It turns out that I haven't gotten any less busy yet, so the blog has just been an afterthought now. So now I am deciding to take a break. This blog break will last for about two months, a pretty long period of time. I can't wait to start reviewing for all of you again once the break is over! But now free time is just something I don't have much of at the moment (as you can see by this peice of crap post).<div><div>Thanks for your understanding.</div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05266029766512801768noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322654323244527417.post-80041640847394201562013-08-22T20:32:00.001-07:002013-08-22T20:32:18.093-07:00August Love With Food Review + 10$ coupon<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been really loving <a href="https://lovewithfood.com/?m=b&ref=iLG">Love With Food</a> (referral link) lately. For their summer boxes, I think all of them have been a hit so far (this one was good too). <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Love with food is a gourmet snack subscription box that has been around for awhile, well as far as subscription boxes go. It is $12 a month, but the price goes down when you buy longer plans. This box is special because they donate a meal with every box, so that should make you feel awesome. Every month has it's own theme and the past couple of boxes have been summer themed. This one was Backyard BBQ.</span></span></span></span><br />

I had a late night craving for salsa and this satisfied it completely.. It tasted really natural and better than most salsas I've had. But I am pretty sure some people would find this too spicy. I didn't think it was at all, but I am used to spiciness at most levels. My guess is that some subscribers aren't exactly used to a lot of spiciness. But I loved it.</span></div>

Not as much as I did in February, but more.. I will get less busy in the winter, but then I might have practice for a percussion group for over 24 hours a weekend! How crazy, now, on to the review!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
As you all probably know by know, I have a small (gigantic) obsession with Japanese candy. There's a subscription for that now! It is called <a href="http://candyjapan.com/">Candy Japan</a> is a <b>bi-monthly</b> candy subscription. Twice a month, they send you "interesting and delicious" candies in an envelope for you to try. They say to expect 2-6 candies per month. This subscription is $25 a month, so about $12.50 per envelope.</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The owner of this subscription kindly sent me their last July shipment in exchange for an honest review. </span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okashina Mizuame- See below for a more detailed explanation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Coris Whistle Candies- I've hear of these before and always wanted to try them. You simply put them in your mouth and blow, and the magic of science produces a really high-pitched whistle sound. I'm sure this would get on someone's nerves, but I liked it since I am really bad at whistling. I think it was soda flavored, and I really like soda flavored things because that is kinda a trademark of Japanese candy. Soda flavored things taste kinda like a bubbly soda pop, or Ramune if you have had that. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-HE-B7L0ufws_ay9q3PeUHIpAjJgKAwnOEhLLezJGrbmaGsa3n1Yld65WI5chz8x_pvOX365-WrQPaMscaGumk_tJJ52esErwH3gnoreKjvzbZAZr_emqOvaY2uvF7lXf1yvpq_xPKXj8/s1600/CAndy+Japan+2.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-HE-B7L0ufws_ay9q3PeUHIpAjJgKAwnOEhLLezJGrbmaGsa3n1Yld65WI5chz8x_pvOX365-WrQPaMscaGumk_tJJ52esErwH3gnoreKjvzbZAZr_emqOvaY2uvF7lXf1yvpq_xPKXj8/s320/CAndy+Japan+2.bmp" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Does this look familiar to you if you have read my blog before? I bet it looks like some Awesome Japanese Candy! This candy came with three different packets of flavored liquid sugar (basically) to mix together and stuff. The blue one was soda flavored, which I love, the yellow was lemon, and red was strawberry flavored. You start out by mixing one of the packets with another one in the plastic tray. You keep trying different flavor combos until you have all of the packets in the container.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKFIUUWSb750GqeauFktRklF3iX2yfCccnHbtfdRvrhCXBq6_CqgmhThpxZfM63blpNcHnkj-hWd7rM-6Zh95bgmGYFKr-_tZSZSQ7G7sdk28HssyoUDckMinI7AdF6RKRpFINTYiJ03An/s1600/Candy+JApan+3.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKFIUUWSb750GqeauFktRklF3iX2yfCccnHbtfdRvrhCXBq6_CqgmhThpxZfM63blpNcHnkj-hWd7rM-6Zh95bgmGYFKr-_tZSZSQ7G7sdk28HssyoUDckMinI7AdF6RKRpFINTYiJ03An/s320/Candy+JApan+3.bmp" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After all of the liquid sugar is stirred, this is the final product. I think the main thing about this candy is that it is supposed to taste like grape at the end. It definitely did! I didn't know soda+lemon+strawberry=grape!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNuRyc58_Ic8ke0AOqIaIu2QodunuetQXbseU5F6_QO9ox6x_BQxfRaPsGYs7KdxaXKt5aO7rqR98UphFpShyphenhyphen5sRgPbuXPLw8Z9oYzi4SSpqb2V_yjLxJc_Vn1suLiU_UIhxsyLqowA9cs/s1600/candy+japan+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNuRyc58_Ic8ke0AOqIaIu2QodunuetQXbseU5F6_QO9ox6x_BQxfRaPsGYs7KdxaXKt5aO7rqR98UphFpShyphenhyphen5sRgPbuXPLw8Z9oYzi4SSpqb2V_yjLxJc_Vn1suLiU_UIhxsyLqowA9cs/s320/candy+japan+4.JPG" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A lot of Japanese stuff in general comes with free bonuses. The whistle candies came with a little box with this novelty ring. This may be a nice surprise to some kids.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for the value of this box, I am very confident that these candies didn't equal the $12.50. But then again, shipping is super expensive, and you are paying for things you can't get anywhere. So I think it is a matter of personal opinion if it is worth the money. For a candy addict like me, it would definitely be worth it. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This past week up until now has just been work. My only free time has been at night.Hopefully I'll post more often again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/" style="color: #015782; text-decoration: none;">Skoshbox<span id="goog_1795268971"></span></a> is a new Japanese monthly subscription box. Ever since dumpling box went under, I've felt this lack of asian stuff being delivered to me. The timing of this box was perfect! As you most likely know, I am a huge fan of Asian cultures. Not only do they send food and stuff, but they also send stationary, like fun pens and erasers! Each box also has a card with a description of every item. Even though I am not Japanese, this box still interested me a great deal. This box is $12 a month including shipping, and I think that is on the cheaper side of subscription boxes.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">This box was founded by two close friends that have lived in Japan and the U.S throughout their lives. The two friends were basically surrounded by Japanese culture all the time. They saw that access to a variety of Japanese stuff was not only scarce, but also quite pricey. So then bam! Skoshbox was born.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This month's box came with chopsticks! I have a bunch of matching chopsticks in a drawer so these would look weird with them. I'm sure they'll go to use though. Skoshbox also includes an info card with a tidbit of information about each product; I always love it when boxes have these. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elise Stick- This was a wafer like stick filled with matcha green tea flavored filling. I love green tea flavored stuff, and this was no exception. It was a nice light snack.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mini Salad- This were rice crackers with a flavor based of salad dressing! Pretty tasty in my opinion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) Umaibo- These are flavored puffed corn sticks. Umaibo comes in a bunch of wacky flavors! The ones included were relatively mild, just cheese and corn. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fuwa Fuwa Jelly- The Japanese sure do like their jelly candies! This one had marshmallow and melon flavored jelly/jell-o. I thought it was pretty tasty, but it got really sweet, almost too sweet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Milk Caramel- Caramel is always welcome in my opinion. This wasn't the best thing I'd ever have, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Melon gummy Candy- I think I got this in a Dumplingbox (discontinued) once! Or something similar. Like Jelly, the Asians also like melon flavored things. I drink melon flavored milkis (milk flavored soda, yeah it sounds weird but I like it) and ramune (kinda like a japanese sprite) all the time! Oh and the gummy was pretty good.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grape Gummy Candy- Like the melon flavor, grape is used in most asian stuff. It was also tasty. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cheese Kibun- Cheese flavored rice crackers? Sounds good to me. I love cheese and most things relating to cheese, this was a delicious little snack. Very flavorful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Suzume no Tamago- This literally means "Sparrow's Egg." Just peanuts coated in a savory rice cracker shell. Savory rice crackers can make anything taste good! I usually don't like peanuts, but I did like this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Almondrush- This was just white chocolate with a ton of almond slivers inside. I liked it a lot, more than I thought I would actually. The almonds had a nice flavor and added some texture to the otherwise mediocre white chocolate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It is $19 a month including shipping, and you get your first month free if you sign up for an annual plan. They send 5-7 items each month, not including bonus things like recipes and things of that nature. Use code <b>5OFFBSTOWED01. </b>As you could probably tell by now, I have a slight obsession with food, so I was very happy when Bestowed gratuitously sent me this box to review. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.californiaoliveranch.com/">California Extra Virgin Olive Oil</a> ($0.60)- Olive oil is something that will always go to use.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.drpraegers.com/">Dr. Praeger's</a> FREE ITEM coupon ($4)- Dr. Praeger's sells mostly veggie burgers I think. I've only had a veggie burger once in my life before, so I think they deserve another chance. Free coupons will always be used in my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Info booklet- I really like it when boxes include an info packet with descriptions of all the items. This one had really long descriptions, and even had some lifestyle tips on the back!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total value of this box was about fourteen bucks. But this was just a review box, so I think it was just to see what kind of products they would send. I checked out reviews of the monthly box and all of them were above the $20 range, so that's nice. As for the products, I would say they are pretty awesome. All of them were/are going to be used very shortly. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> First you mix the big orange packet with some water in the provided compartment and get this weird dough stuff.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Then you make the blueberries. You make them with the purple packet and some water. Then you pour your liquid in the blueberry molds and wait a couple seconds. I added too much water so, as you would expect, the blueberries weren't very solid. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> More toppings! You make some whip cream and some sort of syrup with this more powders and more water! The picture above shows the whipped cream. </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yeah, not nearly as good as the one on the packaging, but whatever.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The waffles- These weren't too great, but they weren't bad. I thought they tasted a little bit like soggy bread, but not really. It is really hard to describe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The blueberries- These tasted like blueberry flavoring, which isn't' too bad in my book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Syrup- This tasted kinda like normal strawberry syrup, yum!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whipped cream- This actually tasted like whipped cream, which creeped me out to some extent.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everything together- Pretty good! Really sweet and waffles! I would say most of the poppin cooking kits are more fun to make than eat, but they aren't bad to eat either!</span></div>

