We're starting a new monthly post highlighting our favorite discoveries from subscription boxes! Here are our favorite items from the past month:
Haley's Favorite:
The Item: Gilli Laney Maternity Cross Front Knit Dress
The Cost to Keep: $68
From: Stitch Fix Maternity
Why I love it: Gili dresses are a wonder I discovered thanks to subscription boxes - I usually find or request them from Stitch Fix and Golden Tote. They are consistently great quality, flattering, beautiful, and easy to wear. I love this Gili dress my stylist sent me this month! It really works for my last month of pregnancy here, and will also still be great and flattering post-partum. Plus, the wrap top will be practical for nursing. The colors are lovely and the print is the perfect size for me. As it gets colder, this will be great with leggings and boots, too!

The Cost: Value $9.50 ($18.99 for the monthly subscription of 2 11 oz. canisters of curated granola.Use code TRYIT to save $5 off your first month!)
From: Bear Naked Custom Made Granola
Why I love it: Granola goes quickly in my house, so a monthly subscription is super convenient for me. It's also a great way to try out unique, custom flavors. This Red, White, and Blue blend was an awesome introduction to the Bear Naked Custom Made Granola sub! It's slightly sweet, subtly chewy, and super hearty.

Jira's Favorite:
The Item: Beautiful Birdie Cosmetics Lipstick in Posh
The Cost: Value $22
From: Benevolent Beauty Box (Coupon: Use code MSA2017 for 15% off your first month!)
Why I love it: This lipstick is non-toxic, cruelty-free, and infused with natural ingredients like sunflower seed oil, shea butter, coconut oil, lavender extract, and lemon extract. The shade, ‘Posh,’ is a gorgeous, beautiful peach color with fine golden shimmer and a subtle vanilla scent. The quality of this lipstick is also spot on! It was really pigmented, moisturizing, and lasted as long as my MAC lipsticks!

Misha's Favorite:
The Item: Zelens Provitamin D Treatment Drops
The Cost: $185
From: The Cult Beauty Box by Caroline Hirons
Why I Love It: The price tag hurts, but I have never been so impressed with a skincare product in my life! I saw improvements almost instantly with reduced redness/patchy rosacea overnight and after a few weeks of use, my skin texture on my face and neck is more even, smoother, and so much softer than before. I also get patches of redness/tiny bumps on the tops of my arms, and these drops have helped so much. Also- Caroline Hirons mentions on her blog that these drops have helped numerous clients with their skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.

Nich's Favorite:
The Item: Cookie Chips – Coconut White Chocolate
The Cost: Value $4.68 (buy an 8-pack for $37.44)
From: SinglesSwag (Coupon: Save 20% off your first box with code MSA20)
Why I Love It: These delicious Coconut White Chocolate Cookie Chips were devoured in a couple sittings. The cookie chips had the right amount of coconut flavor and white chocolate chips for my enjoyment. The cookie chips were crunchy, buttery, and slightly salty, adding to the sweetness of the cookie chips.

Anna Reilly's Favorite:
The Item: Odacite Pure Elements Oleosomes Time Release Delivery Creme, 1.69 oz
The Cost: Value $68.00
From: Boxwalla Beauty Box
Why I love it: In less than a month, this natural, vegan, cruelty-free potion is already having a noticeable effect on my skin. I've been using it with the Odacite Pure Elements Papaya Drops that also came in the box, as they're intended to be mixed together and used in tandem to fight hyperpigmentation. The moisturizer is buttery soft, light, and leaves my face feeling refreshed and lively. Best of all, my skin is looking brighter than ever!

Rob's Favorite:
The Item: Modern Made Man Wallet
The Cost: Value $48
From: Gentleman’s Box (Coupon: Use coupon code MSA5 to save $5 off of your first box!)
Why I love it: I was in the market for a new wallet, so receiving one in this month’s Gentleman’s Box was perfect timing! The quality of the 100% leather material is extremely high and the color is so perfectly rich for my taste. I also appreciate that for such a small wallet, it actually holds quite a bit; I can comfortably fit 5-6 cards and cash in this!

Jessica's Favorite:
The Item: Herbivore Travel Sea Mist Texturizing Salt Spray
The Cost: Value $12.00
From: Clean Beauty Box (Coupon: Save 10% off your first box with code MSA10)
Why I Love It: This fine mist is a great way to add some texture to your hair, but it can also double as a refreshing body mist. The aloe vera balances out the salinity to avoid crunchy, dry hair. So you’re left with gently tousled waves that smell oh so amazing. I also love just spraying this on my body right as I step out of the shower. The scent lingers on my skin for hours.

Sara's Favorite:
The Item: Ellison Crochet Lace Top, size S
The Cost: Value $45
From: Golden Tote
Why I love it: This top speaks to my personal style in so many ways. Not only is the top a great quality, but the crochet is an interesting pattern (love those scalloped edges too!), the bell sleeves add a unique boho-esque flair, and it's versatile to wear dressed up or paired with denim and booties (shown here with my favorite subscription box find last month!).

Désirée's Favorite:
The Item: Craftpod Moth Kit
The Cost: $23.36 + $6.49 shipping to the US for two projects
From: Craftpod
Why I love it: This was a perfect little sewing project for summer! It was well designed and included enough materials to make two moths. The clear step-by-step instructions made it easy to achieve similar results as the designer's example item. The finished moths are very pretty and were fun to make.

Christen's Favorite:
The Item: Reusable Cotton Produce Bag
The Cost: Value $12.95
From: PlowBox (Coupon: Use code TRYPLOWBOX to save 20% off your first PlowBox Classic box!)
Why I love it: I'm constantly making efforts toward a more eco-friendly lifestyle and his reusable produce bag helps with just that. I love that it's roomy, its drawstrings keep produce securely in there without tumbling out, and that it has a cute design on the front. I'm getting such good use out of it!

Nicole's Favorite:
The Item: Beverly Hills High-Low Wrap Dress, size 3x
The Cost: $69.99, but $49.99 after $20 Stylist Fee was applied
From: Dia & Co
Why I love it: What isn’t there to love? Wrap dresses are universally flattering on every shape and size; and this dress definitely proves that statement to be true. The high low cut is great as to not make the maxi length too overwhelming from the front and the short fluttery bell sleeves, color scheme, and pattern lend to its very retro 70s vibe. The jersey fabric the dress is made of is incredibly comfortable also. I couldn’t resist it and kept it for myself; that is how much I loved it!

Liz's Favorite:
The Item: Vo. Bath & Co. Citrine Lotion Body Scrub
The Cost: Value $30
From: Maple Blume
Why I love it: This is the best body scrub I have ever tried. EVER! It’s a fine sugar scrub, so it’s gentle, there’s the perfect amount of shea butter to leave your skin moisturized after you rinse it off, and the citrus scent is so fresh, clean, and fabulous!
