Ecocentric Mom - June Mom Box

I received a new subscription box in my mailbox yesterday and could hardly wait to take it inside and open it up! The box itself is small and brown and I was so curious to see just what could possibly be inside that would interest me as a mom, since that's who this box is targeted to. They also have boxes for expectant mom's and for baby. Ecocentric Mom focuses on healthy, natural products that help make your life a little easier, nicer and all around happier. You can subscribe for just $17/month shipping included and you'll get 5-9 products which will include both full size and trial products.

So here's what my box looked like: hmmm let's open it up!

Okay, so the inside is really cute. I don't love pink, in fact I try to avoid it, but the pink tissue and stamped heart on the inside of this box actually made me smile. The little brown box opened!

Underneath the sticker holding the tissue paper together you get two cards about the size of a postcard and greeting card. One lists all the box contents the other is an informational card with "Expert Tips" for that month's box. Cool! This month's tips were about Mosquito control and Going gluten-free which more and more people are doing in some capacity.

It was a hard choice on whether to read all the information outright or open the box contents and see what was in it before doing my homework and reading about the products. In the end curiousity won me over. I read the "Expert Tips" card in anticipation of what might be in the box and then I dug right into the contents. I figured I could always read the card after seeing what was inside. In reality, that only worked so well. A few products in and I was curious to know more about the things I was pulling out of the box, so then I decided to pull something out and then find it on my informational card and read about it before moving onto the next item. That system did work well. So here's what the June box held.

All said and done there were 10 products in my box and I was thrilled! I can't wait to try some of them out and oops, I've already opened the chips and boy are they tasty! Maybe lunch time wasn't the best time to open up this box after all.

So we'll start with the chips. They're all natural tortilla chips made with sweet potato and boy do they taste like it! I love all things sweet potato so honestly I was pretty excited to try these. We don't eat tons of chips so these were also quite a treat and I would buy them again if I can find them in my local grocery! The brand is "Food Should Taste Good" and they're right, it should and it did. They're also gluten free and Kosher and the ingredient list is tiny; just 6! Love that. They're still chips so they still contain fat, but they're a healthier option based on what isn't in them and they taste good which is always a plus for healthy food! They could be addicting and I may have to add them to our 4th of July Menu because I'm pretty sure my whole family could get behind these.

 There was one other food product in the box that I'm also excited to try, but will save it for a day when I actually need it, rather than biting into it now. It was an Eco Trek Fitness Whole Food Bar and it's got an awesome 10g protein along with 6 servings of fruits and veggies all

for only 195 calories and it's Vegan and 100% natural. I really hope this one tastes as good as it actually sounds when reading the ingredient list, because I'm always on the look out for great bars for outdoor activities and travel purposes!

The rest of the products are health, home and beauty products. I was a little disappointed that all of the items in the box are consumable,
so there is nothing that will last. But as far as assortment of items go, it's wide.

There is a sample of Jenuinely Clean Laundry Power Wash which looks interesting and smells really good. It's chemical free and that's always a plus! There was a full size bottle of Turtle Moon Health All Natural Mosquito and Tick Repellent which will get used this summer as we live in an area that both are a problem in! In fact I've already used it while out gardening at dusk the other night and it worked great. The bottle it comes in is aluminum as well and would be easy to reuse or re-purpose when finished with it.There was a travel sized bottle of Happy Seeds Watermelon Foaming Hand Soap which unfortunately leaked about 1/3 of the bottle on the box and tissue paper and was a disaster to clean up, but smells good. It's also gluten, nut and soy free which is a nice thing to have on around. I'm sure I could contact Ecocentric Mom about the leak, but I really don't want them to replace it, so it's not that big of a deal. I also received a Brigit True Organics Magic Healing Skin Balm Stick another new product that I look forward to trying out in the future. It can be used for just about anything that needs healing and comes in handy little tube. Great for a purse or bag if it works well!

Finally the four products I'm most excited for are the Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques Lip Color this is awesome lip color and a great moisturizer all rolled into one! It smells and feels great!

My Essence Of Antiquity Pomegranate Lip Scrub

which had to be opened and tried immediately and boy did it feel good! I might seriously be in love with this stuff.... A Green Leaf Living Lotion Bar I do wish it came in a tin or container of some kind rather than a plastic bag because it's so easy to use and would then be a lot more functional for throwing in my purse to take with on the go. I'll have to find something to put it in. Also, the information card said it was a full sized product, but the bag it came in says it's a "sample" a little confusing but judging by the size of it I'd say it was definitely a sample! Lastly, but not least of all there was a Shea Terra Organics Rose Hip Black Soap Face Wash in a 1oz bottle and this stuff is amazing! It doesn't actually smell wonderful, but it works as the label says as a "Micro-dermabrasion in a bottle." It can be used on all skin types, is 100% natural and you'll feel the difference after using it. Love this product.
