I have joined the Conscious Box and Citrus Lane subscriptions this month. Today I have received my first Conscious Box. In case you don't know, Conscious Box is a monthly delivery of pure, sustained and hand-picked products for 19$ per month.
This is my first subscription box ever and I would say I am surprised to find such a small box infront of my door. I read so many reviews by other bloggers, and always assumed the box would be of atleast medium size from the pictures. But that's not the case. I have taken this photo with a fork on it, so you will have an idea how small it is.This month's theme is "Leap into Summer":
"Then followed that beautiful season, summer. Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light, and the landscape lay as if newly created in all the freshness of childhood."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
So above pic is the first peek in the box.
The box included:
Vita Rocks Dietary Supplement: 2 samples [0.21OZ] each(Cherry Blast and Lemon Burst flavors) These Vita Rocks from 'Healthy to Go' are perfect for both kids (aged 4 and up) and adults. These are the vitamins that pop and are a healthy source of vitamins. My husband didn't like these, but I am okay with them. I think, kids would enjoy them more.
Lara Bar: [1.6OZ] (Chocolate Chip cookie dough) Power-packed with simple,delicious fruits, whole nuts and indulgent, Fair Trade Certified chocolate, these bars provide great nutrition in a compact size-perfect for summer travels. The bar is delicious and we enjoyed it.
Natural Vitality Dietary Supplement: [1 fl OZ] (natural berry flavor) Energize naturally with 28 organic and natural foods ,this concentrated whole-food energizer is gluten-free,non-GM and will energize all summer long.
Kelp Krunch sea weed Energy Bar: [1 OZ] (Original Sesame) This energy bar brings the tastiest sea vegetables fresh from North Atlantic and it's orgainc,vegan,gluten-free,diary-free,GMO-free. Proceeds from the sale of each bar are donated to Allied Whale, whale conservation organization. I thought sea weed would taste differently, but the bar is crunchy and yummy. I would definitely buy if I find them in the stores.
Mighty Leaf Tea: 2 samples (Organic earl grey and organic spring jasmine) These are handpicked organic tea blends and they came in biodegradable pouches free of staples and glue. Mighty leaf participates in Good Partner Initiatives.
Artisana Sattva Cashew Butter: [0.5 OZ] This Artisana Butter is made of lightly roasted organic cashews and is a good source of protein. This has nice cashew aroma and tasted fine.
EBOOST Dietary Supplement: [2 fl OZ] (Berry Energy) These energy shots are sugar free and don't contain caffeine, artifical flavors, or chemicals. Take on summer with natural energy. We didn't like the taste, so I am planning to mix this in a fruit smoothie and finish it.
Nuti-Masu Life Ocean Salt: [0.11 OZ] This is 100% pure and natural, 25% less sodium chloride, and winner of the Mode Food Selection Award Gold Medal 6 times in a row.
Vega Nutritional Shake: [1.5 OZ] (Berry)hmm..another dietary supplement in the box .. Vega is plant-based with robust amounts of daily vitamins, minerals combined with protein, fiber, omegas, antioxidants and probiotics.
Natural Newborn Bug stopper Soap: This is a natural form of bug repellant without using harsh chemicals and toxins, made of pure herbs and essential oils and can be quite useful for summer camping plans.
Savvy Boheme Deodorant: (with peppermint and rosemary) This natural deodorant also provides nutrition and nourishment to skin and no GMO, Aluminium, Propylene Glycol and Gluten in it.
KO Denmark body Lotion: [0.16 fl OZ] (jasmine neroli rose) This paraben-free, sulfate-free, fragrance-free, glycol-free, phthalates-free and silicone-free body lotion features premium ingredients for all skin types. The lotion is a very small sample, I can't say much about its affects. But it smelled nice.
I have to yet to try some of the samples and will update this post with remaining item reviews soon. Bonus gift (when you post on their facebook page) sent to me is Soap Hope 5$ gift card. Also came with this box is a beautiful post card as below:
Overall: I am not impressed with the box. Most of them are food samples and mostly, dietary supplements which i am not much into. I subscribed to conscious box because of their reputation that the box would be a huge variety of stuff and clearly, variety is missing in this box. I have to try these products and still in a confusion if I will continue next month as 19$ is a bit on the higher side when there are other green boxes that I can try for 10-15$.
Stay tuned for more updates.
** I have cancelled the conscious box subscription for now **
