My Favorite Subscription Services!

Hi Friends! For today’s post, I thought I would talk about my favorite subscription services. I am always curious as to what services like these people use/ pay for! I make sure I am very selective with mine because they can sneak up on you if you aren’t mindful so the ones I’ve selected to share are my personal favorites and I would love to hear what yours are!

How I decide/ my strategy when it comes to these types of subscriptions:

-What area in my life would this help/improve

-Which types of entertainment subscriptions would I actually use

-Do I need help in the kitchen with meal ideas? Or want non-toxic cleaning products and don’t know where to start etc

-Is it cost-efficient or do you actually pay more?

I always ask myself these questions before signing up for a subscription service because I like to be really financially responsible and not pay for things I don’t need.

Okay with that said here are some of my favorites!

~Audible: is a audiobook listening app that is part of Amazon in case you don’t know what it is! I have used and loved Audible for many years and it’s part of my every day. There are other audiobook apps and you can also get a library card and download their app to listen to books but I find Audible has the best selection. You won’t be waiting for a new release because they have it available as soon as it’s ready.

~Billie Razor: This is a newer subscription to me but I am obsessed! I have seen so much talk about it on IG that I was a little skeptical but decided I am tired of overpaying for razors that either cut me or get dull extremely quickly and would try this out. I am so happy I made the leap because the subscription is affordable and the razor is AMAZING.

~Netflix: I mean can one live without netflix these days? I think not haha but I love netflix and that all my favorite cozy shows are on there like Gilmore Girls, New Girl, Vampire Diaries, Downton Abbey etc.

~Amazon Prime: Another one that I can’t live without even though I wish I could because there isn’t anything sustainable about them which is important to me. But within prime that’s how I get my groceries delivered, watch prime TV, order books and household things I need last minute.

~Social Media Planning Apps: Not everyone needs these obviously but if you like to plan your feed and create an aesthetic than there are apps that are very helpful for that! I subscribe to the Tezza editing app, Planoly for feed planning, Unfold for IG stories filters, I also use lightroom at times too. I also pay for premium subscription on Canva! There free version is awesome but as someone that creates graphics for work and blogging I wanted all the capabilities it had to offer.

~Other subscriptions I’ve used/tried: I have tried Hello Fresh and Sun Basket for meal kits. I didn’t like either TBH and no longer subscribe. I think they are great if you want to cook more but aren’t familiar with cooking on your own or have lower skill levels in kitchen but want nutritional meals. I’ve grown up cooking my whole life and am very comfortable in the kitchen so I was mostly using for convenience but didn’t enjoy the meals as much as when I would just cook. For blogging platforms: I have paid for Squarespace, WordPress, and Wix website hosts/ subscriptions and my favorite by far is WordPress it is the most customizable for what you pay for.

~A subscription I’d like to try: I’d like to try is the Grove Collaborative nontoxic household subscription service. They send you green and nontoxic cleaning products and more each month. I have been slowly converting all my cleaning products to nontoxic ones that way I feel better about putting my food on the counters and that my environment isn’t full of yucky chemicals.

Okay friends that’s all for today’s post! Let me know if you use a subscription that you can’t live without that I should add to my list!
