5 Things Friday

This post contains affiliate links.

ONE. RocksBox. I feel like I have been talking about this forever and not really told you what it was, sorry!! RocksBox is a premium jewelry subscription box that, in my opinion, is similar to Netflix. You have a stylist that sends you three gorgeous pieces of jewelry that you can wear as much as you want and when you want more you have the option to buy those pieces or send them back and get new ones. Unlike most subscription boxes where you only get one box a month, you can get get multiple RocksBoxes as long as you send your previous box back. It’s genius!! Use code riccibff1 if you would like to get a month of RocksBox for free, but you had better act quick because I think I only have ONE free month left to give!!!

Here’s what I got in my very first RocksBox…

I got a fabulous first box!! I got the Perry Street Kaylee necklace (which I would up buying to keep!), the House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst Button Earrings in White, and the Gamine Monica Bracelet in Gold (which I also kept).

TWO. First of all I have to admit that I got a little bit overwhelmed when I first got Netflix/Hulu Plus/Amazon Prime. I wanted to watch everything and you better bet that I tried. I made through all of Orange is the New Black and Downton Abbey and then I got stuck trying to watch shows that I wasn’t really into but everyone said I should. Some of those were House of Cards, Friday Night Lights, and Breaking Bad. I tried to get into them, I really did but it just didn’t happen! So I just watched random episodes of Friends and Gilmore Girls for a while until I finally fell in love with a new show. Are you ready for it?? REIGN!!

Y’all!! This show is amazing!! I have always been really into history and this show just fascinates me. It’s so good and the third season premiers soon and so I must get caught up!! I’m on season one now so I have a little bit to go. It’s sooooo good!!!

THREE. School is over for the semester soon and I couldn’t be more excited. After this semester I only have 7 more classes to take and then I’m done. I thought about taking a summer class but I really don’t want to do that. I need my summer off to catch up on my shows, go to the pool, and just relax, and still work full time of course, ugh. Can you feel me on that one?

FOUR. I have found a new toothpaste that I LOVE. Yes, this is blog worthy news and yes, it is a kids toothpaste. With my Invisalign I can’t use whitening toothpastes and it has to have enamel protection, and has to taste good for as many times as I brush a day, so that pretty much only leaves me with kids toothpastes. I found this bad boy at Target and fell in love. I am going back to get more flavors soon.

FIVE. DōTerra essential oils. I am in LOVE!!! I got my first big shipment in this past week and tried them all as soon as I opened the package, pretty sure I was smelling like a hippie…HA! But really though I do love these oils and have been using them pretty much every day. I love my Allergy Bomb (lemon, lavender, and peppermint) and took it to work with me to work and was rolling it on everyone and they all loved it too, it’s good stuff y’all!! If you want to try something or want more information then hit me up, I’m your oily girl!!

    I admire subscription boxes from afar and always mean to get one. But this jewelry box definitely seems worth it.

    I thought the toothpaste was makeup or lotion at first because of the packaging- never heard of that brand before- I’ll be on the lookout for it since my boyfriend has Invisilign he has to be careful too.

    Oooh rocksbox sounds really cool! I just signed up for my first ever subscription box (aka “glam bag”) and I’m waiting on it’s arrival. I hope it’s good! I love surprises though so this will be fun, regardless.

    I started watching Reign when it first came on. Got a few episodes in and then stopped. Not sure why. I think because it came on when one of my other shows was on hiatus and then I started watching it again.

    I’ve heard so much about do Terra. I really need to try them out myself. So much talk about them makes me think it’s another fad, but I’m intrigued!

    That sounds like a great subscription box. I like that you can try out the pieces and then return the ones that you do not want to keep. It is a very cool concept.

    My only thing with Rocksbox…I feel like I’d want to keep EVERYTHING. I cannot subscribe, simply for the sake of my checking account. LOL!

    I LOVE essential oils! I’ve been exploring other brands, which makes me feel almost bad since I’ve been hooked on young living for a while. And I think I need the rocksbox. Like now. lol.

    I love the idea of a jewelry subscription box. That said, I’d probably bond with all the pieces and get stuck buying them all, lol. Lots of pretty stuff!
