October + November Juniper Review
It's with a heavy heart that I picked what reviews to do today. Juniper, one of my fav T.O.M. boxes AND food boxes has closed its doors. Lynn (the CEO) announced the closing on Dec. 4th and I will definitely miss my treat-filled boxes! Since you can no longer order this box I didn't know if I should post my 2 reviews but the completionist in me had to post both- PLUS these yummy boxes are fun to look at. No pricings since it didn't seem necessary at this point. Enjoy.
October 2013
Type: T.O.M. Box
Cost: $28/month
What is it?: This company which started up in 2013 delivers a deluxe box complete with your choice of tampons (20+), pads, pantyliners plus treats! Juniper begins each subscription registration by choosing from the 6 brands of tampons they offer (which you get a variety of absorbency) OR pads, then you choose whether you would like backup protection (pads/pantyliners), and if you would like some Midol thrown in! You choose the date you would like to receive the box and then the box has a phone number on it to text so they can track your monthly guest so your box will always be on time and continue customizing your box. Each box comes with a bevy of treats including honey sticks, chocolate, tea, snacks, etc! You get a starter box to begin and after that you work with Juniper to customize based on your needs. This box is no longer available!
The box
First look!
Lynn's Letter's were always fun. This one mentions our fear of Miley Cyrus' tongue-wagging.
Trick-or-Treat Yo' Self. Woot- Parks and Rec shoutout!
No pic of my tampon box but here's the extras bag.
Midol and Kleenex!
Yummies!
Mighty Leaf Teas: I love Mighty Leaf Teas- and these were especially good. Ginger Twist- saucy!
Amella Gray Sea Salt Caramel: Umm yum. These were right up my alley. Devoured. De-vou-red!
New Tree Orange Pearls: These looked amazing and they were! I was a fan but CJ was a BIG fan! I'd never seen these before but imagine those chocolate oranges you eat at Christmas but in bite-size form!
Nature's Kick Honey Sticks: These got lost in my disaster area that is my desk. It's drowning in sub box products. Anyway, I just found them (they were in a baggie of food stuff that was supposed to go down to the kitchen- again, drowning) and can't wait to give the Sour Apply, Sour Cherry, & Blue Raspberry a try.
TCHO PureNotes Dark Chocolates: I've had these TCHO bites a few times and loved them before. I'm not a huge dark chocolate fan but these were definitely nummy.
Bridgebrands Book Lover's Chocolate: Gah! A Milk Chocolate Bar that is called Book Lover's Chocolate? Yes please!! I loved this bar. So good. I did NOT eat while reading but I'll pretend I did. Book Confession: I just re-read all 7 Harry Potter books last week, reading the last 3 within 48 hrs. I was in need of fun reading time, I guess a break from grown-up book, but it's still makes me feel a bit ashamed.
Verdict: I really liked the October box- it was full of chocolate amazingness and I definitely felt like I was being treated. This was a big ol' win for me.
November 2013
November Unboxing
All the Thanks! Love the festive photo! And I want that Turkey tealight holder!
Lynn's Letter = Her thankful list.
1. Scandal, Nashville, The Good Wife. I watch the 1st two and totally agree!
5. Customers. I shall miss you Lynn! I will be on the look-out for whatever venture you start next!
My supplies!
Always good on-the-go!
Clarine's Florentine's: I've gotten this before and it was really good for something with bittersweet chocolate, I gave this one to CJ since he didn't get to try the last one I had (oops).
McSteven's Spiced Apple Cider: This may be my favorite addition in this box. Spiced Cider is such a November thing! It's warm and cozy- and delicious!
Numi Teas: A stand-by solid tea brand, I really liked the Berry Black! Twas' fruity without being too fruity- make sense?
Nature's Kick Honey Sticks: This month featured Clover, Wildflower, and Orange Blossom. Instead of eating them straight up CJ is using them in his coffee. They're versatile little buggers.
Hagensborg Truffle Pigs: I've had these several times, especially because I buy them at Central Market sometimes when I want some delicious chocolate. I had the Milk one (CJ-dark) and it was scrumptious. Better than the PB ones even!
Chocolove- Toffe & Almonds in Milk Chocolate: I love Chocolove. They are always so good and you can't go wrong with toffee, ever! Toffee + Chocolate = Heaven. Chocolove Bar was devoured.
Verdict: This was another great month. I think Oct and Nov were some of my all-time favorites since they hit-the-spot so perfectly for the month they were in.
Dear Lynn & Juniper,
I shall miss you. Thanks for the giant supply for tampons under my bathroom sink, my purse's hidden pocket overflowing with Midol, and my tummy stuffed with delicious treats. You introduced me to so many waistline increasing products and have always had my back each month. If you ever happen to start another business whether it be a sub box or not, I'll be your first customer!
Lovingly,
Laura
