Verdict: Since schools closed down in March I began cooking more and more by myself as a hobby. So of course, I felt very excited when I heard that we were getting a new Canadian cooking box coming in the mail! I loved making the apple cider and cake (I still have to make the butternut squash soup)! They were very easy recipes to follow and my whole family thought they tasted delicious! Even my little sister tried them and loved the apple cider! I would recommend CucinaKids to any kids who love cooking and who love to have easy recipes to follow! I can’t wait to see which recipes are in the next box! – Review from Chef Sierra (age 9)

Verdict: I was so excited to receive my Nature’s Wellness box in the mail this month. It is a fun surprise that I look forward to each month because I know that each of the products are going to improve the way I feel both inside and outside my body. Since having received my first box last month, I have activity been trying to think and be mindful of what I am using on my body and putting in my body. I was happy to see such a different assortment of items than last month, yet they are along the same product line focusing on health and wellness. I loved that it included pampering products, as well as, some very practical and useful products too. My favorite products this month would be the face sunscreen and the beeswax wrap. My family spends lots of time enjoying the outdoors and this sunscreen is an essential for my daily life in protecting my skin. I have seen beeswax wraps around over the last few years but never knew much about them. I am so thankful that I am now able to try one out…who knows maybe I’ll have to purchase a few more later on!
