  • 💍 My Honest Review of the Maeven Bridal Subscription Box

    💍 My Honest Review of the Maeven Bridal Subscription Box

    Wedding planning can be so exciting — and a little overwhelming! That’s why I’ve fallen in love with small moments of joy along the way, like my latest discovery: the Maeven Bridal Subscription Box. If you’re a bride-to-be looking for a bit of monthly magic, this one’s for you. Each box is beautifully curated with over $120 worth of bridal goodies, designed to make the wedding planning process feel more special (and way more fun).

    When I subscribed, I decided to skip the Intro Box and go straight for the themed monthly boxes — best decision ever! I had tried another bridal box before, but the items just didn’t feel “me.” Maeven, on the other hand, nailed it. Every piece felt thoughtful, stylish, and high-quality. Here’s a peek at what came in my first box — and why I’m already hooked.


    🧶 MRS. Knit Pom Pom Hat

    I couldn’t love this hat more if I tried! Living in Iowa means cold winters, so this cozy “MRS.” knit pom hat couldn’t have arrived at a better time. It’s soft, cute, and perfect for those snowy morning coffee runs. Definitely going to be a winter staple!


    “MRS.” Glass Mug

    I’m obsessed with this mug — it’s so simple, elegant, and perfect for that newlywed glow-up. My fiancé and I are currently house hunting, and I can already picture myself sipping morning coffee from my “Mrs.” mug in our first home together. (Manifesting that kitchen counter moment ✨).


    🎈 Pop Fizz Clink Sign, Ring Balloons, & Acrylic Tag

    These are going to be so fun to use for upcoming celebrations! The “Pop Fizz Clink” sign will make a cute addition to my bridal shower mimosa bar, and I love the idea of reusing it for the bachelorette party — or even the wedding reception. The acrylic ornament/bag tag will be perfect for our honeymoon luggage (we’re still deciding between Japan and Canada — I’ll keep you posted!).


    🧦 Bride Vibes Socks

    Okay, these made me laugh because I literally had a similar pair that my fiancé stretched out with his giant feet. So, I’m thrilled to have a fresh pair that’s just mine this time! They’re soft, comfy, and perfect for those cozy nights of wedding planning with a glass of wine in hand.


    Overall, I am so impressed with Maeven’s attention to detail and quality. It truly feels like a box full of joy every month — perfect for brides who want a little luxury during the whirlwind of wedding prep.

    If you’re considering subscribing, I say go for it! It’s such a sweet way to celebrate your engagement journey and make every step toward “I do” feel a little more magical. 💕

  • ✨ Fall FabFitFun 2020 Box Review — Worth the Hype?

    ✨ Fall FabFitFun 2020 Box Review — Worth the Hype?

    Woohoo! My box finally arrived — and let me tell you, it was worth the wait! There was a little mix-up with my debit card (I had to replace it due to a security issue), so my add-ons didn’t go through in time. Sadly, that meant missing out on the Botkier New York Trigger Backpack I had my eye on, but the rest of the box totally made up for it.

    Here’s what came in my Fall 2020 FabFitFun box and my honest thoughts on each item:


    💁‍♀️ FOXYBAE 25mm Black Curling Wand with Rose Gold Barrel

    I’ve always wanted to try a curling wand, and this one is absolutely gorgeous. The rose gold detailing gives it such a luxe feel! I can’t wait to use it for soft, bouncy curls — especially for holiday events.


    👓 Nectar Sunglasses Blue Light Blocking Glasses in Brown Tortoise

    Hands down, my favorite item from the entire box! Since I work from home and spend hours in front of my computer, these blue light glasses are a total game changer. If you didn’t get these in your box, I highly recommend grabbing a pair.


    💧 Masontops® Glass Water Bottle with Neoprene Sleeve in Turquoise

    This bottle is adorable and eco-friendly! I love that it’s glass with a protective sleeve. The turquoise color isn’t usually my vibe, but it’s growing on me — plus, it keeps my water cold for hours.


    ✨ Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Pore Perfecting & Refining Serum

    This one was just okay for me. I know Dr. Dennis Gross has a great reputation, but this serum didn’t wow me. Still, I’ll give it a fair shot in my skincare routine before making a final call.


    🍴 HIP Cutlery Set

    Such a cute and practical surprise! I probably wouldn’t have picked this out myself, but I love having a reusable set on hand for quick lunches or picnics. Bonus points for the fun color.


    🎃 Voesh® New York Pedicure in a Box Duo – Pumpkin Spice

    Confession: I’m not the biggest pumpkin spice fan (I know, shocking for fall!). But I do love a good self-care moment, and this will pair perfectly with my at-home foot bath.


    💆‍♀️ Tokyo Perfect Repair Treatment Masque

    My hair needed this! After years of coloring, it’s been through a lot. I’m taking a break from dyeing for now, so this repairing mask is exactly what my hair deserves.


    💫 The Beauty Crop® Glow Milk

    I wouldn’t have chosen this myself, but it’s fun to experiment with new makeup. The Glow Milk gives a nice dewy finish — perfect for when you want that fresh, radiant look.


    Final Thoughts

    Overall, I’m so happy with this season’s FabFitFun box! It had the perfect mix of beauty, wellness, and lifestyle goodies. Even though I missed out on my add-on, I’m still thrilled with what I received. I can’t wait to see what surprises are in store for the Winter box!
