My June Conscious Box arrived yesterday and I opened it right away! This month is the second month of a three-month subscription I ordered a while back on during a Plum District deal. In case you don’t know, Conscious Box offers a monthly delivery of pure and sustainable products that are handpicked from businesses that care for the planet. You’ll receive 10-20 items from companies working towards the most ethical goals.
I’m skipping the outer box picture this month, but Conscious Box ships a box in a box. This is the inner box where all the action is at! Oh and Conscious Box ships via USPS and took two days to get to me (in MI) from Portland, OR. Take that all those other boxes with slow shipping!
I was super excited by the June Conscious Box first look! I didn’t see much I recognized, but I saw a lot of things I couldn’t wait to look at more and discover, so I knew it was going to be a good box.
I could not have been more thrilled when I saw an actual information card in the June Conscious Box. Usually they e-mail you with the box contents, but this is WAY better! Totally made the box 100x better for me! Here’s what was inside:
~Paper Culture Card ($2.59) + $25 Voucher($27.59): Paper Culture has some super stuff stuff, however, I went online to see if I could actually get anything without spending money, but I couldn’t ;(. It was going to run me $8.99 to ship 10 cards. Really? I’m going to see how much address labels run, so all hope isn’t lost yet. They do have really cute stuff though, so I do want to use it. I don’t want to pay $9 to ship anything though.
~Nature’s Baby Organics Shampoo + Body Wash(Vanilla Tangerine) ($2.49): This smells exactly like The Honest Co. body wash. Exactly. The lather is a bit different, but I love this. I’ve never heard of this brand before, but I will certainly try more from them.
~$50 Gift Card from Naked Wines($50): My goodness, Naked Wines is everywhere! Clearly they want me to drink some wine. They do ship to my state, so I think I may have to break down and place an order. Has anyone ordered from them yet? Any recommendations??
~Greek Island Labs Natural Join Supplement($6): This supplement is designed to promote healthy joints an supports flexibility and mobility. I probably won’t end up using this because 5 days is too little to decide if I like it and I probably wouldn’t buy it to test it out longer. But there isn’t anything wrong with it! I’ve give it to B ;).
~Earth Friendly Products Organic Lemongrass Hand Soap($0.82): This soap smells great and I can’t wait to use it. Also, who knew this brand was so inexpensive? Why don’t I buy this on a regular basis?
~Molly Muriel Volcanic Bliss Bar Soap / Soft As Silk Shampoo Bar(~$3): I had to estimate the prices on these since there was not a weight on the package. B will totally snatch up the bar soap and I am all over the shampoo bar! Has anyone ever used a shampoo bar? I am excited to try it.
~sneakz organic Chocolate Milkshake($2.08): This drink has a full serving of vegetables in every box, which I think is great. I gave both L and B a taste of it and they enjoyed it. At least L did (he drank most of it actually). WB didn’t make a crazy face so I assume he liked it too!
~Organic Flavrz (Boost + Revive)($4.50): Ha! I just got this in the June Love With Food box as well and I had just let L try this when the June Conscious Box arrived. I agree that it’s good, but it’s no Spark ;).
~Skout Organic TrailBar (Apple + Cinnamon & Cherry + Vanilla) ($4.98): These are organic, gluten-free, vegan and contain non-GO ingredients and are actually pretty tasty. I tried the Apple + Cinnamon one and was quite surprised. Not as good as LUNA bars, but not in the same category as a SoyJoy either.
~LARABAR Alt Peanut Butter Cookie Fruit and Nut Bar ($1.50): LARABAR’s are pretty tasty, so I was pleased to see this in the box. I’ve never had this flavor, but it sounds yummy. Something tells me B will snatch this up before I get a chance to try it!
~Son for men soothe (~$1): B will be thrilled to try this and that he gets another sample. My sample hoard is huge, but not B’s. He gets sample and uses them right away. I put them away and then after I realize I haven’t tried it yet, I am forced to dig it out and locate it! Maybe it’s easier for him because he gets less samples?
All totaled I came up with a value of $28.96 for the June Conscious Box. That doesn’t include the Paper Culture voucher or the Naked Wines gift card (which would bring the value of the box to $103.96) because you have to spend money to redeem them. This was probably my favorite Conscious Box every and I felt like it was a great value as well, since Conscious Box is only $19.95/month ($12 + $7.95/shipping).
