October and November Pijon Boxes

Simply put, I love snail mail. I love it even more when I get packages in the mail, and that's one of the main reasons why I love the idea of subscription boxes. It's like getting a gift in the mail every month and what's not to love about that? I got a 4-month subscription to Pijon, which sends out monthly care packages geared towards college students. So far, I've definitely enjoyed the products they've sent me so I'm sharing the contents of the box from the past 2 months. They also contribute to an awesome charity so it's like a gift that keeps giving back. I highly recommend them to fellow college students or subscription box lovers!


In the October box, I received the following products:
  • Rooted Beauty Raspberry Citrus Invigorating Facial Wipes - I've actually heard about this company before, and I'm dying to try their lip butters. I haven't tried these face wipes yet, but I already love that they're earth-friendly and gentle for your skin.
  • Metropolis Lavender & Spearmint and Lime & Spearmint Lip Creams - I'm using the lavender one right now, and it's like a mini aromatherapy session when I apply it. They're so moisturizing, and the packaging is also beautiful.
  • Awake Caffeinated Chocolate - These are so yummy, and the caramel flavor is my favorite! They don't give you a lot of caffeine, but I've gotten a little bit from eating them.
  • Awesome Bars in Salty Peanut and Blueberry Almond - The packaging and name are definitely a win! The salty peanut was a tad too salty for my liking, but they were still okay. The packaging was kind of loud, almost similar to the Sun Chips packaging a while back when they became more eco-friendly, so be careful opening these bars.
  • Baggu Reusable Bag - I love reusable bags, and I really like these because they fold up so neatly. The info card also noted that they're freakishly strong so that's a super win in my book.
  • Coupon Codes for InstaEDU and ThredUP


 In my November box, I received another great set of products. They didn't come with a fun info card explaining all the products, but I was able to look up the info for them through their email.
  • revitaPOP B12 Vitamin Lollipops - These sweet treats claim to provide energy so I'm curious to try them for a late night study session. I've never heard of these before, but I hope they work, especially for finals coming up.
  • Mediterranean Snacks tapaz 2 go - I'm obsessed with hummus so I love this snack pack. Perfect for snacking on the go!
  • Mama Chia Squeezes in Apple Cinnamon and Blackberry Bliss - I haven't gotten a chance to try this yet, but I like the flavors they sent. I've tried Mama Chia drinks before, and I like them so I think I'll these as well.


  • pHresh Deodorant in Tropical Blossom - It's a natural, aluminum-free deodorant, and it came at a perfect time since I'm switching to aluminum-free deodorants. It smells okay so I hope it's effective too.
  • Waxelene - I already own a jar of this product, but I have to say that I love the tube version even more! It's so moisturizing, and I use it for my hands, lips, and elbows. It's also way better for you than Vaseline or other petroleum jellies so I seriously recommend this alternative!
  • Color Club Nail Polish in Poptastic - This nail polish is so neon pink that it instantly caught my eye when I opened the box. A girl can't have enough nail polish! #truth
  • Light my Fire Sporks - These are AWESOME! I've already used them a ton since I've received them so it's definitely my most-used product so far from this box. The knife part comes in so handy, and it's great that these have that.
So these are all the products that I've received so far. I'm already sad that I'm halfway through my subscription, but I'm excited to see the future boxes that are coming my way. Good job, Pijon!

Disclaimer: I purchased the subscription with my own money, and all opinions are my own. I am not being sponsored or compensated in anyway to rave about them. I just really like the company so I had to share!