At first I was kinda meh with them, but I've thoroughly enjoyed the past couple of boxes. Love with food is a gourmet snack subscription box that has been around for awhile, well as far as subscription boxes go. It is $12 a month, but the price goes down when you buy longer plans. This box is special because they donate a meal with every box, so that should make you feel awesome.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use code <b>FBGIFT</b> for two bucks of your first month (basically free shipping). I didn't feel right putting coupon in the title of the post since it is only for two bucks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This month's theme was "Under the Boardwalk." I think they're trying to go with fun summer themes for now. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.kukuruza.com/" target="_blank">KuKuRuZa Gourmet Hawaiian Salted Caramel Popcorn</a> ($3.00?)- Salted Caramel seems to be all the rage, and I love it! Salty and sweet make a perfect combo in my book. This was a lot better than the popcorn they sent in another box, because you could actually taste salt in this one!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://unclehenry.com/" target="_blank">Uncle Henry's Handmade Pretzel</a> ($0.50?)- This was like a giant version of mini pretzels (like Rold Gold). I liked it, but I think it may have been too crunchy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://naturesbakery.com/" target="_blank">Nature's Bakery</a> Strawberry Fig Bar ($1.75)- These were awesome. Kinda like fig newtons, only better. The strawberry flavor was definitely noticeable, and really complimented the fig. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.vtsmokeandcure.com/real-sticks.html" target="_blank">RealSticks</a> BBQ flavor ($0.82)- I was a slim jim addict as a child, and this was like a step up from them. It had an awesome smoky flavor. </span></div>

It is actually different flavors of salt. The ones I got were Lime, Chili Lime, Lemon Lime, and Pickle. I had the Lemon Lime on some popcorn with some ranch powder and it tasted awesome. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.necco.com/Candy/Wafers.aspx" target="_blank">Necco Wafers</a> ($0.20)- I find it funny that it says "The original candy wafer" on the packaging. Because there are literally no other candy wafers out there. And Necco things aren't very good, just for the nostalgia.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Fresh $25 off "gift card"- I am not sure if they deliver to my state yet, so I'll see if I can put this to use. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total value of this box was $8.41. This was a pretty sub par value, but I loved the products and how they matched with the theme. And the meal costs something I'm sure, but probably not $3.50.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Part four of my Japanese Candy series! This one is also one of the more simple ones. I am saving the best for last (the candy sushi kit).

