Lola Review : cotton tampons
I got a free month of Lola tampons through last month’s Pop Sugar box. I figured I would give it a try because, hey, tampons ain’t cheap. (You can get your first two-box order for $9 on their site.) The concept is they send you 100% cotton tampons in your chosen variety of light, regular and… Continue reading

Walmart Beauty Box : Spring 2016
Here’s another Walmart Beauty Box! They’re “free” ($5 shipping per quarter) and they now let you choose from one of two beauty profiles. They automatically chose “trendsetter” for me, since I was at the time under 30. The millennials, they love trends! I’ve gone on and on about why I love this box, but it really… Continue reading

Peaches and Petals : January 2016
My boyfriend was disappointed that there weren’t any peaches in the box. I have to say, that would’ve beat what I got. Peaches and Petals describes itself thusly: “Experience our world of fun, flirty and fashionable vintage-modern lifestyle in a hand-curated box delivered to you each month.” Every box I checked out was accessories and… Continue reading

Birchbox January 2016: Korean Beauty
So this was one of those boxes that “spoiled” the entire contents before it was released. I was super excited about the theme, so I jumped on it. As KRo and I discussed in the comments on a previous post, Birchbox always set itself off on the completely wrong foot with me. I had to wait–I… Continue reading

Popsugar Must Have Box : December 2015
Y’all know I love the PopSugar Box. I accidentally failed to take a picture of the box in the midst of the holiday rush. You’ll forgive me, right? LUV AJ Ombre Plated Bracelet ($65 value – similar pictured) – Oh my goshhhhh this is so chunky. So chunky and too short for my chunky wrist.… Continue reading

Walmart Box: Winter 2015
I continue to love the Wal-Mart box! The sample sizes are big enough to be a real treat. I know my expectations of this box are significantly lower than of the other subscriptions I’ve tried, but I owe that to the fact that Wal-Mart never tried to ratchet up my expectations. This month? I was… Continue reading

I heart Trader Joe’s : Review of some TJ’s buys
It’s no secret that Trader Joe’s holds a special place in my heart. Since we got our first a couple years ago, my boyfriend and I end up making a trip every couple months. Without fail, we drop $25 on delicious, delicious goodies. A few things we’ve picked up recently: Matcha Green Tea Latte ($3.99… Continue reading
