GradBin! Subscription Box Review!

 
 
Today I have a review for all of you, for a subscription box that is pretty new to me. It's called the GradBin. This is a subscription box for students who live on campus, this is suppose to be something you can order every month and it comes with stuff you might need for your dorm. I have never heard of this company before, but I thought this was a pretty genius idea for all you students out there. I'm excited to see what's inside mine!
 
 
I do have to apologize by having a delay on my review for this one. I did this much earlier, but I lost all my data so I had to start again, but have no fear I am here today to give this amazing review! I'm sure if you happen to love this box then I'm sure you will like any of the ones that came after this one.

 
This first item in this box is some tea. This is a pretty good assortment as well. I have just started getting into the whole tea craze, so I'm excited to add these to my collection to try some new ones out! They sent four different kinds, Blueberry white, Chamomile, Masala Chai, and English Breakfast. All of these flavors are very different in style, and in taste too. I think the one I'm the most excited for is the Blueberry White. That one sounds amazing and I might just make this after I'm done with this review lol.
 

 
Next up we have a product I have never even hear of before. It's called chocoxo. What this product is, is ground up pieces of chocolate. I haven't opened this yet, but you can feel it through the bag that these are teeny tiny pieces of chocolate. It says on the front of the package "Real chocolate bits that melt instantly in warm milk." On the back of these packages are recipes for the perfect hot chocolate. I am a hugeeee fan of hot chocolate, especially around this time of the year, so I am super excited to try these out. I love how they included two of these too, I'm sure I'm going to be a huge fan of this product after I try it :)

 
Next up we have five squares of chocolate. Three of these are Dark chocolate, which happen to be my least favorite kind of chocolate, but I'm sure they wont go to waste in my house lol. You really cant go wrong when it comes to chocolate, everyone loves it lol. The two that are left, in the red wrappers are Milk chocolate with expresso! These just sounded amazing when I first seen these in my box and I just couldn't control myself. I just had to have one.....or maybe both of them. Sorry I couldn't control myself. These were amazing, and now I'm wishing more of these came in this box!
 
 
Another sweet treat is up next. This one is peppermint vanilla mints! These just scream "Dani" lol pretty much my two favorite things into one, peppermint, and vanilla. I do have to say these were pretty darn good as well. I did enjoy these and plan on putting a few of these in my new hot choco mix that came in this box. I have a feeling that will be an amazing combo!
 
 
The next item is not food this time lol. This time it's just a notepad.  This notepad is pretty basic but I like it and I'm sure I will be using this for something. I don't know about you but I always need to write stuff down, so this will be perfect I can just throw this into my purse and it will be great.
 
 
I like how the inside of this notepad is all blank. This gives you more room for writing things down. This may seem like just something to fill the box with, but I think this was a great idea to include something like this.

 
Were getting towards the end of this review now, lets see what we have next!
Next is a mug filled with some goodies inside of it. I'm sad to announce that the spoon that is attached to the mug didn't make it with the shipping :( But that's okay this is still a really great mug without the spoon.
 

 
Inside the mug there was a flash drive! How perfect is this?! I was actually planning to go out and get a new one soon, and now I don't need too lol. I go through these like crazy! So it's nice to have a few spares! I'm not sure of the GB for this, but that's okay I'm sure it will hold exactly what I need it to :)
 
 
The next item in this box is a product from a company by the name of Craftsman Soap company. This is a company I haven't heard of before. I love trying new products. The product that was included from them is called Plantain Lip Balm. Let's just say from the first sniff, I didn't think that this smelled anything like a plantain lol. I did decide to try it out on my lips and I do have to say this is super moisturizing and nourishing. I think this is a great product and I plan on using this a lot with this cold weather, this will be perfect.
 

 
Of course included in this box is sheet that includes a full description of each product and the brand information of each as well. This is pretty helpful. This was on top on the box but I decided to ignore that because I wanted to be surprised with what was inside this box! For my final thoughts on this box I would have to say I'm pretty impressed with this box. I think this is a great subscription box for college students. This doesn't just have to used my college students, this would be great for a lot of people. I could see college students being the most beneficial from this box however. I like all the products that were included in this box. I don't think there is anything I didn't like actually. I am excited to try them all out. GrabBin is super affordable and really flexible too, they range in prices from ($19.95-$24.95) so you can get the box that is perfect for you!
 
I want to thank everyone at GradBin for letting me review on of their boxes! I loved this box and the products that were inside! I hope to work with you guys in the future!
 
Make sure you check there website out and get your hands on your very own GradBin!

GlassEtchingDesigns On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!


 
I received this gorgeous glass etched mason jar mug from a shop on etsy by the name of GlassEtchingDesigns On Etsy!

 
I am in love with this mason jar. First lets just be honest who doesn't love mason jars to begin with lol. They totally took it to the next level when making this mug. I know its kind of hard to see in these picture, but I included a few different angles so you could really see what this piece looks like. It is gorgeous. On the front of the mug it says let it now with small little snow flakes on it. This design is actually etched onto the glass which is pretty cool. I have never had an etched glass piece, and now I am super excited that I do!
 
Retails:($12.00)
 
Here's a better image of the design to give you a better idea on what it really looks like. I am going to be completely honest when I say this, pictures really don't do this item justice. It really is an amazing piece. I was also worried about receiving glass in the mail, but they really took care of that issue of mine. They packaged this up really nicely. I was super impressed when I opened it up!
 
 
The top of the lip isn't like your basic top on a mason jar cup. This one has some pretty cool cut outs which makes it pretty unique. I have never seen a top like this before. In the direct center there's a pretty big whole, which would be perfect for a straw. The designs of the cut outs also match the cup pretty perfectly. The cut outs kind of look like a snowflake, which is pretty cool.
 
 
Overall I'm highly amazed. I have been curious to try a product like this for a long time, and I lucked out with getting an incredible shop that did a great job. This shop is amazing and does amazing work as well. All their products are truly beautiful.
 
 
These would be great gifts for anyone, just because they are so versatile in what you can use these for. I plan on using mine just for decoration, it's going to be perfect with a candle inside of it.

TheDay On Folksy!

I received a mug from a shop on folksy by the name of TheDay

She sent me  mug that she customized and put her own image on. The mug she designed on is just a plain white ceramic mug.
Retails:($6.00)

The image she placed on this mug, is very simple and says love with a small heart. I love this design because it isn't very busy. She did an amazing job at putting this design on the mug, because it looks pretty perfect. 

One of the two things I actually look for in a mug is if its dishwasher and microwave safe, which in this case this mug is both. Not only did she do a great job at designing this adorable mug, but its also on a good quality mug which is fabulous!

Overall I'm super impressed this mug doesn't look  like it's homemade at all. This mug looks like something you would purchase in the store. This shop owner is going to go far with her work, all o the things included in her shop are equally as nice as this mug, I suggest checking her shop out for sure!

MugShotsTampa on Facebook!




 
 
I received 2 beautiful pieces from MugShotsTampa on Facebook!
 
 
The shop owners name is Shannon and she is super friendly and communicates really well!
I told her I wanted something Disney related and she did a phenomenal job. She hand painted two glasses for me. This first one she painted is a black coffee mug that says "Dream" on it. This mug is beautiful and has gold and silver paint on it. I'm pretty excited about this mug to be honest.
 
The next item I received is a shot glass. This shot glass has an adorable tiara on it which I love!
This glass has pink and gold in it which is really eye-catching. Both of these pieces are incredible and you can see the amount of time she puts into each and every piece which is just awesome. Not only is her work that paints really nice, but also the type of glasses that she chose to paint on is really nice as well.
 
I highly suggest checking her out here:
