Sophie's May Barkbox

Well, this post is a bit delayed, but today I'm sharing Sophie's Barkbox for May!

This box was absolutely adorable and had a Scooby Doo theme for the new movie that just came out. Whenever a package arrives now Sophie assumes it's for her and this day she was absolutely correct.

Here she is just waiting patiently for us to open her box. She knows there are fun toys and treats inside and watching how excited she gets just makes it more exciting for us. I swear we are the most over-excited dog parents on the planet, it's borderline obsessive how much we love this dog. 

We were surprised and excited when we opened the top of the box and saw Scooby on the top. Of course Sophie instantly grabbed Scooby and took off running! She always grabs the first toy she can and runs off like the Flash. Then she comes back to see what other treats are inside.

Scooby has been with us for a little over a month and has held up pretty well! His ears are a little tattered and his tail has seen better days but beyond that he is holding up nicely. He is a toy that stays in rotation now and Sophie often grabs him for tug or fetch. 

The Mystery Machine remains in near-perfect condition. This isn't a toy she has really played with much at all. I'm not sure if it's just a little too big or if it doesn't make the right sounds but she's not too interested in this one so far.

Oh the sandwich. Well, this was destroyed the first night it came into our home. This is a great tug toy but Sophie's teeth were just too strong for it. We ended up having to toss the little pieces and only have the bread pieces and the burger (I think it's a burger??) part left. Sophie will often bring us the bread for us to throw. So, I guess she's still sort of enjoying this one.

Both bags of treats have been loved and enjoyed! These treats were pretty small but she would perform all sorts of tricks for both to them. We loved asking her if she wanted a Scooby snack too :)

This "long term chew" isn't so long term for Sophie anymore. However it's always great to an extra "cookie" to give her.

Here is a picture of the inside of the box and you can see the other two toys that were options. I'm really glad we got the ones we did! 

Here Sophie is with her haul! You can see some other toys in the background too, girl is spoiled and always digging through her toy bin!

Do you order Barkbox or another subscription box for your pets?

March Barkbox

Last week we received Sophie's Barkbox in the mail! I'm telling you one of the few things that can give us that much joy in the mail is her Barkbox. Especially with everything that is going on we were so excited to open it.

Sophie couldn't sit still when Tim was trying to get her to sit, she was just SO excited!

The theme this month was the Australian Outbark and I was so excited when we opened the box and saw that! What a cute theme!

Every box has three plush toys. The ones we received in our box were:

A koala

A platypus

and a crocodile.

They are all super cute but the biggest hit so far has been the platypus. For some reason Sophie is drawn to it and we played quite a bit of tug with her with this one. 

In your Barkbox they always have a picture of all the other toys that went out. I love the lizard and the kangaroo! I'm always so tempted to order more but really does this girl need more toys?

We the answer seems to be yes because I added this piggies in a blanket toy to her box because I saw it on Facebook and thought it was funny!

We always give her one of each kind of treat so she can test them out and both were instant winners. The "long term" chews aren't quite as long term anymore. She can suck those down in a couple of minutes, but she still seems to enjoy them at least!

The only picture I managed to get of her during the box opening. This girl is always blurry when it comes to her Barkbox. She has the platypus in her mouth in this picture. (Turtle pictured is not from Barkbox and was gifted to her back in the fall)

Do your dogs get Barkbox? What toys did they get this month?

PopSugar Must Have Mini Box (AKA Tim let me open one of my presents early)

So Tim let me open one of my presents early! I was so excited to get the mini Pop Sugar box. Last year for our first Christmas together Tim got me a three month subscription and they always sent the best items in these boxes. I was ready to see what they would put in the mini version!

When I opened it up I saw two items inside and was immediately intrigued.

The first item is from Yellow Owl Workshop and is a festive stamp kit. I don't think I own a single stamp so I thought this was a cute idea. I can now use them when I scrapbook and also when I write cards for birthdays and other holidays- super cute! I need to get a bigger desk to hold all my crafting supplies :)

The second item is a gorgeous nail polish by Smith and Cult. It looked slightly purple but when I read the card that claimed it was rose gold and opened the bottle I could definitely see it. It's a gorgeous rose gold color and I can't wait to paint my nails with it. I am definitely using this for Christmas :)

Do you get Pop Sugar boxes? If you do, what products have you gotten that you love?

February 2016 Birchbox and Pop Sugar Must Have Box

You know I love a good mail day! I absolutely adore coming home to see a box has arrived for me and seeing my Birchbox and my Pop Sugar Must Have Box were no exception!

February's Birchbox was filled with five goodies this month.

I haven't been painting my nails quite as much as I used to lately but I definitely need to get back into that habit! This dark red from Color Club is a perfect late-winter color. It's dark enough to fit with winter but the red is a nice color for Valentines Day. The color is called That's My Jam which is extremely fitting.

This Naobay hydraplus cream is meant for super dry skin, which of course I have. I will definitely be trying this since my skin is getting to that point where I will try anything to keep it from drying out and flaking!

I love a good hair mask and am super excited to try this Argan Hair Mask. My hair is always super dry so it can always use a good refresh!

I'm not a huge fan of face masks because I never know quite how my skin will react to them but I'm willing to try Hey Honey Take It Off because I do know that honey can do a lot of great things for your skin. I will definitely give it a try soon.

This lipstick by Pop Beauty is a gorgeous color. I'm not sure how much I will actually wear it because I generally stick to my cake batter chapstick but I will give it a try one of these days.

Next up, my Pop Sugar Must Have Box! (Which Tim opened before I got home...)

First up this gorgeous scarf from Tilo. It is so silky and soft and absolutely adorable. I wore it on Valentines Day and it was perfect. I love a good neutral scarf to spice up any outfit!

Nothing could make me happier then a gift card! This $20 rewards card worked just like a gift card at Victoria's Secret. Sweet!

Victoria's Secret workout socks. Every girl needs some socks!

Victoria's Secret seemed to be a theme this month. Their hydrating body lotion looks great and although I should buy stock in lotion because I have so much, I never say no to being gifted more!

This Beauty Counter Cleansing Balm looks like a beauty regimen I might actually be able to follow! You simply put it all over your face and then rinse it off, no scrubbing required.

This midi ring is adorable! I''m not a huge ring-wearer but I actually think I'll be giving this one a try because it's so cute!

Cookies?! Yes, a sugar cookie mix, along with a heart shaped cookie cutter, and sprinkles was included in this bag. It will be fun to make these one day!

Last but certainly not least, this catch-all tray that says "hello beautiful". I love this tray! It fits perfect with my decor and I am obsessed with it!

What have you gotten in your subscription boxes this month?
