Conscious Box (Classic)- August 2013

Conscious Box is a monthly subscription box that is $19.95/month.  ***Disclaimer... I only paid $7.95 (the price of shipping although for the monthly subscription box it is included into the $19.95 already). I used a promo code to receive the box for free. I believe the code was FIRSTBOXFREE... Try it out for yourself.***
***UPDATE 8/15/13*** Try ONEFREE if the other code doesn't work. I just saw that on facebook.

Use https://www.consciousbox.com/user/stayathomemomof3 to check out their website, I receive credit for you using my URL and signing up. THANK YOU!!!

Conscious Box has three different boxes that cater to your needs. Classic (Which is the box that I received), Vegan, and Gluten Free. They have 10-20 products each month. Their products don't have any GMOs, highly processed foods, or products with unsustainable manufacturing or production.

The boxes are created with products that support healthy living, sustainability, social responsibility, and more conscious living.

According to their box, they are "packed with LOVE, 100% recycled, Ink for Veggies, Say no to GMOS, Labels are BPA-Free, and 1% for the Planet.

Here is my YouTube Video:



The following descriptions are from their website, the pictures are mine. :) I will update the item descriptions with my personal opinion of them after they have been tried by my family and I.


POSTCARD

No description, this is just a postcard. Not sure who I'll send a postcard to yet.. LOL 

Stash Tea Organic

Stash Tea's Organic Tea bring the rich, bold-yet-delicate flavors of some of the world's finest flowers and herbs to life. Whether it is a scrumptiously-tart triple berry explosion, a relaxing lavender, or brilliantly unique chocolate orange, Stash Tea will leave you feeling invigorated, no matter the time of day. Pour, steep, and enjoy! 

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion

So, I have no description for you. Their website stated that I should have received a Magnesium spray... Here is the spray's description: Cavemen (and women) rejoice - your spice is here! L'Ecuyer's mix of chili powder, sea salt, peppers and oregano gives a real kick to whatever you're cooking. Try it on chicken and potatoes. You can even try dusting it on dried mangos. Just be sparing - a little Caveman goes a long way.
Sounds good. Wish they would have actually sent me the spray instead of lotion. I sent them an e-mail... We'll see what they say.
 
***UPDATE 8/20/13***
Received an e-mail response 4 days ago... Here is what they had to say about the mix-up. We had a glitch in the product reviews for Ancient Minerals Magnesium Spray. We sent the lotion out this month to everybody but for some reason on the product reviews have the Magnesium spray. We sent that product out months ago! Man.... Still would have enjoyed the Magnesium spray... Their sight says the spray too. Oh well. I'll still try the lotion sometime though. :)

Clif Bar Sierra Trail Mix Energy Bar

Clif Bar is an excellent alternative to the many “health” bars you'll find in your local supermarket. Made with organic oats and peanuts, Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa, and non-GMO ingredients, Clif Bar is dedicated to making healthier, more ethical, and more sustainable nutrition more widely available. Plus, as members of 1% for the Planet, Clif Bar donates 1% of total revenue to environmental organizations making a difference. 

 Barbara's Organic Snackimal Cereal
Vanilla Blast
 
It can be difficult to find a fun cereal that isn't packed with artificial ingredients and GMOs. Barbara's Organic Snackimal Cereal is not only GMO-free, organic, and low in sugar, but it also contains 8 grams of whole grains per serving and is a downright delicious way to add some crunch to your breakfast.

***UPDATE 8/26/2013***
Opened this up for my son. Was pretty good. He seemed to enjoy it as well. Didn't add milk as he is only 14 months old, although I'd love to have it with milk. Would probably buy these if I ever saw them sitting on the shelf (Just noticed that I didn't put links to anywhere where you could buy them.. Hm.. I'll have to look those up for you guys)

Sneakz Organic Yummy Veggie Nutrition Milkshake
Free from GMOs, antibiotics, and synthetic hormones, Sneakz Organic Veggie Nutrition Milkshake is a deliciously healthy addition to every lunchbox. Made with organic milk and packed with a full serving of fruit, Sneakz is a healthy choice in the form of chocolate milk!


MRM Veggie Protein
MRM's Veggie Protein Supplement is 100% all natural, gluten-free, and vegan. It's the perfect way to get in seven grams of protein for only 40 calories. Made with fruit and vegetable extracts and natural vanilla flavor, all you have to do is mix a packet into some water or almond milk for a nourishing protein-rich beverage!


Happy Tot Super Toddler Bars
Nourish your little one with this tasty, gluten-free, and organic whole grain snackbar. These super toddler bars are made with healthy ingredients such as organic sunbutter and the super grain salba (also known as chia seeds), so you can rest assured that while delicious, these are also nutritious.

**MY OPINION**
My son was nearby when I was taking pictures, he went straight for these bars. I opened up the one that he grabbed which was the Mixed Berry Crunch. I tried it myself, and it wasn't bad at all, I can see why he loved it as well. Reminds me of Rice Krispies.

Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Jellies
Pack these yummy tutti frutti jellies in your little one's lunchbox for a natural dose of essential omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Supplementing omega-3 has been shown to help support healthy brain, eye and immune system function, and now you can do it with just one delicious jellie fish capsule per day.


 
***UPDATE 8/20/13*** This box includes two squares. I have a quarter under the one on the white square. It just barely covers the whole quarter. SO... It really is a good size I'd say. 
 
Slumberland Snacks Sleep Squares
Feeling a little weary as we head into these summer months? Sleep Squares are deliciously simple treats that help you get a better night's rest.

***MY OPINION 8/20/13***
Took just one of these squares last night. Kind of reminds me of a Tootsie Roll. Had a real chocolaty taste to it, which I was surprised by. I figured it might have this chalky taste or something to it. I didn't feel really tired before I took it, but I was out within a half hour after taking it. Woke up this morning, and I feel pretty good. I'd say that it worked for me, and again, I only took 1. It says that you can take 1 or 2 of them. I just wanted to try it at the lower dosage. Didn't want to overdue it. That, and I have a 14 month old that sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and I didn't want to be so out of it that I couldn't hear him getting up.


MRM Relax-All or Digest-All
MRM Relax-All is the perfect aid for relaxation and heightened mental tranquility. MRM Digest-All is the perfect aid for digestion. Which did you get?


Amazing Grass Green Superfood
Get all your fruits and veggies in at once with this energizing and alkalizing gluten-free, vegan, and raw superfood blend. Simply add to your beverage of choice for enhanced energy levels, immune function and a wholesome dose of vitamins. Yum!


Allimax 100% Allicin Capsules
Fight bacterial, fungal, and viral infections with Allimax 100% Allicin Capsules made from fresh, raw garlic. The amino acid alliin, found in garlic, is tremendously beneficial to human health and well-being, and has even been proven to combat and treat the common cold. Support your body's natural defenses with a natural boost!

***MY OPINION 8/20/13***
I ended up giving this to one of my friends. She seems to be combating something that the doctors keep giving her medicine for, and she just can't get ride of it. She's sick of trying different medications with no result. She's kind of wondering if she has built up a resistance to the prescription medication because she's been trying and taking different things for over a year now. :( I found out you can purchase these at a health foods store, and we have one here in town... So... I hope and pray that these work out for her.

Thank you for checking out my blog. Stay tuned for updates of these products, and please check out my other posts. I think I'll try this box for one more month and then we'll see if I continue to subscribe. I'm not sure if I'll use some of these items, so that is a factor in me continuing this box or not.

Thank you,

Cristina AKA Stay at Home Mom of 3
