Petit Vour January 2015 review

I wonder if the whole curation by a guest will be a continuing theme – this time they partnered up with some model to choose these items.

Petit Vour is $15 per box (or as much as $30 for international subscribers) and comes with vegan beauty, skincare, and other personal care products. Boxes are sent monthly with no option to skip. They offer a referral program that earns you points towards free boxes (email contact@petitvour.com to say I referred you if you sign up!).

100% Pure French Lavender Hand Buttercream – I’m keeping this at my bedside for any lotioning needs. It’s a great creamy lotion with a soothing lavender scent. I love to have something like this around for the winter months.

EVOLVh SmartStart Leave-In Conditioner – This smells lovely and a spray or two is all it takes to make it easy to brush through my wet hair. I also like to spray a little on the brush before taming down dry hair that might be getting a bit staticy. It works wonders!

Modern Minerals en pointe shimmer eye shadow – Well, I don’t need eye shadow and I don’t like pink stuff so this will definitely go up for trade. It’s cool that they made a shade just for PV but we got an eye shadow from this brand already so I would have liked to see something new.

rawskinceuticals rose creme cheek color – Erm, this creme is strange to me. I never use blush and this looks like it would be way obvious. I feel like it’d be easy to overdo it with this. I might try it though, if I don’t end up trading it, just because I’m curious.

Well, again it was two items I love and two that I don’t think I’ll use. While the value is probably there, I sure hope there are more products to my liking coming soon. What do you think about these products?

[This post mentions a referral program. Signing up and emailing contact@petitvour.com to say I referred you helps support my subscription and I’d be ever so grateful. 🙂 All opinions are my own and I received no compensation for this review. I just purchased this box and wanted to share what I got!]

Kitty snores

Ok, so it’s more like squeaking than snoring, but can cats actually snore? She may not be able to breathe (easily) like this, but boy is she sleeping well.

Between this and helping him off my lap, I’d like to think I trained George to jump. 😛

Hahaha, what a cheeky way to bring attention to their store, which is kind of blocked by the gas station.

Avatar algorithm

I am greatly amused by how fitting the avatars generated for my commentators tend to be. The girls get “prettier” ones and the guys get more bold ones (not to gender stereotype, but personality-wise these people tend to fit those profiles). If you want to see what yours is, just comment on my blog and the little square picture that shows up is your avatar. If you see a picture, that means you created a Gravatar, so you’d either have to comment using an email different from your Gravatar, or go deactivate your picture for a bit to see what would have been generated for you.

I don’t know what type of algorithm is used to translate an email address into an avatar and it’s probably completely random, but I do feel that you’ll like get an image that you like and/or seems fitting for you. Perhaps it’s all my imagination, but I can’t help but think that! If you don’t believe me, try it for yourself and see what you think! The style I chose is called “Identicon” and all images are single-colored geometric patterns. There’s also a set called “Wavatar” and another called “MonsterID” – the former I’m not very familiar with and seems to be little geometric creatures, while the latter is a bunch of fun little monster cartoons.

Go ahead, give it a try and let me know if you like what you get! 🙂

Taking a tour outside Bangkok and it’s time for lunch on the river, literally!

Then we zoomed upriver to the bamboo rafts awaiting us.

This looked like a fun party!

Sometimes I like to sit outside and eat my Quizno’s, with the traffic on Sepulveda whizzing by. And every time that happens, curious and hungry birds are there, waiting for me to share some of my food. These two were particularly bold in demanding I feed them!
