First Impressions
Lost in a summer haze where the air is sweet and time drips like honey. - Vellabox
It’s June, and summer has officially begun! This month’s Vellabox quote captures all the sunshine vibes and even reminds me of a sweet old country song. And if the quote doesn’t hit those warm-and-fuzzy feels, the scent definitely will as this month’s candle completely transformed our home into a summer oasis. Aromatherapy is a big part of my relaxation ritual, and Vellabox arrived right on time! If the soft flicker of candlelight and amazing scents give you that blissed-out, chilled vibe, I highly recommend this subscription. Plus, with a surprise gift and a curated Spotify playlist included, it’s more than just a box—it’s a whole experience!
Off 9th Candle Co. "Pixie" Candle - Retail Value $38.00
I absolutely love candles! To mark the end of my workday, I light one and watch the flame flicker—it’s the perfect way to let the day’s tension melt away. Since many candles contain harmful ingredients, I’ve made the switch from cheap, mass-produced options to high-quality, premium candles that are free from all those nasty chemicals. This month’s candle is made with locally sourced soy wax, premium fragrance oils, and 100% cotton wicks. The scent I received, Pixie, captures the essence of summer with its vibrant citrus notes. It features a beautiful blend of mandarin, citron, prickly pear, nectarine, pomegranate, cactus, amber, piñon wood, and solar musk. While citrus scents can sometimes be overpowering, this one is perfectly balanced—literally like a tropical umbrella drink! With an 80-hour burn time, it lasts far longer than most store-brand candles and even helps keep our furnace filter cleaner. I truly can’t say enough good things about this candle and this brand—it’s become a new favorite in our home!
This month's candle was created by Off 9th Candle Co., a company that was created to bring warmth, comfort, and a sense of nostalgia to your home and space. Hand-poured in small batches using an all-natural soy wax, our candles burn clean, with phthalate-free premium fragrances and cotton, lead-free wicks, these candles are amazing!
Now for the secret item!
Citronella Balm - Retail Value $10
June in Minnesota is the season of bugs, so this citronella balm arrived at the perfect time. Poured in a small, portable tin, this balm has a light citronella scent that goes on invisible and keeps the bugs away. Natural and easy to apply, this balm was great for applying during an outdoor wedding, and kept the bugs at bay. A great product I may not have tried on my own, this has become a staple in my purse!
Was This Box Worth It?
The Cost: $29
Vellabox is a fabulous subscription, and one I look forward to receiving each and every month. Because I burn candles almost everyday, I must utilize ones that are free of toxins and harmful ingredients. Vellabox does a fabulous job at choosing small brands that not only are safe to use, but smell amazing too! This month's citrus scent was absolutely decadent, and was one of my favorite candles to date. Add the Spotify playlist and Citronella balm, and my month was made complete! I already can't wait to see what's in store for July!
