5 Subscription Services You CAN'T Live Without!

5 Subscription Services You Can't Live Without

1. Fabletics

__________________________

Price: $50 a month, but that can also vary on what outfits you choose. 

Box Type: Athletic/Swimwear

How It Works:

You take a pop quiz so they can get an idea of your sense of style. You shop your cart & you checkout!

How Flexible VIP works:

When you become apart of the VIP program you will save up to 50% off regular pricing and earn points. You can skip a month if you choose if you don't see anything you like in particular that month. You can also cancel at anytime if you don't like the VIP part of the subscription. 

What's great about Fabletics is you can choose some really great athletic wear, but a lot of the clothing is so comfy you won't want to take them off. You can just lounge around as well without feeling like you're suffocating like other athletic wear. They also offer a good variety of swimwear and accessories as well. 

Right now they're doing a deal where you can get 2 pairs of leggings for $24 when you become a VIP. I mean can you imagine finding this great of quality at this price that's comfortable, breathable, and cute? 

Some of my favorites are: 

Kenzie Sports Bra

Petal Capri

CYAN

"It's casual, chic, and affordable and there's something for every body type." -Kate Hudson

I really love Fabletics. I'm not one to vigorously workout because I have cancer and that does slow me down a bit, but I do love to walk and hike often. Other workout gear I've bought from high-end to even lower end companies have never compared to Fabletics. The clothes are comfortable and I don't feel as though I'm suffocating as I've felt in the past trying other work-out gear. I've had some of my Fabletics outfits for a long time with minimal wear. It's great to receive my clothes monthly due to the fact that it also gives me the motivation to work out because I want to actually wear the clothes out. I also love the cute outfit designs and fabrics. There shipping has always been great and the only one time I had an issue - Customer service was also just as fantastic and super sweet to me.

2. Scentbird

__________________________

Price: $14.95 a month

Box Type: Perfume Subscription

Scentbird is a monthly fragrance subscription service. Each month you will receive an 8 ml purse spray of any fragrance of your choice (enough perfume to apply daily for a whole month) along with a custom perfume atomizer which arrives in your first box to protect your perfume. Scentbird has over 300 fragrances to choose from and if you opt not make a selection they will send you their monthly featured scent.

Scentbird ships on the 15th of the month.  If you subscribe before the 5th of the month your package will ship on the 15th of that month. If you subscribe after the 5th your package will ship the following month. The price is only $14.95 a month.

You take a survey which looks like this below that will determine a match of fragrances you can choose from although I believe you can choose fragrance you would like for that month.

Here is what the perfume looks like open. It’s really easy to swap out your vials too.  You just twist the atomizer and pull the vial out from the top.  When you aren’t using it, you twist the vial the other way and you can throw it in your purse and not have to worry about it spraying or emptying in your bag like traditional perfumes.

What I love about Scentbird:

• The twist atomizer is easy to use and functions well. Not messy like when you put a regular perfume in your purse. I've had my perfumes leak many times while just throwing it in my purse.
• I love that I can get the same use out of it that I would a roller ball.
• It lasts a long time and I can choose which scent I want each month so that I don't get bored with one fragrance. 
• You have the option to sign up month by month or you can do the multiple month subscription options. They offer 3-months, 6-month and 12- month subscriptions along with a gift option as well.
• The price is only $14.95 a month which is a great price for the amount you receive. 

I received the scent "Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture" and I absolutely loved it! I've tried a lot of the perfumes by Juicy Couture and I've loved pretty much every one of them. You can choose from id say hundreds of fragrances so chances are you'll find your scent!

3. Ipsy 

                  __________________________

Price: $10 a month. 

Box Type: Makeup Subscription

How It Works!

Upon signing up, you fill out a brief beauty quiz about what types of makeup you love and would like to receive, your features (eye color, skin type, etc.) and what brands you’d like to try out. Many brands they list are common, but there are some I’ve never heard of.

You get billed the first of each month and your glam bag is sent in the middle of the month. Unlike Stitch Fix, where it allows you the option to schedule boxes at will, Ipsy automatically schedules one every month and you must cancel on your own when you want to stop receiving bags. You get to keep everything that comes in the bag.

Each month’s bag features different products and a different theme, but subscribers mostly receive the same or similar products each month. For example, my bag might be the same as someone else, or it might have a few of the same and a few different items inside.

