Julep Maven for August: Boho Glam box

I haven't really posted much about Julep. It's a nail polish subscription. You're either into it or you're really not. For me, I'm into artistic endeavors and nail painting is something I've been trying to branch out into as a creative outlet. Nothing terribly fancy and certainly not for a side business. Just for my own amusement, I suppose.

I will talk more about how this sub box works, but first, to the box.

This months tissue paper and worms are pretty. *shrug*

Avni was an add-on polish that I paid for with Jules (it's like their point system currency). I had enough to cover an additional polish and Avni was such a lovely purple, how could I resist?

There was also an eye liner in Smoky Plum, but I have already given it to my mother who has needed a purple liner for some length of time. I'll throw up a stock image

That was my box for the month. It costs 25 a month. You usually get your first box free. (They tell you what the code is when you sign up.) I like this box but I will more than likely quit fairly soon. You really only NEED so much polish. I am starting to reach ridiculous amounts and I've only been a member for three months. 

The deal with this sub is you take their little beauty quiz and they will decide what category best fits you based on how you answered. I got Boho Glam.

You can customize your box on the 20th of every month when the Maven window opens. You can see what they have on offer and if you don't like what is in your box you can switch to any of the other ones that have polishes/products that you DO like, so it's not set in stone.


If you like what you see and you feel like you want to give this a shot, please feel free to use my  Maven referral code. I'm pretty sure the code to get your first box free is FREEBOX, but don't quote me on that. You will have to pay 2.99 for shipping, so keep that in mind if you order.

Wantable Intimates: August 2014

This month's Wantable Intimates didn't excite me very much. It was ok, but nothing that really spoke to me outside of the socks.

It's still one of my favorite boxes and it is very much worth what I put into it every month so I don't have any complaints.

Enough of that! On to the box!

I do enjoy the somewhat personal touch. I realize it's only a printed sticker, but it's nice.

It looks so neat and dainty i hate to ruin it by unpacking!

This is a tank/cami. It feels a lot like shapewear and it is very form-fitting. Feels nice. It will go nicely with some other new items I just got.

Under the tank, the rest of my box

Crew socks from TipiToe

The skulls, of course, are my favorite.

"The Florence Knicker" boyshort. Mesh argyle print accented with white lace. 

I assume the puckering accentuates the booty cheekal area? I have no idea. I kinda like it though.

This claims to be a crossover sleep bra. I enjoy a good soft bra and I've been fortunate to get one in each box. Very comfy.

As you see, the box value adds up to 82.00, which is great for only paying 36.00

The socks have to be my favorite item in this months box. I mean SKULLS. That's the quickest way to my heart. The panties are alright. I do LOVE the boyshort style.


If you want a Wantable of your own, please feel free to follow and use my Wantable referral code link. You can order a box of makeup, accessories (usually jewelry), or the intimates box for yourself (or if you're a guy, give a gift to your girlfriend or wife). I've tried the Accessory box before and enjoyed it. Be sure to look at my past entries to see what I got there if you need examples.

Graze for the week of August 10-17

I have discovered a brand new love from this round of Graze. Banana shortbread with caramel dipping sauce. HO-LY CRAAAAAP. It is forbidden fruit (bananas) but when it's just three little cookies, I'm sure it won't hurt too bad. (I'm a dialysis patient and bananas are high in potassium, which is bad. If you want to know more, ask in the comment section.)

Everything else was good too, but the shortbread wins. I could eat this every day for the rest of EVER.

If you'd like to get a free box, follow my referral link right HERE!



Would you like to have a look? Of course you would!

The guts

Shortbread and caramel by themselves are fantastic. This was heaven on earth for me.

Jealous? You should be! 

Scandinavian Forest mix. Lingonberries, blueberries, cherries, raisins and apples.

Sour cream and onion cashews. Just as good as it sounds!

Americas Nut Mix. Peanuts, almonds, pecans, and brazil nuts.

I have to say I was extremely pleased with this box. Everything that came in it was delicious. The shortbread was the absolute best and now I have to find and perfect my own recipe for banana-caramel shortbread.
