Blah blah

So I updated my blog and picked out a new background. Half the time it doesn't even show up. Lame. 

I'm sick. I feel like death. It like came out of nowhere and just keeps getting worse. Cough, sore throat, achy body, nasal congestion, fever, headache.... Blah. Whatever is going around needs to stop. It's like the worse cold/flu/virus season.
I went to the doctor at urgent care- worst doctor! The nurses came in and did a ton of tests and talked so fast I didn't even understand. I waited awhile, then he quickly comes in and hardly spends any time with me. In and out. He quickly ran through the symptoms and then said he would be back. Never introduced himself, never acted like he cared. Then he poked his head in and said nope no strep throat or flu. (This is after I could hear him asking the nurses how to read the test). Then when he poked his head in he goes 'Is that a needle on the floor?' What?! He still gave me some medicine, so hopefully it works. I just don't get it. What's wrong with this doctor?  

I'm moving back to Utah next month. It's sneaking up quick on me. I haven't nearly done everything to be ready. I can't find a place to live that's in downtown Salt Lake. All of them are shared rooms. I'm not a sharer. I need my privacy. Besides its like $380 for a shared room. That's crazy! I can get a studio apt for $400. Jeez. So anyone have suggestions, let me know. Also, school is taking forever to get things together. I've faxed them all these papers and emailed information- they still haven't gotten back to me. I still can't even register for classes. Ridiculous. I'm getting impatient. I'm also looking for a job. Preferably in banking. Everything will come together soon I'm sure. So all you people in utah get excited that I'm coming back! 

I'm teaching the young women on Sunday. Yikes! I don't like teaching. Hopefully the young beehives will get something from it. I'm trying to think of a little activity or something they can do. The lesson is on how the atonement can help in you during trials. 

Easter is soon. And then it's General Conference! I love conference! Interested in watching?  It's Saturday, April 6th and Sunday, April 7th  at 12pm and 4pm EST.

Birchbox Wa-BAM

Let's pretend I haven't missed so much on my birchbox updates. Ha. Recap
November-March. Yikes. Sorry loves!

November:
  • Miracle Skin Transformer Vanish Corrector - Helps get rid of skin flaw, ie wrinkles, dark spots, etc. Maybe I just don't really think about wrinkles and skin flaws right now. So I didn't really like it.
  • Chuao Chocolatier - Who doesn't love chocolates?! Seven different flavors to try. potato chip, maple bacon, sweet and salty, honeycomb, salted chocolate crunch, spicy maya, and firecracker. I loved the variety! I really enjoyed the potato chip and salted chocolate crunch. These make excellent little extras for a gift. You can buy the full sized bars at a few different places.
  • Oscar Blandi Texture and Volume Spray- You know me, I don't really like sprays or putting things in my hair. So I haven't tried it yet. ha.
  • Atelier Rose Perfume- I love rose smells! This actually smells like a bunch of fresh roses. Love! Some reviewers said it smells musky. Eh, I don't really agree.
  • Stila Shimmer- I like the concept. Add an extra glow for a fun night out. However, I haven't had a reason to put it on yet. Ha. I'm not the type to add it to my normal make-up. 

December:
  •  Juicy Couture- I do enjoy Juicy Couture perfume, but I have received so many that they are all blending together and I can't remember which ones I like and don't like. I'll have to line them up and smell them one by one. It's juicy! ha.
  • Hot Mama Shadow and Blush- I loved the case! So cute! The name is cute too. I didn't even think about it being an eye shadow and blush. Didn't phase me that I could use it for both. It's a little too bright for me. My skin is so fair, I need a lighter, more natural color.
  • Lip Butter- I love lip butter. It smells/taste good and seems to work well. The only difficult thing is the container. Such a hassle to try and get it out. I usually just use it before bed.
  • Clarifying Shampoo- Yay shampoo!...not. i hate getting shampoo in my box. Ha. I think I tried it, but eh average.
  • Nail Filer- I'm not really picky about nail filers. I hate flimsy ones, so this was a nice little birchbox extra. 
January:
  •  Ojon Hair Serum- I haven't figured out the whole hair serum thing. For having really thin hair, it makes it so oily! 
  • Nail Polish- Love trying new nail polishes! I received the pretty blue lagoon. Not much to add then that. Ha
  • Put a lid on it- This is like a primer before putting on eye shadow. It helps the shadow stay on. I rarely wear eye shadow, but this will definitely help make it stay. Mine always ends up coming off by the end of the day/night.
  • Harvey Prince Perfume- I remember liking this perfume. It stuck with me. It was more fresh smelling (which is more my taste). I just read on the site that it helps ease cravings. Huh, very interesting!
  • Youth Preserve Face Cream- Youth preserve?! Yippee...throw in the drawer. I use face cream but this was another blah item in my box.
February:
  •  Ghirardelli Caramel Chocolate Squares- Just a little something sweet in the box. Boo Caramel though. Ha
  • Twistband Headband - These hair ties are the new things! I LOVE them! For someone who really likes headbands, these are awesome! No dent and it doesn't hurt your head. I just wish they weren't so expensive.
  • Juicy Couture Couture La la- More juicy perfume!
  • Flexible Hairspray- I haven't tried it yet. I do wonder if it works though.
  • Secret Agent Beauty Lip Affair- This is such a fun summery lip plumper! It tastes like coconut, sunshine, and beach. Fabulous! Plus, I love plumper! It has a nice color too. I wouldn't wear it all the time, but for the summer it's perfect.
March: 
  •  Shave Crave Shaving Cream- It's a blueberry smell! I would have really liked to try the pomegranate. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm up for trying shaving cream, especially if it smells yummy. 
  •  Dry Shampoo- Haven't tried it yet. It's a dry shampoo spray!
  • Nail Filer- Pretty sturdy and I like the design on it.
  • Caldrea Body Lotion- I liked that I got not just one sample but three! Now I can try all the different kinds.
  • Nail Polish Appliques- I love these! I bought a few different brands from stores. These are nice when I don't have time or don't want to actually paint my nails. It's like lasting sticker polish for your nails!
You know I just realized after typing all this. I have been slacking on trying all these products. Can you blame me? Some I get and think, ugh (throw in the birchbox drawer). I do go back and choose products randomly to try, but sometimes it takes me a while. Ha.
