Before you read any further, I want to let you know I am in my early 20s. I do not have wrinkles (yet) which means I will NOT comment on the anti-ageing properties of eye products. But I do have dark circles and I had them ever since I was a kid. And I would love to get rid of them. Unfortunately, no matter how much sleep I am getting or food I am eating or water I am drinking those pesky under eye circles just do not go away.
Subscription boxes are great! Too often the same brands and products get the spotlight (due to good PR and/or good quality). You can argue that good products do not need advertisement because they speak for themselves but the reality of the green beauty world is that a vast amount of excellent products can be left unnoticed. It is not time or money efficient to try every Etsy store so subscription boxes can come in handy because they can introduce you to the artisan brands which have been hand picked and trialled.
I had my eyes on Pure Natural Box for a while now. I was a bit hesitant with December 2016 edition, however, I was too intrigued with the latest edition I could not miss it!

And another subscription box, cannot stop myself from getting them. Lately, there has been so many green / natural beauty boxes on the market that I am being spoilt for choice!
The Healthy Body Kit has been founded by Lisa and Claire in order to help their followers to be healthy - both inside and outside. The subscription box offers a variety of skincare, supplements, protein shakes, sports equipment and snacks in order to achieve this goal. The members of the website also have access to a selection of workout videos filmed by Lisa and Claire, recipes and discount codes.
Finally, the winter is over! I am looking forward to get sunny weather and warmer days (since it is cold, wet and miserable outside as I am writing). Winter is a cold season which can take a toll on anyone's skin. I am frequently ridiculed for always carrying a backpack with me. My excuse is simple - I need my essentials. Except for my definition of essentials might be different to what another person might count as essential. Regardless of this, I would like to share what I always carry around with me (sometimes literally in my pocket).
It is spring already! What a crazy thought. I cannot wait for the days to become longer and warmer, the winter is just too cold for me. Yes, snuggling in with a cup of tea is a comforting idea, however the thought of leaving warm bed in the morning is just unbearable. These are some of products which carried me through this winter.
So it has been a week since the second box from the Natural Beauty Box has landed on my doorstep. Ever since receiving the first box in January I was anticipating for the next box to arrive. The February box is titled "Kissed by the Sea" and as before the box is priced at £24.95 for subscribers (with free P&P) however the overall price of the box contents is £65. Similar to the previous time, all products have been announced on The Natural Beauty Box Instagram account before the box has been sent out. I do love this feature because if I only get to find out what is in a subscription box when I receive it I tend to be disappointed. As a bonus to the subscribers, a 35% discount code has been sent to be used for one of the brands included in this box.
