Graze: February

I decided to pause my Graze subscription over winter break since I was going to be at home, so this is the first one I have received since November!  If you all remember, I originally purchased a discounted subscription of six months for around $20 or something like that from Groupon, so I only have one more month left after this!  I have loved this box, so that is kind of sad!

The box this month was adorable, it was very bright and Spring-y.  I love that they are changing up their boxes for the seasons now!

So I’m pretty sure I chose that I loved these Thai Sweet Chili Dippers before I ever received them just because I love the dippers and wanted to give it a try.  They were a little spicier than I expected, but they were still really good!  I would like to find the crackers just in a box, I could eat those all day!

I have tried a few of their other flapjacks now, which is their version of granola bars, and they have all been really good!  They are also usually higher in protein, but they don’t have that gritty protein bar texture, which I appreciate.  I have high hopes for this Original Fruity Flapjack!

This is the Peaches and Cream snack with white chocolate, peach drops, coconut, and vanilla cookies...  Aside from the coconut shavings which are just yucky, I am so excited about everything in this!  It sounds so good!  Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like one of the most unhealthy snacks they've sent though? Not complaining!

I’m realizing that I may have majorly manipulated this box… I selected “love” on a lot of these things so I could get them, and apparently that tactic works!  

Barbecue in one of my favorite foods…  Good barbecue that is, so this Sweet Memphis Barbecue snack pack better fall into that category!  In it there are barbecue peas, salsa peanuts, and wild rice sticks.  I wasn’t a fan of the sriracha peas, so I am reeeeeally hoping these will be better.

I love apple pie, so I have very high expectations for this Deconstructed Cinnamon Apple Pie.  It contains cinnamon dusted apple pieces, yogurt covers raisins, and almonds.  Now I’m not a huge fan of almonds, but we will give it a shot!


Though I am not disappointed in this snack, it seems like a bit of a copout… There isn’t much of a difference between apple pie and Elanor’s Apple Crumble except these rasins are yogurt covered and the almonds are cinnamon honey flavored.  Almonds go way up in my book when they actually have a flavor, so I’m not complaining, these two snacks just feel very similar.

I loved my last granola topper, so I have high hopes for this Honeycomb Almond one as well.  In it there is granola, almonds, chocolate covered honeycomb and protein crispies.  I’m not entirely sure what “protein crispies” are, but I like them!  Just a heads up, this is usually enough granola for two standard cups of yogurt in my opinion, just saying.  

This is the New York Everything Bagel with cheese cashews, poppies onion sesame sticks, and roasted pumpkin seeds.  I love everything bagels and everything in this really reminded me of them!  It was really good!

This month the bottom inside of the box also came with a chia fruit drink recipe!  So cute!  Overall, I think this box really hit the nail on the head.  There isn't one thing I'm nor really excited about or have already really enjoyed!

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....

Homemade Beauty... Self Tanner

In need of a tan and don't have the time to get one? And then it gets worse... You check your beauty cabinet and are out of Self-tanner as well... So what now?? Mix your favorite powdered bronzer with you moisturizer for a temporary self-tan. It won't stain your skin like a self-tanner, and will wash off in water, but it works for a quick fix! Bonus? Mix a drop of body oil or olive oil with moisturizer for an all-over shimmer. Or maybe even add some loose glitter for shimmer and sparkle :)

Homemade Beauty... Banana Mask

Bananas, which contain vitamins A and E, are great for treating the flakiness and redness that caused by the cold winter air. The heavy cream in this mask also contains elastin, which will leave your skin feeling soft and supple. You Will Need: 1 Banana mashed well 2 Tablespoons heavy cream 1.5 Tablespoon honey 1.5 Tablespoon flour 1 Tablespoon of water Mix this into a nice mousse. Add the water last—a little at a time to get a nice consistency. Apply to the face; leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse. Credit to:  http://www.seventeen.com/beauty/tips/diy-beauty-treatments#slide-5