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> See, this one is pretty simple. Only five packets of stuff!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCPxxtKu7Pf4wiIYzX_zaWakB6u08M-vz9zBAD_T5CNjN_-mii8LaKtTqyErzRuOzD6oEoxbptu8GZPskBpESDqh_GoyqfVd-t_uJCWPXCGvgHNmYgylaQdsTaiM62udVyLkEUITbHI1Fx/s1600/Meiji+Pizza+%233.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCPxxtKu7Pf4wiIYzX_zaWakB6u08M-vz9zBAD_T5CNjN_-mii8LaKtTqyErzRuOzD6oEoxbptu8GZPskBpESDqh_GoyqfVd-t_uJCWPXCGvgHNmYgylaQdsTaiM62udVyLkEUITbHI1Fx/s320/Meiji+Pizza+%233.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> First you gotta combine the blue and yellow packets together to make the dough. The dough itself tased like lemon-lime soda, a lot of Japanese candies are flavored like that. I think it was supposed to taste like Ramune. Then you put it in the tray and make the dough into a circle. NOTE: This kit makes two pizzas, but I only showed one because there's no point in showing the other identical one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Then you mix some water with the red packet to make the sauce! At first it was really liquidy. After a couple of minutes, it got all jello-like. It didn't taste like much on it's own really. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">Finally, you add the green packet full of "cheese" and the gummy toppings! At first the cheese was like a powder, but when you added it to the sauce, it crackled and made itself look like melted cheese. I thought that was pretty cool. And apparently the Japanese like to put basil leaves and prawns on their normal pizza.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;"><u>Taste Test</u></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">This tasted pretty good. It was mostly lemon soda/ramune flavored. But that is not a bad thing at all. The gummies tasted like a generic gummy, and the cheese had more lemon flavor. The cheese also crackled like pop rocks in your mouth. Overall, I liked making this set and eating it! </span></span></div>

Review<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><a href="https://www.goodies.co/" style="color: #015782; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Goodies Co.</a> is a pretty awesome snacky subscription box owned by Walmart. The reason for its excellence and success, in my opinion, is how cheap it is. Every box comes at the very reasonable price of $7 including shipping! This is a box that comes a bit later in the month, around the 20th. Goodies hasn't been around for too long, but they already feel like a veteran box, probably since they have marketing geniuses working for them. You get points for providing feedback about the product that you can use to buy full-size products in their shop.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; line-height: 18px;"></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are some little downsides to goodies. You have to wait 2-4 weeks to be able to subscribe. You first sign up for an invite, then play the waiting game. And the only other negative I can think of is that the website slows down all mobile devices A LOT. Like my text doesn't show up until five seconds after I've typed it. But that isn't something I would unsubscribe for by any means. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pringles Stix Cheese ($2)- These were pretty good. They tasted like pretz with a cheeto-like coating. I at it pretty quickly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dream Water ($2.50)- Dream water works pretty well, but that's because it is basically Melatonin. I already take melatonin every night, and this felt the exact same. The only differences being you can drink the water, but the price is a lot higher.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gimme Honey Dijon Seaweed Snacks ($1.66)- I love seaweed, a lot actually. But the flavor on this wasn't too fantastic. I think mustard and seaweed just aren't supposed to be together. Maybe it would've tasted better on a salad or something of that variety.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Highland all butter Shortbread Cookies ($1.08)- I went to Scotland a couple years back, and they sold shortbread like this everywhere. That being said, it wasn't as good as the stuff in Scotland but it was quite tasty. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Smooch Fruit Snack ($2) - I don't know why this was called a fruit snack, I would say it is more of a smoothie. But I really enjoyed this. It was thick, fruity, and I think it was healthy too. There were some banana lumps, which aren't a negative to me at least. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lays Stax Adobadas ($2)- Adobadas means marinated, and Que Rico is how rich. Not sure how that makes sense, maybe just rich marinated. But these tasted pretty good. I just wish they were spicier.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The value of this box was about $11.24. I am pretty happy with this value, since the box was only seven bucks. I used all of the products in here too, and was happy with all of them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Verdict: Great box. </span></div>

One thing led to another and I sold it to her, and I included a bunch of bonus stuff with the towel. Then she decided to be extra nice and <u>send me back some bonus stuff</u>. I thought that was pretty awesome of her. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apparently she went for an Asian theme, pretty cool.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Colon Blast- Lol, she just sent this because she found it hilarious. And it did give me some laughs. I don't even know the point of it. Is it for constipation, or just other intestinal problems? The world may never know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes to Cucumber Sunscreen- Sunscreen is something I will always use. Even though I don't get sunburned, I still don't want skin cancer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Roasted Seaweed- This was awesome. <a href="http://mommysplurge.com/" target="_blank">Brandy</a> was complaining about how she hated seaweed and I said I loved it. So that's probably why it was in the box. Needless to say I enjoyed it, a lot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Naturebox mandarin garlic peas- At first I thought these were wasabi peas, but I was mistaken. They are really tasty garlic flavored peas. Really crunchy and great. But you need a couple of breath mints after eating them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Uni Ball Pens- Pens are also something that always go to use. And I use them quite frequently. Same goes for losing them, I need a constant supply of pens. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 Hillside Hard Candies- I also mentioned that I liked these in my <a href="http://anasianreviews.blogspot.com/2013/06/june-love-with-food-review.html" target="_blank">Love with Food Review</a>. And I was happy to see them in the box, I ate them immediately.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Multi-Seed Crackers- Crackers are pretty awesome, because they taste good with anything savory. I ate them for a small snack with some cheese the same day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Xyloburst Green Tea Gum- These taste like the best thing ever at first. I love green tea a lot, so these were a hit. My only complaint was how long the flavor lasted.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjweCgg-TF93qwaU-wAgL7-fo4KnyVdPYK9vpT1f6A3U284pC15F_hTPFt3rwvqj5XFpvvFVIzd5Kk3plaPIu7B6vXdJm_NDRVE5D_FkJ3hYrtvCl-dv40yEN4s1gwMHqWo3mVKpYLtT6n8/s1600/Magic.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjweCgg-TF93qwaU-wAgL7-fo4KnyVdPYK9vpT1f6A3U284pC15F_hTPFt3rwvqj5XFpvvFVIzd5Kk3plaPIu7B6vXdJm_NDRVE5D_FkJ3hYrtvCl-dv40yEN4s1gwMHqWo3mVKpYLtT6n8/s320/Magic.JPG" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This box traveled to me on a magic carpet!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Verdict- I thought it was really awesome of <a href="http://mommysplurge.com/" target="_blank">Brandy</a> to send me back some stuff. I enjoyed all of the items and I could tell a lot of thought was put in the curation of this box. Thanks a lot!</span></div>

