FitSnack Subscription Box Review!


I have another fun subscription box review for all of you today!  I feel like subscription boxes are always my favorite to review, because you really never know what you are going to get which is pretty exciting. It's almost like it's Christmas which is awesome! The box we are going to be taking a  look at today is called FitSnack. This is a monthly subscription of food. These are more on the healthier side as well which is cool! I loveeee getting food subscriptions because it's just really convenient for me. I don't know about you guys but I seriously hate going grocery shopping. I feel like it always takes up a huge amount of my time and I also never go outside of my box and pick up different things to try which is why I love this box! I do have to say before we get started with this review I have to apolgize for not including more pictures of the items of the box. I'm not even going to lie, these snacks did not last long in my household. Between my boyfriend and I we both demolished this box within hours of opening it!LOL we just had to try everything and let me just tell you everything was pretty good.

Inside my box was:
Tickle Water in the flavor green apple- To be honest I wasn't too sure about this one. I am not a huge fan of green apple. I was really surprised with this one. This a carbonated drink. I wouldn't say it's like most that I have ever had. The flavor wasn't very strong it was really just the right about of sweetness and not overpowering at all. I really thought this was super refreshing. I will definitely be checking out this brand in the future to see what other flavor they have.

KaCookies, two flavors one in BlueBerry and one in Chocolate- These were gluten free and made with no eggs or dairy products. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate. I decided to try the berry one first. I thought these were going to taste not so great, but once again I was wrong. I loved these a lot. They had the perfect consistency and I thought they were extremely flavorful. They didn't taste much like any healthy cookie to me!

Beanitos- I have heard of these before and have always been super curious to try them. So I was glad to see that two bags were included inside this box for me! These are tortilla chips but they are made out of black beans. I will tell you that these were truly amazing! I thought these were the perfect amount of saltiness for my liking. The bag size was pretty nice as well. I was super glad that there were two of these instead of just one!

Amesty bar in Peanut butter- I got pretty excited when I seen this for a few reason. 1. I love any type of bar that's usually what my go to snack is 2. I am beyond obsessed with peanut butter. I loved the texture of this bar it wasn't hard, and it wasn't too soft either (HA that's what she said, sorry had too lol). Anyways. I thought this was pretty good as well. I think this would be a great snack that would definitely hold you over till your next meal. It was really filling.

Turkey Jerky- This was the first thing that was gone out of this box lol. As you can see it's not even in this photo because I couldn't even wait to eat it. I apologize but I don't even remember what brand it was but just know that it was great lol! 

Also included in this box they include some extra supplements, these are cool that they include these but to be honest I'm all about the food! I do have to say my boyfriend enjoyed that part of the box.

Now I know you all are probably thinking that I'm full of it, saying that everything "tasted so good". I truly am not lying though. I can totally say that I am usually a very picky eater so finding things for me isn't always the easiest. This box contained a lot of different variety, and it was things I wouldn't typically go for while grocery shopping. This box really took me out of my bubble and I loved trying new things. 

I am proud to announce that I will be bringing you monthly reviews for this subscription box and I am so excited to see what's in next months box!

Walter & Rosie Candle Co! Review


I have a review on some wax tarts today! These are not like any other wax I have reviewed here on my blog before. These are super special and really hit home when I stumbled across these on the internet. The name of this shop is called Walter and Rosie Candle Co and they make a wide range of wax that are Disney inspired! Yep that's right Disney Wax. If you are Disney obsessed like me then these are a must, especially when your away from Disney I know it gets hard and these make it a little bit more manageable lol.

 
I was sent three different wax tarts to try out and I am so thrilled to share these with you! The scents I received are Citrus Swirl, Polynesian and Main Street Confectionary. Is your mouth watering yet? Because mine is lol. These are packaged just like any other wax tarts you find pretty much anywhere. Each package contains 6 cubes of wax. You simply break off one piece of wax and place into your warmer and then you are good to go! Let's get a close look at each on these scents and see how amazing they are I am so excited to see what these smell like!

 
Up first we have Citrus Swirl. This automatically makes me want a Dole Whip from Disney lol. I could smell this one over the two other as soon as I opened my mail. I didn't even have to open the wax itself before getting a whiff of this. Let me just tell you this smells amazing! It smells just like a creamsicle. I'm not a huge fan of Citrus stuff, but I easily make an exception with this lol. I cant get over how good this smells!
 
The description of this scent is:
"On your next "adventure" don't forget to grab a sweet treat from the orange bird filled with touches of orange citrus and vanilla."

