Here is the May edition of regular Bulu Box. I am keeping this subscription even though I cancelled the weight loss version.

Fixmixer Amino ~ Fruit punch powder amino o energy drink.

Fit ‘n Crisp by Promax ~ Vanilla marshmallow protein snack.

Plantivia AllerDX ~ Calms histamine reactions and improves nasal airflow.

NeoCell Beauty Bursts ~ Collagen chew. Another sample I wish was bigger.

Artisana Superfood Nut Butter ~ Berry flavored cashew butter. SO excited to try this! OH and they claim it’s an appetite suppressant.

This is my last Weight Loss edition of Bulu Box. It’s not that I’m unhappy with the service, I love Bulu, I’m just not using the samples and they are piling up on me. I also need a higher power to help me lose weight. WILLPOWER! rawr! BTW I’m also getting a lot of duplicate product because I also have a regular Bulu sub.

Fixmixer Amino ~ Fruit punch powder amino o energy drink.

Fit ‘n Crisp by Promax ~ Vanilla marshmallow protein snack. HORRIBLE tasting snack. I mean really, how do you mess up a rice crispy bar?

NeoCell Beauty Builder ~ A hair,skin,nails supplement. 3 HUGE pills. I kind of wish there was more than one serving. My skin is really suffering lately.

The Thin Pill ~ Weightloss pill. Still not liking the idea of a weight loss pill. It’s not that easy! It is a full size bottle though so I might give it a go.

JCORE Zero Lite drink ~ Raspberry Lemonade. Benefits: metabolism and fat breakdown, supports heart health and increases antioxidant activity.

$5 Gym Pact Card ~ Make a weekly pledge to work out and earn cash rewards when you do! Or pay up if you don’t.

I was a little nervous getting my PopSugar this month.  I was still having visions of last month’s MEH box. I cheated and read the first page of the booklet and let out a HUGE sigh of relief. The box I love is back! 🙂

“It’s May, and we’re ready to kick party season into high gear!”

Trust me, they do! This box is SUPER fun!

“Taking you away from the everyday”. YES, that is exactly what this new subscription service Cloud9 does. It did for me anyway. I got such joy yanking the ribbon off the orange box to see what was inside. My eyes popped out of my head when I saw that the first product was a bag of BROWNIE BRITTLE. *thud*

Before discovering the bites I was introduced to the box by a card with a list of each product. May brought me 6 items hidden underneath cloud white tissue. 🙂

 

 

 

I got Sheila G’s Original Brownie Brittle. soooo YUM. The bag didn’t last the writing of this post. 🙂

4 bags of Runa Tea. All are focused energy Guayusa teas: ginger-citrus, traditional, mint & cinnamon-lemongrass.

Foil packet of Rodan & Fields micro-dermabrasion paste.

Lisa Ann Skincare’s Lemon Body Lotion. Vegan and paraben free. (Bonus lip balm YaY)

Burpee Seeds to make my yard beautiful. Achillea “The Pearl” seeds.

HEY YOU! To get your own Cloud9 go HERE. I so couldn’t resist that. Now I have that song stuck in my head.

~D

I signed my boyfriend up for his own subscription service: Dollar Shave Club. He got the package this morning. He was all “meh” at first until I made him open the envelope. He obviously doesn’t share my love for subscription boxes. That’s probably a good thing though!

He was impressed with the design and weight of the handle. He was expecting a cheap plastic stick. I mean, we only paid $6 (for the 4X). I was impressed with how fast we got the package and that he got a free sample of Dr. Carver’s Easy Shave Butter. 🙂

He hasn’t tried the butter, YET, but he tried the razor and gave it a thumbs up. YAY!  So it looks like he’ll be getting his very own package each month.

If you want to save money on razors for your honey go HERE.
