Running my life as a busy wife, boy mom, and business owner

Telling YOUR story: Taking a GIANT leap with a new career at KEEP Collective!

Wednesday, July 29, 2015

I'm literally bursting with excitement writing this blog. And also, I can't believe I'm writing this blog. I never, ever thought I would want to sell anything. But then I was introduced to KEEP Collective, and I've totally fallen in love. 

I've fallen so much in love with KEEP Collective that I've decided to become a designer and sell the product! 

And I think you're going to love it just as much as I do! 

So, a little background here. I love story telling. And I have always loved the idea that everybody has a story. This was one of my staple assignments teaching journalism and newspaper, and my students would find incredible people to write incredible stories about. We all have our own unique stories, and those stories deserve to be celebrated
Love Moon & Back Leather Silver Bracelet – This That Gifts - boutique style at close out prices! Keep collective #keepstyle
Enter KEEP Collective, the brand new baby of Stella & Dot. KEEP is unique, though, because it focuses on Keepers (bracelets and necklaces) and Keys (TONS of one-of-a-kind charms to place on the Keepers). You choose the Keeper and Keys that speak to you, that you love, and that tell your story. And then you get to show it off! It's a beautiful way to tell your story and display what you love, and I couldn't love that any more if I tried! 

I attended my friend Corrie's Facebook Social this past winter, and I had my own party in February (right as another piece of my story arrived in our world!). And I've literally been thinking about joining this company ever since, but I never took the plunge... until now! 
Besides the gorgeous products, I love this company for so many reasons. Stella & Dot has been around for YEARS and has a super successful history. Keepers and Keys are all ionic plated which makes them super durable and high quality! Additionally, KEEP gives its designers great incentives and will be flexible around my Henry schedule. There's nothing more important to me right now than being a mom, and this will give me the flexibility to be a mom that can be home AND working! The company really focuses on empowering women, and I LOVE that mission! They love giving back, and have partnered with Kind Campaign to promote anti-bullying in schools, which I adore (check out the Kind bar above!). And did I mention the customer service is excellent? It's excellent. The company loves to make its customers happy! 
I'm in love with the KEEP pendants! You can choose from silver, gold, or rose gold, then choose an 18" or 30" chain, and choose which "keys" you want to create your one-of-a-kind piece! <3 http://keep-collective.com/with/courtneynichols
I'm so excited to share this jewelry because KEEP is so new that not many people have seen it yet! It's too much fun that I get to do this now! 

So, what do you do if you're interested in seeing more? Well, friends, you have options! 

Come to my online Launch Party! 
I'm hosting a bash on Facebook  to introduce you to the line! If you've never been to a Facebook social, you're going to love it! Join the event via Facebook, and then tune in on Wednesday, August 12 at 8 p.m.! I'll show you all the Keepers and Keys and design pieces to fit your story (oh, and, there will be giveaways too, of course!)! Want to know more? Want to see if there's anything you like? Come join me on Facebook and get to know KEEP! 

Come give me your opinion! 
Are you a local? I would LOVE to get your opinion the night before the launch party! Come visit me on Tuesday, August 11 from 6-8 p.m.! I'll have some nibbles and drinks and you can look over the jewelry and tell me what your favorite pieces are! 

Host a social
Let's say you're super interested already and want to score free swag for yourself (oh, hi, the hostess rewards are AWESOME). The best way to do so is to host a social, and this can be done two ways. You can host a traditional social in your home (you provide the place and the nibbles and I'll bring the jewelry so we can design!). OR, you can host a Facebook social, which is SO easy to do! We pick the time together, I set up the event, and you invite your friends and family. From there, we play some games and design your stories together! 

Order off my webpage
Not feeling having a social but still want to order a special piece for you or someone you care about? Check out my brand new website, and place an order there! 

Join me
Do you like what you're hearing? Have you been looking for something just like this to become a part of? If you take the leap, you won't regret it! Join me, and let's go on this amazing adventure together! Feel free to email me at AngelaPuttDesigner@gmail.com if you'd like to chat more about this opportunity! 

Sale-abrating Flourish: Enter to win a $50 gift card giveaway!

Thursday, July 23, 2015

There are certain perks that come along with blogging. Like, I get to make my own schedule. And, I get to write about whatever I want. 

Oh, and I get invited to REALLY cool VIP pre-sales at my favorite store, Flourish Boutique. Their semi-annual Overstock Sale starts tomorrow at 10 a.m., and I got to have a sneak peek tonight! 