 
Up next we have Polynesian which I was unsure how this one was going to smell. I really like this one too! It smells really fruity which is another one of my favorite scents. This is a really relaxing scent and reminds me of the beach. It is super relaxing! I really love this scent as well. I think this is going to be my go to scent over the summer!
 
The description for this scent is:
"Aloha with a touch of sweet melon, raspberry nectar, Italian lemon and creamy coconut."

 
 
The last wax tart I have to share with you all is called Main Street Confectionary. This is the one I wanted to try the most, considering this is my favorite place in Disney and I love the smell of that place. Let me just say Oh my goodness! Sugar overload. This smells soooo good it's not even funny. It is sooo sweet and smells just like candy which is huge hit for me. If you like sweet scents then this is the scent for you!
 
The description for this scent is:
"Everyone’s favorite summer time treat, this candy-like scent with touches of sweet vanilla and orange will leave you wishing you were in line grabbing a bag right now."

 
My final thought on these wax tarts is over the roof! These are by far the most amazing smelling tarts I have ever tried. The scents are super powerful in the packaging and in the warmers as well. The Citrus Swirl filled my entire home with this scent and I can't get over how powerful these truly are. The fact that these are Disney just makes these even more special. I love these and I highly recommend checking them out.
 
Stay tuned because more review for this amazing shop will be coming soon!

Munchpak Subscription Box! Review

 
 
Today I have another subscription unboxing/review for all of you today. Today we will be getting a closer look at a box called MunchPak! As you could probably guess from the name of the box you can already tell that this box is going to contain food. This box is a little different however. Inside your not going to find your everyday groceries/snacks you would find in the supermarket, instead you are going to find snacks that you could find all over the world. These boxes are pretty cool because they come in a few different sizes so you can figure out which one is the best for you and your family. The one I will be reviewing today is the Mini size which costs $9.99. Let's get on to the unboxing and review!
 
 
Right away this is what I see. There isn't a card in my box, so I'm hoping there is one at the bottom of my box. As you can see this is pretty full or being such a small box. I'm excited to have a look at all these items and I am a little hungry too so this box is going to be perfect for me right now lol.

 
The first thing I pulled out, which was sitting right on top is a bag of Chips by the brand Kurleez. These are in the flavor sour cream and onion. Right away I noticed that the bag was pretty filled with air so I was hoping they were not stale from all the air being trapped inside the bag. Unfortunately they were a little stale but that's okay. I would have to say for being a little stale these were the best stale chips I have ever had in my entire life lol. I would for sure try these again. They were really good!

 
Next up we have another food product. This one I cant really read. From the picture I assumed that this would be a wafer type cookie and I was right. I know most of you have seen this in the store. It's a wafer type cookie and that a few layers to it and they are usually really light and crispy. I can tell you that these were amazing! It was split between two squares so you can share them with someone but to be honest with you I didn't want to share. I ate both of these immediately and really couldn't help myself....oopsies!

 
Next up we have Big Thunder which appears to be a big Chocolate bar. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate so this is where my boyfriend comes in handy. He loves chocolate so I was able to give him this to try and check with him what his thoughts were. He said it was pretty good just really rich so he wasn't able to finish the whole bar which is very not like him lol.
 
 
Moving right along we have Whistle candies. Probably one of the most annoying candies you could ever buy lol. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, I will gladly explain this candy. It really is a candy whistle. You put this candy in your mouth and blow air through the small hole in the center and you will a very loud whistle. It's actually really cool and unique. I have seen these before. They didn't really have much flavor to them. But I love these just because there fun to play with lol. The little box at the bottom had me puzzled what could be inside and then I had to open it and figure out what it was. It is what you would call a surprise, kind of like how cracker jacks come with a little toy inside. It's the same type of thing. Inside of mine was a little dino figure. I had a picture of it but for some reason it didn't download to this blog post so I apologize about that.

 
Next we have Crazy Pops, which look like gummy candies with some liquid inside each one. Gummy candies are my favorite candies ever so I was super excited to see these inside my box. I must say these didn't have too much flavor to them but they still were pretty good. I still liked them and I also liked how they had some liquid goo in the middle. It reminded me a lot of Gushers from back in the day which were my all time favorite.
 
