A year of Birchbox (Women's Box)-Review #Birchboxbrag

Okay, so I am was a subscription addict last year and seemed to want all of them for awhile.  During that time I found Birchbox and LOVED it!  I had the Women's Box and I even got The Mr. the Man Box.  We had them both for a year and here's what great things came in the Women's Box for a year.

Women's Box for January 2015:


The theme for January 2015 was:  "Let's Do This."

The samples:

5.  PARLOR by Jeff Chastain:  Moisturizing Sea Spray 

Favorite item:  

I also upgraded my Birchbox for this month just to try out the upgraded items.  I added on the W&P and Royal Rose Cocktail Kit-(no longer available).  I mainly was interested in the shaker and I am so glad I upgraded to it.  The syrups weren't all that mind blowing, but they did taste nice in lemonade.  I used the Rose in the lemonade mix, the Lavender Lemon in some lavender cookies I made, and the Jasmine flavor still sits in my fridge.  I haven't figured out a way to utilize it yet, but I am sure I will find a way soon.

I also purchased the Home Sweet Homespun Box-(no longer available), too.  The box contained a lot of fun items and I was very pleased with the box.

The Products:  
1.  Momofuku Milk Bar:  Cornflake-Chocolate-Chip Marshmallow Cookie Mix
2.  Soak:  Handmaid Luxury Hand Creme in fig scent
3.  Makerskit:  Hanging Photo Clips Complete Project Kit

5.  Askinosie Chocolate:  Single Origin Sipping Chocolate
6.  Cowshed:  Lippy Cow Natural Lip Balm
7.  Richer Poorer:  Socks
8.  Illume:  Mini Tin Soy Candle

Favorite item:  
So many great products in this box, it is probably my favorite thing from Birchbox.  It's a toss up between the Illume Mini Tin Soy Candle in currant scent and the Soak Handmaid Luxury Hand Creme in fig scent.



The box also came with a three-flip card on how to make your home cozy:
• How to take photos worthy of your mantel.
• Secrets of a stress-free hostess.
• 5 ways to warm up a frigid day.

I just love it all!
