Pijon box is a monthly subscription for college students. Even though I’ve been out of college for a while, I was more than happy to review a box when the folks at Pijon sent one to me. Having been in ‘college’ for 10 years (BS, MS, MD – I made a career at collecting letters behind my name!), I think the idea of getting a box every month in the mail would have been awesome. It’s so nice to get things in the mail when life seems like an endless stack of papers and midterm exams!
My Pijon box had a great assortment of goodies. It was a nice mix of snacks, beauty and etc. I’ve seen Mamma Chia snacks at the store before and more than once thought about grabbing one to try. I love chia seeds! These little snacks are delicious and perfect to keep in my coat pocket for a snack on those busy days when I’m rushing from the hospital to clinic. The box also had Tapaz2Go which are lentil crackers with shelf-stable hummus. I’m always a little leery of things like that that usually need refrigeration being able to stay out of the fridge, because it typically means lots of added preservatives. Luckily the label of Tapz2Go passed the “Can I pronounce this?” test.
I’ve been meaning to switch to a more natural deodorant, given that the kind I’ve been using since high school has lots of harsh chemicals. pHresh natural deodorant is just what the doctor ordered! I can’t believe how well it works, even after a workout.
Pat was more stoked than me about the Light My Fire sporks. He grabbed them up before I even had a chance to try them to use for an upcoming camping trip.
My favorite part of my Pijon Box was Color Club Nail Polish in a shockingly bright pink! I’ve been meaning to take the plunge to a bright colored nail polish and this was just what I had in mind! It was definitely a change from my usual unmanicured look, but I have to say, every time the bright pink catches my eye, I smile! My hands are dry and full of hangnails, so it was nice that they included Waxelene petroleum jelly alternative to moisturize before my mani.
It’s a bit like Pijon box got in my brain. There were a few things I’ve been meaning to try, something to make Pat happy, and something to push me out of my comfort zone. I loved my Pijon box so much I almost forgot that they are geared towards college kids. How cool would it be to get one every month to brighten up your day between papers and midterms?
Each box has a $35-50 value, but is as low as $25 per month with a subscription. Use the promo code ‘BlondePijon‘ to get $10 off your first box!

Thanks to Pijon Box for providing me a box to review! And thanks to you for supporting the sponsors that keep Running Blonde running!
That box looks awesome! I feel like more of these monthly box subscriptions are popping up lately, but usually it’s not stuff I’m interested in, or I’d only use some of the box. I’m not in college anymore, but I still totally want to sign up! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Cool! Wish I had that in college!
I absolutely love Pijon Box! Those suckers are by far my favorite in the November one.
I love Pijon Box!!!
These boxes are awesome! They have a lot of handy products for college students. 🙂
Those sporks are great! I like most of the contents of Pijon boxes that I’ve seen, but the monthly cost is a bit high for me.
I loved this month’s box! The chia seed snacks were delicious. 🙂
I honestly wasn’t a big fan of this box. It was only okay, and I didn’t see the value in it. But I do really like the waxelene since it does have so many uses.
Awesome! I love the idea of these boxes because you get to try so many things you may not have otherwise. Awesome nail polish by the way! 🙂
I would love to be able to give this to my dd in college!
Nail polish, LUSH, and candy!?! Um… SOLD! 😉
I was thinking about getting this for my son…thanks for the review!
Looks amazing!! Nothing would be better than getting a fun care package during finals 🙂
That looks awesome 🙂 I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before :))
