I thought I had hit the jackpot when I found LuxeBox but then I discovered GlymmBox! Was I asleep? How long has this been going on without me? When I did my research for LuxeBox a couple of months ago I hadn’t found any other Canadian companies doing the same thing at that time. This…
Choose Quality over Quantity

Lately I’ve been on this quality over quantity kick. It all started a few months back when I started purging and selling things in my house. I had NO idea that I had accumulated so much stuff. Same with food. I had cans of things I hadn’t seen in months. Well, guess what? I got…

The past year or so, I’ve been actively following fashion trends through reading magazines, blogs and articles on websites.

Luxury designer items at a discount
