The Cravory Cookie of the Month January Box

Today I want to talk about a cookie subscription box. The Cravory is a cookie company based out of California that was founded in 2009. You can read more about their story here. The Cravory is not just a subscription service. You can order cookies from them whenever you want. You can check out what cookies the have to offer here.

Price
You can get a teaser box which is $9.00 a month plus shipping. This box contains 6 cookies. This is the box I went with. My total for this box was $16. You can also get a One Dozen Box for $19.00 a month plus shipping. The one dozen box includes 2 of whatever flavors are being showcased for the month. There are other prepaid subscription options that you can find right here.

The January Flavors
Like I said earlier I chose to try the teaser box with the 6 new flavors of the month.

First up we have Coco for Lime. This cookie is made with toasted coconut dough and has key lime  A'Peels and toasted coconut as mix-ins, The cookie is finished with a white chocolate drizzle. 

Next we have PB Smoreo. This cookie is made with peanut butter dough and has Oreo's, milk chocolate chunks and marshmallows as mix-ins.

Then we have Walnut Winter. This cookie is made with cinnamon cake dough and has candied walnuts, vanilla A'Peels and a coating of powdered sugar. 

The fourth cookie in January's box is Toffee Chocolate Bar.This cookie has a shortbread dough with a dark chocolate swirl. The cookie has a milk chocolate shell and is dusted with toffee bits.

Cookie number 5 is Hot Cocoa. This cookie is made with milk chocolate dough and has milk chocolate chunks and brûléed marshmallows in the center.

The final cookie in the box was Bourbon & Chocolate. This cookie has a Kentucky Bourbon dough with dark chocolate shavings mixed in.

My Thoughts on the Box

Overall I was very happy with this box. I was so happy that I went back to purchase a dozen of the PB Smoroe's and found that I could purchase a dozen of the January flavors for $24. All of these cookies were delicious. The cookies were very fresh and unbroken, and I received my teaser box only  2 days after I ordered. I love cookies so this box was totally worth it to me! For $9 plus shipping I think its totally worth it to try the teaser box and see if The Cravory's monthly flavors is the subscription for you.

Munchpak December 2014

After a bit of a delay with shipping (which was totally my fault and was handled very quickly by the guys over at Munchpak) I received my very first Munchpak in the mail a few days ago.

What is Munchpak?

Munchpak is a monthly subscription box service that offers snacks from around the world. You can get and original munchpak with 12+ snacks for $21 plus shipping a month or a family size with 22+ for $39 plus shipping. All snacks are full size.

What was in My Munchpak?

I had 12 snacks in my Munchpak and none of them were things I had never heard of or tried before which I was really happy about.

Cheetos Homeados Bolitas Mas Producto. These are a product of Mexico. To me these tasted kind of like the jalapeno Cheetos that we have here in the U.S but not as hot. I liked them alot.

Dora 3 Croissant with custard cocoa filling. This product originates from Italy. I really liked this but my only complaint is that there was not enough custard filling for me.

Delicje Cherry Flavored Biscuits.  This is a product of Europe. It is a soft biscuit with cherry flavored jelly covered with a layer of chocolate. These were also really good.

Bronhi Original Toffee with herb extracts. This is a product of Croatia. It is a soft candy mad with toffee and herbs. I personally didn't like it but my mom and aunt did so they didn't go to waste.

Pure sour and fruity gummy candy in the flavor grape. This is a product of Japan. They were just ther right combination of sour and sweet.

Nestle Lion bar. I'm not sure where his is from. It is a peanut butter wafer covered in caramel then covered by crisp cereal and chocolate. I really liked this as well.

A Guava roll. I'm not sure where this is from either. It is a gummy roll which I assume is guava flavored. I was not a fan of this at all but it wasn't the worst thing in my Munchpak.

Animal Kingdom chocolate bar. This is another product of Croatia. It just a simple chocolate bar but it was really good.

Solen Crazy Extra bar. This product is made in Turkey. It is a milk chocolate coated wafer with crispy rice. I think this was my favorite thing in my Munchpak.

e. frutti Gummi Pizza. I think this is a German product. It was just small gummy pizza slices. I liked it.

BubuLubu candy bar. This is a product of Mexico. It is strawberry flavored jelly and marshmallow covered in chocolate. This was very tasty too.

Some kind of Japanese rice crackers. I didn't get a picture of these because once I tasted one I immediately threw them away. I did not like these at all. They were worst than the guava roll.

And finally we have an unmarked gummy bear. It was also good.

Was it Worth it?

Overall I liked my first Munchpak. It had a wide variety of snacks and the fact that non of them were from the U.S was a big plus to me. Even with the two snacks that I did not like, I enjoyed my first Munchpak and I plan on continuing  my subscription.

Whats in my Box

This is the Tasting Box

Pitted Green Olives by Olympos. I personally despise olives so I gave them to my aunt. She really enjoyed these.

