*ßirchbox*

There is a little secret that I would like to share to my audience today. I have joined a mailing list and it's not just any kind of mailing list. It is a mailing list full of surprises every month for the beauty inspired girl. If you are into trying new things and wanting to know the latest products on the market, Birchbox is for you. They cater to every kind of woman; in fact when you join, you will fill out a survey about your lifestyle, skin and hair types. You control the kind of products they send to you without knowing exactly what is to come every month. I am the kind of person that LOVES mail and presents. Receiving this little $10 box in the mail every month always puts a smile on my face and an anticipation of what goodies I am going to receive next. You sign up at Birchbox.com and $10 is automatically drafted out of your account every month and they automatically ship it to your home. I have enjoyed every product I have received in the two months I have joined. I do not have the time to research new products or to go to stores and try new things, so this is perfect. Included in the box are your products beautifully wrapped in pink paper along with ribbon and post card telling you about each product, size, price and how to use it. A few more perks: if you like the product you can purchase it on their website, you can send as a gift to a friend, free shipping, and you can earn points that will go towards discounted purchases. I promise I do not work for the company and by no means getting paid by promoting them or anything, I only wish I had thought of this idea sooner! ha Go get yourself on the mailing list and we can share our goodies with each other! If you are already receiving them, let me know what you are getting and how you like it! 
HAPPY HUMP DAY! 
This is what it looks like in the mail

Roads


I saw this picture tonight and thought about the quote on the chalkboard. Written in 1915, by Robert Frost, this poem still has the same meaning today as it did almost 100 years ago. Life is a comical tragedy, periods in time where the feelings felt will never be the same as in that moment. And all we can do is feel those feelings, make our decisions and hope for the best; because it sure beats having no feelings at all.  What does this poem mean for you?
 *Goodnight*

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost

FALL < WINTER

Well, November is here and although most people would like to wait until after Thanksgiving to begin the Christmas decorating, I am having a hard time containing myself. I LOVE Christmas music, decorations, traffic, weather, etc. There is just something about that time of year that makes me feel like nothing could go wrong or put me in a bad mood. I am sure my over excitement for Christmas time is annoying to the many Grinch's out there but I'm not holding back! I am contemplating when to put my decorations up. My extent of Fall decorations is a wreath and pumpkins. Not much! I have way more Christmas stuff and considering I may be home the whole month of December, I need to be able to enjoy them as much as I can! I am not sure if I will be getting a tree, most likely not but I can at least have all of my other little trinkets out. When do you think is the right time to put out Christmas decorations? Do you think before Thanksgiving is too early? Let me know what you all think! Have a fantabulous week! I'm leaving you with pictures of my sparse fall/halloween decor! :)

Women: 1 Men: 0

As it should be...
Me: Babe, I think she (Coco) is thirsty! You didn't give her any water with her food!
Mark: Women... always wanting something....
Me: It is a man's world...
Mark: Pshhh...yeah... we get to cater to women the whole time
Me: HAHA... yeah. you are right.

I was watching E News and Robert Pattinson was talking about Breaking Dawn and the wedding scene. He had the perfect view of a man's role in a wedding!

11-1-11

Today is, I suppose, a sort of memorable day considering it is 11-1-11 and it will never be that day for another thousand years. Although, I guess you could think of every day with that point of view! ha well I though that it was pretty cool to see all of those 1's together since I usually wish on 11:11. How are all my followers doing?! Well I am trying to get into the mood to study. I found out I made a 94 on my Micro midterm and a 96 on my AnP Lab midterm and I have absolutely no concentration to study. I have a Micro test tomorrow and an AnP test on Thursday and I have been so distracted! Thats what happens when I go home and see all of my friends! It takes a week for me to get refocused again! ha I think a lot of is has to do with working so hard last week on those tests and doing so well, I am just burnt out! I need a long vaca in the mountains with all the pretty Christmas lights! :) I have not even listened to Christmas music... which is my favorite... because I am afraid I am going to get way too excited about the month long break I get! ha 
I went home this weekend for Halloween and had so much fun seeing my friends and family. I was Dorothy on Friday night and a Sailor on Saturday night. It has been a long time since I have done 2 nights like that and lets just say that I was exhausted by Sunday! I hope you all had a Happy Halloween and have a great rest of the week. I'm leaving you with a picture of my pretty princess all dressed up for trick or treating! :) *Goodnight*

Listening to: All I Want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey I broke my own rule and just listened to it and now I am pumped to study :)

Good Wednesday

Sooooo I had a really awesome day today and let me tell you, those have been few and far between lately. Things have not been so great in barner town BUT I am not going back there... I am sending off ONLY positive energy and welcoming positive energy! I found out a spot came open in the Mammalian Physiology class that I needed... Praise the Lord. I also received a FREE tan from Palm Beach Tan right after I found out there was one here and was planning on going tomorrow... Praise the Lord. I have become quite pastey and need some color before I put on my halloween outfit! Speaking of Halloween... I am uber excited about this weekend! I have not been home to see any of my family or friends since this semester has begun. I cannot even contain how happy I am to finally get some social interaction and go out. I am hoping, however, that the weather does not get any cooler or we will definitely be freezing! Cassie called me today and asked if I wanted to work over Thanksgiving and Christmas break at Schaeffer. I can honestly say that the thought of me going back to work is so exciting! I feel like a hermit down here and like I have lost all capability of interaction with strangers. I miss working with the public! I miss talking to strangers! I miss helping people I do not know and trying to work out their problems or complaints! ok ok ok I know you think I am going clinicaly insane but its true. I really think that as a student (since I have been on both sides now) you can get so bogged down by school work and trying to get in a professional study that you forget what it's all about. For some people they don't know what it is about until they get out of professional school and hate it but I have worked in the public and it's what I love. I loved helping people every day, even if it's just to put a smile on their face. This is why I chose the direction I am going, because I wanted to be able to consult and guide patients on a professional level. Ok, now that you have heard a portion of my personal statement for Pharmacy school, I'll spare you the rest. :) In a sum, I love people, I love God, I love serving people and I love serving God. Forgive my over enthusiasm but if you only knew how down I have been you would be happy that Optomistic Sarah is back. I hope that you are all having a fabulous Hump Day and if you have been having one bad day after another like I had lately, I promise at some point it can only go up and it will. That is hope enough to wake up with a smile and expect today will be the day it all turns around! I'm off to studying for my two tests next week! Check out the song below that I am listening to. I heard it for the first time today and it will instantly put you in a good mood! *Goodnight*

When Will The Bells Ring For Me - Tony Bennett
I wonder when do the bells ring for me
When someone tugs a heartstring for me?
When does it come my time?
When does the poem rhyme?
When do the songs they sing, sing for me?
To those who say "Hey, wake up and feel life"
I say "I'm ready, just show me the way"
Show me those arms that say "Welcome to real life"
And we'll stay, we'll stay
How many parties more can I run to?
How many little loves can there be
Before it's all a bore?
Forget it, I want more
I want someone who wants more of me
Like making promises good in the daylight
The thing is here am I, where is she?
When is it my chance?
When is it my dance?
When do the bells ring for me?
