Birchbox: August

This month's line up:

Schick Hydro Silk Razor
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur
Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream
stila Stay All Day Foundation

I LOVE the razor. Seriously! I think it will actually replace the love I have to my Venus razors. The perfume, eh, my mom loved it, but I'm not a fan. I haven't given the foundation a whirl yet, but I'm definitely going to. I could use an easy to apply, good, long lasting foundation so we'll see if it's the winner.

Overall impression of this box is ok. Not great, but not bad either. I'm getting a little disappointed in Birchbox. It seems like every month the boxes are getting a little more "eh" and less "yay." I'm not sure if it's because I haven't bought anything in their shop or if it's because they hook you in the first month or so and then start to slowly cut back. I'm going to give them September before I make any decisions, but I'm considering cancelling my subscription.

What Do We Have To Lose?

Next week I have my yearly scheduled with Dr. Awesome. I made a point to make sure it was with Dr. Awesome because we have an agenda. We're going to ask him about another medication.

When I first met with Dr. Awesome back in October he went over the game plan. 6 months on meds before any further testing. He blindsided us when he ordered testing after 3 failed cycles. He blindsided us again when he referred us to an RE after our results came back fine. I respect his referral, I really do. I appreciate that he wants to see us be successful so he forwarded us to the specialist, but I still feel like I need those 3 months.

I figured the worst that can happen is he says no. I need to at least try though.
