BuddhiBox Yoga March 2018 Box Review

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Packing List

Here's the info card that came inside this month's box. Notice that most of the products are cruelty-free, organic, vegan, or more than one!

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Chair Pose

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Yoga Pose

There's also usually a card featuring a yoga pose. For this month they featured revolved chair pose. I think every yogi has struggled with chair pose at some point in their practice, and I'm certainly no exception. Because of a head and neck injury I had years ago, holding chair pose with my arms over my head puts a lot of strain on my neck, but adding a twist to it alleviates some of that pressure. So, while the twist might make it a bit more challenging, it also opens up an opportunity for some!

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Mantra

BuddhiBox also sometimes includes a mantra or mindful quote. This one is a little less reverent than some are, but I love love love the sentiment! So true!

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Farmtrue Coupon

This month they also included a discount card for farmtrue.com, a site that carries organic grass-fed ghee-based products. It's a beautiful site that I recommend poking around!

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Fresh Feet Wipes

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Peppermint Feet Wipes

Jasmine Seven Fresh Feet Wipes, 25 Pack — Retail Value $5.95

I received a pack of these Jasmine Seven feet wipes in my Yogi Surprise Box this month, too! I stand by what I said as part of that review, so I'll provide the same info here: as campers and festival-goers, my husband, friends, and I are all too familiar with the concept of using wipes to clean our feet! I can see them coming in handy after hot yoga (before putting your shoes back on) too. These wipes are natural and boast a really refreshing peppermint scent. I tried one on my hands and it left a refreshing, minty feeling after being used! I can see this pack coming in handy this summer and as I look in my crystal ball, I can also see myself buying more.

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Turmeric Tea Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Turmeric Tea Packets

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Single Serve Latte

Copper Cup Turmeric Latte Single Sachets, 3 count — Buy a 4-back here for $8.99

I was so utterly intrigued by this drink packet upon finding it in my box. I do love the flavor of turmeric and cook with it occasionally (plus its color is incredible—my all-time fave), but I couldn't quite imagine it in a latte. Per the suggestion on the back of the packet, I heated up 8 oz. of almond milk (our fridge is always stocked with the unsweetened vanilla flavor) and mixed it in. WOW was it delicious. Such an exhilarating blend of flavor and spice. This strikes me as an awesome alternative to coffee for those avoiding caffeine—in no way is its flavor comparable to coffee, but its invigorating qualities seem awesome for a morning boost. Plus, turmeric is said to have benefits such as fighting inflammation, acting as an antioxidant, and improving brain function. I want all of that in my life!

A single packet of this latte mix was also included in this month's BuddhiBox Essential Oils box.

Here's what the contents of the packet look like in my mug.

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Turmeric Cinnamon Latte

Per the directions on the packet, I heated the almond milk up separately and added it to the mix. I loved the suggestion of adding cinnamon, but instead of using it as a garnish on top, I sprinkled some onto the packet mix prior to adding the milk. As you can see, the cinnamon got a little chunky along the sides instead of mixing in. Not the most photogenic, but the flavor was wondrous. I took a few sips, then asked my husband if he'd like to try. I looked away for like 2 seconds and when I turned back he had polished it off. Haha! I can totally see us using the 15% discount code provided in this box to get our hands on some more of this surprisingly yummy stuff!

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Matr Boomie Scarf

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Handmade Scarf

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Circle Scarf

Matr Boomie Green Printed Circle Scarf - Listed Value $26

My eyes grew wide when I opened my BuddhiBox to find the color and pattern of this scarf waiting to greet me. I know I said turmeric yellow is my all-time fave color, but dark greens and olives are a close second. I was unable to find this circle scarf among the beautiful offerings on the Matr Boomie website (or any scarves for that matter), which is a bummer because I want you all to have the opportunity to own this scarf for yourselves! It's lightweight, it features a beautiful paisley pattern made with the batik style of printing, and it's accented with fun ball trim. Not only does this handmade-in-India accessory tick the boxes for being fair trade, sustainable, and benefitting a developing community, it's actually compostable! I can't imagine anyone wanting to discard this lovely piece, but if they were to, it's awesome that it can go back to the Earth.

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Turmeric Scrub

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Face Scrub and Mask

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Orglamix Scrub

Orglamix Yelo Turmeric Face Scrub, 4 oz. - Retail Value $29.00 (found on sale here for $21.00)

I love the theme of turmeric in this month's box! This product can be used either as a regular ol' scrub or as a face mask to be left on for about 20 minutes. It's made with all-natural ingredients, which is evident from the ingredients list on the bottom of the tub. While I totally see the value of face masks, they aren't something I do very often, but I hope to give this one a try at some point. Until then, I tried it as an "instant scrub" and was surprised by a few things. First off, the contents looked dried and cracked when I opened the lid, but once I dug my fingertips in, it was soft and moist. The scrub is very fine, so I was really gentle with it on my face. My skin instantly felt softer as I rinsed it off, and I noticed the palms of my hands were yellow, so I gave my face a couple of extra rinses. There is a small warning on the bottom of the tub that this product may cause staining, and I truly hope users see that before using so their towels don't end up yellow forever! Afterward, my skin felt epically smooth and rejuvenated. The ginger-y, citrusy scent lingered and was lovely. I super enjoyed using this product!

