Vellabox is a monthly candle subscription box that delivers top quality, natural candles from artisan makers across the USA. Every month they send you a different candle curated to their scent preferences and the season. Every candle featured in the box is made with 100% natural wax, clean fragrance, and cotton-braided wicks - guaranteed non-toxic, cruelty-free, and vegan.
In addition, you'll receive a surprise "lifestyle" item chosen along the same health-forward lines, from businesses with a focus on natural products and social good. They offer three box sizes that range in price, depending on subscription duration: the Lucerna (starting at $12/month), the Ignis (starting at $22/month), and the Vivere (starting at $29/month).

First Impressions
Blossom by blossom, spring begins: Vellabox
With warming temperatures and the sound of birds in the air, I have been longing for the months of gardening, and we are getting closer! In memory of my grandma, each year I plant dozens of dahlia bulbs, along with geraniums, poppies, and basically anything else I can get my hands on. Not only do flowers impress me with their beauty, but their fragrances get me too; this month's Vellabox does a fantastic job of bottling that up and turning it into a candle! Paired with a surprise gift and Spotify playlist, and you've got yourself an entire experience rather than just a box!
What's Inside the Box
CarteHaus "Blossom Festival" - Retail Value $38.00
Life is busy, and as a mom of two boys, I sometimes feel like I just can't keep up. Lately, our schedules have been busier than normal, and I have really gotten behind on my usual daily tasks. Today I finally caught up, and to celebrate I lit this month's candle to create a relaxing ambiance that left my living room smelling like a floral oasis. Featuring notes of Cherry Blossom, Ozone, Jasmine, Red Currant, Fig, Tonka Bean, Musk, and Sandalwood, this floral and spicy creation smells ultra-natural and sweet. The glass container and simplistic label gives off a high-end luxury look, while creating a scent throw that is quite impressive. A fantastic choice for this spring loaded box, this hand-poured candle burns extra clean, and is of the utmost quality. I can't recommend this brand enough!
Speaking of brands - CarteHaus is a company that creates hand-poured candles designed with new and distinct scents. Made from quality, natural ingredients, these home scents elevate your routine and help make everyday moments feel more like you! These soy candles truly are very fine products and fragrances!
Now for the secret item!
Bamboo Scrub Brush - Retail Value $10
This month's surprise item was one that was very useful. Made from natural bamboo, and sisal and palm bristles, this scrub brush was comfortable in my hand and really functional. Gentle enough for delicate surfaces, Hank utilized this on his basketball sneakers to give them an extra shine, and it took off some grime. Also great for dishes, this has become a must have in my kitchen that I really appreciate. The included card also suggested using this brush to clean out our candle jars once they are finished burning for a recycled use. Clever!
Was This Box Worth It?
The Cost: $29
Vellabox is one of my all time favorite subscriptions, and this month was great. With a fantastically floral aroma and bamboo scrubber, this curation invited spring in with a bang. With the combination of the candle, surprise item, and Spotify playlist, this subscription continues to leave me impressed. I already can't wait to see what's in store for May!
