About Me

I'm 39 years old & have been happily married for 17 years. I have a very active 11 year old boy who keeps me on the move when I'm not working.

How I Can Help

I'm a bit addicted to subscription boxes. Popsugar Must Have, FabFitFun, Burke Decor and Hello Fresh are my favorite subscriptions. I also really like receiving Graze, Boxycharm, Club Cosmetique and Ipsy. My son loves Sports Crate and he also really likes Awesome Pack and Loot Crate.

Interests

Family time, vacations and watching sports

BoxyCharm is $21 month make-up and beauty subscription box. It includes 5 to 6 mid-tier to high-end items. At least 4 items will be full-sized with the others being deluxe-sized.
I only wish was that BoxyCharm allowed for some customization. I find that on occasion I need to swap with others the items that don't work with my fair complexion.

Loot Crate is a $19.95 (including $6 shipping) monthly subscription box for geeks and gamers. The boxes are themed and it includes things like collectibles, t-shirts, buttons, and stickers. Recent themes have been: Cyber, Unite, Fantasy, Covert and Play. The last 3 themes have really been a miss for us, but we expect July's theme, Heroes 2, to be a better fit for our house. (Loot Crate's Aug. 2014 box theme was Heroes, which we really liked).
It seems like recently a lot of the items are Loot Crate exclusives, so it is often hard to price out. I also feel that the boxes now include a lot of small junk items instead of fewer quality items we used to receive. However my son still enjoys receiving this box, so I think we'll continue our subscription for a couple more months to see if it improves. Although I will say that we recently subscribed to Sports Crate which quickly became my husband and son's favorite subscription box.

The FabFitFun Box from FabFitFun.com is a quarterly subscription that costs $49.99 each quarter. (Although they usually run special offers each quarter)
Each box is sent seasonally (Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall) and includes $100+ worth of beauty, fashion and fitness items. Since I find that I have loved and have used almost everything I've received, I find the FFF box to be a great value.
The items are always great quality and I have found that I can easily gift or swap the few items that I received that really didn't interest me. For instance, I don't like to wear scarfs, but I was able to swap someone the scarf in the Spring 2015 box for a couple high-end items they didn't want from their Luxor Box. This is one of the few boxes I receive that have items that can be swapped for higher-end in other boxes.

I just received my 6th box and I can honestly say that so far I'm loving Graze. I really like the portion controlled snack packs and the weekly delivery to my office has been very convenient since I often find that I'm in need of a small snack late in the day.

I have really enjoyed almost all of the snacks that I've received thus far (they are quite yummy), and the ones I didn't enjoy I am able to select "Trash" on their site so I will never receive those items again in a future box. I also trashed all the snacks that I knew I wouldn't like when I placed the order for my free box. This way I never received a snack I wasn't interested in at least trying.

I had no issues signing up. I thought it was very clear that by signing up for the free box I was also signing up for recurring weekly or bi-weekly shipments (I chose weekly). I also like that I can suspend shipments if I know I will be away and can resume delivery once I return. I haven't tried cancelling since I am currently enjoying my subscription, so I can't offer any insight into the process.

This is an okay subscription service. You get a lot of the same types of items no matter what...
