How FabFitFun Gave Me My “Me-Time” Back

Every Mom Needs This One Subscription Box

When my son turned one last year, I was determined to throw a memorable party -- not for him (I mean, he's not going to remember it), but to celebrate all the hard work my husband and I have put in over the last year.

The sleepless nights, the crying (him and us) - it all really tested us, but now our healthy, happy one-year-old is the joy of my life. We threw him a dinosaur-themed party, and I baked a cake in the shape of a T-rex - it nearly lived up to the Pinterest version!

My best friend knew how hard I'd worked on the decorations, so she showed up to the party with a dino sweater for him and a gift for me - a FabFitFunbox. I expected that once I had kids, I'd never get a gift again.

She told me that her coworker had gifted one to her right after she had her daughter, and it was the only thing that kept her sane.

Over a paper cup of lime green Raptor Punch, she told me about the joy and the crushing exhaustion she experienced, too - she said the first time she felt like herself again after having her daughter was one night where her husband suggested she take time for herself.

She confessed to me she hadn't showered in 3 days, from stress, so when she finally had an hour, she decided to make the most out of it.

She lit a candle: the D.L. & Co. Blackberry Nectar Gold Candle she received. She inhaled deeply, then nearly fell asleep in the tub. After shaving, she said she slathered herself in a beach butter body cream (Anderson Lilley's in Sicilian Tangerine).

Surrounded by luxury gifts, she said she felt like she could finally indulge for once.

I couldn't remember the last time I had truly indulged. I'd shrugged off the self-care movement as frivolous, but a luxurious bath probably was good for my mental health.

When the party was over, and Marshall was sleeping soundly (and the baby, too), I opened up my gift - I was surprised to see so many products! The sheer volume was incredible; I felt like a kid during the holidays. The first few items wowed me: a yoga mat from Anthropologie, a pack of shimmering gold eye masks (I'll definitely be using those!), and a beautiful wooden cheese board. There was also a bottle of body butter lotion, cute exfoliating sugar cubes for the shower, and much more!

I couldn't believe how much they gave me - I was still worried that my friend had spent a fortune on me, but I looked it up and the box was only $49.99 - but with over a $200 value. I got the Fall box, and found out they deliver at the start of every season.

Since I used every single item in the box, I looked into signing up for a membership, so I could get the Winter box - I really needed some surprise TLC on my doorstep.

My mother-in-law gifted me a massage for my birthday, but I still hadn't redeemed it. I was dreading the hassle of finding a substantial block of time for the massage - that would also mean more time away from my husband and son. Getting a new box of goodies just for me delivered right to my door means I can pamper myself even in the middle of a Peppa Pig marathon.

When I signed up, I saw that you have the freedom to customize some options in the box based on your likes and dislikes, but for me, letting the FabFitFun editors work their magic and make the decisions is the biggest treat. Everything about this box has brought me joy, and it has made me realize the value of regularly treating myself.

Not only have I discovered so many new and useful products, but FabFitFun has also reminded me that to spoil my son with love, I need to take time to spoil myself, too.

I learned how to indulge myself again, and that it's not a bad thing.

Since many of the items I received were worth more individually than the price of the entire box, I can't imagine a better and more affordable way to shop for myself. So if you're reading, thanks, FabFitFun!

UPDATE: FabFitFun is giving our readers $10 OFF their first box! That's $200+ of products for $39.99.New Members, Follow This Link To Snag A Box Before It's Sold Out!

How Our Favorite Influencers Get “The Look” With FabFitFun

How is it that celebrities and influencers just happen to look camera-ready at all times? I always find myself mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, admiring these perfect looking women in their perfectly edited photos. When I decide to take a selfie, a lot of pre-planning goes into it - my makeup, my outfit, the lighting, the angle. Plus, I probably take like 100+ pictures to finally find the best one to post (yes, my camera roll is very embarrassing). I always wondered what I was missing from my life just to have that camera ready glow at all times.

