Conscious Box Review
http://consciousbox.com/
When I first heard about this monthly box I got excited. I am not new to monthly boxes, I started to get them years back on another site dedicated to WAHMs. Each month those who wanted the limited number of boxes had to scramble to get them and often I would not be on in time to order. Since then boxes have become very popular and are going mainstream. This box though is a bit different and right up my ally. Not handmade but very special all the same! It is a healthy and earth friendly box and best of all people can subscribe so they do not miss a box unlike that other group I was on long ago. I love that!
But is the box worth it?
YES!
I wish so badly I could put into words how wonderful this box is! The external box is recycled and very earth friendly. It is solid and sturdy protecting it’s conents, and the box felt heavy for it’s size too! When I opened it I instantly smelled something wonderful. I couldn’t put my finger on just what it was though. It came with a little card explaining the contents and a nice note. I however skipped it soon as I saw it was talking about what as inside as I wanted it to be a surprize.
It was clear right away why the box felt heavy, it was packed so well and so full, and so perfectly. I tried to repack it and forgot how it was done and could not close it all though I tried 4 different times! This was not just a box of samples, it had full sized items in it too and some great info. I loved this box! I have to say I went and ordered the August “Back To School” box with a day of opening this one as there was no way I wanted to risk not getting one!
Price: Monthly It is $19 a Month!
You need to not forget to order the box though every month because after the 6th of the month the order rolls to the next month meaning if you order August 7th you will not get the August box, you will get Septembers box!
You can however subscribe for 3 months or 6 months to make sure you do not miss a box!
I love this option!
Each month boxes are mailed on the 6th priority and get to places before the 15th of the month for us all to enjoy. There is no telling them what to put in the boxes but if you go to their facebook or twitter site I am sure they love opinions on what the box should hold next! They also have a pinterest site worth following!
Next month will be the August ‘Back to School’ Conscious Box! It’s going to have delicious, nutritious snacks, some great daily alternatives, and tons of other really fun stuff that everyone will enjoy, making it an AWESOME gift for all students, including K-12 and college. And yes, it’s great for students and non students alike, so you can gift it to anyone! Just remember, you’ve got to order before the 6th of the month! This is the only legitimately healthy care package we’ve seen this year, and they’re going fast!
Another great thing about this company is that they love for their followers to post about recycling ideas for their mailing box. This is what I did with mine:
My sugar gliders love this box turned into a treat hide out! The hole on top is just perfectly sized for them!
They are adorable right?
I really can’t put into words how much I love this monthly box. Even if you don’t think you can order one right now please go check out their page, just looking shows your support of the hard work they are doing to connect good earth friendly companies with great people who care about such things!

Love how you decided to use your box when you were finished! I do the same thing with my ferrets.
How adorable! I love what you did with the box. I’ve been trying to think of something to do with mine. These boxes are packed full and so well! I can’t wait to receive the one for August.
I love these boxes! They are packed so full with GREAT stuff. I look forward to getting my box each month.

I can’t wait to see what next month has!
I THINK CONSCIOUS BOX IS TOTALLY NOT ECO CONSCIOUS AND A GIGANTIC RIP OFF. THIS IS ABOUT CONSUMERISM AND WASTE. 1)SAMPLE SIZES ARE A WASTE SO IS USING THE GAS TO SHIP THIS. 2) THESE ARE SAMPLES FROM ESTABLISHED COMPANIES. THE POINT OF THIS IS TO INTRODUCE YOU TO NEW PRODUCTS 3)THEY NEVER PICK UP AT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TRY TO HOLD UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS TO SUBSCRIPTIONS. I RECEIVED 8 JUNKY SAMPLES NOT WORTH $3. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND IF YOU ARE A BUYING NUT, USE THE DEPARTMENT STORE OR YOUR LOCAL HEALTH STORE.
I will say that after months of getting these boxes I just canceled my monthly order with them. I still think they are a great company but I was finding repeats of samples and they just where not fitting smoothly into our lives anymore. I really loved the above box though! I think I will try the company out again in a couple of months!
