You can also choose whether or not you would like watches or not as well as earrings or no earrings. They “include simple pieces that go well with the ‘everyday’ outfit, or that can be dressed up for a special event or night out.” They have two options: 1) mintMONGOOSE: for $12+s/h you will receive 3 pieces of jewelry a month (with a retail value of $40+) or 2) mintMONGOOSE BLACK: for $22.99 (free shipping) you will receive 4 pieces of jewelry, plus 2 accessories (one of which you get to pick!). BLACK box accessories include “things like nail polish, scarves, small handbags, socks and more.” And both subscriptions receive 25-50% off all jewelry and accessories on their website. Also if you “snag at least $40 worth of goodies from [their] shop” your next monthly box is free! How awesome is that?! 

I personally subscribe to their mintMONGOOSE Black box and I am so loving this box! I receive my beautiful shiny blue package in the mail and couldn't wait to see what goodies I get inside!

So, here is a looksee of what I received. I am super excited to go through each item! They are so cute!

I received an email at the beginning of this month asking to choose one of my 2 accessories. I have to admit that at first glance of the goodies that I received I knew that what I had wanted was not included in my package. So I admit that I was a bit sad about that. I had requested for a pineapple makeup pouch (the other one was a watermelon, which was just as cute!) But I do love floral and polka dots, so I'm not complaining! This one is cute too!

Another one of the options that I could have chosen was this black drawstring bag, which I did not choose, but was added in my pack as well. Again, I am not complaining, because look how cute it is! I will be traveling this weekend and I am going to be using this bag for sure!

I was super surprised to receive a third accessory! But I'm so glad that I did get this Brow Comb and Brush because I was going to buy one anyways! I needed a new one! So this is perfect. I also like the brand e.l.f. so that's awesome that I got this product in a brand that I already use. 

I love how they package the jewelry in it's own separate box. I love this mint/teal color and I love the presentation of the mongoose wax seal! That takes time to do...and I don't even know how many they have to do! So that is a wow dedication factor!

Inside the box is this thank you/yay it's here card and a sweet treat! I love these candys!

And inside the separate box the jewelry is wrapped up in a beautiful teal/mint colored tissue paper! I super appreciate the effort that they put into the packaging!

The first jewelry that [literally] fell out of the tissue paper package was this beautiful rose gold -colored adjustable ring. This is my first time receiving the color rose gold for my jewelry. And it was the first time they offered! I'm super glad because I love this color...and I love this ring!

My second piece of jewelry are these cute studs. They are so dainty and lightweight!

I am loving this necklace! They match the studs and I love the rose gold color!

My final jewelry is the cute adjustable beaded bracelet. I have been wearing beaded jewelry lately and so this one will go nice with my beaded jewelry collection!

And that was all my jewelry! I love them all! They feel like top quality jewelry and I can see myself using these pieces over and over again and again!

I love this this jewelry &accessory subscription. It keeps my jewelry collection fresh with new pieces monthly at an affordable price. I also love their website which has a lot of cute jewelry pieces from their previous boxes. I recommend subscribing to this company if you like jewelry and need that monthly jewelry pick-me-up!

Another thing that is always included in this pack is a pre-stamped postcard. As a lover of postcards, this one is fun to keep…or send to a friend!

Now onto this wonderful pack of stickers!

The first sticker that caught my attention was this HUGE puffy sticker of a narwhale! I love how they have started to added these collectable puffy stickers! They are so fun to give out or to use in whatever project you need them for! LOVE!

Anything that has to do with the ocean always is a plus in my book! 

This month, Pipsticks collaborated with Once More With Love and she designed these cute sticker sheets exclusive for Pipsticks! I totally approve! They are simply adoreable!

I love all the stickers that I got and I am excited to add these to my collection of stickers! A person can never have too many stickers!

