First you must smell the box, then sit by it, the lay down next to it.

He needed to be groomed but dang, he is flipping adorable!!

Ooo! I LOVE the new paper/wrapping for BarkBox- too cute.

First look!

Boom!

Two cards this time. The info card (which is always adorable) and an "activity" card. I like the idea. I've never gotten one before so I think it's a new thing for BarkBox.

Barkworthies- Natural Treat Stick: So this was my first item to take pics of. Why? Since taking pics of BarkBox is a tricky thing. Henry goes crazy immediately, he KNOWS it's for him. And he WANTS the treats. I have to take all the "everything together" pics first and then take pics of products so I can immediately let him have each one. It's adorable. When I saw this all-natural treat stick from Barkworthies, I was stoked. Henry is a big chewer and our house is littered with bully sticks and he plows through dental chews and such, plus Barkworthies sends out the best products for your pup- healthy and natural. Henry devoured this. It was really cute. He was unsure for about 1/2 a second and then ran away since he always thinks we will take his treats back?? Weirdo. These are "treat" sticks, so different than what I'm used to seeing and we loved it! Might have to get some more! Price: $1.58

Barkworthies- 6" Bully Stick: Odor-free?? Yes, please. Bully sticks are stank-tastic so odor free is amazing! This is a grass-fed bully stick too which is huge for me. This was a no-brainer, Henry loved it. The end. Price: $4.20

Planet Dog- Orbee-tuff Raspberry: Umm. What the blank is this? It smells like mint. No joke. How weird, right? Or amazing!!! Henry is crazy for this toy. He brings it everywhere and it is supposed to be super durable which is great for a chomper like our pup. It's a treat toy too but we don't do that tons. Henry prefers to run around like a crazy man with it. His new fav, replacing the balls from last month. These toys are just the perfect size! Oh, and they donate 2% of all their proceeds. Awesome. Price: $5.99

Bocce's Bakery- Green Juice Treats: I can't say it enough, BarkBox provides me with a never-ending supply of amazing treats that my pup loves and are made with GOOD ingredients. This is our second Bocce's Bakery bag from BarkBox which is great with us. These treats are sooo good for your pup and they are Henry approved. Price: $9.50

Loving Pets- Grill-icious Beef Treats: 100% all-natural beef with sweet potato... and that's it. Really, no more ingredients. This is all about the beef. They look like mini burgers and are huge for Henry. We had a hard time breaking them so just gave him a whole one. Well, he made his way through it quite quickly so obviously he was a fan. We are going to chop them into smaller pieces but I think it's a winner. Price: $7.99

Verdict: Altogether this BarkBox ended up being $29.26 which is a little over the box's cost although when people sign up I HIGHLY recommend getting a 3-month or more sub (we started with 3 months I think) since it greatly enhances the value. Well, another winner in our household with this month's BarkBox. I always love the boxes but I'm also shocked sometimes by what Henry thinks. I would never buy a mint-scented ball for him and turns out he loves it! Thanks BarkBox- you win again! Sign up for this awesome box using referral link and you will get $5 off your first box. 

I wasn't planning on taking a pic of the envelope but I loved what I saw when I peeked inside! Cold packs! I was wondering what they were going to do in the summer months since even when it isn't chocolate you are gonna get some HOT candy!

Plastic wrap sealed and two keep-em-cold buddies for the trip!

The box!

I love the quote: Like likes a box of chocolates. Hehe.

First look. I LOVE their design btw.

The info card.

Treatsie is soo different in that they don't send out info on your treats, you have to go online to look them up and there is TONS of info about each product!

TREATS!!

The Caramel House- Naked Turtle Caramel, Vanilla Caramel, and Beer & Pretzel Caramel: I LOVE caramels so I didn't even wait to look these up and split one immediately with CJ. It was the beer & caramel one that has a wafer of pretzel in the middle- craziness. The flavor was amazing!!! The beer wasn't noticeable except it tasted gooood!! The others? Phenomenal! I'm a sucker for a plain vanilla caramel but all three were excellent. CJ and I have to say these are some of the best caramels ever. Yes, EVER!! Sooo good. I really want to try the Cookie and Caramel variety- since it sounds amazing. Yeah, I'm blabbing now but these were great. Price: $5

Loblolly Creamery Honey Vanilla Bean Marshmallows: Last month's marshmallows were my fav part of the box so I was excited to see even more homemade mallow-ness. Uh- heavenly. CJ and I LOVED these and they are made with the best ingredients! Pure cane sugar, local wildflower honey, sea salt, Madagascar vanilla beans. Hmm. We should have saved some for s'mores! 

