BuddhiBox Yoga Subscription Box: The Perfect Gift Idea!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post for BuddhiBox Yoga Subscription Box. I was sent a complimentary box in exchange for my honest opinion and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. (Please see my disclosure policy)

Are you looking for a gift idea for the person who has it all? BuddhiBox Yoga Subsciption Box would be such a thoughtful gift! BuddhiBox was founded by Maxine, an entrepreneur, yoga teacher, yogini, and resilient dreamer. She came up with the idea one day after teaching a hot yoga session. Students and fellow yoga teachers would ask her what products that she was using to help sooth achy muscles, to alleviate sweat and germs, etc….As she was driving home, she thought about how useful the products that she was using were to her yoga teaching and yoga practice. And, how by sharing them, it benefited others.

Enter BuddhiBox!

BuddhiBox is all about Discovery, Union, and Passion!

DISCOVERY

As active practitioners and teachers, the BuddhiBox team is fortunate to learn about and try new products often. Some products they love and purchase again and again. Some products they can do without. But the process of discovery is fun. And getting to share with others is even better.

UNION

Each month a box is delivered straight to your mailbox. In your box there will be 4-6 samples and full size products. If you like them, come back to the website and purchase a full size product for yourself, and maybe a friend.

COMPASSION

BuddhiBox believes that it is truly better to give than to receive, and they are committed to supporting non-profits. Each month they pick a charity and donate proceeds from the sale of the boxes to them.

The folks at BuddhiBox were so gracious to send me a box to review, and I was thrilled with the products in my box! The particular box that I received was created to inspire you to move into this new year with healthy intentions. In fact, each item in the box supports your mind, body or spirit.

Items included in my box:

– ToeSox Casual Socks for your yogitoes 
– Oiliving Life Protect Spray for your health
– Gaffer and Child facial cleanser for green beauty 
– Luna Lifestyle Co for your yoga practice 
– Pocket Journal for your gratitude practice
– Sage for energy clearing
– Yoga for you online subscription to get your buddhi on the mat
– Meditation Studio App for your meditation practice

While I loved all of the items in my box, I am really enjoying the Oiliving Life Protect Spray for your health and the Gaffer and Child facial cleanser for green beauty. We have been dealing with some sickness around here and the Oiliving Life Protect Spray for your health has certainly come in handy. I love how refreshing it smells! I am always on the hunt for a good facial cleanser, and the Gaffer and Child facial cleanser for green beauty is a great one! 

My overall opinion of the BuddhiBox Yoga Subscrption Box is definitely a positive one. If you know someone who is into health and wellness, or perhaps you just want to give a unique gift, this subscription box would be such a fun idea! In addition to subscription boxes, BuddhiBox also offers fun accessories, jewelry, and much more!

BuddhiBox offers several different subscription options. Decide which plan works best for your lifestyle. GO HERE to sign up and to see the options available. You will also receive 30% off your Subscription!

Pagoda® Snacks are the Perfect Bite for all of your Holiday Parties!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pagoda®. The opinions and text are all mine.

I can hardly believe that the holiday season is upon us! One of the things that I love the most about this time of the year is getting together with friends and family. Many of us are so busy during the year that the holidays are the perfect time to catch up. Of course, any get-together requires delicious and easy bites so that we can enjoy every moment together.

Some of my favorite bites for holiday entertaining are Pagoda® Snacks. Not only are Pagoda Snacks delicious, but they have zero trans fats, use no artificial food dyes, have no high fructose corn syrup, and no MSG. In addition, they are also easy to prepare, which is a huge plus in my book! The last thing that I want to do while preparing for a party is to be in the kitchen all day long cooking. Pagoda Snacks can be easily prepared in the microwave or oven and ready to eat in just minutes! They are so crunchy and delicious and are sure to be a hit with everyone at the party!

My family and I tried the Pagoda Snacks White Meat Chicken Egg Rolls and the Pork Potstickers that I purchased at my local Publix. Both were equally delicious and the taste was amazing! One of the things that I loved the most about the Pagoda Snacks was the freshness of each product. This is understandable as each product is made with fresh, quality ingredients.

