First Look Of Insisde

"Every month our team of three family members sends a beautifully packaged box filled with a variety of sample products hand selected for its unique, delicious or purely fun qualities. We sample each and every item to make sure it meets our high standards (I know..it’s a tough job..)."

I love the note from the owners. It really leaves a personal touch.

1. Half Pops .75 oz
2. Oats Granola
3. Scrubz Bye Bye Makeup Remover
4. Mayflower Soaps
5. Eco Teas
6. Char Crust

I like that this snack is gluten free and it was in one of my favorite flavors aged white cheddar, but I will not be trying the Half Pops. The worst part of popcorn for me personally is the kernels and that's why I stopped eating popcorn. But when I showed the hubby this product, he had a childhood memory and stated that was his favorite part eating popcorn. These will be passed to him. Valued at about 1.49.

I recently started loving granola as me and my hubby started eating more healthy and I was excited to see these in my box. The sample that I received was in Dark Chocolate and they were delicious. With Oats Granola it is wheat, dairy, and GMO free. I loved that it had pieces of pecans, walnuts and almonds. This products isn't sold in the state that I live in but I will be ordering some online. Valued at about 1.75.

How Cute ! What's Inside?

I don't usually wear makeup, but when I do I find that it is hard to remove. I loved that we had this sample of Scrubz Bye Bye Makeup Remover and I must had it has a very cute name. I love the fact that it is a Natural cleanser that has a blend of 8 natural oils including jojoba and olive oil. This products has no smell to it which is a plus to me. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping we can try more of their products. Maybe a body butter or scrub. This product is valued at 3.00.







I love soaps and a soap that I have been dying to try is a goat milk soap. I received Mayflower Soaps goat milk soap and I can't not wait to try it out. I love the mild and clean scent of this soap which was fragranced in almond and that it is a natural color. Mayflower soaps states that their soaps are made by hand with goat milk straight from their form to make this soap. We received about at 2 oz sample of soap. This product is valued at about 2.00

As soon as I pulled my cloud 9 box out of the packaging, I was wondering what this wonderful, sweet smell was. I found that it was the ECO teas. I received 4 sample packs of the Tulsi tea. It states that is it used in India for medicinal and religious purposed and that it reduces the harmful effects of stress, reduces inflammation, supports the immune system, increases endurance and antioxidants. This sample is valued at .88.

I love good seasonings, especially for the summer (grilling season). Char Crust All America Barbecue seasoning is a dry-rub seasoning for all meat and fish. It's stated that it is 100% natural and that it is Kosher. I will be trying this rub of the weekend. This sample is valued at about .69.

Overall I was and still am happy of the contents that I received from Cloud9 sample box. I received this first box for 7.50 and received a box totaled at about 9.81. Not bad and I loved the variety of the contents. If you would like to try Cloud9 Sample Box, you can by clicking on the link and you can get your first box half price too as I did by entering the code save50.

First Look When Opened

First Look Of Insisde 

This month are Goodies Co Box was a little smaller but still had great value

Contents

1. Fruit Water Strawberry Kiwi
2. The Better Chip Spinach and Kale with Sea Salt Chips
3. Cosmos Creations Salted Caramel
4. Cherry Lovers
5. Multi Grain Crisps Sea Salt - Missing

I don't drink sodas and I was excited to see a new product by Coca Cola, Fruit Water. The flavor I received was strawberry kiwi. It was wonderful and refreshing. It had the taste of strawberry soda minus the calories and all the sugars. My son and brother loved it also. I have seen them at a store near me and will be purchasing in the future. This product is valued at 1.25

This was the most interesting product in this months box to me. Now I love the flavor of spinach but I wasn't
a fan of it in my chips. I attempted to eat them by themselves and you can really taste the spinach. I also ate them with salsa. Although the tasted better with the salsa, I'm not a fan of this item and can't say that I will be buying them in the future. This product is valued at about 1.00.

I really dislike popcorn, not because of the flavor but the kernels were always a problem for me as a kid. I was happy to see the Cosmos Creations Salted Caramel. They were light and airy with the taste of caramel popcorn but without the kernels. They are also gluten free and no GMO corn.  My son really enjoyed them too. This product is valued at about 1.25.

Never thought I would say this but I love Cherry Lovers. I really enjoy jelly beans and this is what this product reminds me of. I love that they give you a variety of ways to enjoy the cherry with cool flavors from cherry cheesecake to cherry cola, these were wonderful. I will be buying them in the future. This product is valued at 1.29.

I was a little hurt to see I was missing an item this month but I assume it happens when your business grows. I will review theses based on me having them before in the past. Normally I love anything that is flavored with sea salt but this product lacks flavor to me and is not something I would try in the future.

