Eiffel ~ Bon Bons Strawberry. (France) Chewy Fruity and deliciously tasty ball shaped candies in strawberry flavor.
Coris ~ Whistle Candy Ramune Cola Flavor. (Japan) These candies are seriously whistles! My co-workers drove me insane with them LOL
Cacahuates Japones ~ (Japanese Style Cocktail Peanuts from MEXICO) Very crunchy, lightly salted and exceptionally delicious. These Japanese style cocktail peanuts are a great snack no matter where you are.
Osem ~ Bissli Multi-Pack Falafel (Israel) Tasty wheat crackers that have an exceptional crunch. This particular version comes in the super yummy Falafel flavor.
Hi-Chew ~ Fruit Chews (Japan) Delicious Hi-Chew Fruit Chews Flavors include Stawberry, Grape, Mango, Green Apple and Melon
My bag didn’t come with a product list BUT the Munch Pak website has a listing of most of their snacks. VERY helpful. I didn’t find the package that has “99” on it. I gave it to a co-worker before I got feedback. 🙁
This is the first “world” treat bag I’ve really enjoyed. I like getting snacks from many different companies. Is this for you? If so what size are you choosing? I must resist the family size option!!

Fit Snack ~ May 2015
Fit Snack is a subscription box that features a curated selection of snacks that can be easily incorporated into any diet.
They have a set of guidelines that help them choose items that are both well balanced and nutrient dense. When selecting products to include in the box, they use the Fit Snack “Perfect 10″. Basically, they look for snacks that fall into one or more of these categories: Nutrient Dense (high in protein, complex carbs, low sugar index), Consciously Made (GMO free, organic production, sustainably farmed), and Diversified Energy (gluten free, clean eating, paleo, raw).
Each month will contain 6 to 9 healthy items that have total retail value of at least $30. While most of the items fall into the “snack” category, they also send cooking mixes, and oils.
PRICE: $24/month (shipping included), or less with longer, multi-month commitments. They also ship worldwide.
This is my favorite month so far!
Kameda Crisps ~ Sweet Chili Snack . A gluten-free snack with crispy rice crackers and roasted peanuts with sweet chili flavor. BF loved them!
Jackson’s ~ Honest Chips (Sweet Potato) Organic, Non-GMO, and Heirloom potatoes are cooked low and slow in organic coconut oil for a crispy, satating crunch. SO TASTY!
Snack Out Loud Foods ~ Crunchy Bean Snack. Jalapeno Cheddar and Smoky Chipotle BBQ. Not my thing, but co-workers gobbled them up QUICK. Crunchy foods are a hit in my office.
Go Raw ~ Chewy Apricot Sprouted Bar. They’re made with sprouted organic flax seeds, apricots, raisins, dates, and lime juice. 100% organic, non-GMO ingredients.
Numi ~ Emperor’s Pu-erh Organic Tea x2. Pu-erh is an ancient healing tea that’s richer than black tea and provides a natural boost of energy, focus, & clarity.
Zouq Foods ~ Golden Lentils. A high protein snack made with golden lentils and sea salt. They’re gluten-free, vegan, and make a convenient on-the-go snack. They actually taste better than they sound. IMP anyway.
Wondergrain ~ Sorghum. A pretty versatile grain. It’s supposed to absorb the flavors of the other foods cooked with it (much like tofu) so it can be used in a lots of different dishes. Gluten, Choesterol free and high in protein, fiber and iron. Also included was a recipe that utilizes the package of Wondergrain Sorghum.
E-Hydrate ~ Drink Mixx4 (LemonLime, Grape, Red Berry & Orange). An all-natural powdered drink mix that contains more electrolytes than leading sports drinks. 4 different flavors were included.
Oberto ~ Beef Jerkyx 2. All Natural YUMMY beef jerky. Great source of protein!
In addition to the goodies in the box you get a workout for the month and a recipe that uses one of your items. This box really stands out to me and I’ve enjoyed every month that I’ve got it. I’ve got to try NEW to me foods that I actually enjoy and they toss in a few oldies, like jerky. I highly recommend this box.

Off the bat I’m going to say I LOVE this month’s box. The theme is “Bake”. I’m a sucker for home baked goods. 🙂
I have an ever growing collection of their Mexican Palm Leaf Basket. The ones I have so far fit into each other. Their value is $12.
Kelapo’s ~ Sri Lanka Coconut Oil sachets x 3 ($3) Fair trade coconut oil. I like this brand. I’ve received packets from several sub boxes so I’m yet to buy a bottle. I will though once my supply runs out.
Toockie’s ~ India Scrub Cloths x 2 ($12) Interesting hand knit mult-purpose clothes. Made from organic cotton & Jute. They are also biodegradable. These would make perfect trivets!
Just Good Chocolate ~Peru Better World Brownie Mix. ($13) YAY! Who doesn’t love home made brownies. For each bag sold, the company donates 25 cents to On The Ground. A global organization that supports development in Fair Trade farming regions.
Alter Ego ~ Phillippines Cane Sugar ($10.50) I like cane sugar. This one stand out because I taste vanilla! I can’t wait to pair it with the coconut oil and brownie mix.
Big Dipper Wax Works ~ Canada Birthday Candles ($8) 10% of proceeds from these beeswax candles go toward organizations that promote sustainable beekeeping.
Each month I love this box more and more. I also feel good about purchasing it due to the organizations it supports. Fair trade is really important! Themed boxes are always fun too.

