MAKE A FOREVER FLORAL BOUQUET
This month’s collaboration with Rifle Paper Co. has got us going wild for florals but, if we’re being totally honest, we don’t have the best track record when it comes to blooms. Thankfully, this DIY from A Beautiful Mess means that you don’t have to worry about keeping your plants fed and watered – and who knew that a paper bouquet could be so cute?! It’s the best way to add a pop of spring colour to your home, without the commitment!
GOOD FOOD, GOOD LIFE
Spring’s arrival means it’s the perfect time to turn over a new leaf with everything from our beauty routine (hello, botanical formulas!) to our food, and this month there’s a new cookbook on the way that’s going to help make that second point a little easier – The Good Life Eatery Cookbook. The brainchild of Shirin Kouros And Yasmine Larizadeh, after the success of their two London cafés, it contains over 100 simple, healthy, good-for-you recipes that are quick to make with easy ingredients. If it sounds up your street then keep your eyes peeled on the Birchbox Magazine for some of their awesome recipes at the end of April!

REFRESH YOUR SPACE WITH DIY WALL ART
In the spirit of having a Blooming Marvellous month, we’ve been busy searching for ways to rejuvenate and refresh our space – whether that’s home or work! Enter: this super cute DIY from Brit + Co. All you need is your favourite quotes (hit up Pinterest for ideas!), some paper, watercolour paints, and some frames to make these oh-so-Instagrammable prints. We’ll be popping them up on our desk, hallways, bedroom, and beyond to inject a little positivity into our everyday.
FORGET SPRING, WINTER IS COMING…
Hands up if there’s only one series on your TV radar this spring! (Us, too!). That’s right, after months of mysterious teasers and hints from HBO, Game of Thrones is finally back on our screens for the sixth season! Will Jon Snow’s frankly GORGEOUS face be making a re-appearance, what kind of plans for revenge will Cersei be cooking up, where the heck are Khaleesi and her dragons, and will winter ever actually arrive?! We’ll be tuning into Sky Atlantic on Monday, 25th April to find out the answers to ALL of our questions (we hope!).
BLOOMING MARVELLOUS!
Last but by no means least, we’ll be celebrating a Blooming Marvellous month here at Birchbox UK thanks to an amazing collaboration with Rifle Paper Co. We’ve created two beautiful box designs with the US lifestyle and stationery brand and we are seriously obsessed – trust us, these boxes are too pretty to be hidden away! Check out the 3 reasons you won’t want to miss it for more sneak peeks about what’s in store or, if you haven’t already subscribed, join us here to get your box (and pick the design that you want to receive!).
