Fancy Ginger January....

It has been a long time since I posted, my dear fancy people!   For that, I apologize.  Does anyone else think that January is just a weird month?   We just got done with some incredibly wonderful, and incredibly busy holidays...and now it's just....January.  Maybe I am the only one who feels this way?  I have been in a "fancy funk," as of late, and I apologize to my friends and family who have been missing my usual fanciness...but it is coming back (as if it ever truly left?).

I have TWO NEW BIRCHBOX ORDERS IN THE MAIL!!!!  Yay!  One is my January subscription box, which looks amazing, and the other is an order I made using my points to purchase some fancy new products.  I am so excited to share both orders with you.  They should be here by the end of the week.

Also, I dumped my Boxycharm subscription.  I just wasn't happy with it anymore.  And, even though it offered full-sized products for $21/month, I was disappointed with the items I was getting.  Just because something is a good deal, doesn't mean you should keep it.  If you are a Boxycharm subscriber, and loving it...I am happy for you!  :)  It just wasn't for me.

On the upside, I did start a new beauty subscription service called Ipsy.  I was actually going to sign up for this service, way back when I started my Birchbox subscription (almost 2 years ago), but the wait list was so long...and this Fancy Ginger was soooooo impatient.  Just a little about Ipsy--it was co-founded by Michelle Phan, who blew up in the beauty industry with her youtube vlogs and tutorials.  It's $10/month.  Each month subscribers receive 4-5 beauty full-size or deluxe sample size products, in a cute little cosmetics bag.  The first month I am scheduled to receive my subscription is February.  I am just itching to share it with you all.

I am reading a new book I bought this weekend---Yes Please by Amy Poehler.  I am ALMOST done, and will be posting a review of the book, shortly.  But, so far, I love it. I have been wanting to read this book since it came out a few months ago.  It's hilarious, endearing, and insightful.  I wish I could be as effortlessly witty and Miss Poehler....sigh....a Fancy Ginger can dream.

My next post will be all about my BIRCHBOX ORDERS....they make me so happy. :)  Also, we need to get cracking on what this Fancy Ginger should do for her 30th birthday.  I really want to go some where...but where to go?  I have been given several suggestions, which I will share in my next posts.

In the mean time....take care, fancy people.  Be kind to yourself, and always stay fancy.