This box has gained a considerable following over the year (almost) it has been out. Part of the reason for that, I believe, that this box is very unique. Although there is another box that in the same category of it called booty bin. I predict more to come like Loot Crate.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">Well, anyways, this box costs $19.37 a month including shipping. They ship on the 20th of each month, and their boxes usually ship pretty fast to me (priority mail I think). Each month, one subscriber will win a "Mega Crate," which is filled with over $250 worth of value! I really hope someday I will get a mega-crate to review. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This month's theme was mash-up. So it supposedly has two unrelated geeky things and they get well, mashed together.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I had a hard time putting this all together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dead Pool-aid Tee ($22)- This shirt really isn't my style. My dad liked it but sadly it didn't fit him because I set the shirt size to my size. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwnzB_Jl8wey4LlFCshbyz6v14j_37jn5Pw9q9LucTfyWFWEPhuMmMc-RRvvvumw6UInPtn9JZNMIyNU3NJt3Zt7u963yU27n0p2j2mh8H-5kNmnMqLhzJTuzyvMf_aWLbj6B0KMjVvCm/s1600/June+Loot+Crate+C1.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwnzB_Jl8wey4LlFCshbyz6v14j_37jn5Pw9q9LucTfyWFWEPhuMmMc-RRvvvumw6UInPtn9JZNMIyNU3NJt3Zt7u963yU27n0p2j2mh8H-5kNmnMqLhzJTuzyvMf_aWLbj6B0KMjVvCm/s320/June+Loot+Crate+C1.bmp" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bic 2 in 1 Stylus Pen ($6)- This fits the mashup theme pretty well. I just don't think I would ever use this. This is because I don't ever use styluses, ever really. I don't see the point of them, unless you are playing draw something.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Loot Crate Wall Tangram ($7.50)- This is kinda neat. But my arrangement on my wall didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to. But the good part about this is that you can take it down and put it back up whenever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Comikaze %20 off Coupon- I'm not geeky enough to go to Comikaze, so this will probably go to waste. The code was LOOTCRATE if anyone wants to use it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKMqit0fuq7O2kxa9-FgZcOUywrH2lx_qI4rPsD6HYMHOs52Hsewq6XXO1_NF87Mwb2g6ghFROVLUNjtqVHMVksGhxLwjWi-9hwc3KJeijabI_eOy_UTK6inmP5wdAfjBcljkioZ6mzfV/s1600/June+Loot+Crate+C2.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKMqit0fuq7O2kxa9-FgZcOUywrH2lx_qI4rPsD6HYMHOs52Hsewq6XXO1_NF87Mwb2g6ghFROVLUNjtqVHMVksGhxLwjWi-9hwc3KJeijabI_eOy_UTK6inmP5wdAfjBcljkioZ6mzfV/s320/June+Loot+Crate+C2.bmp" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Loot Crate Bot Sticker($0.50)- I really have no place to put stickers. And this bot kinda creeps me out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) Warhead Candies ($0.50)- I am super resistant to sour candies because I at an eff ton of warheads once. That being said, these are still good. Pretty much a classic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Help a Brother Out Sticker ($0.50)- Everyone else got only one of these, hmmmm. But as I mentioned before, I don't have a place to stick these.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Loot Crate 8-bit Sunglasses ($5)- They sent these in different colors in the second 8-bit themed crate. But I look pretty dang weird in these, but I know someone who may like them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total value of this box was $42. Daang, the second highest all-time value of loot crate. The first crate had one over $50, and that may have made all subsequent boxes a disappointment. I am honestly getting bored with this subscription. But I AM NOT saying I hate it. This box will make people a very happy camper every month, it may be the highlight of their month. It just isn't for me.</span></div>

It is a tasting "BAR" that offers a unique tasting experience. Each BAR is priced at $9.92 a month, and I think that price is fair since I have never felt ripped off by them. This is my third box and I think this was my favorite box from them so far. . This box is really great for having fun with family and/or friends (party hard!). </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">This month's theme was Taste of Taiwan. I was psyched about this theme. You all probably know now that I love asian food. It is just way better than all other foods in my opinion. I probably sound super biased right now.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sachima- This was fantastic. It was kinda like a rice krispy treat, but was really light and melted in your mouth. This had a strong caramel flavor. But I really can't get over how great this was. I am definitely buying it the next time I make a trip to the ole asian market.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rice Cracker- I've gotten this in the Skoshbox Promo Box, and a past dumplingbox. It is pretty much a classic. But this one is more sweet than savory.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sesame Pastry- This was very similar to the banh cam I made recently (recipe <a href="http://www.theravenouscouple.com/2011/05/banh-cam-recipe-banh-ran-sesame-balls.html" target="_blank">here</a>, it was really good. If you are confused on the name, just call them sesame balls). Except my banh cam had a bean filling, this was very airy in the middle. But the flavor on the outside was the same. I also really liked the texture of this, very light.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Squid- I love squid! I eat squid jerky all the time with a spicy sauce. This tasted good, once you got past the fishy taste. It is kinda sweet tasting, that's why I usually eat it with a spicy sauce. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pumpkin Cake- I got two of these, but I'm not complaining because they were awesome. The pumpkin flavor was very subtle. I wouldn't describe it as a cake, but whatever.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Peanut Brittle- This was ok, I thought it was a bit hard.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, I loved my June tasting bar, and it was definitely worth the ten bucks. My favorite thing was the Sachima, but the Sesame Pastry was a close second.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

These were really great. Let's start out with the texture. It was super soft and melted in your mouth. And the fig/ricotta flavor wasn't overpowering at all and actually tasted really good. I want more.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lambrecht Gourmet Southern Pecan Toffee ($6.50)- This was ok in my opinion, as I thought it was a little hard. But I gave it to my sister and she wouldn't stop eating it!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">(3) Liddabit Sweets Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels ($1.74)- These were also amazing! I liked how much salt was in it. And I've never had chocolate caramel before this.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">Liddabit Sweets Barley Tea and Honey Lollipop ($1.25)- This was ok, it just tasted like honey to me.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(4) Itty Bitty Askinosie Chocolate Bars ($8)- These were way better than your average everyday dark chocolate. It tasted so chocolatey it was almost fruity, in a weird but good way. You are probably wondering why I have ten pictured but I only put four in the value. That's because I didn't get any of these bars in my original box so they sent another box with ten of them. Everyone else only got four, so that's the explanation for the value. They also sent some bonus chocolate caramel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total value of this box was $19.23. This was a pretty good value considering I consumed everything they had to offer.</span></div>