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Facial Sponge Set Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Facial Sponges

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Charcoal Sponges

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Hanging Charcoal Sponge

Artnaturals Konjac Face Sponge Set - Retail Value $10.00

I had never heard of a Konjac sponge before discovering this set in my BuddhiBox, but apparently, they're a whoooole thing! They're known for being extra gentle exfoliators, having a long shelf life, and being made with different natural ingredients. This package suggests the natural white sponge is good for daily use, while the charcoal-infused black sponge is meant for weekly use. They deep clean, open pores, and can be composted when no longer useful. The charcoal sponge touts aiding in the targeting of acne, but another online source tells me not to have too high of expectations in that endeavor.

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Sponge

Here's how the black sponge looks when wet. It took a good 30-45 seconds to soak through fully, but once it came to life, it did indeed turn from a hard, rough consistency to a soft one. A sponge I was using in the shower recently got a little moldy, so this will be a good replacement for when I'm feeling especially spa-inclined as I bathe!

Buddhibox Yoga March 2018 Yoga International Free Trial

Yoga International Free 30-Day Membership & Online Conference - Estimated Value $143.00

Finally, this card features an offer for Yoga International, an online yoga resource. In order to claim your free 30-day trial and conference, you have to follow the link listed on the back of the included card and create an account. Yoga International will automatically charge subscribers $14.99/month after the free trial, so in order to sign up, you have to enter a credit card number. I’m so terrible at remembering when my subscriptions renew, so I’ve set myself a calendar reminder for 30 days from now. As I was going through the sign-up process, I just assumed I’d want to use this awesome resource while it’s free then cancel after 30 days because I have no trouble finding wonderful classes on YouTube for free, but who knows, maybe I’ll love it! As the profile creation process, you are asked your level and what types of classes you’re looking for, and are given suggestions based on that.

The Ayurveda & Women's Health Digital Conference portion is 8 hours worth of video, featuring well-respected teachers in the Ayurveda field. They touch upon women's health issues such as balancing hormones, healthy conception, menopause, spirituality, and nutrition. Here is a trailer where they go into a bit more detail if you're curious! I truly hope I can find the 8 hours to set aside to get through this entire conference!

This free trial was also included in this month's BuddhiBox Essential Oils box.

The Verdict: I sincerely enjoyed everything I received in this month's BuddhiBox! Most months, I'm met with a few items I love and some which I plan to pass along to friends and loved ones, but March's offerings are all things I plan to keep. Why? Well, even the items that are more commonly sent in sub boxes, like face scrub, for example, are given a totally unique spin. They offer something a little extra from the average product. This box costs $34.95 plus $5 shipping (so $39.95 total). I used a combination of list prices and retail values to come up with a total value of about $78 for all the contents! That's using the pre-sale price for the face scrub and not including the Yoga International Membership & Conference coupon. With the YI coupon, it's a total value of about $220!

To Wrap Up:

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

Value Breakdown: This box cost me $34.95 + $5 shipping, which means that each of the 6 items in the box (including the YI membership) has an average cost of $6.66.

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.

Christen, Konjac sponges are awesome!! I discovered them recently when I got one in my Julep box. I have actually had very visible results with clearing my skin when using a charcoal one on my face. I use it with a couple squirts of Gaffer and Child facial cleanser applied directly to the sponge.

Oh, and I stick the sponge in a cup of water a few minutes before showering and it’s ready to go when I get in. I hope you like it as much as I ended up liking mine!

Hi Sara! Thanks for the tip, putting these in a cup of water first is a great idea.

I was using the Gaffer & Child face wash for quite some time (I received a bottle in two different boxes, so I’m all set for awhile) and loving it, but then I switched over to the Nyla system after receiving that box to review. I liked Nyla’s trio of products to combat dryness in the winter, but now that it’s officially rainy spring where I live, I think it’s time to switch back to Gaffer & Child. I’m about 18 weeks pregnant and have been breaking out the way I usually do on my period, so I’m hoping the charcoal sponge fixes me up!

As always a great and thorough review! What a great box. Some repeat items from other subscriptions (latte mix, konjac sponges) but I would gladly take more of these! Another practical box I would enjoy…

I had the exact same thought about not minding a few repeats here and there. Glad you liked this box as much as I did!!

Outstanding! Wish I had grabbed this.

Thank you for reading, Laura! This was definitely a particularly good month, but I find every BuddhiBox to have a lot of great products to offer. I hope you end up with one you like in the not too distant future!
