The Box
First Look
I was really impressed by my first look.  This box was packed with all kinds of goodies for Oliver.
Feline Greenies Ocean Fish Flavor $3.99
These help clean teeth and have a fish flavor.  Oliver loves fish.
Cat Toys est $6.00 per 2 pack
There were many different mouse toys for Oliver to play with.  I have given him a few and he has had a blast with them.
Litter Pal Quick Bags $11.99
Fact: Cats love boxes.  This is a litter box system in a box.  It comes with 32 bags, so cleaning is simple!
Whisker Lickins Cheese and Chicken Flavor $5.99
Oliver loved these cat treats.  It is chicken and cheese flavor and Oliver really enjoyed having a few.
Purr Packs Cat Collar 12 in $6.32
Zanies set of 4 mice $3.30
Oliver loved the zanies.  The green mouse has traveled all over the house.  I was also happy to get a new color, as Oliver's is getting old.

Toy Fun

Oliver loved these two toys and batted them around the house

Purr Packs Cat Groomer $9.02
This is a great brush.  Oliver has short hair and won't let me brush him.  I have a friend with a long haired cat that will love this brush.  This is a really nice quality brush and will get all the excess hair.
Cat Scratcher with Catnip $5.49
This is a nice scratching pad for all sizes of spaces.  It is small enough to put in a corner and it has catnip included too.  No more clawing the couch!
Oliver's Take
Oliver went crazy the second I brought in the box.  He really wanted to know what was in the box.  He tried to get a couple of the toys too!  Oliver loved the treats and toys.  He is an older cat but he acted much younger playing with these toys.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: This box had a total value of $58.10.  Oliver really enjoyed this box.  Anything with catnip is a great toys in his book.  I love that this company focuses on cats.  If you are a dog lover, a dog box is coming soon!  This is a great box for a cat and you can save 15% on your first order by using the code purr15.  Just click HERE to order.

The Fetch Box | December Review

The Fetch Box kindly sent me the December box.  I loved the first box, and you can read that review here.  The Fetch Box was started by a teen because the other “time of the month” boxes were too old for her.  She wanted to create something that would perfect for young girls.  There is a first time variety pack, where a girl is sent a welcome letter, a monthly calender, 20 pads/tampons, 5 liners and additional beauty, snack or health related stuff.  The Fetch Box is $13.00 a month plus $5.00 shipping.  When you sign up for your first box, you pay half off!  Just use the code First Box and get 50% off your first box, including shipping and put “Erin Hamm” in the comment box.
When you pick your box, you have several options
Tampon variety pack (they pick)
  Pad variety pack (they pick)
  Assorted variety pack (they pick)
  FIRST TIME Pack (first period or newly started)
Choose my own
If you choose your own, there is a list of all the brands below.  You can check the brand name and the specific type you want.  There are many different choices, so I think everyone will find the type they want.
I received the variety pack for review.
The Box
 The Fetch Box is shipped in a plain white box.  This way, family or the post man won't know what's in the box.
First Look
Packages
Everything was packaged in individual packages.
Information Card
There was a list of all the products in the box.  A complete list of the “personal” products was listed on another sheet.
December 2013 Variety Pack
 The Fetch Box included information about all the tampons, pads and panty liners.
2 Summers Eve Cleansing Cloths: Sheer Floral Scent
Organyc Brand Tampon
 I love the Summer's Eve cleansing cloths.  They are a nice bonus item.  The Organyc was new to me.  I found out that many brands of tampons are bleached with chlorine.  Yikes!
Cute nail tool and nail polish
 This wet and wild nail polish is a rose/mauve color with a bit of sparkle.  The nail scissors are super cute as well.
Treats
Included in the box were several treats:
 Russell Stover Marshmallow Santa
Pringles Stix Pizza flavor
Starbucks Hot Cocoa Marshmallow
These are my kind of treats.  I already sampled the marshmallow Santa and the Pringles stix.  The hot cocoa sounds really tasty too.
Pads
 1 purple with blue U Kotex tween
1 purple with pink U Kotex long pad
1 yellow Always ultra thin thin regular pad
1 purple with yellow and pink flowers Always Radiant Infinity regular
1 blue Stayfree maxi regular pad
Liners
 1 blue Always liner
2 pink with flower Carefree liners
2 purple U Kotex thin liners
Tampons
The Fetch Box included 15 Tampons
2 blue U Kotex regular
2 black U Kotex Sleek super
2 green Playtex Sport super
2 white with yellow Playtex Gentle Glide regular
2 white with purple flower Tampax Radiant regular
2 bright yellow Tampax Pearl Compak regular
2 bright purple Tampax Pearl Compak light
Final Thought: This was a great box.  The variety box was filled with a variety of great name brand pads and tampons.  This box is perfect for girls who just started their period and don't know what brand/types they prefer.  Once your preferences are know, you can pick exactly what brands/types you want in your box.  I love the extras and treats in the box.  If I were to subscribe to a time of the month box, I would choose The Fetch Box.  You can try you first box for half off but using the code First Box and putting my name in the comment box “Erin Hamm”.  Just click HERE to order.

