Tuesday's Tidbits

In my August Birchbox there were samples of shampoo and conditioner that cost $116. Yes, you read that right. And while I am most certainly never going to pay $115 in hair products, my hair absolutely felt completely different (in a good way).

Speaking of Birchbox, any of you participate? For $9.95 a month, you receive an adorable little box packed with fun high end beauty samples. If you'd like to try, use this link, and I'll get credit. ;)

And speaking of hair, mine seems to be growing and falling out all at the same time. How is that even possible? It's at possibly the most awkward stage since my 5th grade school photo. My family knows exactly what I mean by that, and, yes, it is that bad.

The Hogwarts mystery from Rory has been solved. There is a boy in her class named Griffin, which she associated with Gryffindor. Pretty good, huh? I've been reading the first Harry Potter book to Camden over the summer, and while she sometimes listens in, I did not think she was actually absorbing any of it.

Camden told me Sunday, "you know, I'm kind of at the point where I want to listen to grown up music now."

I promise that you want to read this post by Ann Voskamp. So beautiful and convicting.

Remember my hospital stay in July that insurance said they weren't going to cover? Taken care of. 

And part of my scrapping from Friday night. Actually, none of this is from Friday - those are all secret because they're using supplies not yet released.
