I don’t know what it is, but I am a little weird on buying things. I will spend 15 bucks on a salad, but 15 for mascara or shampoo? No way.

I will only buy things that are drastically on sale and I usually find ways to barter for the things I need. I just found someone who will cut my hair in exchange for helping her develop her website.

I think this is actually a good quality, but every once in a while it is a bit of a downer.

Well the perfect remedy is not a pill. It’s a box. A box filled with samples and full size surprises of cosmetics, lotions and potions.

10 dollars a month. Cheaper than my organic salad and much more fun.

It is called Birchbox. It is a monthly subscription. Last month I got a FULL SIZE Essie nail polish in this amazing grey color that I would have NEVER bought for myself. A month supply of a great anti-aging lotion, a lip gloss and a few other goodies.

This month is was a full-size mascara that is fabulous, a perfume, hair powder, a lip balm, a body oil and a gift certificate for 15$ off custom made shoes.

Getting just one full size product a month to try and these little samples is perfect for me. The price can’t be beat and I really feel like I am actually getting more than I am paying for. (bargain shopper satisfaction)

Go sign up for your monthly box. It will not disappoint. You will go on a little bit of a waiting list in order to start. It takes about 4 weeks to finally get your box after you have ordered it, but when you see it in your mailbox your heart will skip a beat.