Let's start with the details. When doors open tomorrow, you'll see TONS of items from 50-90% off retail. And if that's not enough, almost everything else in the store (with the exception of Free People) is 25% off. 

Want to score even more? If you're in line at 10 a.m., you automatically get a $10 gift card (and one lucky lady will score a $100 one!). 

AND, there will be FREE items hidden throughout the store each day! 

AND if you spend over $50, you get a free infinity scarf. 

AND, even if you're not a local, there's an online Overstock sale starting on July 29! 

Okay, I'm done telling you about all of the awesome advertised deals. Onto the goods! 

When you stop in, you're going to see a HUGE variety of $1, $2, and $3 items. You can score adorable earrings and wall hangings at this price point, and these would make EXCELLENT gifts or stocking stuffers in just a few short months! Have a bachelorette party or bridal shower coming up? The earrings would be adorable take home gifts, and they're a steal at that price! 
There's also a whole rack of "slightly damaged" goods, like this amazing Aztec shirt below. The tag said there was a slight pull in the fabric, but I'm telling you, I thoroughly looked it over and I couldn't find one imperfection. It's a steal at only $9, and you can bet your bottom dollar if this had been in my size, it would have come home with me! (Seriously, if you wear a large, go get this! My picture does it no justice!)
There are also totally gorgeous displays in the Overstock section. I LOVE this pleated maxi in sherbert-y colors (it's only $28!)! There are some great summery dresses, along with a whole black, white, and pink display too! 
One of my favorite finds are a few pairs of green jeans with a large ND on the right back pocket. For super fans, of course, these guys are listed at $60 (which is half off retail price!). Perfect for those fall tailgates! I also really loved this Different is Beautiful jewelry box in the Overstock section, because, different IS beautiful! 
The 25% off sale has some awesome items too, and I had to share just a few favorites with you! This gorgeous white lace number would be PERFECT for a bride-to-be! (I don't even see it online yet, so it might be a new arrival!)
And I LOVE the look of the Stripe City Top paired with a great olive green vest! 
The accessory collection is on point for summer, and these adorable love earrings are only $6 with the current sale! I also loved these French Cross earrings! If I didn't have a little earring grabber right now, these would have come home with me for sure! 
Flourish's owner, Vanessa, was SO kind to throw in a gift card for me so I could pick up a few things on them! So what did I try on? 

First, what I didn't get. I loved this pink top with lace sleeves, but I'm not a big fan of the hemline that highlights my hips like this. The top had a keyhole back which I love too! And this dress... oh, how I loved it! This medium was just too large on me, but it's beautifully tailored (and a STEAL at $36!)! 
And here's what I DID get! I went in knowing I wanted a dress for my cousin Emily's bridal shower. And it would be a major bonus if it was strapless and therefore nursing friendly. The This Way to Summer Maxi Dress absolutely fits the bill! I love the summery colors and it was only $18! Sold! 
And since I'm basically a sucker for anything chevron. The Say it Sweetly Maxi Dress is also included in the Overstock sale... for $12!!! This was an immediate yes! 
Next up for me was the Sunset Admirer Cardigan in Mint. This brought me back to every sweater I wore in Henry's newborn days, and it makes me oh-so-happy! Although this cardi isn't included in the Overstock sale, it IS 25% off the normal price of $39, so it came home with me too! 
And lastly, I've been wanting to try something new lately, and since my Stitch Fix where I realized I was NOT a romper girl, a kimono was next on my list to try! This is definitely more my speed. The Creative Soul Kimono is maybe my new favorite piece! I love the open front and the detailed lace sleeves. The pattern is just gorgeous! This was also 25% off $39! 
But now comes the VERY BEST PART of this whole blog! Vanessa threw in a gift card for one lucky blog reader, and it's a biggie... a $50 gift card! That can buy you a whole lotta sale items, baby! One lucky reader will take home the gift card in just five short days, which is just in time to hit the online Overstock sale or buy items in store! So if you need back to school clothes, an event outfit, or just want something new for you, now is the time! 

Enter below! And best of luck to you!

The lazy girl's guide to gift giving

Tuesday, July 21, 2015

So, did you catch any of the Amazon Prime sales last week? I think the general consensus was that they were way overhyped, but I know there were still a few good buys! We didn't pick anything up, but the sale got me thinking about Christmas shopping. Christmas? Did I say Christmas? In JULY? I did. I said Christmas. 

