Don’t Just Wait For the Rest Of Your Life…
Last year my kids and I read the entire Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. Not only is it a great funny read, but there are lots of great quotes in it too. Here is one of my favorite Lemony Snicket quotes…

Walmart Beauty Box Fall 2015
Did you know that Walmart has it’s own a subscription beauty box? Yup, they do! It is a quarterly box and only costs $5 a season. Generally the box will have around 5 samples, with 1 or 2 of them being full sized products. Also in your Walmart Beauty Box, you’ll find smaller sample beauty products, coupons, and tips on how to use them. Your order will include a wide selection of trusted Beauty brands.
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen the picture that I posted the other day of my fall beauty box. I am loving the Neutrogena mascara! The Dove deodorant smells so wonderful. If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you should 😉 https://instagram.com/lookingjoligood/
Walmart technically calls it a “sample box” and says that the box itself is free and the $5 is a flat rate for shipping and handling. Either way the box costs $5 each season.
How does it work?
- You sign up at https://beautybox.walmart.com/
- Create and account
- Add your payment and shipping info
- Wait for you confirmation email
- Enjoy your beauty box when it arrives
If you are first time subscribers: Your subscription will be processed when you sign up and your credit card will be charged $5 and you will receive the current season’s box. Once you are subscribed, you won’t have to resign up, you will receive a shipping confirmation email and then your box will arrive. You’ll only be charged when your Beauty Box is shipped.
The Walmart beauty box website says “Each seasonal Beauty Box is a “limited edition” and may sell out. Note: Beauty products vary by box. Only one beauty box per email address.”
Shipping Schedule
Winter Starting the last week of November
Spring Starting the second week of March (I didn’t get my spring box until mid May)
Summer Starting the second week of June (I got my summer mid August)
Fall Starting the second week of September (I just got mine mid October)

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty Book Review
Don’t let the 487 pages frighten you away! When you reach the end you will be wishing for 400 more pages!
Laine Moriarty is one of my favorite authors! She has such a talent for writing that you feel as if you are part of the storyline. I became so engrossed with this book that I couldn’t put it down. I am usually in bed and asleep no later than 11, nope not with this book! I stayed up until well past 3 am just so that I could finish reading What Alice Forgot!
So yeah, this book may be categorized as chick-lit, but I found that it really made me think about my own life. If something were to happen to me and I were to forget the last ten years of my life, what would I think about my “new” life? Would I be surprise by what I have become? How have my relationships changed? Would I be surprised at the ones that are better, or which ones have changed for the worst? Have I become the person, wife, and mother that I thought I would be ten years ago? Would I be proud of the decisions that I have made over the last 10 years? This book really made me think about all these things.
Here is how Laine describes What Alice Forgot
“I realized that memory loss is a form of time travel. So I came up with the idea of a woman, Alice, who loses 10 years of her memory. She thinks she is 29, pregnant with her first child and blissfully in love with her husband. She is horrified to discover she is 39, with 3 children and in the middle of a terrible divorce. It’s like the younger Alice has travelled forward in time. Readers tell me that what they liked best about this novel was how it made them think about the choices they’d made and wonder how their younger selves would feel about the lives they are leading now.”
“Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over.”
This is one of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Early love is exciting and exhilarating. It’s light and bubbly. Anyone can love like that. But after three children, after a separation and a near-divorce, after you’ve hurt each other and forgiven each other, bored each other and surprised each other, after you’ve seen the worst and the best– well, that sort of love is ineffable. It deserves its own word.”
The Alice we get to know is in this book is so relatable and likable that you will become enthralled with her life! I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend you read it!
