Subscription Box Reviews

If you read my last post about my JLH box you’ll recall I joked I’d get it in August. NO JOKE First of all my first box hadn’t even arrived (ordered in April) and I was charged for June’s box on May 30th.

I finally got a hold of a human and she gave me the canned I’m so sorry speech and we’ll send it out straight way. 21 days later it showed up. :-/ Once again not impressed with my box. I will NEVER order from Fancy again.

Here is what I waited eons for…

 

 

 

 

Babycakes Waffle Stick Maker (I do like this I’ll admit and it will get used by other members of my household)

PINK Nylon Pack Cloth Gym Bag

Book ~ Cupcakes and Cashmere by Emily Schuman

Interlink Hematite Cuff. Doesn’t fit my fat wrists. 🙁

 

 

I paid for this box on my own and my sour opinions are 100% mine. ~D

 

Pretty Power Box is a brand new box that launched June 1st. It’s all about empowering the female entrepreneur.

The mission of Pretty Power Box is to encourage young female entrepreneurs to live a healthy work-life balance. In each box you’ll find entrepreneurial/office items, beauty items, healthy choice items, and items made from small business. Each box will be a combination of popular name brand items as well as items from smaller businesses.

Price: $15

 

 

 

I love their super cute boxes. They are handmade and totally reusable.

Pretty Power Box Pen. I love how these write!

A plastic business card holder from Staples

(2) Coast of Eden Vanilla Mint Lip Balm

Jenny Bean Beautiful Vanilla Scented Candle

N4You Soaps ~ Beach Breezes & Apricot Freesia

 

Once again I’m loving this box. Just a heads up though if you want to order, they don’t do reoccurring payments. You have to go to the website and order every month. For that reason I missed July. 🙁

I paid for this box and all opinions are my own. ~D

 

I never thought I’d open an Eco-Emi box and go BLAH. It felt like something was missing. I’m not too bummed. I still LOVE this subscription and all my boxes have been exceptional until now.

So here is my loot.

Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chip Mini Cookies by Home Free Treat These were YUMMY

Raw Organic Walnut Butter by Artisana Can’t wait to try this!

Cafe Machiatto Body Oil by Valenti Organics

 

 

Carrot, Grapefruit & Egyptian Geranium Rose Body Lotion by Valenti Organics
