February 2020 Fabulous You Box Launch Review and Coupon

Fabulous You is a brand new lifestyle subscription box that sends full-sized items for well deserved
"me" time! Their first box just shipped and I have it to share here with you.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Fabulous You Box was created by co-founders Bonny and Becky, two strong women and cancer survivors. They wanted to create a box to help women pamper themselves and help give back, as a portion of their profits is donated to help find a cure for cancer!

Boxes are sent out quarterly (February, May, August, and November) and hold $400+ worth of items for $165 per box, with free shipping. You can also add wine orders to your subscription. Here are all of their subscription plans:

• Quarterly: $165 every three months
• Six Months: $310 every six months ($155 per box)
• Annual: $580 every 12 months ($145 per box)

Shipping is free with all subscription lengths. You can also purchase a one-time box without a recurring subscription for $190 and free shipping.

The wine options ship to all states except UT, MS, AK, AL, LA, KY, RI, DE, NJ, and OH. If you live in one of those states, check back at a later time, as they will continue to add more states as they can. Here are the price options for the wines:

• 3-Pack: $89.99 every three months
• 6-Pack: $139.99 every three months

You can also do a one-time sale of the 3-Pack for $109.99 or the 6-Pack for $159.99.

The box ships from Boca Raton, Florida and reached me in New York in about three days (shipped via USPS with tracking). The box arrived in great shape, packed inside a larger cardboard box. All of the items inside were neatly packed with plenty of recyclable paper shreddings to protect them.

 What a great assortment! This box really delivers on amazing lifestyle products. The February Launch box had 17 total items inside.

• Cacao Graham Crack and 4 Piece PAVE Chocolate Box ($6 and $12.50): These sweet treats are right up my alley! The Graham Crack is graham crackers, bean to bar chocolate, and toffee and sea salt coating that makes for an amazing salty/sweet crunch. The PAVE Chocolate Box contains four ganache chocolates in various flavors.

• The Drop Set of 2 Wine Glasses ($24): Subscribers will receive either the Clear or White Love Duo. I received the Clear and they're so pretty! They're made of unbreakable Tritan plastic and are 100% recyclable, dishwasher safe, and BPA-free. The design is simple and chic.

•  Kendra Scott Edie Silver Cuff Bracelet and Silver Pendant Necklace in Slate Cats Eye ($55 and $50): These pieces are absolutely beautiful! I'm familiar with Kendra Scott through other subscriptions and I love her designs. This necklace and bracelet set is perfect for me. I love the simple purple jewels and timeless designs.

• Margot Elena TOKYOMILK Yellow Flower Hand Soap, Song In D Minor Perfume, and Rosewater Lip Balm: I love TOKYOMILK! I didn't realize the line was by Margot Elena, but I know now. Keep reading for more information on each item.

•  TOKYOMILK Yellow Flower Hand Soap ($12): This soap is French triple-milled made from a pure vegetable base. The scent profile is "Midnight in the Garden" and smells light and floral and slightly sweet.

•  TOKYOMILK Rosewater Lip Balm ($10): This decadent formula has sugared rose petals and fresh apple blossoms to leave lips feeling silky soft. The formula is very smooth and feels great on the lips.

•  TOKYOMILK Song In D Minor Perfume ($36): I have another TOKYOMILK perfume so I'm familiar with their gorgeous packaging and beautiful scents. This one is a little different than what I would normally choose, as it's a floral with notes of white orchid, orange blossom, gardenia, and amber. I do love the amber base and I think this will be a great spring/summer scent.

   

   

Here are some more photos of the perfume. The design is just absolutely beautiful!

• Springs 2 Pocket Wrist Wallet in Black Marble ($19.95): This is such a handy little item and a great idea. It has enough space to carry your valuables, including a smartphone, credit cards, keys, etc., and wraps around your wrist for when you're on the go. This will be great for when I go running outdoors.
• TOKYOMILK Zebra Be Bold Reusable Tote ($12): This little tote is so cute and I love the colorful design. It's a smaller tote but is good for smaller shopping trips.

•  Teami Luxe Rose Gold on-the-go Tumbler ($54.99): This tumbler is great for hot and cold beverages and is made from BPA-free plastic. It's heat resistant and keeps beverages hot for up to four hours. It has an interior strainer specifically for taking tea on-the-go.

