Welcome to our monthly post highlighting our favorite discoveries from a variety of women's, beauty, and even dog subscription boxes! Here are our favorite items from the past month:

Savannah's Favorite:

Passarola White Blend bottle by itself

The Item: 2018 Passarola White Blend 

The Cost: $14.99 (or $12.99 through the subscription)

From: Winc

Why I love it: I received the 2017 version of this bottle almost exactly a year before this delivery and was delighted to find the 2018 iteration was just as great, if not better! Light, smooth, apple-leaning, and reliable, it was hard to put down and pretty impressive for the price point.

Megan's Favorite:

thin silver bangle

The Item: Gaylord Silvercraft Hammer Bangle 

The Cost: N/A

From: My Favorite Cherished Heirloom Jewelry

Why I love it: This piece arrived in one of my newest (and most polarizing) subscriptions. Since this sub is a complete mystery, I was floored to receive a piece I absolutely love like this that combines history and jewelry into one amazing cuff. I literally haven't taken it off since I opened the box except for swatch photos!

Krista's Favorite:

The Item: Vidalana Lofti DK by KnitCrate in color “Firewood” 

The Cost: $24.00 per skein

From: KnitCrate 

Why I love it: This yarn is one of the softest that I've ever felt! I couldn't stop thinking that it felt like a perfectly worn-in sweatshirt, and I couldn't wait to make a sweater with it. Once this sweater is done I have a feeling I'm going to be wearing it every day!

Christen's Favorite: 

The Item: Green Goo Hand Goo 

The Cost: $14.95

From: Cairn

Why I love it: This balm is a heal-all. My family has already been struggling with dry, cracked skin this winter and we just glob this stuff on. It’s awesome knowing that it's natural ingredients doing all the work of healing.

Becca's Favorite: 

Habitation Box December 2019 all items laid out

The Item: The ENTIRE Habitation December 2019 Box

The Cost: $54.99 + shipping

ACTIVE DEAL: Save 10% off
CODE: HOLIDAYCHEER

From: Habitation Box

Why I love it: This box is curated absolutely perfectly! The designer has neutrals, versatility, and functionality all in mind, which she executes flawlessly! All of the items were high quality and coordinated together, while being easily placed with things I already own. I am extremely fond of Christmas decor, and this box really added just what I needed to my home!

Jessica's Favorite:

The Item: Givenchy Volume Disturbia Mascara 

The Cost: $27

From: Play! by Sephora Luxe Vol 6 

Why I love it: I am so used to cocktailing different mascaras to get my desired lash look that when I tried this for the first time I couldn’t believe my eyes (see what I did there?). This does a great job of adding volume, length, and curl, and I had no issues with clumping or smearing while I wore it. I have been reaching for this literally every time I do my makeup, and I am currently waiting for the full-sized mascara to be delivered from Sephora- I just had to order it.

Brandi's Favorite:

The Item: Long Puffer Jacket in Shale, Size L 

The Cost: Retail Value $93.95, VIP Price $64.95

ACTIVE DEAL: Get your first pair of shoes for $10! No coupon needed - just use this link.

From: JustFab

Why I love it: This coat has been a perfect winter coat for the rainy winter we have been having! The deep hood has kept me dry and this long coat is so warm and cozy, but not too bulky. I love the color that goes with everything and even more, and I love that I got it for only $32.67 thanks to the great Black Friday sale they had! It has pockets, a tie at the waist to give it a more fitted look, and gold accents that look nice with the gray/purple color!

Ragan's Favorite:

The Item: Meowliday Lights Feather Cat Toy

The Cost: $4.99 (currently on sale for $3.99)

ACTIVE DEAL: 20% off your first box
CODE: MSA20

From: CatLadyBox

Why I love it: Most of the time I will pick whatever gives me the best cat pictures, or whatever my cats enjoyed the most, which was definitely this toy in December. It's feathers on a string! That's pretty great if you're a cat.

Abby's Favorite:

The Item: Love by Luna Mystic Mani Nail Polish in The Numinous

The Cost: $18

From: MoonBox by Gaia Collective

Why I love it: I love bold hues in the winter months, especially for my toes. I've been sporting this polish all month long, and I've only had to touch it up a few times. This formula is infused with crystals for extra positive vibes and is also vegan and 5 free!

Hi there, I'm Christen. I am all sorts of things:

🌳 a writer who loves to convey feeling

🌲 a mother who wants to have just as much fun as my kids do

🌳 an outdoors-lover who's achieved #1000hoursoutside with my family

🌲 a low-maintenance self-carer

🌳 a general hungry person with an unstoppable sweet tooth

You'll find me collecting stationery and squirreling away stickers, riding bikes and swimming with my family, creating outfits in colors and silhouettes that make me feel amazing, wearing big earrings, drinking beer and asking my husband to feed me harmonies to sing, taking my vitamins, living for dancing to live music, roping everyone into a craft, being human and vulnerable, and celebrating the phenomenon of being alive.

...and doing it all with energy, delight, and jokes along the way.

I haven’t seen this before. I’d love to see this every month if you don’t do that already.

I’m so glad you landed here, BF! Our reviewer favorites posts are indeed a monthly thing, and in addition to the overall faves (that’s what’s in this post), we also round up our favorites in the Beauty, Food, and Wearable categories. Keep an eye out for those 3—December’s will be launching over the next couple of days. 🙂
