In thinking about this blog post I realized that, as a grown up, I don't have very many good surprises. Bad surprises, yes. They seem to pop up with regularity. But no honest-to-goodness, I wasn't expecting that, how fantastic! surprises. They are few and far between. Until now.
There seem to be a plethora of sample boxes out there. Birchbox. Barkbox. Julep. Nature Box. The list goes on and on. But did any of them apply to me? One day in August, I was reading blog entries from a great site called DC Ladies. One of the writers mentioned the PopSugar Must Have Box and I was intrigued. This looked like it had possibility!
I didn't want to go in too deeply without knowing if I would like it, so I signed up for a 3 month subscription. They initially told me I wouldn't receive my first box until October but they had some subscriptions lapse in September so I was able to receive that box as my first of three. And I was hooked. Finally, I had something that would surprise (and delight) me!!
Jim has even gotten in on the excitement of seeing what has arrived for the month. He informed me last week when I called home to say I was on my way that my October box had arrived and wondered out loud what was in it. Here is how it looks when it arrives in the mail.
The anticipation was killing me...but I always open it slowly (to make the surprise even better)!
The pink pamphlet provides details on each item in the box. And what an awesome box it was! Imagine my delight when I saw the Jane Tran bobby pins like we carry at Zoe (love some hair jewelry!)
Each box normally has some kind of food, some cosmetics, a book (I know, like I need more books), and other fashionable things. I was doubly excited when I found that they had included the SAME HAIRBRUSH that we featured on Alexandria Stylebook from Bellacara! Talk about being on trend - the ladies of Stylebook know what we are talking about! (Make sure to sign up for our email list here!)
We all need a little (good) surprise in our lives from time to time!