Price: No idea! I'll guess $4-$5 

nutwhats- cashew coconut scribble: What the what are nutwhats? Haha, I'm clever. Really though, I had no idea what to expect from these. Well, their motto is "twistedly addictive confections." Woah- are they right? These were amazing! I didn't think I'd love it (coconut) but it's just out of this world. CJ and I couldn't get enough of these- we tried to hold back but they are just so good! Price: ~$6

nutwhats- pecan scribble: Same deal as above, so good. I really can't pick a fav since they were both amazing but I might lean towards to pecan scribble. I WISH these were available to buy online but the individual bags aren't... yet! I really can't get across how good these were! Price: ~$6

Verdict: It's SOOO hard to price these since SOMEHOW Treatsie finds these amazing treats in little shops around the country but I estimated around $21 for this $15 box. The marshmallows are not available online (lucky Little Rock folks) and the nutwhats are available as gift boxes and in bulk online only right now so really the best way to get 'em is by subscribing to Treatsie! I'll say it again but I obviously loved this box of treats! 

How much did I love it? I contacted Treatsie (since they are amazing and do giveaways too-I mean I won one last month!) and asked if they would give a box to a reader and... they are!!!

That's right, a free month of this amazing box of wonderfulness for free!

Definitely looks like a good deal. I think my bf would really like this. My dad might like it. I do like the mix of grooming and grilling. 

IF you buy it make sure to go to the Bonus Shop for extra goodies with purchase. I think the scarf and Tri-Fecta set.

Yeah! I'm catching up on reviews starting with a NEW box for me and a relatively new subscription service. I actually found Ophelia's Apothecary through a reader and I didn't know too much about what to expect- they launched in April! I was so excited since I love indie products aka small businesses and homemade schtuff! Less talking more reviewing! 

Umm this arrived in a day!! A Day!! The fastest shipping ever! Bravo!

A quick untainted peek. Yep, spillage occurred... sad face.

The theme btw is Ocean Mermaid Goddesses. Fancy!

As happens sometimes, some spillage occurred. Boo. I was so bummed at first but the only real "damage" but to my info sheet and my umbrella- which I was bummed about. I love those details.

three.in.one bubble bath, body wash, and shampoo in "Oceane": First up, the offender! Yep, this was what leaked. Boo. Ophelia's Apothecary (Deborah) seems super nice and I'm sure she would've replaced it but I didn't bother since most of it was left in the bottle. My bf cleaned up the bottle while I took pics and he kept commenting on how good it smelled! Stop the presses. My bf likes this scent? Sign me up! Really though, it smells sooo good. I've had a three in one before from Philosophy and I used it all the time for bubble bath and body wash so this is a big go for me! Price: $12

Shea, sea salt, and sugar Luxe body buff in Coralia: This stuff looks awesome! I love a good sugar scrub so I knew right off the bat I'd like this and I'm interested to use it with the mix of sea salt and shea. And the smell? Awesome sauce. The sugar btw is vegan cane sugar- I love going the extra mile in things! Price: $7.50

shea butter lip balm in pink lemonade: I had been warned prior to getting my box by Ophelia's Apothecary that this could be melty. She usually doesn't ship lip balms too late and this May has been steamy in a lot places. All you have to do is let it cool down when you get it but I needed no warning since mine arrived 100% perfect. No joke. This is amazing. Repeat. Amazing. This has a permanent place in my purse (which is the only lip stuff that has a permanent spot) and is maybe my all-time fav lip balm ever. Strong words, I know. It smells great, feel great, and probably tastes great too! I'm so glad Ophelia's Apothecary decided to include this cause it's amazing!!! These vegan balms are gluten-free and the shape keeps them from rolling away- again, it's all in the details! Price: $5.25

*P.S. The other flavors/scent look amazing- check 'em out on their site since I don't want to list ALL of them.

Perfume Oil in Sirene: I'll be glib for a minute and say I don't love perfume roller balls. I have no idea why, they are just meh to me. I have one I like, but the others all have weird roller balls or don't smell great. Whatever. Anyway, I wasn't expecting great things with this. Boom. Wrong. The roller ball is perfect, dispensing enough without seeming like it's leaking and the smell AGAIN knocks it out of the park for me. I totally recommend Sirene. It's gooood. Price: $10

This is a total side-note but mid-opening the last product, I realized I didn't take pictures of the pretty packaging. Everything was individually wrapped in such an adorable way. Super cute.

Handmade Mermaid Anklet: This is super cute and obviously fits in the theme. It's a bit big for a bracelet (it is an anklet) but for show reasons I slid it on and because of the materials was easily able to twist it up and make it a bracelet. They should call this a two in one. This is just a cute piece of jewelry with a vintage pearl sea shell attached. Too cute. I'm not a big anklet wearer but I'll give it a try. Price: $10

Verdict: Umm, yeah, I'm sold. For $15 I got $44.75 in products. I checked my math again and that's right! Craziness. I love all the products and I can't believe it but my bf liked all the scents. You know you have a good thing when everyone likes the smell. That lip balm is freaking heavenly and am tempted to buy more right now... but I'll wait until I run out... Anyway, I totally recommend this box based on what I got- go take a look on Ophelia's Apothecary now and check it out- they have a spoiler pic (top left) of their June box which looks stellar and don't forget to mention ME (broke beauty blogger) when you sign up for free goodies!!!
