If I ask you to go bananas this summer, you will snap back at me saying, ‘Hey! The heat is already killing us. Why go bananas?’ Well, that’s true, but I have some fantastic goodies that come at my doorstep to make me feel good, pamper me the most and scare away the heat of this scorching summer. Subscription boxes!! Yes, you heard me right. Today, we are going to talk all about the subscription boxes that you can try anytime, but especially in this summer. I have handpicked 10 best subscription boxes for this article, which I love the most.

Love, hygiene, happiness, relaxation, gorgeous skin, happy tummy and what not! Subscription boxes are not just limited to magazines or articles now, it has gone beyond and further. June is the month when you see the last bit of summer’s scorching heat peeling away the energy and the happiness of your skin and your soul. You do not feel to engage in most of the activities that you otherwise love, like shopping for makeup, clothes, etc. Subscription boxes, not only make life simpler but a lot happier. Packed as a bundle of joy, they are a treat in this summer and beauty to unbox.

So, let’s not waste more time and dive into the ’10 best subscription boxes’ that make life easier and happier this summer. It’s splurge time and let’s go bananas!

2) The Shades of Spring

The lilacs touched my eyes,

kissing me by their purples;

and the yellows brighten my day,

with the pop reddish orange

infusing the fervour of new energy

and positivity inside me.

Just in the morning when these arrive,

filling my world with the fragrance of

happiness, joy and love!’

5) Fab Bag

‘The best of beauty in a monthly bag.’

The bag claims this and believes me they do deliver the message very clearly. They are a team of beauty experts who curate and pack three or more products of the associated brands like Wella, Victoria’s secret, Remy Laure, The Body Shop, etc. Working women today do not have time to take care of their skin, hair and makeup all the time. But they do need the extra care to keep themselves looking gorgeous and healthy. The hand curated products by Fab Bag comes in handy. They work hard to send the beautiful and working women of our country a delightful bag, delivered at their doorstep every month. Their subscriptions come at a very affordable price of INR 599 per month, and it gets better and sweeter if you go for a three month or a six-month subscription. I would advise you to try out for a month and then go for the longer subscriptions. Trust me; you won’t regret it! This summer don’t look patchy and tired, look radiant and gorgeous all the time. Beat the heat with the upbeat fashion heat! Check them at Instagram @thefabbag

6) BeingJuliet

‘For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.’

Said by the great Shakespeare, relates so much with the modern day Juliet also. Not just the pains of love and heartbreaks, but the PMS and menstrual cramps suck the life out of the beautiful Juliets for those painful five days of a month. How many times have we all heard this sentence, that has become a phrase now, ‘Oh! Never mind my anger; it is my mood, Steve. Because it is that time of the month.’ Why make that time of the month sound like a burden or an inevitable phase? Why not just be ourselves even then! No pain, no cribbing and no mood swings. Well, here comes a box that delivers essentials and goodies for your that time of the month and makes you feel relaxed and happy. Say bye to the irregular mood swings and frequent pains.
