April Birchbox

When I first opened my Birchbox and saw that Women's Health was on the front, I expected the contents inside to be about health...they weren't. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't disappointed with what was inside the box, I was just expecting different things.
Here is what was in my April Birchbox...
StriVectin-SD Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles
I actually haven't used any of this yet, but all the reviews I have seen have been great! It not only works on wrinkles, but it also helps with the dark circles around the eyes. This sample says it is a two-week supply, which makes me happy that I will get to use it more than once!
Nexxus Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir
I have professed my love for Nexxus several times here, and this is no different! I was so excited to see this in my Birchbox! I have been wanting to try it, but never got around to buying any. This stuff smells so good, and it leaves my hair so soft! I will be buying a full size bottle as soon as possible!
Skin&Co Sicilian Body Gel
I have mixed feelings about this product. The scent is not my cup of tea, however it made my skin feel super soft. Considering the price of the full size bottle, I think I will just stick with my current body wash.
Youngblood Anti-Shine Mattifier
I have oily skin, so I need all the help I can get to keep the shine away throughout the day. I really like this product, and would definitely consider buying.
Weleda Body Lotion
These were my least favorite in this month's box. I decided to try the pomegranate lotion before bed one night. When I opened it, I thought it smelled great. But once I put it on, the scent was so overwhelming I had to take a shower to get it off. After that incident, I didn't even try the other scents. Maybe one day I will open them to see what they smell like, but I don't think I will put any on!

Recipe: Stuffed Chicken Breasts

These little pouches are life savers! I keep them stocked in the fridge for nights that I don't have a clue what to make for dinner. But, sometimes, they are a little boring. So I thought I would spice it up a little and stuff the chicken before coating it!

Ready for the easiest chicken recipe?
Well, here you go!
*Ignore the blue markings...I only had colored toothpicks in the house*
Stuffed Chicken Breasts
  • 3-4 chicken breasts
  • 1 package frozen spinach, thawed
  • shredded pepper jack cheese
  • Kraft Fresh Take Southwest Three Cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pound chicken breasts to a 1/4" thick. Mix spinach with pepper jack cheese - make it however cheesy you prefer. Spread the spinach/cheese mixture over chicken, roll up, and secure with toothpicks to prevent any filling from leaking out while it bakes. Coat chicken with the Southwest Three Cheese mixture, place on a baking sheet, and bake 35-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

High Five for Friday

Finally!!! It's Friday!
This week has been a bit boring around here. I spent the first half of my week in day long meetings, then the second half catching up on work from the first half.
Needless to say, I am ready for the weekend!
Linking up with Lauren for H54F.
