shopping – Looking on the Bright Side

Awhile back, I wrote out about my subscription to Causebox, and my love of subscription boxes. Today’s post is about my subscription to Rocksbox. This is the one that I love to tell people about the most. Every time someone compliments a piece of jewelry that I am wearing, I let them know, “It’s from Rocksbox!”

I have been a member of Rocksbox since 2016. Basically, it is a jewelry rental service. You pay a monthly fee and can exchange pieces for new jewelry as often as you like. Each box comes with three pieces of jewelry. You wear the pieces for as long as you like, and when you are ready to switch it up, just send them back and they will send you a new box!

They carry lots of fun jewelry designers, such as Kate Spade, Kendra Scott, Sophie Harper, and much more. They are always adding new pieces to their collection. Keep your wishlist on the website up to date, and you are sure to always get pieces that you love!

I joined because I wanted to build up my jewelry collection. It is fun to try out new pieces and purchase the ones that I love. The monthly fee is used as a credit on any purchases you make, so if you buy a piece each month, you are really getting a good deal. The pieces are already discounted, and you get more discounts the more pieces you buy from a box.

I love the variety of jewelry that I get to wear. Sometimes it is fun to wear a special piece for a few weeks, even if I don’t have the intention of purchasing it. I usually exchange my box once a month, so that I get a few weeks wear out of each set. I’ve bought many pieces over the three years that I have been a member, building up my jewelry collection, but it is also fun just trying out different pieces.

Here is a peek at my most recent box. I received a set of earrings, a necklace, and a set of stacking rings. Each box comes with a note from your stylist. Before your box is mailed out, you are given the opportunity to preview your box and switch out any pieces that you like. When I first joined the service, it was more of a surprise what would come in my box. Now that their collection is so large and I keep my wishlist up to date, I always get three items straight from my wishlist. This is nice, because I know that I will never get an item that I would never wear.

My family and I have just returned from an amazing trip to Montreal, so this will be the first in a series of posts about our travel! Our trip started and ended with lots of delays and travel issues. It took us three flights, a long day, and lost luggage both on the way there and the way back! Each trip was on different airlines. Despite all of our travel issues, we still had a great time in Canada. We went shopping for new clothes and made the best of it.

Montreal is a big city in Canada, so of course, we did a lot of walking. It was manageable though, and even my less adventurous husband and 5 year old survived. I did do some exploring on my own, when they felt like resting. The metro system is easy to navigate. Everyone in Montreal is bilingual, so even though you will almost always be greeted in French, everyone quickly switches to English when they realize you are American. I read French pretty well, but I’m not so great at speaking/understanding it.

Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal) is a great place to shop for souvenirs, art, clothing, etc. I collect Christmas ornaments from every place I travel, so of course I had to stop at Noel Eternel! A shop selling authentic Amerindian art and goods had this stuffed polar bear for sale! My daughter was excited to buy a Kinder Surprise egg at the drugstore.

The majority of our trip was spent walking around Vieux Montreal and Downtown. Our hotel was conveniently located right between the two. I’ve included a few pictures from around town below.
