Hello 2018 and welcome back to The Sandbox Blog! In our first of several blogs to come this year, we’re sharing a culmination of Questions Answered, Problems Solved, and a Style Tip for the new year...
Read MoreWe have arrived at the last installment of our "everything Sandbox" series — thank you for following along! These are the final “must-know” details for making the most of your Sandbox experience. :)
How We “Do” Dressing Rooms
This is one of the most important aspects of the Sandboxing series.
Read MoreHello again and welcome to part two of our "Sandboxing 101" blog series. We've been super busy this month with stock arriving daily and attending buying shows for next Spring and Summer. So as we mentioned in our last post, we are constantly busy with "other tasks", (both in and out of the store) when we’re not assisting our customers at the dressing rooms.
Customers are ALWAYS number one, so please interrupt us if you need assistance! That is why we are in this business. On that note, here is PART TWO!
Read MoreWith nearly a year and a half under our belts in the new (and improved) location on Main Street, we felt this would be the perfect opportunity to enlighten, educate, and explain, everything Sandbox — kind of a “W5” lowdown.
Why did we decide to tackle this subject? Simple! So that you, our customers, have a clear understanding of why we do what we do, and how we can help you have the best Sandbox experience possible. We also want you to know we are not perfect, however our intentions are always good, and we try really hard to make everyone happy. So here goes, The Sandbox 101 and more.
Read MoreHave you ever had those times in life when everything just seems to fall into place? You start with a change or a decision and hope it leads you in the "right direction". It's known as the "Law of Attraction" — what you put out into the world comes back to you in various forms.

Read MoreWe have arrived at the end of our style makeover journey with Rhonda! Hopefully for Rhonda, this is a jump start to finding her best and happiest self. All of us need an extra boost of confidence every now and again when we lose our way. Sometimes it's as simple as a new haircut or colour, a new way to do your makeup, or an updated look.
Read MoreWhen women are in a slump, unfortunately one of the first things to go is their appearance, which is very sad because it can make them feel even worse. On the upside, turning that around and taking back control of your “outside” can be the easiest first step to turning things around on the inside.
Read MoreThe Sandbox in the City team is always looking for new and inspiring ways to help women look and in turn feel like the best version of themselves. This time around it was team member Megan that was "called to action" when a close friend confided in her that her MOM had all but given up on herself.
Read MoreOften what should be a fun and festive month, for many women, turns into "I have a closet full of "NOTHING TO WEAR", or what is the "right" thing to wear. Some parties are easy to figure out, especially if formal or cocktail attire is requested. Dresses or dressier separates usually fit the bill perfectly. However when the party is more low key, and less structured it requires a bit more thought.
Read MoreThere’s always a must-have accessory that EVERYONE is obsessed with. Right now, it’s all about the poncho! They’re warm and cozy but stylish and chic. They can be long, cropped, colourful, or classic but every style gives such an "I know what I'm doing" look. You put on a poncho and suddenly you feel more chic and put together...
Read MoreWe get asked this question and many more like it on a daily basis here at the Sandbox.Is this too young for me? Is it too short for my age? I'm a grandma, can I wear that? — the list goes on.