Ever since dumpling box went under, I've felt this lack of asian stuff being delivered to me. The timing of this box was perfect! As you most likely know, I am a huge fan of Asian cultures. Not only do they send food and stuff, but they also send stationary, like fun pens and erasers! Each box also has a card with a description of every item. Even though I am not Japanese, this box still interested me a great deal. This box is $12 a month including shipping, and I think that is on the cheaper side of subscription boxes.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really want them to send Japanese Kit-Kats. They are extremely different to the American Variant They come in a bunch of flavors, like a LOT of flavors. I've had them before and they are awesome! But they are expensive, and shipping from Japan is also pricey. That brings me to the next part, why they started this box.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This box was founded by two close friends that have lived in Japan and the U.S throughout their lives. The two friends were basically surrounded by Japanese culture all the time. They saw that access to a variety of Japanese stuff was not only scarce, but also quite pricey. So then bam! Skoshbox was born.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The staff of Skoshbox have created a coupon code for my readers! Use code <b>ASNRVIEW19</b> at checkout and get a<b> free mystery gift</b> in your first box! Sounds like a good deal to me. But hurry, this coupon expires July 15th, the deadline for the first box, so get onto it!</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look Green Tea Chocolate- MyChonny on youtube called these baby diarrhea candies on his recent video, haha. But that is besides the point, these chocolates are awesome. I really like the subtle, sweet flavor of green tea, and I didn't know how good it tasted with green tea! Inside it also has milk and azuki, adding to the creaminess.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) Kaki No Tane- These were pretty good. I liked the spicy rice crackers. The peanuts were a bit plain but tasted good with the crackers.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) Milk Hardcandy- Wow, these were surprisingly good. They tasted a lot like milkshakes, like the card described. I will probably buy more the next time I see them.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Orange Bubble Gum- This has a great orange flavor, but it ran out a little quickly.</span><br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) Umaibo- I think I got something similar in a dumpling box, but this was like a savory version of that. They apparently have a lot of unique flavors. I want to try the natto (fermented soybeans), but it might be terrible. But the ones that I got were really good.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choco Ball- These were pretty awesome. The card says they have an almond in the center but I thought it tasted more like a peanut. I initially though I wouldn't like it because of the nut, but it turned out to be not overpowering at all. It just added a bit of crunchiness.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Haichu- I eat the chinese variant of this ALL THE TIME. It is great. I never had this kind, but it was pretty similar, if not the same.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Koala's March- This was a lot like hello panda, but I think this had more chocolate!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Umaibo- This is pretty much a classic, and it is never disappointing. I really like savory/salty crackers and was craving some at the time; this hit the spot.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beer Nuts- I got these instead of the Air-In eraser, but I am still happy with these. They were peanuts with a weird kinda salty coating. I am not sure if they have beer in them, but the red banner just says beer nuts.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marble Chocolate- These are kinda like a Japanese version of M&M's (or smarties for any international people). I think I liked these better because the chocolate just tasted better. It may have been darker, I just can't put my finger on the difference. But there definitely was a difference.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, I was super impressed with this first box. If all the boxes are going to be as good as this one, or better, than I am a fan. It may seem like I am being overly nice on this review, but that is not the case; I honestly really liked this box. I would've payed the twelve bucks for it.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Verdict: I am definitely subscribing.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">**I was provided this box free of charge in exchange for an honest review. Receiving this for free did not affect my opinions in any way. </span><br>

I'd say the box isn't really for me, but I would think it would be great for people seeking to reduce their overall carbon footprint. It is $19.99 a month, including shipping and handling, and can go lower with the three and six month plans. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got the Gluten Free box for variety sake, but my box seems to just be worse than others. For example last month, mine was just filled with samples. Everyone else got a free full sized earthpaste while I just got a sample. And I didn't get anything extra besides it. And my conscious box mystery box had less stuff than others. Maybe they just have a bias towards me, but that's unlikely. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use Code FIRSTONEFREE to get your first box free, but you still have to pay $7.95 shipping and handling. Yes it is kind of deceiving but it is still saving you money possibly. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not gonna list values for this because most of the stuff is samples. The value is probably around the cost of the box. But this box isn't really about value, it's about discovering new products.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I told you they had a bias! Just kidding, but my box came all wet and stuff this month. I was assuming it was because of the rain, but then I realized that made no sense because the outer box wasn't wet. But then I opened up the box to reveal the two culprits. But this isn't that bad because conscious box is sending me a replacement box, so don't think about not subscribing because of this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Nature's Baby Bubble Bath was completely empty! So the whole thing just came out. But what I really don't understand is why there wasn't a safety seal on this. Maybe conscious box continued their bias against me and put poison in the bubble bath and that's why the seal wasn't there thus resulting in the leakage. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blue Sage Naturals Sea Buckthorn Soap- I gave this to my sister and she was pleased.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 Sleep Squares- Wow, these tasted nasty. At first it tasted like nice minty chocolate, but it was the aftertaste that got ya. It was kinda weird and chemically. But it did help sleep, it just felt like melatonin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chicken Poop Lip Balm- I guess they call it chicken poop to attract attention because they can't advertise on television. But I think it is a pretty good chap stick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">$50 Wine Gift Card from Naked Wines- I think I've gotten like five of these! But I've never used them because you have to spend money.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Four Organic flavrs in Superfruit Sport and Citrus Hibiscus- I love these things. I got them in this month's Love With Food, and loved them ever since! They remind me of mio, but a lot healthier. They taste really good, and not too healthy, which is a good quality in most cases. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 Skout Organic Trailbars- These are OK, they taste a little dry. But I still ate them.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rise Coconut Energy Bar- Energy in a tiny coconut flavored bar? Sounds good to me. Haven't tried it yet. But I definitely will.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bottle Bright- This tablet thing is used for cleaning water bottles. The dishwasher often times leaves spots on water bottles, and some water bottles aren't dishwasher safe. Plus handwashing them is a pain. Bottle Bright removes that pain! I don't think I would buy this on a regular basis, but it is nice to try.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Son for men Soothe- This is awesome! It is supposed to help with razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs kinda freak me out, so I really like this. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, I thought this box was kinda meh. Maybe I'll like it better without the water damage. Probably not that much. But this box really isn't for me. I am satisfied since I got this at 50% off but I will most likely cancel next month when my subscription expires. </span></div>