•  Teami Chai Tea ($29.99): This ayurvedic chai blend is richly spiced and perfect for brewing in your Teami Tumbler. Chai is one of my favorite types of tea so I will definitely put both to good use.
• TOKYOMILK Awaken Within Hand Creme ($22): This hand creme is scented with citrus and sky, with notes of orange blossom, jasmine, and neroli.

•  Spongelle Coconut Verbena Pedi Buffer ($16), Air Fresh Tuberose Zodiac Buffer ($20), French Lavender Boxed Flower ($16), Sugar Dahlia Boxed Flower ($16): Spongelle products are regulars in subscription boxes but I'm happy for that because I love them. They're great for travel or just pampering yourself at home. They're buffing sponges that have body wash infused inside of them, so all you have to do is add water and lather up!

The February Fabulous You Box has a total retail value of $412.43! I'm very impressed by all of the items inside. I think they did a great job of choosing different types of items that can be used for self-care.

The February box has sold out, so if you subscribe, your first box will be the May 2020 box.

February Gramma in a Box Review

Gramma in a Box is a cookie and craft subscription that's great for all ages. The crafts are easy and fun to create, and even more fun to eat!

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Gramma in a Box is a monthly shipment of sweet treats that you can create and share with your friends and family. You'll receive all of the ingredients you'll need, with enough to make three crafts and 15 to 20 individual snacks.

The February theme was, of course, Valentine's Day! All of the ingredients are portioned out and the only items you'll need to supply are things like a bowl and spoon for mixing.

Here are the pricing options:

• Monthly: $20 per month (first box is only $10)
• Three Months: $55 every three months (save $5)
• Six Months: $110 every six months (save $10)
• 12 Months: $220 every 12 months (save $20)

Shipping is free to the U.S. and taxes are included. If you want to cancel, do so by the 25th of the month. You can also try one box for $20 without a renewing subscription.

The first project was Valentine Candy Cane Hearts! The finished product is so cute. They were easy to make but could get messy for kids, so all of the crafts should be done with an adult's help. These consisted of melting the chocolate and then pouring it in between two candy canes and the lollipop stick to hold everything together. They took about five minutes to set.

The second craft was Crispy Caramel Bites and used up the remainder of the melting chocolate. The instructions said to place the caramel bites at the bottom, then mix in the cereal with the remaining chocolate and pour it on top. I added sprinkles and candy hearts for extra decoration.

The third craft is always cookies, and the February batch was Valentine Cookies. The cookies are pre-baked and sealed for freshness, but it's recommended that you complete the crafts within a week of receiving the box so that they are at their best. They're a sugar/shortbread cookie and are so delicious! The frosting came in white, pink, and red and the sprinkles had the same colors. 

• Visit Gramma in a Box to subscribe - First box is $10, no coupon needed
• Connect with them on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

Bottom Line: The candy and cookie crafts in Gramma in a Box are always fun and creative, and are a great way to show your loved ones that you care. The February box had a lovely assortment of delicious crafts!

modeS4u Kawaii Stationery Review

modeS4u is a stationery shop that has a huge selection of everything to meet your kawaii needs! They have everything from stickers to notebooks to fabrics and more, all in adorable patterns with plenty of popular characters!

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

modeS4u was started in 2007 and they are passionate about the kawaii (Japanese for "cute") things in life! They have postcards, pencil cases, stamps, rulers, and so much more featuring characters like Sanrio, Pokemon, and various animals and other adorable patterns.

I spent a long time looking through the modeS4u website because they have such an enormous selection of products, and I love anything cute. I was impressed by the wide selection of products and brands available. Aside from what I'm reviewing here, I also really liked their Hello Kitty fabrics and Cat Plush!

All of the prices are affordable and they ship worldwide. You could easily pick up a lot of great kawaii items for modS4u for a reasonable price. Shipping to U.S. is free with orders over $70.

My items arrived in a protective mailer, but inside the package they were placed inside this cute bag! I'm going to save it and reuse to wrap a gift for my nephew's upcoming birthday,

I received two packets of stickers, deco seals, and two sets of washi tape.

First up, the Cute Kawaii Animal Cat Stickers by Mind Wave. I love cats, and these stickers feature a bunch of different cats performing various jobs. I especially like the astronaut cat! I'll use these to decorate cards and letters that I send to friends.

