the little things. [and a glossybox review.]

as much as being unemployed seems like a temporary vacation, i must admit, i am getting quite tired of it. i am itching to get back to work, to a regular adult-like routine (as the majority of my day right now consists of laying at the beach).  although, i will say that it has made for a smoother transition, i start to doubt myself in some strange way. being the only one of my friends in this situation, having no one but myself to enjoy the beautiful summer days with... i am sure you are thinking: "rough situation, julia, really rough." but let me tell you, i do not feel independent. i do not feel as free as you would think. i have really had to look to the little things that surround me to keep me staying positive.

the june 2012 glossybox review that i owed ya!

the ahava: mineral botanic hibiscus and fig velvet cream wash smells amazing and left my skin feeling very soft. 

i have a confession. i don't ever use shaving cream- just soap and hot water. so it was great to try the first aid beauty: smooth shaving cream. it left my legs feeling uber moisturized and i loved it. i think it turned me into a believer. 

the ofra cosmetics: eye shadow ICE was an easy application. a little goes a long way- and you can add layers to deepen the color. 

one thing that i am always self conscious of is the dark circles around my eyes. luckily in the summer when i have some life to my face, it isn't as noticeable, but the vbeatute: lite up, buying time, and eye never creams will be a great addition to my routine come winter, when they are most noticeable. 

as i have mentioned before, my hair tends to get very dried out, so i was excited that for the second month in a row, there was a deep conditioning treatment in my glossybox. the wella professionals: enrich moisturizing treatment only took a few minutes but left my hair feeling naturally silky.

i got a sixth item this month [score!]: the a perfume organic: urban organic eu de parfum is a great summer scent.
