BULU BOX: APRIL

I'm back with an unboxing post of a subscription box called BULU box. It is a monthly subscription service that provides you with samples of vitamins, supplements and health products. Like the other subscription box services you can sign up for a month to month basis or 3,6, or 12 months (from $10-$110). I found out about this box service through an instagram  user who told me to check out her blog for more information and a coupon code! Her blog can be found here , check her out for reviews on different subscription services!
 Using her coupon code I was able to get my first box free! Since I wasn't sure if there would be products that I could use I opted for trying the first box and then making a decision on whether I want to continue using the service. Here are the products included in the box

This is how the box looks

It comes with a card inside giving you information on all the products that are included for that month

Now onto what's inside

A packet of an Energy shot by Natural Energy

Pack of Energy Pills by Shroom Tech

A chocolate cherry real food bar by Barre

A packet of Self tanning lotion with glove by Denese

A 30 minute workout DVD

Items I am looking forward to trying/or have tried

• The workout dvd  is probably the one item in the box I'm most excited about trying
• The real food bar is another one I'd like to try even though I have been sent one before in a different box (conscious box
• Although I will not be using the self tanner since I gave it away to a friend I am interested in seeing the results once it is used

Items I am least likely to try

• Both the energy pills and shot, since I am wary of taking energy pills

All in all I think it was a decent box, I didn't really know what to expect when it was sent to me and it was a pleasant surprise to see the different products included. I will try them out for another month to see what other products they will send.

CONSCIOUS BOX: APRIL

Since Earth Day falls within the month of April this month's box was filled with products to encourage more eco-friendly behavior. I have not tried everything in the box so far but I can give my opinion on a few items. I also have a coupon code for 10% off  new subscriptions before April 22nd: "SHARETHEWORLD".

Pumpkin Cookie by Alternative Baking Company

Nacho Bean and Rice Chips by BeanFields

Body Lotion by Totlogic and Floor soap by Enzyme Natural Home

An energy packet by Speednutritionals

A natural Veggie wash by Veggiewash

A Pomegranate Drink mix by Everly

Dark Flavored Chocolate by Wei of chocolate

Packet of baby food by Nurtureme

Scented Facial Cloth by Seventh Generation

Items I've tried

• The Nacho chips were a nice surprise, if you are looking for a dorito alternative then this is a good option
• The Pumpkin cookie reminded me of these pumpkin spice cookies my sisters love (which I don't like), the cookie is soft and tastes strongly of nutmeg in my opinion
• The dark chocolate is very dark with hints of the flavors they included like chai and almond. If you don't like dark chocolate this wouldn't be your thing since it is quite bitter

Items I'm least likely to use

• The Baby food was the item I was least interested in since I have no children and don't know of anyone who does so that seemed like a waste of a product
• The energy packet doesn't pique my interest because I am hesitant about taking energy boosting pills so I will most likely give it away
• The Flavored drink mix is another item I will most likely give away because I have never liked flavored water

What I'm looking forward to using

• The facial cloth seems interesting and I look forward to using it at some point (for now it will sit in my makeup bag until I need it)
• I'm keen on using the Veggie wash spray but until I next do my grocery shopping for fruits and veggies it shall stay unopened
• I will be using the floor soap soon to clean up my wood floors
• I like trying out different lotions so I will definitely use the totlogic one 

Hope you enjoyed this post and until next month's box!

Vegancuts

I'm excited to share with you what I received in my February Vegancuts box. Just like the consciousbox which I shared with you in my previous post, the vegancuts box is also a monthly subscription company. They box is filled with different vegan snacks as well as some vegan products. If you were looking to try out or discover new vegan snacks then this box is for you. The box is around $19 a month and you can chose how often you want it sent to you. What's great about vegancuts is the ability to shop for vegan products and food without subscribing to the monthly service. Although they do sell some products that are featured in their monthly products as well.

Taken straight from the Vegancuts website:
Vegan Cuts is run by a vegan couple, John and Jill, who really want to see more people shopping with vegan ethics. A commitment to buying vegan food is a great start, but you can also make a positive difference by choosing vegan options when purchasing clothing, shoes, accessories, body care products and everyday household items. This is why Vegan Cuts features a range of vegan products and encourages members to shop vegan by promoting opportunities to save money while eschewing animal cruelty.

Below I will share what products came in this months box.

A small sticker with the company's logo

A note from the founders of Vegancuts

An offer for an online cooking school and a free coupon code 

Now onto snacks 

A square of chocolate mint from the company Righteously Raw

A cherry filled chocolate from www.sjaaks.com

A raw bar from BudiFree

A peanut butter toffee crunch protein bar from PureFit

3 samples of tea packets (earl grey, chamomile blend and jasmine green tea) from Serengeti Tea Company

A packet of gummy candies from Surf Sweets

Toasted Coconut chips from Dang

Lentil Chips by the company Simply 

Hemp Lip Balm from by The Merry Hempsters

I was happy to see that a few products that had caught my eye in the supermarket were included in this months box. Although I haven't tried most of the snacks I did try a few with my sisters. The Lentil chips are good, sort of a cross between a potato chip and a tortilla chip in my opinion. My sister pointed out that the lentil chips taste like pork rinds and I have to admit they do (how ironic). The chocolate mint is bitter but that's to be expected since its 82% raw cacao. The cherry chocolate heart is my favorite because it wasn't bitter and I did enjoy both flavors. The gummy candies were just like regular gummy candies only not too sweet (I'm not into candy but my sister really liked it). The last things we tried was the toasted coconut chips which were slivers of hard coconuts. The package says it can be used with yogurt, cereals and the like but I'm still on the fence on what I would pair it with. 

Hope you enjoyed this post and those that are vegan or just interested in vegancuts should definitely sign up and see how they like it.
