The Contents

1. Jaxn's Twice Baked Potato Stix
2. Geraldine's Key Lime Cookies
3. Vintage Honey
4. Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
5. California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Cloud9 Sample Box did a survey last month asking which products we would like to see out of three products, I was excited to see that every product on the survey was provided in the box.

Each box has a small note from the owners of the company.

The Review

The first thing I tried was Jaxn's Twice Baked Potato Stix. I was happy to see that this is one of Georgia's products. Not many things that I try are manufactured in my state. They were ok. They weren't like your normal Potato Stix where they are thin and crispy but these were actually thicker. I enjoyed sea salt and the cracked black pepper but sadly I won't be buying this product in the future.

I was happy to see Geraldine's Key Lime Cookies, also a Georgia manufactured product by the same company as Jaxn's. These were awesome. They were light and airy and they melted in your mouth. They key lime flavor were there. I say a big bag of these in my local grocery store and I can say that I will be buying these in the future.

I have just started really enjoying honey, especially whipped honey since I have purchased from the store recently. They sent us Vintage Honey in various flavors. I didn't get all three flavors but I did get two of the cinnamon and one lemon. I can't wait to try the cinnamon on a piece of toast.

We received a sample of Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Although I would love to be able to eat with coconut oil, the people in my household are allergic to coconut . I will be using the coconut oil in my hair instead. Coconut Oil is good for your hair for sealing moisture in to make hair stronger and also protects your scalp which will lessen shedding and breakage.

California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a sample that I have tried before and I actually like it, especially when I bake my salmon. I also enjoy using it when I cook pastas to prevent the pasta from sticking. These samples will come in use in my kitchen.

Char Crust is a sample that we have tried in a previous box but we have a different flavor, Original Hickory Grilled. There is nothing I enjoy more than have my hubby behind a grill and he loves trying new seasonings. This will come in use before the summer ends.

Lastly we have the Lisa Ann Skin Care. I was truly amazed that this was provided in this box. The valued of this product alone exceeded the price of the subscription box at 19.00 for this 4 oz butter. I love the coconut lime smell and as state a little goes a long way

Overall Thoughts

I was very pleased with my Cloud9 Sample Box. Although new, I can tell it will be one of those boxes that I am waiting impatiently for in the mail. Normally I would put the value of each item but a lot of items were samples, which wasn't bad because the full size product in this box was 19.00. It cost more than the subscription service alone. I consider anything outside of the body butter as an extra. This is not a subscription service I will be parting ways with any time soon.
