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!  There was one tucked inside the bag!

Aside from the mini bombs, I also got a full sized bomb!  This one has already been used, and it was lovely!  It turned the bath a beautiful lavender color, but didn't dye the bathtub.  My skin was fragrant and soft after the bath, and the ring floated right up to the top!

Finally, I also got a sugar scrub.  Normally in a box you only get two items, but I guess they did three with this to equate the value of a candle.  This scrub also had a ring in it!  The scrub sticks together very well, unlike some sugar scrubs that are difficult to scoop because they fall apart.  It isn't the most abrasive, but it is nice nonetheless!

In case you are wondering, the rings come packaged like this to keep them safe from the water, scrubs, and bombs.  They look a bit like gum ball rings!  The gold slip in there is a code you enter in on the website.  It will tell you the value of the ring, give you reward points to redeem on the website, and enter you to win a $10,000 ring!

And finally, what we have all been waiting for, the rings!  I don't wear silver a lot, but these truly are very pretty rings!  The bands on the left and right are very similar, but they are simple, and exactly what I want in a ring.  I know I won't get as much use out of the purple, but it is very pretty as well!

Overall, I am very happy with the box in retrospect.  Even though I really wanted a candle initially, and I would have preferred gold, getting three rings makes up for it!

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....

College Countdown: Planer and Week at a Glance

The week prior to move in is going to be crazy!!  We are getting back from Disney the night of August 11th, and I move in between 1:00 and 4:00 on the 12th… Between driving over ten hours back home, unpacking from Disney, finishing packing for college, and then finally moving in, it is going to be a chaotic two days!   Once I'm home I have to pack up my clothes (which I've already picked out), pack any toiletries I haven't been able to, and anything else last minute which I wasn't able to before the Disney trip! My schedule for the day went something like this... Staying up late into the night packing and then waking up much too early to continue  12:00 Lunch at my Grandmother's house with my extended family since I haven't seen them in a while and won't see them again for a longer while! 2:00 Leave for College with pitstops at the place I used to work to pick up my check, the bank to cash the check, and then off to college! 3:45 Moving ...

Girls Night In!

Time to unwind with a girls night!  If you are like me and my adorable roomie, you just completed a week of mind numbing midterms and you need to unwind.   Priority number one is getting into the comfiest possible clothes that you own, bonus points if you have super cute matching pjs unlike me... My top pick is my boyfriends flannel (which is huge on me! <3) and leggings with fuzzy socks.   If you want to go the comfy but cute route, Adore Me has sleepwear ranging from sexy slips and camis if you are having a night in with your significant other, cute sweats for a girls night like we are having, and robes if you just need something to cuddle up in and be extra cozy! I highl y reccomend them!  And, just like with their bra and panty sets, your first set is only $25! Step two is to slap on a face mask! In the picture above I am wearing the Glam Glow SuperMud, which is not pictured because I only have a small Sephora sample, but it work...
