However, there are times when a couple needs to have their "alone time". In our case, it is sometimes quite difficult being that we only have one child. You would think, now that she is heading towards her almost "pre-tween" stage this would be the opposite, but it's not. My hubby {who adores our daughter more than he adores me!} lovingly likes to refer to her as "CB".
I would like to think you know what I am referring to! Anywho...
During the winter break I spent my days with my daughter giving her my undivided attention and once my husband arrived home from work - everyone was pretty much on their own, so to speak. My husband would make it a goal to play with our daughter in hopes that she would get agitated and stay in her room from exhaustion {which worked wonderfully, might I add!}.
I know that you are most likely thinking, "well, that's just mean!". I hate to disagree, but in this case, I have to! Both my husband and I were excited to try out some of the spicy goodies that came inside the much anticipated monthly beauty box sent by Spicy Subscriptions.
Spicy Subscriptions is a monthly beauty box provider whose goal is to add spice to the boudoir. Now, the contents inside a Spice Box can be used by anyone, whether you're married or single. In my opinion, that's a plus! As you can see in the photos above, the December 2012 Spice Box contained quite a few FULL SIZE products along with a few samples.
Let's break it down one item at time:
- ini-Mals - {FULL SIZE} This is a waterproof messager with a soft jelly stimulator on the top. The stimulator has bunny ears that flickers and vibrate when in use.
- Dona Kissable Body Drizzle in pomegranate martini- {FULL SIZE} As the name states, this body lotion is to be used as a tasty treat. The lotion is superfruit and aphrodisiac infused - this allows the lotion to condition the skin as well as provide flavor.
- Pink Lubricant - {SAMPLE} This creme lubricant is non staining,glycerin free and contains pure water mixed with creme emulsifiers along with a touch of silicone. The texture is ultra soft and velvety.
- Masque Sensual Flavored Gel Strips - {2 SAMPLES} Chocolate & Mango flavors - these gel strips are designed to melt on the tongue masking or blocking any flavors related to the forbidden zones.
- Aloe Cadabra Peppermint Tingle - {SAMPLE} This personal lubricant is 95% organic - main ingredients include organic aloe vera gel, vitamin E oil, and organic flavoring extracts.
- Good Clean Love - {SAMPLE} This product is also 95% organic - there are NO petrochemicals, parabens, and glycerin. This lubricant is 100% vegan!
- Personal Lubricant for Women {SAMPLE} This brand is recommended for women with sensitive skin. Contains NO silicone, glycerin or oil.
- JO H2O Flavored Personal Lubricant {FULL SIZE} - Other than being silky in texture, this lubricant is watermelon flavored. Product is non toxic, non staining and latex safe.
Before I get into my personal findings, let me ask you a question: What other monthly beauty box provider, that you know of, gives this many products in ONE SINGLE box? {keep that thought in mind!}
My Findings:
When I opened the Spice Box, I was beyond amazed. There were three FULL SIZED items included with the samples - which were sent in pairs; in other words there were two samples a piece. So that means that there were a grand total of twelve items inside! Now, that is what I like to call a "real monthly beauty box!"
The Mini-Mals is adorable- the top is shaped like a bunny with ears. It's about the size of your hand, very light-weight and when in turned on does not make a lot of noise. Plus, it's waterproof - which is nice for those who like to be discreet.
Of all the different lubricants, Dona Kissable Body Drizzle and Aloe Cadabra are the top favorites. The body drizzle smells and tastes just like a jolly-rancher with hints of sweet and tangy notes. On the other hand, the Aloe Cadabra was tingly and refreshing. The peppermint flavors give a very cool and refreshing sensation. It was not sticky or sugary.
The other items have not been used as of yet. Honestly, there was so much product to try, we would definitely need more time so I can give you my honest feedback on the other samples! But once I have a chance to take them for a test drive I will come back and update this post.
Of all the monthly beauty box subscriptions floating around online, I HIGHLY recommend the Premium Spice Box subscription. If I had to rate this service, it would get FIVE STARS with no questions asked! The total value of the Spice Box I received and reviewed is about $42 - but the actual cost of the box is only $20.95 with FREE shipping.

OK now this box looks fun. I had no clue they had a monthly subscription!
ReplyDelete@Tara - Yes, Spicy has two different types of subscriptions available; a premium and deluxe - The box in this review was a premium, I can just imagine all the amazing products that are in the Deluxe!
DeleteThis would be a fun monthly subscription to give or to get!
ReplyDeleteThis will help remind us parents that we need to keep our marriage spicy. Sometimes the jobs of being a parent will overlook the jobs as a spouse!
ReplyDelete@Jacqui - This is very true and common. Sometimes having a hectic family life can certainly take away from "couple time". Everyone needs attention at some point, right? ;)
DeleteThank you for reading and commenting on the post!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing & I wasn't thinking it was rude. I am a single mom so imagine trying to wear out a teen boy to get to bed(;
ReplyDeleteSo disappointed. I found this box to be sub par. Cheesy items. What I am most upset about is that I wrote to cancel my subscription. After receiving a confirmation, my account was charged with out authorization. Resulting in a $34 fee on my end. So now, I get to pay $34 of my own money on the behalf of spicy subscriptions poor customer service. Save your money and sign up to blush box.
