My First Birchbox! & 2015

One of the things I asked for on Christmas was a one year Birchbox subscription! I have heard many great things about it and want to try it out. The best gifts are those that keep on giving, right!
My first box came in the mail on Christmas Eve! Great timing! The blue package it came in is so cute! Blue is my favorite color!

My first box's products are:
Harvey Prince Ageless
Stainiac by TheBalm
Suki exfoliate foaming cleanser
Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy body wash
Juice Beauty Stem Cellular moisturizer

I also received Hello by Harvey Prince for Christmas! It's a very light scent, but still very warm & classy. Hello is described as welcoming, loving, and refreshing with notes of meyer lemon, white grapefruit, satsuma mandarin, summer forsythia, pink plumeria, wild verbena, Tahitian vanilla, and sensual musk.
Ageless is described as fresh, sensual, and luminous. It has notes of pink grapefruit, pomegranate, mango, jasmine, tuberose, ylangylang,and sandalwood! It reminds me of the beach!
It all sounds very good.. I know.
I think I shall just take a bite. ;)

This year has brought many new experiences. I'm thankful for what they have taught me, and what 2015 will bring. I hope everyone can find something good in this past year, and this coming year is full of wonderful experiences!

With that being said.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

there has been so much change over the past year, but i wouldn't change any of the experiences. i'm at a strange and new place but would not trade it for anything #aritziacleanslate

New York & Company, Charlotte Russe, TJMaxx Haul

I've discovered the secret to finding good deals at TJMaxx- go on the day they stock up!

Usually the store is picked over & it can be overwhelming digging through racks of clothes, bags, and whatever else may be hidden. On this day, everything was popping out at me!

The store was full of tons of cute stuff for cheap prices! I got my mom Caramel Godiva & Chocolate Macaron coffee-the smell so good!! ($6)

Earlier that day I had been at Sephora-Kat Von D lipstick are about $20, at TJMaxx, I found one for $4!!! Although, I wasn't crazy about the color, the price is unbelievable.

Anyway, I will have to start going when the stock up.

Healthy Berry Orange Smoothie

Ingredients:

Almond milk

Greek yogurt

Frozen berries

Orange

Truvia (optional)

Chia seeds (optional)

Smoothies are a great after-workout snack or if you're feeling fruity... <--- haha.. in more ways than one. ;)

There are so many options.. Kale. Spinach. Chia seeds. Honey. Yogurt. & an endless amount of fruit/vegtables!

I don't have any specific measurements I go by... just by taste.

Apples, oranges, and bananas make smoothies sweeter if you have a sweet tooth, like I do.

What smoothie combinations do you like?

Send me a picture on twitter if you try this combination!

Be Thankful

If I looked at my life a year ago and saw what was ahead for me in 2014 I would put a caution sign: WARNING!!

When they say everyday is a gift.. they're not lying. I've lost loved ones this year, been through emotional heartache, terrible accidents, and life struggles. As this last month of 2014 comes upon us, it should be months of happiness, joy, unity, and peace. Though, this isn't guaranteed.

In fact, nothing is guaranteed. Just when things seem to be going right, God hits you with another curve ball... see if you can handle this.

Our struggles can make us or break us. With so many unexpected events, it can be easy to break. Yes, it would be easier to break....

DON'T

Sometimes the positive things in life are hidden by the negative things. We must remember the positive to get us through the negative.

I am blessed to have been able to travel to 3 different countries, have an amazing birthday, and began to transform my way of thinking.

After each positive event this year, ironic enough, something terrible happens. Life is a rollercoaster, I now understand that.

As I continue to grow as a person, I'm sure my life will be filled with many more happy and sad times.

I refuse to let the sad have dominance over me.

Remember that there is a vast world before you. Don't get trapped in your own.
