My Rocksbox

Hey ya'll! 

I apologize for the delay in this post. I brought my camera on my spring break trip with me, so that I could capture some styled snapshots of my Rocksbox pieces. Sadly, I opened my camera bag to reveal a broken lens piece. I'm hoping to take my camera in to get fixed this week, and I'm sorry that I couldn't show these pieces on and with my outfits. 

I will say that I am loving this Rocksbox experience. I have the option to refresh my items as often as I want, so I've decided to send back all three pieces for three new ones! You can always buy a piece you're particularly fond of, or you can even purchase all of them for your collection. Find out more on Rocksbox.com

Here's what I got in my Rocksbox:

(sorry for the iPhone pictures...I miss my camera!)

 

House of Harlow 1960 Howl Cuff in Ivory

 

SLATE Marble Triangle Studs

Perry Street Mindy Necklace 

Good news! Rocksbox has so graciously offered to extend my deal for an additional month - yay! So, this month, if you order your Rocksbox using the code "cristinaoncampusxoxo" it will be free :)

How To Squeeze in a Workout

With my schedule, the best time for me to go to the gym is between 1 and 4. Really weird timing, right? No part of me wants to wake up at 6 a.m. and workout before my classes, and in the evening my motivation levels take a serious drop. I honestly love going to the gym. As odd as it may sound, it's my favorite part of my day. For me, exercising is how I unwind and relieve any stress. If you're going to do a midday workout, follow these steps, so you can go get in a great workout then head off to meetings, class, or study dates!

I usually take a quick shower with my hair tied back, and then I spray some of this Oahu Coconut Sunset body spray from Bath and Body Works. I always stock up on a fresh and clean scent because they are perfect for a quick after-the-gym shower before taking on the rest of the day.

I lay out my workout clothes and my clothes for after my workout, so I don't waste any time in my room when I have errands to run or a study sesh to get to.

I touch up my foundation on my T-zone and occasionally add more mascara. I know it's not great to workout in your makeup, but hey - you gotta do what you gotta do! If you have a meeting before your workout, chances are you'll have to go to the gym in your face - oh well. I use the Tarte Amazonian clay powder for my foundation.

I blow out my roots and all the little baby hairs that can get messy after a workout. If I don't shower and wash my hair that day (because I don't every day), I'll use some dry shampoo. Try some no-heat, easy hairstyles like a braid or a messy bun after the gym.

After weights, my hands are all raw and gross. EOS hand lotion to the rescue. 

If you feel drained and gross after a workout, chances are you haven't hydrated enough! Try to drink a large bottle of water or two right after you finish working out so you don't feel a crash. 

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Rocksbox FAQ

Hey ya'll! 

Thanks so much to those that have used my code to receive their first month of Rocksbox free! I can not wait to see what you get. I'm thinking mine is going to get here to campus while I'm away on spring break (wahhh), but I will post pictures of what I get when I open it.

I've gotten two main questions when it comes to Rocksbox, so I thought I'd answer them via blog post for anyone who is wondering. I belong to an online style blogger society, and I asked some fellow members about their experience with the company. They've allowed me to share their posts with you, so that you can get a couple more opinions and learn some more about it.

Bri at Nuetral to Neon just did a post on Rocksbox! She explains how the system works to a T.

I loved Ada Advic's post on her blog about her experience with the company. 

Brenda Kelly shared her thoughts here on A La Page Style. 

When you order your Rocksbox, be sure to use the code cristinaoncampusxoxo for your first month free.

Happy shopping!
