    Subscription Addiction

    Y’all I have a serious problem! I am so addicted to subscription boxes! Eek! They make me so happy to open up a box that is full of surprises and all at a discounted price! My latest subscription box is Ellie. I got a 3 piece premium workout outfit for less than the price of a premium workout top.

You also have the option to skip the month if none of the options appeal to you. For the leggings, which are squat proof quality; a sports bra,…
