BOXTERA? I’M READY TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL
I’m semi-ashamed to admit that many of the decisions I make in life surround food. If I’m not knee-deep in trying to be healthy, I’m in over my head stuffing my face with something naughty. “Feeding frenzy” is my middle name – I’m 99% sure of it. Luckily, I’ve got some help, with my ummmm….problem. Cue, Boxtera.
Since I have started up the Insanely Huge Directory of Subscription Boxes, I’ve had the opportunity to seriously look into some pretty darn awesome subscription boxes. Boxtera is one of those. The hub and I have found that in order to survive gaining 4,000 pounds each month via naughty snacks, we 100% need healthy snack alternatives. And, since I’m pretty sure neither of us make enough dough to hire a personal chef and trainer like the celebs do, we lean to the next best option. A subscription box that delivers a bunch of healthy snacks to my door every month. Holla!!!!
THE SCOOP:
Boxtera offers a monthly subscription of organic snacks, foods and sometimes a beverage delivered to your home or office.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX:
- You get approximately 25 servings of organic snacks
WHAT’S IT GONNA COST:
-
$40 bucks a month (including shipping)
- 6-month membership is $32 bucks a month (including shipping)
- 1-year membership is $30 bucks a month (including shipping)
THE BONUS:
You can trust that products delivered from BOXTERA are made from organic wholesome ingredients. They strive to include products that are mostly gluten free, sometimes vegan, but always minimally processed and non-GMO.
STALK EM:
We have officially subscribed to this box and are LOVING what we get each month. Here’s the breakdown of what we got from our first box. I should mention that my box was a bit beefier than normal – there were some delays in receiving my box due to shipping issues, and the peeps over at Boxtera decided to send me EXTRA snacks for my troubles.

FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS! {Gourmet Spotting Subscription Box!}
Stop everything you are doing right now and feast your eyes on this favoloso subscription box. The husby and I recently had the pleasure of sampling Gourmet Spotting and it was a total love (especially, the pasta, popcorn, brownie, cookie and pancakes). Oh, wait. That’s everything.
Gourmet Spotting is a “curated culinary subscription service of gourmet food from local and international artisans.” I absolutely LOVE that the boxes include foods curated from outside the U.S. as well. Such a nice touch and a great way to feel like you are a “big time” foodie. Thank you Sandro Diazzi and Aman Sarkaria for developing a subscription service that sends FULL SIZE products. My taste buds want to give you a high five.
Everything you need to know about this yum-mo box is below the images (including a coupon code for $10 bucks off!). If food is your thang, then Gourmet Spotting is totes worth signing up and checking out yourself. Mangia! Mangia!
ELI ZABAR BLONDIE: Let’s start off with this brownie. We did. We opened the box, grabbed the camera lickity-split, took the shot and devoured this baby whole. It was a naughty, and it felt naughty. Mission accomplished.
BACORN: The makers of this snack couldn’t have created something better suited for my belly – two of my faves (popcorn & bacon), smoooshed together in a masterpiece of OMG. Love. Didn’t want to share.
STRANGOZZI WITH SUMMER TRUFFLE: I’m a total idiot and thought these cute lil’ birdy nest shapped Strangozzi’s where going to stay in birdy nest shape. But, duh. Either way, I’m not a huge fan of truffle, but this was a total surprise love. I kept it simple, with a drizzle of EVOO and some parmesan/romano cheese. The man fancied it up with some red sauce. He’s crazy like that. WOOT!
ELI ZABAR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE: I realize now that I’m a big fat liar. I was thinking the brownie was the first thing we opened and devoured, but it was actually this gigundo cookie followed immediately by the brownie. Can you say fatty-pants? Anyway…um, can a chocolate Chip cookie ever be bad? No. No it can’t.
SHORTCAKES PANCAKE / WAFFLE MIX: We have not tried this yet. But, I continue to fawn over this container which is SO cute! I will update you when we give it a taste. I’m sure these will be awesome…with bacon…and hashbrowns….and….I just died.
Time to hook yourself up!

