I have been a subscription junkie since childhood. From collecting every J-14 magazine in elementary school to online game subscriptions in highschool, it’s no wonder I became a subscription box addict as an adult.

If you’ve been curious about trying any of the above subscription boxes for women, but haven’t been ready to make the plunge, maybe this will help.

Here are 5 reasons why I absolutely love getting lifestyle subscription boxes.

1. It’s an opportunity to try new products or brands. I can’t even begin to tell you how many amazing new brands I have discovered through subscription boxes that I continue to purchase from. Had it not been for boxes like Beachly or FabFitFun, I would have never tried products from companies like Earth Harbour, Tula, Amika, and so many more!

2. I’m always stocked up on products. Thanks to these lifestyle subscription boxes, I rarely ever have to purchase skincare, haircare, or bodycare products. I always have a surplus of facial cleansers, body lotions, detanglers, etc.

3. You get a lot of bang for your buck. Sometimes you don’t realize how valuable some of the products in the boxes are and oftentimes, one product that you receive is as much or more than what you paid for the ENTIRE box. One time, I received a 2-piece skincare set in an AllTrue box and the skincare set alone was valued at over $200!

4. Getting boxes is a major seratonin boost. I’m someone who has always loved the element of surprise so getting these boxes delivered to my doorstep is the ultimate rush. Even if I picked all the products myself (FabFitFun and Alltrue allow you to customize your boxes!) it’s still fun to tear into them and see everything in person.

5. You can gift the items you don’t want to keep. I’m always super impressed with the quality of the items in these boxes and find that they make AMAZING gifts. I often will pair a few leftover items that I dont want or need into a cute basket for a unique, custom gift for birthdays or holidays!
