I decided to join right away!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first box I got was Spring 2013.

It was one of my first subscription boxes. I was introduced to Balanced Guru Hair Oil and remained a faithful customer of theirs for years. A close second is Happy Wax. Happy Wax has delighted my son and I for a few years now. We have acquired quite a collection of Happy Wax melts and still spend time together everyday deciding on that day\u2019s scent. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve been Annual through three different emails.

I\u2019ve taken a few fiscal breaks but a loyal member since, most of the time, I can indulge. I can\u2019t possibly pick a favorite product but my favorite part of the sub is the Community. I\u2019ve cried with, hugged tight, flipped upside down, and drove many miles with these amazing ladies. My mom and daughter are now part of the Community too. Thank you FFF for an amazing experience and I look forward to many more in the future. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And just for fun\u2026 my littles came across this coloring book from 2016 and have claimed it and been finally putting it to good use.

Was seasonal for a bit before going Annual. I do think the boxes have gotten better and I like we have choices. Here\u2019s a photo I took of my first box. I was so excited &#8211; Miko2a<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I joined in 2016 with the Spring Welcome Box! I had been seeing ads on Facebook and I was interested but I didn\u2019t want to spend the money on just me. They had a special deal and I went for it. I became an Annual soon after and have never looked back. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before FFF, I did not really take care of myself. My skin, hair, my FEET. FFF has changed much of that for me. I\u2019ve discovered wonderful products like foot masks, restoring shampoo, deep moisture hair masks\u2026 bougie lips, divinely scented and soft skin. Fun accessories and fancy sunglasses! I LOVE my subscription!!! &#8211; agjbtimmler<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My FabFitFun addiction began in November 2016. I was gifted an Annual Membership for my birthday by my sweet hubby. I quickly fell in love with the subscription because I loved feeling spoiled. The forum has been an extra bonus experience, and it feels great to make friends with other ladies who share something in common. I have many favorite products from over the years but if I must choose one, the Winter Box below would be my favorite. I\u2019m a total homebody that loves all things warm and cozy and this box was just perfection. I loved the UnHide blanket, the Summer and Rose Robe, the Muk Luks socks, and the Lilly Pulitzer mugs. FabFitFun has continued to bring outstanding brands at great prices, best subscription around! &#8211; Jessiica<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a02017<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Spring 2017 box was my first one! I loved how the products were set but there were different color ways you could receive, and was ecstatic when I got the tie dye roundie I was hoping for! The hair skin and nail gummies were an amazing bonus to try, and I remember collecting the Milly Zip Pouches (I did the same with the ice packs from the Fall Box of that year!). <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2017 boxes were by far my favorites, and I still have and use so many of those products!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MYTAGALONGS hot\/cold packs are in my freezer now!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Michael Stars Ruana is probably my second most used, and I loved it so much I needed it in two colors!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Briogeo Rosarco Milk<br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tie Dye Roundie (in my trunk, ready to go!)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MERSEA wraps were such exceptional quality that I collected all of them (and they\u2019re stored in my gym and juice bag right now )<br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Milly Zip pouches<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I truly loved the thoughtful curation and mix of lifestyle items!

The reversible BB Dakota Poncho is a seasonal favorite of mine and that\u2019s when I fell in love with the AHAVA lotion.\u00a0 <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is always something I love in each box since, the Mark &amp; Graham colorblock blanket and the UnHide blankets..the amazing brands of skincare \ud83d\udc9b\u2026one of the best things about FFF is the Community. \u2764\ufe0f I can\u2019t go a day without it, plus the beautiful amazing ladies I have come to adore. &#8211; gina318<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I joined in between Fall and Winter 2017 after trying a Starter Box. My first full-sized box (Winter 2017) had my all time favorite product &#8211; the ExfoliKate.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My most memorable time with FFF was winning a contest when they reached 1M members. I was flown out to LA and go to visit HQ and meet so many of the FFF team including Katie, Michael, and Jamie S and attend their Annual Christmas party. It was such an amazing, whirlwind weekend and just the best memory.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I first joined FFF, I was in a really low place. Finding this sub really helped me remember the things I\u2019ve always loved and invest in myself in a way I had not done since I had kids. I did take a break at the beginning of 2020 and rejoined that next summer. And I\u2019m so happy to be here! &#8211; this beautyfulllife<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" class=\"wp-image-177661 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/04154108\/Screenshot_20221107-184659_Instagram-e1680648889751.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"361\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was trying many subscription boxes which I love to try and with FFF I have been on and off for years.

I had never really even washed my face, let alone use serums and moisturizers and eye cream! <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My favorite moments have been making friends here in the Community (and hanging out with them in real life), and honestly getting a box that I\u2019m super excited for!

That Tarte eyeshadow palette is still my favorite to this day and I love that mug! <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I joined a few months after losing my dad to cancer. It was a heartbreaking experience and it completely changed my life. It put into perspective how short life is and I wanted to live mine to the best of my ability. I wanted to take better care of myself in better ways and when I came across FabFitFun it felt like the right fit. It helped me create a self care routine and introduced me to a wonderful community of women that really helped bring some gratitude and happiness back in my life. My favorite experience has been how much more this subscription has been for me than just items in a box. I\u2019ve really enjoyed going to meet-ups, the Summer House event in LA, and countless zoom chats with people from this community that I\u2019m lucky to call friends now. &#8211; ItsmeVee<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" class=\"wp-image-177656 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/04153915\/image-21-e1680649199268.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"579\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I joined in Spring 2019 as a Seasonal then decided to upgrade to Annual in Spring 2020. I love FFF and made me so happy and excited for my box every time! Winter is my last box and if Spring Box looks amazing, I may renew my subscription. FFF you got me hooked on Murad, Tula, and Wander Beauty. Those are my go-to brands. I joined the Community Forum about a month after I joined. Love everyone on here and it was such a fun forum!!! Not long after, I discovered the Edit Sale and I was skeptical at first and then I loved shopping on here! \ud83d\ude02 &#8211; kparis8706<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2020<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I joined in spring of 2020. It had been a couple weeks into Covid lockdown. I was laid off, everything was closed, the future was unknown. I saw an influencer do an unboxing video and decided it looked fun and would give me something to look forward to. When that box came in the mail it was packaged beautifully. Opening it up was like opening an elaborate gift, it felt special. I loved it so much. &#8211; JessicaVC<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Covid just shut down the country and I was stuck at home with my 11yo, 6yo and 6 month old. My husband was essential so was still working. I was having a hard time mentally and my husband told me to look into getting something that was JUST FOR ME. I found FFF, signed up, and to this day have loved every minute! I still use my copper plated brush from my first box! My favorite product that I was able to discover is several to be honest but my favorite use every single day are Spongelle, TULA, Murad and I have FabFitFun to thank for my UnHide addiction\u2026.(I have 19\u2026) <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any issue I have ever encountered has been taken care of by the awesome customer service support.

A friend told me about the fabulous subscription box that incorporated lifestyle products with beauty items. All the subscriptions I\u2019d seen before were strictly beauty, but hearing that there was a box that went beyond that really appealed to my need for more varied, self-care bundles. I worked hard balancing work and family, and I wanted something just for me. I wanted a way to reward and appreciate myself on a regular basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My first customization was exciting and still is every season! By the end of the year I was a full, Annual Member shopping all the sales too. But, the thing that really made a difference in my life this year was joining the FabFitFun Community. There are so many wonderful people in this Community to share knowledge and ideas with, celebrate the good things in life, and support each other through the hard times. I had no idea what I was missing!
