February in Review

This was the first month I have ordered and received multiple subscription boxes.  I have enjoyed all of them!  Below is a brief summary of each box.  I'm keeping this as a personal reminder of what I liked and didn't.  This will help me decide which subscriptions to keep and drop in the future.

1.  Socialbliss Style Box
          Faves - scarf, stylus pen, and wallet
          Perks - 2-day shipping with tracking via USPS, great packaging, able to subscribe for 3 months
          Drawbacks - There is a wait list to sign up for the box.  You can access the invite page through
               my link.  I will receive $10 credit if you subscribe.