 
 
The last thing In my box is Pocky! I saved the best for last lol. These are amazing and they were my favorite thing in my whole box. I have never seen a box like this that has Pocky. I didn't even know they came in a box this big. I have only seen the little boxes before so this was very exciting to see how big the box was lol. Another thing that was really different about this Pocky is that the biscuits themselves were chocolate which I have never seen before.
 
 
Inside the box of Pocky there was three individual packages which was awesome. Right away I had to have one pack to try...just for you guys lol. I thought these were amazing they reminded me  lot of chocolate covered strawberries. Like a lot of you guys already know I am not a huge fan of chocolate but with these they were really good it wasn't too much, it was just the right amount.
 

 
So that's all that was in my Muchpak box this month. I am highly impressed with how many products came in this box and how many of them I actually liked too lol. I think this is a pretty cool and unique box. I think you should check it out and see if this box is right for you!
 
 

Japan Crate Subscription Box! Review

 
 
I am so sorry to be sharing this review a little late with all of you guys! For some reason this blog post has been in my drafts for quite some time and I have just noticed it sitting there! I apologize for the delay but it's better late then never right? Today I will be looking at Japan Crate which is a subscription service that sends you Japanese stuff in one box straight to your door! These boxes are filled with food and other fun things. I am excited to see what's waiting inside of this box! So lets get on to this review!

 
So right away this is what I see when I open up this box. As you can see this box is really filled up to the max. This is a pretty big box too so I can only imagine how many things are inside of this box. Let's find out!


These two papers were sitting right on top of the box. One tells you all the products that inside this box. It translates it into English which is extremely helpful because all of the packaging of each item is written in Japanese which I can't read...at all lol.

 
The very first thing inside is a bag of Chips. These tasted just like your normal lays potato chips. There wasn't anything too special about these but I did eat them lol.

 
Pocky is up next! I'm sure most of you know what that is and incase you don't ill explain. It's a biscuit stick covered in some type of flavor. These are covered in chocolate. I have to say I opened these with my boyfriend which was a huge mistake we were fighting over these. They are sooo good! I'm not even a huge fan of chocolate but these were soo good! They have the perfect amount of chocolate, not too much and not too little either.

 
Next we have some other type of gummy candy I think. It looks like this flavor is going to be like a milk flavor which really makes me nervous lol. I actually like these, there really hard to explain. It tastes just like regular gummies that you would find in the store.


Up next we have another candy. I can't read a thing on these expect for the word "POM" which I have no idea what that means. By the packaging I can tell these are going to be orange flavored. I'm not a huge fan of orange but I tried them just to see if I would like them. I surprised myself. These were like  gummy candy that was covered in sugar and these were really good. I love gummy candies so these were a hit with me!

 
Next we have something else I cant read either lol. These are soft chews that taste like strawberries. I must say these were pretty darn amazing and I think they have to be my favorite thing that was in this entire box. I loved these and they were so soft and yummy!


This is another snack that looks just like pocky. This flavor of this one is pizza. This sounds amazing lol. I shared these with my boyfriend as well and we both really liked them. I would have to say these are really different but I did really like. Sometimes a little different is good sometimes :)

 
Next we have a pack of gum next with Where's Waldo on the front of it. This is just your everyday bubble gum, it wasn't bad and it wasn't great.


Next there is an adorable box with Hello Kitty on it. Just by the packaging I could tell these were going to be just like Pocky, which are one of my favorites. These were really good too. They tasted just like Strawberry Pocky that I have tried probably a million times lol. I thought they were yummy and the fact that Hello Kitty was on the front made it even better in my opinion lol.

 
This is probably the strangest thing that was in the entire box in my opinion lol. These are little candies in the flavor of Birthday Cake which one of my all time favorites, so right away I was interested in these lol. They look like giant smarties, like a big hard candy and let me just say at first I was hesitant to if I really liked these or not but then I tried one more and realized they are actually pretty good. It really catches you off guard because there really isn't a candy in the United States like these.

 
The last food item that came in this box is this lol. That's really all I can say because look at the packaging, I cant read a thing from this lol. It looks like these are either potato flavored or bread. It's really hard to tell from the picture. I really didn't want to try these but I did anyways lol. It had the same consistency as like a caramel chew. It was really soft and came in little cubes. I couldn't figure out what the flavor was except for the fact I didn't really care for them at all. They had a real buttery taste to them which was a little odd.


Look what's next! They included a drink! That's so cool! I was definitely surprised to see this in the box. Most of the subscription boxes I have tried never come with a drink, so this was something that was a little different to see inside. I was super anxious to try this so I had to right away. I'd say this is kind of like a carbonated Lemonade with not a lot of sugar, it was a little bit bland, it wasn't terrible it just isn't something I would normally drink.


