Love Yours Box — a quarterly, self-care subscription box sends 5 to 8, full-sized wellness, skincare and beauty products valued at over $150.00 straight to your doorstep four times a year for only $39.99. 

It's an affordable, convenient step-by-step self-care routine in a box curated to solve for workplace burnout, environmental stressors and imposter syndrome.

Co-founders Mia Banks and Lydia Page created Love Yours Box during pivotal points in their own self-love journeys, which has birthed almost 100 brand partnerships with over 500 boxes sold.  

The Love Yours Box mantra is #loveyourselfmore and their mission it to help women everywhere do just that.

As Black female entrepreneurs showcasing the experience of the Black woman is a no-brainer for this self-love duo, for it's at the crux of their daily lives as small business owners in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Love Yours Box was founded in the spirit of love and service, and Mia and Lydia currently support organizations like Until Freedom, Color of Change, Days for Girls International, Little Rock Central High School and The Movement — all fighting to ensure that Black Lives Matter is more than a hashtag and equality can become reality for Black Americans.
