Small Ulta order

I got that Not Your Mother's Beach Babe shampoo and conditioner sample in my Influenster VoxBox not long ago and decided I cannot live without this product in my life. It smells delicious. Intoxicating, even. It has this rich coconut scent that just screams of a sunny day at the beach. It makes my hair soft and wavy and gives it a bit more volume than I'm used to. It's also sulfate free, which is a huge pro for me. They were on sale at Ulta for buy one get one for 50% off, so how could I say no? I couldn't. They always give you the option at checkout for them to send you some sort of samples too. Things like fragrances or skincare. I chose skincare this time around. This is what I got:

You can always go check out Ulta for yourselves. They almost always have great sales going on. This is one of my favorite places to shop.

My ginourmous tubes of beach babe. Mmmm. And sample things

They sent a new BB cream to try. Generous sized sample. I can't wait to try it out!

A cleansing wipe for acne prone skin from Murad and an ionic clay mask from Botanics. 

Again, not a subscription at all, but it qualifies since I order it online and it is part of my fun mail.

Coffee & Company

This is not a subscription but this is a company I discovered one year on vacation in Gatlinburg. Tennessee. I've been a faithful customer for many years now and I recently decided I needed some new beans to sip on.

The woman that runs the company is Jeanette Peterson. She always includes a free sample (at least one, sometimes more) and she always includes a little note to say thanks. The actual shop is tiny and charming and smells like heaven. I hope to someday go back and browse her shop and smell all the goodness and then order a fresh cup and go sit out in the sunshine and enjoy the day.

The thank you note!

My two pounds of coffee and the free sample

Smoky Mountain Mist
Blend of Indonesian, African and Central American coffees. Medium body with clean after taste.


The sample is LeConte View

Aromatic blend of Indonesian & African coffees with a rich smooth taste. Hints of fruity black currant notes. Medium bodied and well balanced. 



And last, but not least, Highlander Grogg.
A tasty  blend of Irish Crème, rum and hazelnut.


The descriptions really don't do them justice. I've had the two I bought before so I can testify to their good ness but I have not tried LeConte View yet. I'm sure it will be equally good. These beans are always nice and fresh, well roasted, and even a touch oily. Highlander Grogg is my absolute favorite. I almost always order a pound of that every time I put in an order. 

They have a nice assortment of straights and flavors. They also offer decaf if you're trying to cut down your caffeine intake. Definitely check them out! They also change things up depending on season! The seasonal flavors can be pretty damned good! Check out Coffee & Company and let me know what you guys think!