SUBSCRIPTION BOX REVIEW {Indie Gift Box}
Awesome blog reader, meet Indie Gift Box. Indie Gift Box? Meet awesome blog reader. Now that you’ve been cordially introduced, I’ll tell you why you should remain BFF’s for the rest of your life. No seriously. This is going to be one of those best friendships that stands the test of time. I’m probably going to be jealous. For reals-ies.
I recently had the opportunity to scope out this dyno-mite “box” and let me tell you, I was super-duper impressed. Like, a lot. Instead of a “box”, my goods actually arrived in a USPS envelope. I was cautiously curious as I opened (ok, tore through it like a wolverine) and was more than pleasantly surprised by what was inside. I’m thinkin’ the awesome that was now mine (all mine!) was probably too big for an itty bitty box, anyway. All of the fine details are below so you can get your own, but first I gotta brag about the goods I got in February’s Custom Handmade Box.
WHAT WILL YOU CREATE TODAY NOTEBOOK via Make My Notebook: This adorably simple 100% recycled 5 x 7 notebook came to me in red (one of my fave colors, P.S.). Each book is filled with 70 “fantastic sheets” of combo paper (college rule lines on the front, all business…I mean grid lines on the back). And, if “Creating” isn’t your thang, you can choose from a bunch of other super-cutey-pants designs. Find yours: here (for $14 bucks)
20% OFF at 2 Be Loved: I sorta-kinda believe this part of the shipment was fate. I hate recently stumbled upon this adorable Han and Leia Conversation Star Wars Mug Set and was going to get it for the husby for V-day. But, I came up with a different plan, so the mug set sadly went on the “OMG this is awesome, but I’ll purchase it later” list. And…OMG, these are so awesome I just purchased them (and at 20% off thanks to my Indie Gift Box!!). Love them? I know…. Find yours: here (for $20 bucks)
I LOVE HANDMADE pencil via The Common Grade: I mean, it’s a pencil. An adorably pink pencil stamped with the words “I heart handmade”! Writing just isn’t fun unless you’re doing it with something cute. Duh. Find yours: here (for $1 dolla & 33 cents)
HAND STAMPED “CREATE” NECKLACE via Sebastian Design: I was stoked to receive this in my “box”. I am always on the hunt for unique/fun pieces of jewelry and this copper-y neck piece rocks. Plus, they threw in a coupon code for 15% off, so yeah. I’m kinda a big deal now. Find yours: here (for $19 bucks)
Bottom line? Indie Gift Box is a total win. If you like exploring unique products from independent artists (and, you like getting packages..I mean, you’re a total weirdo if you don’t) you’ve met your match. Check back in a couple of weeks (like, April-ish), because we’ll be giving one of these babies away to one lucky reader. Everything you need to hook yourself up is below. Love-fest.
THE SCOOP:
Indie Gift Box is a company dedicated to promoting independent artists and small businesses! They curate great items every month and organize them into themed boxes that you can purchase.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX:
- You get a themed box filled with different types of items. The themes change each month, follow the blog for the box theme announcement!
WHAT’S IT GONNA COST:
- Boxes are released once a month and are a limited supply.
- They don’t take advance payments or subscriptions, it’s first-come, first-served. Follow their blog for release dates!

SPONSORS & PALS SPOTLIGHT {march}
Oh, hai. I’m back. I hope you weren’t affected by the recent server issues the site’s been having. Freaking technology curse. Apparently some people wee able to access the site and others were not. I believe that the problem has been completely resolved…so, I’m hopin’, wishin’, and prayin’ that you can see this right now. Otherwise, I’m talking to…uh…nobody. And, that’s lame. Please send me a comment or lil’ love note so I know things are back on the up and up. Please and thaaaaaaaaanks.
Anyway…I wanted to take a second to brag about some amazing new companies I’ve recently had the pleasure of becoming affiliated with (that’s blog speak for “we’re having a torrid love affair”). Don’t be jealous – prepare to fall in love instead:
Hammock Pack has officially been rockin’ my subscription box lovin’ world for almost a year. Here’s why:
Each month (for $25 bucks) you get a super secret surprise pack filled with all the goods you need for a getaway (without even having to leave your house). Movie Night, Sailing & Ski Lodge are a sampling of some previous themes.
Honestly this box is a total score and so much fun to open! I am a subscriber of this box and will probably subscribe until the end of time.
Here’s a review showcasing my first ever Hammock Pack. And, stay tuned – I’ll be posting this month’s box in a couple of weeks. Love!
Click here to get the full scoop on Hammock Pack via my Insanely Huge Directory of Subscriptions.
In love. I have been scoping this box for like, a hundred and fifty years. Luckily, it’s my birthday month and my parental units have hooked me up with a subscription. I’ve received word that my package shipped and I’ve been stalking FedEx every day since, impatiently awaiting it’s arrival.
As a subscriber of the PopSugar Must Have box, you get $100 worth of full-size products (anything from books, soaps, make-up, apparel, health/fitness, etc). Check out their blog (via the link below) to see past boxes.
OMG, I can’t wait. Yes, I just said OMG.

Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who.
Oh, it was probably Bark Box.
Have you ever seen something so cute? A subscription box that sends goodies to your favorite furry bff every month? Man, I need to get myself a dog soon, I think. Maybe the birthday fairy is reading this and will give me the hook up.
Anyway, for $18 bucks / month you get a box in the mail that includes 4+carefully selected products and presents for your poochie-pants – anything from toys, bones and all-natural treats to hygiene products and innovative new gadgets!
BONUS? 10% of each sale goes towards supporting a rescue group!
I’m in love. Click here to get the full scoop on BarkBox via my Insanely Huge Directory of Subscriptions.
Every girl needs a lil’ black bag (or 27 of them).
So, naturally Little Black Bag (the subscription) is a must.
With Little Black Bag, you get to pick your first item (from hundreds of designer brands including Steve Madden, Cargo Cosmetics, BCBGeneration and Youngblood). Once you make your pick, the LBB stylists fill up your bag with 2-3 additional fashion items.
Best part? You can swap your items with other members on the site. I SO cannot wait to give em’ a try!

Dolla Dolla Shave ya’ll.
No seriously. This is a pretty legit subscription for your man – especially if he’s like my man, who shaves his beard at 6 am, and has full fur-face by 6:35 am.
All you do is select your razor style (I recommend the 4X, aka the “Lovers blade”). You pay a low monthly fee (from $1 buck to $9 bucks a month) and they send those babies straight to your front door.
Love, love, love.
Yippppeeeeeeeeeeee! Happy Monday and Happy subscription-boxing!
