Here's the list of what's included:
Bodhichitta Botanicals Sacred Temple Lotion - Haven't tried this yet but it's a small sample so I definitely will at some point. Scent is cardamom, frankincense & vetiver with angelica flower essence
Nutiva Organice Hemp Seed - Got a sample of hemp seed in a previous box and have been using it on my salads and stir fries. This is a larger packet than before. I will definitely use it.
PeopleTowels Hand Towel - "On-The-Go Alternative to Paper Towels"...so yeah, it's a little towel. Big woop? It has a bunch of green keys on it and says "The key to sustainability is in your hands". I was least impressed with this item. I don't like my towels to preach to me. It's a nice, soft, terry-backed towel but I'd like it a lot more if it was cuter...and not preachy.
Amazing Grass Wild Berry Flavor Drink Powder - It's only 21 calories so I look forward to trying it. It's made with wheatgrass. I used to like Crystal Light but got tired of all the chemicals in it. This might be nice to add to my water for a change.
Happy Squeeze Chocolate Pear Treat - This looks really yum! In a previous box I got some mango coconut milk in a squeeze package and it was delicious. Very intrigued by the dessert in a squeeze bottle concept. Dessert for only 90 calories and you get a 1/2 cup of fruit!
Dale's Raw Protein Bar Key Lim Quinoa - Real happy to get a bar I can take to work as a treat. They come in really useful when I need to work through lunch. Honestly it looks like it will be delicious. All good ingredients.
Maakoa Koopuwa - Package says: "a delicious distinctive blend of Brazilian Cupuacu, Acai, and other super fruits." I guess you drink it?
Dr. Singha's Mustard Bath - I actually tried this out today. My husband and I were out exercising for the first time in a while and my muscles were sore. The instructions tell you to pour the package into your bath and soak for at least 20 minutes in hot water. It's supposed to soothe aching muscles and pull out toxins. I was hesitant at first because it smelled really strong. In addition to mustard seeds it contains eucalyptus, rosemary, wintergreen, and thyme. Once it mixed in with the water it wasn't as bad and I actually enjoyed it. I felt very refreshed after so I guess it did the trick!
Peeled Snacks Apple Clusters - These were tasty. Little orbs of organic apples in a crunchy bite. My husband shared with me and we both enjoyed it. 75 calories and a serving of fruit! I would buy these for a trip if they were a good price.
And my favorites...
Simply Straws Straw - Ok, I ran around the house a few times in excitement when I saw this. I love using straws because deep down I am only 8 years old. And it's a really pretty bold shade of blue. It's just pretty. Package says: "Dishwasher safe" - Score!!! "BPA free" - awesome! "100% Quartz Sand/Borosilicate Glass, Non-Toxic color dyes" - sweet!
Hail Merry Chocolate Macaroons - Ummmmm YES! Seriously people, I ended up for the first time at the Hail Merry website last week looking for something sweet I could order special for my birthday (way before my Conscious Box arrived.) So this is just a super sweet and perfect surprise. There are 8 macaroons in the package so I am very happy with this. I will save for my upcoming birthday.
Later this week I will review some items from previous conscious boxes including Suntegrity Sunscreen Primer and Achiva Drink Mix. Stay tuned!
Quick side note: If you are interested in ordering something from 100% Pure, they have a special through the 14th where you can get free shipping (no minimum.) This is a great opportunity to try something small without the added cost of shipping. If I hadn't promised my husband I would not buy anything during my birthday month, I would be there now! :)
