Birchbox Canada - June 2015 Review

Birchbox Canada - June 2015

Birchbox Canada - June 2015

Sometimes, good things just aren't meant to last. And sometimes, good things come to those who wait. And sometimes, neither of these cliches are true and you're just stuck justifying something that was never good in the first place.

Before I even received this box, I had already set it in my mind to cancel my subscription. So this was going to be my final Birchbox Canada box, for all those reasons above and more. The box may say 'Say yes', but everything inside me wants to say no. But will trying this month's contents make me change my mind?

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Birthday Canada & Happy Canada Day! 

To celebrate, I've rounded up some of my favourite reds in my polish collection into a TOTALLY accurate likeness of a maple leaf. I've got some true bright reds, some darker reds and some glitter. Everything that screams CANADIAN.

My goal for May 2015 was to finish as many foil packets and samples as possible, and I think I did a really good job! Here's all the stuff I tried, loved and ditched in May.

I've had my eye on the Ipsy subscription for quite awhile. It seems that over the last few years I've had pretty much every subscription under the sun. I've done Luxebox, Topbox, Beauty Box 5, Julep, Birchbox and NOW, FINALLY, it's time for Ipsy! What did I think of my first Glam Bag?

Looks like it's time for my monthly makeup! This time last year I was only two weeks post-eye surgery so I couldn't wear makeup at all and then all of ~ this ~ happened. I was going through my vanity recently, not that I've had to desire to wear stuf
Looks like it's time for my monthly makeup! This time last year I was only two weeks post-eye surgery so I couldn't wear makeup at all and then all of ~ this ~ happened. I was going through my vanity recently, not that I've had to desire to wear stuff again, and discovered that SO many of my products had gone bad, and, of them, how many were things I had barely touched. I'm not heading to MINIMALISM or anything, but it has been a bit cathartic to throw out things and really take stock of things, whether it's makeup, or just anything else in life. The one thing I feel grateful for in the last time is more of this time to figure out what *I* actually want, even if it's not what I expected one year ago.
Took a half day yesterday and ended up at the lake. It wasn't too cold, but the skyline looked amazing. I'm still pretty sad these days, not gonna lie, but it felt nice to do something outside and I hope this weather sticks around so I can experience

Today was a holiday, it meant I didn't need to go to work, but when work is just a desk in your living room two feet from your couch, it still feels like you're always at work and never at work, and always waiting until you just turn the laptop back
Today was a holiday, it meant I didn't need to go to work, but when work is just a desk in your living room two feet from your couch, it still feels like you're always at work and never at work, and always waiting until you just turn the laptop back on. Days have no real meaning, time has no meaning, the monotony is just what it is now. Today wasn't a good day. I didn't have to do anything and I couldn't really do anything. Stuff felt pointless, hobbies felt pointless. Everything felt hard and yet I still had to force myself through it. Here's to basically just muddling through. Because we're all gonna have these days and to pretend you don't isn't helping anyone, even yourself.
To celebrate our 14th anniversary, @thecjm and I made the best of it and ordered the set course from @alobaryorkville including some amazing scallops, a duck confit, amazing milk bread & a truly decadent millefeuille, streamed their Spotify playl
To celebrate our 14th anniversary, @thecjm and I made the best of it and ordered the set course from @alobaryorkville including some amazing scallops, a duck confit, amazing milk bread & a truly decadent millefeuille, streamed their Spotify playlist, made some cocktails & had a good night in. I even threw on a dress and tights so at least I partially felt like we were really going out! ♥️ Not our most exciting anniversary, but definitely in the top ten 😉.
First pic on the grid in 2021 is a makeup free, eye bag visible, sunshine selfie and I'm not mad about it. The last few weeks have been rough, but so have the last two months of lockdown in Toronto and hell, the last ten months in general. But it is

But it is still nice to see some sunshine, even if it's bouncing off of 1 Bloor East & blasting me in the face as I try to read! 😂☀️
