Unboxing – Topbox Beauty Box, February

Time for another monthly beauty box! I still subscribe to Topbox, and I received my beauty box for February about a week ago, and I am unboxing it in today's story. You may or may not have noticed, but I didn't have a Topbox unboxing in January -- the last time when I wrote a story about my monthly beauty box was in December. The reason why I didn't write about my January box is because I never got it at my door in the first place, as delivery services misplaced it and it has never been found to be delivered to me. At first I was disappointed, and then I contacted Topbox team and asked for their assistance. The money for the lost box was refunded to me, and I just waited for the next beauty box, the one from February.

So, here it is. :)

Happy 7th Blogging Anniversary

My dear friends and readers, it's a special day for me today, my blog turns 7! It's been 7 wonderful years since I started writing, and it's been an incredible journey for me. A lot of things have happened in these past 7 years, in all areas of my life -- my writing, my professional career, my family. I have evolved as a writer and as a person, and I don't want to stop here, I want to go on and continue this remarkable journey.

I'm happy to share my special day with you today, and since my blog anniversary coincides with Saint Valentine's Day, I would like to also wish you a wonderful Valentine, and may love be with you!

HAPPY VALENTINE!

Dragii mei prieteni si cititori, blogul meu implineste astazi 7 ani! Acum 7 ani cand eram in concediu de maternitate iar copilul meu avea 5 luni, incepeam o noua aventura in viata mea care mi-a dat aripi. Iar acum, 7 ani mai tarziu, sunt fericita ca inca mai traiesc aceasta aventura care ocupa un loc atat de special in viata mea. S-au intamplat multe din 2010 incoace, iar eu am evoluat ca persoana si ca scriitoare, si nu vreau sa ma opresc aici, vreau sa merg mai departe si sa continuu aceasta aventura splendida pe care o traiesc de 7 ani.

Aniversarea blogului meu coincide cu Ziua Sfantului Valentin, si vreau sa va urez tuturor o zi a iubirii splendida, in care sa sarbatoriti si sa celebrati dragostea din viata voastra.

HAPPY VALENTINE!
