Sugarbox turns 2!! This little subscription box has been an absolute favorite of mine this year and I was obviously superbly excited to receive it. This month, the box is choc-full of absolutely delightful goodies and without wasting more of your time, lets just dive into it!



1. Grey Tasseled and Frills Scarf

This scarf is made from the softest wool. I haven't yet figured out what kind but its got a whole lace, tassel, ruffle thing going on which is  totally on trend. A great piece to add to your wardrobe!

2. Meow Cat Ears Beanie


3 & 4. Kallos Face Pack and VIP Chocolate:

7. Bracelet:

Sugarbox has been one of my all time favourite subscription boxes, and while I've almost stopped subscribing to all other boxes, this one still stays top of my list. This month, the theme was Travel lust and I couldn't have been more excited. Travel has been a newfound passion of mine and I always seem to be googling new travel destinations in my free time. This theme obviously had me dreaming of a few gorgeous goodies and let's see if these dreams were fulfilled shall we?








Here are the goodies I got in my November Sugarbox!


This eyemask is such a lovely piece and while I would personally relate it to a more stay home theme, its a cute little addition for all those Christmas pajama parties everyone's bound to have. If not, its soft enough to guarantee a comfy night's sleep!

2. Makeup Pouch

A rather roomy makeup pouch that an hold all your brushes and pots of magic separately, this piece is quite useful when you've gotta travel with your makeup. A definite plus in any girl's travel trunk, this bright pink pouch has enough space for your glitter and glam kit!

3. Tinted Lip Balm



Let's face it. This isn't exactly the best fit with a travel box. While the sweatshirt gives you the idea of cosy evenings in, the pop stickers on it of shells make you think of bright sunny days on the beach. Mixed signals anyone? The material is decent (which isn't always the case with Sugarbox clothing) so again, its a nice piece to add to your cosy evening home wardrobe.

I have the fondest memories of mom rationing out these to me when I was a kid. Yet again, not something that screams travel lust, but still quite a couple of points to the team for bringing back sweet memories from yester-years.


These just beg to be worn with a flowy dress to a party on a yacht. Blue, beautiful and although mine weren't packed with care so a little bent, these are still quite pretty and can be worn to any beach party you may be planning this December.


Finally, something that fits perfectly with the box's theme. This cover just begs to be used on your next trip. This was hands down, my favourite item from this month's Sugarbox.

So what's the final verdict? Well, honestly, this month's box was a miss for me. I don't think the items in the box really worked with the theme and that's the reason why someone orders the box in the first place. If you're planning to get it cos Travel Lust is your thing, don't! I've had much well rounded boxes before and this isn't one of them.

The monsoons are here! And right in time with them the Sugarbox #TheMonsoonCrushEdition is here too. Can I just say, this is by far one of my favorite boxes since I started to subscribe to Sugarbox. I honestly like everything in there this time, which is a first for me. So without further delay, lets dive right in!


1. Bar Cake

Sweet things first! I love that the sugarbox has a little sweet treat in every box. I love the idea of a chocolate bar that's also a cake. This was definitely a rather nice thing in the box and has already been devoured with glee.

2. Patterned Box

Girls love pretty pink things. And when the box tell you "Hey Beautiful", its a definite plus. This little box has a cute lid with a butterfly on it. While I quite like the lid, I would much rather use this box as a pen storage since I quite like the idea of being able to see the bottom that makes me smile!

3. Kallos Fruit Facial Kit
Facials...hmmm. I know a number of girls who do this at home and I'm the anti-girl when it comes to anything that requires me to follow several steps. Yes, I've never in my life got a facial, ever. However, now that there's fruit involved, the promise of coming away from it smelling like strawberries and peaches maybe will swing me towards my ever home facial. I shall review it if I do try it out!

4. Floral Earrings

Now these earring already made an appearance on almost all my social media. I think they're totally quirky and rather unique. I still haven't worn them but I think I may just wear them to office this week to add a bit of interest to any ol' boring office outfit.

5. Happy Girls are the Prettiest Pouch

How true is this quote? While I didn't really like the quality of this pouch I absolutely loved the quote. I can't agree enough and think that every person could do with a little happiness in their life. Be kind people, it don't cost a thing!