I really prefer Ipsy over other leading beauty boxes due to the fact I get to try out name brands as well as indie brands. I've been subscribed for years and yes the box I've felt had months I've thought "Meh", but that's very few months I've felt that way out of the 3 years I've been subscribed. 

What types of items do you get from Ipsy?

4. Love With Food

_________________________

Price: Starts at $7.99 a month.

Box Type: Food Subscription

What's in a In Love With Food box?

Here is a sample of what I got:

  I love the 'Love With Food' box and I was really impressed with what I got for $7.99 a month. A lot of the products I had never heard of. I shared the box with my husband and he and I both love it. It's very heartfelt that they donate a meal to a hungry child as well as some of the products the companies also donate as well for different charities and that to me is very important. Also, the fact that the food was really good and foods that I maybe wouldn't have tried is a plus as well. I like trying different foods and different things and if you are up for trying something new try 'Love With Food'.

5.  BATTLBOX

_________________________

Price: Varies from $34.57 to $293.02

Box Type: Survival

The Battlbox comes with a ton of must-have items! A lot of the items are great to take on a hike with you, an outdoors trip, or to just have in the home as a just in case thing. I've already used a ton of the items from the kit. We've used the Pine Pitch Fire Starters to light fires for our bon-fire.  Having those "Just In Case" items around the home are great to have in case of emergencies. You just never know with this day and age. My husband works as a mechanic and in a auto-parts junk yard so he is always around a ton of snakes so having a snake bite kit I received is great. I feel safer knowing it's around although if you do get bit by a snake it's better to go to a hospital if poisonous that's obvious, but having the kit none the less makes me feel a lot better.

Which box can you get?

BattlBox BASIC

You have chosen Battlbox Basic. At this level, you will receive 2-4 hand selected items each month, ranging from survival tools and manuals, to emergency supplies and edc gear. Part of the surprise is you never know what you will get! It’s like Christmas once a month, so be on the lookout for your Battlbox in the mail. Each box contains a card describing the items you have received, how to use them, where to buy them, and the retail price. Don’t forget to follow us on all social media to keep up to date with discounts, product previews and reviews, and videos. (Georgia sales tax applied to Georgia residents)

$24.99

BattlBox ADVANCED

$49.99

BattlBox PRO

This box is for the serious professional. Not only will you get the products included in each monthly BASIC, and ADVANCED package, but you will receive an additional 1-2 additional kickass products (approx 8-10 total).

Ahnu Waterproof Coburn

Ahnu Coburn Style Boots

This mid-height hiking boot is equipped with a breathable eVent waterproof bootie, wicking away moisture for optimal foot comfort. Tough, full-grain and waterproof leathers create a modern take on a classic silhouette. This rugged hiker is designed to provide athletic underfoot performance with all terrain lugs for go anywhere comfort.

Designed for:

• Hiking
• Backpacking
• Wet and dry weather conditions

Product Details

• Durable, waterproof leathers and rubber toe protector

• Numentum® Hike technology is engineered to center and guide the foot to promote balance when traversing trails
• High density EVA plugs are supported with external struts on both the medial and lateral sides of the heel
• Non-marking, self-cleaning lugs for ultimate grip and traction

I received the Ahnu Waterproof "Coburn" Style Hiking boots for my husband and he absolutely LOVES them. From the moment we opened them to the time he put them on it was a perfect match for him. He works really hard and is on his feet all day long and he really needed a pair of boots that would handle all of that wear and tear. We also from time to time like to go hiking over at the local caves "Carter Caves" and we love to go this time of year so these were definitely needed. When he first put them on he couldn't believe how lighter they were compared to his old boots that were to be honest falling apart and could talk because the flaps were so badly falling off. These boots are lighter, but well constructed. He said the boots fit true to size and that the soles were very soft to walk in. He likes that it has a lot of give to them so that when he walks it feels as though he's got a comfort insole inside although he doesn't. I even tried them on to walk around in to see what he was talking about and I really loved how comfortable they were. As you can see in the pictures with the dirty pants he'd been working in his shoes all day, but they hardly got dirty and were easily wiped away when they got dirt on them. We just wiped the off for the pictures and I didn't feel as though they would stain easily or that the dirt would stay on the outsides for very long. After the dirt dried we just used a dry cloth to wipe it away and it came right off. My husband likes the high heel because it supports his ankles. His heel surprisingly didn't blister from working a lot of days either. With his old boots he would take off his shoes and he would be blistered by the end of the day. These boots have definitely become a staple for my husband and they've really helped his feet be HAPPY FEET! I would recommend these if you are looking for a great pair of hiking boots or work boots. Ahnu shoes also carry women's style shoes as well. I will be posting a review for some women's shoes soon.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins are available at Walmart and Walgreens. Price: $6.51

