Box subscription review

Conscious Box
Probably the most expensive of the boxes. I loved it and paid for a 3 month subscription with a 50% off code they sent out a while back. $19.95 a month shipped is the regular price. It included a few full size products, and all of their boxes are all natural, no GMO and BPA free. They also offer Vegan and Gluten free boxes. Use code FIRSTBOXFREE to get a free box, you pay shipping $7.95. If you like it, they usually have a discount code for subscriptions.

This is what as in it. A coupon for a free product (not available in my state though), a full size toothpaste, two bottles of dream water, and lots of smaller samples to try. My kiddo immediately stole the milkshake.










Bulu Box
$10 a month, always a free box code, or half off subscription codes, floating around. This is what was in my last month's (April) Bulu Box. A pack of gum, the Cocoa Via sample pack, Omega Swirl, a Barre bar, an Eboost natural energy supplement and Neo-Chill pills.

Bad phone picture, sorry!

Kona Kase
$15 a month and you can usually find a half off one month code. For some reason I lost my picture of this box...It was a great box though! It contained a Zing bar in Chocolate coconut and a cashew one, a Picky Bar, a TRACHealth Chia + Portable drink mix, a Rickland Orchards granola bar, a Power Bar Energy Blend sample, Rosemary Cashews, a Soyjoy bar and a Journey bar. This was probably my favorite box this month; so delicious! Here's a picture from the Kona Kase Facebook page of the box, exactly the same except I had a hibiscus chia drink:

Goodies Company
This one requires an invite (you can request one on their site), but I also know a lot of people are against shopping at Wal-mart, and it is owned by them. One of the cheaper box subscriptions, and comes with quite a bit for $7 shipped. I received a few months worth, and while I have it suspended right now (since I may be moving in the next month) it's a good one. There are always at least 3 full-sized products and several small. Contents are mostly the same from person to person, though flavors are usually different. As you review things, and receive boxes, you earn points that you can redeem for free boxes. This box would be best for more than one person for sure. And if you solely eat clean in your house, it is not for you! It's basically all treats.

Image stolen from a Walmart press release but is exactly what I received in one of my boxes.

Bulu Box was the first subscription box service I ever signed up for and was what first encouraged me to try out different supplements and see what works for me. I also have to remember, with each of these boxes, that I won't always like everything in them each month.  Kona Kase is a good mix of health minded and workout related. Goodies is just fun! Conscious is a bit expensive but if you are looking for more ways to be organic/non-GMO and such, it's perfect! I love finding out about new products, and I love getting crazy stuff in the mail so if I could, I would definitely keep getting all of them. Though I really want to try a few other boxes I keep hearing about as well.

Disclaimer: I paid for all of these, and all opinions are my own. The last two pictures are from the company websites, while the first two I took. 

Zola Review

I honestly hadn't really tried any sort of coconut water, or Açaí juice prior to receiving this box from Zola to review for Fit Approach/Sweat Pink. The package contained a bottle of Açaí juice, Coconut water, and Coconut water with pulp and a cute pair of bright green sunglasses! The Açaí juice is missing because I had packed it to take with me on a road trip. 

I tried the Açaí juice with my boyfriend...probably a mistake. He lived in Brazil for a while, more than once, and had tried it for the first time there. In his mind, açaí should be made with milk, and this being mixed with water, startled him. He did however say it "wasn't bad but would be great mixed in with a smoothie." I had never tried açaí juice at all so it was new to me! It reminded me of blueberry ish juice without the tart. I really liked it and it was my favorite of the batch. I agree that it would be amazing in a smoothie and next time I find it, I will be making one.

The coconut juice was good. I don't know what I expected when I took the first sip. I think I expected it to taste more like raw coconut (because seriously, I can eat that like some people eat chocolate). It didn't have much of a flavor, just a slight that wasn't over-, or underwhelming. I ended up mixing half of it into a mixer and adding pineapple, strawberries, vanilla protein powder, flax, spirulina and spinach into an awesome smoothie! I definitely preferred the coconut water post workout versus my usual almond milk. 

I haven't tried the Coconut water with pulp yet since I am not a fan of pulp in my drinks, but I already have plans for making it into another smoothie. I'll post when I do!

Since I somehow lost most of the pictures I took with it (ugh seriously), I'm going to post links to other Sweat Pink ladies blog posts where they reviewed this as well!

GNC vitamins-review

Women's Mega Ultra plus energy.

I purchased these at Sam's Club in a two pack (was $10 cheaper this way than at GNC). I have some trouble with vitamins, they tend to make my stomach hurt or a headache. I am sensitive to artificial sweeteners, so this is the cause of the headaches. I thought I'd do a review of these since I know women are always on the hunt for great multivitamins and these were good. If you are sensitive to caffeine, these would not be ideal for you as they do provide an energy boost.

Pros: Easy to swallow, simple, 2 a day, energy boost with caffeine and natural energy supplements, my skin cleared up and nails/hair, grew faster, didn't leave a weird taste/residue

Cons: Dyed bright yellow, weird chicken broth type taste to the tablets, slight headache (again, probably due to sucralose), if you're sensitive to caffeine or take it with caffeine, you might get slightly jittery

Overall, I like them and will continue to take them until I run out which is one more bottle.