6. Boho Jacket

Okay. So I think the gods of Boho do not wish me to stop wearing quirky things. I have been trying to find an interesting boho jacket and thanks to them brilliant gods, I've got one in this month's Sugarbox. Floral, check. Fringe, check. Mad love, double check! I'm pretty sure you'll see this in a post this month very very soon!

7. Quirky Printed Umbrella
And finally, pretty much the most loved and useful item from the June Sugarbox. This absolutely gorgeous umbrella. The print, the bright colors and the ultra indianess. I don't think there's anything about it that you can hate. A definite must for those gloomy rainy days that we will most certainly have this month.


And that's the crazy list folks. Honestly, that's a lot of goodies packed into this month's Sugarbox. I think I have loved every single thing here and unlike a few previous months, everything can be used immediately. Awesome job team Sugarbox. You've certainly nailed it this month! Loved the June, 2016 Sugarbox.

Sugarbox! Oh man, just the name oozes cuteness. This month (well, last month to be accurate) Sugarbox had a Boho Chic Theme which meant of course I had to buy it. For those of you who don't know, Sugarbox is a themed lifestyle subscription box that comes packed with something for everyone. It's got a bit of everything from clothing to bags to accessories to skincare to sometimes cute edibles too!

The Boho Chic edition had some stuff that I'd expected and some rather nifty stuff too. I always love the gorgeous box everything comes in since it has the cutest bow and tag on it. Honestly, this gets me more excited at times that the actual unboxing itself. So what does the Boho Chic Edition contain? Let's find out!


1. Honey:
A definitely quirky item to have in a Boho Box, I think the idea was that the free-spirited add Honey to their tea not sugar maybe? I don't know, and it doesn't really matter. This little one-time use sachet is such a nice sweet touch I think I'll probably have to get some of these travel-friendly sachets to stash in the office drawer!


2. Silver Boho Neckpiece:
Something that I think is very on trend this summer, a layered necklace can be used multiple ways. I didn't really like this neckpiece if we're being completely honest. I wished it was more intricate buy that's probably just me. I do think I'd much rather wear it as a headpiece than an necklace but that's also me just being me aswell. Also big props to the way it was packaged. I loved how a simple brown envelope doubled as a cover as well as interesting packaging.


3. Boho Feather Earrings:
If my past looks are anything to go by, feather earrings are a favorite of mine when it comes to beach dressing. I can completely imagine wearing these with my beach shorts and a casual tee on a weekend beach outing. I like the length and the fact that there are little strands without feathers too to give it a bit more volume.


4. Tassled Bag:
I don't think anything spells boho more than a tasseled bag. Tassles and fringe are big this summer and this bag is a nice addition to my every growing bag collection. It can be used as a crossbody bag and has two zip pockets and also a little pocket to keep your phone. (Although in all honesty if you use a bulky phone, you won't really be able to fit it into the pocket provided).


5. 'Good Vibes Only' Water Bottle:
So this was rather unexpected but considering we're standing in the middle of summer where staying hydrated is very important, this was such a welcome addition to the box. The "Good Vibes Only" quote on the bottle is sure to remind you to be a little kinder when you're feeling particularly grumpy at work.

6. Coffee Scrub:
Coffee is an addiction for more than half the world's population. Now if you can find yet another way to bring coffee into your life, why not right? This coffee scrub is a product I've never tried before and I think even if it doesn't make me look prettier, at least it'll make me smell like one of my favorite things in the world!


7. 'Normal is Boring' Muscle Tee:
Yes, I saved the best for last. This tee is such a beauty. It's made from super soft jersey material and I think just looking at it makes me want to pick up my backpack and go on a little solo trip! This was expected yet such a wonderful thing in this month's SugarBox that it instantly made me smile!



And that's it folks! Those are the things I got in my Boho Chic Edition of sugarbox. I personally like around half the things and the other half, while nice aren't really that relevant on a personal level. I think this is a nicely curated box that can be a great present to anyone who has the wanderlust in them!
