BuddhiBox Monthly Subscription Review – January 2016 Box
The year was 2005 and an opportunity presented itself – a 2 week trip to Thailand. As history would show my traveling to a country in which a major tsunami had hit was cheaper than almost any other vacation destination. While in this foreign land I met the nicest people, went parasailing, rode an elephant and saw many temples. The temples ranged from gold, white and natural colors, but with one thing in common – the message conveyed.
The messages that are received are different for each person, but I felt love and acceptance.There are times in life that you look back on moments and wonder if that was really you that went through that particular moment. This can be running that 20 miles that you never imagines or flying over the oceans to travel to an unknown land. I believe that as much as these monks preach this message, it is the same of yoga – be yourself and be brave!
I recently received the January BuddhiBox and I am again pleased and thrilled. Earlier in the year, I had the opportunity to review previous boxes (click here) and they are always fun and an education in the yoga/healthy living lifestyle. The message is always one of compassion, and understanding and living a pure life.
This month I was pleasantly surprised to see a box redesign. The previous months boxes were a little thinner and placed in a larger box, this new box is sturdy and only one box is needed. I loved that a green crinkle wrap replaced the green tissue paper, but still retained the green theme. This month came with 3 cardboard information cards that are in full color and on thick glossy card stock. The first card was the Yoga pose of “Mountain Pose/Tadasana” that shows the pose in full color, as well as the benefits and directions about the pose. These pose cards are made especially for BuddhiBox by a company called Yogicards. There is a recipe for a “Roasted Tomato Soup” that is made using 9 fresh ingredients The final information card included was a box manifest and on the other side the following quote:
Who knows, maybe the best hasn’t happened yet. – Tristan Prettyman
I have included reviews of the items, included in the box were the following items:
Lavender Lime Body Balm and Hemp Nation Body Wash: I will admit, I am a body wash and lotion collector. I love the idea of variety in my otherwise routine routine. The Co-Pur Lavendar Lime Body Balm smelled so good and left my skin soft! I received the Hemp Nation Body Wash – Kiwi Mango and I loved it. It washed off my body easy and left my skin soft, and the smell remained.
Anahata Bracelet – Levals: This is a Green Aventurine bracelet that will inspire creativity and courage. Also included is Lepidolite which inspires self-love, patience and optimism. The third stone included is Rudraksha which promotes harmony, health and prosperity. This trio is bound to assist you in any of the challenges life throws at you.
Journal – Mandala Publishing: I love a good journal and this one I am in love with! Each page is almost entirely blank with just a small watermark of Ganesh on the lower right hand corners. This 192 archival safe journal would be perfect for ideas, drawings, inspirations and dreams. I plan to use mine when I need a place to jot ideas before bed. This is made from fingerprint proof leather, comes with a ribbon placeholder and elastic closure.
Everyday Tote – North Detail: This tote is super light, it is actually made of lightweight cotton fabric. This would make a great tote for those days when you want a cute carry-all. I loved the uplifting message on the outside of this bag.
Herbal Zap – Sample: I am always looking for natural ways to enhance what my body does naturally so I was excited to try something new. This is an ethically grown (the herbs), Non-GMO verified, gluten-free and kosher powdered drink. There are over 14 herbal extracts used in the mix, which aids in digestion, and promotes elimination of natural toxins and boost the body’s natural immune process.
