June Ditsies Review

Ditsies is a monthly subscription box that sends you a panty a month for $12. If you'd like to find out more about them, you can find out on my Subscription Box List. For June, I changed up my preferences so that I'd get something different from May. Right now, they have two different options to choose from.

They send their panty in a plain white package. That way no one will know you got some underwear in there coming to your mail. It's all very discreet which is good because sometimes my mail goes through many different hands before it reaches me.

The little bag that it comes in is also super cute! I really love the details that go into the whole packaging. It would be great for gifting jewelry or other small things. So I'm definitely keeping the bag for some other purpose.

So this is the panty that I got. It is the brazilian cheeky style. So basically it's like a thong. When I took this out, I immediately thought it was too big. Unfortunately, I was right. It did not quite fit right in the lower area. Mainly it was just too loose. That's too bad because I really liked it.

Overall, Ditsies is a great subscription service but I ended up cancelling my subscription. Why? They don't offer the size XS. I'm definitely not a small as evidenced by the panty not fitting me. Sometimes being tiny is not a good thing. This is one of them, it's much harder to find much of anything that fits me correctly. If you fall into the average size and aren't extraordinarily tiny like me, then you should definitely give Ditsies a try. They have quality underwear. It's just not for me but only because of the size.

Do you subscribe to Ditsies? What did you think? Is the size a good fit?

Disclosure: I bought this subscription. I was not compensated for my post. All opinions expressed are my own.

Ad Wins + Meet the Blogs

Today is brought to you by another win! Yay! I can't believe my luck in this one. So I entered the June Group Giveaway over at My So-Called Chaos. I know, you've been seeing that name a lot. It's only because Miss Angie's blog is awesome.

There were tons of stuff being given away in this one. The best thing was that I won my first pick in the prizes! Ad space on four different blogs. Yep, four! So here is a little look at what has been going on in my life along with a look at the blogs that my button can be found on. Oh yes, if you haven't seen it, I added two new buttons! What do you think?

Finally got a good picture with those earrings from my Wantable box! That's about as nice as you're gonna get. Anyways, a lot has been going on with me. Here's a little run down.

• I've been cancelling some box subscriptions that I feel don't really fit me. So you'll see some new box reviews cause now I'll have money to try new ones.
• I signed up for Cara Box this month! So far I love it and can't wait for the reveal! It's super exciting to shop for someone else. I'm also insanely curious about what I'll get.
• I've been really loving the customer service that I get with some of my subscription boxes. Specifically Bulu Box, Birchbox Man, and Wantable. Seriously, they are awesome when it comes to customer service.
• I recently discovered that Richmond, CA is like the black hole of the USPS shipping system. Seriously, every box I ever ordered that got sent there has disappeared. Thankfully, I eventually got them like 2-3 weeks later. I mean, what's up with that?
• I'm planning a giveaway for next month, so keep an eye out for that.

And that's it for me right now. Onto the blogs! Check them out and be sure to drop in and say hi if you get a chance. I'm so lucky that I get to have my button displayed on their blogs for free.

"I'm Holly, a 30-something mom of two who blogs over at Back Home Again about my family and our adventures, life and my attempts to live a green lifestyle. My obsessions are the Kardashians, Starbucks and anything and everything British."

"Hi my name is Becca and I write for Everyday Life a blog that like me  is creative chaos. I write a little about a lot and though i'm no great writer I do keep it real and honest.

June Wantable Jewelry Review

I bet you were wondering where my Wantable box review went especially since I said I'd never cancel my subscription. Well, I didn't cancel it. I just skipped my makeup one so I could try the jewelry one. Since the makeup one was so impressive, I totally wanted to test the jewelry one. For those that don't know what Wantable is, you can find out more information at my Subscription Box List.

I had the hardest time finding jewelry subscription boxes that I really wanted to try. I like small vs. big and simple vs. complex. Many boxes seemed to showcase jewelry that just was too much for me. Since Wantable allows you to customize what you can possibly get, I was all for trying it.

    

Let me tell you, Wantable ships so fast. I almost couldn't believe it. While I had been waiting for some of my boxes for more than 2 weeks, this one came in about a week from when I ordered it. So not only do they customize it but it ships fast. Once again, they included a list of what products were included in my box. This one featured Lisa Eurdolian from prettyconnected.com.  

Okay, so you know that they care about your products arriving to you safely when it's packed with that much stuffing. Seriously, I couldn't even pack it back in. It took up pretty much the whole box. Then I discovered all the jewelry and accessories at the bottom of it. Like digging for treasure!

Loretta Necklace ($22): I love this necklace! I've always wanted a multi-strand necklace but never got around to buying one. Thought that would be my fault. I spend my money on food not jewelry. Plus it looks amazing on me! Well, I did take a long time to get ready that day too. Bee saw the picture and said I look hot. Seriously, he doesn't compliment me often so when he does I just about pass out from happiness. That picture of it alone does not do it justice. The coloring is more grey for the beads.

Betsy Earring ($20): Yep, that is what they are called on the information paper. I think these earrings are so cute! I love them. Would I have bought them if I had seen it myself? No. Am I glad I got them? Umm, yes! Wantable rocks because they send me stuff I would never go and buy myself but love! Totally a keeper. Oh, and that is why I don't smile in my pictures often because my eyes are not the same size and it becomes more obvious when I smile. 

