Inside the Box
This is an interesting way to package tea. One jar will make 24 cups and smells absolutely delicious.
Lake & Oak is from Hamilton, Ontario and focuses on functional and superfood teas. None of their teas contain sweeteners or added natural flavours.
These cloths are an appropriate fall colour, but they sure do remind me of cheese cloth. The washing instructions are also a bit of a pain: hand or delicate wash separately and hang to dry. I like to just throw things in and get them clean. They are made of 100% cotton and dyed with botanicals. The original run produced six colours, but only two remain: white and mulberry.
Bluum Maison was founded by Stephanie in London, Ontario.
This soap is adorable. The container is nicely designed, and the soap itself is very cute. Sadly it is wrapped in biodegradable plastic, but it could be worse. The soap is made with natural ingredients and is SLS & SLES free. It really smells quite lovely. Fall scents are the best!
Madame Phoenix is from Ontario.
I have always wanted salad servers, so these are perfect. I also love the design. These are made from sustainably sourced acacia wood.
This pin is to remember the children who went to residential school and did not make it home. Proceeds are donated to help support survivors.
West Coast Craft has a team of 3 people, and their warehouse manager is the one who made this pin. If it wasn’t clear from the name, they are from BC.
I can’t imagine actually using this comb on a regular basis. I do not find the handle to be ergonomic as it states, nor do I find it very useful in taking the tangles out of my fine hair. I’ll probably pass it along to a friend with a hair type more suitable to it (though it claims it’s for all hair types). On the other hand I might end up keeping it for my horses.
On a positive note, the combs are made from recycled plastic and are also fully recyclable. If you like this type of comb, I suggest giving them a try. They have a variety of colours to choose from and they seem quite durable.
Earth Combs are made in Canada.
This body butter bar smells absolutely delicious. I’m not a fan of body butter bars, and I haven’t really used the other ones I have, but this one smells so good I may have to make an exception.
Kokoa Botaniks is from Florida, USA and offers plastic-free body care products. They focus on 3 Ps: Performance, Purity, and Pleasure.
Overall Impression
This was a decent box. I’m really looking forward to the pumpkin spice tea, the pumpkin soap, and the salad forks. One thing I don’t understand about Let’s Go Eco is that the MSRPs listed on their info sheet really inflate the actual price you can get these things direct from the company. The worst offender is the Eco Comb that Let’s Go Eco has listed at $15, but actually only costs $9, including tax and shipping. So bizarre!
