The August quote is interesting. I love all types of jewelry and wonder what that says about me.

Here are the items from the August GlobeIn Artisan Box! Everything looks wonderful!

Globein Basket
Globein Basket

The beautiful Globein Basket ($12.00) is made in the Mixteca region of Mexico. The basket-weaving has provided a stable income for Doña Martina Garcia, pictured on the tag, and eight additional basket weavers. They produce over 700 baskets a month!

Argan Oil
Argan Oil

I am happy to see The Argan Project 100% Pure Argan Oil (1 oz, $18.00) in the box. My hair needs it! The argan fruit is harvested and brought to the women, allowing them to work around their family responsibilities. It can take up to 20 hours to produce one liter of argan oil. This oil smells more pleasant than other argan oils that I have tried. Generally, I dislike the argan scent. I do love the results of applying it on my hair and nails overnight!!! My nails are stronger, and my hair looks healthier and brings out my curls.

Shibori Scarf

The Shibori Scarf ($25.00) is made in western Rajasthan, India by a group of women who partnered with Mahr Boomie. It is created by using the Japanese technique, Shibori, which creates the patterns. It’s a lightweight cotton scarf that adds a pop of color to your outfit. A different design was featured in the May Benefit Basket. I love the color and pattern. Subscribers can select between the green and gray scarf by going to the subscription settings.

Globein’s order for the jewelry roll ($30.00) provided enough work for fourteen artisans for three months. Each item is hand dye by women living in the low-income housing using the batik process with toxic-free dye from the mangosteen fruit. It measures 8.75×7.5 in (open) and 7.5×3 in (closed). It is made out of 100% cotton lining and faux leather binding. I am excited to finally receive a jewelry roll in a subscription box! I think Megan’s necklace from the August Benefit Basket would look lovely with the jewelry roll. The jewelry from the  GlobeIn Limited Edition Jewelry Box looks right at home in the jewelry roll.

The August Artisan box is still available until it’s sold out! Pamper yourself with the argan oil, wear a scarf, and enjoy traveling hassle free with your jewelry roll.  I am most excited about the jewelry roll. I’ve wanted one forever! GlobeIn has been innovative in offering subscribers basket options, past themes, and add-ons. I will be enjoying our August  GlobeIn Box, and hope you do too!

    Great review! I think the issue with Argan oil is that it turns fast I think? I usually get Josie Marin Argan Oil sets at Sephora when I need to push an order over e $50 ship mark and they never smelled until recently I had one of the bottles “turned”. I think I must have had too many fun bottles opened and I need to put more attention to using up one argan oil at a time now because Josie is pricey! Maybe now I do not need Josie just a fresh argan oil source!
