Subscription boxes are all the rage right now. People seem to love the idea of receiving themed boxes in the mail every month. One such company is Strong Self(ie), geared towards girls aged 8 to 17 years old. It is a quarterly subscription box for teen girls filled with positive messages, trendy products, and a mission to help parents build strong girls for life.
The company was founded by two moms who have girls themselves, that wanted to inspire this demographic to be strong and positive and to also encourage them to pay it forward. The boxes feature high quality items (for example, one of the items in the December box is a Mermaid Pillow!) that many girls are looking to buy anyway. Now they are packaged in one easy shipment, cost a fraction of what they would pay for each item individually and mailed to their home with a positive message every three months.
There are two boxes – Bloom (for 8-12 year old) and Burst (for 12-17 year old) - that feature trendy products that represent the four corners of self(ie) strength: Health(ie), Smart(ie), Funn(ie) and Beaut(ie). Both boxes are the same price of $59.95 per quarter. You can also shop online at Strong Self(ie) to purchase boxes or individual items without having to subscribe.
Because Emma is 16 years old, I chose the Burst box of the two available options. Emma was super pleased with the items inside and loved that the entire box was something tailored specifically for girls her age. Inside the Winter Burst Box was a sequin gold and off-white pillow with the words "Inspire" on the front and gold sequins on the back. A black wishing bracelet encouraged Emma to first make a wish before putting the accessory on her wrist. A hydrating lip mask and a small bottle of hair treatment were nice for the lips and hair. Stickers with positive images and sayings were included that Emma can add to her 2018 planner. Two velvet hair wraps are used to keep her hair in a ponytail and a pack of kindness cards are encouraging and uplifting reminders to be a Strong Self(ie).
I was very pleased with the products chosen for the Burst box. The items included in the box were of good quality and I felt like it was a good value. The Bloom and Burst boxes are full of little gifts of surprise and delight that help remind your girl that she is strong, brave, and confident.

Win It!
One person will win a Strong Self(ie) Burst Box filled with items for girls 12-17 years old.
