July 2014 Birchbox

{ July 2014 Birchbox }

 Contains: Juice Beauty - Stem cellular repair moisturizer, Number 4 - super comb prep and protect, Ofra - universal eyebrow pencil, Suki - exfoliate foaming cleanser, 100% Pure - gingerade shower gel

It's finally here! Cannot wait to try out these samples from my July 2014 Birchbox. :D 

It looks like this month they teamed up with Women's Health Magazine. I am really excited about the Ofra Universal Eyebrow Pencil and the Number 4 Super comb Prep & Protect leave-in conditioner. I am always on the lookout for a nice eyebrow pencil that draws smooth and natural so glad to have this appear in my box. I have yet to find an effective leave-in conditioner too to help with hair damage from constant hair coloring so hoping the Number 4 Prep & Protect will help. *fingers crossed*

What did you get in this month's Birchbox?

What is this blog all about?

I hope to be able to use this to cover various topics of interest to me. I have been working on a list and trying to see the best layout for this blog to make it into a blog and informational website combination.

So far I have decided I wanted to post about:

• Beauty/Health Product Reviews
• Skincare Product Reviews  (including popular products from China, Korea, and Japan)
• Birchbox Hauls
• Sephora Hauls
• The Body Shop Hauls
• Couponing (I don't consider myself to be at extreme couponing level, yet, but hopefully will get there...lol)

• Teaching English in China (Personal experiences in Hangzhou and Xuzhou and tips like helping you choose the right English school)
• Study Abroad (Personal experiences in Hangzhou and Xuzhou, China and how to fund your own study abroad)
• Traveling around China (Personal experiences traveling China and tips on best ways to travel as a tourist)
• Contemporary Chinese Culture (Chinese youth, Chinese society, Chinese business practices)

• Social media marketing tips
• Display some graphic designs/templates made by me 
• Foodie Album

I know that my categories are going to be kind of broad, which is already presenting itself as a challenge with layout design ideas but I am going to make it work! If anything, thank goodness for the evolution of blogging and the creation of "tags" for posts :D so if you are interested in only one specific category I will be writing about then you can just click on the tag to jump to those posts.
