Yoga and Boscia



--I have to say, I cannot believe how much yoga has transformed me. I am really not one to work out or even talk about exercising but yoga itself is totally different. In college, I went to a yoga class here and there at the university gym but since I have moved back to the city, I have had to find a new place to start up my practice.

--To be honest, I didn't even really have a practice. It was just a relaxation go-to for me. When I moved back to the city, I decided to try Yoga at Tiffany's . It's a quaint yoga studio with a boutique, high end type feel to it. I LOVE it. It is hot yoga, so some classes are up to 98 degrees but I have never felt so cleansed, calmed and overall better vitality than starting my practice here. I LOVE IT!

Ok, yoga spiel over. (But expect more to come.)

--I have been loving boscia facial cleanser more and more lately. I am actually going to do a product review of it soon because I have noticed such a difference in the texture of my skin!

All right, it is late and I am in need of some rest.

Birchbox Trial

I have never been someone that is in to beauty/skincare but for the last year, one of my best friends has really gotten into trying new makeup, skincare, hair products, etc and so naturally I have followed suit. For my birthday, my sister got me three months of a trial box collection called Birchbox. To be frank, when the first box came in I was not impressed. The first box came with a Lara bar, natural cleansing hand wipes, a Stila lip/cheek stain and Porefessional by Benefit. I called my sister, laughing it up because it was all sample sizes and we didn't know what we had gotten into.

Fast forward a month.

I receive Birchbox Numero 2.

And it hits me, why don't I just try the products? Have a little fun, ya know. (Both of my older sisters moved away when I was 15, so I kind of missed out on girly stuff). Annd... then I fall in love. I decided to try my products out.

Second Birchbox





  • Porefessional (MY FAVORITE, reduces appearance of pores/works as a primer)
  • boscia cleansing wash: The most simple face wash routine I have discovered/smells great
  • Color Club Birchbox Custom Polish: my thought is "PLEASE PLEASE DON'T BE A LIMITED EDITION. It is a charcoal grey with a hint of green when it is dry. So cute. 
  • kate spade new york twirl perfume: I actually havent tried this yet because I have been wearing Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck
  • twisband hair tie in pink: really cute, didn't like the pink because I simply don't like pink.
If you are wondering about the Birchbox/interested--TRY IT. At least purchase a trial period. I will probably keep going with it because I love discovering new products to try.
