March Birchbox

I finally got my first Birchbox, and it took forever to get it. At one point I was looking at the package tracking info and it's being sent all the way to Missouri. I'm very happy w/ the products that are in the box but I'm still a little annoyed that the boxes comes out of NYC and I live in Philly, there was no reason for the box to take so long to get to me. I'm given them 2 more months but if it takes just as long, I might cancel the service.

I have tried most everything in the box and I really like the Jouer moisturizing tint, it blends in with my bare mineral makeup an extra plus it has sunscreen in it, pretty sure I'm going to buy it. The hair elixir orofluido is also great it helps to tame my hair on those rainy spring days. I do also enjoy the nail polish and I'm sure it will work well with my nail pens so stay tuned for more nail designs.

All the goodies 

Fabric Workshop

I don't know how many people are in the Philly area but the fabric workshop is a must check out place. The pictures below are from their current show but they are always changing up the art but its a must see. It was so interesting learning about these contemporary artists b/c there work seems strange at first, but then I think back to some of the great artists and how there work was recognized in their time. 

The Book Thief

For March Book Club we read The Book Thief. This book was very interesting and I really enjoyed reading it. Even though the was about being in Germany during World War II, the book focuses on what its like to be a normalish German family and their struggles. The book also has a very interesting narrator who describes everything with such detail its hard to put down the book. I would love to hear about other peoples thoughts on the book since I'm not able to go to the book club meeting. But I will leave you with a quote from the book that really drew me in.

" People observe the colors of the only at its beginnings and ends, but to me it's quite clear that a merges through a multitude of shades and intonations with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colors waxy yellows, cloud spat blues, murky darkness. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them."