 
They included two pens next in this box as you can tell from this one, it's a little different then your pens you find in the U.S this one has a totally different tip to it which is kind of cool. I love the way this one writes as well.
 
The last pen in this box is a Sanrio pen, which was a hit for me lol. I am a huge Sanrio fan so I really like how this was included in my box. I think adding little stuff to this box is such a cute idea as well.

 
Overall I'm impressed. I love how big this box was. It came with the most stuff I have ever gotten in any other subscription box ever. The assortment of the items are pretty great too. It came with food, a drink and some pens. Even though all of the food wasn't that good and there are a few things I wont eat it was still really cool to have a closer looks at some of things they have in Japan and now I am familiar with some things that I do like from there. I love the whole concept behind this box I think it's such a cool idea and you really do get your money's worth. I would definitely suggest going to check out this box on your own and trying it. You will love it!!

Hatchery Subscription Box! Review





 
I have yet again another subscription review for all of you today. The one I will be reviewing for you all is called Hatchery. This is a food related box. Each month you get a box filled with ingredients you can use to cook with. All of which are super unique and pretty one of a kind. Each box comes with a guide on the all the ingredients that includes info such as who made the item, where it was made, and what's in it. I forgot to add that each item in this box was made by different people or brands that your not going to find in your local super market, which is why Hatchery is so unique.

 
This is the box that contains all the awesome food! You guys have no idea how excited I am to get into this box and try some of these things out!

 
First thing I see on top of my box is this Hand written letter from Jackie who works for Hatchery. I love getting hand written notes in my products I receive for reviews it makes me feel fancy lol. Don't judge me I know it's a little weird. Underneath the note is the Tasting guide I was telling you all about a little earlier in this blog post. Inside this you will find a list of everything that you will find inside your box along with the description of each product so your not clueless if you have no idea what something is.

 
Underneath the tasting guide I can see all of the products that inside this box. It looks like there is going to be 5 things in this box. Everything in this box is individually wrapped it is own paper. All of the items are then placed in shredded up pieces of paper to add for extra safety when it's being shipped to your door. I must say everything arrived in perfect condition, so that isn't something you will need to worry about when ordering your own box :)

 
The very first item that is in my box is by American Juice Company. This is an all natural craft cocktail blend. Right away just by reading what this product is I can tell this is going to be something that I will like. I love the packaging for this juice, how it's in a glass jar too! This is a 2oz sample size.

 
Now I will get into a small description of the item for those of you how are a bit confused to what this exactly is. This is their juice that's called Ginger Gershwin. It says that you can mix this with a lot of different things or you can just drink it alone. The flavors that are in this juice are citrus and ginger, so there is going to be a little bit of a kick to it. The samples of what it would go great with are cocktails, popsicles, smoothies and tea. This is an all natural product and gluten free too!
 
 
Next up we have a salad dressing from Balsamo's kitchen. I am a huge fan of salad dressings, and I am always trying some new ones too! I think this is going to be a hit with me! This is also a 2 oz sample size.
 
 
This is called their 7 salad dressing. The base of this dressing is canola oil. It also contains garlic, turmeric, and paprika. You can use them several ways as well such as with salads, chicken, pizza and pasta. I have to say I couldn't help myself and I had to try this one right away. It tasted so great, it really reminded me a lot of Italian dressing but so much better. I am definitely going to be using the rest of this dressing!

 
The next product we have that's in this box is by Savour this Kitchen. This is a little different from the last two that are in this box. This is a spice blend. They call this nomad spice blend. This is an all natural, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free blend which is awesome too! There are several ways you can use this product such as on pork, chicken, lamb and potatoes.
 
 
Next we have an item from Jammy Yummy. This is their red pepper jam. This sounds a little different from the traditional sweet jam that I have been used to my whole life. I am pretty excited to try this out sense it's so different. This is a really thick jam made with bell peppers and a little bit of sugar for some added sweetness. This goes great with chicken, sandwiches, salads and cheese. This is also all natural, gluten free, vegan and a vegetarian product.

 
The last item that's in my box is by Soft Peaks Confection and this is their Chai Spice Dulce. So this is more like a sweeter item and could be used as a desert. This is sweetened with condensed milk heavy whipping cream to give it it's thick consistency. This would go great with cakes, cookies or fruit. This is a vegetarian product as well.

