October - Fanfare
I'm not sure if I personally equate October with obsessions and fanfare. I associated October with the beginning of fall and Halloween. I can sort of see how TV shows might fall into this fanfare theme, but this month's theme has a disconnect with me. Sorry, BB. A little over the top for me!

July - Power up
As part of a tie-in with Women's Health, this box came with some small challenges (which I've yet to accomplish) for the month like "improve your sleep" or "part your hair differently." I don't know how that fits with July (I think of July as being summer and BBQ and fun), but let's go with it.

May
This month's theme was about Saturdays and being carefree. It fits with the end of spring: fresh air, good weather, and lots of things to do as we approach summer. What do you do on your Saturdays?

Well... I thought I was caught up, but apparently not... Ok. Here goes!

November's theme was about bringing more good into your life. It could be brands that give back or donating to No Kid Hungry. It tied into November and Thanksgiving.

I'm doing a double post. I'm so behind... I'll post November & December as a double feature too once I get my box. I'm also going to forgo the sample size prices too.

I'm going to attempt to post as many reviews of my boxes today as I can.

Let's start with Birchbox. They had a finishing school theme. Even had a tie in with Anne Taylor. Basically a how to look your best theme especially now that we're heading into fall.

July's theme is about having power. It's incorporated with the season premiere of Suits on USA. I don't really know much about the TV show, but I'm assuming that the characters are all strong and powerful. Hence, the tie-in.

My May box arrived at the end of May. I didn't have enough time to post about it since I had to go out of town a few days after I received it.

May's box was about beauty routines. What are your personal routines? What techniques have you learned or mastered? There was even a beauty routine mad-lib to fill out on the back of the products card.

April's box was a collaborative effort with Women's Health magazine to put together a selection of their recommended items. Since it is spring, the theme was Tiny Tweaks, Big Results. What little tweak will you add to your life to improve yourself?