I looooove gift giving. Love. It! But lately I haven't had a ton of time to go shopping with my favorite little buddy in tow. It makes it a little more difficult to pick out a heartfelt gift when you know there's a feeding coming up or a nap looming (or, just a narrow aisle way to navigate with a giant stroller!). It makes me feel uber-lazy, but I still want to give gifts that are meaningful and personal. 

Enter the lazy girl's guide to gift giving! 

I've compiled just a few of my favorite gifts that I want to share with you today... just in case you're in a lazy girl position too. :) 

Sparkle Box
This is easily my favorite gift to give right now! Sparkle Box is the fabulous brain child of my bestie Shannon. For just $25, you can send a fabulous box of jewelry to a friend! You select a style (anything ranging from On Trend to Boho to Subtle Style) and can send off a whole box of lovely to someone you love. You can sign up for multiple months and choose multiple styles or you can make it a one time deal. I love Sparkle Box for so many reasons, and one of them is that I can order it from the comfort of my couch! This is a guaranteed hit with the fashionistas in your life! 

Birchbox 
So, I think this was my favorite birthday gift I received this year. My friend Erica got me a three month subscription to Birchbox (<-- Referral link), and I absolutely loved it! I'm not very creative when it comes to makeup, skincare, and hair care, so I've loved receiving my five samples each month! I've gotten everything from lip stains to eye shadows to BB Creams to perfumes to body lotions... even a hair clip! Some of the products I've liked way more than others, but it's been so fun to try out new things I never would have picked up before (like the most amazing leave in conditioning spray!). Again, easy to order from the comfort of your own couch, and so fun to receive the surprises every month! 

Time
I know what you're thinking. "But Angela! You said this was the lazy girl's guide to gift giving! How am I supposed to give someone my time when I'm being lazy?!" And you're right. Giving the gift of time will require a little effort on your part. But I honestly don't know if there's a better gift, especially for a new parent or someone who might be overwhelmed with responsibility at the moment. When someone offers to do something for you, whether it's drop off a caffeine-laden coffee drink or throw in a few loads of laundry, ohmigosh that's meaningful. There are days when I wish I had 12 extra hours, and I know I'm not alone. So I figure if I can help someone tack one item off a to-do list, that's a major help. And the cost is minimal! Time, people. Give it! 

What's your favorite go to gift? Comment below and give me some new ideas! 

How blogging changes after baby

Thursday, July 16, 2015

I've been thinking lately about how much I want to be blogging. I have so many ideas, and so much I want to say, but somehow time slips away, and the blogs don't happen. Even now, I'm sitting on the couch, sipping my morning coffee (it's 11:15 a.m. as I type, and I've reheated the coffee multiple times since we woke up at 6:20 a.m.), waiting for the monitor to go off to tell me my little man is awake. 

And he woke up. 

Now it's 7:20 at night. Henry is, blessedly, asleep. This is the first time he's gone to bed without a fight in three nights. My husband and I are having a mini-party/minor panic attack that he's going to wake up at any moment. 

So much has changed since having a baby. (Is that my mantra? Do I write that in every blog? It's TRUE.) I miss having lazy evenings to myself to come up with blog posts. I miss going for runs whenever I want so I actually have content to write about (We have a jogging stroller, but the instruction manual explicitly said we shouldn't run with baby until at least six months if not eight. SO CLOSE.). 

Naturally lots has changed about blogging. Like this: 

Blogs aren't written on any sort of time frame. 
I used to aim to blog three times a week. I used to have specific days in mind. Now, I blog when I can, if I can. Sometimes it's once a week. Sometimes two or three. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. I've learned to cut myself some slack on writing. 

Blogs are often written hurriedly and with a whole lot less editing. 
Oh boy. Ever put a baby down for a nap knowing you've got 45 minutes to eat lunch, go to the bathroom, switch the laundry, write thank yous, write a grocery list, AND blog. Yeah, that's not a whole lot of time. So when I have time to write, it's usually done quickly. And editing is usually nothing more than a gloss over. Perfectionism, be gone! 

Picture quality has declined. 
Back in the day, I used to take pictures. A LOT of pictures. And then I'd decide which ones to use. I used to use a real camera, even. Now, I snap a quick photo on my iPhone and hope it's good to go! I pop it in the blog and call it good. Way different. 

