KLUTCHclub ~ September

  • Posted on September 30, 2012 at 9:21 PM

SUPRISE I joined Klutchclub! I bet you didn’t think it would take me this long! 🙂 I don’t know why I waited. I absolutely love my box! There are so many items. That alone makes it worth the price. The cost runs between $16-18/month depending on how you sign up (1 month, 3 month and 12 month subscriptions are available).

September’s box is spa themed. There is over $100 worth of health and wellness products to try out.  Here is what I got.

Soothing music CD from Sequoia Records. ~ “The Celtic Lounge II” These CDs are sought after at spas, healing centers and yoga boutiques everywhere.

Anatomy Naturals Dead Sea Mud Mask ~ 100% natural mask is made from mineral-rich mud from the dead sea. This is an anti-aging formula that hydrates and purifies skin while healing acne and stimulating circulation. I opened it up, sniffed it and threw it away. The smell was putrid! Mac (my cat) wasn’t happy about the smell either! LOL

Lauren Brook Cosmetiques Lip Gloss ~ Winterberry. I really like this. The color is subtle and the texture is velvet soft. This tiny sample will not last long. 🙁  I may buy a full-sized one from the website.

Natural Vitality’s Natural Calm Magnesium Powder. ~ Organic Raspberry-Lemon flavor. NO THANK YOU. It’s a nice sized container.  WHO WANTS IT?

(Can) Zenify ~ The life stress free drink. No info given, but the can says it’s all natural. Has I-theanine that produces serotonin and dopamine levels to promote relaxation and concentration. It also has Gaba, a natural calming agent that enhances relaxation and memory support.  No flavor was listed, but I tasted grapefruit. It was carbonated.

EBOOST Natural Energy Booster Mix (orange packets) Orange flavor that you mix with water for energy.

EcoTrek Fitness Whole Food Bar ~ Chocolate Peanut Butter. Contains 6 servings of fruits and vegetables. Gluten-free, 100% natural, non-dairy and has 10g of protein.

Taylors of Harrogate Tea (4) Green Tea/Jasmine, Green Tea/Lemon, Organic Peppermint & Organic Chamomile. YUM They all sound wonderful!

Creme Company Women’s Shave Cream ~ (tube) Smells like trees, I don’t like it. My BF just says it smells like soap and promptly took it from me. LOL He likes creams rather than can stuff.

Last, but not least Dream Water ~ Snoozeberry (blueberry/pomegranate). It tasted really good, but I didn’t notice relaxation or sleepiness. I’d like to try it again.

I almost forgot. I also gota $50 gift card to Zeel.com & $50 to iTrain mobile workouts.

I may not have liked everything in my box, but I was still super happy with it and can’t wait for next month!

 

Disclosure: 

I paid for this box on my own.  All opinions expressed about the products and company are my 100% mine.

Bulu Box ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 21, 2012 at 10:20 PM

Once again WOO HOO FOR BULU!  Here’s to another month of discovering a healthier ME. Here are the 5 samples + bonus I received from Bulu Box this month.

Elementz Nutrition ~ A protein shot. This little 2.5oz shot contains as much protein as four eggs without fat or extra sugar. This one bottle retails for $5- half the cost of your Bulu box right there!

Vplenish ~  It’s a taste free vitamin boost that you can mix into anything. Does not contain calories, gluten, caffeine, artificial colors/flavors or preservatives. You can get 2,000 of these packets for $12.18 on Amazon. Making these samples worth less than a penny each.

 

 

Click Espresso Protein Drink ~ A kick of espresso that meets the sustained energy of protein. It contains 2 shots of espresso, 15 grams of protein and 23 vitamins and minerals with only 120 calories. This sample is worth $1.93 (Came with $5 and free shipping off your first order)

BONUS Shower Pill ~ Athletic Body Wipe. It’s the perfect body wipe for that midday workout when you just don’t have time to take a shower and freshen up after. The cloth is 9″x 8″ and seems to be really thick. You can get a 10-pack for $12.50 making this sample worth $1.25

 

 

Probulin. ~ 5 day supply! This product is meant to replenish the good bacteria in your digestive system with seven strains of live microorganism probiotics.   This sample is worth $8.33 (This also came with a web address to get a free copy of Probiotics for Dummies AND 20% your order.)

Immuno-Viva Defend + Energy ~  This is meant as a boost of energy as well as support for your immune system. One of these packets (mixed with water) has 4x the amount of calcium as a glass of orange juice. It’s also a way to provide natural energy and hydration. Each packet has a sample value of $1.17 (Also came with a 20% off coupon)

 

 

After totaling values it appears this box is worth $18.85. Almost double the subscription cost! This box came with one final offer. 🙂 I got a scan tag to send a FREE box to a friend.

July Bulu Box Review

  • Posted on August 1, 2012 at 11:00 PM

I got my first Bulu Box* a few days ago. I would have posted sooner but I’m too preoccupied packing for our trip. 🙂 So before I get my August box I thought I better share July’s box. I have tried only one of these products, the Coromega, as for the rest, I’ll update when I do.

The Cost: $10 a month (Use coupon code woohoo10 for your first month FREE!) The Products: Samples including vitamins, supplements, sports nutrition, meal replacement, diet, energy, protein, detox, digestion, sexual health, herbs, natural remedies, endurance and more.

July Bulu Box

 Ola Loa Energy Multivitamin drink mix.

(2 packets: Tropical and Cran-Raspberry) – Value $1.50 Total

From Bulu Box: “With refreshing effervescent delivery, your body will absorb 98% of the nutrients in Ola Loa. Stir into water or juice!”

 

 

 

 

Coromega Omega3+D Squeeze ~ Value $1 Total

From Bulu Box: “Omega-3 and Vitamin D help ensure the health of your heart. Eat one yummy packet alone or squeeze it onto your favorite snack.” Adios fishy burps.

I’ve actually tried these and I don’t mind the taste at all. It reminds me of an orange dreamcicle ice cream. They are convenient to tote around too. It’s also true about the fishy burps. NONE 🙂

 

 

Detour Lower Sugar Whey Protein Bar (Caramel Peanut) – Value $2.30

From Bulu Box: “With up to 83% less sugar, this bar delivers all of the body-shaping nutrition of the original but with amazingly low levels of sugar.”

There is also a code for 25% off and online order from DetourBar.com. The code is DET25. It expires the end of this month, but with the code you can get these as cheap as $1.04! That is a steal for any nutrition bar.

 

 

 

Green Tea Hawaii Packets – (4) Value Approx $5 total

From Bulu Box: “When stired into water, Green Tea Hawaii gives you the full benefits of 70 regular cups of green tea in 2 packets.”

 

 

 

 

 

pure matters for everyday health Vitamin D3 30 day capsule Value 12.95 but no other info given.

 

All in all I’m happy with my first Bulu Box. It got well over $10 worth of product and I’m genuinely interested in trying each one.
