What's in my March 2013 Birchbox

This month's theme is March Madness. Apparently they're hosting beauty face-offs on their Facebook page, which is how things tie in with the theme. The info card also says, "This box is filled with products that make the cut - from up-and-coming rookies to veteran all-stars."

Schick Hydro Silk Razor Review


This post brought to you by Schick Hydro Silk Razor for BzzAgent. Even though I received a sample for free, all opinions are 100% my own.

I am really by no means loyal to any one razor, so I typically get to try quite a few over the course of time. I buy what's on sale. I buy what I have a coupon for. I buy what looks pretty in the package. I buy what I've heard about recently from friends, reviews, etc. Point is, I buy my razors usually on a whim based on any of the before mentioned criteria.

You may remember that way back in December I reviewed another, in my opinion similar, razor. You may want to read that post if you haven't because I'll probably be comparing the two.

elf Shop & Tell - February 2013

Last week elf was having a sale where if you bought $20 worth of products and entered a code, you would also receive a "mystery bag" full of $20+ worth of products. There were a few things I'd been wanting to get and a few I was curious about so I figured what the heck. The picture above is of what I purchased for $20.

If you would like to see a full review of anything specific, please don't hesitate to ask!

CLR Bath & Kitchen Cleaner to the Rescue!

This post brought to you by CLR. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s no secret that my house is not always in tip-top shape, especially the kitchen and bathroom. In fact, the bathroom is probably my least favorite room to clean. Not only is there just a general dirtiness from the fact that people use it multiple times a day, but then you’ve got all the gross smells and random stains, rust and mildew.

Disgusting!

That’s where CLR Bath & Kitchen Cleaner comes in!

A Mini Life Update - aka My Trip to the Doctor

I'll just keep this short and sweet. I went to the ob/gyn this week for my annual checkup and we talked about getting me scheduled for a hysterosalpingogram (HSG). I'm supposed to call them in the next couple of weeks to schedule it. Then we'll know if my left (only remaining) tube is ok or not. After that we can decide which direction to go in. The good news is that my current health insurance covers part of IVF if that is needs to be an option.

Due to having started a new job in December, I'll need to have worked there for at least a year before being eligible for FMLA so that will have to be a consideration regardless of the outcome.

I'm not sure how much of this process - whatever it turns into - I'll be blogging about. I'll figure that out as the journey continues.

Also, I'm not quite sure how to label/tag these posts. I haven't yet been diagnosed with infertility so I don't feel that's appropriate. Thoughts?
