Pretty packaging! Can't wait to dig in...
My favorite item in the whole box was the two packs of Nature's Kick Honeystix. There were 7 in each pack (so 14 in all) and they are very tasty! I love honey sticks but they are usually not something I can find at my local grocery store, so it was nice to get them in this box and indulge. Also included was a promo code for 15% off online orders.
I must admit, I was extremely excited to get the Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil samples in this box. I have been wanting to try out coconut oil in our cooking for a while because I've heard a lot about the health benefits of using it, but didn't want to buy a big container of it since we might not end up liking it in the end...and now we can try these out and see if we like them! Great box addition! They also included a promo code for 10% off online orders, which we may end up using if we like them.

Next was six packs of various Linwoods Super Food Blends, which included flavors like "Shelled Hemp" and "Milled Organic Flaxseed." These were by far my least favorite item in the box - we got some of these as samples previously from our local grocery store, and they are pretty flavorless and grainy-textured. Though they say you can just toss them in things like yogurt and oatmeal, I would not recommend it (yuck!) I suspect I will try to use them in baking instead so that we can eat them (they are very good for you, after all) without actually having to taste them.

Next up was one Good Greens apple crumb wellness bar (full size bar). Tasty, but a bit sweeter than I usually like for my snacks. I am incredibly impressed, however, that it includes 100% of your daily fruit and vegetables for only 190 calories (70 from fat). We may pick some more of these up to feed to my little guy, who does NOT like eating veggies, at all, ever (he tried & enjoyed eating this bar during dinner tonight). They included a promo code for 40% off your order (nice!).
I was not particularly excited about the Wexy Lunch & Munch Bags that came in the box (4 included, each with a different monster picture on it). Though they are BPA free & biodegradable, I still think I'd rather go with reusable cloth bags for my snacks & meals out of the house. We also got these in our "Baby Discovery Box," so now I have eight of them that I have to figure out what to do with...any suggestions? Promo code for 30% off online orders included.

Next up we have a sample size of Boring Goats "Non-Scents" Goat Milk Soap in very pretty packaging! It's about the size of a bar of soap you'd get in a hotel, so this might be best for use as a hand soap for visitors in the bathroom (I feel like it's way to small to use in the shower). 10% off promo code included.

I was very excited to find a full-size bottle of Nature's Gate Rice Bran Facial Moisturizer in the box. It's a very light moisturizer which slides on silky-smooth. It will be great to use as we get closer to summer & no longer need thick, heavy-duty lotions! It has almost no discernible smell, which I like in a lotion since I'd rather wear perfume than be stuck with whatever my lotion smells like. A $1 retail coupon was included, as well as a $2 coupon for any Nature's Gate Facial Care product.

They also included three small samples of Nature's Gate shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so we can try more of the Nature's Gate line.
Also included were two Fyrefly Organic herbal teas ("Serenity" flavor -- my husband commented that they missed the obvious pun here by not calling it Sereni-tea) -- making 2-4 cups each bag. They taste like what I imagine lavender would taste like in liquid form, which *sounds* gross, I know, but is actually really soothing & nice. My husband also pointed out that it's the kind of tea that doesn't need sugar added because it has such a nice distinctive flavor all on its own, which I really like. Big thumbs up on this one (I like this flavor much better than the one they included in the "Baby Discovery Box," which was the "Baby at Breast" tea). We will definitely be ordering more of this particular flavor. They included a promo code for 15% off your order.
We also received a $10 off any product Bamboo Bailey promo code (http://www.bamboobailey.com/) and a $5 promo code for Frego (http://www.fregoliving.com/).
Overall, a great box this month!
