Cravebox Review + Giveaway

One of my favorite ways to try new things is by winning them and one of my favorite ways to win things is by attending twitter parties. Last December, I won one of my favorite things so far, a Cravebox!

You may be thinking, what is a Cravebox? It is a specialty box designed exclusively for members and each box is filled with various products. Each month you will receive 5-6 products in your box for $10

After I won my box in December and fell in love with the program, I got my name on the waiting list (yes, it's so awesome there is a waiting list!) I was lucky to be able to get into this program while it is still in beta mode. A full launch is tentatively set for April.

On to my February Cravebox!


When you first open the box, it looks like this:

Then there will be a note inside detailing all of the products you have received for the month.

This month's theme was "Date Night" and here is what was included:

Downy wrinkle release- travel size

2 Think thin bars

3 packets of orange E-boost

6 Bic Mark-it permanent markers

1 oz Amore Pacific treatment cleansing foam

1 oz Amore Pacific moisture bound skin energy hydration delivery system


I was pleased with all of the products in this box. As usual, the value of the products well exceeds the $10 you pay to receive it. I loved the think thin bars. They are great as a replacement for a light meal or even for a tasty  recovery snack after working out! Really, they are even good as a snack that will keep you full for a while. The E-boost has a great orange flavor and who couldn't use a little more energy? I have already used the wrinkle release several times. It works just as well as ironing and is so much quicker! The bic markers came in some really pretty colors. As someone who enjoys crafts, I look forward to using them! I love that Cravebox let's me try new beauty products, I am very please with the Amore Pacific products. It is so much fun to get a little luxury in your mail once a month!

I wanted to share a little taste of my Cravebox with you guys. So I am giving away 1 packet of e-boost and the Amore Pacific Cleansing foam for one lucky reader to win. As a bonus, I am also going to send the winner a FULL SIZE Mereadesso face + neck toning gel from the January Cravebox! Enter to win with the Rafflecopter form below!

Gud Shampoo review

I have been wishing for a while now that Burt's bees would come out with an adult line of bath and body products. I love using the Baby Bee line on my little ones, but prefer something different for myself (although I admit I HAVE used their Baby Bee shampoo from time to time!) They have exceeded my expectations with Gud, their new line of bath and body products for adults. And boy is it GOOD.

There are 3 scents to chose from Floral Cherrynova, Vanilla Flame and the one I decided to try out, Orange Petalooza. I can not tell you how excited I was to see a orange scented shampoo! I spotted this new GUD product line on the end cap of an aisle in the natural section in my local Kroger. The packaging was so bright and colorful and the cute little smiley face that makes the "u" in Gud grabbed my attention. They just screamed "buy me!"

When I used the Orange Petalooza shampoo, the scent was so citrus-y. I LOVE that the orange smell is so strong and that their is a hint of hyacinth. The shampoo lathered well and left my hair feeling good and clean, both which can be of concern when using natural shampoos. I love that it clearly states on the bottle that Gud products are free of parabens, phthalates and petrochemicals and NEVER tested on animals. These are things we avoid in our house, so it makes shopping much easier for me when products are labeled clearly.

After falling in love with the shampoo, on my next shopping trip I got the Orange Petalooza Body wash and since have switched to both as my permanent shampoo and body wash duo. I look forward to trying the other products available (conditioner, lotion products, hand wash and body mist) as well as in the other scents available.

GUD is fun AND safe and works great. I couldn't ask for more in a product!

Julep Maven Box review and giveaway

To say I am polished obsessed would be a gross understatement, so when I discovered that Julep nail polishes offer a monthly subscription "sneak peak" box, I was BEYOND excited! I took the "What's your Oscar style" quiz at the Julep website and got the result "Classic with a twist." However, I was feeling the "It Girl" box from the February selection of boxes and I knew I wanted to get it! That is the beauty of the Julep Maven Box. There are several to pick from each month and it is easy as a click of the mouse to switch up your selection! Most other subscription boxes only offer one choice, so for me, this makes the Maven Box stand out above the rest!

My first Maven Box showed up just a few short days after I placed my order! It came in a beautiful, classic black box filled with red raffia paper. The polishes were wrapped in bubble wrap and tied with a  cute red ribbon with a bow on the top. GORGEOUS presentation and GORGEOUS polish colors! I received Elizabeth, a dark blue with a hint of shimmer. Rachel, a beautiful copper with a hint of shimmer. And the lovely glittery gold Oscar, which would look great on it's own or layered over another polish or as an accent color.

I love Julep polishes because it only takes 2 coats to get great coverage. But even more important than that, Julep products are "3 Free" (free of super bad for you chemicals Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde and Toluene that most nail polishes have in them) I love that I can feel comfortable using these around my kids and even paint my 4 year old daughter's nails worry free!

I am so impressed with the Maven Box program. You pay $20 a month to get over $40 worth of products. What's even cooler is you can even chose to gift your box for the month to a friend! You also have the option to skip a month if need be. You get 20% off at Julep.com and free shipping! Julep's Maven box program makes it super easy to build up your nail polish stash!!

Sign up for Julep's Maven box Use code SHAREONFEB at checkout and get February's box for $1 (That is over $40 worth of product for ONE dollar!!)
