- Hey guys! (light happy music)
For all of you who signed up
for the Entertaining with Beth subscription box,
your box will be shipped on July 25th
and will soon be on its way.
And for those of you not subscribed to the service,
if you wanna get on board, now's the time!
We've opened up subscriptions for the September box,
and you'll have 10 days to sign up.
The link is in the description.
And as always, I have links to all of these products
that I'm about to show you.
So if you're not a subscriber
and you just wanna buy the products,
you'll be able to do that, too.
Alright, let's find out what's coming
in the July subscription box.
First up, you will each receive
one of these freezable grocery totes by PackIt.
I own a few of these bags, and I'm telling you,
I cannot say enough about them.
They are so fantastic.
It's a freezable bag that folds up,
and has these gel walls built inside the bag
which freeze when you place it in your freezer overnight.
Then you can take it to the grocery store
and load it up with all your perishable items,
and it will keep them chilled for several hours
without the need for ice packs.
But you'll find you'll use this bag
for more than just grocery shopping.
I love to use it in the summertime
when I'm packing drinks for the beach
or loading up items that I might be taking to a potluck.
You can just keep it stored in your freezer,
and then when you're ready to go, it's ready to go!
Next up, you will each receive a set of four
of these beautiful glasses from Duralex.
I'm a huge fan of the Duralex brand.
This is a French company that my husband
introduced me to years ago.
They are made from tempered glass
that is dishwasher safe, freezer safe, and microwave safe.
You can also serve both hot and cold beverages in them.
In the summertime, I love to serve
my strawberry basil panna cottas in them,
and you'll find the recipe card included in the box.
And then this Saturday,
I'll be posting the video to that recipe.
And Duralex is actually offering
a 25% coupon code to anybody watching this video,
so you don't actually need to be a subscriber to the box.
Just use the coupon code EWB25.
And you could also take advantage of the discount
to buy those beautiful glass faceted bowls
that you guys are always asking about,
that are in all of my videos.
These are also from Duralex,
and they're called the Picardie Bowls.
And you'll see there's some matching glasses
that go with it.
I even have one of the carafes.
Beautiful things, again, with all the same durability.
So definitely check that out, and you can use the discount.
Okay, next up, to go with your glasses,
I thought you would also enjoy
one of these beautiful French-style lemonade bottles.
I love these bottles because they look so chic,
especially when you're entertaining outdoors.
They're made from strong glass and topped with a reusable,
air-tight, wire and gasket cap, ensuring that you
get as many uses from this bottle as possible.
I also find these bottles
work really great for hostess gifts.
I love to make homemade lemonade in the summertime
and bring that to my host instead of a bottle of wine.
It's just a little bit different,
and they'll always remember you for it.
And be sure to check the bottom of the box,
because that's where my homemade lemonade recipe
can be found. (chuckling)
But I'll still put the link to that video
in the description as well.
Next up, we are in the season
of picnics and outdoor concerts,
and I know that it's not always practical
to bring the real china to a moveable feast. (chuckling)
So I thought I would treat you all
to some really elegant paper plates.
I love these plates by Caspari.
They are designed to resemble the shape
of fine porcelain dinnerware.
You can notice that nice, slight indentation in the center.
They have the most beautiful toile pattern on them,
which is coming from the Colonial Williamsburg Collection.
Which, if you saw my little Christmas demonstration
with my dad last winter, you know how much
of a fan I am of Williamsburg.
These plates are really sturdy
and generous in size, especially for a paper plate.
I was so impressed by it.
It's the perfect plate for an outdoor barbecue
when you wanna load it up with some ribs and potato salad.
And if you want my rib recipe,
I'll give you the link in the description.
And that French potato salad recipe
is also included in the box.
So you'll be getting that one as well,
and it, too, will be part of a video in two weeks.
I'm gonna show you two styles of potato salad:
one a French-style with a vinegarette
and one a classic American-style with a mayonnaise dressing.
Up next, to pair with these chic paper plates,
I couldn't let you guys go out and buy plastic cutlery.
(chuckling) So I had to outfit you
with a chic set of wooden, French-inspired cutlery
by my friends at Simply Baked.
Many of you know how much of a fan I am
of Simply Baked, 'cause I've used so many
of their baking cups on this channel.
And they've recently come out with these wooden pieces
that I think are just fantastic.
I love the elegant French-inspired designs of the handles.
They are made from a food-safe wood that won't splinter,
and they're also so lightweight
that they're easy to tuck into a picnic basket
without adding in a lot of additional weight.
Simply Baked is also offering a 20% discount
to anybody watching this video as well!
And to take advantage of the discount,
you might also like some of their other wood pieces
that I thought were just great,
like these wooden cheese boards.
They come in a bunch of different sizes.
So, I like the eight by eight
for serving like a little platter for your guests.
And then I would also pack some
of the smaller cheese boards, five by five size.
And I think these are great for individual portions,
where people can put their cheese
and their crackers on their individual plate.
So cute.
And next, summer is really meant for dreaming
and relaxing, and I wanted to make sure
you guys had something inspirational
that would help you do just that.
So as a Lucky Strike extra, you each will be receiving
the launch issue of The Inspired Home Journal magazine.
Many of you know that I've been a contributor
to the inspired home website for many years.
And when they showed me their new magazine, my jaw dropped.
I love this magazine.
I think it is so beautiful;
the photography is stunning, the stories are so inspiring.
On page 25, you'll find a great story
with Chef Billy Parisi covering his tips
for how to make that beautiful homemade pasta.
He has also just launched a channel here on YouTube,
so head on over and subscribe.
Tell him I sent ya.
He's such a talented chef, and so entertaining as well.
(chuckling) He's a funny guy.
I'll leave you all of his links in the description.
And then if you really wanna laugh,
you can turn to page 84 and see me as a little girl.
And I'm celebrating my third birthday party
with a homemade birthday cake that was made by my parents.
(laughing) They were the aficionados
of homemade birthday cakes.
I had some really hilarious ones.
And you can read my article about my love
of the imperfectly perfect birthday cake.
So if you're traveling this summer
or just sittin' by the beach, I hope that you
find this magazine as inspiring as I did.
Alright you guys, that's everything
that's coming to you in the July box.
I hope you will enjoy these products as much as I do.
And if you wanna get signed up
for the September box, there's still time.
You have 10 days to sign up.
The link is in the description.
And I also am now offering past boxes and some past products
that are also part of my online store.
You can see what's available.
It is just while supplies last,
so it just depends on what we still have in stock!
Alright you guys, and I will see you back here
on Saturday, when we are gonna tackle
those beautiful strawberry basil panna cottas.
Until then, bye.
