BuddhiBox Essential Oils July 2018 Review
Each month's BuddhiBox includes a card with an inspiring mantra on the front and info about the contents of the box on the back. This month's inspirational quote offers an interesting change in perspective.
Oiliving Life Acalma Calming Spray, 1 oz. – Listed Value $12.00, for 1 oz. bottle (Buy a 4 oz. bottle here for $18.99)
As you might imagine from an essential oil spray that touts itself as calming, the dominant scent here is lavender. Always a favorite! It's supported by witch hazel, bergamot, chamomile, vetiver, and other oils, which add a little complexity to the aroma. I know that bringing scented items into the workplace isn't usually the tasteful thing to do, but today I found myself alone in my little corner of the office (my coworkers are working from home), so I decided to spray this oil blend around me before digging into a big project. I sprayed a little on myself while I was at it, and the lovely aroma lingered around for a bit. It was really nice!
Reiki Herbal Votive Candle – Spirit — Listed Value $5.00
I've received Astral Journeys reiki candles in past BBEO boxes and I like how faintly scented they are. This one has a vaguely vanilla smell to it. They usually come with these instructions for how to charge them up with good energy before lighting!
White Onyx Bracelet — Listed Value $14.00
On a hot day, slipping the cool stones of this beaded bracelet on my wrist was surprisingly refreshing! I'm a little on-and-off with wearing bracelets—I love the look of a stacked collection, but sometimes they get in the way while doing work on my computer. This summer, though, I've been in an "on" phase and I've already worn this white onyx style a few times. I wore it once with two wooden-beaded bracelets and another time with one featuring darker stones. I have small-ish wrists and it fits nicely without flopping around, but the stones are strung along an elastic strand so I can see this being a good option for all sorts of wrist sizes.
Crystal Point - Listed Value $10.00
This is perhaps the clearest stone I've ever owned. It's amazing! There are some naturally scratched surfaces and some cloudy sections, but the transparent parts are fun to hold up to different things and see how they visually transform. According to the included card, crystal points are considered "master healing crystals." It's a great stone to hold onto while meditating.
The Dreaming Yogi Meditation - Listed Value $10
This month's meditation was designed to put listeners in a state of "receiving." It's a 7:22 minute video intended to brighten the light that's already within you and fill you with vitality. It's guided by Meli the Dreaming Yogi, as always, and starts with a visualization of a light source, taking you through ways of spiritually interacting with that light to achieve a pureness. This was one of my favorite BuddhiBox Essential Oils meditations so far!
Verdict: July's BuddhiBox Essential Oils box made me feel refreshed from the moment I opened it to find a collection of peaceful, white-colored items inside. Its focus on healing, purity, and light was very welcome and very much enjoyed as I scattered these pieces throughout my home and life! BuddhiBox Essential Oils costs $15.95 (US shipping included), and its contents add up to about $51, which was calculated using a mix of listed and retail values.
