Before marrying my husband, I was huge on retail therapy. My favorite hobby was to take a trip to Sephora and splurge on beauty products I really didn't need. Facial masks, new lipsticks, night serums, I'd grab it all rarely checking the price. I loved the idea of treating myself, so to me, it was all worth it. But now that I'm married, my priorities have sort of changed. My husband and I want to buy a house within the next two years, so my sometimes reckless spending has now turned into a thought-out savings plan and treating myself is no longer really a thing –ugh, adulting. If I do splurge, it's probably something for my husband that I know he'll love.
I'm now the opposite of my girlfriends. They're always in the know, treating themselves every chance they get. Just the other day, they were chatting about how much they loved the Fenty highlighters. A few months ago, while on our monthly brunch date, my friend, Sam, was telling us about her latest read, Mindy Kaling's Why Not Me? One of the other girls also said she had just started it after receiving the book in her SinglesSwag box. I was lost and hella jealous, like did they start a book club without me. After asking them to explain, the girls told me about SinglesSwag and how much they loved receiving monthly shipments of a bunch of items they could treat themselves with. That month they were raving about the Daisy Toner and how Instagrammable the unicorn cookie was. I was stoked when they told me I didn't have to be single to sign up.
My husband treats me once in a while, but with SinglesSwag I now treat myself all the time. SinglesSwag is a cool subscription service that sends you a box of full-sized goodies every month. The boxes can hold books, delicious treats, cosmetics, bath and beauty products, a fashionable item or jewelry. All the items are chosen to inspire, empower and make you feel like a boss babe. You can choose between a larger box that holds 6-7 items or go for the petite option that holds 3-4 products. The large box goes for $39.99, but the mix of items probably retails for more than $200, while the smaller one goes for $24.99, but you're getting more than $100 in products. There's also no commitment so sign up. But if you sign up for more than just one month, the boxes do become a little cheaper.
I've been signed up for two months now and I'm loving it. I'm actually still using my favorite two items from my first box, a Tarocco hand cream made to smell like Sicilian blood oranges and a lucky elephant necklace by Melinda Maria. The necklace has become my go-to jewelry item. I think I've paired it with more than half of my fall fits. My favorite feature about the box is probably that it'll occasionally contain a book. I don't really go out of my way to head to Barnes and Noble, so I love the option of having a new uplifting read sent right to my door. I sometimes forget I have a box coming, until I see it at my front door. Remember how you felt getting a new toy as a kid? That's how I feel getting my goodies. With SinglesSwag, I've gotten back to treating myself the way I did before I was married. My next step is to convince my husband to pay for some of these, LOL. Being married doesn't mean you have to stop loving yourself.