I got these spin pins before I got my hair chopped off so I had about shoulder length hair with layers I thought id try these out and they actually work quite well. I only have one spin pin in my hair in the picture above and it held my hair quite nicely. If you want to do a half updo which is what I do now that I have short hair it works as well. These are very cute and stylish and feels a lot better than have bundles of bobby-pins in your hair. Of course I just through mine up in the picture because I was cleaning, but still with a little bit more neatness and id be ready to walk out the door with a snazzy do! I have thin hair and it held my hair - Id say it would hold just as well with thick hair. I'm glad I received the dark color. You can barely see them in your hair which is what I love - the only reason you can see them in the photo so well is I had my husband use flash as I was in the kitchen cleaning and I told him to snap a picture. I had been wearing it for hours with little to no budge at all - some of my stray pieces of hair was sticking out, but that's the perks of layers!

Ahnu Serena Textile USA Sandals

Ahnu Serena Textile USA Sandals

Ahnu’s favorite darling, the Serena, gets a fresh new summer-inspired update. This stylish thong is crafted in the USA from imported materials and a vegan construction. The woven textile upper provides striking texture and color and adorned with a decorative button, so it can easily be dressed up or down with its effortless slip-on design. Beyond appearances, the microsuede wrapped EVA footbed provides a contoured fit, while delivering incredible comfort and support for your everyday.

• Made in USA from imported materials
• 100% animal-free, vegan construction
• Woven textile upper
• Hidden gore system along the straps allows for easy entry and perfect fit
• Contoured EVA midsole for lightweight support and cushioning
• Non-marking carbon rubber outsole

I've been rocking the Ahnu Women's Serena Textile USA style shoes. When I first laid eyes on these shoes with their design I knew I had to have them. I love the different blues in the textile style and the star design on the soles. When they arrived I couldn't believe how light these shoes are. They practically weigh nothing. They are very light. Although it looks as though it would be velcro on the sides it doesn't have velcro you just slide your feet right in. When walking in these shoes it's almost like walking on clouds. First of all I have low arches in my feet. I definitely need a shoe with a higher arch to help with my feet aching all of the time. The Ahnu Serena's have a higher arch as you can see. You can see how red my feet were from my other shoes by the picture of me trying on these shoes, but when I walked on these shoes it was like pure heaven. The soles are very cushy. The top of the shoes have a stretch to them so when you walk they mold with your feet. It feels almost like you have nothing on your feet which I love. Sometimes when I'm in my Dr's offices or appointments I find myself slipping off my shoes. I know ew, but I do because my feet hurt so bad, but with these shoes where it feels like nothing I don't have that problem anymore. For sandals they have a good bottom grip as well. Some sandals feel as though you might slip and fall, but Ahnu really stepped up their game with a nice gripping bottoms to the shoes. I've already gotten tons of compliments on these shoes of people asking where I got them. They love the little stars as I do on the soles. If you are looking for a good light sandal I do suggest Ahnu or any of Ahnu's line of shoes. They also carry men's shoes as well. You can check out my review for the Ahnu's Men's Coburn Hiking boots I done previously on my blog!

Purell Product Review

Purell Products Review

I found out I have Leukemia in May of last year and I was surprised by everything I have to do to maintain my health and to stay healthy in general. While I'm on my chemo I have to be very careful and keep myself and objects around me clean. I've always been a huge fan of Purell. We've always bought the large pumps like pictured above and the clip on hand sanitizers. I didn't know they came out with the wipes you can carry around and wipes to clean off surfaces. I'm so happy they did so we can sanitize all of our phones, keyboards, and all surfaces in our home. That is exactly what we've been doing too. We've been cleaning all of our stuff off each time we use it so I don't catch anything because my immune system is very weak right now I have to keep things clean. I love the clip on hand sanitizers. I gave my little cousins some, but my Mom and I use most of them. In fact we've already used almost all of them. I'm re-filling mine up with the pumps right now so that I still have hand sanitizer with me at all times. I bet I use them a hundred times a day so we go through them fast. It's good to have Purell for your children and yourself in general. Places and things are filled with germs so we want to keep those away to prevent colds!
