April Birch Box


This month's birch box was in collaboration with Women's Health. 

Included with the products was a subscription offer for the magazine at a reduced price.  


 The products in this month's box were great. There were several items that seemed almost full sized.



This cream has a 35 SPF, so I haven't used it yet. I'm saving it for sunnier days. It seems like a pretty good product to keep in your bag for the day.


This revitalizing eye roll on was FANTASTIC. It wasn't included on the list of products in the box, it was a bonus. You roll it under your eyes for a refreshed look in the morning.
I've been putting it on before my makeup when I dry my hair. 
It's so great. It really does reduce the swelling and makes your eyes feel fresh!
It's also a great size.


This foot repair salve is a good product also. It has a great, soothing scent and is wonderful for your skin. I haven't put it on before bed, but I have used it a couple of times and love it.


This oil can be used for hair, skin, and nails. It's okay, but it's probably my least favorite product in the box. I just don't see much use for it.


This leave-in conditioning foam is great as well. The bottle is huge and will definitely last a while. I've been using it in place of my usual conditioner and it's better. It gives my hair shine.

I'm pretty pleased with this month's birch box. You can sign up for $10 a month here.

Atlanta Getaway

I went to Atlanta this week for a quick little getaway. It was just what I needed before finals week. I visited my mother-in-law and traveled with the husband's grandma. She's pretty awesome. So here's a recap.

I had to throw in a quick WIW picture on our travel day. Loving the bright spring colors I can finally wear!



We stopped at a restaurant called "The Depot" in Georgia. It's built on the railroad tracks so you can watch the trains come and go while you eat. Pretty cool.



We went to this cafe for lunch and the dessert selection was ridiculous. I may or may not have indulged. Just sayin'.


Tuesday, I brought the red and white out so I could pose as a Braves fan. Really, I was sporting the Cincinnati Reds color, but I felt like a good poser.

I have no idea who these people are, but they make for a good picture with all of their braves attire.
This is the Varsity, a really cool restaurant in downtown Atlanta.




Mine and Husband's food. Greasy Deliciousness. 





The braves game was awesome. They scored three back to back home runs and won the game! 

I hope you had a great week too :)

Linking up with lauren for high five for friday!
