Monthly Subscription Box Review

Subscription boxes are all the rage these days. I never ever thought I would be someone to get a monthly subscription box. Sounded like throwing away money to me. However, back in October, one of my good friends was raving about the Popsugar Must Have Box and was looking for referrals so she could get one free month. I thought, why not, I'll look into it. Can't hurt to help a friend, right? So I looked at the Popsugar blog of past boxes and was impressed with the items they showed. I decided to help out my friend. I meant to just purchase one month.. And so it began! 

I am LOVING this subscription box! I just received my sixth box a few days ago and plan on signing up for another 3 month order! Please note, I am NOT getting paid for telling you about the Popsugar Must Have Box! I just wanted to share something I love!! :)
The best thing about this subscription box is that it isn't limited to one thing. They send cosmetics, jewelry, accessories, books, health/fitness items, candles, food, and more! So it's always a surprise to see what you might find in the box. I wait not-so-patiently the moment I get the shipping notification for it to arrive! I will say, it is one of the more expensive boxes I've seen at roughly $40/month, BUT they guarantee to send over $100 worth of merchandise in each box (and most of the time they surpass that amount!). That means you receive pretty high quality stuff! And it's not just sample sized items! They also send awesome coupons and occasional gift cards, provide free boxes for referrals, and sometimes host contests! I have no complaints at all!
Here's the April box, which is one of my favorite boxes!
