10 Awesome Subscription Boxes (With Discount Codes!!)


I don't think I knew subscription boxes were a thing until I got Instagram BUT NOW I AM OBSESSED. I've been following a bunch of the accounts on Instagram because maybe I just like looking at the photos?? And torturing myself cause I'm never going to actually buy them?? Yeah, I'm cheap, but I'm also 14 it makes sense ok. If you don't know what a subscription box is, by the way, it's basically where you get a box each month and there are a bunch of different kinds and you don't know what you're getting so it's like fun little surprises. In this post, I thought it would be fun to show y'all some of my fave subscription boxes I have been loving! I have also done the research of finding all of the discount codes for y'all so you can get the best cost possible.

*some links/codes are affiliate links/codes which means I will get a small commission if you use the link/code with no extra cost to you 

Get Social - code: "social10" for 10% off

This box is all about trends and fashion and beauty! Each box has 4-5 products and it just generally seems super cute.


Clarity - code: NABILA20 for 20% off

I find this box quite cool!! It's all about self-care and self-love which I, of course, am allllll about.



I recently got there January mini box and y'all it is the cutest thing!!!! My paper box is a personalized stationary subscription box which basically means they send you adorable stationary with your name on it. I never have anything with my name on it because it's so uncommon so this made me so so happy!


Owlcrate - code "Fury" for 10% off

 You can't have a post about subscription boxes without owlcrate! It is pretty much the book subscription as far as I can tell! They send you a new book and a bunch of cute bookish goodies every month! 

*both the photo and code are by the amazing blogger over at Paper Fury!




Boti Box

I actually won one of there boxes from a giveaway! This box stands for Beauty On the Inside and It's mainly for tween girls. I'm a teen though and I still thought it was adorable. There were a couple little jewelry pieces and the packaging and everything was just the cutest.


Kawaii Box

When I saw this box and the website and everything I might have internally exploded. Think of the cutest thing you have ever seen. And then double it. That is is this box. There are squishes and plushies and a bunch of other cute things all from Japan. The shipping is free and they send your first box immediately. :)


Tokyo Treat - Use link for $5 off

Just thinking about this box makes me hungry! This is another Japanese themed box but this time it's for food! There are a bunch of fun snacks and drinks and DIY things and of course, they're all super interesting. If you love snacking and have been wanting to try something new this is the box for you. :)


nomakenolife - Use link for $5 off

If you already love Japanese and Korean skin (those face masks are great I know from experience) and makeup products then this is perfect for you! This box comes with 8-9 makeup, skincare, bath and body, hair care, and other tools and accessories each month. Plus shipping is free. :)


Yume Twins - Use link for $5 off

This is another Kawaii box because well I couldn't help myself AND EVERYTHING KAWAII IS SO FREAKING CUTE. In this box, you get 6-8 goodies from Japan each month! These could include plushies, stationary, bags, pouches, accessories, toys, and more.



The last few have been Japanese so to break that for this last one I'm going to tell you about Penny + Grace! It's actually a beauty subscription! Each month they deliver 3 coordinating pieces tailored specifically to the colors and everything that you say you like! How cool is that?? 


That post was really fun to make and research for (yes yes mostly cause I got to look at a bunch of cute photos but be quiet, no one has to know) so if y'all like this and want me to make another one tell meeeeeeee. Also, do you guys subscribe to any boxes? What are some of your fave you've come across? I want to know, comment down below!

5 Things I'm Loving Right Now


I thought I did a post exactly like this may be a year ago but I can't find it so I'm not sure. But I've been finding a bunch of fun new brands and other things lately so I thought it would be perfect to share them with you in a collection type post!

*this post is sponsored but all opinions are my own

Chockers

I have always loved chockers ever since they have become a thing but I've been super into them lately! I've been wearing one pretty much every day. My sister got me this set of black ones for Christmas and they're all super cute!! My grandmother also got me this really pretty gold colored one and also one with a little stone in the middle which are both super elegant looking but also cute.

          
Scrunchies 

The wonderful girlies over at Rire Handmade sent these to me and I love them so much!! They are absolutely adorable, work so well with my hair, and just make me so happy when I wear them. Fun fact Rire means 'to laugh' in French which I think is so fun!! Side note I found that on their website I know zero french haha. If you want you can use my code "Nabila15" for 15% off. 


Hair Vitamin 

I recently got this cool hair vitamin thing from Ultra6 Nutrition and it's quite cool! It's supposed to make your hair grow faster, healthier and shinier. Plus you can use it for both oral and topical use which means you can both swallow it and put it on your hair. I hate pills so I love that it's liquid. Besides hair though you can also use it on things like your nails to make them stronger which I find so fun! 


Writing Letters

I recently decided that I was just going to go to The Dollar Store and buy a bunch of cards and stickers and send them to random peeps on Instagram. Not exactly sure why but I've been loving it! I'm thinking of doing a fun little letter giveaway or something in the future so stay tuned. :)


Lipsense

Riana from SeneGence sent these to me and they're super cool! She sent me a Praline Rose Lipsense, a gloss, and a remover. I had never tried a Lipsense before or even knew what it was but apparently, it's a type of lip color/lipstick that stays on a long time! The gloss doesn't last that long but the actual color definitely does! 


