birchbox. january.
super excited about my first birchbox delivery. inside the box i found a cute card which lists the actual contents plus the cost each item should you desire to purchase the full size. the sample sizes are larger than normal, which is a plus as you can use it a few times to see if you'd actually be interested in purchasing the item. there was also a cute card of mini detoxes, which is great since it's a new year. i look forward to receiving additional boxes. (www.birchbox.com).



my birchbox contained:
- algenist: firming and lifting cream
- FIX malibu: complexion soothing serum
- juicy couture signature fragrance
- zoya nail polish in "kendall"
- wichcraft granola: one word: gross. it tasted as if it had been cooked too long.
drop by & DIY: collars.

random search on refinery 29, probably looking for new nail ideas, i stumbled upon a class for diy (do it yourself) collars hosted by studio 85 and kiah leigh. i purchased my ticket, eagerly anticipating sunday to meet other fashionable and creative folks as well as trying something i’ve never tried before. clearly, i’m crafty: bleaching things, realizing that scissors are my friend and the magic one can create with a sole seam ripper.
initially when i sat down, i was a bit overwhelmed with possibilities. they provided shirts, sequins, studs, stones, pearls, tacky glue, music, suggestions and conversation. after sitting there looking dazed and confused, i finally decided to use small and medium stones on the corners of the collar. it took approximately two hours *give or take chat time and other random breaks* to complete.
overall, i had a great time, met some cool folks and have an much better understanding in regards to shirts with anything other than standard buttons costing a tad bit more. i’m definitely looking forward to taking classes and doing more than using scissors and a seam ripper.
