Where have I been???

Where have I been???

It’s been a good 4-5 months since I’ve published a post on here.

Well, the family and I moved to ATL!! Went from a wish to reality in the span of six months. We just up and did it! We acquired jobs, a home and have been building our nest ever since.

This move has been a rather smooth transition with a few snags here and there. The biggest being how to move all our stuff out here. We wound up just taking what can fit in our suitcases and replacing everything else. Something that was exciting for me. A true fresh start on life to blaze my own trail, forge my own path. Filling up our home with furniture and Knick knacks that we like and just enjoying the peace of your own space. It feels nice!

Our son is adjusting quiet well. He has made new friends, started a new school and is developing new and old interests. He has taking up dancing like his father as well as video game streaming. Proud of my pumpkin and elated that he is just as happy as I to be here.

I started a new career in logistics which is…interesting to say the least. New people, new environment. Do I like it? Kind of. While it is interesting it is not an industry, I necessarily desire to be apart of, from this angle anyway. I want to interact with this industry as a customer, utilizing this company to move my future products. I am taking notes on what to look out for and how I want to go about developing my supply chain. All in all, I kind of like what I do but I know there is more and staying focused on building our services.

As for the site the beauty reviews, BoxyCharm posts, and monthly life updates will be back. As well as cooking posts and more vlog like videos so be sure to check out my YouTube channel as well!

What a time to be alive when you can get a box every month or week with dinner, a new wardrobe, or grooming supplies. As a subscriptions lover I have tried my fair share and are always on the lookout for a new service to sign up for. I have compiled a list of some subscription services I have come across, some I tried and some I am considering signing up for this year.

  1. Savage X Fenty

Savage X Fenty is a lingerie subscription service curated and created by Rihanna. It is full of sexy, colorful pieces that compliments all body types. While I have yet to become a VIP member myself, I do have a few pieces from this line, and they are very comfortable and flattering. This membership costs $49.95 a month and you can skip the month if you do not want to order anything for that month.

2. Just Fab

Just Fab is a footwear, clothing, and accessory subscription service. I liked this service, each month you are emailed your own personal boutique with items chosen for you based on a style quiz you filled out at the time of signing up. If you do not like anything in your boutique feel free to search the site for any style shoe or outfit that better suits you. I ended my membership due to budgeting, but I would consider resigning up soon. This subscription costs $39.95 a month and like Savage X Fenty you can skip the month if you do not wish to order anything that month.

3. Boxycharm

Obviously, I love Boxycharm. 5 full sized beauty and/or skincare items delivered to your door every month starting at $25 a month how could I say no to that. For $35 extra you can get a monthly premium box with 6-7 premium items. The top box to get would be the Luxe box that comes every three months with up to 8 exclusive products the box being worth up to $395. I get all three, no shame. Since signing up for this subscription I have not had to go shopping for beauty or skincare unless I ran out of a staple product or favorite. You can cancel at anytime with no penalty and pick up where you left off at any time. I also like that you get to choose 1-2 products that come in your box depending on your subscription.

4. Ipsy

I love Ipsy! Each month you receive a cute makeup bag (also known as a glam bag) filled with 5 typically trial sized beauty products for $12 a month. They also have an upgrade to the base glam bag called glam bag plus which features 5 full sized products for $25 a month. I like the cute makeups bags and brand selection. I did end my subscription though, once I signed up for Boxycharm because they were offering full sized products out the gate and I felt I was getting more bang for my buck.

5. Hello Fresh

Last but certainly not least on this list is Hello Fresh. I do not have a subscription, but I have been thinking about getting one for a while. Hello Fresh is a weekly meal subscription that sends you premeasured ingredient and recipes to make delicious, healthy meals at home. I am curious about this subscription because while I do know how to cook it would be nice to try something new without the hassle of going grocery shopping and prepping the ingredients and scrolling through 101 recipes on Google.
