Naomi's Favorite:
The Item: Be Your Inc.redible Self With NAILS.INC Nail Polish in Lilac Grove, 10 mL
The Cost: Retail Value $11.00
From: Ipsy
Why I love it: With all my local nail salons still closed, I was excited to receive the Be Your Inc.redible Self polish from NAILS.INC in the color Lilac Grove. I was amazed by how smooth and quick the brilliant wide flat brush made application. One coat of this beautiful spring color was more than enough; the polish went on opaque! With a long lasting and quick drying formula, this product is a definite win! I love it!

Jessica's Favorite:
The Item: Whale Talk Deep Conditioner
The Cost: Buy a full-size deep conditioner for $12.99
From: Fortune Cookie Soap Box
Why I love it: I needed a hair cut back in February, however, my strong dislike of hair cuts (I had one bad cut in 2013 and I still haven’t gotten over my fear of it happening again) did not anticipate a pandemic that would close all beauty salons. Because of this, my hair is definitely drier than usual. This hair mask is thick, and when I wash it away my hair is so much softer and more manageable.

Carlos's Favorite:
The Item: Tiny Octopus Socks
The Cost: $19 with free shipping (two pairs)
From: Society Socks
Why I love it: Coming from a guy whose sock drawer was literally black and white, these socks really pop. My favorite of this month’s pairs was as classic as it was fun. From afar, it just looks like a simple dot design, but up close there are little detailed octopi that’ll get a smile.

Brandi's Favorite:
The Item: The Chelsea Set Swarovski Nesting Rings
The Cost: $19.95/month for the sub
From: Pura Vida Jewelry Club
Why I love it: I haven’t taken these rings off since I got this box! They are so beautiful with just the right amount of sparkle and since I am a big rose gold fan, these are just my style! They are comfortable to wear with a fairly flat profile and I feel like I can wear them with pretty much anything since the style is fairly simple. The opal with the rose gold makes it feel like a perfect summery set, too!

1 of 3
The Item: Kittybelles Bad Kitty Tequila
The Cost: $4.99
From: VetPet Box
ACTIVE DEAL: Save $15 off your first box!
CODE: VetPet15MSA
Why I love it: I often choose whatever gets me the best cat pictures as my favorite item of the month and this month, this toy actually got Madison rolling around on the floor (though for most of the month, he’s been a stick in the mud).

Abby's Favorite:
The Item: Postcard Set
The Cost: Listed Value $6
From: Quirky Crate
Why I love it: This set of five postcards brought on some serious '90s nostalgia. These large postcards came at a perfect time, too, while we are all social distancing. There is nothing better than receiving snail mail, after all!
