What Is SelfishbyLola?
Curated by therapists, SelfishbyLola is a monthly self-care box specifically designed to inspire joy in an accessible way. We partner with mission-led brands to provide premium wellness and lifestyle goodies, making self-care an easier, consistent and affordable practice for you. Each box incorporates 1 happiness boosting activity inspired by research in mindfulness, psychology, and neuroscience to rewire the brain for more joy and positivity. Additionally, we select 7-8 wellness products sourced from vendors that produce natural, organic, and feel-good products ranging from aromatherapy, clean beauty/skincare, and unique lifestyle goodies. Themes and items change each month so it's always a delightful surprise!
How Does It Work?
There are 4 Selfish By Lola self-care plans available for you to choose from: Monthly, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months.
Subscriptions auto-renew according to your plan at the end of the subscription cycle. You can cancel anytime before your renewal date (9th of the month) to not be renewed.
For prepaid multi-month subscriptions, you can cancel anytime, and you will receive the remaining boxes from your prepaid multiple month subscription and then your subscription will end.
For example, if you purchased a 3 month subscription at checkout and want to cancel after the 2nd month- you will no longer be billed for any further boxes and you will still receive your 3rd final prepaid box. You will not receive any further shipments after your 3rd final box and your subscription will end.
You can also purchase one-time gift subscriptions that do not auto-renew! With this option, there's no need to log onto your account to cancel as gift subscriptions auto-expire!

Absolutely! To purchase a subscription plan that does not auto-renew, simply visit our Membership Page. Gift subscriptions automatically expire at the end of their subscription period and does not auto renew. There is no need to cancel!
Additionally, there are past boxes and other gift items available from our one-time store, Self Love that never renew!
