As I was getting ready to write my blog, I wasn’t sure what I was going to write. As if by perfect timing, my FabFitFun Spring Box got delivered! As an annual member, I pick my items in advance; a couple weeks ago, I went through and picked, and then it turned into a waiting game. Normally, once I pick items, I am impatient for the box to come, but this time it didn’t entail too much waiting.

For those who don’t know how the FabFitFun subscription works, you either choose an annual membership or a seasonal subscription. The difference? With the annual subscription you get billed for all boxes at the beginning of the cycle, you can customize your whole box with more options, and you customize and get your box earlier. No matter which subscription, you get a Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer box with items corresponding to that season.

This season I was most excited about two shades of lip gloss from Fenty by Rihanna. I have always wanted to try Fenty but never got around to buying any products. So when I saw it was an option, I made sure it was my No. 1 choice.

Another item I was excited about was a stationary bundle that came with a variety of cards and two bright-colored pens. Whenever I need a card for an event, I am always scrambling last minute to get one. Now I will have one handy.

Lastly, I was excited about a hot pink Kate Spade wristlet. I love anything Kate Spade, and I don’t have anything that color; it is the perfect size for running errands when I just need my phone, keys, credit card and driver’s license.

I am already excited to see what will be in the summer box.
