It's In The Box: Our 7 Favorite Green And Healthy Monthly Subscription Boxes

Subscription boxes are awesome. A relatively new development on the shopping scene, the idea behind them is that you get a curated box of goodies shipped to you every month. Companies like NatureBox, KlutchClub and our partner, Birchbox, bring their subscribers customized selections of beauty products, eco-friendly goods and even healthy snacks.  Although I’m well into my 20s, I still get a little thrill when I get a package in the mail, so these boxes full of fun stuff are just my style.

Blow Your Coworkers Away With A Recharged Spring Look

Blow Your Coworkers Away With A Recharged Spring Look

In the winter it is easier to get away with looking tired. The weather can be miserable, you haven’t seen the sun in weeks and it’s easy to bury yourself in layers of comfy sweaters. But now it is spring! The sun is actually shining (remember the sun?) and if you keep wearing that giant, puffy coat you are going to pass out from heat exhaustion. As fashionable as it is to be a vampire right now, your face could use a refresher.

This is why you should sign up for monthly beauty sample deliveries from Birchbox. Getting a package in the mail is pretty much one of the only exciting things that can happen to normal working people on a weekday. But it is especially nice if you get a surprise box of treats that will help you embrace spring More »

Beating The Winter Blahs: Beauty Products For Busy Moms

Beating The Winter Blahs: Beauty Products For Busy Moms

Yesterday was the coldest winter day so far and it sucked. Everyone was walking around all angry and miserable and everywhere I went, people were bitching about the weather. The worst part is that my kids, who are still on winter break, were cooped up inside and they were starting to get a little stir-crazy. So I did what any sane mom would do and booked myself a facial.

Mother of the year, I know. But, hey, my boys had fun with their dad while I attempted to beat the winter blahs. And, let me tell you, it worked like magic. Ninety minutes of pampering and I’m a whole new person (one with beautifully hydrated skin!). The whole thing has kick-started my New Year’s resolution, which is totally typical but I’ll share it anyway, and that is to treat myself a bit more. More »

Birchbox: The Club Every Career Woman Needs To Join

Birchbox: The Club Every Career Woman Needs To Join

What busy career woman doesn’t need a little pampering on the side? And why not indulge in a little pampering that helps your appearance? In a new series for The Financial Times called “Women In Finance,” Snjezana Maclean, an image consultant, said image is integral to a person’s “brand.” And according to a Newsweek survey, 59% of hiring managers advised investing as much time and money on your appearance as you would crafting your résumé. But then again, you don’t want to spend every free moment you have casing crowded make-up counters for the best products without breaking the bank.

That is where Birchbox comes into play. More »

Mother’s Little Helper: Beauty Products Delivered To Your Front Door

Motherâs Little Helper: Beauty Products Delivered To Your Front Door

Remember those Sunday mornings where you’d sleep in, go to spin class, then head out for brunch and shopping with the girls? Now it’s all about pancake breakfasts and playdates. Which is actually very sweet and rewarding but, well, sometimes when the kids are having simultaneous meltdowns and my kitchen looks like it’s been hit by a bomb, I long for some of that pre-kid self-indulgence.

That explains why I’m loving Birchbox, a company that delivers high-end beauty products straight to your door (Merry Christmas, mamas!). More »
