February 2014 Conscious Box

Hello everyone! So, as I explained in my last post, I moved in March and since I actually received February's Conscious Box on March 9th (yes, very late box...), my apartment was a mess and full of boxes, so I chose not to do a video for that month's box. Instead, I took pictures of the unboxing. Sorry if you were looking forward to a video!

Without further ado, pictures of the unboxing:

February 2014 Vegan Cuts Snack Box

Wow, almost four months since my last post. So sorry, have had a lot going on. At the end of February and beginning of March, I had to fly to Canada to attend my grandmother's funeral :( Then near the end of March, I moved north two hours into a different state. Not only did I move and had to settle in, but I also got a completely new job (and a full-time one to boot, my first!), so I've been keeping quite busy. But I knew it was time to get back and edit those videos I had shot months ago. Hopefully it won't take me another 4 months to edit the next video *keeps fingers crossed*

Anyways, February's Vegan Cuts Snack Box arrived on February 20th. You can view the video here. Please like and subscribe :)

Picture, picture:

Review: Boulder Canyon Rice & Bean Chips (Natural Salt)

In my July Vegan Cuts Snack Box, I got a bag of natural salt chips from Boulder Canyon. While watching something at my computer, I decided to open these up and munch on them.

Boulder Canyon chips

I liked them a lot better than Food Should Taste Good's multi-grain chips (you can read that review here), but compared to Beanfields' nacho flavored chips (review here), I didn't like them as much as those.

Picture of the actual chip

So, I probably won't buy these (although my local grocer does sell these whereas they don't sell Beanfields), but if they're ever in a future box, I'll at least know I like them :)

January 2014 Vegan Cuts Snack Box

Sorry for the delay!

Anyways, my Vegan Cuts Snack Box arrived on January 23rd. As you may notice, this isn't a combo snack and beauty box. I decided to cancel my beauty box. I was personally satisfied with all my beauty products that I currently use (some thanks to the beauty boxes!) and don't really need anymore.

Some more news: this ended up being a free box! I got an email before I received January's box saying I had won a free box due to me submitting videos/photos of the monthly boxes. So yay! :)

Without further ado now, you can find the unboxing video here. Please like and subscribe!

A picture, as usual:

December 2013 Vegan Cuts Snack & Beauty Box

Yay, this was the last video I had, so I'm now all caught up :)

I received this Vegan Cuts combo box right before Christmas. I initially had some issues since I never received an email from them that it was shipped out (they've always done this and included the tracking number). After I noticed multiple people getting their boxes (according to Vegan Cuts' Twitter feed), I decided to contact them about what was going on with mine. They got back to me very quickly and were unsure of why I didn't receive the email, but my box had indeed been sent out and provided the tracking number for me. I'm guessing due to the holidays, USPS was a little busy :P Anyways, within a few days from contacting them, the box arrived safely at my home! :)

So, without further ado, you can find the video of my unboxing here. As always, please like and subscribe!

Review: Zevia Soda (Black Cherry)

In my August Vegan Cuts Snack Box, there was a can of soda by Zevia. I put it into my fridge to keep cold for when I would drink it. Well, about 2 weeks later, I did.

Front of Zevia can
Nutrition facts and ingredients list

I figured since it was Black Cherry that it'd be a dark red color, but nope, it came out crystal clear! It looked just like carbonated water. But upon taking just one sip, I definitely tasted the black cherry flavor. And within just a few sips more, I knew I liked it.

Zevia poured into a glass (yes, that's a silly straw!)

After finishing it, I didn't feel at all bloated and icky like I usually do with regular sodas (such as Coke and Pepsi). It was like I had just had regular water.

Although I don't usually drink soda much, I ended up buying a 6-pack of these with the coupon included in the box as well. Then, just a few weeks ago, I bought another 6-pack as I had found a coupon online. I think as long as I can find a coupon, I'll probably keep buying these in the future as it's a nice change from plain water.

Highly recommend!
