~Happy Monday! B has the day off today (MLK Day) so he and L are off to the Auto Show this morning while WB and I hang out and play like normal. I tossed around the idea of going, but thought WB would appreciate if we didn’t go more ;). Plus, I scheduled Valentine’s pictures for the boys later on his afternoon and umm, I need to figure out what the kiddos are wearing. I should really get thinking about that.
~B ran his first 5K of the year on Saturday and the rest of the weekend was mainly spent getting caught up on things (like I mentioned yesterday, I got a ton of stuff done) and hanging out at home (which is my kind of weekend).
~There’s no mail today, so that means no subscription boxes coming today. That’s totally fine by me though because I have a lot of reviews to get caught up on, including Kiwi Crate, Candy Pack, Stork Stack, Googaro, Brazen Friends with Benefits, KaleidaKidz and Plated. I am expecting a bunch of boxes this week too including SocialBliss StyleBox (*), The Bride Box, MAXBox, The Monthly Nail and Crafter’s Crate. Should be a fun week ;).
~Sometimes, mainly when I read stories on Radar Online and the like, I leave the story more confused than when I started. Take this story about Jenelle and her “baby daddy-to-be” and about his ex-girlfriend who also happens to be pregnant (but Radar doesn’t know by who). Oddly enough, the two don’t get along and fight about on Twitter (where else). Two things. 1). Why did I read that? 2). Why do I want to know more?
~Can we talk about the MALIN+GOETZ Face Mask for a second? I have used it twice now and OMG I swear I notice a difference already. Seriously. I think I am in love. Has anyone trued anything else from this line? I received the lip balm in my ipsy and love that, but I am curious about their face creams?
~Bao Bao, the baby panda at the National Zoo is perhaps the cutest thing going right now. I want to snuggle that adorable bear! Is there a panda cam on that thing? Because I need to see more!
That’s it for now, but what’s up for your Monday? Anything big going on this week?
Not sure if there is a webcam, but the National Zoo has an instagram account and they post videos of Bao Bao.
Totally going to follow!!!!!!
LOL I wrote about bao bao too this morning. We are going to visit next week! I’m so jealous that you’re getting your style box! Did you hear anything about shipping on the one you ordered?
Ahhh, I am jealous you get to see him in person!!! No, I didn’t hear anything on the one I ordered. although, I don’t even know if I got an e-mail confirmation when I ordered, so maybe it’s on it’s way too???
I hope they are shipping soon if they are sending you a box! I ordered one as soon as I was allowed but haven’t heard anything since.
Since the Pats didn’t win my husband said he didn’t care about watching the SB live, so I am thinking that will be the BEST day to go. Although Monday will probably be even better. Maybe we’ll go to the movies Sunday night or something. Or rent one. I don’t know yet 🙂
That probably would be a good day to go!
Panda Cam…. http://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/giantpandas/
There is so much great stuff to see/do in DC & Baltimore, you should vacay! There’s a great aquarium in Baltimore and and smaller but still nice version in DC. The National Zoo and most of the museums are free, as are the monuments. I bet your boys would enjoy it!
I cannot believe I have never been there!
I live in Northern VA. I love, love, love this area, so much to do. I’m not too far from multiple beaches (3 hrs), an hour a way from DC, 2 hours from Williamsburg, VA, we have mountains, historical sites (James Madison’s home, George Washington’s home, and Thomas Jefferson’s home (all of which I went to on field trips as a kid), Luray caverns. There is so much to do close to where I live I couldn’t do it all in one life time. I don’t think I would ever want to leave this area.
There are Panda cams!

Thank you!
I use the malin and goetz shampoo and it awesome. At first I thought the texture was weird- a little like hair gel from the la looks days. It lathers so well and my hair is super clean feeling with no static. Great for the winter! 🙂
Another thing to add to my list!
We have family pictures on Wed when it is going the be 30deg outside here. LOL not sure what I was thinking about scheduling these in Jan. 🙁 Still trying to figure out what all of us are wearing. I’m thinking sweaters and jeans but something that coordinates without being too matchy that is the trick.
30 degrees would be like a heatwave right now 😉
Yes! There is totally a panda cam (I live in DC). If you go to the Nat Zoo site, you’ll see it. There are two and one is always on the cub so if you don’t see her on one, check the other cam. I went to see her in person last week during member preview–super cute!
How long did you have to wait to see her???
I went on a Friday afternoon, during a regular school/weekday, so we only waited about 20 mins before we were let in (every group they let into the exhibit gets about 10 mins in the exhibit). I’ve heard that the waits this weekend have been insane, some people started lining up at 4am on Saturday. Which to me, is insane. I mean, she’ll be here for 3 more years!
Oh that’s not bad at all! But the 4am thing, that’s a little much!
There is a webcam of Bao Bao! I love watching it! Here’s the link: http://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/webcams/giant-panda.cfm She’s sleeping right now. She’s so cute!
Thank you!
There is a panda cam. I watch Bao bao every weekend. Here’s the link. Enjoy!

The twin pandas Mei-Lun & Mei Huan in Atlanta are also adorable. But the panda cam there sucks. The quality is not good.
I am from Taiwan. We also have a panda cub called Yuan-Zai. I read her news and watch her video everyday. I am totally obssesed with the baby pandas now lol.

Well there goes my afternoon 😉
I am so glad you got the lip balm so I can talk to someone about how freaking awesome it is. I feel like it lasts for hours. My lips feel so much better after two days of using it. I am thinking next time I need a moisturizer I may try to look them up. The mask is also my favorite. It works, but also it feels so fun on my face. I made my husband mute the TV and listen to it crackle and pop.
Doesn’t it make you want to try more of their line? So much fabulous stuff!!!
That detox face mask is FABULOUS! I am raving about it to anyone who will listen. I swear I saw my pores get smaller in one use, plus the bubbling feels fantastic. I am definitely going to try other products from this line. Loved the PopSugar box this month 🙂
I am going to make my husband use it tonight!
I love the panda cam I can still remember back in 2007 when I was a teachers assistant in a first grade class for one of my college courses there was a week that they wold watch the panda cam for a little while everyday to get ready for their field trip there. I want to go see the baby panda so bad she’s so adorable!
Now that everyone has mentioned it it does sound familiar!
I noticed a difference right away when I used the face mask. I never thought I would pay $40 for a face mask, but I might buy another one of these (If I can’t trade for one).
I might too!!
Ahhh the Malin + Goetz face mask has been sitting on my bathroom counter but I haven’t used it yet. You have convinced me!! Suuuper excited about SocialBliss, but I will be skipping your review until I get mine to keep the surprise! 🙂
Try it!!!
I went to China last year and actually got to hold a panda cub. Their fur is like wool.
Ahhh, was it cuddly?
Well they do kind of feel like big teddy bears but they’re not particularly cuddly. They just sit on your lap while munching on bamboo shoots.
I loved the mask too! I have the peppermint body scrub that they make & it is great.
Ahhh, I need to buy a little sample pack or travel sized products so I can try a bunch!
I love the mask from M&G! Seriously LOVE it! I have really sensitive skin and I was worried it would make my face freak out, but joy to the world, it didn’t! My face felt fresh, clean and I seriously love the crackling noise it makes. Is that weird? Lol 🙂
No, it is not weird at all! That thing is so cool!