Pura Botanica ~ Botanic Bath Infusion Pick Me Up bath salts. ($10) This full size product consists of mineral sea salts paired with herbs and flowers for a relaxing bath experience. Even though it says salts, they come in a large tea bag form. No floating debris. No messy clean up!
Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques ~ Natural eyeshadow in “morning dew” ($9) This shadow glides on smooth and blends well. I am leery of the shade though. I love how it lasts so I’ll probably give it another go. I mean it’s pretty, just not a shade I’d normally wear.
Athar’a ~ Moroccan Coffee eye cream. Deluxe size sample that helps hydrate, increases elasticity and reduces dark circles. I love the smell!
Pacifica ~ Devoclean Natural Lipstick in “XOX” ($14) This full size lipstick will nourish you lips naturally. Beautiful shade, just not for me.
Even though I didn’t personally care for the shades in this box, I love the products and now that I know how they feel I will be purchasing other shades from these companies.

Beauteque ~ May 2015
Beauteque BB Bag is a US-based company, based in New Jersey,with an “East meets West” philosophy. They source from the best products on the international market.
PRICE: $24 per month with multiple month options.
This month’s theme is Marvelous May. The bag is a cute black and white stripe with a silver flower toggle!
The Face Shop ~ Eyelash Curler ($7.50) 24K Gold plated with a curve design that is suitable for all eye shapes. The silicone rubber pad helps curl lashes naturally when pressure is applied helping lashes stay curled all day.
It’s Skin ~ Mini Bebe Mist ($11) I got to chose between a few different scents. I chose apple. It’s not too strong. It’s perfect for my work locker. I pull 12 hour shifts in a dry stuffy office so this is a nice pick me up. Mild protein and witch hazel extract protect skin providing moisture and nutrition. Soothes dry skin and fruit scent giving refreshment. Cute design and mini size easy to carry anywhere.
Holika Holika ~ Pig Nose Clear Blackhead Starter. ($10) This gel type starter helps to open your pores while reduces dirt from the pore. Its pink clay ingredients helps absorb excess sebum and soften stubborn blackheads.
Nature Republic ~ Bulgarian Rose Essence ($17) Contains Damask rose flower oil, Vitamin A and C to brighten your skin, smells like roses. I don’t like rose scented items so this is a pass.
Nature Republic ~ By flower Vivid Tint Bar ($8) This was another item that they gave you a choice of flavors. I chose strawberry. Luckily it isn’t crazy pink. It’s sheer with SPF 15/PA++ and is made with macadamia oil.
Mikavonk Auto Eyeliner in Black ($15) This is a nice double sided liner. One side is matte and the other is sparkly.
May Island ~ Donkey Milk Skin Mask Pack ($3.20×2) First of all NO. I just can’t bring myself to put donkey milk on my face. I don’t know why, when I can use cow. *shrugs* There are two different packs. Mela-Tox & Aqua. Mela Tox is the whitener/brightener mask and Aqua is a firming, moisturizing mask.
With the exception of the Donkey masks, I’ll use everthing in this bag. I don’t think Beauteque has ever disappointed.

I also misplaced my card but after some digging I found this was February’s box.
Shiva Prayer Scarf ($20) The backdrop of this picture is a beautiful scarf that was included in the box.
Solar Plexas Chakra ($22) I got Tigers Eye which promotes Luck, Protection & Healing. It’s a beautiful stone on a leather cord.
Soul Sparks Karma Bracelet ($4) This is to keep your circle positive. Say good words, think good thoughts and do good deeds. The cord is a regular wax one.
House of Good Juju Aura Cleansing Tea Light ($2.50) This is used to “cleanse your aura”. It’s infused with cypress, lavender, rosemary, lemongrass, and other fabulous scents. Sprinkled on top are additional herbs, as well as various crystals.
Kiss My Honey ~ Organic Lip Balm in Chocolate ($4) An all natural, paraben-free lip balm made with organic coconut oil, vitamin E, and other super moisturizing ingredients. UH don’t tell, but it tastes yummy too. 🙂
Chuao Chocolatier~ ChocoPods ($2) My flavors were Spicy Maya & Potato chip. I skipped the spicy one, giving it to a coworker who will eat ANYTHING. He loved it. I’m indifferent about the Potato chip one.
This was an interesting box I must say. My favorite item is the scarf. I am beyond grateful that they sent me this box free to review. This is such a tiny blog I need all the assistance I can get, in the form of interesting boxes to review.
Though this box was free, all opinions are my own. MizD