 
That's it for this box! As you can see there was so much packed into this box I am highly impressed! I love how all the products in here are so different and not like your normal everyday grocery finds. This is great for people who have strict diets such as gluten free or vegans. Most of these products that were in my box cater to those types of people with that as their diets.  I must say I am so excited to experiment with all of these food items and try some new things! I think this is such a great idea for a subscription box and think it's definitely worth checking out, just to even try. I can assure you that you will love this box!

Rising Sun Snacks! Subscription Box Review! & Coupon Code


I don't know about all of you but when It comes to trying some new foods I am all about it lol. When I heard about this brand I was super excited to try it out and review it for all of you. This is a subscription service that brings yummy food right to your door! What else could you possibly want lol. The box that I will be reviewing is their February box. I am super excited to share this box with all of you today!
 

 The box that I am reviewing for you today came with 5 different snacks!

 
The very first thing that was in this box was a snack called Strawberry cocoa granola. Just by the name alone I knew this was going to be something that I would really enjoy :) I am a huge fan of granola and strawberry, to be honest thought I am not a huge chocolate person, but I'm always up for trying some new things. This is super rich snack. I think the flavor is pretty amazing, and spot on to it's name. I could easily sit down and eat this whole bag, but I don't think that would be a good choice lol. I ate this two different ways, I simply just snacked on it, and then I added this to the top of my oatmeal. I liked adding this to my plain oatmeal it gave some really good extra flavor. I think this is perfect. I bet this would be amazing in yogurt as well. Overall I think this is a pretty good snack, and probably one of the best granolas I have ever had. I have never tried anything quite like before. Most of the granolas that I have ever tasted were just plain, or a cinnamon flavor, so I really like how different this one is.

 
 
Up next we have Cupid's Arrow, which is a trail mix. Can we just take  minute and talk about how adorable the name is. I love how they named this to go with the Valentines theme for their February box. I am a gigantic fan of trail mixes so I knew right away that I would more then likely love this. In this trail mix there are cranberries, yogurt covered raisins almonds, cashews and chocolate covered expresso beans. Is your mouth watering yet? Because mine is lol. I love the combination of all these flavors, I was pretty surprised by how well of these went together. I think my favorite ingredient in this mix was the chocolate covered expresso beans. It is a super strong flavor, but if your a big coffee nut like myself then you will love these too! I'm not a huge fan of cashews or almonds but I do have to say in this mix they tasted really good.


 
The next snack is Cinnasweet pretzels. This was the most fought over snack in this box lol. My boyfriend and I were fighting over these, lets just say they didn't last too long in the house. These are pretty simple, they are just cinnamon sugar covered pretzels. I was so amazed with the flavor of these too. The saltiness of the pretzels, with the sweet cinnamon just go perfectly together. I think out of the entire box this was my favorite snack. I hope they carry these again in the future I was really impressed with these. 


 
Dark chocolate tropical fruits is up next. This a mix of papaya and pineapple, with some pieces covered in dark chocolate. This is another rich snack. I couldn't see eating more then just a piece or two of these, they are really tasty, but also really sweet as well. I don't really like dark chocolate but I tried it anyways. I think they did a good job at not putting too much chocolate, which was something I was a little worried about. I think the fruit was amazing. The texture was really nice, it was easy to eat and was really soft which I was kinda surprised about


 
The last snack that was in this box is called Cacao goji energy bites. It as healthy as it sounds lol. I have tried some of these "power balls" before but nothing quite like this. This one contains a lot of ingredients such as coconut, dates, and sunflower seeds. It doesn't stop their with the ingredients the list really does keep going lol. I would say these were probably my least favorite in the box. I think the chocolate flavor was a little strong for my liking, but lets just say they got eaten. My boyfriend was a huge fan of these. I think the flavor for these were a little strong too. I did like the texture of these, I have tried foods like this before and they are usually really dry, but these weren't they were really soft and squishy which really surprised me.

 
That's it for this months Rising Sun Snacks. I have to say that I am super impressed with this subscription box. I have tried a lot of food boxes before, but I do have to say this is the best one I have tried yet. The portions are really big, and I love how all the bags are re-sealable. This is perfect if your like me and have to try everything right away lol. I also really like how the ingredients and nutrition facts are on the back of each snack. I think this is an amazing box and I'm proud to announce that there will be more reviews from this box coming as well!
 
I want to thanks everyone at Rising Sun Snacks for including me in this. I am so excited to see what's in store for next month's box.
