Subscription box reviews by a vegan mom of twins
Monthly subscription boxes for women. Boxes generally contain clothing and accessory items, beauty supplies, makeup, nail polish, jewelry, and more.
I’ve been sporadically receiving Kloverbox for review over the last few months, and am SO happy to have gotten February’s because it’s *awesome*!
If you’re not aware, Kloverbox is a monthly subscription box that features eco-friendly products ranging anywhere from snacks and personal products to makeup, household goods, and more. The purpose of the box is to introduce you to “cleaner” versions of the products you use on a daily basis. [read more…]

Each month will feature a different theme and a portion of the proceeds from every box is donated to charity.

The box! It looks to have gotten a bit wet in transit and the seal was actually broken, but thankfully everything inside was unharmed.
First look!
The 2-sided info card revealed that February’s theme was not only based on de-stressing, but also your emotional well-being and overall happiness. The card also included a list of everything in the box, along with photos and descriptions for each one. A portion of this month’s proceeds was to be donated to the Wildlife Conservation Society.
Happiness Is… 500 Things to be Happy About – If you could use a few more reasons to be happy… this book has 500 of ’em! I’m all about appreciating “the little things” in life, so thumbing through this book I definitely found myself relating to a lot of the “things”/illustrations scattered across its pages. A fun read when you need a little pick-me-up.
Hugo Naturals Calming French Lavender All Over Lotion – Lavender is well known for having a calm, relaxing effect so this lotion was a natural choice for a de-stressing box. Speaking of natural… it’s made with 100% pure ingredients & is soy-free, gluten-free, and vegan. Yay!
Torie & Howard Pink Grapefruit & Tupelo Honey Hard Candy – A tin of individually wrapped hard candies made with organic ingredients. I’ve gotten quite a few Torie & Howard candies in other subscription boxes and I’m always happy to see them. I like that they’re made with all natural ingredients and flavors… plus they taste pretty great. 🙂
Aloha Bay Love Chakra Energy Votive – This “energy votive” is said to stimulate the love chakra by awakening your sensuality, emotions, and intuition. It’s infused with 100% pure essential oils including rosemary, spruce, and cedar.
Valentine’s Plush Sitting Puppy – A cute inclusion for a de-stressing box. — Especially for Valentine’s Day. Calmbox included him “to have around when you need someone comfy to be with in a stressful time, or for that extra hug”. Aww.
Traditional Medicinals Organic Nighty Night Tea – If all else fails, it’s calming tea to the rescue! Five bags of relaxing “Nighty Night” tea were included to help you get a restful night’s sleep naturally.
I hadn’t reviewed Calmbox since July, so I wasn’t totally sure what to expect. Thankfully, it’s just as good as I remembered. The curation was great for a February box and it definitely had a “care package from a friend” vibe goin’ on. All of the items are high quality, useful, and smile-worthy. (Okay, the plush dog is from the Dollar Tree, but it was still a thoughtful inclusion!) Overall, a fun box to help brighten your month.
If you’d like to sign up for Calmbox, you can save $5 on your first month with coupon code “WELCOME“!
