January Love With Food Subscription Box

(Stay tuned for a special Valentine's giveaway towards the end of this post!)

So after searching around on My Subscription Addiction for a subscription box to try out for free or on the cheap to see if I liked it, I found this Love with Food box! They had a promotion going where the first month was free (except for shipping), so for all of this I paid $2!

The first thing I found upon opening my box was this pamphlet giving a description of all of the products inside! Isn't it cute??
It says... "What does 2015 have in store? All good things! While now's the time for New Year's Resolutions and looking foreword, give yourself a little love for what you have already achieved. With the purchase of this box, you helped to feed a hungry child. If that's not a great way to start off the New Year, we're not sure what is!"

And this was what I saw after moving all of the paper...

The first thing on top was Breakfast in Paris Black Tea by Stash
"Ideal for that sleepy Sunday Morning, steep yourself a warm cup with notes of lavender an d bergamot and melt into your comfy couch" 
Gluten free, Vegan
Dark Chocolate Cacao Nibs by Britt
"Straight from the Costa Rican rainforest, pop a few at a time and these bittersweet little babies will get you fired up for a fresh start!"

Review: I don't normally like dark chocolate, but these were pretty good! I liked them until I realized this tiny package is supposed to be 2.5 servings!!
Velvet Truffeles by Alter Eco
"Made with pure Peruvian chocolate, this sweet little treat is 99.97% organic, 81% fair trade certified ingredients and 100% to die for!"
Non-GMO, Gluten free, Organic

Review: Better than Lindor Truffles! They were creamy, melt upon contact amazing
 In-Shell Almonds by Bobalu
"Move over pistachios. In-shell almonds are taking over your game! Crunchy, fun and full of protein, looks like someone's got a makeover for 2015"
Vegan, Gluten free

Not a fan of Almonds... gave them to my mom!
 Chocolate Dipped Coconut Mini by Luna
"Looking for a little bar to get you through your big workout? Packed with all the right stuff to keep you going, you'll go (coco)nuts for this one!"
Gluten free

I would really like to try Luna bars, I just don't much like Coconut, and this is mom's favorite one, so she got it :)
Cassava Pops by Wai Lana
"At only about 100 calories per bag, these popped-not fried or baked-pups offer all the flavor of typical chips with a fraction of the fat." 
Gluten free, Non-GMO, Vegan

Santa Fe Salsa Somersaults by Somersault Snack Company
"If seeds and grains are your new thing, you'll go head over heals for these tasty morsels."
Non-GMO

Review: These were my favorite thing in the box!! They were big pieces full of sunflower seeds, and they were spicy, though I do wish a few more came in a pack!
 Energy Kettle Cooked Apples by Big Slice
"A simple delectable way to get your 5-a-day, eat a pouch on your way to yoga and say bye-bye to those extra holiday lbs."
Non-GMO, Gluten free

Review: To tell the truth, these kind of terrified me at first! They are Green Coffee Raspberry Hibiscus flavor, and pink... but they actually taste very good :) 
And at the very bottom on the box were all these papers, coupons, and TWO gift cards!  A $40 Hello Fresh (a subscription box with all of the components for a meal) and a $15 Urban Remedy credit (towards $50).

 
So I had an idea... How about an early Valentine's giveaway???

This Giveaway will include:
$40 Hello Fresh gift card
$15 off $50 Urban Remedy gift card
25% off Cafe Britt
25% off Big Slice apples
$5 off $20 at Stashtea.com
$0.60 Stash Tea in store coupon
20% off Cinnful Sweet Heat Tortilla Chips by Chips Happen
$5 off a Love With Food Subscription
Lindor Truffles!! (because I couldn't let it all be healthy)
And finally, a Valentine's Day surprise!

To enter, subscribe to this blog, and write a quick comment on this post telling me you subscribed! It's that simple!


So in conclusion, I greatly enjoyed 5/8 products, am still inquisitive about the tea, and gave the other two products to my mom! Besides that, I received enough gift cards and coupons to pay for the original price of the box by themselves! 
Guys, I think I'm gonna keep it!!

If you would like to try one of these boxes yourself for just the $2 cost of shipping, use this link lovewithfood.com/invite, and please subscribe and enter the giveaway!

    I've subscribed! I thought that I already had, but I guess bookmarking your blog is a bit different than subscribing. <3

VoxBox: Tressemé Beauty-Full Volume

I know I don't usually post at 9 o'clock on Monday nights, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out to you all while I had time, because... I got another VoxBox! This one was the Tresemmé Reverse Your Routine box with a full sized shampoo and conditioner. This is a Volumizing system, and is reffered to as "Reverse Your Routine" because you conditioner before you shampoo... Weird right?  I have to say I was a little confused and skeptical at first. The concept is that when you put conditioner in your hair and rinse then residue is left on weighing down your hair.  My thoughts were that the residue left were the moisturizing properties and that you wouldn't want to rid yourself of all of them... It just seemed a little pointless. I have been using this combination periodically for a few weeks now, and surprisingly I actually really like it!  When I get out of the shower my hair does feel much lighter than usual.  Though it is hard to tell if I have...

Ipsy: June

My June Ipsy bag!   Probably my least favorite part of this bag... was the actual bag.  It's quite ugly, but the products are good for the most part! This Be a Bombshell lipgloss in Secret is ok… It’s a nice brand, so I’m not mad at it, it just isn't my favorite.  I put it on and it had almost a concealer like tint instead of the pretty pinky nude in the tube.  I have used it since and if used with a lighter hand, it's ok. I love this Formula X nail polish by Sephora in Wingwoman!  It is such a nice dark pink/red color, and it didn't chip!  Do you know how hard it is to find a nail polish that doest chip on me? This Three Tone "Bronzer" by Crown Brush is ridiculous... It looks like little kids play makeup.  It has a strip of bronze, a strip of pink, and one of a "highlight," and as soon as I took it out of he box the packaging fell apart.  I didn't even bother trying it, I just listed it on a swap website. But t...

Apple Pie Cupcakes!

I recomend to read this recipe all the way through before beginning to bake. I multi-task, but you need to find the order that works the best for you!  I will explain how I assemble and decorate them at the end! Cinnamon Cupcakes Ingredients: 1 cup milk 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 2 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 large eggs 1 3/4 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners. Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Using a  mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs and sugar until thick ribbons form (about 5 minutes).  Add the flour mixture and beat on low just until incorporated. Don't over mix!  Add milk mixture and va...