They offer a Be Well (basically a health box), Be Strong (this review), Be Pretty, Be Fit (weight loss), and Be All. I wanted the Be all but it was unfortunately sold out for this month. I guess I'll just wait for the next month. So then I decided to go with the Be Strong because anyone could use some extra muscle I guess. Well I knew for sure I didn't need to lose weight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All the Be Boxes cost $13.99, and I am pretty sure they aren't a renewing payment. At least it didn't say that when I bought it. I think this is a pretty good price, since the values of the reviews I'd seen before were super high. Well not all the time actually, I just saw a comment on a blog post saying how terrible their be pretty box was and it wasn't even worth the $14 bucks. Actually I just saw many things like that, so don't get the be pretty box because I guess it pretty much is garbage. It's not like I had any sort of desire to get it, so I'm not really sad about it at all. I guess the boxes are either terrible or awesome. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) 2 serving packets of C4 Extreme Pre-Workout ($8)- I find it odd that each pack contains 2 servings, because aren't the point of them to be convenient? But I will definitely use this anyways.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12 capsules Xenadrine XT ($6)- This got pretty good reviews, so I may just take it before a run. It's supposed to give energy, intensity (?), and thermogenesis (?). I don't quite know what those last two terms mean. Maybe intensity just means focus, but I have no idea what thermogenesis is, and I'm too lazy to look it up. Maybe they just used it to sound fancy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 can Power Pack Protein Pudding ($4.50)- It tasted ok at first, but then I got extremely tired of the very thick vanilla taste. The pudding didn't exactly taste like pudding, but it was still good; it had a lot of protein too which is good.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) GU Chomps ($4.40)- These are a lot like the cliff shot bloks. They give you energy and electrolytes and stuff. My sister now just calls these things salt blocks, because of all the electrolytes. I thought they tasted pretty good too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Muscle Martini ($1.40)- Well pretty much everything in this box was protein related, so I'm glad it fits the theme. This has a nice name, and apparently has an "Award Winning Taste." Protein things taste bad pretty often and only come in vanilla or chocolate. The flavor for this is watermelon candy, so it sounds good. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ON Amino Energy ($3.60)- This packet also has two servings, weird. But it is another protein drink that will go to use. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 RoxyLean Capsules ($4.93)- These are some expensive pills yawl. But I really don't need to lose weight, and frankly, I'm wondering why this was in the box. Isn't the theme to get bigger, not smaller? Maybe you need to get smaller before, but I'm not gonna use it, degrassi scared me away from weight loss pills.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) MusclePharm Assault Packets in Raspberry Lemonade and Grape ($3.50)- I tried the grape and it tasted like something I would drink even if I wasn't working out, which is great, so the other flavor will go to use.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6 tablets TwinLab Nitric Fuel ($2.45)- This got amazing reviews, so I am delighted to try them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total value of this box was about $38.78. This is a great value since I only paid about $14. I will use all but one of the products also, so that is even more awesome! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

As you probably know by now, I love me some snacks. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br style="line-height: 18px;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">At first you can get one box for $21.00 plus $3 shipping. They won't sign you up for a subscription automatically so that is nice. Then you can subscribe for a month to </span><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">month</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> subscription for just $21 a month. You can even purchase a six month subscription for $126 which includes some sort of bonus shipment. Hint Hint, the bonus shipment is just a bonus month, so the $126 gets you basically a seven month subscription!</span></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">Another cool feature of this box is that they donate a meal every month like Love With Food. That is always a clear selling point for me, so I think they should market that aspect of the box more. Most people probably don't even know that they do that.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TeeChia Blueberry Date Cereal ($3.50)- I didn't particularly enjoy these cereals. I thought it was like an oatmeal, but you don't have to cook it actually. You just add water and some sort of dairy. The end product tasted quite bitter and a bit soggy, but I would probably end up picking this up at the store If I didn't know what it tasted like, so I am glad the Yumvelope spared me from that experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TeeChia Cinnamon Cranberry Cereal ($3.50)- I don't really want to eat this, so not sure what I'll do with it either. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World ($1.80)- I really liked these. You were supposed to let the bag sit open for a couple minutes before eating to let the cookies "breathe." I thought that was weird, but these were really good. I liked the texture because it wasn't too hard and was kinda buttery. The chocolate was good and I was glad that there wasn't too much chocolate. Because I hate it when I bite into a chocolate chip cookie and all I get is basically a cookie shell with molten chocolate on the inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eat Green Tea ($25)- This is really interested. I was very disappointed when I pulled this out of the envelope because I thought it was tea. Turns out this is tea meant for eating. You are supposed to sprinkle it on top of stuff to add extra nutrients, antioxidants, and other good green tea stuff. This smells really good, but I tried it on its own and it wasn't pleasant. But I don't think it is meant to be eaten like that anyways.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) TeeCino Tea Bags in Dandelion Dark Roast and Dandelion Caramel Nut ($1.20)- The caramel sounds interesting, and I'll probably give away the other one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) Dave's Midnite Cookie in Lemon Coconut and Ginger Molasses- These were pretty good. The flavor on both were nice. But the ginger was a little dense. The lemon was much better in texture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total value of this was $39! Best Yumvelope value I'd ever seen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Verdict: My subscription is over now and I am thinking of resubscribing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well this has nothing to do with the yumvelope, but Guess What I just found at my aunt's house hiding in a corner! A gigantic box filled with big bags of Mini Pops. I had the mini pops in a LWF box and they were tasty. So I'm pretty Jelly that she has so much. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05266029766512801768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322654323244527417.post-39072562626948609542013-06-16T20:49:00.000-07:002013-06-16T20:49:49.852-07:00June Love With Food Review<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://lovewithfood.com/" style="color: #015782; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Love with Food</a><span style="line-height: 18px;"> is a fairly popular gourmet food monthly subscription service. One of the reasons why it is so popular is most likely the relatively cheap cost. This box costs $12 monthly total and can go as low as $10 with an annual plan. What differentiates this box from other food boxes is that for every box they deliver, they donate a meal to a hungry child in America. This month was particularly special because they donated two meals with every box!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">There are a lot of discounts online for LWF.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Seaweed Love Olive Oil Roasted Seaweed ($2.75)- I loved this. Seaweed is one of my most favorite foods, so this was a favorite snack also. It had a good amount of salt, and was a nice, light snack. I just wish somehow it would be filling, but I guess that isn't really possible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Smooze Mango and Coconut Fruit Ice ($2.33)- I haven't tried this yet but it sounds great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Turbana Sweet Plantain Chips ($1.42)- I liked the salty ones they sent in a previous box, but these weren't terrible. I just thought they could use some salt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSfvL4H0mF9HQwCI4ckgErwdvlZrxf_-imdpwhvZECKJ3tjiJ8j3KnyrTtfRnDdx1YfM6d_KoQLInAC4lgyYGHb0-hwltkyDfptRUdcM1ZbrlHIFHphPzfAwHYvjZ8JsvRUMqINRgnKztC/s1600/June+LWF+C+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSfvL4H0mF9HQwCI4ckgErwdvlZrxf_-imdpwhvZECKJ3tjiJ8j3KnyrTtfRnDdx1YfM6d_KoQLInAC4lgyYGHb0-hwltkyDfptRUdcM1ZbrlHIFHphPzfAwHYvjZ8JsvRUMqINRgnKztC/s320/June+LWF+C+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soyjoy in Mango Coconut ($1.19)- Oh Soyjoy, I remember I would always eat these in elementary school. I would eat them and lie through my teeth and say they were good. I don't know why I pretended they were good, I think I just liked the name and the advertisements for these. I find them a bit dry, but they aren't as bad as I remember. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do More Pineapple Coconut Cereal Bar ($1.92)- This was awesome! It was like a rice cereal treat, just with an awesome pineapple coconut flavor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Surf Sweets ($1.25)- I was expecting these to be sour, but I was kinda sad that they weren't. They were really sweet and had a nice texture. I ordered more of these for free with my rewards points. Some sour flavor comes when you order them so I'm looking forward to that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Hillside Go Organic Hard Candy ($0.50?)- These were really good. I liked that they actually tasted like fruit. The flavors on these were interesting, blood orange and green apple. Well, mostly just the blood orange.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Flavrz Organic Drink Mix ($2.50)- Water flavorings are great when water gets to boring. This was pretty awesome, added a fruity flavor to the water. I got more of these in this month's conscious box, and I was happy to have that (review coming soon for the conscious box).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 pack Pur Gum in Pomegranate Mint ($1.80)- Aspartame free gum seems to be all the rage these days. But I guess I like it because I don't really want cancer. I liked the flavor, I just wish it lasted longer! That seems to be the problem with all the aspartame free gums.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The total value of this box is $15.66! This is the best LWF value I'd ever seen so far. I liked all the products too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Verdict: Excellent box, good job LWF. </div>

