The POPSUGAR Must Have box has always been a subscription box I've wanted to try.  I was constantly envious of any blogger who posted what they received in their boxes.  Finally, in July, I gave in and I'm so glad I did.  Unfortunately, life has been a little hectic so I never got around to reviewing my July box, but I hope this review makes up for it! The best part about this monthly subscription box is that it includes items from so many different categories.  This is seriously the most practical and amazing subscription box I've ever received. The box is $39.95 a month and if you use coupon code MUSTHAVE5, you can save $5 off of your first box.  If you're interested in signing up please do so with my  referral link !  Also, if you have an ebates account, you can earn $5 while making the purchase through ebates.  If you don't have ebates, I highly suggest signing up using my referral link to get cash back on an unbelievable amount of online...

It's been a while since I've actually opted to receive a monthly Julep box.  I had been skipping my boxes due to financial reasons and I'm also more of a summer color kind of girl, so I had been waiting to get out of the dreary winter months for some fun items!  Typically, you receive around 3 items in your Julep box, but this month I added on 3 items and then received a bonus item for my add-ons.  Somehow I had enough Jules saved up to end up spending less than the cost of the subscription! If you aren't familiar with Julep Maven, it is another subscription box service that sends you nail polish or other beauty items depending on what you choose to receive.  Julep makes very high quality products so I highly suggest it!  It's $24.99 a month and you have the option to skip each month.  You can get your first box for free using the code SUMMER (you just have to pay the $2.99 shipping fee).  Please use my referral link to take advantage of this aw...

After waiting what seemed like forever, my June Birchbox finally arrived.  Although, I had already peeked when my items were revealed on the 10th of the month, I still always get excited to receive it!   If you aren't familiar with Birchbox, it's a monthly beauty subscription box where you received 4-6 sample items based on the profile information you fill out when you sign up.  It's only $10 a month and if you sign up now, you can use the code SUBSCRIBENOW50 to receive 50 points when you sign up ($5 to spend in the Birchbox shop).  So if you haven't done it already, please use my referral link to sign up! This month there were 3 different boxes you could receive.  Mine says "next stop adventure."  I think I would have liked this better if I could currently afford to go on an adventure.  Side note: I don't like to write negative things, but I will say this is the least favorite of the special boxes from 2015. This month's theme was ...

I feel like I'm ALWAYS the last person in the world to get my Birchbox .  I've been constantly stalking everyone else's reviews of their June box while I wait for mine to be delivered.  Rather than give into my jealousy and spend my Saturday doing that and tracking the shipping information that I know won't be changing every 5 seconds, I decided to blog about my most recent Birchbox purchases! For my one year anniversary, Birchbox gave me a 25% off coupon so I decided to use up my points and the coupon to get just a few things I had on my mind!  For every $1 you spend in the Birchbox shop, you get 1 reward point.  In addition, you can get 10 reward points for each product you review in your monthly Birchbox (typically around 5-6 products) PLUS 10 points for sharing your Birchbox on Facebook each month!  If you haven't already signed up for a Birchbox subscription, please use my referral link to sign up and take advantage of their awesome point syst...

I'll go ahead and admit I became a horrible blogger (my last post was in October....).  However, in my defense, I've had A LOT going on the last several months.  Let's just say that graduating law school, taking the bar, finding a job, finding a place to live, and basically all of my income going straight to student loans has been quite the adjustment.  I'll spare you all from the details and get to the real point of the first of many more posts to come as I get back into my regular blogging routine! Apparently, it's been a year since I subscribed to Birchbox !  I didn't even realize it until I received the Anniversary Key Chain from them.  So I thought, what better way to revive my blog than to write about my second May Birchbox ! This month, there was the option for a curated box by Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere .  However, I didn't opt for the curated box because I like to have somewhat of a surprise :)  The May Box is supposed ...

Happy  Birchbox  reveal day!   If you're like me, you love the 10th of every month because it means you get to take a sneak peek to see what will be in your Birchbox for that month.  Some subscribers are lucky enough to receive their box before this day, but the rest of us have to wait.  I'm too impatient to ever wait until I get my actual box so I always ruin the surprise.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please use my referral link and sign up for Birchbox to receive 4-5 deluxe sample size beauty products each month. Here's a screenshot of the products I'm receiving for October.  I didn't think that Birchbox would be able to compete with last month, but I'm thrilled to see that they didn't let me down!  I'm excited to be receiving 6 products because that means I'll get 60 Birchbox points for my review, which is $6 for the Birchbox shop! For this month's sample choice, I picked the  ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick  in ...

I'll go ahead and admit that I've been a horrible blogger recently.  Starting a new job has been really stressful, but I'm happy to say that I love my job.  I think its a really great fit for me and its such a great change from law school.  Plus its really helped me to get out of my comfort zone by having to answer the phones and deal with people who aren't always the nicest.  For the first time in my life, I finally feel like I've started a new path doing something I like rather than doing something that is just teaching me what I don't want to spend my life doing :) Anyway, now that I'm getting used to my new routine, I should be back to blogging more.  I figured the best way to celebrate my return to the blogging world would be to do a much belated review of September's Birchbox! For those of you who are unfamiliar with  Birchbox , it is a monthly subscription service that typically sends you 4-5 samples of beauty products for only $10...

Happy Monday!  This is my first month receiving an  Ipsy Glam Bag  so I'm excited to share with you guys my first thoughts!  I've seen thousands of pictures of those pink packages everyone gets so ecstatic about in the mail so I couldn't wait to open my first one!  Ipsy is just $10 a month and you receive 4-5 deluxe beauty samples.  Also, once you receive your bag, you can log into your account and each product that Ipsy features that month has links to coupons, which I think is great.  Ipsy also tries to customize bags to your preferences with a beauty quiz you take before signing up.  If you like my review, please use my  referral link  to sign up for next month! So here it is...the famous Ipsy mailer bag.  I know this is going to be a shock because its pink, but I hate this bag.  Maybe I'm just not a fan of metallics, but I think its a bit tacky and it kind of made me feel like I had just walked into Party City.  ...
