january 2015 birchbox unboxing

I don’t know about you, but I love mail, and I love trying out new beauty products.  When I read about Birchbox on a few blogs about a year ago, I decided I just had to try it.  It’s $10 a month and I receive five or six samples of high end products that I might not have found out about on my own.  By posting reviews or buying full-size products on the website, I earn points that I can use toward full-size products.  (I got my favorite Miss Jessie’s Quick Curl creme for half of what I would pay at Target by using my points the other day!)  Here is my review of my January Birchbox.

my 1st youtube video!

I am absolutely obsessed with YouTube.  I love makeup tutorials, monthly favorites, Get Ready With Me videos (even Get UN-Ready With Me videos), room tours, tags, unboxings, hauls, all of it.  I waste way too much time watching my favorite YouTubers.  So naturally, since this week is finals week and I have two 25-page papers to write, a presentation, and a final (plus I had to write all my STUDENTS’ finals), I thought it would be a great idea to start a YouTube channel at midnight on a Tuesday.

I figured out the basics of my husband’s video camera that he uses to tape his teams’ basketball games, I messed around with iMovie a little and, of course, watched a few YouTube videos about making YouTube videos.  Teenage girls have the best tips.

Then I gathered some of my trash and made an Empties videos (I love those too!).  So here you go, please enjoy the fruits of my EXTREME finals week procrastination.
