JourneeBox Fall 2019 Review
1 of 20
Included is a highly detailed booklet with info about all of the products. The theme this month is "A Journee to the Jaipur", the pink city! Our booklet arrived this month tucked inside a stunning gold and peach traditional Indian wedding envelope. There is also a link to a themed playlist inside, which I played while I opened my box. It really added so much to an already exceptional unboxing experience!

Amer Earrings - Listed Value $85.00
FYI: Subscribers were able to choose between this aqua chalcedony shade or rose quartz, as well as wither gold or silver-plated finishes.
I am really excited that I settled on the aqua and gold combo for these earrings, though I can't imagine any of the pairings being anything but stunning. Admittedly, it took me a really long time to decide! The dreamy blue shade of these won out, and I love how the aqua pops against the gold. These earrings are also so gorgeously made. You can tell there is a lot of skill and love behind these faceted beauties. The rose-cut surface catches the light beautifully, and these have enough movement to cause more than a little sparkle. They are featherlight when worn and the gold plated brass doesn't bother my metal sensitive ears one bit.
I absolutely love these earrings. They are small enough for everyday wear, but they do not go unnoticed.

Trio of Essential Oils in Lemongrass, Cinnamon, and Ylang Ylang - Listed Value $35.00
I have a few diffusers in my house, as well as one on my desk, so I love getting essential oils in a box. I actually planned on buying a new bottle of ylang ylang since I recently ran out, so this bottle arrived at the perfect time! The floral oil is one of my favorites year-round and I learned in my booklet that it is closely associated with Vata energy, one of the three energies in Ayurvedic medicine. Vata energy is tied to air, movement, and creativity.
Also included was a bottle of cinnamon essential oil and it is one of the finest I have ever smelled. So much more natural and woody than "holiday" style cinnamon, it is earthy and wonderful. It can be used to balance out Pitta energy, which is tied to the metabolic system and is a fire energy.
Our final oil is lemongrass, and I truly believe I am one of the only people on earth who doesn't love lemongrass. I have no idea why. This oil was included to benefit the Kapha energy of the body, a water element energy that benefits bones and muscles, and is closely tied to feelings of love and forgiveness. I am going to try and combine this lemongrass oil with maybe cedar, orange, and lavender (my go-to mix) and see if I can learn to love it a little more, if only to help out my Kapha energy!

Recycled Cotton Textile Runner - Retail Value $103.00
FYI: This runner is huge! It measures 90 inches long (not including the tassels) and 16 inches wide!
Subscribers could choose from this neutral colorway or a pink and blue option.
I was excited about this runner from selection time, but I had no idea how nice this item would be. I also had a really hard time deciding on the color I wanted because both looked gorgeous. I went with the browns because I thought it might be nice for a holiday table, though normally I would always go for more color! This runner is legitimately thick enough to function as a rug, though it would be a little narrow. It is heavy, dense, and beautifully designed. I am so impressed. We have 9-foot ceilings downstairs in my home, and I have a little narrow wall that I plan on hanging this as a wall tapestry. It is far too pretty to be hidden away just for dinners!
I wasn't tall enough to hold this runner straight up, so here I am attempting to show it off anyway.

Laddus Duet - Listed Value $6.00
I had never tried Laddus before this box, but I love tasty snacks from all over the world so I was pumped! These are so delicious. They are sweet, but not so much that you feel like you are over-indulging. One of these was a Dried Fruit flavor and the other was Golden Grains. The fruit one was filled with dried fruits and coconut shavings and was so yummy! The Golden Grains was drier and more of a nutty taste, but also so tasty.

Jaipur Travel Bag - Retail Value $15.00
I really like having cloth travel bags for trips because I store shoes, accessories, makeup, and anything else in them! This one is made of cotton and features a beautiful Jaipur-inspired architectural illustration with lovely bright colors. This bag measures around 12 inches by 16 inches, so you can fit a lot in here! It closes via a gold beaded drawstring.

Roshnee Votive and Catch-All Jar - Retail Value $18.00 and $40.00
FYI: The larger vessel is a bonus item for annual subscribers. The smaller will arrive in everyone's box in their choice of red, silver, or gold.
The larger vessel measures just under 4 inches tall, while the smaller votive is closer to 3 inches tall.
I knew I would love these as soon as I spotted them in the spoilers. We burn a lot of candles in the winter and I prefer metallic vessels that multiply the warm glow of the flames. These beauties are inspired by Diwali, an Indian festival of lights that lasts almost a whole week! These votives are a perfect testament to a festival known for fireworks, candles, and lamps. The insides of these pieces are a glowing gold that looks so bright and warm when you burn a votive inside. Though they may look delicate, they are made of iron and are super durable, meaning you can enjoy them for years to come.
Pure coziness!
Verdict: JourneeBox was really exceptional this quarter. I loved this whole box and the experience that it was from start to finish. All of the senses were totally transported to Jaipur, from the scents of the oils, to the taste of the Laddu, to the songs of the playlist. This box is always exceptionally curated and the included info booklet has so much knowledge about each item and the inspiration behind it. You can tell this box is a labor of love for the Kevia team, and if you find yourself looking for a travel-inspired lifestyle box filled with ethically produced and sourced goods, this is a box you truly shouldn't miss.
