May Unboxing

Last month I received my first ever owlcrate and I must say it did not disappoint. On Monday I received my second one now if you saw my first unboxing you'll have seen that this months theme was Steampunk. I was super excited yet very curious about what in the world they were going to send in this. When I first opened this months box my one question was, "Is there a Clockwork Angel themed trinket in this?" While I knew that there would be from the sneak peek E-mail they sent I was still super excited. Of course there was along with a few other items that will help out greatly when I do my steampunk costume in August. :)
 The first thing you see when you open up the box is this handy little card. On the back is all the information about all of the products that are in the box. But after you set this aside you get to the goodies.
Lets break it down:
  1. The Infernal Devices ring designed by Sparks Emporium
  2. Skeleton key pendant necklace created by Crystal Compass Designs
  3. Steampunk nail-wraps by Espionage Cosmetics
  4. A awesome ring from Elope. This is just one of the five metal accessories that this months box had.
  5. Minimalist art print tribute to J.M. Barrie from Creative Daffodil Studios.
  6. And the book, Everland by Wendy Spinale. According to the card this story is a unique spin on the classic Peter Pan story. Along with the book I received some gold flash tattoos based on the book and a letter from the author.  
If this has made you interested in what owlcrate has to offer head over to their website and subscribe. Junes theme is Royalty! Also if you enjoyed Aprils box owlcrate is offering a one time purchase of Aprils Dystopian themed box!

What's in my Gym Bag


Woah, so this past semester was absolute madness! Finally I'm on summer break and am trying to make the most of it! So the first thing I did was start going back to the gym. I always try to go to the gym during school but I can never seem to fit it in once homework and everything else school has to offer starts up. So i have taken to only going to the gym on my breaks from school. So I'm back at the gym and am really making it work this time. I feel absolutely great this time around, and have not had that dread of  'I really don't want to go!' So to share my excitement I thought I would share what I keep in my gym bag.

To start my bag isn't anything too special I purchased it at my local Wal-Mart for under $20. I really like it and it works for me.

  1. Set of headphones - Can't workout without music. 
  2. Headband and hair ties- My hair is super long right now and I can't concentrate without pulling my hair back.
  3. Clothes - I go to the gym first thing in the mornings on my days off from work, so I keep the next days outfit in my bag so i can just grab it in the morning.
  4. Knee braces - I maybe young but my job is very physically taxing so, sadly I have a bad knee.
  5. Water bottle - I love this bottle I got it from Victoria Secret a few years ago.
  6. Personal Hygiene products - I keep a fresh smelling body mist in my bag to spritz on after my workout. Deodorant is a must for anyone.
  7. Emergency bag - I keep one of these in every bag I carry so that I always know I have things I would need. I keep band aids, an EOS balm, nail clippers, hand sanitizer, bobby pins, extra hair bands, and oil absorbing sheets.
















If I were to be going somewhere other than home after the gym of course I would have much more to carry with me. I'm very happy with my gym schedule and it feels great to be back in the gym. I have so much more energy to get everything I need to do done.
