February 2016 Covet Crate “Girl Boss”

I am already so impressed with Covet Crate’s flawless curation of their very first box, which launched last month. (See my January review HERE.) This proved to be a subscription box I wanted more of in my life and could not wait to see what February brought!

Theme:  Love Yourself. Treat Yourself.

Girl Boss Box – $44.95
A girl boss has a fresh perspective on her industry. She takes her career seriously without being too serious. Fun colors and cute patterns inspire her to grow and succeed in her career.

Lady Boss Box – $84.95
A lady boss has experience in her industry. She is at the top of her game and is looked up to by her peers. Neutrals and bold, monochromatic colors make her feel in control of life and work.

Just like last month, the contents were wrapped in black tissue tied with a black satin ribbon.

First peek into the box!

This month’s high-gloss magazine is significantly smaller than last month’s, which helps with portability! I can easily tuck this in my purse for reading at lunch break! February’s featured “woman who changed the world” is Betty Goldstein Friedan.

Covet Crate’s magazine is gorgeous and features full-length articles, inspirational messages, and detailed information about the featured products and the companies who made them.

Covet Crate featured a full-page spread all about Betty Goldstein Friedan’s life. I love reading about inspirational women in history. This is a great inclusion in each month’s magazine!

You can see the quality and detail on each page in the magazine.

The 52 Lists Project by Moorea Seal – Value:  $12.13

 This is a beautiful inspirational journal where you are guided to jot down your thoughts, memories, and future goals to stay inspired and motivated!

This whole journal is stunning and extremely motivating. I am looking forward to writing in this!

Sessa Vee “Hello” Calling Cards (25 count) – Value:  $4.00

These are really chic black & white calling cards that are blank on the back for jotting down a quick appointment reminder, phone number, or even to give someone a note of encouragement. I love the concept of calling cards and I want to incorporate them into my life!

Sessa Vee Slim Black & Gold Pen Fine Point .5mm – Value:  $3.75

This is a really great gel pen. It has a rubber-coated triangular grip and is slim and lightweight.

It writes smoothly with an even ink distribution across the page. I am slightly obsessed with pens and have a continuously growing collection to choose from. I love the gold accents and prefer writing with fine point pens, so this is very quickly becoming my new “go-to” pen!

American Crafts Designer Desktop Essentials Paper Clips – Value:  $3.28

 I adore these jumbo heart clips. They are perfect to keep notes and sticker sheets easily accessible in my planner. I am loving the gold touches in this month’s box!

B+A Gallery Girl Boss Mug – Value:  $16.99

Wee! This was the February spoiler item and it’s even lovelier in person! The metallic gold digital handwriting is written on both sides of the mug so you can flaunt your girl boss status no matter which hand is holding your cup. Despite my small amount of shelf space, I can never have too many coffee mugs in my life. 😉

B+A Gallery Pink/Blush To-Do Notepad – Value:  $12.99

To-Do lists are the only way I am able to stay remotely organized and they have become a way of life for me. I want about a dozen of these B+A Gallery notepads to leave everywhere I go!

This is probably the cutest notepad I own right now.

Ticket Chocolate Hot Chocolate Stick with Conversation Heart – Value:  $5.00

Oh my yum. I’m trying very hard to hide this from Little G. After reading the following description from the Covet magazine, I have extremely high expectations for this hot chocolate and my mouth will not stop salivating…

World-class Belgian chocolate begins with impossible creaminess and finishes with a whisper of toffee. 32% cacao. Swirl this block of our finest Belgian couverture into steaming milk and you’ll have a cup of hot chocolate worth lingering over. Every hot chocolate Ticket Stick is handmade in our San Francisco chocolate kitchen of finest couverture chocolate.

The Paris Print Shop Pink Paris In Color Postcards (9 count) – Value:  $8.00

This is the second teaser released for February and I am surprised at just how much I love them! These postcards are handmade in New York and printed on 14pt heavy matte acid free paper. I want to keep them all!

The Paris Color Project celebrates the city’s intimate details, often overshadowed by iconic landmarks. The photographs offer candid glimpses of the thoughtful craftsmanship, pedestrian pleasures and gracefully worn textures that cumulatively capture the unmistakable charm of Paris.

Womeneur Business Advice Session Gift Certificate – Value:  $21.00

I am actually really looking forward to using this gift certificate. Womeneur was founded by Sharon Beason, who dubs herself as a serial entrepreneur. Sharon personally handles all business advice sessions, helping with business development, strategy, encouragement and guidance. Our gift certificate phone consultation is limited to 15 minutes, which is not a lot of time, but I am going to use my precious time to ask about social media strategies for our blog. I can’t wait!

Parrott Design Studio Sweet Wishes Foil Card – Value:  $5.00

I love receiving blank cards in subscription boxes. I am always using them to include with our giveaway prizes and of course to send to friends and family for special occasions! This is a particularly pretty card printed on blush pink paper and accented with rose gold foiling!

Whimsy & Spice Espresso Dulce de Leche Brownie – Value:  $2.13

This looks absolutely decadent, albiet small (measuring 2″ x 2″). Jonathan was craving a piece of cake one night randomly, so I offered him my brownie. This officially makes me the best wife ever. I love receiving two yummy treats in the box this month! Valentine’s Day rocks!

My Thoughts

February 2016 Covet Crate “Girl Boss” Total Value:   $94.27

 I am impressed with my February Girl Boss box and am looking forward to using absolutely everything in here! I am so excited about the Womeneur phone consult and hope I can gain some insight in how we can improve our social media presence! Everything included in this month’s box is beautiful, girly, and super functional. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite subscription boxes I receive! There’s no wonder the March subscription is already sold out!
