More than likely you haven't noticed that I didn't post an entry about my march Birchbox. That was intentional. I doubt I'll blog about them each month. I might, however, decide to share the items I receive in them that make me super happy. Items or product that I am excited about... whether discovered through Birchbox or tv, or people I know.

Now let me tell you about a few items.




Snapea Crisps -  My sister bought a bag at Costco. Or maybe my mom did. It doesn't really matter WHO bought the bag so much as it does that there was an open bag when I was over there around the time of my birthday. I decided to try them. Oh man are they delicious! Before you get excited about them being super healthy for you, they aren't. I mean, they are better than potato chips, but it's not like you're eating a straight snap pea. Talk about a wonderful snack though. And if you know me at all, you know I like snacks. I don't have a Costco card so I've placed an order for the next trip, for their big bag. Meanwhile when I want some I get them at Safeway in the veggie/fruit area. Usually they are on display below a display of fruit or veggies. The bags are a lot smaller, but that's okay.





Tea Forté® minteas - 3 pack - Lemongrass 900x900

Tea Forte Minteas - Lemongrass Yuzu. These were found in my March Birchbox. They are so refreshing. I don't eat them all the time, but when I do, it's a nice little treat.








Julep Tada Quick Dry Drops - I received these drops a while back as part of a mystery box I purchased through Julep.  I think I mentioned in a previous post that I have a monthly Julep subscription. I have an array of their nail polishes and this has become a favorite product of mine. I even got my mom a bottle of it for her birthday because she mentioned how she liked it so much. It does have a strong smell, but it's not a bad smell. And it certainly helps with the drying process.








O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream - You may have seen the commercials for this stuff. In my case it was a co-worker who told me about it. I went through a spell back in the fall/winter where my hands were so dry that they were starting to crack and I just couldn't find anything that would help with it. And then I was told about this. If you go online you can find places that carry it. I bought it at Home Depot. It was in the paint department. It's supposedly known to people who work with their hands or wash their hands a lot - mechanics and nurses alike. I bought some and boy did it work. Once you get passed the waxy feeling on your hands, you realize that your hands feel so protected! I would apply it once in the morning before I left for work, and once before I went to bed. Within a week or two my hands felt back to normal. It has no scent, and a little bit goes a long way. It will sting a lot if your skin is cracked open, but boy does it heal!
