Dreaming of...(Subscription) Boxes : Home Edition

Last Thursday I shared with you guys my new could be obsession  with Subscription Boxes. 

If you missed it check out Our Beauty Edition

Since these last couple of weeks I have been working my ass off trying to get my home in order I thought it would only be natural that this week I share with you my Home Edition!

Right now there are 56 home themed subscription boxes and with the costs ranging from 240 a yr to fit into your budget, I have narrowed it down to my top 3  "wish list" so check them out...

 Wickbox

 $29.95 per month

 Choose a medium or large candle to be delivered to your door every month! Fill out a scent profile so we can handpick your candle based on the scents you love. Our brand partners focus on quality like lead-free wicks, superior wax, & beautiful containers.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE candles! These things would be an easy budget breaker for me and I think that out of all the ones that they offer this sounds like to me one that I would enjoy the most. 

Flower of the Month Club

$34.96 per month

In every Flower of the Month subscription receive a professionally designed seasonal bouquet cut just days before you receive it. Also their monthly newsletter where you’ll learn about each featured flower's history, where it originated and how it was grown.

I love fresh flowers, but I will be honest they are not in my everyday decor, flowers get expensive FAST and since I do not have a green thumb, nor the knowledge to keep a plant alive this would be my best bet. I am telling you I am NOT graced with being able to take care of plants... AT ALL... I mean I am the one who killed a Venus fly trap! Who knew...

Box of Chic

$49.00 per month

A subscription box for your home! Each box will surprise you with pretty pieces for your desk, coffee table, kitchen, bar, dining room, bedroom and more! Jennifer personally styles each box's items and includes a gorgeous photo depicting how she styled as well as styling tips so you can easily re-create the look in your home.

I LOVE  styling tips and items that say here ya go stupid! Needless to say I have always had my own sense of style and decor and up until recently I have never really cared. I guess you get to a point in your life when you say maybe it is time to let your style grow up some... After all I was the teenage with my favorite things stapled to my bedroom walls... So yeah...

These were so hard to narrow down since there are so many that are similar but these would be the ones that I would say are a MUST have in my book for our home.

Dreaming of...(Subscription) Boxes : Beauty Edition

In 2011 someone had a brainstorm to stick stuff in a box and have people pay for it...

MONTHLY...

My thoughts?

WHY didn't I think of that!

4 years later and there are at least over 1800 DIFFERENT companies following suit.

The first of the year I jumped on the band wagon and signed up with Ispy Glam Bags 

If you are not familiar with them here is the basics...

They are a box subscription company who specializes in beauty products.

Here is my "spread" of bags since I have joined!

When you sign up you answer a quiz that they use as the basis on what products you get sent, shades, etc. 

 Give them your $10 a month and wait with some MAJOR anticipation to see that pink envelope in your mail box!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE ISPY mail days!

If you want to join me there use my REFERRAL LINK

As a matter of fact I got my October shipment yesterday.Here is a peak inside my glambag this month!

 which is why I had this great idea that I would share with you about my experience with Ispy being a box subscription based company and then I would put together a "wish list" of some of the other companies out there.

 What is so great about these companies is that they have something for everyone! There are SO many categories out there so I just HAD to make up a wish list for each area! 

What?!

Today I will share with you Box Subscription companies that specialize in beauty, since I am a current subscriber in that area my self.

But there are SO MANY MORE I would LOVE to sign up with..

While We Were Away: A Weekend Recap

When I left you all Friday I figured we would have one of our typical weekends where we really didn't do much but relax and get ready for another week ahead. 

BOY WAS I WRONG!

FRIDAY:

Friday evening was actually not so bad, we spent the evening watching movies as a family and enjoyed some good ol Taco Bell together before Alora was off to her friends house to spend the night. 

SATURDAY:

Saturday morning was pretty relaxed as we hung out at the house and did a little cleaning up here and there. The three girls had a birthday-costume-slumber party to go to that evening so our main focus was putting the last minute touches on costumes, getting them packed up and ready to go and gift shopping...

 Needless to say I STILL FORGOT the gift at home when I dropped the kids off... smh..

This weekend was the grand opening for our highly anticipated Outlet Mall!

It is located off the I-30 right next to the Bass Pro Shop

 

As a California girl... I AM IN HEAVEN!

Since the hubby and I were kid free and we knew that it would be a MAD house we took the opportunity to check it out kid free PLUS my hubby has NEVER been to one  (GASP!) and I  thought he would enjoy it better without trying to keep up with the kids too. 

We took a few laps around the outlet featuring 75+ stores and since the lines for most of the stores were out the doors and wrapped around we didn't grab any deals but decided to go grab dinner in Little Rock since we were close by.

(I will share more about the Outlets soon!)  

The hubby is a HUGE Chinese food fan, as for me... I like it but I burn it off so fast I am hungry again WAY SOONER then it is worth. 

Since we don't go out often we decided to go to his favorite, Panda Garden.

Panda Garden is located in Shakleford Crossings off Shakelford.

It is a buffet style establishment and the family loves it!

I am more of the seafood buffet options that are on the weekend (which then of course adds to the price) 

Me and the hubby got the seafood buffet and 2 sweet teas for right at $30. 

After dinner we headed home for a movie and crashed like all old folks do. 

Yeah we are some REALLY HAPPEN' FOLKS

SUNDAY:

 Sunday morning me and the hubby decided  we would go ahead and do our weekly grocery shopping since the kids did not have to be picked up til after 12. If you are a mom like me you know how much FUN grocery shopping can be with kids...

After we got done I ran and picked up the girls from their party and I even remembered to take the poor birthday girl her gift!

That afternoon was Aaliyah's Fall Festival  at the school and of course that meant for more dressing up! 

I took the three girls for a while to the school function where they played games to win candy, meet and pet some horses (Aaliyah was in heaven) and say hi to their friends!

Even Dakota ran into her boyfriend who was working the haunted house!

While us girls got into the Halloween spirit the hubby was over at our landlords helping her change out her locks on her house and avoiding the fall festival :)

We rounded off the evening with our normal routines and getting things ready for this week where we celebrate our move-a-versary, get ready for Spook City and still on the path of cleaning out the house... 

Did you do any pre-Halloween festivities?
