BuddhiBox December 2017 Box Review

Info about Buddhibox December 2017

Here's the info card that came inside this month's box. At the top, it features an Instagram contest—if you snap a pic of your BuddhiBox and post it with the #buddhiboxyogis hashtag, you could win a $50 gift certificate to the BuddhiBox store.

 Yoga Pose in Buddhibox December 2017

Yoga Pose How-To for Buddhibox December 2017

There's also usually a card featuring a yoga pose. This month, it's Scorpion Pose, which I've never tried. It looks so advanced! The info on How to Access this pose is really helpful—it disclaims that yogis shouldn't try it until they're accomplished at a headstand, which I am not. This will be a good 2018 goal for me!

Mantra for Buddhibox December 2017

This box also sometimes includes a mantra or mindful quote. This one from Indian guru Osho is a fun, playful one!

Peaceful Warrior Pouch in Buddhibox December 2017

Makeup Bag in Buddhibox December 2017

My TaT Peaceful Warrior Zipper Makeup Bag - Retail Value $24.00, Listed Value $20.00

BuddhiBox's treats always come tucked in a really nice canvas pouch, which I've used for gifting, for packing jewelry in while I travel, for keeping a mini, homemade first-aid kit in while camping...they're super useful. This month's is a step above the typical drawstring pouch, though, in that it zips! I also love the idea of a "peaceful warrior" and will be proud to rep this bag wherever I go. It's meant to be a makeup bag, and it's a good size for that, but I could totally see myself using it as a clutch now and then!

Room Spray in Buddhibox December 2017

Spray Details for Buddhibox December 2017

Gypsy Soul Organics Family Tree Potion, 2 oz. - Retail Value $19.99, Listed Value 19.00

This spray calls itself a perfume/cologne on the bottle, but its scent is rather light, so I think of it more as a room or pillow spray. The link I provided above is for the same spray in a different bottle, with a different label. The bottle linked is glass, while the one I received is plastic. This potion mixes essential oils like clove, lavender, cinnamon bark, cassia root, pine, and cardamom, so it's very winter-y! If I had received it in time, it might have been nice to use around Christmastime, but I don't think it's so specific that it isn't still nice for the rest of the season. By the way, this product is vegan, cruelty-free, and handmade in Austin, TX. Yay!

Tinted Lip Balm for Buddhibox December 2017

Tinted Lip Balm from Buddhibox December 2017

Bear's Beauty Hemp Vegan Lip Tint, Blush Mint - Retail Value $4.20, Listed Value $8.00

I always love receiving all-natural lip balms in boxes because I, like everyone else, I'm sure, have the hardest time keeping track of 'em! I don't often wear lipstick in general, but especially in the colder months when my lips are so dry—they just end up looking cracked and peely and kind of gross with lipstick on—so I'm loving this tinted balm! As you can see, I have very fair skin, and the blush tint here only contributes the faintest pigment. It's a little more noticeable on my lips, and it's really lovely. The addition of mint in this tube makes for a wonderful tingly sensation, too! This lip balm is vegan and cruelty-free.

Druzy necklace for Buddhibox December 2017

BuddhiBox Geode Necklace - Listed Value $40.00

I believe this is the first time I've received a non-beaded piece of jewelry in my BuddhiBox! Don't get me wrong, I love me some mala beads and layering bracelets, but this slightly fancier offering is a beautiful treat for the holiday season. This piece features a sparkly druzy geode that's dipped in 14K gold, and the pendant is strung along a dotted chain. I love that the agate geode is in this soft ivory hue; it's very versatile and easy to dress up or down.

BuddhiBox Abundance Stone Set – Listed Value $18.00

The trio of small, vibrant stones included in this BuddhiBox-exclusive set are Amazonite, Aquamarine, and Amethyst. The three work together to work toward fearlessness and protection against negative energy, thus equipping you with a sense of abundance as you embark on a new journey or project, or simply go about your day. Also, visually, the cool tones simply look beautiful together. I plan to keep them on my dresser where I can take a moment to appreciate them every day and not worry about losing one! This set was also included in the BuddhiBox Essential Oils Box for December.

Winter Solstice Candle in Buddhibox December 2017

Votive Candle for Buddhibox December 2017

House of Good Juju Winter Solstice Soy Candle — Listed Value $6 (Buy a tin candle for $20)

This tealight candle is infused with allspice and berries and adorned with a cedar sprig, red jasper, and clear quartz crystals. I absolutely love this concept—it’s both unique and smells wonderfully festive! I was bummed to find that my candle arrived with the 2 stones having popped out, but they were easy to stick back in. I try to set aside time to honor each solstice, though sometimes figuring out exactly what to do can be a challenge. I'm receiving this candle after the Winter Solstice, though I did receive one in my BuddhiBox Essential Oils box in time, which I did light and set intentions over. I encourage you to poke around House of Good Juju‘s website—not only do they offer a ton of info about this candle and the care with which it was made, but they also sell all sorts of beautiful, infused and crystal-topped options. They would make great gifts.

The Verdict: Though I'm bummed that I wasn't able to explore my December BuddhiBox until after the holidays, I'm still really pleased with the items inside! I'm really impressed with the BuddhiBox-exclusive druzy necklace and excited about the Peaceful Warrior pouch. I also thought the tinted lip balm was a really thoughtful touch that will be useful to me this winter. I'm looking forward to see what arrives in the January box that might be useful toward fresh intentions and new beginnings in 2018.

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, you will receive the January box. Order by the 8th of the month to receive that month's box.

Value Breakdown: This box cost $39.95 after shipping and, based on list prices, contains $112.19 worth of products. That means, proportionally, I spent approximately the following on each item:

  • Makeup Bag - $8.55
  • Spray - $7.12
  • Tinted Lip Balm - $1.50
  • Druzy Necklace - $14.24
  • Stone Trio - $6.41
  • Solstice Candle - $2.14

Hi there, I'm Christen. I am all sorts of things:

🌳 a writer who loves to convey feeling

🌲 a mother who wants to have just as much fun as my kids do

🌳 an outdoors-lover who's achieved #1000hoursoutside with my family

🌲 a low-maintenance self-carer

🌳 a general hungry person with an unstoppable sweet tooth

You'll find me collecting stationery and squirreling away stickers, riding bikes and swimming with my family, creating outfits in colors and silhouettes that make me feel amazing, wearing big earrings, drinking beer and asking my husband to feed me harmonies to sing, taking my vitamins, living for dancing to live music, roping everyone into a craft, being human and vulnerable, and celebrating the phenomenon of being alive.

...and doing it all with energy, delight, and jokes along the way.

I got that candle and bag in a Yogi Surprise box. Loved them both!

Aren’t they great? The candle is one item I was definitely not mad about receiving twice in one month!

I wish brands would stop using racial slurs. There’s no excuse for it any more.

So, so many Romani people have spoken out about how the g-word & the associated stereotypes are actively harmful to them.

I’ve noticed that too as well as with the FabFitFun Roundie. It seems this companies use that word when it could easily be replaced by bohemian.

This is very thoughtful input, Marion. Thank you for sharing, and helping the rest of us to be more aware and careful.

This was a really nicely curated box. The necklace and candle I love.

I have that Peaceful Warrior bag up for swap if anyone’s interests.

I always enjoy your reviews Christen! Also I’m glad they had that disclaimer on the yoga pose for extra safety.
