Review : Birchbox #3

I'm not completely sure what I feel about this months birchbox, and I guess that's why I've waited a little on doing this post. I've had it for a little over a week and its my least favorite from the three I've gotten which isn't necessarily a bad this I just like what I got in previous boxes better! So that's all I really feel about this months box so I'll go right ahead and show you what I got: 

BVLGARI Mon Jasmin Noir 

I got a small 8 ml sample size, I'd describe it as rich, crisp, and floral.

Full size: 80 ml for $80.00 

Tocca SPF 30+ Sunscreen Towelettes in Stella

I got two individually wrapped towelettes, they are both quite big!

 Full size: 10 Towelettes for $24.00

Pangea Organics Cleanser for Oily to Combination Skin

I got a 1 fl oz sized tube, really nice!

Full size: 4 fl oz for $28.00

Number 4 Lumiere d'hiver Reconstructing Masque & Number 4 Fleurs de Temps Volumizing Shampoo [Which came as a bonus with the Masque in a pretty small size]

I got 1.5 oz of the Masque, a great size there's a lot in the bottle, and .25 fl oz of the shampoo.

Full size: Masque [5.1 oz for $ 58.00] Shampoo [8.5 fl oz for $34.00]

EXTRA this month: 

Twistband Hair Ties

I got one hair tie in black, which I really liked!

Full size: Comes in sets of threes in various colors for $5.00

This month even though I didn't love all the products my money was well spent cause if you do the math all these products together in the sizes I got are worth well over $20.00 when I just spent $10.00! So the only reason I was disappointed was that I really want more makeup and less hair and skin care products, but its okay. 

Well that's that, leave me a comment and let me know what you think and post ideas, or requests are always welcome!

Back To School : Back Pack/ Locker Essentials

So This Is A List Of Must Haves On Your First Day Or Your First Week Of High School, Or Maybe In Some Cases Middle School. This Is A List I Swear By, I Just Wish I'd Been So Organized The Beginning Of My Freshmen Year, And Later On In The Year But I'm All Prepped And Ready For This Year For Sure! This Isn't Really In Any Particular Order Just By What Came Off The Top Of My Head.

□ Back Pack - For obvious reasons not having a back is not an option!
□ Binder - You'll notice I don't have notebooks on this list and that's because I learned the beginning of my freshmen year that, notebooks were such a hassle! So what I do is have one 2 or 2 and a half inch binder with dividers for each period I organize it by the order my classes are in through out the day, and for each class I just slip in the things I have during that day and so on so its all organized by date most recent on top. Oh and for my notes and things I'd need a notebook for I use loose leaf paper!
□ Student Planner - Very Important to stay organized! Some schools provide you with planners mine does but I've always found my own personal planner that isn't the exact same as everyone else helps me better!
□ Pencil Pouch - Never keep pens and pencils and all stray in you back back wastes so much time finding, so get a super cute pencil pouch you love to show off!
□ Makeup Pouch - So explainable! In high School every girl at least wears eyeliner or lip gloss or both. And leaving your lip glosses or eye pencils stray in your back pack can lead to problems, it can become a mess and hard to find!
□ Safety Pins - You never know when you might need them, seriously!
□ Calculator - Do I have to explain? Obviously a must have for math!
□ Pens - Some teachers require pens over pencils, specially in honors and AP classes!
□ Mechanical Pencils - I personally HATE wooden pencils your always needing to sharpen them if the tip breaks, so these are a must!
□ Mechanical Pencil Lead - Always good to have back up!
□ Thin Post It Notes - Very good for marking certain pages in textbooks, or in your notes. These help a lot!
□ Dividers - For your binder, I suggest getting plain ones with colorful tabs so you can decorate them yourself
□ iPod - I always need my music before and after School. I never leave home with out it and even if I do I always regret it later!
□ Cell Phone - For obvious reasons! Though make sure their turned off or silent I've gotten in trouble for it before its not pretty.
□ Composition Notebook - For and quick notes you need to write down (not really study/class notes) and you don't have time to pull our paper from your binder. I love getting the colorful,cute patterned ones!
□ Sharpies - You will always find a need for them maybe not everyday but someday!
□ Gum - I know that in my school gum is allowed in most classes with laid back teachers and even if not for chewing in class, you should have a minty pack in your backpack just in case.
□ Locker Bin - For your locker to keep all your extras! Good way to keep your locker organized
□ USB Drive (3GB+) - Its important to keep all documented to you need to print out on a flash drive that's always with you, you never know when you might need to run to the library and print something out.
□ Index Cards - Optional, some people need them some people don't I myself try to keep them, but sometimes I can't.
□ Index Card Case - To keep all your cards organized, I know that one year when I didn't my backpack was a MESS!
□ Loose Leaf Paper - For your binders, these are so important for me just last year I went through at least six packs, their not really expensive though just about a $1.00 each.
□ Scotch Tape - Good to keep in your locker you never know when it may come in handy
□ Scissors - Same as the tape!
□ Color Pencils - Again you never know, I know last year I used them in World studies to mark maps, it was mandatory!
□ Thin Markers - You never know when they may come in use!
□ Breath Mint - For those moments where your wondering if that tuna salad was a good idea or not.
□ Extra Lip Gloss - For your locker just in case, have one for your locker that stays there and one for your pouch that's in your backpack that you change up.
□ Extra Chap Stick - For you locker again, keep two one for your locker and one for your pouch
□ Extra Waterproof Mascara - Same as above
□ Locker Mirror - A must you have no idea how much they come in use.
□ Pads/Tampons - Just in case, better safe then sorry, have a bunch in your locker and at least one of either in your back pack
□ Deodorant/Body Spray - Another must for your locker, I always kept my Bath And Bodyworks Midnight Pomegranate fragrance mist in my locker, my absolute Favorite!
□ Lotion - Again a medium/large size for your lock and a mini for you pouch, specially in the winter my hands tend to get really dry! 
□ Bobby Pins/ Hair Ties - Great to keep again in your pouch and locker
□ Magnets - For you locker, optional I love them for hanging pictures though.
□ Pencil Holder - For your locker, always good to have a few extras just in case.
□ Hair Brush - Great to keep in your lockers you never know when you need them
□ Hand Sanitizer - A small one for for your backpack is absolutely necessary!
□ Extra Water Bottle - A MUST to keep with you at all times!
□ Extra Money For Emergencies - Great to keep in your lockers and not so much as your wallet so your not tempted to spend it, just keep it for emergencies.