By following these popular "Instagram models," I've learned that to keep themselves glowing, they've always got the latest and absolute best beauty and wellness products in their arsenal. Fans in the real world want to be just as in-the-know, but good taste doesn't necessarily come cheap, and luckily for us, these bloggers LOVE to let us in on their secret weapons. One of the most common ways they find the latest trends? FabFitFun. The subscription box everyone is talking about is filled with beauty, fitness, wellness, and home products sent to your doorstep every season. Each box contains 8-10 full-size products lauded by celebrities, influencers, and curated by beauty experts—so you know you're getting the most coveted products from around the world. Every FabFitFun box has well over $200 worth of must have goodies for only $49.99.

Some of my favorite FabFitFun products have been favorites for my favorite influencers (did I say favorite enough times?). I've highlighted the top 5 below, and instead of taking my word for it, check out what these babes had to say.

Jade Roller

Jade rollers are a super hot beauty item for their anti-inflammatory and luxurious, spa-like effects on puffy eyes. That's why The Bachelor star Ashley Iaconetti was so excited to get hers in a recent FabFitFun box. "Remember when I used to ice my face on Paradise?" she said. "Since then I've switched to using a jade roller, one of my favorite beauty tools, every morning to reduce puffiness." These jade rollers can cost upwards of $60-$100 by themselves, but they're just one of many potential surprises in a FabFitFun box.

ISH Cosmetics Lip Palette

Another Bachelor star, Lauren Bushnell, can't help but gush over her ISH Lip Palette, along with the rest of her FabFitFun box. "My favorite box to date contains some of my personal favorite brands like Free People and Rachel Pally." If you were to purchase the ISH palette by itself, it'd cost you $42, almost the cost of the entire FFF box.

The GLAMGLOW Mask

Lifestyle influencer and money guru Michelle Money called out this GLAMGLOW Bubblesheet mask as one of her favorite products in her box. "This is the perfect time to revamp your skincare routine in preparation for cooler weather, and all the full-size products in this season's FabFitFun box will make it so easy for you!". The Bubblesheet is a deep cleansing charcoal mask that shrinks and detoxifies pores and evens out skin tone. No wonder Money is such a huge fan!

Brooke Burke Full Body Sliders

Samantha Busch is a busy boss babe and wife of Nascar driver Kyle Busch. Busch herself has a passion for beauty, fashion, and fitness, so when she calls out a product for vamping up her life, you know it's the real deal. In her Winter Box, Busch loved the Brooke Burke Sliders. The sliders are two round discs used for toning, yoga, and other workout moves that make it easy to move around and provide more range of motion. "I customized my box (YES, you have that option!!), and I received the Brooke Burke Full Body Sliders that I am completely obsessed with, not to mention some of these products cost more than you pay for the box," Busch said.

BITE Lipstick

Raw food blogger Rawvana was excited to show off BITE Beauty's cruelty-free lipstick, especially because she's always on the hunt for natural, safe products. "This is a seasonal box that arrives at your door with amazing beauty, fitness, lifestyle, and fashion goodies. I loved all the cruelty-free beauty products like the @BiteBeauty lipstick." You could wind up paying $30 or more for just one of these beautiful lipsticks, but FabFitFun lets you rock the clean look as just one small part of many goodies.

How great are these products?! I had to stop myself at just 5; otherwise, the list could go on and on - other faves from previous boxes included a Vince Camuto tote, a BB Dakota poncho, and an Alfred French press. Incorporating all the products from FabFitFun into my daily life has definitely given me that camera-ready glow I've been searching for. From everyday beauties like us to ultra-popular IG influencers, there's one thing we can all agree on: FabFitFun is definitely worth it.

Update: FabFitFun is offering 40% OFF Winter Editor's Box! That's up to $429+ worth of products for just $29.99. New Members, Follow This Link To Snag A Box Before It's Sold Out!
