Mothers Day Gift Guide - Vella Box Candle Subscription #VellaBox




 If you're anything like me, you always have to have a candle burning in the house. A scented candle really helps to lighten the mood.  A pleasant scent brightens up the house and a the warm flame is relaxing. I always love trying new candle scents and I especially enjoy soy candles, so I was excited to give Vella Box a try. They are a subscription box that sends high quality candles directly to  your doorstep every month, giving you the chance to experiment with new and exotic scents. 





In April, the Vella Box included several unique varieties including: Sugar & Huckleberry, Moonlight, and  The light, earthy scents really brighten up the room and promote a feeling of peace and tranquility. Because the candle is soy based, it burns evenly without creating any black soot. I've been burning mine for a few weeks now and have only used up about half of the candles. The long lasting formula makes them a great investment and the relaxing scents make them perfect for mediation or yoga practice. They even come in lovely jars that could easily be re-purposed once your candle melts down.  In addition to the candles, there were a few samples of Mrs. Myers hand creams including in this month's box.





With most of the country still on lock down, taking Mother's Day special might be complicated. You can't visit and most local stores aren't selling gift items. Vella Box is a great solution. You can give you mother or any special lady in your life a subscription that will bring a little life into their lives during this dark period. Not only in May, but for as many months as you like. Select from subscriptions ranging from three months to one year. To learn more about Vella Box and all they have to offer, be sure to visit their website or follow them on social media.

Thesis Beauty all-natural deodorant review.

From celebrities making the switch to natural deodorant, to how-to’s on detoxing armpits, underarm health is all over the news this summer. But not all-natural deodorants are created equal, and that’s why Thesis Beauty’s award-winning organic spray-on deodorant is making waves.

At Thesis Beauty, we believe in using only the best ingredients nature has created. Named Best Deodorant by Healing Lifestyles and Spas, our unisex deodorant harnesses fresh botanicals like organic peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender to keep skin feeling fresh and smelling great. 100% vegan and cruelty-free, our products NEVER contain synthetic chemicals or harmful artificial preservatives and additives.

My Thoughts:


Ever since I read about the harmful effects of antiperspirant, I have been a user of all-natural deodorants. The only issue is, there are so many brands. Finding one that works for me has been a bit of a challenge. My skin is very sensitive. Some brands on the market have given me rashes, dry patches, and discoloration. When I heard about Thesis Beauty and their award-winning formula, I knew I had to try it.

First and foremost, the packaging was beautiful. Such calming colors and the bottle was so pretty. You could smell the delicious essential oils right when you open the box. If you're someone who loves a good fragrance in your deodorant, you will love Thesis! The scent is earthy and welcoming.

Upon using the product, I was thrilled. It's wonderful and truly works. The smell lasts and the formula easily fights the odors of sweat no matter where it is on the body. I had no harsh reactions thankfully. Spraying this product on verses the stick method I'm used to was so much easier during my morning routine. I would highly recommend Thesis to our readers!

AriZona Beverages All-Natural Fruit Snacks Review


 

 

You love the fruity beverages from the brand AriZona. Now they have created an all-natural fruit snack sure to be a family favorite. 

The AriZona All-Natural Fruit Snacks come in a distinctive AriZona graphic package. The bold color pack is eye catching. Inside are the cutest fruit shaped bites made with real fruit. I love the flavors they chose. The juicy flavors are Fruit Punch, Mucho Mango and Watermelon. 



The shapes are fruit slices, cherries, grapes berries and peaches. They pieces may be on the small side, but they pack a big fruity flavor! My favorite is the watermelon. The chewy shapes are just the right texture. They are not too gummy but offer a nice chewable bite. 

The AriZona All-Natural Fruit Snacks are gluten-free, fat-free and contain vitamin C. There are no preservatives or artificial flavors and colors. A serving size of 13 pieces equals 70 calories. 

These are great for school snacks or having in a briefcase for work. My family likes the fruity flavors without being too sweet! They do have that classic AriZona flavoring we enjoy in their beverages. 