December Ipsy Review

Ipsy is a great subscription for people who love trying new beauty and makeup items.  It is only $10.00 a month and you get about 5 items in a great beauty bag.  You fill out a survey about your makeup preferences and then Ipsy sends a bag geared to your preferences.  Once you get your bag, you can review your items online, and tell Ipsy what you think. I love the beauty bags and how well they can be used for so many things.  I have some in my purse and I use some for travel.  I have found some great new make up items from getting Ipsy.  If you are interested in trying Ipsy, you can click here to sign up.
The envelope
 I love Ipsy's envelopes.  They are very study and can be reused to ship other things.
First Look
 I love the black bag this month.  It could be used as a tiny purse or just a glam make up bag in your purse.  I used some points to buy a beauty blender.
Celebration
This month's Ipsy theme was Celebration
NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick $4.00
 I will wear this will a brighter shade of lipstick to add a little shimmer.  It applies very smoothly.
Be A Bombshell The One Stick Flustered $16.00
 This is my favorite product in the bag.  It can be used as eye shadow, blush or lipstick!  This is a great color
POP Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio
Naturally Bare $7.20
I would prefer the grey trio but this is a nice neutral palette that will look great on
Mirabella Eye Blender Brush $27.00
 This is a great eye shadow blending brush.  It doesn't loose it's bristles when you use it and blends shadow very well.  I can't believe Ipsy included a $27.00 brush in the bag
Nicka K New York Nail Color Classic Taupe $4.99
I would have preferred the red color, but this is a nice color too.  Maybe I can add a glitter polish to spice it up.
The Whole Bag

Final Thought:  This month's Ipsy bag was pretty great.  The total value of this month's bag was worth $58.00!  This is a great subscription and is very affordable.  What did you think of this month's Ipsy bag?  If you are interested in signing up for Ipsy, click HERE.

December UBOX College Subscription Box Review | #ubox4u

UBOX kindly sent me this box for review.  UBOX is a college subscription box that sends college students a box full of fun and useful items. I would have loved to have a college subscription box back in the day.  This is a nice and easy way to send care packages to your loved ones. UBOX strives to feature products that are college start ups, socially responsible, or innovative (or cool).  If you want to subscribe, go to www.ubox4u.com 
UBOX includes a mix of products from the following categories:
                      a.  Home Away from Home-Stuff for your dorm room
                      b.  Me, Myself and Items-Self improvement items or items you can use by yourself
                      c.  School is Cool-School related stuff
                      d.  For the Techie in You-New or cool gadgets
                      e.  Care to Share?-Things you can do or share with your friends
                      f.  Awesome Snacks-Food!
The Box
UBOX usually uses a different, better looking box.  They included a note this time that said “We had to make some last minute adjustments with the packaging to fit in some extra goodies”.
Syllabus
UBOX has the best information sheet.  It is themed as a syllabus.  It has office hours, objectives, and more.  The list of contents in the box is listed as “materials overview”.  This is a very unique way to share all the important information.
Lucky Brand Laila Plaid Scarf $39.00
This is a beautiful, soft scarf.  I love that it is a Lucky Brand scarf.  I couldn't find this exact scarf online, but I found a similar scarf.  This is perfect for those walks between classes.
3 Pack of Energems and a $1.00 coupon: $8.50
Flavrz Energy Add in $2.80 for 2
Yogi Vanilla Spice Perfect Energy Tea (2 packets) .40 cents
UBOX included many items to make sure college students stay awake during finals, or on that long car ride home for holiday break. The energems came in 3 flavors: chocolate charge, peanut butter blast, and mint fusion.  Each piece has 15 calories, b vitamins and caffeine.  They actually taste good too!  The tea is 100% natural is designed to energize the body and focus the mind.  The flavrz drink drop in water to give you an energy kick.  These are great after working out too.

Grab Green 3 in 1 laundry detergent  $1.07
Grab Green Bleach Alternative  .50 cents
Dr Bonners Magic Soap 2 oz Peppermint Hemp  $1.18
UBOX wants to make sure college students smell clean.  The Grab Green laundry detergent is great because they are little pods.  These take up a small amount of room and clean lots of laundry .  The Dr Bommers has in invigorating scent and has 18 different uses!  This stuff will not only leave you cleaner but healthier.
Moldex Pura-Fit Ear Plugs ( 2 qty)-$2.00
Oxford Ruled Index Cards $3.76
Dream Water $2.00
Bic Wite Out $2.50
Of course you can't have a college box without study aids.  Index cards are a must for speeches and flash cards.  Ear plugs are always handy in a dorm.  If you are writing a paper, wite out is always helpful.  The Dream Water is 0 calories and designed to help you sleep and relax without drugs.
Starrily Barbie's First Christmas Nail Polish $10.00
Bonus item: Money perfume samples his and her
This nail polish is very cute and fun!  UBOX threw in samples of the scent Money.  Her Money has a very nice floral scent and His Money smells fantastic.  It has a musk smell to it.
Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn $1.00
Ghiradelli Holiday Squares (4) $1.00
Who doesn't like getting treats?  These Ghiradelli squares are wonderful.  The peppermint bark is my favorite. Popcorn is great for late night movies or study sessions.
The Joy Factory Waterproof Sleeve $3.21
This is a water proof sleeve for you smart phone.  There is a hole at the top of the bag, so you can clip it toy your purse or backpack.  This is great for keeping your phone dry and safe.  I am going to use this when I run.
Gift Bag, Card and Tissue $2.00
This was a nice added touch to the box.  College students don't get much time to shop before the holidays.  This is great for putting together that last Christmas present.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value of this box was $80.92!  This box costs only $35.00, so I am really happy with this value.  The box was great and filled with so many useful and fun things.  The scarf was my favorite item of the box.  The waterproof sleeve is very unique and new to me.  That is a great addition to this box.  I also enjoy how UBOX included items for so many different things: energy, studding, snacks, beauty, etc.  If you are interested in signing up for UBOX, click HERE.
Remember!  There is currently a UBOX 3 month giveaway going on, click HERE to enter.
