Buddhi Box

Buddhi Box

 

What do I love about this box?

Buddhi Box is one of the few subscription boxes I actually subscribe to, and I can barely wait each month for my box to show up! It’s a great reminder to be present and take some time for myself once in a while. Each box focuses on the yoga principles of

COMPASSION, UNITY, DISCOVERY.

 

What comes in each box?

Each box has 4-6 sample and full-size products that are meant to enhance your yoga practice and lifestyle.  Each month you will receive products that enrich mind, body, and soul.  It may include healthy food, beauty products, and yoga accessories.  I’ve gotten some amazing products such as candles, scarves, bath products, and jewelry.  They often include a crystal or gemstone, which is perfect since my oldest daughter collects them. I love that they think it’s important that their vendor partners support sustainable, eco-friendly, and humane practices.

My Hygge Joy Subscription Box

 

I recently started thinking what my New Year’s resolution was going to be, when I discovered it can all be summed up in one word…HYGGE.  Hygge is a Danish word that is described as a state of being and finding the simple pleasures of everyday life.  That is exactly what I am looking for and My Hygge Joy subscription box helps bring a bit of hygge to your doorstep every month!

What do I love about this box?

My Hygge Joy box brings you items that will inspire, motivate, and remind you to bring hygge into your life and reap the rewards of a cozy content lifestyle.  Products tend to focus on slowing down and living in the moment while noticing the small things around us that bring us joy.  The products in this box are intended to promote pampering, quiet time, and creating comfort in your home.  Can you think of a more fulfilling way to live your life?

What comes in each box?

My Hygge Joy boxes include monthly themed products which may include bath & body items, candles/lights, home décor, books, games, food & drink.

What was in our box? Glad you asked!!!

CLEAN.FIT Subscription Box Review

 

CLEAN.FIT

This summer my family decided to switch to a no sugar, low carb diet and I started to look closely at the ingredients of the snacks I feed my kids.  I was shocked at the amount of sugar and chemicals that are packed into snacks and began looking for healthy alternatives.  CLEAN.FIT subscription box helps you discover new healthy snacks and premium workout enhancing supplements.  Healthy snacks delivered right to your doorstep each month…can it get easier than that?

What do I love about this box?

I love that this company believes you’ll feel a difference almost immediately by practicing the three tenants of wellness: eating clean, staying fit, and practicing self-love.  These are all things we should fit into our lives daily! I must say, I have never felt healthier since I gave up sugar.

My Texas Market Subscription Box

 

My Texas Market

One of favorite ways to spend a summer morning is wandering through the farmer’s market looking at all the local goods.  My Texas Market subscription box brings a Texas farmer’s market right to your door. Their purpose is to help support local small businesses and help vendors expand their market.   I love that a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Houston food bank.  

What comes in each box?

Every month the items revolve around a theme and you receive 4-6 artisan products from local Texas businesses. 

What came in our box?

CARAMEL POPCORN AND VANILLA POPCORN

(Deanan Gourmet Popcorn)

We had these yummy treats during a family movie night.  They were so good and not overly sweet.

Tea Runners Subscription Box

 

Tea Runners Subscription Box

 

On chilly New England mornings, I love to put my tea kettle on the stove, wrap a soft scarf around my neck, then settle down with a steaming cup of tea while I write.  It’s my morning ritual and it sets the tone for my whole day.  I also love to have a cup of tea right before my kids get home from school.  Whenever possible, I let myself have a half hour to read a book and enjoy some tea before the afternoon gets crazy with homework, sports, and making dinner. I find it resets my day.  I love to try new teas, but I seem to always go back to the same ones.  Tea Runners is a monthly tea subscription box that makes new choices for you and delivers them right to your door.

Vine Oh! Review

 

Vine Oh!