Julie Lynn Headband ($20): I'm not a big headband fan because they don't look good on me. I wish I did match them though. I've always loved headbands but for some reason they don't like me in return. This one was super cute too. I think I'll give it away as a gift to a family member. There is a ton of birthdays coming up. This would make a great present.

Hadley Earring ($20): So I had a picture of me wearing these but didn't put it up. Why? Because I felt I looked terrible in the picture. It was not the earrings fault though. I love these. I'm such a huge hoops fan. My favorite earrings used to be these salmon pick hoops until my sister wore them and destroyed them. So glad I got these. They are so gorgeous! They look heavy but aren't at all. I love the color of it too. Totally my style.

Katy Sunglasses ($15): This was the only thing in the box I was not excited about. First off, I'm not a huge fan of floral print. It's probably due to the fact that I live in Hawaii and I definitely see enough floral print to last me several lifetimes. Second, I only wear super expensive Oakley sunglasses. So quality is very important to me. They are cute but definitely not for me.

Overall, the value of the box equaled to $97. Now that is a deal. This box only cost $36. Seriously, how great is that? You know you are getting a great value for the money you spend on any Wantable box you get. This is my second box from this company and it did not disappoint at all. I'm so glad I signed up for the jewelry box too. Even if I don't like the sunglasses, I loved everything else.

Sing Along on Monday: Musical Mondays

This was entirely unplanned. But I went over to My So-Called Chaos and read her Musical Mondays post. Totally love that cover that she posted. If you haven't checked out Miss Angie, you should. In a previous post, her blog was included in my post 3 Blogs I Love To Read. So thank you to her for the inspiration!

Reading her post and listening to the song she posted made me think of a certain channel that I follow. So here is a video of a mash-up made by a one Kurt Schneider. I love watching the videos he makes and listening to his takes on hit songs. Definitely gives me a fresh perspective on songs I love and songs I don't really love.




Enjoy! Don't forget to check out Miss Angie! She has a giveaway going on right now posted on her blog.

Have any amazing mash-ups you love? Share them with me! As a huge musical, but not talented, person, I love discovering new music and artists.

June Birchbox Man Review

About: Birchbox is basically a way to discover new products via samples that they send. It costs $20 a month for the men's box and shipping is free. For men, it includes grooming products along with lifestyle products from socks to tech accessories. By shopping, referring friends, and giving feedback, you gain points that can be used towards future purchases. You can't put your subscription on hold but you can cancel at anytime. There is a wait for this box so sign up early if you plan to subscribe. Please use my referral link if you do sign up!

    

This is what it looks like! I love how the box looks. It has a very neat, professional look to it. I also think it's pretty awesome that it slides out like a little drawer. Definitely one of the coolest boxes I've ever gotten even if it wasn't exactly for me. I actually signed up for this box because I know Bee is always looking for good products to use in his grooming routine. Sometimes it's just hard for him to decide because he doesn't want to spend tons of money only to find out that product doesn't work for him. Thus, this box is pretty much awesome for him.

As you can see, one of the products actually leaked. I'll talk about that later. I do love that they include a little information card on each product and how to use it. I mean, sometimes you just gotta point out the obvious. No harm in leaving directions for everything. Well, I guess you don't need directions for how to put socks on.

Richer Poorer Socks ($24): Wow! These socks are kind of expensive. I mean, I'm used to buying those cheap packs of them. Then again, I don't wear shoes that often but Bee does and he buys the cheapest socks he can find. I was a little skeptical about these. Bee favors ankle high socks but he said he would totally rock the green ones. Yay! The other pair went to my brother who said he'll wear them when he goes to San Diego for his baseball trip.

GO247 Shave Cream ($8): This was the product that leaked. Thank goodness they put it in a plastic baggy and wrapped it up because otherwise it would've been a hot mess in that box for sure. I would say this is a deluxe size sample because the actual one is 4 oz. Too bad like 1/3 of it leaked out. Bee did like it when he shaved. I'm not really sure if he would buy it though.

John Allan's Slickwater Pre-Shave Solution ($ ???): This sample is so tiny that I could not put an estimate on it. A whole 2 oz. bottle of it is $30 so this sample is probably worth more than $1. Bee really liked it. He didn't have any nicks or razor burn. So the combination of this plus the shaving cream worked really great. It is kinda pricey though. But overall, he really liked this one.

Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser ($ ???): Yeah, that thing was tiny. I saw this in other reviews and I have to agree with how small it is. Jongy was quite interested in it when I opened it up. It's always fun to open my boxes when both my cats are around to explore with me since Bee is usually at work. The 4 oz. container is $32.95. I ended up trying this one day. It made my skin feel super clean. I liked it but I'm not a huge fan. It totally cleans your face good though. Luckily, I got a small face and there is still more for me to use.

Old Spice Pure Sport Bar Soap ($5.31): This was what was making that box smell so good! When I first opened the outer box, it smelled amazing. Seriously, I was all like, "OMG! This smells like a hot guy!" Haha! Bee thought it smelled good too. I opened it when he picked me up from work. We didn't even have to test this. As huge fans of Old Spice and loyal customers, we already know how much this rocks. I'm so glad they gave this as a little bonus item! That and it's the actual whole soap bar, not a sample. Bee loved getting this!

Overall, the value was way higher than the $20 price. It's so worth it to get this box that it isn't even funny. I'm so, so, so in love with Birchbox for men and I'm not even a man. Great samples to try out and a freaking amazing bonus item. I can't wait to see what we get in our July box! It's too bad it takes forever and a day to get to Hawaii. We almost received this box in July.
