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!

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did??  I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels.  They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well!  I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one.  But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection.  The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile."  It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs.  I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones!  I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it?  But no worries

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island.  I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

Best Beach Ever!

So... I am debating on if I should even share this with you because it is so amazing! This is the most absolutely amazing beach I have ever been to in my life! It is Emerald Isle NC it is perfect!  So in my mind it is so perfect because: It is on the beautiful coast of North Carolina (which is where I live, and where I love!) It's name is Emerald ISLE so its on a cute little island (Duh!), at some places o the island you can see the Bogue Sound (yes this is a body of water, and yes this is a real place) and the Atlantic Ocean on the other It is a quite little town so everyone if friendly, and the beaches are never crowded There is a nice little aquarium just up the island a bit The is a little shopping center called Emerald Plantations that includes a movie theater , restaurants, shops, and a river where you can feed Sea Turtles (this is especially fun because there's one that is bigger than my six year old brother! It lives at the bottom and only comes up occasiona