Hazelnut Spread by Nocciolata. This was really tasty. To me it tasted like Nutella but more gourmet.

Cookie Chips by Hannah Max. These were also really good. They were crunchy but not to hard and sweet but not to sweet. Everything about these were just perfect.

Espresso Candies by Bali's Best. I'm also not a fan of coffee or espresso so I also gave these to my aunt. She liked these a lot too. She said they did taste like espresso but not so much that it was like eating a cup of espresso.

Chocolate Honey Mints by Honey Acres.  These tasted like peppermint patties with a drop of honey. They are gluten free so that' a plus in my book. Good thing they only sent 2 because I could have eaten 20 of these.

Dark Chocolate Coconut by Next By Nature. The best way I can describe them is as a deconstructed mounds bar. 

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels by Liddabit Sweets. These were good but the sea salt was a bit much for me.

Kettle Corn by Oogies. These were great. They were just the right amount of sweet.

Was This Box Worth It

Overall I was very happy with this box. Every thing was delicious.You get to try different healthy snacks and many of these snacks are things I have never heard of or tried. I think this box was well worth it and I plan on continuing my subscription.

Swaag Box December 2014 (T.O.M. Box)

Here we have the next subscription box that was on my list of boxes to try out. This is the Swaag box Swaag Box has changed its name to TomBox. It is a T.O.M box (for those who don't know T.O.M stands for time of the month). When I ordered this box there was a promotion to get your first box for only $2. I opted to  double the makeup and jewelry for $6 extra so I ended up getting this box for $8. The $2 promotion has now ended but you can use this link to try your first box for only $5. This bx is regularly $16 a month plus $6 it you want to double the makeup and jewelry. You can add a 4 pack of Gillette Venus Razors for $12.

What's in the box?

I got 11 items in my box. 

1. Always Infinity Pads with Flex Foam

You get to pick your choice of pads or tampons. This is the brand I chose. The description card that came in the box list these as a $4.99 value.

2. Wet and Wild Fast Dry Nail Polish in the color Penny For Your Thoughts

Retail Value: $2.99

3. Maybelline Color Sensational Whisper Lip Stick in the color 305 Red Around Town

Retail Value: $5.99 

This color does go on red. My dad lighting just makes it look orange :( 

4. L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche leGloss in the color  681 The Muse's Shine 

Retail Value: $5.99

5. Prestige Liquid Glitter Eyeliner in the color Eclipse

Retail Value: $5.99

Retail Value: $4.99

7. Prestige Eyeliner Pencil in Black

Retail Value: $4.99

8. Wet and wild Mega Shield Lipstick in the color Pink Champagne and Bonus Lip gloss in Crystal Clear

Retail Value: $4.99

9. 2 pairs of Chandelier Earrings

Retail Value: $19.95 each

10. Assorted candy

Is this box worth it?

For $8 this box the box pretty much payed for it self with one pair of earrings. The dried eyeliner was a bit of a let down and if I was paying full price for the box I think I would be more upset. Overall I really liked everything in this box and I will probably continue to subscribe to Swaag Box just to see if the dried up makeup was a one time thing or not. At $5 for the first box I wold recommend everyone to try it for themselves. 

Mystery Chocolate Box December 2014 Review

I have recently been wanting to try out more subscription boxes and in my quest for something different I came across a subscription service called Mystery Chocolate Box.

The Cost
You can subscribe to Mystery Chocolate for the following prices:
Monthly- $17.95
3 Months- $50.85
Annual- $191

Ships To
The U.S and Canada

What You Get
Each box contains 3 gourmet mystery chocolate bars, a letter with hints about what each bar might be, instructions on how to do a chocolate box tasting, a card to write down your guesses for each bar, and  a card with nutritional  and allergy info.

This Months Box
 Bar A:

Bar A is described as a candy you might enjoy this time of year, plus a little twist. This bar is from The Madecasse chocolate company (I only know this because its imprinted on the chocolate bar). To me it tastes like dark chocolate with mint flavoring. Kind of like a York's peppermint patty but not exactly.

Bar B: 

The description for bar B says "The spices in this bar might be reminiscent of another sweet holiday treat". This chocolate bar it imprinted with the Theo Chocolate Company logo and like Bar A it tastes like dark chocolate and mint.

Bar C: 

Bar C is described to taste like a hot drink you would enjoy in front of the fire. There is no brand imprint on this bar. I think this bar is milk chocolate and it has little balls of what I assume to be coconut (coconut is listed as an ingredient on the allergy info card).

Is It Worth It?

In my opinion this box is very much worth it. I honestly believe you cant go wrong with chocolate and each bar in this box was absolutely delicious.As a plus,with each box sent out by Mystery Chocolate Box two meals are donated to help fight world hunger. How can you go wrong with getting to try awesome chocolate while helping fight world hunger at the same time? If you're thinking about trying this subscription but your a little skeptical I definitely recommend trying it. I really loved my first Mystery chocolate box
