The Perfect Healthy Snack: Nature Box Review

I was recently given product from the awesome company Nature Box to try and review. When the opportunity was presented to me, I immediately had to jump in. I am a busy and very on the go person, so being able to have healthy snacks readily available are essential to me. This prevents me from going through the drive-thru or stopping at a convenience store.

The best part? You can get a free trial.

NatureBox delivers a world of carefully sourced and nutritionist-approved foods right to your door. Each snack contains wholesome ingredients - with no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors, zero grams trans fats, and no high fructose corn syrup. You can learn more about their Product Promise here.

I have to start with my favorite; the lemon tea biscuits. There is no other way to describe them other than absolutely delicious. They reminded me so much of everyone's beloved girl scout cookies, They had a bit of a crunch, but still soft, and a sweet taste; but not to the point of being overly sweet.

Coconut cashews sounded very interesting to me, which is why I had to try them. Nuts in general are a perfect source of good fats and energy. This is a great snack to keep in your bag, purse, desk -- anywhere. The taste is very unique, but it goes so well together. It's a satisfying blend and sweet and salty. 

These sourdough cheddar pretzels had more flavor than I thought possible. Every bite was fantastic. I have never been a big pretzel eater, but I was sold when I read they were "sourdough cheddar". You can tell just by looking at them how much flavor they have. These are also fantastic to me because I dip them hummus. 

I have never participated or purchased from a company like Nature Box before and overall I was extremely pleased. The products tasted much better than I thought they would and there is SO much you can choose from.

Here are the details:

When you join NatureBox, you'll receive five different snacks every month. You can choose the snacks you want or be surprised with their carefully curated selections.

A Good Hair Day Means I Can Take On The World

My readers and fellow blog friends know I love all things hair and cosmetics. One of my favorite topics to write about besides health and fitness is about my newest and latest hair and cosmetic finds, plus tips and tricks I learn along the way. I also love to read about what you guys find and use. When the opportunity arose for me to receive and review Head and Shoulders Green Apple shampoo and conditioner, I had to jump on it. 

My natural hair is a lot like my spirit: wild, unruly, and is going to do whatever the heck it wants, no matter what you do to it. It is also very thick. Thus sometimes I have had a hard time finding the best brands of shampoo and conditioner that work well with my hair. I was pleasantly surprised by Head and Shoulders, as I had never used this brand of products before. First, the smell. The absolutely amazing, delicious smell. It is natural with just enough fruit infused into it without an overly fake scent. Head and Shoulders Fresh Scent Technology is a breakthrough approach to enhance the shower experience; we are talking going from “good morning” to “good morning beautiful”. This is done by combining proprietary scalp technology and proven hair benefits with an amazing, water activated fragrance boost. 

The best part? It really is a good quality product. My hair felt silky, smooth, volumized, and it is reassuring to know that I can fight dandruff with this number one dermatology recommended brand. My hair is coarse and begs for conditioner every time I wash it. Unlike ordinary conditioners that can wash away up to 70% of scalp care ingredients deposited on the scalp; Head and Shoulders conditioners contain 0.5% pyrithione (ZPT) to help maintain and embrace scalp protection. When used in conjunction with Head and Shoulders shampoos, the conditioners maximize the coverage of the scalp-protecting ingredient ZPT on the scalp and are more effective than using Head and Shoulders shampoos alone.

I know you are rushing out of the door right now to get your own bottles of the Head and Shoulder's fresh scent collection, but before you do, I have something awesome to tell you about:
