Marne's Favorite:
The Item: Harry Josh Pro Tools Premium Oval Brush
The Cost: Retail Value $50.00
From: The Sunday Riley Subscription Box
Why I love it: Who knew I'd be so obsessed with a hairbrush? This mint boar's hair bristle number is a game changer for my fine hair and has introduced me to a whole new world of hair care. Getting an item with a $50.00 value in this box is also just fantastic.

Abby's Favorite:
The Item: Exclusively Dog Tex Mex Treats, 7oz
The Cost: Retail Value $7.19 (Found here for $5.60)
From: The Dapper Dog
Why I love it: These square treats are perforated to create the perfect size snack for your doggo! I rip a few ahead of time as training treats on walks, and we are not even halfway through the bag. Exclusively Dog is also made in the USA, and are wheat, corn and soy-free, not to mention their potent aroma gets Murray's attention no matter where he is in the house! Big win for a picky pup!

Jessica's Favorite:
The Item: Malaya Organics Advanced Repair Mask – Neem Honey Herbal Complex
The Cost: $78.00
From: Boxwalla Mother’s Day Face and Body Ritual Set
Why I love it: Most of my acne is cystic hormonal acne, and as much as I love my skincare there aren’t a lot of products that can actually help it. This mask was incredibly soothing and nourishing to my sore, inflamed pimples, and it was created with cystic acne specifically in mind. I will be so sad that this is empty that I am now using it only as a spot treatment for acne, though every part of my face loves it.

Ragan's Favorite:
The item: Tootiez Hedgehog by Outward Hound
The Cost: $9.99
ACTIVE DEAL: Save $15 off your first box!
CODE: VetPet15MSA
From: VetPet Box
Why I love it: I laughed a lot when Nyx was playing with this toy. She growled and barked at it, which is something I've never seen before. She was also obsessed with the sound it made. (Plus, it is durable -- she still has it, although she's broken the squeaker.)

Nich's Favorite:
The Item: Bombash & Earley Botanical Skincare Co.- Mango Lip Scrub
The Cost: $10.00
From: Trendy Memo (This is sadly the last month of this subscription!)
Why I love it: This exfoliating mango lip scrub is grainy, and has a fruity scent. The scrub consists of sugar, coconut oil, flavor, and color. The scrub wasn’t to gritty, it gently exfoliated my lips. I use lip scrubs weekly and I love how my lips feel after each application.

Brandi's Favorite:
The Item: Pink Clover Denver Knot Front Top, Size L
The Cost: Retail Value $38
From: StitchFix
Why I love it: This mustard yellow color has become a new favorite for me and while this shirt is so basic and simple, that little knot detail gives it just enough flair for me to throw on and feel like I’m actually looking pretty stylish! It is lightweight, cute and has become a shirt I reach for often!

The Cost: $35.95
From: Paletteful Packs May Premier Box

Savannah's Favorite:
The Item: 2018 Cape Route Chenin Blanc
The Cost: $15 (or $13 through a subscription)
From: Winc Wine of the Month
Why I love it: After enjoying a red from Cape Route a few months ago, I was pleased to see this chenin blanc in my recommendations. It was very light, with clear tasting notes of apple, lemon, pear, and pineapple, as promised. The pear flavor came through most prominently for me, and it was lovely. Very spring apropos, and pretty sophisticated for $13!

Krista's Favorite:
The Item: Knitology Cozy Sock by KnitCrate in color Citrus Squeeze
The Cost: $30.00
From: KnitCrate
Why I love it: I loved the opportunity to try a luxury yarn base such as this one, and the yarn is oh-so-soft. I thought the colors were so fun for the beginning of summer and went with the Farmer's Market theme of this box so well. Even though this yarn is brighter than my usual

Laine's Favorite:
The Item: McEwan's Brewery Scotch Ale
The Cost: $4.16 for one bottle (based on the cost of box divided by number of bottles in box)
From: The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club
ACTIVE DEAL: $10 off a 4 shipment order
CODE: SAVE10
Why I love it: I very much enjoyed trying a real Scotch Ale from Scotland in this month's box! It was the highest ABV in the box for the month, but I liked this hearty, malty brew more for its mild but complex taste. I really enjoy trying new beers in this box, but I especially appreciated the opportunity to try a Scotch ale from presumably where the style originated! The flavor had notes of caramel and bread, but the carbonation kept it light and drinkable. Salut!