Blog ideas are often forgotten before I can write them down. 
I'm telling you, sometimes my ideas are genius! But they're forgotten before I ever get the chance to write them. I bet there are some really great blog posts just lurking in the depths of my sleep deprived brain! 

So maybe I don't get to write as often as I'd like, and maybe I don't clearly get to say what I want to say, but I DO get to spend every day with our sweet little man. And that makes it totally worth it.

Stitch Fix #13: A dress, a purse, and a romper, oh my!

Sunday, July 12, 2015

Stitch Fix #13 arrived this week! I had a few specific requests for Tan this time around. But, I'm getting ahead of myself. First, let's chat about Stitch Fix. 

If you don't know about Stitch Fix (<-- Referral link!), let me give you a short synopsis. Stitch Fix is a clothing subscription service, and you decide how frequently (or infrequently!) you'd like a shipment. You'll fill out a detailed style profile about your sizes, style preferences, and budget (If nothing else, it's super fun to fill out the profile just to see where your style preferences sit!). 

Then, you decide when you'd like to receive a shipment! Stitch Fix will send you five clothing and/or accessory pieces to try on in the comfort of your own home. This is perfect for seeing if the pieces you receive will work with pieces you already have. Your Fix also arrives with detailed styling cards to give you ideas of how to wear each item. Each Fix costs $20, but that fee is credited toward anything you decide to keep. When you've decided what you don't want, you simply check out online (you have three days to do so) and mail the items back in the prepaid mailing envelope. If you keep everything, you score a 25% discount. I love that I can work with my current wardrobe to see if the new pieces will match anything I already have! 

And, if someone signs up through your referral link, you get a $25 credit to use toward your next purchase! I love this service because it really gets me out of my fashion comfort zone (which lately consists of yoga pants and nursing tank tops!). 

As a side note, I also really love Stitch Fix's customer service. My Fix arrived the same day my grandpa passed away last week. I emailed them explaining what happened and asked if they'd be willing to give me two extra days until I could get some time and energy to figure out what I wanted. They emailed me back immediately and told me to take an extra WEEK. So, so kind of them!


This Fix was styled again by Tan, and she did an amazing job of meeting my requests. This time around, I asked for something with a scalloped detail (I love the look, but don't own anything with it!), a potential new purse, and a romper because I've been really wanting to try one! 

And now I need your help. What, dear friends, do you like the best? (Also, note the fabulously orange photos below because clearly these photos were taken in our basement. After a long day. While our son was magically asleep.)

1. Urban Expressions Marsha Bowler Satchel Bag ($54) 
I'm getting pretty desperate for a new purse since I was still using the one I was sent in 
April of 2014! I asked Tan to include one in this Fix, and she sent this one made by the same company as the previous bag. I like the color (kind of a pinky-tan) because I think it could work in any season, and the hardware is almost a rose gold, which I love. What I'm unsure about is the size (see dress photo below!). These days, I'm typically carrying a diaper bag along with my purse, and this is kind of a large bag. On the flip side, I could probably tuck a diaper and pack of wipes in this purse if we're just making a quick trip and skip the diaper bag completely at times. AND, it has a strap so I can wear it cross body, giving me an extra free hand. My husband thinks I'm convincing myself to like it because I want a new purse. What do you think? 

2. Dear John Kyleigh Straight Leg Jean ($78)
3. Daniel Rainn Marconi Embroidered Bib Top ($58)
These jeans are fabulous and fit like a glove... when they're cuffed! But when they're not cuffed, they're really kind of too short for me, especially since they're a straight leg jean. So... will I wear cuffed jeans enough? That is the REAL question here. What do you think?

The top is a GORGEOUS shade of blueish-green, and I love that it's nursing friendly, but I think the silhouette is wrong for me. It just sort of... hangs there, and it might be a little too boho for my tastes. This one is headed back! 

4. Everly Dixon Scallop Trim Dress ($64)
Oh, hi. I kind of love this dress. I've been wanting something with a scallop detail for so, so long, and this is beautiful. I love the neckline and the v in the back. And I wish so, so much that we had a summer wedding because this would be perfect! I don't really have a specific occasion to wear this too, but I'm honestly contemplating keeping it anyway because at some point I'll need it, right? 

