How I spend my week....

So it's been a couples weeks since my first post on this here blog. I figured I would update this and give you a look into how I spend a majority of my time during the week. (School!)

I for some ungodly reason signed myself up for 8 ams every.single.day, someone please tell me what I was thinking? But I will say this, I am enjoying this semester and my variety of classes more than I have ever enjoyed any other semester here at my University.

I am finally in a majority of classes that focus on my major, which is Food Science and Human Nutrition. I am taking a Food Chemistry class that deals with the reactions and chemistry (duh!) of food. I particularly enjoy my Human Nutrition class, I've learned a lot about carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and other human nutrition aspects. 

One class I detest though is a food science class that deals with preservation and processing. I don't know if it's just how it is taught or how late in the date it is, but I truly am not enjoying it. But I understand I will not like every class I am going to take in order to get my degree.

Well, thats all there is to really update about.

September 2012 Birchbox Unboxing

I received my September Birchbox in the mailbox today! Since subscribing to get the monthly Birchbox I look forward to opening up and checking out all the fun new product samples.

This month didn't have a particular theme like some previous months boxes. But it does say on the card "September marks the starting line for the seasons fashion bonanza . . . We've put together a mini-mag filled with ten of our favorite fall beauty trends"

Y'all this mini-lookbook is so cute! It ranges from saying what eyeshadows are hott for fall to even given a step by step direction on a side braid with a twist!

But anyway less chat, lets take a look at this months goodies. . .

So this is the first glimpse when I opened the box it shows the card that gives the details of the products that are in my box. And this months tissue paper is a greenish-blue.
