June Naturebox [Review + Giveaway] OPEN/US only

Since having my daughter a little over six months ago, I have been working on getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight by changing my diet. It is definitely easy to snack on junk foods like cookies and chips since being in my new career as full time stay at home mom after my daughter was born.

I recently discovered a new (and healthy) monthly food subscription box service called NatureBox foods. 

Who is NatureBox?

Discover a Healthier You

NatureBox helps you eat healthier without needing to change your eating habits. We focus on snacks because that’s the easiest habit to change. Do you know that the average American eats almost 25% of their calories from snacking? In fact, snacking is the leading cause of childhood obesity. NatureBox helps you get more out of your day without wasting calories on the bad stuff.

Food You Can Trust

Every NatureBox item is carefully sourced and nutritionist approved. Everything inside your NatureBox will be guilt free so that you can feel great about what you’re eating. You can trust that our products will be made from the most wholesome ingredients and will be minimally processed, if at all.

Try Us Risk Free!

Each box costs just $19.95 and shipping is always free with NatureBox. You can pause or cancel anytime, and we’ll happily issue a refund if you’re not 100% satisfied.

Together, We Give

For every NatureBox sent out, together we’re helping to feed the hungry. NatureBox donates one meal for every box to feed the over 14 million children in America who go hungry. We believe in doing good and eating well.

Whenever I go to the grocery store, I always want to leave with a healthy and delicious snack but with the large variety they have it's hard to pick one and actually like it!

What was May's Gossip Girl birchbox really worth?

The highly anticipated Birchbox Gossip Girl box arrived and was unboxed with disappointment. After receiving a box with the collaborated forces of birchbox and teen vogue (which I loved),  I couldn't wait to see what I had gotten this month.

Because I get my birchboxes towards the later part of the month, I take sneak peaks of the contents of  each month's box via youtube. On occasion, I will get the email talking about the products I received in my month's box before I've even received the box. This month's box was one of those instances where the email told me the products I got before I received the physical box and I said to myself, "BORING!'.

All about Monthly Boxes!

Remember when magazine subscriptions were the big thing? Well, now it is all about the monthly box subscriptions. Subscription boxes can vary in content from makeup, skin care, food, lifestyle, moms, children, pets to just about anything!

With all of the subscription boxes out there, how can anyone keep up? As many of you know, I am obsessed with monthly boxes and majority of my Youtube channel videos are unboxings and reviews of boxes that I have received. Two main reasons I love this concept are that I love getting goodies in the mail and, in most cases, I don't know what I'll be receiving! Who doesn't want to feel like it's their birthday EVERY month? To take the guessing and research out of the equation, here are all of the monthly boxes that I am either subscribed to or have researched to include in this list!


Do you know of one that I missed? Email me their website info and I will include it on this list!

Magnetic Kylie [Julep May It Girl - unbox & tutorial]

My Julep's May box was highly anticipated because it had a magnetic nail polish called Kylie. The magnetic nail polish had made its debut several months ago retailing between $15 to $20 a bottle and I was excited that Julep came out with their version. It's great to have gotten this polish along with two additional polishes and a mini pedi cream sample with my monthly membership. Can we say a box valued WAY over it's box purchase? I can! 


The unbox and a tutorial video here:
