Bonjour Jolie February Box!

I was really excited last month to receive my first Bonjour Jolie box.  My second box came this week. It definitely did not disappoint!  This month's theme was "For the Love of Chocolate".  Can you argue with that?  Umm, NO!  "This February, indulge in chocolate.  Bathe in it, drink in it, eat it!"

Down to it.  If you missed my last post about Bonjour Jolie you might wonder what the fuss is about. Bonjour Jolie is a premium subscription box exclusively for women to be pampered on their period. Pretty awesome if you ask me!  No more last minute crazy runs to the store, have everything you need shipped right to your door!  Convenient, affordable, awesome and the perk you need during your cycle!

Here is the open view!  It is shipped in a discrete envelope to ensure your privacy.  Even the box is discrete.  I kept last month's box and filled it with my supplies to put it under the sink in my bathroom.  I am doing the same this month.  One more bathroom to go then a box for the trunk of the car!

Stash Chocolate Teas
In earlier centuries, tea was a valuable commodity traditionally transported by clipper ships.  The ship's captain often was presented with some of the finest teas for his personal use.  this supply was his "stash" stowed carefully as his "private reserve".  MSRP $1.50 stashtea.com

The Pampering

The "Supplies"
You can choose what ever brand you like.  That is the point right?  All the awesomeness plus the supplies you need for the month.  You get 25 items of your choice.  Another great way to use the subscription is to test out new products!

I order SoftCups and pads.  I never know which pads to get.  I've used SoftCups for 10 years so the convenience of being able to have them delivered is absolutely amazing.  Sometimes they are a little hard to find so if I forget to pick them up sometimes it is a hassle.  This makes the subscription even more perfect!  They are wrapped in chic paper bags which is not only stylish but discrete.  Just pull them out of the bag as you need them!

There you have it!  I tried the Red Velvet tea and it was good iced!  You could definitely taste the cream cheese frosting coming through which I was very skeptical about.  It tasted more like Red Velvet cake than the last thing I tried from the commissary bakery! (Sadly not kidding.)  The box was filled with fabric rose petals.  I think it was a super cute touch!  I took a photo of them but the heart I made with them looked a little more like a blob.  My son immediately attacked my chocolate.  He loves hearts so hearts + chocolate= my son is in love!  I am typically not a jewelry person but this necklace is very pretty.  I plan on wearing it to dinner for Valentine's Day this year.  This year my husband and I are taking our kids out and doing something special for them.  Our little mini dates.  I can't wait to use the chocolate bath salts.  I am a sucker for sweet smelling bath products.  I plan on keeping one of my soaps for when we have guests.  The poor Moon Pie never made it past the kitchen counter.  I gobbled it up!  I never was big on them but I've been in love with S'mores recently and well, that is all a moon pie is really!  YUM!  The next best yum was the lip balm!  I always stick to two favorites that I have used for years because a lot of lip balms are either greasy, sticky or the flavor is horrible.  This lip balm is NONE of these!  It goes on nice and smooth and has an awesome light chocolate scent.  It works well and doesn't get sticky after being worn.  I am currently hiding it so my son doesn't steal it!  He approves too! Even my little daughter wanted to try a little!