The Pagoda Snacks White Meat Chicken Egg Rolls are made with the perfect combination of 100% white meat chicken, freshly-cut vegetables and authentic seasonings. They also come with a delicious Sweet Chili dipping sauce that is the perfect complement!

The Pagoda Snacks Pork Potstickers are equally delicious. Tender pork, freshly-cut vegetables, and authentic seasonings come together to create this delicious snack. Pan-fried or steamed, Pagoda Pork Potstickers are so yummy! Be sure to dip them in the Lime Ponzu sauce to experience a full-flavored and zesty bite!

The holidays are quickly approaching and you know what that means! It will be time for family gatherings and parties. If you are like me, and love to entertain, there will be many guests in our homes within the next couple of months. This means that my glasses and dishes need to look their best. I don’t know what it is about the holidays, but they also put me in cleaning mode! When it comes to the dishes, I always start with the drinking glasses, as they seem to be the most challenging item in the cabinet to clean. In fact, I noticed that my drinking glasses have a white film and spots all over them. While I do use my dishwasher on a daily basis, it seems that glasses are one of those items that need special attention several times a year. Thankfully, Finish has a product that offers a solution! Finish Jet-Dry Rinse Aid 16 oz. purchased at my local Target is a problem-solver! Finish Jet-Dry Rinse Aid speeds up drying, removes spots and residue, provides glass protection and delivers a brilliant shine. In addition, it has 5x power actions and a glass protection ingredient for drier and shinier dishes. It is also safe for septic tanks, so no worries there!

11 Hacks To Save You Money Around The Home

 (All posts may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy)

Here are 11 of the best hacks to save you money around the home:

1. Make a budget

Budgets are the best way to visibly see how much money you have, and how much money you can spend weekly or monthly without having to worry. It can also show you what you’re spending your cash on, which is great for sorting out the priorities and putting them at the top, while removing anything that isn’t needed.

2. Collect spare change

Keep a jar on your bedside table, and whenever you have loose change in your pockets, empty it into the jar. Keep doing this for the next couple of weeks and when you hit your first month mark, have a count and see how much you have managed to save so far.

3. Shop at the dollar store

Dollar stores are awesome, and shouldn’t be something to be embarrassed about. Why pay an extra $7 for wrapping paper or soap when you can get it for a dollar?

4. Rent a dress

Yes

, you read that correctly. If you have an important event or occasion that is coming up and you need a super fancy dress to wear, but you just can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars – rent one instead. There are stores that do this, or you can just keep the tag on, make sure you don’t stain it, and then take it back the next day!

5. Pay your bills online

Not only is it a lot more efficient because of the email reminders and the simplicity of paying online, but you will be saving the use of stamps and checks being sent out. Plus, going paperless is so much better for the environment.

6. Plan your shops wisely

Get the cheapest prices by purchasing items after the season is over, for example, buy holiday decorations after Christmas, get furniture at the start of the year and buy a barbecue in the fall. And make sure you stay up to date with the latest offers and clearances.

7. Close closet doors

Keep your energy costs down by making sure you close all the closet doors, that way you aren’t needlessly usin

g up the heat to fill a closet space. The same goes for any rooms that don’t need to be heated – close the doors.

8. Go on a DIY rampage

You can’t do everything, like water removal in a flooded basement or repairing your boiler system, and sometimes it’s important to admit that to yourself before you make things worse. But, anything that you can learn through various YouTube videos – take advantage of it and fix that squeaky door or the jammed cupboard.

9. Stock up on cheap gifts

When things are on sale, make the most of it and stock up on gifts for the year, this can be for birthdays, housewarmings, weddings, and so on.

10. Grow your food

Instead of going out and buying your fruit, veg and herbs – invest in the seeds and plant your own around the garden. It’s really simple to do once you get the hang of it, and you’ll be able to live a sustainable life off your little productive garden. You could even make your own jam and then sell it!

11. Hire a maid service

If you are strapped for time during the week and cleaning your house is too big of an ordeal, it may be worth it to set aside extra funds during the month to hire a maid service like Dallas maid service. This will not only be a time-saver, but you will also be thankful to have a clean home when you get home from a long day of work!
