Happy Birthday with a Cold

I haven't been keeping up with the blogging world lately.

I've since gotten the November Julep box & the November Glymm box.

Today is my 26th birthday and I am sick.. That's mainly why I've been so lazy about blogging.
I get home from work and curl up in bed and try to keep warm and get back the ability to breath outta my nose.


If I get on things I'll take pictures of the Glymm and Julep boxes and will post about them.

I also ventured down to Watertown for Black Friday and picked up a few things.. Only one real super buy (flannel sheets for $16) otherwise no real spectacular savings or exciting things.
White Peppermint M&Ms - are so good; wonder if these will come to Canada.

Topbox November

I think I signed up for Topbox back in August, so when I finally got my "The Wait is Over" email I was pretty excited.

However, Topbox is also raising their prices (seems like every box is) from $10 a month to $12.
Topbox is different than other beauty boxes because they actually ship things in a tube.
I received version # 4 - which I found out from the tracking info on Canada Post.


I don't know how to sign up for the environmentally friendly packaging but I think this tube is really pretty; I just have to find a re-use for it.
Maybe once they start piling up I'll switch over.




So this month features 4 samples.

For my first box I am pretty happy; the China Glaze polish alone made the box worth it.

Not bad.
