Birch Box - Something Fun to Try

If quarantine has been good for one thing it is that I've tried some new things!  I always see Facebook posts about various "boxes" you can order.  I read a post recently that compared a few of the different make-up/hair boxes and I liked what was said about Birch Box.  I had tried Ipsy quite awhile ago and didn't really like it.  Well, my first Birch Box came yesterday and it was fun!

 This is how it arrives - in this fun box.  It made me smile when I opened my mail box and saw this fun box.  
 Once the box is opened, you get this cute box too!  I'm sure super creative people would find ways to use this box but I'm not that creative. 
 Of course, these boxes are meant to make you feel good so a quote was included: 
"Dear self, Action also requires rest.  Give yourself the permission to do both"
 Here are the goodies waiting inside the box.  How fun! 
From left to right:
Mascara - I'm always up for trying a new mascara
Detangler - This is something that I will use - with curly hair I often end up using detangler to get the knots out. 
Pillow Spray - It says it will help you sleep better.  We will see!
Hand Sanitizer - For Real.  AND it smells good!  
Hand Lotion - It is really silky smooth and also smells great
And in the front - a sample of perfume. 

I love that they are all sample sizes so if you hate it, it isn't a waste BUT if you love it, you can find it on line (or in the store) and buy it.  Of course, you can also purchase it from Birch Box (That perfume is $80.00 for a bottle  . . wowzer!) 

This box only cost $10.60 because there was a credit for signing up and I also chose the "monthly" subscription so I can cancel at any time.  A normal box is $15.00.  I am going to go ahead and try it for another month and then I will see if I want to keep it going.