Anisha over at Everyone Loves a Treasure gave out a code to try nature box (only for five people) so I used that right away. Then I was sent the may snacks. I am confused whether I will get the June box or not, but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth and just be happy with my snacks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Naturebox is a box that sends five bags (you can opt for more, but it will cost more also) of usually five servings in each snack bag. It normally costs $19.99 a month. All the snacks are "Nutritionist Approved" so basically the snacks aren't killing you when you eat them. Use the code SHARE10 to get your first box ten dollars off! Naturebox sends its own brand snacks kinda like graze or peckish. Apparently there is a customization component where you choose your snacks, and I really want to do that. But Naturebox has to activate something in your account to do that I think, so I emailed them about it. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This came in a pretty big box!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guacamole Bites- I really like these. They reminded be of fritos, but much healthier, and spicier. I could definitely taste the guacamole in it, and I love guacamole, a lot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Salsa Spiced Nut Mix- I wondered who they payed to write the descriptions on the card that came with the box. Because for this snack it said something like "who said mixed nuts can only be served with salt?" I'm pretty sure no one said that ever. But that is besides the point that this was really good. I am a fan of many things spicy, and I loved this. I wouldn't say it changed my life, but it was still enjoyable. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cherry Ganache Granola- Eh it was ok, better than your average granola but still granola.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Peanut Butter Nom-noms- These are pretty good, I just wish there were more in the bag!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BBQ Kettle kernels- Probably the best thing in the box! Really crunchy, and nice flavor. I just hope one of my teeth doesn't chip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Verdict: Overall I really liked my naturbox, I just need to get some issues resolved. </span><br />

<u><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Gillette 3 in 1 Fusion ProGlide Styler (long name I know). $14.99</span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to start out by saying the few negatives of this. The three customizable blade covers are kinda flimsy, one of them broke already for me. And when you add the customization things on the razor, it loses some of its power. But those are honestly the only negatives I could think of. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The customization concept is very useful, I use the "precision" one to fix sideburns that got all messed up. But it could be used in a variety of ways, like for a unibrow, or close to one, or just facial hair trimming/adjustments.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Not only does this gadget fix the hair on your face, but it can be used for body hair as well! And the normal razor, is obviously used for normal shaving. I really enjoyed the versatility of the styler. Even without any attachments, you can use this as just a powerful hair edger, but I wouldn't use it for anything much else. Overall, I would give this a four out of five :).</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Gillette Fusion Proglide Power ($10)</span></u></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I honestly couldn't think of any negatives for this, except maybe the price. But I still think it is worth it for the product.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to start out by saying that this razor gave a super close and smooth shave! I've been using it for almost one and a half months, and I haven't cut myself, and I am super clumsy when it comes to this stuff. It doesn't pull or tug anywhere for me! The fusion also didn't burn at all, really smooth and awesome in my opinion.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another positive for Gillette is that it rinsed without clogging, but that is to be expected with any razor with at least medium quality. I have super sensitive skin, and this did a great job not irritating it. I was pretty much used to having irritated skin after a shave, but I only had it in some spots, and it wasn't nearly as severe as before.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, I really like this product and will continue to use it! I give it a five out of five.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>

It is one of the many offered by thefancy.com , and this one specializes in food. It costs $39 a month plus shipping, but the value always exceeds the cost by a considerable amount. I don't think there are any coupon codes for it right now, which saddens me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rufus Teague Honey Sweet Sauce ($7)- I needed a new barbeque sauce to discover, so this came in the perfect time! It is pretty sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. I might make some barbeque stuff with it next week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rick's Picks Handy Corn Relish ($10)- Let me start out by saying that this does not look appetizing one bit. But it tastes pretty good. I may just use it in place of relish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cookie Assortment by the Cravory ($2)- I don't know why it says assortment on the card, because it is just one cookie. Anyways, I got lemon flavor, and it was slightly squished from the mailing. But the taste was fantastic! I often find that lemon flavor things taste too sugary, and this had the perfect amount, and it tasted awesome.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Salty Road Vanilla Salt Water Taffy ($6.50)- I am a bit dissapointed that I didn't get the salty carmel flavor, but these candies are still tasty. I like that they have some saltiness to them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pop Chomper ($14)- I actually really like this! The wood scares me though, as it feels a bit splintery. I don't know if I would pay fourteen bucks for this, so I guess I am glad it came in this box!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total value of this box is about $58.50. This is a bit low for this box, but I was happy with the products. I am thinking about skipping out on the next box because my refrigerator is running out of room for all this stuff. These are full size jars with lots of food that takes a long time to use. I am still working on the salsa from the first box!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Verdict: The fancy food box is probably my favorite subscription from the fancy. </span></div>

