What I Miss Most

I remember while I was in school thinking that I was never going to miss being in school.  Now that I have been out of school for a few years I realize that I do miss school.  I don’t miss tests but I miss learning.  I actually miss going to classes and learning new things.  It is crazy for me to think that I miss anything about school because I really hated school until I got to college.

High school was rough for me because of bullying and I just wanted to get out of there.  Once I started college and Weber State University I came to love learning and  going to class.  I know it had a lot to do with the fact that I was taking classes that I enjoyed and wasn’t stuck taking tons of classes that didn’t interest me.

I miss learning things.  I don’t know what it is about sitting a class room listening to a professor teach that makes me feel like I am learning but it does.  I really want to take a class here are there because I do miss learning.  I feel like I am wasting away when I am not in school.  I am sure that is because I never have finished school so I still feel like I need to finish.

School has always come easy to me and I think that is why I miss learning.

What do you miss about school?

Influenster Vox Box

I was chosen to receive May’s Influenster VoxBox.  If you haven’t heard if Influenster before it is a totally free subscription service.  Once you sign up you unlock badges of the things that interest you.  They then will send you boxes on the months that your interests match what is going to be in the box.  What I love about this is service is that it is totally free and you get full size and deluxe sample size products.

Here is a picture of what was in this months box. (I just realized that the body wash is missing from this picture.  I had already started to use it so it was in the bath room.)

Other than the body wash that was a travel size product everything else is a full size product.  I was so excited to get a full size body spray from Bath & Body Works.  The spray costs $14 dollars and I got if for free!!!!!!  They sent me the Sweet Pea flavor and I really like it.

The next thing that came in it was a SoyJoy bar.  I got the strawberry flavored one.  At first I wasn’t excited about this because most bars have gluten in them but once I read the packaging I realized that this bar was gluten free so I could actually eat it.  I did eat this bar but it isn’t anything that I would buy.  It did taste better than most others bars do but I am not a huge fan of soy and how it tastes.I also got inserts that you put in high heels by Dr. Scholls.  I don’t wear high heels but I am going to be giving these to Misti because she loves to wears heels so I know she will get use out of them.  I know if I did wear heels I would be super excited to try these out because I am sure they would work great.

I am going to talk about the other products they sent me in another post because this post has gotten long.  Be on the look out for the rest of the products.

Creative Girl Media

I can’t even tell you how excited I was when I checked my emails tonight and saw that I was chosen to to be part of the Creative Girl Media team!!!!!!  I am sure that most of you know by now that I design blogs.  In the process of learning and meeting other designers I got to know April from April Showers Design Studio.  She has started The Blog Designer Network and she launched Creative Girl Media a few months ago.  When I saw that she was looking for team members I knew I had to apply because it would be such a great opportunity for me and my blogs.

The great thing about Creative Girl Media is that is just isn’t for blog designers.  It is a site for anyone and everyone!  It is for anyone woman who loves to blog and/or create things.  They are also a lot of great things that you can buy in the store.  In fact right now you can get a blog post planner for free!  This is such a great way to organize your posts and even keep track of ideas that you have for other posts.  I know I will be using this to help me get organized when it comes writing posts for both of my blogs!

Make sure you check out Creative Girl Media and let her know that you heard about it from me!
