The New FabFitFun Box Is Here—and It’s the Pick-Me-Up We Needed

Taking care of ourselves right now seems like a no-brainer, right? Pop on a sheet mask during your lunch break. Watch episodes of Outer Banks over and over because every character is hot. Wear your comfiest sweatpants. It sounds so easy, but I’ll be the first to admit it’s not that simple. 

To make self-care easier this month, I made a list of things of things that bring me joy when I feel the anxiety and stress coming on. The first things on that list were things that made me feel like myself again, that brought a sense of normalcy to my life when things feel the opposite of normal right now. Thankfully, my FabFitFun box was delivered right after that epiphany, and I realized it has pretty much everything I was looking for. FabFitFun is a seasonal subscription box with full-size beauty, fashion, fitness, and lifestyle products, and if you don’t know, I’ve been into it for quite a while now.

Want a know a little more? Here’s why I’ve fallen head over heels for the brand:

#1. FFF supports female-founded brands, first and foremost. Many of the brands included in my box are created or run by women, which I love. As an employee at a company founded by women (yay!), it’s amazing to see FFF want to promote small businesses and brands by women, especially during this time at home. 

#2. Each FFF box is in support of a non-profit organization. This really hits home for me, and it feels especially important right now when organizations are being hit very hard. The summer box is in support of Special Olympics—an organization that works with children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to promote sports and athleticism. They work with over five million athletes in 190 countries to build confidence and community, promote teamwork, and have fun! Special Olympics has been affected by COVID-19, like many organizations, and they’re currently helping their athletes stay active and involved at home while their events are postponed. As much as I love the products in my FFF box (more on that later), I feel pretty good knowing they’re supporting an organization close to my heart like Special Olympics. 

#3. The box is totally customizable. There are tons of options to choose from every season, so you can get exactly what you want and not products you wouldn’t use, making the value even better.

#4. As a subscriber, you get access to FabFitFunTV. Even though we don’t have access to gyms and restaurants right now, we can still spend our time at home learning from the pros! FabFitFunTV has hundreds of free videos for subscribers on workouts—from yoga and pilates to dance cardio and HIIT—cooking, meditation, lifestyle, beauty, and more. Bonus: there’s even a “Cooking With the Housewives” section so you can learn classic recipes from your favorite housewives (Dorinda, Ramona, and Sonja included!). 

#5. The box is always valued over $200—talk about a deal! I’m paying close attention to where my money is going right now, so this value feels extra special. I know I’m getting my money’s worth. Generally, one product alone pays for the price of the box, and the rest are my little extras. Want it even better? Use our code for a little extra off!

Draper James

Straw Bag With Floral Scarf

This adorable straw bag will fit all of your beach/pool/backyard essentials, but you can also use it as a purse! Plus, the scarf can stay on the bag, or you can remove it and use it as a hair scarf!

Business & Pleasure Co.

Cooler Bag

I am the most excited about this item, hands down. I looked everywhere for a cooler bag last summer, and I couldn’t find anything in the realm of what I wanted for the price I wanted to pay. Enter FFF, because this item alone is worth more than the box even costs! Not to mention, this cooler bag is actually cute AF.

Satin Pillow Sleeve

Sleeping on satin isn’t just bougie; it’s amazing for your hair and skin because it doesn’t tug, pull, or crease. It’s also so comfortable and smooth to sleep on. You’ll be excited to get into bed with this!

The Lifestyle Co.

Beach Mist

Refresh your skin, set makeup, and cool down with this face mist, filled with aloe, mint, and lavender. It smells like summer, and the mister feels so good on hot days outside!

Oil Original Roll-On Perfume

If self-isolation (and that switch to natural deodorant) has made you smelling not as pleasant as usual, this item will be your savior. It’s not too overpowering, but the scent is definitely there—I would call it “sophisticated floral.”

Cali Cosmetics

Foot Cream With Menthol in Tarocco

My mom was beyond excited to see this in the box, so I got tons of goodies for myself and a Mother’s Day present too! 😂 I love FFF because I can always find products I’ll love but also products that work as gifts. This foot cream has menthol and olive oil to refresh and hydrate your feet, so you can do the perfect pedicure at home.

Essential-C Cleanser

I was really excited when I saw this in the box because I’ve actually been needing a new cleanser to use in the morning and I can always trust Murad as a brand (we’ve gotten other stuff from them in our boxes before, and they’re always good!). This is basically the adult version of those “wake up” cleansers we all used in middle school (except without the harmful microbeads, of course).

Other Options Available:

Michael Kors

Bedford Travel Passport Wallet

We WILL travel again eventually, and this passport wallet will help you do and stay organized. This can hold your passport, any cards, and your boarding pass.

Brooklyn Bombshell Blowout Spray

Amika has blown me away recently with their hair products. They’re innovative and unique, and they just work! This blowout spray has a lightweight feel that’s perfect for summer.

Isaac Mizrahi Loves xo, Sienna

Blush-Dipped Vase

If you’re like any of us, you’ve been rethinking your home decor every other morning because it’s all you look at all day long. Add your favorite fake florals (or maybe some real ones if you’re ~fancy~), and you’ll get at least one small change at home. OK, now let’s talk a new sofa.

Wander Beauty

Baggage Claim Gold Eye Mask

We’ve gotten these in a FFF box before, and I am eternally grateful to have tried them as well as absurdly jealous of anyone who gets these in their summer box. These are my favorite eye patches I’ve ever tried. They stay down really well, look really cute in selfies, and actually make my under eyes feel awake and de-puffed. I vividly remember using these for a date a few months ago and thinking, “OMG, I love FabFitFun for showing me these.”

Ice Roller

One of my favorite bloggers talks about using an ice roller when she’s hungover, and I’ve been hooked ever since. This one is compact and perfect for self-care Sundays.

Kate Somerville

Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream

This moisturizer is chock-full of hydrating ingredients that will plump up your skin. Lactose from goat’s milk, jojoba, and avocado work together to give your skin a healthy glow, without getting greasy.

Sydney Sunglasses

Who doesn’t love a new pair of sunnies?! These have a trendy cat-eye shape, but the black color makes sure they go with every outfit you whip up (including the loungewear you’re wearing on your daily walk).

Prep Rally Prime + Prep Detangler

Another product I’ve tried and love thanks to FFF! I was hesitant to try this at first (haven’t had good luck with other products from Drybar), but this is now a staple in my haircare routine. It smooths and detangles my fine, thin hair so well, and I notice when I don’t use it before a blow dry that my hair doesn’t look as healthy. This has made me want to try lots more from Drybar!

The Giving Keys

Mini Key Necklace

Our team is a huge fan of The Giving Keys which employs people experiencing homelessness and helps them transition out of it. This key says “believe,” and I think we could all use a little bit of that during this time!

Tie-Dye Towel

Whether you’re using this as a regular beach towel or just a cute blanket to lay on, the tie-dye will match all the tie-dying you’ve done lately and look super cute at the pool (or just in your backyard).

Wireless Charging Pad

Keep this wireless charging pad on your desk to make charging your phone a breeze. (Does anyone else wait until their phone is on 1 percent to charge it? Can’t just be me!)
