January Glam Box

January 29, 2013 by Sheila | A B & Me 4 Comments

So January Glambox arrived. I’m sort of “happy” with this one. You may have noticed that I didn’t write anything about the December box. Well, I wasn’t a big fan of what’s inside. Anyhoo, moving on.
 
Here’s the January Box:
Crappy picture, I know…I was in a hurry
 
 

What’s Inside:

Bath & Body Works – Forever Red Eau De Parfum – a passionate blend of pomegranate and red osmanthus with a hint of vanilla. — Me loves vanilla! I’m currently using this one right now!

Dr. Hauschka Natural Skin Care (Quince Day Cream) – not really sure what to do with this. :/

Luxury Lavander Lip Balm – a soothing lip balm which will ease the symptoms of dryness. It contains pure essential lavander oil of the highest quality in a natural base. – Tried it, liked it but not enough to buy. I still have a tub of petroleum jelly (vaseline cocoa butter) which works really well for me.

Herbline Essentials Cucumber & Rose Skin Tonic – A beautiful skin toner, organic beauty range that advocates the return to nature, offering ayurvedic products sourced in the Himalayas. – I have yet to try this.

Elizabeth Arden Red Door Collection – Scent Strip – a scent strip? I loved the fragrance but not happy with the scent strip at all. I was hoping I could “test drive” this beautiful scent! Oh well.

My 3 month subscription is up. Should I renew? I’m still thinking about it. Loved the first box, forgot about the second box and third box is … uhmm… OK.

However, the joy of having a box delivered to me is something I look forward to every month. So maybe I will. But let me sleep on it a little bit more.

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’ve been my constant for 20+ years—through chaos, kids, and late-night cravings. You serve, you provide, you love us like crazy. We’re so lucky! 

You’re really a hard habit to break.
