Diapers always magically appeared on our door step thanks to Amazon Family. (We also saved 20% on those diapers and wipes! And vitamins! And more!) Prime continues to be good to us. We never pay for shipping, gifting is super easy, and we store all our pictures in the cloud there, too.
We use most of what Amazon Prime has to offer, including Prime Music, but every now and then we come across an album or song that isn't included. Most recently it was the soundtrack to the My Little Pony Movie - Friendship is Magic. Our daughter asks for it every time we're in the car...if you have a kid then you've been there. You know.
So Andrew sprang for the 30-day free trial of Amazon Music Unlimited, which gives us access to ALL of the music Amazon has its fingers on. (Including that soundtrack! Yay!) Plus we also get to enjoy these benefits:
We can holler at Alexa (great for driving!) through the Amazon Music app for hand-free music selection.
Songs can be downloaded onto our phones.
Songs can be played in offline mode so we don't drain our data when we're away from WiFi.
I haven't yet come up with a song that I couldn't find in that library.
Here's what we have to say about the free trial so far, and whether we plan to actually pay for it! Pardon the giggles and the extra appendages...our daughter wanted to join the fun.
The Pop Sugar Must Have box is a monthly lifestyle box with fun, useful items with a hint of luxe. Subscriptions start at $39.95 per month, and new subscribers can get $5 off their first month with coupon MUSTHAVE5 Here's what's inside this months's box:
I was amazed at all that was packed into this box! Each box comes with a fold out card with details on each item and their retail value. There's usually a website listed for each item, too.
There were seven total items in this month's box, with a total retail value of about $120.
This heavy-weight canvas bin from Pehr Designs is very sturdy, and I imagine it has a multitude of uses. I'm going to start off using it as a hamper. The gray pebble design has a universal feel and I imagine it would fit in with any decor. sugg. retail: $40
In this day and age of everything digital, it was refreshing to get to actual book-type things! On the left is Spark Joy, by Marie Kondo. It's the companion book to her best-selling The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I read her first book and found it to be wonderful, but too much of an undertaking. It seems that this second book offers a simpler approach, which I think will be a good fit for me. sugg. retail: $18.99
On the right is a gorgeous robin's egg blue day planner from Blue Sky. I admit I've gone the way of iCal for my daily reminders, but this is inspiring me to take it back to the ol' pen and paper. The nice thing is that it also has some pages for goal-planning, too. sugg. retail: $15.99
Front: Patchology masque trio. I love that you can use these masques in 5 minutes and you don't have to rinse them off! Do be aware that when you take them out of the pouch they're a bit drippy. Sugg Retail: $20.00 Left: ChapStick! This is listed as a "special extra" and is a full-size tube of their Total Hydration line. It's very smooth and perfect for this dry winter weather. Sugg. Retail: $2.99
Right: Project 7, Inc Summer Snow Sugar Free Gum. This gum is super fruity and tasty. What I love most is that proceeds from every 7th pack goes towards anti-bullying.
Back: Not Soap, Radio bath and shower gels. These are super fun, travel-sized, and have fun names that match different moods. I may be gifting these, because they contain artifical colorants that I try to stay away from, but they smell amazing and they don't contain any sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, which is something I look for in my bath products.
All in all I think this has a great value at about $120 and goes well with a new year/new you theme. As of this posting, the January box is still available. Get yours here. Disclaimer: this post may contain affiliate links.
