the sister weekend was a success! we had so much fun smashed into four days. i was exhausted by the time i got home, but that’s how i know i put everything into it. i needed that break. and i’m glad i got to spend it with my baby sister. click HERE for more pics!

my november birchbox was fantastic. and that’s because i knew what was coming. i was one of the lucky ones to be able to choose an early, special box. i chose the glamlifeguru box, which was designed by one of my favorite youtubers, tati.

i feel a second (or third or millionth) wind coming. i want to be healthy. there are so many temptations everywhere, and the next few weeks will be difficult. but i feel good. i feel motivated. i feel like i have the right mindset again.

school (all three days of it) were a challenge this week. i had a hard time keeping a positive attitude with all the busyness going on all the time. but that’s how it goes with the holidays coming up. the kids…and the adults, come to think of it…get antsy. i like to think of the holidays as a reward for getting through the semester. just a few more weeks!

I’m glad you had a great time with your sister! Have you ever tried Ipsy instead of Birchbox? I did Birchbox for several years before switching over but I find Ipsy to be fun. I just miss the points you accumulate with Birchbox. And I heard the remake of Ironic earlier this week. . . it’s hilarious! Thanks for linking up for H54F!

I did try Ipsy for a few months, but I found I liked Birchbox better and I didn’t want to pay for both. But with those boxes, it’s really just what you get that makes that decision. I know some people LOVE Ipsy.
Cheers to a fun sister weekend. I had one last weekend and it was a blast! Hope you get to recover from the busy week this weekend.
How to Write Lesson Plans is basically my week on How to Prep for Client Meetings. gah! TGIF!
Thanks! 😄 The crazy week is over. Have a great weekend!
I’ve been wanting to try that dry shampoo! What a great box you got!

I’ve recently started following on YouTube. I like he style. I agree, this week was a rough one for me at school too. No matter how hard I try, sometimes its just hard to stay positive one second longer.
Yay for a great sister visit!! Loved that Ironic update!
It’s funny, huh! It made me laugh out loud the first time.
Kids AND adults sure are getting antsy, I hear that one! Alanis was my first concert when I was a freshman in high school, the best! 🙂