5. Pixley Frida Romper ($68)
Oh, friends. I wanted to try a romper because I've never actually worn one before. Yeah, these do not flatter me. The pattern is super cute, but I just don't think I can actually pull this off. (To be fair, I actually like it in the picture better than I liked it on me in real life!) The top half is cute, but the bottom half... billows. 

So what do I do? Keep the dress? The bag? The jeans (and always leave them cuffed)? I just don't know. Weigh in and help me decide! 

Stuff I'm loving Saturday #16: Grandpa memories, candles, and books galore

Saturday, July 11, 2015

Ahhhh, Saturday. This week has been a tough one for our family, and yet, it still brings lots of things to love.

Grandpa G
(Photo credit: OMG Photography)
My sweet grandpa passed away on Thursday at the age of 90. I will miss so much about him, but he was suffering so much at the end. When we were kids, he taught my brother and I a song in Hungarian (it was about a little boy who went in the oven and got dirty and then got in trouble by his mom... which is super odd now that I think about it!), and if we sang it to him when we saw him, he would give us a dollar. You better believe we capitalized on that! But he quite literally has one of the coolest life stories I've ever heard. He immigrated to America from German occupied Hungary after World War II. His family had been in a displaced persons camp (his father and sister both died there), and he and his mom got to America with little money and knowing no English. And yet he made an amazing life for himself. And despite being in America for almost 70 years of his life, he still never lost his accent. Love that about him. He will be missed. 

The Grotto
(Photo Credit: Cari Hughes Photography)
If you've lived in or ever visited South Bend, Indiana, there's a solid chance you've made your way to The Grotto. Located on Notre Dame's campus, The Grotto is nestled near two lakes and The Basillica. And it's easily one of my favorite places in South Bend. In college, I used to walk there with fellow Saint Mary's students whenever we felt stressed (i.e. finals). Dan and I went there a lot during our courtship and engagement. And we even visited frequently to pray for our baby during my pregnancy. I just love it there. 

Yankee Candle's Jasmine Green Tea scent
One thing I've been doing every day is adding a scent to our home. I either light a candle or turn on our Scentsy warmers, but lately my go to scent has been Jasmine Green Tea by Yankee Candle. It's light and warm and makes our house smell delicious. And these candles seriously last FOREVER! My friend Beth got us some of the large sized ones for our wedding last year, and I still haven't used them all up! So stinkin' yummy! (Pun intended.)

The Little Books Boxed Set
Image result for little pea book
I try to read to Henry every day, and the past few weeks, we've been reading the Little Books Boxed Set over and over! The books tell the stories of Little Oink, Little Hoot, and Little Pea, and each of them wants something not typical for them (Little Oink wants to be clean, not messy, Little Hoot wants to go to bed early, not stay up late, and Little Pea is sad that he has to eat candy, not vegetables, for every meal). They're adorable and very cleverly written, and Henry and I both get a kick out of them! 

Four day weekends with the husband
Dan had a four day weekend over the Fourth of July, and I'm telling you, it was amazing. We both felt WAY less stressed, and it was wonderful to have the extra help with Henry. We both kept commenting that if he could have a four day weekend every weekend, we would get a ton done and probably feel much happier! If only we could become independently wealthy and BOTH be stay at home parents! 

The MUST TRY s'mores recipe I made this weekend... twice

Sunday, July 5, 2015

One of my favorite parts about Fourth of July weekend is spending time with our friends and family. And the other favorite part is the food! 

This weekend, I wanted to try something new for our rib cookoff on Friday with our friends Nick and Alishia. Enter my Pinterest boards. I seem to be queen of pinning a billion recipes and never really making them. This summer, my goal has been to try one new recipe a week, and so far, I've been succeeding! This awesome recipe was no exception! 

I'm a sucker for anything s'more flavored. Coffee. Chapstick. Actual s'mores. I love them all! And this seemed like the perfect sweet treat to take to a barbecue. The recipe came together pretty quickly, and I actually had most of the ingredients already on hand! 