I like to surround myself with people that have the same values as myself.  And by values, I mean WINE…you’ve got to like wine! I was so happy to review a subscription box from Vine Oh!, but I had no idea what I had coming!  It is pretty much everything I dream about…all in one box. Vine Oh! is a quarterly box that rewards today’s woman to help her recharge, unwind, and have some time just for her.  Are you kidding me?  Someone must have overheard my friends and I complaining over coffee the other day, because this is exactly what we were saying we need a little help with.  Finally, a box that pampers you and allows you to “Treat Yo’ Self” …  sorry…I’ve watched lots of episodes of Parks and Recreation lately.   

What do I love about this box?

First off, I can’t think of too many things I am happier to have delivered to my house than wine.  I almost kissed the delivery guy…almost.  Now add to that some items that every woman would want but probably wouldn’t buy because very often we seem to put others ahead of ourselves.  This box is full of treats just for you, so tell everyone else to lay off! You’ve earned it!

Groovy Lab in a Box Subscription Box

 

Winters in New Hampshire can be brutally cold and although my girls love to play outside, there are days when Mother Nature keeps them in.  This week showed us just how cold it could get, so we decided it would be the perfect time to review Groovy Lab in a Box, a monthly subscription box that focuses on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).

What do I love about this box?

My girls love science activities and really like when their school does STEM activities, but unfortunately, as a former teacher, I know there’s no time in the schedule to do much of it.  I love that the purpose of these boxes is to provide children with the opportunity to focus their imagination, determination, and innate inquisitive nature with a monthly STEM project.  The box was a great way for our family to fit in some bonding time while doing fun, hands-on projects.   The box allows families to investigate, brainstorm, plan, build, test, and redesign their own creations.

Bespoke Subscription Box for Men

Bespoke Subscription Box for Men

I love surprises and you all know how much I love subscription boxes! Well, why should girls have all the fun? I recently learned about Bespoke, a subscription box for men and I was thrilled to learn all about it! Each box is built around a theme, with the goal of introducing you to something new- a better way to shave, a stylish take on barware, or a new hobby.  I love this idea!  I think it would be a creative Christmas gift since it gives items your man may not give himself.  All the boxes I looked at seemed to contain high quality items. Bespoke was kind enough to give my husband this:

Special Edition Weekender Bag.  ($45)

The inspiration behind these bags are stonemasons who would use bags like these to haul their tools for a day’s work.  It is one of their most popular bags and it’s easy to see why.  It’s made with a thick sturdy canvas with a reinforced frame, so I can see my husband using it for years.  Who am I kidding…I plan on stealing it from him for my next trip!

Just look at how gorgeous it is!

Winc Wine club


Winc

You all know I love getting boxes in the mail, whether it’s a subscription box or a club box, and I do a little twirl at my mailbox when one comes in.  (That may explain a lot to my neighbors!) Well this box had me doing a full cartwheel because Winc is a WINE BOX!!! 

Wine + surprise = Heaven!!

I love to try new wines, but I seem to always go with the same ones.  This personalized wine club is a wonderful way to add some variety to your wine rack. 

So, how does Winc work?

When you first begin, Winc will ask you 6 questions to help them assess your unique taste. Then you sit back, and each month they send you 4 wines specifically chosen to match your palate. After tasting your selection, you rate your wine, so they can get to know your palate even more.  Love red?  That’s fine.  Only want to do white but hate chardonnay? That’s fine too. 

Not everyone loves a surprise, right?  Well that’s fine too because your other option is to select your own wine.  This option gives you all the control.

So, before we go on…I know you’re dying to see what wine I got in my box!!

Green Spa Box


Green Spa Box

This summer I’ve been trying to focus on relaxing, relieving stress, and nurturing myself.  Green Spa Box is exactly what I’ve been needing.  Their mission is to, “give you all the elements that your skin and body needs to help you disconnect from a busy and hectic work routine with natural/organic and nontoxic products.”

I love that all of their products are free from chemicals and dyes and are kind to the environment.  They are also cruelty-free.  The products are travel size, so they are perfect to put in your carry-on bag for your next trip.
