For those of you who aren't familiar with Birchbox, it's a monthly box that arrives to your door with 'high end cosmetics' samples. I wanted to get one for Ali and Anne (both new Moms). A friend told me about it and I signed up. Unfortunately, there is a wait list to get 'invited'. After waiting a month I asked my friend (Tammy--who's aware of everything cool in life) if she would use her magic powers to sign Anne and Ali up. She had no idea there was a wait and told me she felt proud as a prom queen that she could do that!
A week later an email arrived that explained I had made the cut. I had 72 hours to order my boxes, then after that I was scratched from the list. Talk about feeling like Cinderella approaching midnight. I decided to send one for Moi!
So that's the story of how I received my Birchbox. Now here's the reason Birchbox works. In my box was a sample of a lotion to make my eyelashes longer, darker, and thicker; lip stain; Japanese hand cream (could have been Crisco tinted yellow); 2 natural hand sanitizer wipes; Juicy Cologne and a granola bar. I tried every sample and ate the granola bar. That granola bar was so tasty I stopped by Target and bought 5 more. (the samples were Apple Turnover flavor, but since it was noon and I was hungry I picked up a Bananas Foster one also!
I'm really excited about next month's Birchbox I hope they throw in some more tasty treats. Maybe I should start a tasty treat box subscription. Yum Box here I come!
