March Hammock Pack Review
I have loved Hammock Pack for awhile- it was going to be my "I Wish Wednesday" one week and blah blah blah- I even every so often check their tumblr to see what I'm missing. Well, I started this blog and decided screw it, here's my money, I'll sign up. This box is super themed so I was nervous to see if March's theme fit me or not. I saw one spoiler hint picture but couldn't piece together the theme or anything. A complete surprise box- I love that!Hammock Pack:
Type: Lifestyle Box
Cost: $25/month + $5 shipping
What is it?: From website: "Every month, you’ll receive a surprise pack filled with everything you need to take a much-needed getaway without even leaving your home. Whether it’s as simple as a movie night or mementos from that exotic vacation you can’t find the time to take. So relax and let a little “me time” come to you." Some previous themes have been Sailing, Italy, Camping, Bed & Breakfast, and Beach Day.
I was so excited to see this on my doorstep for two reasons: 1- It was moving day #2 and I need a boost
2- It was moving day aka new mail arrival spot- so glad this one came before we moved!
I think this may be my favorite unboxing to date! I love me some details and the detail of fake flower petals was perfect! Perfect tie-in to the theme: Spa Day!
Info card- you know the deal. Loved this one though with info including where the company is.
How sneaky is this packaging? I cant believe they fit everything under the shavings!
My stuff! It looks heavenly!
Teatulia Organic Green Tea: First off, if you got 'em, use 'em- yep, those petals are in all my pics- very spa-y. Anyway, I've gotten some Teatulia recently in other boxes but only a bag or two not a full thing like this! I love the packaging. I love green tea. I love that it is from Denver (Coloradoan here). Tea is relaxing and be honest, don't you feel better and pseudo-healthy when you drink it? I do. Price: $4.99
Aura Cacia Aromatherapy's Milk & Oat Bath: Did I mention we were moving? Only a million times right? Well, what is better after moving than a bath in your nice new tub! I threw this in pronto and guess what? It's awesome. I am a big proponent of treating yourself (Parks & Rec fans? Treat yo' self!) and this did just that. I got the Lemon Balm version- there was also a Lavender one sent out- I am guessing they are equally great. I love Aura Cacia too btw- their essential oils are amazing- put some lavender in your bath or on your pillow to mellow out! Side note: I was in whole foods yesterday and these packets were in the Easter Basket item section- what a great idea! Price: $3.29
Perennial Soaps in Eucalyptus: There were two brands of soaps sent out- this one and Ayelet- both looked nice- this one was prettier to me so I'm happy with what I got. This is a artisanal vegan soap by the way. Bars of soap are not my thing so I am really hoping this doesn't go to waste (I'm a Body Wash & Liquid Soap girl- so sue me). I am thinking of putting this in our half bath for guests- maybe they will see fancy soap and think we're fancy... Price: $5
Good Cacao's Superfood Chocolate: This "guilt-free" treat has antioxidants, Omega oils, and vitamins inside! I was bummed at first because I was craving chocolate but I hate coconut stuff. Unless it's an actual coconut in front of me- I don't want it. Well, I caved into my craving and yum, yum, yum, this was delicious! Not overly bitter and no coconut taste- this stuff was delicious. Win win! Price: $5.69
One- yes, that price is correct. Two- the other varieties they have look amazing! Lemon Ginger Immunity? Come to me!
Dang Foods' Coconut Chips: Alright, I know I hated on coconut but this seems more like something I can handle- pure coconut- not some nasty stuff on top of a cake (which is then ruined!) This healthy snack will give you some energy to boost- I will munch away on them when I can find where they are... Price: $3.19
*Update: Found them, tried them, and DANG they are good! Seriously though. I am salivating writing this- hurry up and finish typing so I can eat more!
Aqua Blossom's Facial Steam: This vegan product is supposed to lift my mood and pamper my skin. Two for one awesomeness? I'll take it. Steams/oils/candles are all scents to make you feel better and they totally work. I am sooo excited to try this. This seems very spa-like which I love! Price: $3.50
How cute is this box? This was in the sneak peek picture and based on the packaging I wanted it so bad!
Ok- now I'll show you what is inside!
Aqua Blossom's Lip Polish: This second Aqua Blossom product is a buttercream lip polish. This is my first lip polish and I love the little bugger. It even comes with a little spatula. Plus, buttercream makes me want cupcakes and even thinking of cupcakes gives me happy thoughts. Price: $8
Verdict: This box's value came out to $33.66 so a few dollars over what I paid at $30. I have to say, I love this box. I love the idea and I love what I got. The hardest thing about this box was taking the picture with all the stuff! Notice how there are two different ones? At the top and bottom? That's because I was so frustrated trying tot get everything into the picture I had to get my bf to try. Don't guess which one is mine and which is his, just assume the better one is his. Anyway, it's a good problem when there is too much stuff, well, too much good stuff. I had only heard of a few brands before and even knowing the brands, all but one product was completely new to me. I signed up for a one-time pack and was going to re-sub down the line after putting my money towards trying boxes but while writing this review I can see how much I enjoy this box and want to see what comes next! I definitely recommend this box for someone looking for a fun box- you never know what you are going to get, but you know it is going to be good. I have to decide if my bank account can stomach subbing this again right now but I was thinking, wouldn't this box make a perfect giveaway!? Hmm...
Laura, this box is definitely a good one, what a perfect getaway theme! This is one of the subs I want to try in the future, so I've been looking at recent reviews. Btw, I love coconut chips (buy the Trader Joe's variety), but never heard of the Dang Foods kind.

ReplyDeleteWow, this box looks really good! I think it is 2nd on my list of "wants" right now. My first is Benefit Fake Up! (Yeah, not a sub box. :p)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing- keep reading the blog- hint hint- to get the box. And Benefit Fake Up- I want it too! I am so curious to see if it really works.
