We've started a new monthly post highlighting our favorite discoveries from subscription boxes! Here are our favorite items from the past month:
Liz's Favorite:
The Item: Acure Organics Captivating Coconut Light Body Oil
The Cost: $12.99
From: The Limited Edition Birchbox: Ready Set Summer
Why I love it: This is such a great price for an ingredient-conscious body oil! If you are a fan of light coconut scents like I am - I highly recommend it. It smells like summer to me, and the formula is light and not-greasy.
Haley's Favorite:
The Item: Sweet Claire Floral Maxi Dress
The Cost: Estimated Value $60
From: Golden Tote June $149 Tote
Why I love it: This floral maxi dress is one of my favorites I've ever received from Golden Tote! It's flattering and comfortable, and the floral print is just beautiful! It is made of a knit with a nice-quality weight to it, and it's lined so I don't have to wear a slip with it or worry about undergarment situations (which is fantastic because it's white). I adore the gathered/ruffled bottom panel of the dress and I'm so happy it's long enough for me, which can be a challenge to find at 5'11".

Jessica's Favorite:
The Item: Om Botanicals Clear Skin Solution
The Cost: $36
From: The Better Beauty Box
Why I love it: This was the clear winner for me this month. I got this right when my face was riddled with hormonal cystic acne, which is notorious for not responding well to your run of the mill acne products. I noticed a difference the next day after using this the night before, and have been using it consistently since. My skin is looking great, and I will probably end up paying full-price for more after I run out.

Ragan's Favorite:
The Item: Unique Vintage Black and Pink Rose Cap Sleeve Valencia Swing Dress
The Cost: $98
From: Unique Vintage Dress of the Month Club
Why I Love It: May’s dress didn’t fit me well so I was happy to see a dress in June that was constructed in a way that I could actually zip it up on my own and breathe once it was on! (I don’t have the classic hourglass figure that Unique Vintage assumes with respect to sizing.) But also, giant pink flowers are something I’m really into lately. Without the petticoat, I could wear this to work and it doesn’t show wrinkles quite the same way as some of the other dresses I’ve received this year.

Tiffany's Favorite:
My husband, John and I both have a favorite this month!
The Item: Travel Jewelry Tray by Santa Barbara Design Studio (Bonus Item)
The Cost: Estimated Value $10
From: Your Bijoux Box (Coupon: Use coupon code WELCOME to get a bonus piece of jewelry with your first box)
Why I love it: I've needed something like this to hold my jewelry while I'm traveling. I love that it unsnaps to lay flat and is super easy to pack. What an awesome bonus item for a jewelry sub!
The Item: Short-Sleeve Splatter Print Supersoft Cotton-Blend Shirt in Navy Blue, Size L
The Cost: Retail Value $59.50, Member Price $49.50
From: Frank and Oak Style Plan for Men
Why John loves it: The pattern is unique and fun without being too loud. The fabric is so soft and thin – perfect for this hot weather. Plus, this was John's first month of Frank And Oak Style Plan and it seems like a box that is just his style.
Lacey's Favorite:
The Item: Siliskin Silicone Bowl & Lid
The Cost: $11.95
From: Ecocentric Mom (Coupon: Use code MSA5 to save $5 off any subscription!)
Why I love it: This bowl is super sturdy. It washes well and I particularly like that it's a little bit grippy because it's made of silicone– that helps keep us from accidentally knocking it on the floor. We've also ended up using the lid as a plate really often and my son seems to like the novelty of it!

Nich's Favorite:
The Item: Gold Canvas Covered Journal With Zipper Pouch & Pocket
The Cost: $12.99
From: Trendy Memo (Coupon: Use code 10MSA to 10% off new subscriptions)
Why I love it: This is by far my favorite journal! I tend to journal often, and I have a wide assortment of journals to choose from depending on my mood and season. The zipper compartment and small pouch inside the journal cover are the best features; I stored my pen, highlighter, and money in the zippered compartment and my small paper clips in the small pouch inside. Once the lined journal is full, I can easily replace with another lined journal inside the canvas cover. Trendy Memo has sent some clever and useful office/desk products, which I have come to love.

Laine's Favorite:
The Item: The Dead House by Billy O’Callaghan
The Cost: $24.99 (found here for $18.47)
From: PageHabit (Coupon: Use coupon code MSAREADS to get a FREE bonus bundle when you sign up for a monthly subscription! The bundle includes a bonus book and a bookish good. Plus, free shipping in the US! ($5 off international shipping).)
Why I love it: I receive a lot of books each month, but I was really captivated by this darkly haunting yet beautiful tale by Billy O’Callaghan. I loved reading a book from an Irish author, and the description of the wild setting was so ethereal when paired with recounts of Irish history. The book was dark, certainly not for the faint of heart, but its love story core and artist focal character kept me hooked and reading late into the night!

Anna's Favorite:
The Item: Round Tortoiseshell Sunglasses
The Cost: This $15 box comes with 2 pairs of shades, meaning this pair is worth at least $7.50.
From: Subapollo (Coupon: Use code MSA to get 50% off your first box!)
Why I love them: These sunglasses have been my go-to ever since I received them! I wore them to some summer picnics and got lots of compliments. The colors are so neutral and versatile, but I like how the round shape is kind of quirky!

Brandi's Favorite:
The Box: June's Kid Wonder Box
The Cost: $24.95/month + shipping (Coupon: Use code MSA40 to save 40% off your first box!)
Why I love it: I figured that since this was an activity box, it was okay to pick the whole thing as my favorite item this month! This box came with 5 different dinosaur activities for ages 3-6. As a mama, I was totally impressed with how organized this box was, the number of materials and the quality of the items. My kids absolutely loved all of the activities and we are still using them weeks later! Our diorama and mini dinos are played with regularly, my daughter keeps asking me to hide fossils around the house for her to find and they both keep talking about when we dug up dinosaur bones! The fact that we refer to this box often is a clear sign of how much we all enjoyed it!

Christen's Favorite:
The Item: Philip Marks Marbleized Chocolate Bar, 2.5 oz.
The Cost: $10.00
From: Chococurb Classic Box (Coupon: Use code ADDICTION to save 10% off any subscription!)
Why I love it: This was such an unexpected love for me. I'm a dark chocolate fanatic, but no so much of a white chocolate person, so I wasn't sure what I'd think. Turns out the 88% dark chocolate and 36% white chocolate blend was perfection—the just-right amount of bitterness and sweetness. This chocolate is long gone, but I think about it almost daily!

Colette's Favorite:
The Item: I Love You with All My Butt!: An Illustrated Book of Big Thoughts from Little Kids by Martin Bruckner
The Cost: $12.95 (found here for $11.35)
From: Oxford Momma (Coupon: Save $5 off your first month with coupon code OXFORDMSA)
Why I love it: This was such a cute, pick-me-up type of book. You can get through the whole thing in an hour - and with its catchy title, I've noticed that as people have come to visit over the past few weeks I've seen several of my friends pick this up, page through it, and chuckle. Kids are amazing, the things they say are unbelievable, and this book is pretty witty!
