Glossybox August bohemian summer

This review is a little late because I didn't get my box til a week into September. After I got the box I then had to wait for them to send me a replacement item for the busted eyeshadow I received. So this review will include the items in my original box as well as my replacement items that I finally got in the mail today.

Guess denim pouch: this bag is very cute and I hadn't realized guess was still around and still making denim products too bad the coupon code they sent expired the day I received the box.

Anatomicals spray misty for me facial spritz: I was skeptical when I saw this in other reviews but I ended up actually liking this product and I tend to keep it in my purse now.

Novex Brazilian keratin hair care treatment  cream: I will probably ended up trading this for something else cause I don't really have any use for this.

Jelly pong pong lip blush: haven't opened this since I'd gotten a pop beauty lip crayon in ipsy recently and I have plenty of lip products that I am trying to use so it will be awhile before I can get to this. I should really use one of my glossyboxes to gather up all my lip products in one place since I always seem to misplace them and find them at random times.

ModelCo eyeshadow duo in bronzed goddess: this is the product that arrived busted and was the item I was most looking forward to trying. They had run out of this product when I contacted them so they sent me two products to replace it. But I was lucky enough to find an extremely nice person in one of the swap groups I'm in who is sending me her duplicate of this eyeshadow and her duplicate sue Dewitt pressed powder.

Sue Dewitt triple c-weed pressed powder: I ended up giving the one that came in my box to my best friend S who says I'm spoiling her since I give her some of the makeup and products I get in these boxes.

Replacement products:

Sparitual nail polish (adore): I really like this pink color but I don't do well painting my nails with pinks this shade since its so light and hard for me to tell being half blind how well I've covered my nails so I will ask my mom to help me paint my nails with this color or I might take it with me next time I go get my nails painted at a nail salon but that's a very rare thing in the past few years.

Feel like honey moon skin base: this is a moisturizer and makeup base and I am looking forward to trying it. I don't remember seeing this in any past boxes so I'm wondering if this is possibly one of the September products that they decided to send me early.  I could be wrong and it may have been in one of the limited edition boxes.

This box had some hits and misses so hopefully they do better with this months box.

Taste guru September box

Today I got a huge surprise when the first of my two free taste guru boxes was dropped off on my porch! Their customer service said I wasn't going to receive this months box so I was happy to see it.

Being on the autism spectrum I've heard numerous times how a gluten free diet can help with so when I saw the deal for 2 free months just pay shipping I figured it was worth a shot since I've been considering gluten free for a while. 

They had me excited by the first look and I couldn't wait to dig in to see all the full sized goodies so let's get into it!

~Toufayan bakeries gluten free wraps: I'm excited to try these cause I love wraps and tortillas. They also included a recipe in the box for grilled veggie and hummus wraps that look very tasty.

~Rocky mountain company popcorn company butter popcorn: I love to have popcorn while watching a movie although I don't tend to buy popcorn at the movie theater since I found a mouse running around in the kernels once when I worked at a movie theater, so I'd rather not risk a mousy surprise in my movie treat.

~Glutino gluten free strawberry breakfast bars: I am interested to try these and see what they taste like.

~ Sea Fare Pacific smoked salmon chowder: I've never had salmon chowder before so this should be interesting.

~ Cooksimple tamale pie: I think I'm going to make this one night next week and not tell my dad that its gluten free and see what he thinks of it.

~Viviana gluten free and vegan sweet potato fettuccine: omg they've combined 2 of my favorite things sweet potatoes and pasta! I will probably make this next week although I'm wondering what kind of sauce would be best with this since I'm not too sure that red sauce will go too well with it, any ideas?

I think I love this box company so many great full size products that I can't wait to try and I am looking forward to seeing what they send next month!

"Wrecking Ball" kind of love..

So I took a little break from blogging and there are a few box reviews I didn't do which I will be skipping since they would be a few months late. I'm going to get back into doing box reviews this month and should have my August glossybox review up soon since I just received it last week. 

This post however is a more personal one to help me explain and deal with some things going on in my life. So last November my ex J and I decided to give our relationship another try. I gave him my entire heart and one week ago after a great lunch date he blindsided me that night on the phone saying that he wanted to take a break from us.

Only 3 days later he already had a date for Friday with another young woman (K). Needless to say my heart felt stomped on until yesterday. Yesterday he told me that he thought of this as a break up not a break. I know some people may feel writing about this so soon is a bad idea but knowing myself this will help me more then staying silent.

My heart feels like it has been ripped open and left bleeding on the floor. He'd been my first love and at the moment I feel like I could never trust anyone enough to give them my heart and thus the power to hurt me so immensely. I am not writing this to get people to feel sorry for me. I am writing this to try to start working through all this pain that I am feeling. I'm not looking for people to tell me that things will get better as I have too many people already telling me this. Not saying that any of you are wrong I am just not in a place where my heart is listening to any of that. 

I know that I will get through this it will just take time and strength. Hope that you all are enjoying your September so far and that you will come back to read my upcoming box reviews!

Live. Love💙. Stay Asp-tastic!