Kracie Dodotto Candy/ Dot Drip CandySorry that I haven't posted in a couple of days, I just haven't felt like it; and I don't want this to feel like a job. Anyways, welcome to part three of my Japanese candy series, the chemical reaction edition. Like the last post, this is one of the more simpler candy kits, but it is nothing short of awesome!<br />
<br />
If you would like to purchase these, I bought them from <a href="http://wanwan.fm/store" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
See! This set is pretty simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjp18Sii5qOKuTwgOJNtmwrjwc2L6s9GghdAC0qdAgpeBgBa20pcYCvgq_hw5x-ps9C52_19DCX8qN0pR19SC2pdgkUR_iVm7KjOY1S3vCfLq4sICu1GKqMVPksHVedmYz2v3Pl8fJQEzt/s1600/dot+3.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjp18Sii5qOKuTwgOJNtmwrjwc2L6s9GghdAC0qdAgpeBgBa20pcYCvgq_hw5x-ps9C52_19DCX8qN0pR19SC2pdgkUR_iVm7KjOY1S3vCfLq4sICu1GKqMVPksHVedmYz2v3Pl8fJQEzt/s320/dot+3.bmp" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First you fill up each side with water up to the line in the container. Then you add packet 1 to the square, and 2 to the circle shaped hole. Then ,obviously, you stir.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4-HWPftO-RIPgEeXz1TXfoNJH3pxgISIzMzXdwqddf6yBqCFVVcB3vzKO09Ug-WehrjA9Be67b6YPiI39a6e6ZswbwUmq7s0I6rjNpWP1R8Lx4qht994NnKuKQWGq4ap1lWcZuUSEfPq/s1600/dot+4.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4-HWPftO-RIPgEeXz1TXfoNJH3pxgISIzMzXdwqddf6yBqCFVVcB3vzKO09Ug-WehrjA9Be67b6YPiI39a6e6ZswbwUmq7s0I6rjNpWP1R8Lx4qht994NnKuKQWGq4ap1lWcZuUSEfPq/s320/dot+4.bmp" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was kinda sad that I didn't get the nonchalant octopus. But anyways, this is where the "Dot Drip" part comes into play. Included in the set is this little octopus. You squeeze the octopus like a pipette and suck up some pink liquid! Then make the octopus poop into the clear liquid. It creates awesome little spherical gel balls that remind me of mini-boba or salmon roe (this reaction comes into play for the candy sushi kit too! Post of that coming soon).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzZn4Yl7pAnApHkX9t8rxqE4kPxjU4JBXkSBfMR0A91pvsXa_iJmGA9XZ-gz8_pnazEJxc5UhYSBJT1X3J-BBJfiMN4f64SjTG8cx7UELMBvTNf2WWWgej8bgkaZLN-MPDOpBgMlE7-cLY/s1600/dot+5.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzZn4Yl7pAnApHkX9t8rxqE4kPxjU4JBXkSBfMR0A91pvsXa_iJmGA9XZ-gz8_pnazEJxc5UhYSBJT1X3J-BBJfiMN4f64SjTG8cx7UELMBvTNf2WWWgej8bgkaZLN-MPDOpBgMlE7-cLY/s320/dot+5.bmp" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, you add a third powder with some water and the remains of the pink liquid, and it creates a grapy-foam thing. It tasted kinda weird, but not bad. And then you mix them all together and it looks like this!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>The Taste</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The dots- These were quite pleasant actually. Tasted like bubblegum, but what was really awesome was the texture. It really did have the texture of boba! Maybe this is how they make it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The foam- It was kinda sour, but still tasted good. I think the flavor was grape. My fried that I made this with thought it was disgusting, so I happily ate the rest of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Together- Pretty tasty, and an interesting texture. Overall I really enjoyed this candy set! Stay tuned for more.</div>

Part 2- Meiji Fluffy Bubble Shake<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Part two of my Japanese Candy series! This one is probably the simplest candy I got. It only has two powders, and it takes almost no skill to make! If you are wondering, I purchased all of these from <a href="http://wanwan.fm/store">wanwan.fm/store</a>, a store owned by a Japanese youtuber, MarimoMarshmallow.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not many materials needed! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> First, you were instructed to fill the plastic bowl with some water. Then you add this wierd cotton candy like thing. It was a bit more silky than cotton candy, and dissolved super fast! Even faster than normal cotton candy I think. I snuck a little piece of the cotton by itself and it tasted like really strong ramune (a japanese soda).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtNrpJGn3Xwfe7OdSb48tOfF4l_IATjm4KOau_ZpSW0Qu0PpD4F-oqBUFv34VDTDR-NEiXDBSJlinoWpc_-2cpiY2BuFQKaZ3y03Se0k2cQclTo4E_EOerj9gKvNdF2NuBCjjvEbZEf5EC/s1600/Bubble+4.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtNrpJGn3Xwfe7OdSb48tOfF4l_IATjm4KOau_ZpSW0Qu0PpD4F-oqBUFv34VDTDR-NEiXDBSJlinoWpc_-2cpiY2BuFQKaZ3y03Se0k2cQclTo4E_EOerj9gKvNdF2NuBCjjvEbZEf5EC/s320/Bubble+4.bmp" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After the cotton is dissolved, you add the white powder, and then it starts to look more like a "bubble shake." The powder tasted like lemon on its own.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This think rose up real high! It almost overflowed, and it would've probably if i mixed any more!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shake tasted pretty good! It was like a really bubbly, foamy, ramune. I would definitely have it again. </span></div>

This is usually the time where June box start to ship. On to the box, the Tyler Florence Fancybox is one of the many subscriptions offered at <a href="http://thefancy.com/" target="_blank">The Fancy</a>. This one is curated by Tyler Florence, and usually contains things cooking or food related. Like all fancy boxes, it costs $39 plus shipping. It is also supposed to have a value of at least eighty dollars.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favorite fancy box right now is the food one, but that could change over time. I am expecting the food one early this month, so unless a situation like this occurs, expect a review for that soon!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't think there are any coupons right now for the fancy, but when I find one, I'll let you guys know. First there were 25 off, then 20, maybe they'll go down even further. I hope not, I like high saving coupons!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prepara Herb Savor ($20)- I hate it when fresh herbs go to waste, because this happens so often. So this will definitely go to use. The only part I am worried about is how much room this takes up. Tyler said on the back of the card that this fits in a refrigerator door, but the problem is that I don't have much room in my refrigerator door! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Egg/Pancake Fry Rings ($15)- I think I got this at an at seen on tv store a REALLY long time ago. As for the usefulness, I will probably use them, but I might just forget about them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apron Guide ($26)- Dangit Fancy! Now I have two of these, because it was also in the Fancy food box for this month. The bad part about this is that this isn't the first time that this has happened. They often have duplicate items, and people always complain about it. You'd think they would learn from their mistakes. I contacted the customer care, and I'll see what they do. Fancy is usually pretty fond of giving away gift cards when this happens.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tilt Mug ($13)- This is my favorite item in the box! First of all, I like the simplicity of the design. But the main point of this mug is to steep tea. You put tea into a infuser that comes in it, then add hot water, add the tea, and tilt! The tilting infuses the tea for you. You can also infuse at different levels by positioning the infusers in different ways depending how strong you want it. This will be used!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total value of this box is $74. This doesn't meet the eighty dollar mark, so that is a little disappointing. But I do like most of the products, and I would like the apron if it wasn't a duplicate item.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Verdict: Not as good as last month, debating on cancelling or not. </span></div>
