Recommendations: I was so surprised when I checked the mailbox and saw a Ruby Crate for my sister and me. We couldn’t wait to open the box to see what was inside! I liked how everything was doubled, so my sister and I got the same things. Everything was packaged so beautifully and there were so many great items, such as pink pineapple lip balm, a personalized necklace, and the most amazing drink containers, to name just a few things. The pineapple-shaped lip balm was so cute and the strawberry-banana flavour smells delicious. I was so surprised when I saw that my initial was hand-stamped on the necklace, I felt very special! The colours on the water bottle are so fun and trendy, perfect for summer! This is the second time I was lucky enough to get a Ruby Crate (see our Fall 2020 Ruby Crate review here) and once again my sister and I love everything!!! This Canadian subscription box, made by a mother and daughter, is truly amazing! I would recommend this box for any teen and tween girls who love to have a special box just for themselves! – Review from 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!
