Love the design this month- featuring Women Owned businesses!

The Gift:


Silver and Stone Bracelet: Bonjour Jolie honestly confuses me... how are the able to send such great stuff each month without going bankrupt!?! I mean, I initially thought some of the pampering products were this month's featured item (the gift) since they were so nice. How do you do it? First off, THANK YOU Bonjour Jolie for sending out silver!!! I get so much gold from companies and, well, I never know what to do with it- I could sell or trade it but I end up just giving it away in hopes of finding it a good home! Anyway, this is super cute using alpaca silver and precious stones by women in Peru! Price: $14

The Pampering:


Sometimes I don't show the cute bags they use to contain the giant mass of stuff I receive each month so here ya go!


Happy Hands Lotion: I love having little to go lotions for trials and to throw in my purse (I rarely use lotion on-the-go so foil packets are easier than a whole bottle). Haven't tried these yet but I love that there are no parabens! Always striving for natural! Price: $1



Beazer's Garden- Herbal Hand Scrub: Thank goodness this was in a ziplock- scrubs always leak (well, most of the time) so I'm glad this one didn't get on anything. The oils are just being themselves, it's not their fault they leak! Anyway, I randomly got a few hand scrubs this month (something I don't normally get) but I'm not complaining since I love a good hand scrub- I normally give myself manis so this makes it more of an experience instead of just globbing paint all over my hands! Price: $2


Sensibles Sanitary Bags: I know tampons are the scourge of the earth but pads are bulky and not my thing and try and convince me all you want but me and the diva cup are never gonna be friends! Can't handle it. The thing is, I am that environmentally conscious person. I'm the one who takes papers home from places (including other people's throw offs) when there isn't a recycling bin so I can recycle them on my own. So, I thank Bonjour Jolie for sending me this. I swear I will try! No more destroying the sewer system! Price: $1


Barefoot Apothecary- Herbal Bath Salts: I love bath salts. The end. We just re-decorated our bathroom  with shelving for candles and a storage place for all the bath salts, bubbles, scents, etc that you're heart can desire. I love me some bathtime so this works in great. Love this scent too! Price: $1


Scaredy Cat Cosmetics- Mineral Eye Shadow: I honestly thought this trial vial was this month's gift at first. It's adorable and is 100% ready to go! Sponge applicators as definitely not preferable to brushes (trust me, ladies, move on to real brushes if haven't yet- I know a ton who haven't!) but as a travel brush this is perfect AND it does have a brush as well. I really like the color and this brand is free of all the crap you don't want on your face! Price: $1.50

The Protection:


So last month, I received strange looking tampons- they were actually fine and I liked the packaging design and easy disposal, but stated before I was confused to not get my preference! Alert! Bonjour Jolie was working with Tampax Radiant to try out their new product- they sent e-mails out but I never received mine- they apologized for it- even though it wasn't needed since it worked for me AND computers can make dumb mistakes so it's no worry at all! They asked if I'd like Pearl or Radiants this month aka they were attentive! Anyway, I got an array of schtuff. Price: $8


Advil: Unexciting, but useful. Price: 0.50

The Edibles:


Yes!


Just Add Honey Tea Company: Maybe it's my love of simplicity but I love this packaging! It's like, "I'm tea, drink me, the end." CJ and I can't get enough tea and we have our new awesome Iced Tea dispenser that is draining our tea supply (in a good way). My fav part is the temp and timing on the packets. Who does that? Win. Price: $3.50



Leccare Lollipops: Shut your face. Shut your face! These were sooo crazy good! I got an amazing lollipop in a box a few months ago (Treatsie?) and so when I saw these gourmet beauties I was stoked. I immediately popped the Raspberry Lemon Creme one in my mouth. IMMEDIATELY! And omg it was drool-worthy. I let CJ try a lick of each (eww) and that was it. They were mine! Peach cobbler, which isn't my thing usually, was amazing as well. I know Salted Watermelon went out too and I'm sure it rocked people's faces off as well. Woah. Amazing. One of the best things I got the entire month! Price: $3


Verdict: I received about $35.50 in goods from this $16 (plus shipping) box. Score. That's about double and it's amazing! I got such great samples from the pampering and the lollipops made my day. Seriously, I NEEDED a treat that day and voila- deliciousness! I 100% recommend this box- it has something for everyone! Umm... I'm gonna go order some lollipops now... bye.
