Avalai  is another new-to-me TOM subscription service. I really do love these boxes because there is no going to the store,  or bribing your significant other to go for you.

Now select your flow and the day of the month you want your box shipped.  That’s it!

Avalai was gracious enough to send me this box for review purposes.

Here is what was inside:

• A super cute custom holder that fits a few pads, tampons, wipes and Advil. Mine is a pink and white chevron print. It will fit perfect in my work go bag.
• Cottonelle Cleansing Cloths
• Blume Body Scrub ~ According to their website each month you’ll get one of their Blume products. Blume is an exclusive line of bath products created by Avalai
• TREATS!  Teas, candy and a snack bar.

This is just the right amount of product that I can just carry to work and leave in my locker. (I work 12 hour shifts) I love forward to next month’s box.

May’s inspiration comes from the Glowing Sun, Mother’s Day, Fresh Flowers, Beach Bums, ColorsXX and the California Sun.

Sisters of Los Angeles ~ Surf Sand Love Beach Towel  ($40) This beach towel was designed just for Popsugar.

Hammond’s Candies ~ McCraw’s Flat Taffy ($1)

Kitsch ~ Tri’d & True Y-Shaped Necklace ($32) I’m not big on necklaces but I love how simple and dainty this is. It’s a keeper! I tossed the cute box it game in so I wouldn’t be tempted to trade or gift it. 🙂

Sage & Bow ~ Bare Shave Cream ($17) This has a nice clean scent. I can’t wait to try it.

Batiste ~ Dry Shamoo ($4) I don’t care for dry shampoo but this one I’ll try. It’s cherry scented!

Middle Kingdom ~ Mini Plum Vase in Coral Red ($20) Another ready to give item. Again, I’ll be keeping this one. It’s just too cute and screams for daises .

Here are somewhat better pictures of the towel and necklace.

Nadine West is a monthly subscription box that is a tad different than others.  It is totally free to join and there are no payments. Just set up a profile, fill out a style quiz and you’re set!

This subscription provides a shopping experience by registering “what you like” over time. Every month, customers receive surprise packages of clothing as well as various pieces of jewelry mailed to their residence free of charge. The items can then be kept (for our uniform pricing) or returned free of charge. This allows people to not only have a personal experience, but also to try on items at their homes completely free prior to committing to purchase.

This is my second month. The first month I scent back a scarf and a necklace. I kept and was charged for the earrings. A price list is sent with your items as well as a prepaid sticker to put back on your original envelope. How easy is that?

I scent all of May’s items back. Beautiful pieces, but just not for me.  I may retake my Style Quiz to see if it switches up a bit. That’s another thing I like about this sub. It’s totally customizable.  Take the Style Quiz as often as you like. or E-mail them with likes/dislikes. Here was my bag:

Icy Floral Earring $9.99

Martini Drop Statment Necklace $24.99

Tribal Sunrise Scarf. $17.99

Do you know of any other inexpensive outfit subscriptions that are this hassle free?

I didn’t pay for my bag this month, regardless all opinions are mine. MizD

CandyClub is a premium candy subscription box that sends 3+ pounds of candy to your door. You get 3 canisters of candy, a bonus treats find, and a “Splash”  of something extra!

PRICE:  $27.99 + $6 shipping. There are also 6 and 12 month options that lower your monthly cost.

COUPON: Use code HELLO15 to receive $15 off your first box.

I just wanted to add that the back of the information card has the nutritional facts for each candy and the Splash candy as well.

Here is what I got this month.

Gimbal’s Sour Gourmet Jelly Beans ~ Gimbal’s has the most amazing flavors and are as close to the real thing as I’ve ever tasted. They are made with REAL fruit juice and you can definitely tell. I also loved the fresh taste. Flavors include blueberry, pomegranate, grapefruit, cherry, apple, mango, strawberry, lime, grape, lemon, tangerine and watermelon.

Haribo Gummy Techno Bears ~ VERY vibrant colors flavored with cherry, sour raspberry and apple. My boyfriend snarffed these in one day!! Again, very fresh tasting.

Sour Power Wild Cherry Belts ~ Oh now we’re talking! I love sour candy and these did not disappoint! Pucker power x 10 for me.

The “Splash” is basically loose candy tossed in the box. I got Sweet’s Salt Water Taffy. I’d day the amount given was almost equal to the canister size.

My boyfriend and I loved this box! He stole the jelly beans and bears while I coveted the cherry belts and taffy! The canisters will also be upcycled to hold loose items like nuts, bolts, buttons and cat treats. NOTHING in this box went to waste. 🙂

I happily paid for this box and all opinions are mine.  MizD

These soaps smell amazing and the one I used so far didn’t make my skin flakey. I am totally going to sub to this box. Bar soaps are my new obsession and I’m glad I found this box.

The two full size are: African Violet (fruity/floral) and Honeysuckle (floral).

The two half size are: White Tea Mint (Strong mint smell) & Cherry Almond (contains soothing oatmeal). I wish the Cherry almond would have been a full size. It’s almost gone! I love love love the smell.

I’m finding more and more homemade bar soaps on the market now and I’m loving them, as I’m loving this box. Do you use bar soaps?

My brown SUPER QUICK SHIPPED box was stuffed with so many items!

Luckily this box showed up two days before my cycle started. OH it came in so handy. I felt so pampered and taken care of. What a perfect gift this would make!

Even though the box was plain, it wasn’t of concern. I’m not paying for pretty boxes. It’s the contents that count. It is nice though to get a card listing the items. A bloggers friend.

40 feminine products ~ I got various sizes of pads, liners, two discrete bags, two hygiene wipes and Advil. All of these items came in a red bag that can easily be stashed under the sink or in a work locker. 🙂

8 snacks plus candies ~ Too many to list here.

Teas and a HUGE Vitamin water.

Pampering Items ~ PMS ( Pamper Me Spa) Body Lotion, bath salts and a bath bomb. Plus some hair ties.  OH and a tea lite candle.

Special gifts ~ A cute water bottle. The bottom detaches to add snacks to it. GENIUS! I also got a homemade Cozy Sock (heating pad)

Thank you Code Red Crate for my box. I will be subscribing once I run out of product.

I was given this box for review purposes, but all opinions are my own. ~MizD
