1st Love with Food box March 2013 review

I just received my very first Love with Food box a few days ago.

I gifted a subscription to my grandparents. They got their box first, so I already had an idea what was in there.

Kids 50 Fruit & Veggie Juice in Foofa's Pink Lemonade

Kids 50 Foofa's Pink Lemonade--
It tastes more like pink berry yogurt than pink lemonade. It's tart with a hint of lemon. It's not bad, but I wouldn't market it as pink lemonade.

Ola! Granola in Vanilla Almond

Ola! Vanilla Almond Granola--
It's a little bland. Its like I baked oats and added cinnamon. I don't taste much other than that. This would be a great addition to greek yogurt.

Wacky Apple's Wild Berry Flat Fruit

Wacky Apple's Wild Berry Flat Fruit--
This fruit leather was not overwhelmingly sweet or tart. It was easy to rip apart and snack on. If I had kids, I'd purchase this for them.

Salted Caramel Baked Corn From Cosmos Creations

Salted Caramel Baked Corn from Cosmos Creations--
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! They were not overly sweet. The texture is similar to Pirate's Booty. I could not stop eating these. I want to order more.

Chocolate Covered Wasabi Peas from Chocwasabi

Chocolate Covered Wasabi Peas from Chocwasabi--
The ones included were milk chocolate covered wasabi peas. The company does offer dark chocolate instead. I love chocolate and wasabi peas. I never imagined them together. I ended up ordering a 13oz bag from their website after trying these.

Green Tea Infuser from Revolution Tea

Orange Chocolate Green Tea from Revolution Tea--
I have had other teas that boasted chocolate flavors and did actually have hints of chocolate. Unfortunately, this did not. It tasted like kumquats with a light green tea finish. The likelihood of me purchasing this item is extremely low.

Mary's Gone Crackers in Sticks & Twigs Sea Salt Pretzels

Mary's Gone Crackers in Sticks & Twigs Sea Salt Pretzels--
These taste really grainy and there's a smidge of sea salt. I don't mind them, but I would not classify them as pretzels.

Dark Chocolate Orange Good Fortune Cookie from Emily's Chocolates

Dark Chocolate Orange Good Fortune Cookie from Emily's Chocolates--
This was already melted when I received it because it was left in my mailbox :(, but that did not affect the taste! I normally don't like fortune cookies, but paired with the chocolate was tasty.


I purchased a 6 month subscription and am glad I did :).

1st Graze Box March 2013

Oh My Gosh! Thank you Broke Beauty Blogger, Laura, for providing me with the Graze Box code! I had been browsing through her  blog, reading her reviews on different boxes, when I came across her subscription box tab and was taken aback by how many different types of subscription boxes are actually out there and how few I had actually heard of. Thank you Laura. I will post a link to her blog below in case you guys were interested in expanding your subscription box horizon and/or were curious about what other boxes offered.

Graze is $5 per box and sends 4 different, healthy, snacks per box. You have the option of choosing how often you would like to receive your boxes. I have mine set to every 2 weeks.

You can rate them after trying them on their site. The options they provide are : Trash, Try, Like, Love. If you really don't like something or are not interested in trying a particular item you can "trash" it and they won't send it to you. If you leave it on "try", "like", or "love" they are more likely to send those to you.

For my first box I received: Garden of England; El Picante; Honeycomb Crunch; and Fruit and Seed Flapjack.

Garden of England-- contains mini strawberries, black currants and apples.
I don't particularly like dried fruit and neither does my boyfriend. Still, we wanted to give everything a try and still did not like Garden of England. This one was trashed.

El Picante-- contains jumbo salted corn, hot chili peanuts, and mini paprika breadsticks.
This mix surprised me. I did not think I would like it because of the peanuts, but the flavors were balanced and complemented each other well. It was only slightly spicy.

Honeycomb Crunch-- contains milk chocolate coated honeycomb, raisins and [raw] almonds.
This was my favorite! The chocolate covered honeycomb was crunch and paired well with the almonds and raisins.

Fruit and Seed Flapjack-- contains rustic rolled oat flapjack with mixed seeds and dried fruits.
It was surprisingly soft and chewy. I thought it was going to be crunchy. It's a nice snack bar to have around.

Verdict: I can't wait for next month's box. I really am impressed with Graze box.

Bubble and Bee's Pit Putty Stick in Orange Vanilla

I have been making a slow, gradual change transition to more natural products and one of the products I decided to switch out was my deodorant. I've been really fortunate and have only gone through two natural deodorants before I found one that worked for me. The first one I tried was by LaVanilla in Vanilla Grapefruit and I couldn't wear it for very long before I would smell. Also, each time I wore it I had problems with my asthma, I don't know if it caused my asthma attacks, but that just added another reason to just take it back.

After doing more research I came across some reviews for Bubble and Bee's Pit Putty. Bubble and Bee offers Pit Putty in three different forms: Spray; Stick; and Cream. I ended up purchasing the Pit Putty stick in Orange Vanilla.

 Forgive my photo, I touched the label with wet hands and the ink bled. 

Orange Vanilla smells like orange creamsicle candy. It lasts throughout the day and does help with wetness for the most part. The only issue I have with this is that it does crumble. It has to do with the formula and the temperature the pit putty stick is kept at.

I tried to smooth out what's left of my Pit Putty stick, but wasn't too successful

Since I am almost out of the stick I decided to order the Pit Putty cream in Orange Vanilla. I have read that the cream works the best. It was shipped out the same day I purchased it and I am definitely looking forward to receiving it.
