Patience
Hey,
You were in such a bad mood today, you really probably could have strangled someone. Luckily, you avoided possible jail time by practicing that little virtue called patience. Proud of you.

Awareness
Hey,
Someone was a bit of a jerk to you today. At first, you were mad because he doesn't know you or anything about you. Who was he to make a snap judgment about you? But, then you realized that you don't know him or anything about him either. Be glad that you have the awareness to recognize that everyone has a back story that makes them the way they are.

Stress
Hey,
I know today was slightly stressful, but you handled it as best as you could. Tomorrow's another day, and it will be better.
You are enough.

Unmemorable
Hey,
Sunday, August 18, 2013
We are enough.
Anybody who really knows me knows that I struggle with anxiety from time to time. I'm constantly feeling less than perfect. I know perfection isn't possible, but I'm my own harshest critic. And, I know that I'm not alone.
We all go through things that make us feel knocked down a peg or two. So every week day, I'm going to post about a situation that really just sucked and remind myself (and whoever is reading) that we are enough.
I'm so excited about this project. Not only will it be a great reminder for myself, but I hope to put some positivity out into the universe. Create a little good karma, if you will. However, it's also scary to make myself so vulnerable. I just hope I can help others work through these struggles as I try to help myself. Join me, won't you? :)

Birchbox: August 2013
Man oh man, have I been in need of a pick-me-up. So, I was pumped to get my Birchbox in the mail today! Birchbox is a subscription service that sends out beauty and lifestyle samples once a month. It's super fun, and only $10.00 a month! If you're interested in subscribing, click here. Some people wonder if it's actually worth $10.00 a month, and honestly, some months are better than others. Luckily, you'll see below that, for me, this month is a great one!
For August, Birchbox collaborated with Ann Taylor to provide products and accessory inspiration to go along with the theme "Finishing School".
derma e Hyaluronic Hydrating Mist: "This all-natural anti-aging mist restores skin with green tea, vitamin C, and aloe. Spritz face to refresh skin antime, or use in the morning to set your already-applied makeup." The full size is $13.50, and I did receive a full size product!
Holy smokes, the first product has already paid for the monetary value of the box! And then some! I like the idea of a setting/refreshing mist. My only hope is that this isn't too "refreshing" for my oily skin.
EVOLVh Ultrashine Moisture Conditioner- "Made from 20 different herbs, this nourishing formula delivers silky, obedient strands." Full size, $25.00, sample size $5.88.
I'm so glad to be able to sample a conditioner NOT in the form of a single-use foil packet. This way, I can actually test it over a period of time. And y'all, considering how GOOD this stuff smells.... I already know I'll be sad when it's empty.
Whish Exfoliating Body Wash- "A coconut-rich scrub that brightens and exfoliates with sugar cane and bamboo powder. A great way to prep skin for self tanner." Full size, $22.00, sample size $2.75.
Another really good-smelling product! Good timing, too, since I'm about to run out of my current Aveeno exfoliating body wash.
Beauty Extra: Whish Hair Inhibiting Deodorant Swipes- "From the shaving pros at Whish, these wipes tackle odor and slow hair growth in one swipe." Full size $16.00, and I'm just going to assume this sample is $1.00.
Who in the world thought of this product? Don't get me wrong, it's kind of genius--just really random. I only received one of these, so I don't know how it smells since I haven't used it yet. Definitely interesting concept.
stila stay all day liquid lipstick- "Longlasting liquid lipstick in a wearable red that glides on like a gloss but stays put like a stain." Full size, $22.00, sample size $6.60.
I don't know how they can describe this shade, "Beso", as wearable...it's actually pretty bold. I generally love stila as a brand, and I'm excited to get to test this product out. But honestly, I wish I'd received a more wearable color. I don't have many occasions to rock a bold red lip.
Birchbox also threw in an Ann Taylor accessory guide, along with a coupon code for anntaylor.com! For 20% off 1 item or 30% off 2 items, simply use the code "BIRCHBOX". You're welcome! :)
I know there were 60-something box combinations this month, but I'm officially deeming my Birchbox to be awesome. Not only are the sample sizes huge and the products interesting/exciting, but the box's approximate total value of $29.73 far exceeds the $10.00 price tag. If you haven't looked into Birchbox yet, I highly recommend it.
By the way, an idea hit me today for a new blog series. I may write more about this over the weekend, but I'm still playing around with it in my head for now. Could be exciting. :)

Guns Hidden Under our Petticoats
Does anybody know what a panic attack feels like? I think I might have had one today. I did pilates to try to calm myself down, and that worked, but I still have a massive headache an hour later. Also, my body is trying to develop a cold, so there's a lot of sinus pressure going on that Sudafed doesn't seem to be helping.
One reason for the panic attack is that one year ago today, this world lost the man who was like my second father. While I've thought of him and wept on countless occasions in the past year, today hit me like a ton of bricks. We all miss you so much, Mr. Randy. And, I need to stop typing before the tears start rolling again.
We think Eno the cat has a UTI, so we'll be taking him to the vet in the morning. The fun never stops.
Does anybody else ever question their purpose in life, or is that just me?
A few days ago, I stumbled across a new band that I really like so far: The 1975. Check out the video for their song "Chocolate" below.
