My New Favorite Nail Polish :) and how you can try it too FOR *FREE!~

I fell in love with this color from Zoya today!

I got my first Zoya sample from Birchbox about 6 months ago and I loved it.  Zoya was one of the first companies to remove harsh chemicals from their polishes such as Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, Camphor and Dibutyl Phthalate.They are also Vegan friendly which were some of the reason Birchbox liked the brand and sent it out.

I saw this color mixed with another in a magazine so I decided to price it out and found that right now Zoya is offering 3 free bottles to customers.  All you pay is shipping which is $10.  Well worth it for 3 amazing bottles of nail polish.  I ordered some of their quick dry drops as well and it didn't cause my shipping cost to change.  Apparently they are known for creating this type of product.

So head over to Zoya and get your 3 free bottles now (*pay shipping) by using code ZOYA2013.

Gift Guide Ideas For Those Hard To Buy For

The past several days we've been researching and putting together a few ideas for certain age groups for Christmas. So over the next couple of days I'll begin to roll these out and then compile at the end and keep you updated on price changes and so forth!

Have friends and family that are hard to buy for? If so here are a few ideas:

1. Copco 16.9-Ounce Hydra Bottle, Blue

This water bottle is not like other reusable water bottles. This bottle can be twisted open in the middle so that you can throw in some ice cubes or maybe even a tea bag with ease. The ability to open it also makes it much easier to clean which is always a plus.

Amazon $8.99

2. Minimergency® Kit for Her- These little kits can come in handy for every woman. We all come across a need at some point for something that we can't find (like clear nail polish for a run in nylons even though you did your nails the night before J ) This handy little kit is a one stop shop for items that can save you in a pinch some of which are: Hairspray, Clear Nail Polish, Nail Polish Remover, Emery Board, Lip Balm, Earring Backs, Clear Elastics, Sewing Kit, Double-Sided Tape, Stain Remover, Deodorant Towelette, Pain Reliever, Tampon, Breath Freshener, Dental Floss, and Adhesive Bandages.

Amazon $13.00

5. Samurai Sword Umbrella

Who doesn't need an umbrella at some point? More importantly, who doesn't want to be a Samurai every now and then? This unique gift covers both of those needs. The Samurai Sword Umbrella is a fun way to battle the rain. The carry case allows you to carry the umbrella across your back in the same way Samurai's carry their swords. It opens with the push of a button making it a quick and easy fix to any rainy situation.

Have you gotten your November Birchbox? :)

Birchbox is the best way to discover new beauty, grooming and lifestyle products. Join to receive monthly deliveries of top product samples from high-end brands.

I have been a member for about a year now. Overall I have been very happy with the service. I have been able to try new things that I otherwise would not have spent the money on to try. I don't mind spending money on make up etc but I do have an issue with spending a lot of money on something I don't know that I will like.

Birchbox is $10 a month with discounts for yearly memberships.

they also launched Birchbox for Men this year....

It goes for $20 a box but they include more lifestyle items in their boxes. I was able to get one for my boyfriend and along with lotion, cologne and shaving cream samples it also included some Iphone accessories that I was not familiar with.

Box options offer a 3 month option as well which will make a great gift this holiday season.
