Globe In Feb Box Review

Globe In World Kitchen Box



I recently discovered this company called Globe In a few weeks ago while I was wandering around on Facebook. I had seen a post for this February box and was so sad I had missed the deadline for it. I commented on their page and was so pleasantly surprised when they responded they had a few left. They got me in contact with the right person and a few days later my box was delivered!

I went ahead and signed up for their 3 month subscription. They offer monthly, 3 month, and 6 month subscriptions. All of their products are fair trade and from artisans and farmers from around the world. The theme for this box was World Kitchen. It included items that can obviously be used in your kitchen. Each month the items arrive in a palm leaf basket from Mexico.

The items in this box included Coconut Sugar from Indonesia and also:


Handwoven towel from Guatemala


Coffee from Nicaragua


Pure Ground Vanilla from Madagascar
Inka Salt from Peru


Mini Tagine from Tunisa


The little booklet that comes with it tells more about each item and where they are from. On the back is also a recipe. This one was for Vanilla Yogurt Parfait so you can use some of the vanilla included in this month's box. 

I am so happy I found out about Globe In. I look forward to my March and April boxes. They also sell items from around the world on their website Globe In. So be sure to check them out.

Light Blue Rock Candy Review - Cotton Candy Flavor





These Rock Candy Crystal Sticks from Candy Buffet Store are awesome! These light blue ones are Cotton Candy flavor. They really do taste just like cotton candy. Not overly sweet but they sure hit the spot if you're craving a little something sweet.

The wooden sticks are sturdy and smooth and 7 inches long. The rock crystals average about 4 inches. So you are getting a really good amount of candy. They are fresh and just the right hardness. Not so much they will break your teeth but still allow for a good crunch.

We have 4 boys and they were just as eager to test these out as I was. They loved them as much as I did! They liked they could easily suck on them a bit and then get a few chunks of rock off at a time to do some crunching. They liked that the wooden stick was easy to hold and they didn't get sticky.

These come in a 24 pack. Ours were separated into 2 packs and then each stick was individually wrapped for freshness. They were packaged very well and none of ours were broken.



These would be so fun for any type of party. I know with the Frozen craze they would make for some very fun party favors. This light blue color would also be great for a boy's birthday party or a baby shower. And of course they'd be great just for having on hand when you need a little sweetness in your life.

You can find these Light Blue Rock Candy Crystal Sticks on Amazon. They do offer other flavors and colors too so be sure to check them out.

Keomi Skincare Organic Handmade Soap Review



This sample set from Keomi Skincare came with 4 different scents of organic handmade soaps. Included were Green Tea Goddess, Golden Crown, Luscious Lavender, and Sea Breeze. They all smell amazing.

Each soap is handmade using the highest quality ingredients. They are made in small batches using the cold-press method to retain the benefits of the living oils. The base used for making the soaps is a blend of over 10 USDA certified organic vegetable, fruit, and seed oils, along with shea and cocoa butters.

This sample set is a good way to try a few different scents. The bars are a decent size so that you can use them a few times at least.



These Keomi Skincare Handmade Soaps are:

Organic/Vegan
No Animal Testing
No Colorants
No Preservatives
Sulphate Free
Nut Free
Made in the USA


Sea Breeze


It was hard to decide which one to use first since they all smell so good but I decided to use the Sea Breeze first. I was hoping it'd transport me to a warmer place in my mind for a bit! This soap made my skin feel clean, it washed off easy, and left a nice scent on my skin after showering. 

You can find these beautiful handmade organic soaps on Amazon and also on the Keomi Skincare website.

12-in-1 Headband Review



This 12 in 1 headband from Tough Brands is an excellent accessory to have for your workouts, outdoor activities, or just to look stylish! They have over 50 styles to choose from but being in a house full of males that are hunters I thought this camo print would be a hit for sure. I had originally planned to be the main user but after my youngest boy tried it out he has claimed it. I did get a chance to use it for a workout and an afternoon house cleaning before I had to hand it over.


House cleaning in style.



One of my boys using as a neck gator.



He says this will be his summer style.


There are 12 ways ways to wear this headband. It is stretchy and fit both of us really well. I ran it through the wash and it came out just fine. It's made from 100% microfiber which is a breathable material so it helps wick away moisture faster than other alternatives. 

I'm sure with all the many patterns available you will find one you'll love. You might find a few! You can find these 12-in-1 headbands on Amazon.

100% Pure Argan Oil Review



This Argan Oil from Foxbrim is made from 100% Pure ECOCERT & USDA Certified Organic Argan Oil. There are no additives, fillers, or fragrances and it is directly sourced from Morocco.

My hands have been so dry from the very cold weather we are having this winter so I have been putting a few drops once a day on. It soaks in rapidly and does not leave my hands feeling greasy. It has greatly helped to make my skin feel more moisturized.




There are many other uses for this Argan Oil including in your hair for softer & silkier hair, on your face for a more radiant glow, and also on your nails to make them stronger. This does have a very natural earthy scent. It's very light to me and I like that is smells very natural.

You can find Foxbrim Argan Oil on Amazon.

Lemon & Peppermint Essential Oils Review


I recently received a bottle of lemon essential oil and a bottle of peppermint essential oil from InstaNatural to review. Both of these oils smell really good. The lemon is just like smelling fresh squeezed lemons. It's very energizing. The peppermint is a burst of cool mint.

Essential oils have many uses. You can use them in an Essential Oil Diffuser to bring a nice aroma to any room in your house. Peppermint is known to help reduce stress. I have used it to help relieve my headaches at times. The lemon one is great to use for a cleaning aid. The citrus scent just makes me think clean and fresh.  You can use either to make your own bath salts or scrubs. The bottles include a dropper so you can add whatever amount you desire. A little goes a long way. These bottles are a very generous 4 oz. so they will last awhile.

                                                 
                                 



These essential oils from InstaNatural are 100% natural and pure and do not include any added ingredients or fillers. They are made in the USA and are cruelty free.  

The Peppermint Essential Oil and the Lemon Essential Oil can both be found on Amazon.

Silicone Heat Resistant Cooking Glove Review


These SafeTGloves are made of premium food grade silicone and heat resistant to 425 degrees. They are BPA free and FDA approved. These gloves come in a 2 pack so you can keep both hands safe while cooking, baking, or grilling. They are also waterproof.




The gloves have nice little grips on them so it makes it easier to handle pans and dishes and know they won't slip out of your hands. They cover up my wrists so it helps keep them safe too. They are a one size fits most. A couple of my boys used them too and they felt confident using them as they feel like they can grip things easier with the 5 finger gloves as opposed to the regular oven mitts we have. I really like the bright orange color. I know I will be able to find them easily.

You can find these gloves on Amazon. They would be a great addition to your kitchen.
