DIY - Recycling your old Birchboxes

Image
Hey Urban babies, I hope you all survived Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If your like me, then you tend to avoid craziness like that and do most of your shopping online, which a lot of stores were offering Black Friday deals on Thursday!!! Anyway...if you didn't get to pick up all you needed then and funds are a little tight now, let me show you a cool way to recycle something you may already have in your home and turn it into a wonderful gift idea or you can keep it for yourself. As most of you know from reading my blog, I receive a monthly subscription to Birchbox,  https://www.birchbox.com?raf=1d29c . Items ranging from full size to sample size come in this very sturdy cardboard box. Well...I have been holding on to my boxes for a while and I didn't know what to do with them. So of course I went to YouTube  and the net to gather some ideas on what to do this the boxes. Now I can't remember where I saw this, but I just loved it....So please check out how I "Recycled...

Beauty - October's curlBOX

What's up Urban boys and girls!!!! It's been a while since I've posted, so let me get right into. In the recent month's there has been a new craze on the market and it seems like everyone is jumping on board. What is that craze you may ask...well its called curlBOX, www.curlbox.com. It's a monthly subscription that cost $20 a month and you will receive a package with 3-5 full size, yes, FULL SIZE products as well as travel and sample size products that are geared towards the natural hair consumers, especially in the African American market. I have some full sized products that cost wayyyyyyyy more than $20, so to receive 3-4 full size products a month, shhhh....I'll take that.  In order to receive the curlBOX you have to sign up on a waiting list...which is different from most monthly subscriptions which allow you to have open access to it's membership. With curlBOX it's not that easy, as they make you feel as if your in an exclusive and elite club. Whi...

Beauty - Birch Box June/July

Image
Hey Urban babies!!! I want to bring to you a quick view of my June and July Birchbox's.  So your asking yourself, " What's that, what's a Birch Box?".  Well....it is one of many ways consumers can try a new product before you purchase the full size item. It is a monthly subscription that is deducted from your checking account for only $10 a month. I've known about Birch Box for a while, but I recently signed up in May and received my first box in June. I will say, I was not disappointed, and now I look forward to receiving that cute little box every month. There are so many beauty boxes on the market right now and I think that's great!!!. Whoever came up with that idea was really on to something. Any who....here are the photos from my June/July Birchbox. If you are interested in signing up for Birch Box, click the link. https://www.birchbox.com?raf=1d29c .  So check out the Birch Box, you can follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Until next time...

Beauty - Natural Hair Meet

Hello Urban babies!!! I had a wonderful weekend, I hosted my very first natural hair meet up. It was an intimate event hosted at my friends home. We discussed everything from health to natural hair care tips. I had some wonderful sponsors whom provided all the samples I needed for the event. It was a great turn out and everyone that showed up enjoyed themselves.  The companies that provided samples for the event are were Miss Jessie's  www.missjessies.com , Carol's Daughter www.carolsdaughter.com , Curls www.curls.biz , and Beautiful Textures www.beautifultextures.com.  I am so thankful to each and everyone one of the companies for helping make my event a success. Living in Austin, TX the natural hair scene is not like tat of Dallas, Houston, or other cities. This is hopefully the start of many more meetups to come. Until next time, Stay Fabulous.
