I'm a big fan of The Chalkboard Magazine, a health and wellness site run by the folks over at Pressed Juicery (yum!), so was excited to be chosen out of dozens of blog comment-ers to receive a one time delivery of Goodebox. To summarize, Goodebox is very similar to Birchbox in that you receive monthly shipments of product samples, membership style. But Goodebox focuses on items that are all eco-sensitive, natural and orangic, which is right up my inner-hippie alley. I was so happy to receive my treat this week! Snail mail truly is the best... Photo Note: I most certainly am NOT wearing orange nail polish. It's actually a lovely shade of pink/peach (just ask Jenny who helped me pick the color!). I don't know why in the heck it looks so pumpkin above, but I swear I'm not trying to make my fingers say "Halloween". My goodies:
So far I've tried out the green tea balancing bar (love!) and the multi-use blush (double love!). I also snacked on one of the dark chocolate treats yesterday which was delightful, though I'm usually more of a milk chocolate kinda gal. I'll be bringing the shampoo, oil and second chocolate square along with me on my weekend trip to Vegas tonight (where I'll be meeting B for the last few miles of cross country moving), so I totally appreciate the travel sized nature of these goodies. The only product I'm slightly hesitant to try is the natural deodorant. While I can totally understand the reasoning behind choosing this over other (aluminum filled) versions, I am deeply fearful my...ahem...*awkward squirm*...sweaty Italian self will render it completely useless 5 minutes into my walk to the office. And really, who wants to be the stinky kid at work? Perhaps I'll give it a go during a less active Sunday-at-home kinda day. Poor B, just as he moves in I decide to use natural deodorant...ha! Thanks, The Chalkboard Magazine and Goodebox, for the fun mid-week treat! I am highly considering signing up for another few months :) In Gratitude, Trish
