Sunday Seven

I had such an amazing week & I thought I would share some of the highlights. 

I know a lot of bloggers do this & they are some of my favourite posts!

It's a simple way to share some inspiration.

Julep Maven | February 2013

I resubscribed to Julep Maven & am so happy I did! I just received my box for February, and I am in love with all the nail polishes. I just had to use them right away! The theme for this month was "Get on the A-List" and the polishes are from the "Glamour Collection".  The polishes were inspired by famous Hollywood actresses.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

I love pumpkin. Each fall, I buy anything & everything that is pumpkin flavoured. Coffee, breads, candles, soaps. I just couldn't get enough. Then with the transition from fall to winter, pumpkin was moved to the back burner. This January I am bringing back my love of pumpkin with this smoothie recipe.

Birchbox | January 2013

 My January 2013 Birchbox arrived this Saturday. The theme is Best Year Ever, and I love the bonus poster that came with this months box. I also am really happy overall with my samples! I haven't been as impressed with my last couple of BB's, so it's great to be excited about it again! Click for more!

18K Gold Nails

Ever since I tested out the 18K gold top coat at Sephora, I was in love. Unfortunately, I did not share that feeling for the thirty dollar price tag. It seems now that most major nail polish brands carry a real gold top coat, and I was happy to see that Zoya came out with one last Fall, Zoya Gilty. Even happier that I grabbed a flash promo that made Zoya Gilty free. It has definitely become one of my favourite polishes! Here are some of the colour combinations I have done so far.

Review | boscia be brilliant set

As I was packing for the holidays to head back to my hometown, I stocked up on mini's of my favourite products. I had just run out of my sample of the boscia Purifying Cleansing Gel that I received in a Birchbox and knew I had to find another one to replace it. boscia has quickly become my favourite skincare brand! I received a sample of their BB Cream & the Cleansing Gel in a Birchbox, and ever since I have been hooked. I love their philosophy of combining the power of nature and science. I also find the sulfate, paraben, and preservative free formulas to be gentle on my sensitive skin.

Apartment Therapy's January Cure

I love Apartment Therapy as a resource for organization, decoration, and inspiration for small space living. Though my apartment in Brooklyn is definitely tiny, it's a huge reflection on my personal self. So I decided to participate in the January Cure to help me focus on my living space which can be taken for granted in the day-to-day shuffle. Every day of the month, you will get an email to an "assignment" to help you stay on track getting your home clean and organized. It just started on January 2nd so feel free to sign up for the emails here!

New Year's Day | 2013

It's a brand new year! I can't believe that it is 2013 already. I had a great 2012 & have a good feeling that 2013 is going to be amazing as well (though I am not in love with the number.) And with this new year comes a new calendar. I love my technology and am completely dependent on my iPhone, but there is something about a physical planner that I can't give up. It's one my favourite things to purchase each year. Today I thought I would share with you some of my agendas to inspire you to be a little more organized in 2013.

Birchbox | December 2012

 I received my Birchbox super early this month. It was a nice, unexpected surprise after a long day of classes! This month is holiday themed, of course, and I am obsessed with the packaging! The actual Birchbox features a designed lid. I need to think of some way to reuse this one! To find out what's inside, click to read more!

DIY | Cat Scratching Post

This cat scratcher is one of my favourite DIY's to make. It is customizable, simple, basically free, and your cat will love it! It also makes a great gift to give to your cat or to an animal-loving friend.

The set retails for $35 and can be purchased at tarte or Sephora (though it appears to no longer be available online.)

Birchbox | November 2012

Finally, I am getting around to posting my Birchbox for this month (& just posting in general.) I have had the most chaotic month! Midterms, conferences, papers, & weekends away from home have all prevented me from blogging & well just about doing anything. On the plus side, because I am posting this so late, I was able to test out just about every product. The theme of this month's box was "give."
