KlutchClub - May Men's Box Review

So.... Idk what it is about Klutchclub, and the fact that they charge you for a month and call a box that month's box, but you don't actually receive it until the NEXT month. This is the "May'" box, that I paid for in May, and received June 7.... Whatevs. They are awesome enough that they can get away with it! Haha!

KlutchClub offers subscription boxes for Men, Women and Moms. The boxes cost $18/month (or less with longer commitment) and contain "$50 of the best healthy snacks, supplements, fitness programs, personal-care products and more." I subscribed to the Men's box because this sounded right up Hub's alley!

Here's first looks:









I love a first look that shows a box FULL of goodies!! Let's get to a breakdown!




Kind bar ($2) - I'd like for the girls to try it. Will have to get to it before the hubs does (I'm probably not that quick! Haha!)!

Aubrey aftershave ($2) - Meh. Won't get used in my house, would gift it but the seal was kind of screwed up where it had just started to leak, so will prob give it to my dad. 

$20 gift card to theClymb.com - Let's talk about this gift card for a minute. This is a website that runs sample/flash sales related to health and fitness. I had never heard of it before and felt my pulse quickening when I saw that they also offer discounted adventure trips!! I saw one for Costa Rica, which is the front runner right now for spring break 2014, and I was hoping to see one for Antarctica, which I am kind of obsessed with right now because it's the only continent we haven't been to! $20 wasn't going to help much with a trip, though! Lol!

You have to spend $75 on theClymb.com to get free shipping, otherwise shipping is $7.95. Okay... but the bonus was that my card actually put $25 in my account, so it kind of brought shipping down to $2.95. I ordered a discounted pack of Muscle Milk protein bars that retail for $42 (what?!). They are still $29 even on GNC.com with member pricing and all I had to pay was the $7.95 shipping fee! So, with just this card I  saved $21 on something I would have bought anyway, and that more than paid for the box! Nice!





CocoaVia supplement (ten pack/$10), chocolate daily to help circulation? I'll give it a shot!

Pop Potato Chips ($1) - sure, anything edible disappears around here.





Drink Chia! ($5) - I had seen pictures of this online and was still surprised at HOW MANY SEEDS are in it. Is it going to be super weird to drink?? It's in the fridge chillin right now! We shall see! And it's pretty expensive for an 8 oz bottle! I'm expecting a SUPER charge from this! LOL!





Agro Labs Coconut water ($3) - they actually sell this in 72 (?!) packs of these 3 oz bottles on Amazon for $155.88. Really?? That seems a WEE extreme to me. I get a lot of cheapy hydration from my 10 glasses of water a day! ;)

Happy squeeze coconut milk ($2) - it's like a juice pouch for grownups! And contains 2/3 a serving of fruit! Fun! :)

Mr. Pink drink ($2) - well, I do a daily cup of coffee but not much other caffiene on an average day. The hubs drank it, to me it tasted a little Red Bull-y. And I'm a little worried that a google search turned up pictures of Lindsay Lohan chugging it and I guess she asked for $500k to promote it! Wut? Lolz!!




The Perez Hilton take on the situation! Haha!

Counting the gift card as $21 value, I came up with a box worth $48, definitely more than I paid but just shy of the $50 claimed to be in there. I'm super happy with this box though and I KNOW the hubs will love it all! It was almost worth $18 for the chuckles I got when all these Lindsey Lohan pictures started popping up! Hahaha!

If you'd like to try KlutchClub, please use my referral link. Thank you! And, through 6/26, use ZZJUNE25 to save 25% off any 3 month subscription or ZZJUNE30 to save 30% off any 12 month subscription (shipping and box charge separate, only takes discount off the box itself!)!

PopSugar Must Have Summer Fun Box Review

WhooooHooooo!!!! I am in LOVE with this BOX!!!!!

Whew. Okay. Time to calm it.... but seriously, this box is awesome!! PopSugar special Summer edition (now sold out), price $100. This came a couple of days ago and I have had SO much fun with it already!!

Here's the first looks:





And unwrapped!



The first thing I noticed was the sunglasses! I had been peeking all week (obviously, can't help it) and knew that there was going to be a pair from House of Harlow but I couldn't wait to see which ones I got! There are definitely some that I like better than others and I was THRILLED to see I got the Lynn style. This style comes in three colors, mine are Fog. These are totally not the color I would have picked and the metal accent bar across the top is a little weird, but I'm really excited to have something a smidge out of my comfort zone! Retail on these is $148, so with these my box has already more than paid for itself! Yay!







First wear, post-workout in the carpool line at school. Yep. I was the mom sitting in my car doing duckface and taking selfies today... Hahaha!




I was also super pumped to see that I got the Henri Bendel candle in Wild Roseberry ($30). I love anything pink and this smells awesome!



The S'Well bottle ($35) is super cute and makes big claims - keeps cold drinks cold for 24 hours, hot drinks hot for 12. We shall see, we shall see. I received one in turquoise, which is the gym color for my little cheerleading all-star, and we will put this cold drink claim to the test in the upcoming Kentucky summer! Good luck, S'well Bottle! And I'll be filling it for me at times with the Starbucks Via Refreshers that were included ($7.28). Bonus!






Some of the reviews I've read are mixed on the Truffle Classic Clarity Pouch ($38), but I will use it tons!! It's such a big, handy size and it will be perfect for keeping phones/keys/etc. dry at the the beach and the pool! I love it!




And the last item, a gorgeous sarong from Sachin + Babi. There are no sarongs on their website, but the cheapest skirt I see is close to $200, so I think the valuations of this that others have given of $50 are definitely on the low side! It's so silky and soft (100% polyester) and was big enough to fit me in all of the ways demonstrated on the card but might be a tough go to get tied around the neck for some!


One final goofy shot of me trying my hardest to use it all at once! LOL!


I realized when I sat down to write this that my box was missing an item, a sugar scrub from Vitabath... Boo. I emailed PopSugar and I'll update with their response when I get one. Even without it my box had a value of $308.28 and is all stuff that I love and will use!

I am very excited to see what comes in the Men's Limited Edition Box next month and the regular PopSugar box for May that will be here next week! If you'd like to try PopSugar, here's my Referral Link and you can use the code REFER5 for $5 off your first box! If you want to really go for it, I think these two codes still work for new subscriptions: GET10 for $10 off three month sub, GET25 for $25 off 6 month sub (brings it down to only $27.50/month! Wish I had used this one!!). So fun!!

** UPDATE ** It took a couple of days but I got a reply about the missing Vitabath scrub. PopSugar said they are out of stock on it but expecting more and will ship me one ASAP! Will update again when it's received! :)

** UPDATE ON THE UPDATE ** When I got back in town today, 5/19, the Vitabath scrub was with all of my accumulated mail that was waiting on me and included a super nice card! Thanks PopSugar! LOVE great customer service!!
