[ What :: July 2011 Birchbox ? o.O ]

My first Birchbox that ii received was in July.
Yeah so ii know it's really late for this... but ii decided to post about it & upload my Birchbox video anyway ! =P
ii just wanted to share with you darlings what products ii received in my box.
Let me know if you got some or all of the same products in your Birchbox as well. =D

The first thing ii noticed about the box it came in... [Not the pink shipping box] was that it had a cool & neat looking sleeve cover. It turns out that Birchbox did a collaboration with Cynthia Rowley ! So the products in the box were her chosen picks. Pretty awsome ii'll say !

If you don't know what Birchbox is...
What's Birchbox ? 
--> It's an awsome program where you receive 4-5 samples of high-end products to try out, for $10 a month. That's so much better than Sephora's Beauty Insider Program ! agree ? ! well.. ii think so ;p
You also receive 10 loyalty points, for every feedback survey you do on the item that you received. & 10 points for every Birchbox shipped out to you. When you rack up 100 loyalty points, you redeem $10 towards buying full-size products on their website.

Here are some photos ii took to show you darlings ::









July 2011 Products ii received ::
Korres Fig Little Showergel


Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Cleanser


Redken Shine Flash Spray


YSF Beauty Automatic Eye Brow Pencil in Universal Taupe






EXTRA item ::
KIND Almond & Apricot; a Fruit & Nut Bar


Yeaaa so those are the samples ii received in my July Birchbox ! <3 
awsome, awsome program that ii HIGHLY suggest you guys try out ! =D
it's only $10 !

Here's my video showing you guys my July 2011 Birchbox as well.
Enjoy & Thanks for reading & watching.
Have a beautiful day !

Lots of cupcake lovies,

[ Day 2 Post Surgery. ]

So today is the second day, since ii've gotten my bunion surgery this past Thursday morning.
Yesterday, ii didn't feel as much soreness as ii felt today.
Since the anesthesia has completely wore off, ii am completely relying on pain medication now... & let me tell you... it fuckin' suckss ! ii almost cried last night from the pain & frustration.. & ii shed a few tears today because ii couldn't get my leg propped up properly & comfortably.
Because my leg wasn't all that comfortable propped up on the pillows, my ankle was starting to hurt from the heaviness of the bandage wrapped around my foot. &my knee started locking from not being able to get situated correctly either. The way my leg had to be propped up.. was causing my knee and ankle to hurt.. so ii no longer have to deal solely, with the pain in my toes.. but my ankle & my knee... oh joy ! -_-

&whenever ii have to get up to go to the bathroom.. whenever ii take my leg off its propped up position.. all the blood rushes to my foot & then that's when ii feel the not so friendly pain ! Then it takes me a few minutes to finally get up, 'cause ii kind of roll in a bed from the pain.. as if that would help -_-
This is pain ii've never felt before.. & ii am NOT looking forward to this week....

But ii am soo grateful & happy that ii have an amazing, loving boyfriend to help take care of me.. it's nice to be babied.. but not babied too much loll. He's getting so tired from helping me & it's only been a couple days >_< eekkk...ii feel bad... if ii wasn't in so much pain, ii wouldn't want the help.. but alas ii am, so ii just accept it. ii am forever thankful for him &ii love him soo very muchhh. ii consider myself a very lucky gal to have such a catch like him<3 :-*
&btw. today is our anniversary ! hehe ^-^ time has passed by soo fast ! 

That's the end of my post..ii'm getting sleepy hehe..

Have a beautiful day, darlings.
Always,
Yummy/Elise <3 xox
