Single Swag

Do you ever have one of those weeks that feel like two? Yeah.. been there, seems like weekly these days. But today when the clock finally turned 8pm... I was free! I had a happy mailbox when I checked this evening and it's always a nice to have happy mail! 

I'm a fan of subscription boxes, I've done Birchbox before which is a monthly box delivered full of makeup and beauty samples. I've never been a huge wearer of makeup and my beauty routine remains something to be improved so I haven't subscribed to Birchbox for a while but I did manage to find a few products that have become regulars.. I'm looking at you Lulu Organics Lavender Clary Sage Hair Powder. I came across the Singles Swag, which is a monthly subscription box where you can discover full-sized products from best selling books to artisan-crafted foods and trending fashion accessories. I've seen some of the boxes in the past on their Instagram page and who can say no to box off goodies to treat yourself! Here's a peek of what was inside my March box. Pretty good I'd say! Can't wait to see what I find next month! 

If you think you'd like to give a try use this code for 25% off your first box! 

Happy Fri-yay everyone and remember happiness is not having to set an alarm in the morning! 

Knock On Wood Folks

Buy a lotto ticket or something, because I don't think today could have possibly been any better of a day.

1* It is FRIDAY! 
2* Work was actually enjoyable. {Thanks to the HW}
3* My hello I'm here at my desk flag actually served a purpose [I got moved to the corner of the department, you might say its a place where you could be sitting dead at your desk for days and no one would find you for days. But it was mentioned that you cannot tell if I am at my desk from a distance, and believe me anyone who would want to see me is at a distance, so I have a little mailbox type flag at my desk, flag up- I'm here, no flag-no heather.] But someone was looking for me and Page Turner was able to say see that flag, she's there. awesomeness.
4* Had a meet and greet with my new boss, gave me hope for the future
5* Went to second chance- got offered free popcorn because they were getting ready to close
6* Was so happy that I got free popcorn, I had a little pep in my step
7* That pep in my step allowed me to be looking around rather than doing the head down sad feet drag I would have normally been doing.
8* Looking up allowed me to witness the blue moon of the work place- I saw a man get completely blindsided by the mailcart robot. He had his back turned and didn't even see it coming. [Don't stand in the worn path on the carpet when standing talking to people... write that down for future reference]
9* The retelling of #8 to coworker got me cheers of congrats, three high-fives and a hug from Mr. Grinch.
10* November Birchbox!! a full size mascara with a mirror on the side, score! 

I've been Cozy, Cold and Busy?

I spent the better part of last weekend curled up in a blanket in sweatpants/sweatshirt (mostly because our furnace hadn't been working) and watched a better part of season 2 of Downton Abbey, if only I could have been a part of a British aristocratic family....But we've got some catching up to do and some random thoughts to get out there...

** A few weeks ago I went to the Found Footage Festival basically it's these two guys that go around to thrift shops and pick up old VHS tapes and people send them in to them too. They cut them together which equals hilarity. Think awkward 80's exercise videos, training videos entitled "don't shake hands with danger" and how to massage your opossum. Hilarity.

** I got my first Birchbox in the mail. If you aren't familiar with Birchbox, it's ok, I wasn't until a friend told me about it. For $10, you get a monthly mailbox surprise full of all kinds of beauty goodies. I like it because I get to try smaller sizes of things without wasting the money on a full size something you won't end up liking. My favorites this month was the Mox lip butter and the Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur fragrance, loved! I've only gotten one box so far but I love it.

** Halloween has come and gone already. I carved pumpkins and dressed up like a nosy old lady. It was fantastic! 

** Tomorrow I start my Holiday Sewing class! For the next six Monday's I'll be making fabulous holiday gifts! 

** I went to Target today and bought things I didn't need. Why does Target do that to you? I haven't sent Christmas cards in years but felt compelled to buy and send them this year.

** Thanks. I just want to take a second to thank everyone who reads my blog and has ever left me a kind comment.You are all so supportive and some of you I've never even met. Your kind words are always appreciated and so thoughtful, thank you! 

** I'm fighting the urge to not break out the Christmas music, don't judge I know it's early. I just can't fight off the holiday spirit and everyone knows the best way to spread Christmas cheer