Overall, I still love my Goodies Co. subscription and will not be cancelling. They have the best value for the boxes that they send and it can't be beat. I have also recently signed up for the Goodies Co. kids box which I can't wait to review.

July Love With Food Box

This is my second Love With Food box and again I am excited to receive me. It stumps me how they can pack a box so little with a variety of different items

What is Love With Food?

Each month you receive a box, you have the ability to earn points by doing reviews to get free products. Also for each box you purchase, meals are donated to food banks in a fight to end hunger.


Fun on the Boardwalk

Each Love with Food box has a theme and this months theme was Fun on the Boardwalk. When I think of boardwalks, I think of junk food that is seen at carnivals. I think of peanuts, pretzels, corn dogs and candy. It came with a flyer and on the back of it, it provides details of the products that are in the box and descriptions of each item. They were spot on with the theme.

The Contents

1. Kukuruza Hawaiian Salted Caramel Popcorn
2. Smoke and Cure BBQ Beef Stick
3. Nut Levington Rebel Mary Peanuts
4. Angel Mint All Natural Orange Salt Water Taffy
5. Twangerz Snack Topping
6. Uncle Henry's Homemade Sourdough Pretzels
7. Natures Bakery Strawberry Fig Bar
8. NECCO Classic Candy Wafers


Deluxe Sized Samples

I'm am not a fan of popcorn because of the kernels but when I did use to enjoy popcorn, caramel was my favorite. When I the Hawaiian Salted Caramel Popcorn, the salt made me a little iffy. Although I don't like popcorn, I did try one and allowed C to eat the remaining. I think they were going with the sweet and salty concept. I thought it was good but I would have enjoyed it more if it had less salt. This product is valued at approximately 2.72

I'm not a fan of jerky sticks so I will probably pass on tasting the BBQ Beef Stick. I will more than likely pass this along to a friend. This product is valued at approximately .62.

Oh my goodness, I was excited to see the Lord Nut Levington Rebel Mary Peanuts because I love peanuts. Theses were in the flavor of Spicy Bloody Mary. These were the first item that I grabbed out of the box and I was not disappointed. I loved the tomato flavor and then it hits you with spice. I will be buying this item in the future. They knew that we would love them so much, they provided a coupon for .50 off your next purchase of this product which comes in other flavors. This product is valued at approximately .69.

I'm not a fan of hard pretzels that aren't flavored but Uncle Henry's Handmade Sourdough Pretzel were huge. The tasted a little better than original pretzels because they were bigger. I didn't like the huge salt crystals that were on the pretzel. This is not a product that I will be buying. This product is valued at approximately 1.33.

I did not know they made fig bars in different flavors but when I saw the Nature's Bakery Stawberry Fig Bar it proved that they did. I have never tried fig bars mainly because of their look and smell but hey with strawberry flavor you can't go wrong. I actually liked this. It was soft and chewy and I loved the strawberry flavor. I couldn't actually find this product online but based on the price on Love with Food it is valued at approximately 6.50 for a 2 ounce pack. I would never purchase this item at that price although all of the flavors sound delicious.

Sample Products

Twangerz Snack Topping also offered as a sample. We got four different flavors in the box; pickle salt, lemon lime salt, lime salt, and chilli lime salt. I haven't tried them yet but I have a project I want to use the lemon lime salt on. On the pack it recommends sprinkling it on your fruit, vegetables, chips, popcorn, etc. A full sized of this item, 1.15 oz, is 6.50.















Angel Mint All Natural Salt Water Taffy was also put in the box. We got two pieces. This was my first time trying it and I must say I missed out on this item as a child. When I heard salt water, it automatically made me think that it would be salty. I loved the fact that it was not like a Laffy Taffy but it was soft, melt in your mouth and didn't get stuck in my teeth. I would actually buy these and you can get a 24 ounce tub for 11.00.






NECCO Classic Candy Wafers is as stated on the flyer, a blast from the past. Although I did see these in goody bags as a kid, I never tasted them. The flavor of them is a little off to me and I can't describe it but the kids like it and if they like it they will not go to waste.




The Extras

The extra things they put in these boxes are amazing. Last month was a 25.00 wine gift card and this mon th they put a 25.00 gift card for Hello Fresh. I was happy to see this because I have been wanted to try Hello Fresh which is a subscription that provides fresh ingredients for you to try three recipes of your choice. I will be using this gift card soon and can't wait to use it.

They also provided a coupon for the Lord Nut Levington peanuts and I will have to try to find where they are located because these peanuts are a must have.


Overall Thoughts

I love Love with Food . With the purchase of this months box, two meals were donated to the Oklahoma Food Banks. This is a subscription that I will keep because each month is exciting and has me anticipating the next months box.
