It's been a while...

Happy Saturday!

It's been a while since I posted, I got a little overwhelmed with all the subscriptions I was getting since this was new to me. I've since made some updates to my subscriptions and will try to be better! Below is an updated list of the subs I've tried, will be trying or want to try;

Pop Sugar Must Haves;
I was subscribed to this for December 2012, January 2013 and February 2013. I enjoyed this sub since it was a nice mix of "lifestyle" items but decided to cancel it to try out some others. Thankfully I wasn't too impressed with the March box. Right now there are some good promo codes out there;  Use GET$10 to get $10 off a 3-month sub and GET$25 to get $25 off a 6-month sub!!!Please use my referral link if signing up;http://popsu.gr/EAI

SeasonsBox
I was subscribed to this for January-March 2013. I LOVE this subscription and here's why;
-Full Size Products
-Value higher than you're paying and for me, these are items I actually use
-Lovely packaging (that could be reused for gifts)
-The option to "skip" a month
-The option to purchase items from past boxes
-Great customer service 
-Preview of the items in each month's box

This is a pricier subscription service but it has been my favorite so far. While I haven't continued my subscription, it's only because my birthday is in April and I've already asked my husband for a 3 or 6 month subscription. I've just really enjoyed/used the products in this box, had great customer service and I like that you get to preview the items with the option to skip. They just made improvements to the "my account" page, making their service even better. I highly recommend; http://curebit.com/x/CZ0zf 

Hammock Pack
I was subscribed to this for January-March 2013. I was not happy with the January or February box. March was better, but I will not be continuing with this subscription.The items in this box tend to be from Etsy and I love that you're supporting those types of sellers, but in general you're usually getting items worth about the same as you've paid and for me personally they aren't items I would have bought.

KlutchClub;
This is a fitness box that I'd been interested in. I signed up for the "best of valentines box" using a great coupon where I paid only $8.00. While the items were interesting, I didn't continue with this but continue to receive their e-mails/promotions


Starlooks;
My first "beauty/makeup" box. I won a free February box (review coming later). I loved the items in this box and the price/customer service/reviews are great. Right now I'm overloaded with makeup, but this is one I may try in the future

Yuzen
A mixture of beauty, food, and home items, I signed up for Yuzen when they announced they were going quarterly, with my first box arriving in February. I can't really judge this one yet since I've only gotten one box, but I like that it's quarterly and I've enjoyed trying the deluxe sized items so far.


In the coming months...

Pawalla;
A pet subscription for all you crazy animal people (like myself!). I ordered the April Standard Pawalla box for my two kitties using a referral link for $6.50 off. I later referred a co-worker and in turn got $15 back, SWEET! I can't wait to get my first box. Check out my link to get $6.50 off ; http://curebit.com/x/paoAj  There's also a great deal on fab.com right now for either a 1 month standard subscription box or three months of their mini version.

Love with Food; 
I signed up for this one with a coupon code (expired) to pay only $2. This will be my first food sub and I'm excited about it, especially knowing that for each box they donate a meal to a hungry child. I also got a deal on fab.com for another month and paid only $2 when combined with $5 in fab credit.

FabFitFun;
This is another "pop sugar" type subscription with it's first box coming out this month. Seems like this will be more beauty related but I'm hoping as they start to customize I can get some fitness items. I signed up using a $10 off coupon code and the promise of Moroccan Oil. This is another quarterly sub which I enjoy more than monthly subs. My first box should be arriving next week, I'll definitely stick around to see at least the summer box and then decide if I'm keeping it.

ConsciousBox;
A natural beauty/food product box, I got this using a coupon so I only paid $1.00. I've read mixed reviews but for the price I couldn't say no.

Subs I'd like to try...

The Jungle Stand; Another food box that gives you a "tasting" experience. For only $9.92 with free shipping, I'm sure I'll try this at some point


TwistBand Club; I got a twistband in my KlutchClub box and LOVED it! For only $10 a month I was thinking of doing a three month sub, but I'm holding out for now, hoping for a coupon

TheFancy.com ; I've seen mixed reviews of this one but I thought their food sub looked interesting, it's pricey so I probably won't subscribe

My Cotton Bunny or Juniper; Both of these are Time of the Month boxes that I think seem cute. Don't know if I'll ever try them but I've seen reviews and like both of them

The Homegrown Collective; My husband is a landscape architect and loves everything related to gardening, the yard etc so this would be ideal for him. I looked at some past boxes and I know he'd love some, one day I'll order!
