I finally succumbed to the lure of Birchbox and got my first one today.

If you’re unfamiliar with Birchbox, it’s basically a service where they send you about 5 samples of beauty products per month so you can try different things. It’s $10 per month, and it’s like opening up a present!
In my April box, I got the following:
Viva La Juicy perfume sample
Show Stoppers double sided skin tape
Color Club nail polish in Age of Aquarius
A box of Befine skin care samples: brown sugar, sweet almond and oats scrub and moisturizer
June Jacobs Perfect Pumpkin Enzyme Polish

Fun! I look forward to trying out the products.
Also in the mail today is my new Healthy is the New Skinny shirt. I had one of their old white ones, and wanted to get the new one which is in a heather gray color and is more of a fashion tee versus a white cotton tee:

Hi there! I’m Emily, aka Skinny Emmie, a thirty-two year old weight loss blogger, fashion lover, social media marketer, and writer. I’m on the journey from 455 pounds to healthy.
