I've received such great feedback from so many of you that are loving all the subscription box reviews that I have decided to keep reviewing a few more boxes. This week, I have three new subscriptions to share, a spoiler for the POPSUGAR Must Have box & some great promo codes to save you money on other boxes I love & think you will too!

First up is a new subscription called Kloverbox. Kloverbox was kind enough to send me their July box to review. Kloverbox is designed to help you discover premium, all-natural organic products for beauty, health, nutrition & convenience. Each month you will receive 6-8 premium products to sample, each from top brands & hand-picked by their health conscious curators. Kloverbox's assortment of large sample sizes has a retail value of $35-$50+ per box! Subscriptions start at $25 per month and include free shipping. Kloverbox also offers discounted three & six month subscriptions. 



For their first box, Kloverbox put together a very diverse assortment of products. I was really impressed as I had not seen or tried any of the products included in this box.

Here is what was included in the July Kloverbox:
- Ellison's Organic Nail Polish. (Value $9.50)
- Livia Pure Skin Care Creamy Shade Face Protector 30 SPF. (Value $10)
- Molly's Suds Laundry Powder (Value $2.75 each – 2 packs included.)
- Lemongrass Deodorant by Bella Lynn Naturals (Value $6.00)  
- Artisana 100% Organic Pure Ground Coconut Flesh ($1.80)
- The Good Bean roasted chickpeas (Value $1.90)
- Big Slice Apples (Value $2.80)
- Stall Mates Wipes (Value $0.39)

 
According to Kloverbox, the retail value of this month's box was $37.89! Everything I have had a chance to try has wowed me! Each item also came with a discount code to order more directly from the featured brands. And, any small business that supports other small businesses and artisans that focus on small-batch handmade items, especially natural & organic ones, scores high marks in my book! Plus the founder of Kloverbox was generous enough to offer each of you 25% off your order using code "MK25."

Next up is the Box of Happies! I seriously love the name of this one as it just makes you smile! Box of Happies graciously sent me this box to review. I think everyone who visits Mac Kid fits under the very busy parent, care-taker, and/or teacher model. We have several things in common. We are BUSY, stressed & almost always put kids first! I love that Box of Happies aims to bring a smile to your face with three to five unique, handmade products created by uber talented artists. This box came in a reusable clear case. My son has already asked if he can re-purpose it as a toy box for his most special treasures he wants to keep safe. 



The first thing I noticed was my box smelled amazing! I quickly glanced around the box & saw the bar of soap was where the wonderful minty smell was coming from. Ok, back to looking at everything...Box of Happies cost $24 per month, plus $4.99 for shipping. You can also sign up for a discounted three, six or twelve month subscription. You can also order past boxes if they have any still available for $23 plus $4.99 shipping. 



The August Box of Happies had a total value of over $30 & includes:
- Box of Happies Nautical Necklace & Bracelet set ($16)
- Perfectly Natural Soap Happy Feet Pumice Soap Bar ($4.50)
- SewFlo Button Cover Earrings ($5.98)
- Fisher Creek Candle ($4.50)

This was another great box as it introduced me to all new products I had never seen before. Most of the items come wrapped so you really feel like you are opening a fun present. Plus, this is another fabulous box for those looking to support artisans! And, I love how simple and classic the nautical-themed jewelry set and button cover earrings are. 



You can also find Box of Happies on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram & Pinterest.

If you want to make a purchase from Box of Happies, you can save $2 off your purchase of $20 or more with coupon code "HAPPIES."

Spoiler Alert!! If you ordered the POPSUGAR Must Have August box & haven't received yours yet, you may want to stop here. 

This is my favorite POPSUGAR Must Have box...ever! The Kendra Scott necklace is gorgeous & it was a super high value box and I will actually use everything in it! 

So, what is in the August Box? I used the special code to get a Turkish Towel included in my box which meant paying full price ($39.95 if you just sign up for an auto-renewing monthly subscription & don't prepay for several months at once).



- Kendra Scott Elisa necklace in Black Cat's Eye ($50)
- Paddywax Ocean Tide + Sea Salt Mini Jar Candle ($10)
- Goodbyn Purple Meal & Dipper Set ($8)
- The Mason Jar Cookie Company Celebrate mix ($12)
- Lollia At Last Perfumed Shower Gel ($22)
- Bite Beauty Lush Fruit Lip ($22)
- thinkThin Brownie Crunch High Protein Bar (guessing $1.25, this was just a little something extra)
- Turkish Towel ($32)

So, I paid $39.95 & received over $156 worth of amazing stuff I LOVE!!! Total score & I am even more excited I have signed up for the Limited Edition Fall Box in addition to my regular Sept. POPSUGAR Must Have box. If you want to sign up for the September box, you can use code "MustHaveYT" to save $10 off the September box...but hurry since the codes always expire really quickly. Once that code stops working "Refer5" will still save you $5. (Unfortunately, you cannot use discount codes on the Limited Edition boxes though).

Last but not least, I thought I should share more about Gwynnie Bee with you. It is a plus size (size 10-32) clothing rental company... yes, I know, quite a mouthful and even though I had seen their ads for months, I was always turned off by the idea of renting clothes. BUT, it is awesome! I have been introduced to some amazing brands and styles I never would have tried if it weren't for my Gwynnie Bee subscription. 



If you'd like to try Gwynnie Bee FREE for a month, you can do so using my special referral link (no code needed). I am still on my first month trial and have tried about 10 dresses so far. You can have three items out at a time on the free trial. If you love something, you can buy it at a discount. If you hate something, just stick it in the prepaid envelope and ship it right back. They will send you another awesome item from the items you selected in your "virtual" closest. Gwynnie Bee adds new items to their assortment literally every week or two so there is never a shortage of new clothes to try. I also adore not having to pay for dry cleaning since they cover that in addition to the shipping costs.



My new favs are these three dresses from Tart which I will be sporting this week & then mailing back to try three more outfits!
