Bestowed Box ~ Back to School Edition ~ September 2013

As you may remember, I recently reviewed Bestowed Box last month in August.

Bestowed Box, being the amazingly generous company that they are, allowed me to review their September box as well! I received the above box for free to share & review for my readers.

The theme for this month's box is "Back to School." It contained a variety of great snacks, that you can take on the go, or stow away in your backpack pocket, or lunchbox for a quick snack.

Bestowed Box is $19 per month, including shipping, or $209 per year (which works out to be $17.62 a month, a savings of $16.56!) Each box is curated by celebrity nutritionist & author Heather Bauer. Your assortment of 5-7, healthy & delicious foods, snacks, beverages and/or lifestyle items are sent to your home or office on the 15th of each month.

If you would like your own Bestowed Box, you can get $9 OFF your first box, and only pay $10 by entering promo code HELLOTEN094.

Bestowed Box ~ Healthy Lifestyle Subscription Box ~ July 2013

I recently found another great healthy lifestyle subscription service called Bestowed Box.

I decided to contact them to see if they would like me to review one of their monthly subscription boxes, and they were kind enough send me the box in the photos below for free, to share with all of you!

This monthly service is $19 per month, including shipping, or $209 per year (which works out to be $17.62 a month, a savings of $16.56!) Each box is curated by celebrity nutritionist & author Heather Bauer. Your assortment of 5-7, healthy & delicious foods, snacks, beverages & lifestyle items are sent to your home or office on the 15th of each month.

Bestowed Box comes in a brightly colored Orange box!

You received a pamphlet with information about the products in your box. Bestowed Box explains why they LOVE each item, and tips on how to use it.

 Roots

2 ~ .39 oz packets ~ Blueberry Flavored Powdered Fruits & Vegetables ~ Sample Value $2.80

Get your days worth of vitamins & nutrients, as well as increasing energy, detoxifying your body, and assisting in weight management.

  California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Everyday Meals, .4 fl oz. each ~ Retail Value $.60

 I received this brand in my very first Goodies Co. box, as well! This olive oil is grown from sustainably grown olives, and the green, glass bottle it comes in protects the oil, which allows it to stay fresher, longer.

Arrowhead Mills Instant Plain Oatmeal ~ 1 packet ~ Sample Value $.54

Arrowhead Mills oatmeal is organic & sodium free.

 Hemp Hearts

Raw, Shelled Hemp Seeds ~ Sample Value $ 1.99

Sprinkle on Salad, Cereal or yogurt. They have a mild, nutty flavor similar to sunflower seeds & are packed full or Omega 3 & 6, as well as protein!

Bakery on Main  True Bar in Coconut Cashew ~ Sample Value $ 1.99

This is an all around "good for you" snack bar. It's a great source of Omega 3 & fiber, low sodium, and non-GMO certified

.

Herban Essentials Essential Oil Towelettes ~ 6 count~  Sample Value $6.00

This was definitely the coolest item I received in my box this month! These individually wrapped towelettes are perfect for cleaning hands. They are naturally anti-bacterial & anti-septic without using chemicals, and they smell amazing!

$25 i Train Gift Card ~ Downloadable workouts for your MP3 player. 

The retail value of my Bestowed Box is $13.92, not including the i Train Gift Card, which I may or may not use. Whenever, I receive a subscription box, It's my hope that the boxes contents are worth more than the monthly price tag. In this case, if you were to take advantage of the gift card the boxes value is $38.92, which is not bad at all! If not, then the boxes contents fall a tad bit short, value wise. I do think Bestowed Box had an interesting mix of food & lifestyle items. If living a healthy lifestyle is the way you "roll," then check out Bestowed Box!
