Inside the Box
This was also included in the Men’s Winter 2024 Lifestyle box. I did actually try this, and they are true to their word that it has no taste. I mixed a scoop in a bowl of cereal, and I didn’t even notice it! I also didn’t notice any difference in my body, but I only tried it the once.
Vital Proteins is based in Chicago, USA.
I don’t enjoy matcha, but I am willing to try this as it apparently contains probiotics, and I could probably use some more probiotics in my life.
Organic Traditions is from North York, Ontario, and manufactures in Toronto.
We’ve received a fair amount of Mrs. Meyer’s products in various boxes, but this is the first lotion and a new scent for us. The plum berry scent is sweet, but not overly sweet. I’m happy to have received it because I’m about to run out of my lotion from Essentials by Nature that I got in Preggo Box #3. I really enjoyed that lotion. This lotion, true to its testament is not greasy. Unfortunately, it seems the pump is broken as neither I, nor Tony, can release the top. Oh well.
This is probably my favourite scent from the Mrs. Meyer’s line. I absolutely love this hand soap and am delighted to receive more!
It’s always good to have dry shampoo on hand, especially if you’re busy and don’t have time to wash and dry your hair. Or if you’re lazy, then it’s good for that too. The scent is pleasant, but not too strong, unlike other dry shampoos. It is not a spray, but rather pumps the powder into your hair, so it does require a little work upon application.
Voir Hair is from Toronto and manufactures in Canada.
I tried to go to the website listed: aynil.co, but it is not functional. AYNIL stands for “All You Need is Love”, before you get any ideas. There are three lava beads on this bracelet to which you can add essential oils for a pleasant scent to waft up to your face.
This tray is quite sturdy and has no smell, either foul or pleasant. I think it will be a perfect tray for meals in bed while watching Star Trek Enterprise. Huzzah.
I can’t find this product on their website, so I wonder if it’s been discontinued. We received a mocha powder from basd in the July 2023 Big Snacker box (also discontinued). This isn’t mocha inspired, but rather crème brûlée. To me it smells a bit more tropical than crème brûlée, but it’s not a foul scent by any means.
I’ve actually been putting in effort recently to use up the lip scrub and cream that I have from Three Ships. It took me so long to use it that the cream tastes disgusting, but it still does its job hydrating. Breastfeeding has made me so dehydrated that regular lip balm just won’t do all the time. Once I’m finished those, I can start on this.
This has a brown sugar scrub and a blackberry lip mask. I received an Eco Lips lip balm in the Summer 2023 box. I will be honest and say that I didn’t like it, but I did use it up.
Eco Lips was founded in the USA by Steve and Andrea.
This book contains ideas for things to do on tough days. This book is also tough as it seems to be made of a polymer instead of straight paper. I’m not sure that this book is useful for me. I mean, #45 is “Drink some water.” I do that on all days, whether they’re tough or not. Despite that, I’m still dehydrated. My baby drinks so much!
This booklet was written and designed by A Dose of Reminders.
This is a cute spray bottle that seems to function well. I really appreciate the rubber on the bottom to protect it from hard landings on hard surfaces as well as reducing its ability to slip. The pack of cleaning strips is in a sweet little box that is child resistant. It’s nice that the packet is made of cardboard. The scent is grapefruit and bergamot, which isn’t too strong. The packet also contains a label with elastic to put around the neck of the bottle to tell what’s inside. What a great idea!
Nantucket Footprint is an American company.
Overall Impression
This is a pretty solid box. Most of the items are easily used, with few exceptions. There was no theme at all to this box, and definitely nothing especially suitable for winter. This is good because I did not get around to writing this until mid-May!
