Living a Conscious Box life

I LOVE when my friends think about me! While I was in Atlanta, for Vegfest, my friend Aisha posted a link to Conscious Box on my facebook wall. I tried to order once before but they didn't carry a vegan box but now they do, as well as a gluten-free box! So I had to sign up. Being a "new" vegan I am still in the transition phase. Meaning, yes I still have some non vegan beauty and household products but instead of throwing them out I am slowly phasing them out and that my friends is a process.

Conscious is a small family owned company, which I love and the Conscious Box staff works hard at finding the best businesses that support a sustainable, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle. They scour the marketplace to identify businesses both large and small, and use their experience in the sustainable goods industry to find products they know we'll love, every month. Plus, their new system watches what we received and helps prevent any duplicate items.

I was excited to get off work because I knew when I got home my box would be waiting on me. (they send tracking info and I tracked it like a stalker) When I pulled it from the mailbox I was a little disappointed because the box was kinda small but after I opened it that feeling was gone. Just like me, great things come in small packages.

When I opened the box a familar smell hit me, after digging around I discovered what it was.  It was the soap from Harmony Acres soap co. and the African Black Soap from Coastal Scents! Lemongrass and Shea butter. I. Love. Lemongrass. I cook with it, my shea butter has lemongrass in it and now I can bathe with it. Goodbye Bath and Body works hello Harmony Acres!

This box has a TON of items that I can't wait to try. Along with beauty products there is a snack from Yogavive that is only 35 calories per servings! The 1.4 oz bag of Apple Chips is 4 servings, I'm sure I'll nosh on the whole bag instead of just 1 serving but whatevs. The second awesome thing about this snack is it is CHOCOLATE and mama loves her chocolate!  Even though I ordered the vegan box I flipped it over because most chocolate has freakin dairy in it and that hurts my soul. Not this product its totally vegan and organic!

The next product that caught my eye was the Reboot. Its a destress detox that is meant to combat oxidative stress. What I hear is "drink this after a night of drink" and upon flipping it over that is one of the bullet points on what it does. I want to drink just to see how I feel afterwards. I'm sure i'll order more of this product because it states its good after workouts, for weight maintance and sun exposure and its only 20 calories. Its loaded with all types of good antioxidants. Dandelion root, licorice root and angelica root just to name a few.

There is also a 3 pack of Artisan Teas from Mighty Leaf, a lip balm from Ivre de Fleurs,  a natural perfume from Pour le Monde called Empower, eye therapy from Better Botanical and a sleep aid from MRM.

Conscious Box is a monthly subscription program that is $19.99 and ships free 2 day priority mail. They also take "a penny for your thoughts" seriously, when you sign up for an account, you can rate the products in your monthly box and earn money to use on future purchases from their store!

I can't wait to see what next month has in store. With the holidays coming they even have a gift box option, maybe I get a few for friends or just hoard them for myself.
