BuddhiBox Monthly Subscription Review and Giveaway – May Box
As my 40th birthday rapidly approaches it causes me to think more, and want to create a better environment for my future self. I often find myself sitting and thinking and wondering what the next 40 years will be for me and if they will resemble the previous 40.
One of the things that I love about BuddhiBox is that they practice ‘Saucha’ or pure living. This basically means that they only partner with companies who follow ethical and conscious standard of productions. Each month a portion of the proceeds is donated to a different charity. This months charity happesn to be Connections to Success, a mid-western charity that seeks to break the cycle of poverty by assisting in continuing education and providing work opportunities to their community.
Earlier in the year, I had the opportunity to review the February BuddhiBox (click here to see that review) as well as the April BuddhiBox (click here to see that review). Given the retail price of the boxes these are value packed and honestly a lot of fun to receive and review.
The bright green tissue paper again greeted me and I found myself eager to tear the sticker and delve into this months box with it’s 3 cardboard information cards as a teaser. On the first card was the “Bird of Paradise” pose that shows the pose, in full color, as well as the benefits and possible cautions about the pose. There was a recipe for a “Healthy 3 Ingredient Date and Almond Chocolates”” that is made using only 3 ingredients (5-10 dates,10 almonds and 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips). The final information card included was a box content listing and the following quote:
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode. The true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. – Audrey Hepburn
The thing that I love about this monthly curated adventure is the excitement and little to no disappointment. I have included individual reviews of the items in the box and the box overall. Included in the box was the following items:
Sweathouse Brands – $21.00 ($15.00/spray and $6.00/towel): This cruelty free towel is emblazoned with the “Live Like a Warrior” and comes with Saucha Spray is a nice addition to my growing yoga product collection. Saucha spray is a odor neutralizer for your yoga towel and will help get the funk out.
Frisky Fish – $15.00: This roll on essential oil blend of lemon and lavender (Fresh) is the perfect combination of scents. The scent is simultaneously relaxing while providing a fresh energy smell of lavender and lemon. There are 5 other scents available that include Chill – minty, Fly – floral, Grounded – earthy, Supernatural – smoky warm and Vibe – floral and rosy.
Below the Oak Solid Perfume – $20.00: The scent I received was called “Vixen” and smelled really earthy and clean! I loved the idea of solid perfume and plan to purchase more soon.
Go Macro Sample – Sample: We received the banana and almond butter sample. This vegan, macrobiotic and gluten free bar was tasty and would make a good daytime snack.
Lasting Smiles – $ 4.99: This was a Passion Fruit Mango Lip Balm that smells just like it’s namesake. This products is Vegan, Organic and Fair Trade – a great companion to Buddhi Boxes own goals and business practices.
Poppy & Elle – $6.99: These comfortable elastic headbands are the perfect tightness. The package contained 3 elastic bands in silver, olive green and black, I love these as my hair is growing out and is quickly passing my shoulders.
Yokibics – $ 10.00: Includes 4 AM meditation downloads for a peaceful yoga experience. I have heard these in the past and this is relaxing and will energize you for your day.
This box never disappoints, and is a great deal for your investment. I would recommend this box to any and all yoga and relaxation fans.
