So, grab your favorite blanket, kick back, and let’s dive into the cozy haven of kindness that awaits in this season’s BE KIND box.
As a self-proclaimed cookie enthusiast, these PARTAKE Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies had me at first glance. The three-cookie snack packs are not only convenient but also boast wholesome, allergy-friendly ingredients, catering to various dietary needs. Taking my first bite, I was met with a perfect balance of sweetness and the rich, comforting flavor of chocolate. The texture was spot-on – soft and chewy!
These PURELIFEBIOTICS Eternal Harmony Shower Steamers ($20) just made shower time more relaxing! Each pack included four soothing scents. First, I went for one that matched my mood—opting for an anxiety-relieving experience. As the steam embraced me, I felt the tension melting away, replaced by a renewed sense of energy and focus. The mood-boosting, energy-restoring, and focus-enhancing options added variety to my routine. What’s great is that each steamer is good for multiple uses, making it a long-lasting companion in my self-care moments. Plus, knowing they’re natural and organic added an extra layer of feel-good to my daily relaxation ritual.
A pocket-sized stress-buster, OUR LAVENDER CO. Lavender Rollerball ($15) contains a blend of essential oil and fractionated coconut oil which creates a soothing effect for the senses. What’s surprising is its versatility—not just a stress reliever, but a sleep aid too. And if my skin is feeling a bit irritated, it’s got that covered as well. The perfect size made it a constant companion in my bag, ready to roll away tension whenever and wherever needed.
Putting on the CHARGED Removable Pearl Huggie Earrings ($50) felt like adding a touch of timeless elegance to my day. The simplicity of the design gave these earrings a classic charm that easily elevates any outfit. The huggie style made them snug and comfortable to wear, creating a subtle, stylish accent without any fuss. When I wore them, it felt like slipping into a classic piece of jewelry, effortlessly blending with both casual and dressier occasions. The weight and feel were just right—enough presence to make a statement, yet light and comfortable for all-day wear.
Next up is a skincare combo: the ANDALOU NATURALS 1000 Roses Instant Soothe & Smooth Sheet Mask and Soothing Sleeping Mask ($5.99). The sheet mask, promising a smoother texture and soothed skin, was a breeze to use—just apply to a clean face and leave on for 5-10 minutes. Its counterpart, the soothing sleeping mask, taps into the naturally restorative powers of roses, pledging to soften, smooth, and restore vitality. To use, simply apply a thin, even layer on a clean face and leave it on overnight. Both products contain alpine rose stem cells and rose flower water. Incorporating them into my routine was a simple yet delightful step towards a little pampering.
In a pack of two, these DENIK Classic Layflat Notebooks ($14.98) boast thick 100 gsm paper and lined pages, providing a welcoming canvas for my musings. The colorful cover prints added a burst of personality to my writing routine; one notebook features a floral design on a black background, while the other embraces a tropical vibe adorned with charming lemon drawings. Using them became a tactile pleasure, the smooth layflat design ensuring every page is easily accessible for jotting down ideas or sketching on the go.
The Exclusive Art Print in the BE KIND Fall 2023 box was crafted by their box artist, Jessica Resendíz. This vibrant piece features the iconic cempasúchil (marigold) flower, a symbol deeply rooted in the celebration of our ancestors during the traditional Day of the Dead. Jessica’s art not only adds a burst of color to my space but also serves as a beautiful reminder of the cultural richness and meaningful traditions that connect us all.
Infused with a pink sugar and cotton candy scent, the AMINNAH Unicorn Dreams Body Oil ($41) brings a touch of sweetness to my pampering sessions. Its nourishing and hydrating formula, enriched with a blend of jojoba oil, coconut oil, rosehip oil, hazelnut oil, avocado oil, and sunflower oil, promises a luxurious treat for the skin. As I applied the oil, I immediately felt the nourishing and hydrating benefits, indulging in a pampering moment that left my skin feeling soft and supple. It also absorbs effortlessly, leaving a non-greasy finish.
Summing up my experience with the BE KIND by Ellen Box for Fall 2023, I’m genuinely impressed by how well everything fits together. The mix of goodies, from skincare to cozy stuff, feels like they’re all handpicked to make my days a bit brighter. What I really like is that each item is both simple and useful – nothing flashy, just things that make me feel good.
