Time for our monthly MAILBOX MONDAY for October! The first Monday of every month you’ll see our Mailbox Monday Meme. It will cover the previous month and we invite all of our readers to participate. If you’re a blogger, you can participate too by sharing our MEME on your blog.

The Mailbox Monday Meme is about celebrating all of those fun things we get in our mailbox every month! These items can be giveaways/contest prizes that you won, freebie samples you snagged from the internet, gifts you received from loved ones, etc. What doesn’t it include? Yucky bills.

Last month I won a charcoal skincare system from a beauty blog. I have been hearing great things about skincare products containing charcoal in them, so I was excited to win and give it a try. I received the cleanser, toning mist, facial masque and day cream & moisturizer. At first I was “scared” to slather black stuff all over my face but after getting through it…I was impressed. Don’t worry, it doesn’t stain your skin! The line is all-natural and organic and is supposed to help with fine lines & wrinkles, age spots, dry patches, uneven skintone, etc. I’ve only been using the system for a week so we’ll see how it goes.

We recently lost 2 beloved family members, so we did receive sympathy cards, flowers and a fruit basket last month in our mailbox too.  Grieving is such a hard thing to do, especially when you have to do it 4 weeks a part. Ugh. I sure hope we don’t have to go through this again for awhile.

What kind of freebies, samples and giveaway wins did you receive in your mailbox last month? Tell us all about it in our blog comment form. Now is your time to brag all about it.

Shelly –  Last month was a decent month for me. I won a beautiful wristlet wallet from an IG giveaway, 5 spray bottles of room air freshener from a blog giveaway, along with 2 candles in travel tins and a $25 Starbucks gift card. Hubby won a $25 gas gift card from a Twitter promo and a $25 Applebees gift card from another. Overall, a pretty good mailbox month for us.

So…now is your time to shine and brag to us! What kind of freebie samples, free gifts, giveaway wins, etc. did you receive in your wonderful mailbox last month?