What's something you've been using/doing a lot recently? Have you tried any of these things?

3 Movies In Theaters Right Now That Are Very Much Worth Watching + 3 Mini Reviews!



Hey peoples! Whats up with you guys? Awesomeness? Not so awesomeness? If so tomorrow is a new day. Make the most of it. Soooooooooo I am in a very good mood because I just went to see the new spider man movie and I liked it. Like a lot. But then I also like every other movie I watch pretty much so I don’t think that means much. But it was good! I also realized interestingly that I have actually seen now 3 of the movies in theaters right now. Like thats insane. At least for me. Like that never happens. And since I liked all of these movies I thought I would take advantage of it and make this post. In this post I will list 3 movies in theaters right now that are very much worth watching and some spoil free movie reviews so that you can get the general gist of what they are about. Lets get started!


My aunt and uncle took me and my sisters to see this movie which I didn’t think would actually happen but I have awesome aunts (and uncles) so it was bound to happen. 

-It was kind of hilarious.
-All of the songs! They were all like 80’s themed and even though I know basically nothing about the 80’s it still made me happy.
-The villain was very much amazing. It is like a kid actor gone crazy (does that remind you of anyone?) but it was again 80’s themed and he stole stuff with gum and it was cool.
-There were spies (or spy type people) and I love everything with spies. Like I literally played with all of my friends the head leader of a special spy network when I was younger. 
-Some of the lines were actually really smart which is weird in a kids movie but still cool.
-There was a unicorn goat and an adorable little kid with the unicorn goat. Aka enough cuteness to pretty much make you explode. 


-Some of the jokes (like the other movies) were very body oriented (like about your body) which I know like young boys would find funny but I very much don’t. 
-The girls ages haven’t changed at all in these 3 movies. It is like kind of creepy. Only slightly.
-Overall its just kind of less good then the others but I would say it is still worth watching. 


As I said, I saw it today. My wonderful grandmother took me and my sisters to go see it because my grandmother is awesome. 


-At the beginning I was confused because I had watched the last movie so long ago and I didn’t remember it much but they cleared everything up and I loved the way they did it and made almost everything less confusing. 
-Stark was amazing and sarcastic as always and I felt like he was actually trying to be kind and also he said something about bloggers. True this thing was not the most kind thing but it was still something. 
-There were Captain America videos used in the schools and I thought it was funny because first he is like a criminal now (or maybe not I’m not sure) but also cool because he is like the poster person for being good.
-Some parts of the movie just made me smile. Like actually smile. Which is cool. I won’t tell you what because I am trying to make this spoil free but like watch out if you are emotional.
-I am not sure if this is a pro or a con but there were multiple places it could have ended but the ended it had was better. 
-Zendaya. Enough said. 
-He was only 15 in this movie which is a lot younger then all of the other movies so it made it more reliable I guess


-The timeline makes no since! Like at all. If the other one was in 2016, 8 years later (when the movie is supposed to take place) would be 2020 which doesn’t work age wise and because the next avengers would be before that. The marvel timeline is confusing! 
-There were two end credit scenes which I didn’t realize so I missed the last one. Aren’t there usually only one end credit scene? Like seriously. If you do end up going to watch it don’t get up until you see two end credit scenes (the scenes after the credits).
-Some things were not appropriate (language wise) which I get but these things could have been changed easily to make it better for people younger. I’m just saying. This is true for a lot of movies.
  



I saw this movie a little while ago and if you are a dedicated reader and read most of my posts you might have come across this one where I basicly freak out about the movie and do a full blown review so you can go here if you want to check that post out.  
-Everything. Haha no but seriously.
-It was a kick butt feminist movie about girl power which is usually awesome.
-The camera work was amazing.
-It was like super emotional.
-I was surprised to learn who the villain was which doesn’t happen much.
-Oh and you know I wrote a whole review on it which I liked so there is that.


-There was lots of love stuff which annoyed me. Also like kissing and stuff like which took away from the feminist thing which is not cool. 
-There was so many things that were not realistic at all. Like at all.


Hi! So how was that? Did you like it? Maybe? Like how I listed pros and cons? I like writing reviews like that. Should I do more mini reviews? Should I do more reviews in generals? Have you watched any of the movies on this list? Do you want to watch any of the movies on this list? What is your favorite movie on this list? If you have seen any of these movies what was your favorite thing about it? Do you like movies? Like at all? What movie coming out soon are you excited about? What is your favorite movie of all time?

I GOT TO SEE THE NEW WONDER WOMEN MOVIE AND IT WAS AWESOME! // Movie Review



I had an amazing day Saturday. In the morning I hung out with some people from church (I will do a post on my trip thing later), then I went home and saw my parents, then I was surprised and we went to go see wonder women, then we went out to eat, then we saw a live beetles cover band play all of the Sergeant Pepper album. We were celebrating my dad's awesomeness and I had a lot of fun. Today though I am going to be talking about the wonder women movie that I got to go see (spoiler alert I loved it).