Adapted from rachelschultz.com

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1+ teaspoon vanilla (I added a touch over a teaspoon)
1 cup flour
1 cup + 1 extra shake graham cracker crumbs (I added a touch over a cup to really get a good graham cracker flavor) 
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3+ Hershey bars (I used 3 plus some leftover chocolate pieces)
1 and 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Cream butter, brown sugar, sugar, egg, and vanilla together in large bowl. In a seperate bowl, stir flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. 
3. Slowly incorporate dry ingredients into butter mixture. After mixing, you may need to hand knead to form in to more of a dough. 
4. Press half of dough into a greased 8x8 pan. Set chocolate bars on top. 
5. Spread marshmallow fluff over chocolate and top with remaining dough. (I use the term spread loosely, as it's really hard to spread something this sticky!)
6. Top with remaining dough. 
7. Bake 35 minutes, or until golden.
These came out totally amazing. So amazing, in fact, that I made them a second time on Saturday for a party at our best man's house! Both times I served these, they had cooled, but I'm pretty sure they'd be even better piping hot. Just don't burn your mouth on chocolatey marshmallowy goo! 

What's your go to dessert for barbecues? I'm always looking for new ideas! 

Stuff I'm Loving Saturday #15: My favorite list yet!

Saturday, July 4, 2015

It's the 4th of July, ya'll! The weather in northern Indiana is near perfect this weekend, and we're planning to take advantage of it! We're also celebrating our brand new niece (born July 2) and her big brother too! I love that we now have a nephew AND a niece! 

 There are SO many things I'm loving lately, and I can't wait to share them all with you! Read on to see what my new favorite things are! 

Marcelle Cosmetics Golden Glow BB Cream
Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow
Remember a few years ago when BB creams got super popular? I tried a few, and I could NOT understand what all the fuss was about. What were these things supposed to do?! They didn't do anything for me! But then I met THIS BB Cream in my most recent Birchbox, and now I totally get it! It's light! It's airy! It offers really good coverage! It's absolutely perfect for days I want to look put together without putting on a face full of makeup (because it's summer, people!). This is the perfect addition to my makeup arsenal. 

Latched Mama
Latched Mama
Nursing mommas, this one's for you! Anyone else struggling to find cute nursing tops? Because, we're still nursing quite a bit over here, and I'm pretty sick of the same six Target nursing tops I've been rotating. I stumbled upon this site via Facebook, and ordered a few shirts on a whim. And I'm pretty sure I could LIVE in them forever (see the tank below!). Plus, I ordered on a Tuesday and the clothes were here by Thursday. Of the same week. Amazing! The customer service is amazing, and shipping is only $5! Sold! And one of my favorite things from there is my new...

Nursing necklace
Henry loves to hold on to something when he nurses. And lately it's been my hair. And he pulls. Hard. But now, he's got an awesome teething necklace to hold on to, and it's awesome! He's happy. I'm happy. And fashionable. (See above!)

The did-do list
This is something I read about on a mom blog. The mom was talking about how she was a total to-do list person prior to her baby's birth, but afterward, her list kept getting longer and longer and it made her feel terrible for not getting things accomplished. But then she started making a did-do list -- a list of things she DID do during the day. She treated feeding the baby ten times, emptying the dishwasher, writing three thank you notes, and making dinner as the huge accomplishments they were after having a baby. I LOVE the idea of the did-do list because it allows you to look back at your day to see how much you really did get done. Even if it's only a mental did-do list, it still helps to have something to reflect on at the end of the day. 

Family time
Because really, what's not to love! :D 

What are you loving this Saturday?

July's Bock Box: Lovely and literary!

Wednesday, July 1, 2015


Another month is here (July! How is it July!?) and that means my latest Bock Box has arrived! This month's surprise is lovely and literary (and a gorgeous shade of green!)! 

If you haven't heard of the Bock Box, let me fill you in! The Bock Box is a subscription service of all sorts of personalized, often monogrammed, goodies had picked just for you! Courtney Bock Designs offers a variety of items for home, ladies, babies, and more. When you sign up, you'll fill out a questionnaire that asks you for your sizes, interests, hobbies, and favorite colors. From there, surprises start showing up monthly (3, 6, or 12 month subscriptions are available!). 

This is my seventh month of getting the Bock Box, and I absolutely love it! July's box contained the Drink the Wild Air tank (the green is beautiful!)! The front has an awesome little bow and arrow design on the front. As an added bonus, the back contains an awesome Ralph Waldo Emerson quote (my American Literature teaching heart sang when I saw it!)! The fit is a little bit looser than my other CBD tank, so it's perfect and airy for summer. 
I love that CBD focused on my love of reading this month! And others received great items too! My mom got the awesome Canvas Clutch with Trim and Bangle and my bestie Andrea got the gorgeous Gold Monogram Tote for carrying to all her fun summer events! 

Bock Box continues to knock it out of the park for me, and I can't wait to see what August brings!