Rabbits are my other favorite animal, and modeS4u has a ton of rabbit products. The Cute Animal Rabbit Puffy Bed Stickers are colorful and have bunnies in different positions along with accent stickers like other animals and foods. These are so adorable!

My Melody is a Sanrio character an I've always liked her because she's a little pink bunny. The My Melody Soft Sponge Stickers came in a set of different poses with shiny hearts and other characters to go along with My Melody. These are great for adding to packages and presents or journal entries.

I've never used washi tape before but I know it's a popular crafting item so I wanted to try some out. The Colorful Funny Bunny Washi Tape and Gold Metallic Funny Cat Washi Tape are both my Shinzi Katoh. I love both of the designs! The cats are super cute and the little bunnies are so colorful. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with these yet, but I added some to my journal to show you a better view of the designs.

• Visit modeS4u to shop
• Connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube

Bottom Line: I love the kawaii items that I got from modeS4u! Everything is so cute and they have such a giant selection that you're sure to find many items that you love. I appreciate their affordable prices, too.

New Subscription Box: EastBEV Co with 50% Off Deal!

If you like experimenting with new flavors, EastBev Co is a new subscription that I think you'll enjoy. I got to review their first box and am excited to share it with you!

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

EastBev Co sends everything you need to create fun cocktails, minus the alcohol. It's a fun way to broaden your drink horizons, especially if you don't have easy access to Asian ingredients. You'll receive three recipe cards and enough ingredients for four servings each, making it a great way to share new drinks with friends!

EastBEV Co was created by An, Chris, and Song, to share the cocktail culture of Asia. They are unable to ship alcohol, but they include all the other ingredients you'll need to create delicious cocktails featuring spirits you can find at most liquor stores and/or Asian markets.

Here are their pricing options:

• Monthly: $50 per month
• Three Months: $141 every three months ($47 per box)
• Six Months: $270 every six months ($45 per box)
• 12 MonthsL $504 every 12 months ($42 per box)

Shipping is free with all plan options, but boxes currently ship only to the U.S.

The inaugural box highlights one of the most popular alcohols in Japan: sake! It's well-known across the world, so I think it's a great introduction to Asian cocktails for the first box.

As you can see, all of the ingredients are individually-packed. The glass bottles are sealed with plastic wrap and everything was well-protected and nothing was broken for me in transit. The box also contains several informational cards, including info about the box, sake recommendations, and -- of course -- the recipe cards.

All of the glass bottles also have ingredient labels on the back with expiration dates.

You'll need basic cocktail tools to make the drinks, such as a cocktail shaker, strainer, and jigger. If you don't have these items, I think you can still manage. I have to admit I don't have a ton of cocktail accessories, but I do have a shaker - that's one you'll definitely want to get.

Sake (pronounced sah-KAY) is Japan's national beverage. It's fermented from rice grains with a special ingredient called koji-kin, which produces enzymes that breaks down the starch in the rice to form glucose. The result is sake, which is used in Japan for all types of ceremonies and celebrations. It can be served warm or cold and from either a tall bottle called a tokkuri (toe-COO-ri) or a porcelain cup called a sakazuki (sah-kah-ZOO-key). EastBEV Co recommends trying sake both warm and chilled before making the cocktails!

There's also a card with recommendations of specific brands and types of sake. I have to admit that sake is not my favorite on its own, but I found that adding it to cocktails like these to mix up the flavors was great!

I made the Lychee Saketini first. The other drinks this month were a Yuzu Sour and Spring Flower. The Lychee Saketini included lemon juice, lychee syrup, and a lemon wedge garnish (keep in mind, all of the cocktails include sake as the alcoholic ingredient). The Yuzu Sour included yuzu juice, simple syrup, optional egg white, and Angostura bitters and the Spring Flower included lemon juice, cherry blossom syrup, mint leaves, and soda water or ginger beer.

I wanted to try the Lychee Saketini first because I love lychee. This cocktail was slightly bitter, slightly sweet, and slightly floral. It was very refreshing and easy to make!

Bottom Line: EastBEV Co is a really fun box. I enjoyed learning new cocktail recipes with Asian ingredients and hope that they feature Korean beverages in the future. I'm excited to see what they have in store!
