According to their site, attendees can enjoy:

This event sounds similar to their NamasDay, a free yoga event w/ free yoga classes and mini treatments/goodie bags. If this event has awesome goodie bags as they had for NamasDay, I'm so there!

Physicians Formula NEW OrganicWear Fakeout Mascara- try for free!

During a recent trip to the drugstore, I saw that Physicians Formula has come out with a new mascara- in bright PINK packaging! Called the Organic wear^® 100% Natural Origin FakeOut™ Mascara, I found this FakeOut mascara to be even better to their original Organic wear^®100% Natural Origin Mascara.I got full, beautiful lashes and they seem to stand out even more. Its over-sized brush deifnitely helps make application of the mascara easier. 

Also in select drugstores, they're having a rebate with its "TRY ME FREE" label on specially marked products. Get rebate here.

March KlutchClub + Fitness Magazine

I discovered KlutchClub last year, a monthly subscription box focused on fitness and healthy items. I instantly fell in love with all their products and offerings (plus, they were offering Kristin McGee's Power Yoga DVD!) This month, their Women's box looked especially appealing. They have
Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist &  Nature’s Gate 40th Anniversary Herbal Body Wash! (however, you will only receive ONE- not BOTH.) I would've loved to see them offer both products though or at least have the option to choose.

The March box includes:
 * Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist OR Nature’s Gate 40th Anniversary Herbal Body Wash
* Green & Black’s Organic Chocolate
* Crystal Essence Towelettes or Travel Stick
* Corozonas Oatmeal Square
* CocoaVia Daily Cocoa Extract Supplement  
* Lumosity Gift Card
* SkinnyPop Popcorn 100 Calorie Bag
* Aligned Signs 1 Month Membership Gift Card
* Lacote USA Guam Beauty Mud
* Davidson’s Organics Green Tea Variety Pack

Also, included with your membership of $20+ (which is either a 3-month or 12-month), you get a free subscription of Fitness Magazine. (more info here.)

Over the Holidays, Influenster.com sent select members their #HolidayVoxBox full of goodies. It's similar to their other VoxBox's; they include 5-6 products from brands I know and I love! It felt like such a nice gift especially for the holidays so thank you Influenster!

January Birchbox

My January Birchbox arrived mid-month and with my new 2013 attitude, I sampled everything right away! I took a spritz of SkinnyChic which smelled lovely. I also swiped my finger against Hot Mama's peachy goodness- love it! I opened up the poster to read all things Birchbox recommended us to do for this year. Later that day, I used the clarifying shampoo - to switch out my regular one. It had a nice sudsy feel- but will continue to use it to see if I will actually get a full-size. The Fresh skin cream was incorporated in my night routine- woke up to smooth hydrated skin.

Lash em serum - I waited until the weekend to try. Nothing drastic has changed yet..and unsure the little sample may bring any solid results.

All in all, excited to see my box next month! Hope it's a good valentines themed one!

January ConsciousBox

I got another ConsciousBox this month! I couldn't help myself as I loved the products in my previous two Classic boxes and really enjoy discovering new snacks! They also offer Vegan and Gluten-free boxes. 

For a very limited time, Plum District is offering a 3 month subscription for $29. (Valued at $56) Since I normally pay $20 a month, this is a fantastic deal!! I'm hoping they don't shortchange the boxes that use this deal, but overall, I've been quite pleased with the goodies in here.

This month I got the following products:

34 Degrees- thin crispy crackers. I literally ate them in less than a minute!
 (Made with unbleached wheat flour, a hint of natural cheese flavor, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt.)

Chia Shots- a single serving of Chia Seeds that is perfect for your purse or lunch bag. I added this to my oatmeal today. Yum!
Did you know? Chia seeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3, dietary fiber, protein, and antioxidants.

LARABAR -this Uber delicious and nutty bar was great for a mid-afternoon snack. It was a bit chewier for my taste but still good!

Pamela’s Products - I have'nt tried yet but I'm excited to make some wheat-free, gluten-free brownies this weekend!

Q.Bel - First product I tried from the box, these mint wafers are chocolate covered so you almost forget that you're eating a healthy treat! Can't wait to get more.

Teeccino This super cereal, Teechia, combines chia, quinoa, amaranth, ramon, and pumpkin seeds!

Tea Forte - a tin of mints, I've actualy tried this before and love it! There's enough in here to last a while so it is amazing. 

Waxalene
Drop the old petroleum jelly and go with something more natural. Organic Soy oil, Beeswax, natural vitamin E, and organic rosemary oil makes this a healthy, nourishing moisturizer and base for everything from dry skin to make up. No petroleum, not greasy, completely biodegradable and free of animal testing.
 
Peeled Snacks - I inhaled these apple clusters in no time! It's got 1 serving of fruit and it's 100% organic. Delicious fiber snack that beats a bag of chips any day!

Dale’s Raw Protein Bar - Looking to intake more protein? I haven't tried this yet either but will be saving it for my next post-workout snack!
 
MAAKOA -Koopuwa is a super antioxidant blend of delicious flavors from Cupuaçu, Acai, red grape, pomegranate, and more berry berry goodness! Will be adding this to my next smoothie.

Nutiva Hemp Seed - Haven't had this yet but I'm planning on adding hemp seeds (has a real nutty flavor) to my next oatmeal breakfast. These seeds are 33% protein and lots of omegas so it's perfect to sprinkle on your next meal.


 BONUS! Nordic Naturals - Fish oil capsules. I've never tried before but I'm intrigued by the omega-3 and omega-9 oils. 

Dove's Winter Care body wash review

Along with my new 2013 routines, I'm making sure my skin is hydrated and nourished- even in the shower. This month I've been using the Dove Winter Care nourishing body wash, infused with its NutriumMoisture technology. Keeping my scaly scary skin at bay, I've noticed my skin feeling softer even with my occasional hot showers. It's good to know my skin is at its best even with all these layers on!

Don't have this body wash? Tip: try to use warm water so you don't dry out skin.

(note: I received this product for review purposes only. All opinions are mine.)

2013 = New Year, New Routines!

2013 is here and it's off to a great start! It's a new year so it means I am going to start off with new routines. Such as? More exercising and joining the Tone It Up #LoveYourBody challenge! I'm also incorporating new routines found online such a EMG Fitness.

In addition, I'm amping my skincare routine by sticking with a schedule to use moisturizer, eye cream and any other serum I can find! Also I'm adding facial masques back into my routine and hoping I don't forget in a few months. :)

I'm also looking forward to trying new snacks and products :) - discovery via monthly subscription boxes. Can't help but to look forward to getting these goodies each month!

Cheers to an amazing 2013!!
