Bulu Box: February

So I saw a coupon on this Subscription box which would make every box you ever ordered $5 instead of $10, which sounds great right?  Not so my friends... I figured this would be a nice health subscription box with healthy food and workout tips, maybe with a few supplements... It is almost entirely supplements, and I am not a big enough health nut to buy into it all...
So needless to say, I canceled, but thought I'd let you know what I received and a couple of the small highlights!

The first thing I pulled out was the Vital 4U Fiber Drink which is: "Packed with soluble prebiotic fiber...to promote better gut health and digestion."  These are $12.00 for a 12 pack, and I received two, so basically a $2 value.  I gave these to my mom to add into our smoothies she makes for an added boost, because I didn't want to drink them straight.

There were the only things I was SUPER excited about! I love gummy vitamins!  These were the best I had ever tried, with a great flavor, and did not stick in your teeth.  These are $9.99 for 60 gummies (30 doses), and this pack came with 10 gummies (5 doses), so just under $2 value once again.

I wasn't too upset about receiving this, until I tried it... I ate about half, and could no onger handle how incredibly tasteless it was.  It could have really benefitted from some cinnamon.  So, this is an Ever Bar which are: "backed with natural energy and nutrient-rich ingredients...high protein, non-GMO, gluten free."  This is in the flavor blueberry cashew.  These are $47.20 for 16 bars, so this is about a $3 value.

I like my medicine to work, not necessarily to be "Green"... This GreenMed AllerRite is supposed to be like a natural substitute for Claritin, but it only comes with three capsules, which is one dose, so I don't really think that is enough to truly know if it works.  They are supposed to: "Relieve allergy symptoms with this 100% natural herbal formula designed to reduce allergic reaction symptoms"  They are $9.95 for 30 capsules, which is only 10 doses, which seems a bit ridiculous to me...   So for 3 capsules it is just under $1.

This is the Montana Mex Seasoning in the Sweet flavor, which I am kind of excited to try actually!  It is said it could be used in cooking, on popcorn, or on ice cream!  Weird right?  This is only a small sample, so I'm not sure what the exact value would be... but it is low.

This is Foodtopia Chlorella which: "contains chlorella, a nutrient-rich food source packed with vitamins, amino acids, chlorophyll, carotenoids and trace minerals to help maintain health...and to bind and detox heavy metals from the body."  Do I have metal in my body?  Do I need chlorophyll?  Am I a flower?  I don't know, but I'm not to sure about this... Anyway, I was sent a pack of 15 tablets, and you are supposed to take 5 tablets 3 times PER DAY! Isn't that ridiculous??  A 90 tablet pack is $20, and I was sent 15, so the value is just over $3

So the total value of this box was about $11, for what was supposed to be a $10 box, and I only really liked two of the products, and disliked strongly the other four...
Therefore, this box was not worth it to me, sorry Bulu Box.

If you are into this type of health thing, you can use the code MYSUB99 to get your first box for $0.99, and every box after for $5.

**I just read a not in VERY small print which stated that not ONE of these products have been evaluated or approved the FDA and aren't intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease!!**

What's in my... Toiletry Roll

I would just like to let you all know that I am packing for a twelve day trip, so for some of you this might not be enough, for some it may be to much. It all depends on personal preference and this is what I have found works for me! I would also like you to know that we are going to be driving everywhere on this vacation, so to an extent I don't have to worry about how much I pack or the sizes of my products. This is my Toiletry Roll  that I hang on the back of the door in the bathroom wherever we are staying. I am going to go through pocket by pocket and show you what I am bringing. In the Top Pocket I have mostly random things. I have Band-aids for small cuts and blisters Q-Tips Safety Pins, in case a strap breaks or something And the brown thing on the left side is a bra clip for razor back tank tops In the Second Pocket  I have skincare things Hawaiian Tropic Clear Sense Sunscreen SPF 4 Travel pack of equate Makeup Remover Wipes And in...

Beach Bags

Ok so new update on how to pack a beach bag. But Warning before hand! The way my family packs for the beach it takes three regular sized people and a seven year old to carr y! I'm going to beak this down into the separate bags that we carry. My Bag My personal Sunscreen, such as your facial sunscreen. This would also be the category for tanning lotions and oils. Two towels. One to lay on or put in your chair, and one to wrap up in or wipe out your eyes. My beach mat! It is straw with pink edges it rolls up perfectly and fits in my bag. I got mine at Target but IDK if they still sell them or not, try  www.windycitynovelties.com/straw-beach-mats Plastic Bags or Sandwich bags to put pretty seashells in! A Book or a Magazine, or both!  The Christy Miller Series , like I've suggested at the bottom of the page,  by Robin Jones Gunn is a good beach read mainly because they take place on a beach! A Camera, this is my absolute best friend...

Best Beach Ever!

So... I am debating on if I should even share this with you because it is so amazing! This is the most absolutely amazing beach I have ever been to in my life! It is Emerald Isle NC it is perfect!  So in my mind it is so perfect because: It is on the beautiful coast of North Carolina (which is where I live, and where I love!) It's name is Emerald ISLE so its on a cute little island (Duh!), at some places o the island you can see the Bogue Sound (yes this is a body of water, and yes this is a real place) and the Atlantic Ocean on the other It is a quite little town so everyone if friendly, and the beaches are never crowded There is a nice little aquarium just up the island a bit The is a little shopping center called Emerald Plantations that includes a movie theater , restaurants, shops, and a river where you can feed Sea Turtles (this is especially fun because there's one that is bigger than my six year old brother! It lives at the bottom and only comes up occasiona...
