I have
recently entered the world of subscription boxes. I tried a few in the past and
didn't last long, but I'm finding some I really like. I'm embarrassed to admit
that I am NOT a minimalist. I do like surprises and I do like trying new
things. Subscription boxes are a way to try things that I wouldn't have gone
out and bought on my own. I also do like a bargain, so if I don't think it's
worth it, I am not willing to spend $$ on it.
Escape Monthly March 2013--Ireland
Escape Monthly is a destination-inspired monthly
delivery of luxury products to help you relax, renew and escape! Indulge
in experiences inspired by luxurious spas, tropical getaways, cultures of the
world and more! - See more at: http://escapemonthly.com. If I can't take a real
vacation every month, at least I can pretend with a vacation in a box. One
monthly box includes a trip to the destination. Or, you can purchase a trip on
their site for a discount. If you just can't live without any extras of items
in the box, you can buy them at escapemonthly.com/offers for a discount.
This is my first subscription box review. I have been
stalking my e-mail in-box to watch shipping details and anxiously awaiting the
FedEx delivery guy today. This box is usually $49.95 including shipping, but I
had a $24.99 Groupon so I thought I would try it out. It auto-renews monthly
for $49.95 and ships around the 15th of the month. If you cancel before the
10th, you won't be charged. I redeemed my Groupon voucher on March 17 and
received my box on March 21. Fast!!!

| Bewley's Irish Creme Coffee |
Bewley's Irish Creme
Coffee. This tin makes a single 48-ounce pot. I'm more of a single serve gal,
so I tried it in my Keurig. The grounds were beautiful and dark. I brewed a cup
in my Keurig immediately to finish this post. It was not as bold as the grounds
made it look, but I enjoyed the smooth flavor. The Irish Creme flavor wasn't
strong, so I added some of my own. :) $2.99 retail.

| Tea Bags |
Bewley's Gift of Gab Irish Tea. These 10 tea bags are not your average tea bags. They have such a lovely scent. I really can't wait to try it, but right now I'm enjoying my coffee. I wonder if I will have the gift of gab when I drink them. I sure could use it, to give me courage to speak up sometimes. $3.89 retail.

| Butler's Milk Chocolate Truffle |
O'Neill's Shamrock
Shortbread Cookies. I used to love a good shortbread, but since I'm now eating
plant-based, I have to pass on these. I'm sure a friend will enjoy them. Made
with 30% butter, you know they are decadent. $2.79 retail.

| Human+Kind Family Remedy Cream |

| Hogan's Brown Irish Soda Bread Mix |
BONUS ITEM:
Auld Sod Shamrock Seeds. My husband will kill me if I put them in the yard, but
maybe in a cute pot? Maybe, just maybe, I could get a 4-leafer out of them.
$3.95 retail.
Overall, the
box value was $78.08. I will become super popular with my friends when I give
away the non-vegan items. So far, pretty happy with my first box. If you want
to try it out, you can sign up at this link. http://mbsy.co/3vJhV?s=e Use the coupon code
YOURESCAPE and receive 20% off the lifetime of your subscription. That means,
for $39.99 a month, all this could be yours too.