If you didn't know then congrats to you but semi-recently the new wonder women movie was released in theaters. I was just excited about the thought. I don't know much about the wonder women story but from the previews, it looked awesome. Then though it started getting amazing reviews and everyone loved it. Like more than the last movie, I saw in theaters which I also loved. This made the movie even cooler in my mind. It looked amazingly cool but I didn't think I would be able to see it because I don't get the privilege to see many movies in theaters (I mean I am super lucky just to be able to but I haven't even seen Moana yet if that says something).  My dad mentioned that he wanted to see it for fathers day and his birthday. It made me happy but I still didn't really think I would be able to see it. BUT THEN I CAME HOME AFTER A WEEK AWAY AND WE IMMEDITALLY WENT TO GO SEE IT. Because my family is just awesome like that. So I decided to do a little review post. Here it is!!

-Wonder women, in general, is just an awesome character. Her story and everything is cool to be and I think they portrayed it really well in the movie.

-Gal Godot is really pretty. It's true ok. She is a really pretty actor.

-The acting was really good. The emotion seemed real and stuff like that. 

-This isn't really something awesome about the movie but my dad said it was one of the best comic book movies ever made and he has amazing taste and he read comic books as a kid so he knows when something is good or not. 

-Wonder women is majestic when she fights and also just when she talks and everything else. Like a normal human being can't be that majestic while punching something in the face. 

-It's not as big as some of the other superhero movies. You might have noticed but with some of the other superhero movies like the Avengers they have to save the world or else it will explode and everything in it and at times the plot can get just the tiniest bit confusing. Although in this movie she is still saving the world it is more confined to one problem. Kind of. Did that make sense?  

-It pointed out the whole white people stole America from the Native Americans thing. No one ever talks about it but it is so true.  Pretty much British peeps and other people from Europe came over to what is now the US and they kicked the Native Americans/killed them/made them live on small plots of land probably in Oklahoma. It was not kind. At all. 

-In that time and still now pretty much many women weren't really seen as strong and so everyone at first thought very lowly of Diana but then she totally kicked the bad guy's butt and the men had to admit how awesome she was. 

-The camera work was done really well. Especially in the fight scenes. Sometimes it is all over the place which can get confusing but in this movie, it really wasn't. 

-It is a very emotional movie. It makes you feel stuff which I personally like and admire. 

-Pretty much everything else. Haha. No, but seriously. 

-The whole love thing kind of annoyed me. The romance thing was fine but at the end wonder women says that love is the most important thing and all that which is slightly true but it would have been so much better if she stood for something like fairness. Not love.Whatw ould have been cooler is if Steve (the pilot who she found) like flirted with her but she was strong and mighty and resisted and there could have been some cool funny moments as well. 

-There is no way they could have gotten from the island to London that fast. They don't even know where they are and they are in a small sailboat that no one knows how to use. But somehow magically they get to london in one day. I am not sure is that is even possible today on a boat even when you know where you are. 

-A bunch of other stuff wasn't that realistic either. For example how they got to the front lines so easily. That's not usually possible. Or how she got her outfit which was very much American themed even though she had never even been to the US. Just saying.


I am so bad at doing review posts. Like I just am. I kind of like this format of reviews though. I might do more in the future. Possibly. Should I do more review posts in the future? Have you seen wonder women yet? If so what did you think of it? If not do you want to see it? Do you like superhero movies? What is your favorite superhero movie? Do you like my semi-new blog design?

4 Nail Polishes I am Loving This Spring + Plus A Little Review Of Some Of The BlackHeart Beauty Nail Polishes



Since I haven't painted my nails in like two million years I got out my nail polish today and did my nails. When my nails were drying I was thinking of how I could make a post out of this. Then I remembered a post I did awhile ago that I titled "4 Nail Polish Colors I am Absolutely Loving This Spring".  I personally loved making that post and so I have decided to do another one. This time though all 4 nail polishes are from the same brand/company/line thing called BlackHeart Beauty. No this post isn't sponsored by them (though I wish it was) I just seriously like the nail polish. Let's get started!

First all of these nail polishes are less colors and are more what you would put on top of a color. 



Fuchsia Multi Chunky Glitter 

This is really fun and just reminds me of some kind of party. It's pink and blue and yellow and different shapes and just awesomeness. 


Blue and Black Splatter 

This is definitely my favorite one out of this list. It is this light blue color with black which is one of my favroite color pairings and on nails it makes this honeycomb effect. It's like a futuristic computer galaxy or something. 


Green Simmer
 The color is a mix between a yellow and a green. Like a yeen? I don't know. It's cute though if you are going for a simple but kind of sparkly greenish color. 


Black and White Confetti 

First so sorry for the blurry picture! Second though this seriously looks like confetti. Like no lie. 


Oh look. It's my hand. As I said above I was doing my nails and so I decided to go with the blue and black color with a silver thumb.


Also can we take a moment to admire how awesome these nail polishes look. I mean it is in the shape of a skull. How could that get any better? I mean most Nail Polishes are boring and plain but not these. 



I wanted this post to be super professional but it didn't really work. Lol. Comment down below if I should do an actual review and which nail polish color was your favorite. :)
