Couldn't Wait to Tell You about #ConsciousBox #Giveaway
As a product reviewer, there is nothing I like more than coming home to a delightful surprise in my mailbox. Its like a small glimpse of Christmas morning as I'm pulling in the drive at the end of a long day. Despite this insanely gray winter, surprises in the mail are my little rays of sunshine that lift the soul.
That's probably one of the biggest reasons I am so glad to bring you a review and giveaway from Conscious Box. Conscious Box is a subscription based service that once a month delivers to your door a little ray of sunshine. Their box made of recycled materials is crammed full of the "purest, most natural products on the planet."
Get New Eco-Friendly Products Delivered Right to Your Door! You can subscribe for one month, three months (you could win 3 months below!), six months or even a year. I happened to get a Classic Box, but you can also select a Vegan or Gluten Free box. Each month of your subscription, Conscious Box will deliver new, exciting and earth friendly products to your door step.
I received a free box to try this month. I could hardly wait for it to arrive! Inside my box I found 2 Two Degrees quinoa, chia and millet bars which really look scrumptious. I also found a 1 day adult and 1 day kid smarty pants gummy vitamin supplement. I am excited by the OldeMan Granola that genuinely looks like granola that I would have made. My husband tried the Zarbee's All natural cough syrup, which seems to be predominately comprised of dark honey. For the tea drinker, there are multiple packets, and Nektar honey crystals--which sounds like a fascinating way to travel with honey. There's also a bottle of wheatgrass boost--which looks a little like 5 hour energy for the green crowd -- I don't think it makes the same 5 hour energy claims. The small tube of Motherlove diaper rash cream looks like it should be cloth diaper okay, so that's always something good to have on hand.
The last product, I'm really not sure about.... it's a box of disposable iPhone sleeves. It's from a company called chef sleeve, and the idea is you wrap your phone in these protective sleeves while cooking so you can still access the recipe on your phone, without caking it in flour. I get the concept, and truth be told, if the sent one for iPads, while I might not use it for cooking, I so would use it to guard the screen against Peanut. Honestly, you have no idea how embarrassing it is to go to work with all of the grime Little Man gets all over the screen--I don't know how he does it. HOWEVER, I was a little taken aback by this selection... most of the products were organic, eco-packaged.... Even though it's recyclable--it's still a throwaway product. The packaging doesn't make clear what number plastic it is, so I'm not even sure if my city can recycle this product... Jury is still out on this. But that's just me, and this was only one month's box. Next month may have an even bigger and better haul of treasures.
Overall, for someone who doesn't have a Whole Foods in her neighborhood, I feel that the box provides a good way to trial some of the products I browse on the shelf, but might be shy to commit to. I happen to appreciate that many of the products in the box I received are also made in the US.

I love that you can buy the products featured on the box at their website--that is sooo handy!
ReplyDeleteThe link under option 2, "leave a blog post comment", I think there's a typo in the URL because it took me to a domain-squatter webpage instead of a real site.
ReplyDeleteBeef McBig-- I fixed the link. I hope. Sorry about that!

I love the fact that there are vegan choices within the boxes.
ReplyDeleteI would choose the Classic box!

I love that they also have gluten free and vegan choices so that there is something available for everyone. I would most likely choose the classic box. Your box looked interesting. I'm not so sure how I feel about the iPhone plastic sleeves that were included...for the same reasons you had, That is is recyclable but it's essentially just a throw away plastic bag. I was a bit surrpised to see such an item Included in conscious box and would be very interested in knowing what other people thought.... I love that they have a point an reward system and you can use your points to get discounts on full size items that you loved from your conscious box and I would really enjoy a subscription as I am looking for more natural products to switch to and conscious box would provide a great service to learn about many natural products that I might not otherwise have access to without blindly ordering full size online... I don't have a whole foods or any other stores like that near me so the selection is very limited on this type of stuff and there is sooooo much online I never really know which products to choose so I'd love to try conscious box, especially since next month is earth day and I anticipate they may have an extra nice box to celebrate such a Eco conscious holiday!
