Subscription Box Madness!

I am a huge fan of subscription boxes.  Mainly because I know that every month I'll get a box in the mail and the contents are a surprise!  Mmm fun and addicting!  But I'm also aware of my money and don't want to waste it on junk so I did a lot of research on choosing the subscription I want.

I chose Glossybox which offers 5 travel-sized beauty products for $21 a month.  I got in for the May box and it came with 6! products and a few of them looked bigger than "travel-size".  I haven't had a chance to sample any of the stuff yet but I'm excited for all of it, especially the Zoya nail polish and Phyto dry hair intense hydrating mask.  My hair is a damn mess and I don't know what to do with it right now.  I teased my Husband that I was gonna dye it pink and he laughed but I'm serious!  I'm in dire need of change but I hate wigs and weaves.  I hate my hair.  HATE.

Duke got lucky with his subscription box.  Veronica tweeted about Babbaboxes for a PENNY.  Now we're talking, perfect for my budget!  The products in Babbabox are great quality and creative but we haven't done any of the projects yet.  Summer just started and I want to to start them when we're more on a schedule.

I tried to just send you an e-mail, but my computer isn't hooked up to just click your button =(. Anyhow, Juniper Box is a new kid on the block. I'm getting my first one this coming Friday! http://www.getjuniper.com/ I used to live in Bellflower until I moved out to MN, so it's nice to meet a SoCal Blogger!!!
