Sweet Reads Box July 2020

I received July’s Sweet Reads Box in exchange for an honest review. This post also appears on A Year of Boxes. 

Book hang-o-ver (hang-oh-ver) noun 
1. The inability to start a new book because you are still living in the old book’s world.
2. The inability to function at work/school because you were up all night binge-reading.

Sam cannot make it to the committee meeting today as she has a book hangover.

If I’m looking rough today it’s not for nothing. I was up late last night finishing the delicious new psychological thriller from July’s Sweet Reads Box and I’ve got a book hangover in the worst way. Or maybe in the best way? I mean it’s a good problem to have all things considered. But I’m certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed today so it might be a good idea to keep this one on the shorter side. If it’s new to you, Sweet Reads Box is monthly book box that delivers a new novel, coffee or tea, a sweet or savoury snack and some bookish goodies tied to the story. They also offer several limited edition boxes throughout the year (I just ordered the Cat Lover’s Box for August and they have a Dog Lover’s one too). Let’s get to July’s.

Happy Monday, everyone! Whether it’s the start of your week or the tail end of a long weekend, thanks for stopping by and spending some of it with me. I’ve got some incredible things in today’s post and I’m excited to hear which ones you can’t live without. Starting with these darling water lily armchairs from KARE Toronto. I’m partnering with the co this month to share some of my favourite pieces and a chance to win one of them (not one of these chairs, but something also fabulous!) so stay tuned for that. And some furniture puns. (I was going to start with one about a chair, only I was afraid it wouldn’t sit well. But you’re still here! Sofa so good. 😂)

Lip Monthly July 2020

I received July’s Lip Monthly in exchange for an honest review. This post also appears on A Year of Boxes.

Psst! I’ve got a dirty little secret: I’ve been thinking about going on an all-almond diet. But that’s just nuts. (Ba-dum-bum-chuh.) Okay I meant a different dirty little secret, this chic little lipstick from July’s Lip Monthly. The US subscription service delivers a variety of full-size lip products + one bonus cosmetic in a reusable pouch every month. Subscriptions start at $12.95 USD/month and each pouch is valued at $50+. I wonder what other little secrets are inside? 🤔

Lookfantastic Beauty Box June 2020

I received June’s Lookfantastic Beauty Box in exchange for an honest review. This post also appears on A Year of Boxes.

Lookfantastic Beauty Box is a UK subscription box that delivers six premium beauty and skin care products for £15.00 or about $26 CAD/month. June’s included an extra treat: a zippered makeup case they’ve packed the products in rather than the usual box.
