Once again…if you are not a fan of cursing, you may want to skip this piece because the items in this box have been known to drop some f-bombs…lol! This is my new favorite subscription because it reminds me of my friends and I when we get together without kids! It is a perfect balance of snark and charm, with a dash of profanity! That’s SO US!!! Smartass and Sass is an amazing way to treat yourself every month!
What comes in each box?
Each box has 5-8 handmade, hilarious items. The items have a and all of the items will relate to it. It includes things like mugs, notebooks, tote bags, water bottles, pens & pencils, magnets, candles, etc. It has items you probably would never buy yourself but secretly wish someone would buy for you. It reminds me of getting a care package from your best friend.
We couldn’t wait to peek inside!
So, what was in the box this month? SO MUCH!!!

Since it’s Spring break for New Englanders, I thought I would repost one of my articles on how to keep your home safe while you’re traveling. Hope it’s helpful! Safe travels!
Vacation is a time for relaxation and tranquility, but it’s human nature to worry about the house you left behind. A home is a huge responsibility and you want to keep it safe even when you are away. The following are 10 tips for keeping your home safe while traveling:
1. ASK SOMEONE TO WATCH YOUR HOUSE. Personally, I don’t feel the need to hire a house sitter for a short trip. My house is able to take care of itself. However, I do let my neighbors know that I’ll be away so they can keep an eye on anything suspicious. It’s nice to get a quick text saying our house is still standing.
2. PUT YOUR MAIL ON HOLD. It takes ten minutes to get online and put your mail on hold. Nothing screams, “No one’s home!” like mail bulging out of a street mailbox. I have delivery start the day we return so it’s there when we get home.
Jet lag can make or break your vacation because it is this foggy cloud that settles over you. My husband travels to California for work and I have no clue how his body acclimates to the time difference so well. I started to do some research and realized there are things you could do to adjust your body to jet lag, so I thought I’d share some of the tips I’ve found:
SO, WHAT THE HECK IS JET LAG?
The medical term for jet lag is desynchronosis. It is a physiological condition that is caused when the body’s circadian rhythms (internal time clock) is warped due to rapid long-distance (east–west or west–east) travel.
WHAT SYMPTOMS CAN JET LAG CAUSE?
Everyone can experience different symptoms of jet lag. Personally, I feel like I have a cloud of smog surrounding my head. People complain of having memory problems, a hard time concentrating, irritation, difficulty making decisions, loss of appetite, tired muscles, and bathroom issues.
So, what can you do to prevent some of these symptoms?

Smartass and Sass Subscription Box
Warning to my dad…if you’re going to read this, be prepared there are going to be many curses in this piece…lol. I found a box that I can’t stop telling all my friends about because the items in the box remind me of my friends and I after we’ve been drinking! It is a perfect balance of snark and charm, with a dash of profanity! That’s SO US!!! Smartass and Sass is an amazing way to treat yourself every month…and who deserves it more than you?
The creators of the box, Kim and Abby, seem like my kind of people. They call themselves silly weirdos that love to laugh…and they know every word to Wedding Crashers! Don’t they sound fun?!
What comes in each box?
Each Smartass and Sass box has 5-8 handmade, hilarious items. The items have a theme and all of the items relate to it. It includes things like mugs, notebooks, tote bags, water bottles, pens & pencils, magnets, candles, etc. It has items you probably would never buy yourself but secretly wish someone would buy for you. It reminds me of getting a care package from your best friend.
My theme was I LOVE ME
So, what did I get? I can’t wait to show you!!
My new favorite ceramic mug! What an inspirational phrase…lol