The Blend Box: Art & Expression

The Blend Box is a personalized subscription box that has a variety of themes to choose from each month. Not only do you get to choose the them you would like next month, but you have the option of customizing and adding bonus items in your box for the next month! The creator of this box has created a community (club) on Facebook that is unlike any other that I have encountered for a subscription box…and for that alone, (for me), it is worth what you pay. (Please note, you need to subscribe first BEFORE joining the FB group...repeat Subscribe first BEFORE joining the FB group! Mahalo!) Each box is $24.88 a month, however you have the option to choose a plan that works for you. The more months you subscribe too, the better the discount per box each month. And it is always FREE SHIPPING. Some of the themes that you can choose for this box is: Cactus Hug~BOHO~Beach~Kitchen~Secret Agent~Seduction~Refined Man~Beauty~Galaxy~Art&Expression~Glow~Sugar Skulls~Punk Rock~Happy Hangover~Cat Lady~Deluxe Dog~Kids~Butterfly~Mermaid~Owl~Unicorn~I Love Llamas!...and the list can keep going on since the creator likes to come up with new boxes.

This month I received the Art & Expression box.

The first thing/s that I noticed in my box was this mini blank canvas and this cute mini easel! I love to pain and my fingers and MIND is itching to paint again (this move is KILLING ME! All my art supplies are boxed up, but I do have a craft “room” now! I just need to unpack my stuff first!) I can feel a picture just waiting to painted out!

This miniature acrylic painting so pretty! I am going to place this in my craft “room”! I want lots of paintings posted up for inspiration! I love how it was also signed by the artist! How cool!

I had specifically asked for that pink, ocean-themed contact case. Although I rarely use contacts any longer, I am planning to place small earrings in there since I am constantly changing out my earrings (or if my keiki pull OUCH! one out of my ear, I have back up!)

I am excited to use the muli-purpose scarf! I love highlighters and my favorite thing in this box is the travel-sized colored pencils!

They came in their own carrier case WITH a built-in pencil sharpener! I can just throw these into my purse and I am good to go! Love it!

I didn’t receive any bonuses in this box and I knew that I was suppose to, so I contacted the creator and she replied with-in 3 minutes (if not faster!) with an apology! She had posted onto our FB group that she was a bit overwhelmed this month with the packing of the boxes (she is a one-person company…and super rockin’ it!), so I wasn’t upset…she got on it right away! And I super appreciate that about her! I’m telling you! Communication is awesome in this group!

This is one of my favorite subscription boxes for a reason. The items that you get in the box might not be top quality, but they are fun and worth it, in my opinion. If for some reason you don’t like something in your box, it is always easy to find someone that would like. The key to this subscription is communication. Communicate to the creator and tell her what you like and what you don’t like. She will listen to you and take note. She is constantly trying to better herself and the box she is customizing FOR YOU. Subscribe; it’s always nice to have some fun and random in your life. 😊 [Another friendly reminder: Please subscribe first BEFORE you join the FB group!]

Each monthly pack comes with 5+ sticker sheets (some are exclusive sheets to Stickii!), 1 sticker flakes bag, and 2-3 stationery items all in their very own STICKII STORAGE!  Each month is a different theme for all styles, which they usually do sneak peeks of on their IG account. Subscribe to one style or multiple styles, it's up to you; it’s a must have subscription for sticker lovers (like myself!) :)

This month’s theme for the pop pack is Time and Space and I couldn’t be more happier with it! Nature amazes me and space and the ocean are places that I will forever be curious about. Time has always amazed me as well…one of the few consistent things in life…time. 

The first time that I like to look at when I receive this a Stickii pack is their sticker flakes. I hope they never stop sending sticker flakes! I just love them and these ones did not disappoint! 

Gah! I am just loving these sticker sheets! I love how the one on the left is translucent. 

Jelly stickers and glitter stickers…my heart is happy! 

I can see myself using these stickers in my art journal! They are just so beautiful!

The notepad is super cute and I love how they started sending the patch and paperclip! 

And I always appreciate the Stickii storage that they send their stickers in! I wish they had started that from the beginning (I’ve been with this subscription for a few years now…), but I’m super glad that they have them now!

I loved this pack! I super loved this pack of stickers and stationary goodies! I can’t wait to start using them!