The snacks are a hit! Look for them in your favorite market. The package size is 5 ounces.

My Thoughts

If you're looking for a great Valentine's gift, a few of the all natural products from Green Goo are a nice twist on the stereotypical flowers and chocolate. I received a jar of the Love Sweet Love bath salts to try out and I absolutely love them. The large 16oz bottle is a generous portion that will last for quite some time if used sparingly. Inside you'll find soothing salts as well as large pieces of flowers. The aroma is simply delicious and is only gets stronger once everything is dissolved into the water. Seeing the flower petals floating in the water adds to the luxury. But its the way you feel after soaking that is the true miracle. These bath salts do more than simply relax sore muscles. The natural healing ingredients provide an invigorating lift in your spirits. And remember that Love isn't all about romance. There is also self-love and if you are feeling down or need a confidence boost, these salts are a gentle and inspiring lift for your soul.
This lavender & chamomile body scrub is one of the best I've ever tried. The blend of sea salts will exfoliate skin, leaving it with a deep down clean you can see and feel.  My skin was super soft after only a few applications, and the relaxing scent is the perfect way unwind after a long day. The scent clings to your skin all night, refreshing without being overpowering. The addition of the oils and herbs ensures your skin is not only soft but healthy and radiant. If you're looking for a way to make your sweetheart smile this Valentine's Day, this scrub would be a great choice

Valentine's Day Gift Guide - Honey Gift Boxes from Carmel Honey Co.


If you're looking for the perfect gift this Valentine's Day, you can't get much sweeter than a gift that is produced locally, helps the environment, and contributes to research and education for the betterment of the world.

Holiday gift boxes featuring honey and custom Carmel Honey Company logo items are now available from the company, which was founded by 14-year-old Carmel student Jake Reisdorf, who was 11 at the time. The gift boxes are available online or at the company's store in Carmel.

Three gift packages available:

> $100 box. This box features a custom Carmel Honey Company logo apron, custom mug with attached spoon, custom honeybee/honeycomb design socks, a 12-oz. jar of Wildflower Honey, an Orange Blossom Honey Stix pack, and a honey dipper, all in a white box with bow.

> $50 box. Features Earl Grey Supreme Tea in a silver tin, 8-oz. jar of Sage Honey, custom mug with attached spoon, and honey dipper in black box with bow.

> $30 box. Features a four-pack of Carmel Honey Company honey, Sage Honey, Wildflower Honey, Orange Blossom Honey and Meadowfoam Honey, gift wrapped in black box with bow.

The four types of honey currently produced comes from Jake's 120 beehives, and is all-natural, pure, raw, premium honey that comes straight from the hives.

And Reisdorf, as part of his “Jake Gives Back” program, donates some of his proceeds from the sale of his honey to organizations that are expanding research and education efforts by addressing the production, nutritional value, health benefits, economics, and/or quality standards of honey bees and honey.

So when you purchase these gift boxes from the Carmel Honey Company, (or place a honey bee pollination hive in your backyard), you have contributed to the research and education of the public on the importance of pollination and the benefits of the honey bee.

Carmel Honey Company honey gift boxes can be purchased directly from the website (which grew out of a class project) at www.carmelhoneycompany.com 


My Thoughts

Honey is one of my favorite sweet treats and additions to my food and drinks. Not only is it good for you, but it is also a great substitute for sugar. Different types of tea with honey has always been my go to drink for energy, relaxation, as well as relief for any seasonal colds I get.  This delicious honey variety from Carmel Honey Company was an amazing addition to my honey collection.  It comes in both single use sticks and jars, and provides natural sweetness that hits the spot! 

The Carmel Honey Co honey had a wonderful thick texture. It's also much better for you than processed sugar honey that many on the market brands are made from. I loved how nice and sweet this was, and the beautiful packaging. I loved the unique taste of it. It's thick with a light yet flavorful taste.
