SprezzaBox: September + Bonus Box!

You all may remember that I ordered a Sprezza box last year around this time of the year as a present for my boy.  If you want to see that box you can find it here!  I was amazed then, and then I ordered these and have been even more impressed!  These boxes are full of really nice quality products for men, and I love that there is a subscription company catering to the men in our lives and trying to make them dress better.
When I ordered they were doing a promotion, which was the current box and a past box for $20.  I'm not sure if it is still active, but I used the code "BONUSBOX20" so you all can give it a shot!


The September box theme was "The Perry" with classic patterns, but heavier fabrics and darker colors for fall.


This box included:
  • Bryt Dress Socks - $11.66
  • FRESHeTech Earbuds - $29.95
  • Peter Daniel Leather Bracelet - $10
  • Sprezza Pocket Square - $18
  • English Laundry Oxford Bleu Cologne - They said this small bottle was worth $20, but the full size 1.7 oz is $70.
  • Perry Ellis Necktie - $45 
My favorites from this box for my man had to be the tie and the cologne.  The cologne smelled amazing, I really hope he likes it as much as I do!
I also like the leather bracelet, but more for me that a man.  I have been wearing that quite a bit recently because there is no chance any man in my life would wear that.
The earbuds were just kind ehh, neither great or bad.
My least favorites were the pocket square and socks.  I'm sure there are men that would enjoy those, but I have none in my life.

Total retail of these items (according to the card) - $134.61

The bonus box I received was "The Beekman" from July.  This was a very summery boat themed box for a very metro kind of man.


This box included:
  • Bedford & Broome Socks - $12
  • Dappered Man Leather Key Fob - $10
  • Ursa Major Face Wash - The card said this small bottle is $6, but full size retails for $12, so...
  • AusCufflinks - $24.95
  • Grand Frank Pocket Square - $16
  • Jack Sartori Necktie - $78
From this box I will probably only give my man the tie and socks, and maybe the face wash.  I love the socks though, they are too cute!
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what to do with the cufflinks and pocket square.  I don't know any men who own or wear boats... So theres that.
And as for the key fob, it is another item that is neither here nor there.  Its just ok.

Total retail of these items (according to the card) - $146.95


Overall both boxes had their high and low points, but I definitely liked the first one better than the second.  All in all I think these are nice presents, and I don't regret buying them; I'm even thinking about resubscribing to get the October box because it has a couple really great items!  If you have been on the fence then I say give it a shot!

Blueberry Crush Sangria

I'm considering a new series on this blog... How would you all feel about wine Wednesdays?  Not every Wednesday of course, but just to mix things up sometimes!  Most all of the drinks I make end up being something I concoct from various ideas and recipes I see online, and then add wine to it, and voilà, wine punch!  And I see a distinct lack of wine punch or creative sangria recipes on Pinterest, so look no further; I'm coming to the rescue! I made this drink recently for a party in which the color theme was purple, so of course we had to have a purple drink!  It was met with much praise, and I highly suggest giving it a try!  It is a very sweet drink, but can be toned down based on your preferences.  It would be the perfect way to bring in Spring!  (If it is actually Spring where you live, we just pretend here, it is still snowing) Ingredients Blueberry syrup: Bag of frozen blueberries (minus 1/3 cup.) 1 cup sugar 3 cups water ...

Ipsy: June

So guys... I resubscribed to Ipsy!  Since I was back to having a summer job I figured I could spare $10 a month!  And so far, this bag wasn't the best, but I updated my profile so it will take a minute for them to readapt. The bag this month though... It is on my swap site on MySubscriptionAddiction if you want it!  Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. This is the Kokie nail polish in the color Gone Rio.  I hadn't ever heard of this brand before, but the packaging is adorable!  Apparently you can buy it at Walmart for around $5.  The color is a really nice orange-y coral and it has a decent lasting power considering how rough I am on my nails!  Overall I liked it and I would buy from this brand again. This is the City Color Shimmer Shadow in the color Cheers to Life.  It is a pretty basic sandy brown with a ton of shimmer, obviously!  City Color isn't my favorite brand to get because it is fairly cheap and the products are ki...
