July Bonjour Jolie Review

I've been debating getting a TOM box for months now.  I finally settled on giving Bonjour Jolie a go.  They send you your feminine products (pads, liners and/or tampons in your brand of choice) along with teas, goodies and products to pamper your period for $16 a month plus shipping.  They also ship based on your cycle, so you know you'll be covered in time.

This month had the theme of Independence.

The packing was so cute.  Everything was packed in these little purple satchels and there were faux rose petals in the box as well.

Advil: ($.50)  You can select whether or not you want them to send you Advil.  Packets like these are always handy to have in your first aid kit or purse.

Bonny Bubbles Silky Body Powder: ($.67)  This is lightly scented, deodorant body powder.  I've never used anything like this, but I am glad to have the chance to.

Fleury Girls Body Lotion: ($.75) I love water scents, so I really like By the Sea,  The little pouch this came in is super cute, too.

Spa Girl Bath Bomb: ($.66) J takes far more baths than I do, so I handed this off to him. 

CrochetHappyMommyof3 Facial Scrubby: ($.10) This little crochet circle is meant to be a face exfoliater and makeup remover.  I usually use my Olay Cleansing Brush to wash my face, but I'll use this to remove eye makeup.

Toot Sweet Salted Honey Caramels: ($1.48)  They got a bit soft while sitting in my mailbox, but that didn't stop me from eating one immediately.  Holy cow these suckers are good.  You can really taste the honey in them.  I might have to order some of their dark chocolate caramels once the seller comes back from vacation.

Bigelow Teas: ($1) I don't drink hot tea much, but it's nice that they sent a good variety.  Maybe I'll find one that will turn me into a tea drinker.

Chiffon Sarong: ($16) This sarong is very pretty, but I'm not much of a sarong person.  I think I can find a use for this, though.

The feminine supplies: (~$6) Obviously, since you request the brand and type of protection you want, the price varies.  You can request different ones each month, if your needs change or if you just want to try out other brands.

The total value of the box is over the subscription cost, which is always nice.  I like that they include indie brands that I wouldn't have gotten to try otherwise.  Honestly, the caramels alone make this box worth it to me.  It took every ounce of restraint I have not to eat all four in one sitting.  Besides, anything that makes my period any less sucky is a win in my book.
