endless jewelry with Rocksbox.

as i sit here looking up a my jewelry board, i'm reminded of all the necklaces i once loved but simply outgrew. i'm reminded of money spent on jewelry i liked but didn't love. 

if this sounds familiar to you, i'm about to introduce you to the best $19 you'll possibly spend every month. $19 a month with Rocksbox gets you access to unlimited designer jewelry. after taking a style survey, you'll receive a Rocksbox with three designer pieces to try before you buy. wear them as long as you like or return them as often as you like for a new set of three. if there's something you can't live without, simply keep it, return the rest, and you'll be billed a discounted price for being a Rocksbox Shine Insider! 

in addition, you'll also get a monthly $10 Shine credit that you can use toward the purchase of items you wish to keep. score!

if you are interested in building up your jewelry collection with quality pieces, Rocksbox is a great way to try out different styles from established and emerging designers, then purchase the pieces you truly love.

if you're the non-committal type and just love having new jewelry to wear, Rocksbox gives you access to an endless rotating jewelry closet. your friends will be envious of all your "new" goodies.

POPSUGAR Must Have Box. August.

[POPSUGAR provided me with this Must Have box;

all opinions and squeals of excitement are 100% mine.]

POPSUGAR Must Have subscription boxes never disappoint. you're surprised each month with a box of full-sized, premium products for only $39.95. sometimes you even get a special extra product in your Must Have box.

inspired by celebration, summer nights, and sweet smells, i can honestly say that i will enjoy everything in this august box.

here's what was in my august box:

1) Kendra Scott Elisa Necklace in Black Cat's Eye

2) Paddywax Ocean Tide + Sea Salt Mini Jar Candle

3) Goodbyn Purple Meal and Dipper Set

4) The Mason Jar Cookie Company Celebrate!

5) Lollia At Last Perfumed Shower Gel

6) Bite Beauty Lush Fruit Lip

special extra:

7) thinkThin Brownie Crunch High Protein Bar

you can find more information on each product here.

i normally don't indulge in shower gels, so i love receiving them. this one from Lollia smells sweet...i can't wait to try it!

how pretty is this kendra scott necklace? this delicate piece makes a great addition to my collection of necklaces. the dainty black cat's eye adds oomph to a few gold strands.

lately, mini-she and i have been fighting over the one lunch container we have, so this one from Goodbyn came at the right time! love the little dipper container...it's perfect for my salad dressings.

see it in action here.

it doesn't get any easier than a ready-to-bake cookie mix! how fun is this Celebrate! mix from The Mason Jar Cookie Company? the minis will love this!

i love Bite Beauty products, so i was ecstatic to find this Bite Beauty lip gloss in my must have box.. this new shade was created just for POPSUGAR Must Have's second birthday.

this pretty candle in a jar from Paddywax is definitely one for the vanity. it looks good, smells good, and the blue just reminds you of the ocean.

i was happy to find this thinkThin protein bar in my box. i just finished off a box of these and have been loving them as a post-workout snack...every little bit of protein counts!

POPSUGAR must have box.

i love the idea of subscription boxes. the thought of getting surprise goodies delivered to your door every month is exciting. there are so many products out there, i sometimes have no idea what to try or where to find them...and you may never know a company existed until its product is given to you. in addition, subscription boxes make wonderful gifts.

i was lucky to receive POPSUGAR's Must Have box for november which exceeded my expectations of a monthly box. the contents of this box were full-sized and themed for the holiday season.

the box was packed nicely and filled to the brim with goods.

what's in the box?

1) Michael Stars Folk Art Wrap (buy)

2) Illume "Nice" Candle (on sale! buy)

3) Land's End Single Canvas Wine Tote (buy)

4) Maison de Monaco Strawberry and Blackberry Cream Preserves

5) The Soap & Paper Factory Roland Pine Shea Butter Soap

6) Absolute! Nail Polish Remover Pads (buy)

7) Barefruit Crunchy Sea Salt Caramel Apple Chips (buy)

8) CanvasPop $30 gift card

you can find more information on each product here.

i tore this open right away. i really wanted to like these caramel apple crisps because i love fruit snacks, and the caramel + apples sounded yummy and festive for the holidays. while i liked the crunch and chewiness (when i came across a caramel bit), it tasted like, eek, hate to say this, but...cardboard? great idea for a flavor combination, not so great execution. i'd love to try other flavors.

i was most excited about this wrap. it's huge and soft and warm, and i appreciated its neutral colors. it's this wrap that made november's must have box totally worth it.

i have yet to try the rest of the products, but i love the subtle pine scent of the soap and the 'nice' sweet smell of the candle. 

i look forward to trying these nail polish remover pads, because the bottle + cotton balls can get messy. and this canvaspop gift card will be put to good use; my niece has been taking tons of pictures at the beach so that we can print them out and use them as artwork to decorate the beach house.
