What’s on my mind: Unfortunately the Islanders didn’t win the game on Saturday, however I still had a fun weekend watching hockey, hanging with K and drinking some pumpkin beers and blue moons. In terms of subscription boxes and reviews, … Continue reading
What’s on my Mind? I’ve had a busy week in terms of my job and getting lots of spoilers for October and Fall/Winter Edition Boxes! Luckily, I haven’t received too many subscription boxes this week, but I know a lot … Continue reading
Hi all! It’s been a while since I wrote up one of these, as I’ve been busy with starting my new job, and catching up on the last round of September subscription boxes. I hope you’ve still been actively reading and seeing the spoilers I’ve been releasing and are as excited as I am for the October ones to come piling in!
What happened this weekend/earlier this week
I went to the Islanders Home Opener Game! I went with K and some of his family members to the opening game at Nassau Coliseum on Saturday night and it was PACKED! It was a great game, with pretty close seats and was pretty nail-biting up to the last minute in overtime. Unfortunately, they lost in a shootout, but it was definitely a good opening game.
I got a much need mani/pedi. I always try to delay getting my nails done due to spending money every 1-2 weeks, but I just love feeling pampered and having an hour to myself of relaxation. Plus, I get a cute new color and design each time! This week I went with Essie “where’s my chauffeur,” a light teal color, with some silvery sparkles on my ring fingers.
Mondays are now FREE MEDIUM ICED COFFEE days at Dunkin! I got a coupon in the paper over the weekend, and so you can definitely say I’m getting one every Monday morning before hopping on the train.
What’s on my plate
I have to be honest… I’ve been craving ethnic food like crazy lately. By that I mean, classic Indian, Thai and Japanese foods, straight from the restaurant/chef. There’s just something about doing it yourself that it’s not quite as good as when you order out. Maybe it’s the weather change, who knows!? A few nights ago, I devoured Thai tofu and veggie red curry. Last night, I had some Thai pahd see ew noodles, and today, for lunch, I chowed down on some brown rice sushi! I can’t help it, I’m addicted.
What’s on my To-Do List
Besides making it to the weekend, I have a few subscription boxes and products to blog about! I had quite a few beauty and makeup items come in from Ulta, as well as my Blush Mystery Box (well, bag), which I’m excited to share with you all. This is going to be a jam-packed, busy month in terms of boxes and blogging as I have some new ones coming in later this month as well!

What’s on my Mind: Hi all! Yesterday was K’s Birthday, yay! And of course, like the awesome girlfriend I am, I bought him a Moulson Islanders Jersey, and my parents gave us two tickets to a game against the Bruins … Continue reading
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend and are having a good week so far… I know I am as I prepare to watch Pretty Little Liars tonight with my crew of PLL-Fanatics. It’s just one of those little things that get you through the week! And so, I’ve decided to share some photos from this weekend for any of those interested in what I do when I’m not working or blogging. 🙂
Friday night was Date Night! K and I went to Harusaki and got an amazing array of sushi. We started out with 22 oz. Sapporo Beers and each chose a soup: mine miso, and his seafood! Then we waited patiently for our sushi to arrive.. and not only did it taste delicious but it looked pretty too! I got a “Love Roll” which was fresh raw tuna wrapped around spicy crunchy crabmeat (no rice) and it came with a fresh salmon sashimi and pineapple salad. K got a fried roll consisting of fried lobster in the middle, covered in rice, mango and yellowtail!
Then the happiest discovery came when we went to pick up a case of beer for the night and we saw… dun dun dun.. PUMPKIN ALES! I know Summer isn’t over yet, and it’s still August, but it was pretty exciting. So I got a case of Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale and he got Blue Point Pumpkin and we took them over to a party at his friend Goldie’s house.
Saturday, I found myself luckily obtaining 2 Empire Suite Private Box tickets to the Mets Game. Although I’m a Yankees girl, I couldn’t turn down a free game, booze and food… plus it was something fun and entertaining to do.
The view was seriously awesome. We have a dozen seats in our box overlooking third base, and you could easily see everything happening.
Even though the Mets did–to put it nicely– terrible, we did thoroughly enjoy the ShakeShack burgers, fries, shakes and of course… this pyramid of beer! It was so perfectly arranged I just had to take a picture. I finished about half of the coronas, woops.
All in all, I have to say, it was a fun day. Too bad we didn’t make it on the KissCam.
I’ve been busy for the past day or so, but I’m working on some reviews and should have more posts up for you tomorrow!

What’s on my Mind:
Okay, so it’s mid August and… wait, what? It’s the middle of August!? Sorry, but where exactly did the Summer go? There was a 2 week heat wave and then endless amounts of gloom and rain. I’m sad to say that I’ve been to the beach (besides vacation) about once this summer. That’s when you know childhood/college/happiness is over and you’re a real working adult now.
What’s on my Subscription List:
I’m SO excited for some of the new boxes I’ve signed up for. I received a few boxes last week I still have to post up, and yet I keep thinking about the next ones that are coming. So, on my new subscription list for August, I’m adding Conscious Box! There is currently a Conscious Box Discount going on where if you simply use coupon code FREEBOX, you get your first box free… just pay for the cost of shipping ($7)
Teaser/Spoiler Alert: Apparently Philip B. Maui Wowie Beach Spray (a beachy, texturizing salt water spray) will be one of the items in this month’s Blush Mystery Box! They just revealed it, giving you more of a reason to sign up. At $22 per bottle, this almost pays for the $25 box! I cannot wait.
Additionally on my mind is… I have a LOT of products. I mean, way before I even got into attending beauty events or buying subscription boxes, I was a bit of a beauty/hair/skincare junkie. I’ve even gone to lengths now to organize my products: I have a shelf for sunscreen and selftanner, facial and bodycare, and then hair! My shelves are seriously overrun with Aussie, Garnier and Sublime Bronze products, yet that doesn’t stop me from getting more. Want to know my favorite products? Feel free to ask, and I’ll be posting every now and then with “Love List,” products I’m currently craving.
What did I do this Weekend?
Many fun, relaxing things! I cuddled and played with Bella!
I got Save The Dates for my brother’s wedding in April!
I ate deliciously amazing Mint Chocolate Chip Gelato! (cheat meal, oops)
And best of all, I saved a lil bird! This here is Carlos, or as Kevin decided to name him “Carlos Danger” (if anyone gets the reference… yeah, wasn’t my choice of names). But anyway, we went on a walk/jog at the track and on the way out, we decided to go a different route back to K’s house, and we all of a sudden saw this poor little injured bird lying in the ground. He couldn’t walk or fly, and then we noticed his eye was all beat up, like he flew into something or got attacked by a cat. And so, we found a shoebox, cut holes and created a little home for him with food and water, and Sunday we dropped him off a 1/2 hour away at a Bird Rescue and Rehab center. The woman told us he had his tail ripped off and definitely looked like he had been attacked. Fingers crossed for a healthy recovery for little Carlos!
