Flat Notes Stationary – Graphique de France

An adorably packaged set of ‘thank you’ note cards and envelopes.

This is a lovely surprise this month as I love stationary and it is something completely different inside my Mommy Mailbox.

Skin Toner – Cultivar Organic Holistic Skincare

An organic skin toner cleanser, that helps balance sebum production for both too oily and too dry skin types. It helps prime skin for moisturizers and make-up, removes make-up, soothes over-stressed skin and helps minimize redness.

I cannot wait to try this facial cleanser. The packaging looks a little drab, but I think it will be a great product!

Hydrating Lip Balm – Wellsmith

A hydrating lip balm made without the use of dangerous ingredients you often find in other lip balms.

I use lip balm all the time, so when I saw this inside my box I was thrilled! I cannot get enough chap-stick and I love trying new ones.

Energy Breath Mints – Viter Energy

A breath mint packed with B-Vitamin Complex and caffeine that will also keep your breath fresh.

An interesting product I have not heard about energy boosting breath mints, I cannot wait to try it. Now I can have the caffeine boost without the calories in my specialty coffees. Good thing I read this description before I let my kids try these…:)

Enamel Pin Card – Fred & Far

Fred & Far have a mission to spread love to women everywhere. Their jewelry is a reminder to love yourself first. The future is bright and so are you.

All of their pins have an amazing powerful message. Not to mention that they are super cute and I love the rose gold colour!

Verdict: The April Mommy Mailbox was filled with some amazing different items than I have never seen inside my past boxes. Stationary is so hot right now, I was so excited to get this and it looks so cute! I cannot wait to spread my love for these cards by sending thank you notes to everyone, haha! The other unique item inside my box was energy breath mints, this is something completely new to me, I never even knew this type of product existed, but it may soon become my new go to calorie-wise caffeine boost. Thanks for another amazing Mommy Mailbox, I was thrilled with some completely new items this month as well as some great beauty favorites!

I was so excited when this box came in the mail! I love supporting Canadian businesses and even more this one was local to Calgary, where I live! I myself have a few other small businesses and I know the importance and value of supporting small business entrepreneurs.

Each House Box comes with an information card detailing each item in your box for that month. Then at the bottom they give you the website link for their store, so if you found something you really loved in the box you can buy more 🙂 The theme of this months box was Spring Cleaning…the items in the box didn’t really have much to do with spring cleaning, more just daily cleaning and living.

Dizolve Eco-Strips – Laundry Detergent

64 loads – $12.99

Tiny eco-strip with big cleaning power. I may have to put a load of laundry on to to try out these strips out. I am always looking for a more eco-friendly option for my family, but have yet to find one that cleans as well as the chemicals 🙁

The Laundry Tarts – Sweet Spot Stain Remover

$19.99 (3 pack)

A stain remover made with an all-natural ingredients and is safe for sensitive skin. Bonus…it may also lighten pre-existing, old stains. Having two small kids, we use stain removers a lot! This stick would be so convenient and no mess like the other stain removers.

JBK Pottery – Pot Minder

$5

Keeps pots from boiling over. Place disk in pot when cooking potatoes or pasta. My family needs this so much… I cannot wait to try it out!

Tupperware

A great way to support small, local businesses. Tupperware has been around forever…I’m pretty sure my Mother-in-law has ever piece of Tupperware ever made.

Beelites, Dark Horse Farms – 100% Natural Soap

110g – $4.95

100% natural, free of chemicals, preservatives, harsh detergents, colourants and genetically modified oils. This soap smells so good, it is already in my bathroom!

Yogi Tea

16 bags – $5.49

Certified organic green, herbal and black teas rich in flavor and healthful purpose. Yummy…tea in the morning!

Verdict: I love trying new products, especially household products. This box provided me with the perfect sample of eco-laundry cleaners and other very useful products I probably wouldn’t have know about or tried if not for getting this box. I love that this is a Canadian subscription box supporting other Canadians businesses (with the exception of Yogi Tea from the US). The cost of focusing on Canadian only can be more pricey but the value in supporting other locals sure makes you feel great knowing the money is going directly to the entrepreneur and what a fun surprise each month in the mail!
