Wash with Joe Body Wash






Wash with Joe body wash combines the beneficial properties of coffee with mint to make an uplifting everyday body wash. Coffee is not only an antioxidant, it is known for being a natural deodorizer and repairs UV damage. The body wash does a have minty scent with a hint of coffee. The body wash has syrup coffee consistency that lathers well and immerses you in a soft minty scent while  you sud up. I did notice I got a tingly feeling, which must be from the essential mint oil. This was especially welcome during hot my - where - the -@#!$!# - am - I- commute to work.

Goodies Co. May - Box 2





OMG! I love this box. Actually all I saw was the sour strings and the coconut water.  I didn’t notice the other stuff. I am not sure if that is saying much about me.


Wholly Guacamole   -  It   came with a  coupon for  a free product of your choosing. Which is nice because you get to choose but also sucky if  the store you carry it on doesn’t carry the products. The stores close to me don’t carry this which is okay, I am allergic to avocados but I was thinking of making a dip and bringing it in for work.  I also love how they gave a clip for your potato chips. We are huge fan of potato chips at our house and sadly enough  we don’t have a clip for our chips. Well now we do :)





Sour Power Straws - Blue Raspberry Candy Straws -  I love eating this when I was little. They are a perfect combination of sweet and sour. I ate the whole package in 20 seconds flat.


Sour Power Straws - Pink Lemonade Candy Straws -  These were a bit more sour than the blue raspberry ones. The blue raspberry is my favorite but I still polished these off.








Beanitos - Chipotle BBQ  - I am not a huge fan of BBQ flavored chips but these were tasty. I like the concept of a “health chip”. I would probably get these in another flavor as I don’t like BBQ flavor.





 Numi Organic Tea - Moroccan Mint - I am not a huge tea fan but I will occasionally sip me some of nature’s brew. I did like the sweet scent of mint and the tea itself had mild mint taste which I did enjoy. But definitely drink this while it is hot as when it cools down it isn’t as tasty.

 ico - Coconut Water -  My brother loves these so I didn’t even get to taste this.

Bronco Bob's - Mango Chipotle Sauce  - I didn’t have a purpose for this so I gave it to a friend who likes mangoes. Although, she wasn’t quite sure what to do with it.

SuperSeedz - Sea Salt - These tasted like sunflower seeds except towards the end they had nutty pumpkin taste.

 

California Olive Ranch - Olive Oil -   I am not sure how this qualifies as a goodie, but I used this to make stir fry. I couldn't taste really taste the difference from my normal olive oil.

Naturebox May 2013

 

I love that we can now pick our own selections. This is what I got this month -




Honey Nut Medley - These were delicious! I ate the whole bag in one sitting. They remind me of the street vendors that sell honey roasted nuts. These were almost like those except they were hard and super crunchy.  If you like the taste of honey roasted nuts but have sensitive teeth or don’t like them sugar coating to be crunchy, then these are for you.







Peppery Pistachios - I loved these. They just had the right amount of kick. The only downside is the facts on the back says 49 pieces and there is a serving size of 3. Trust me there is no way in hell that is possible. I am starting to wonder about the labels for the other snacks.







Toasted Cheddar Stix - They had the perfect mix of cheese and salty. Although, I did get really thirsty after eating this :)

Peanut Butter Nom Noms  - These were okay. They didn’t taste like cookie dough more like rolled oats with a taste of peanut butter. I wouldn’t be as disappointed if they didn’t compare it to cookie dough.











Everything Bagel Stix - These taste like a whole grain everything bagel but has a bit of a “healthy” aftertaste. Overall, it I like it but it will never replace my everything bagel.
