week. Word. 

4. Bubble party!!! 

5. The third (?)  Oklahoma Blogger Meet Up is tomorrow! I am really looking forward to seeing a lot of the ladies I met last time and have kept in touch with since! Speaking of, I need a spray tan. 

Now! Time for the Birchbox Beauty Bash! Link up for all things beauty! While you are here, go visit a few other links!

March Birchbox Review

HEY! My Birchbox arrived and wow, its a good one.

If you don't already, please join us THIS Friday for the Birchbox Beauty Bash. It is a linkup for all things beauty (not just Birchbox subscribers)! DIY's, tutorials, reviews...just about anything.

You will find my monthly vlog below, don't worry...I say um about 83674536 times and have a child running around me. I left out/forgot the Hair Powder pictured above, simply because I had used it earlier in the day. Its fab. I had never used powdered dry shampoo, just the spray kind. I'm sold. Super easy to use and added great texture to my hair. My ponytail seen in the video was possible because of the Hair Powder (I had just spent 2 hours in the 40 mph winds, not even kidding).

Take a look!

Anastasia Lash Lifting Mascara-A volumizing mascara that keeps lashes curled all day long! 


Befine Night Cream-This one is really interesting to me. If you can see, it says "food skin care." The product is filled with cocoa, millet, and rice bran. 


Kerastase Elixir Ultime-A conditioning oil that hydrates and smoothes.


Supersmile Professional Whitening Toothpaste-Yes, please! 


Alex and Isabelle Classic Hair Ties-I'm not sure how to exactly use this one, but it claims no more snags and crimps. Worth finding out how to use it, for sure! 


I can't wait for my next one!
