Now, put your feet up and grab a brew. This is what’s in store for you.
1. Lavender dream Epsom salts by Purple Bud
A bath is always a good way to unwind. But, if you’re looking to experience a whole new level of relaxation and serenity, these handmade Epsom salts have got your name written all over them.
Made with organic Dead Sea salt and enriched with lavender and ylang ylang essential oil, they replenish magnesium levels in the body, promoting feelings of calm and reducing both stress and irritability.
2. Chocolate Bath Bombs by Bomb Cosmetics
Just like our Purple Bud Epsom salts, these bath bombs are the perfect luxury treat for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a spot of peace in the tub. Oh, and once the bath bombs have dissolved into the water, your bathroom will smell like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
Yep. Willy Wonka’s very own Chocolate Factory; these bath bombs are filled with aromatherapy oils to aid relaxation whilst emitting a gorgeous mixture of chocolatey scents. They will also moisturise and soften the skin, as they are packed with essential oils, cocoa butter and shea butter – because mental and physical care go hand in hand.
3. Incense Sticks by Karma Scents
Do you know what would go perfectly with those Epsom salts and chocolate bath bombs? These incense sticks.
In this particular pack, there are 30 sticks. Each stick will last approximately 35 minutes. This means you will be able to enjoy a rough total of 1050 minutes burn time!
With an extremely strong, flowery aroma, they are perfect for any occasion. You can burn them when you're relishing in some alone time and are in your very necessary relaxation mode, you can burn them when you're practicing yoga, or you can burn them when you're having friends and/or family over. Your options are pretty much endless.
As briefly indicated, we at Lemonade Box like to burn them whilst in the bath with a Bomb Cosmetic chocolate bath bomb. With the combined aromas of chocolate and flowers, it's always like our own personal Valentine's Day!
With Lemonade Box, you can enjoy your own personal Valentine's Day, every day for a whole month!
4. White Camphor Pure Essential Oil (Cinnamomum Camphora) by Freshskin Beauty Ltd
Fancy a massage? Got a cold? Want to reduce stress and inflammation? Check this handmade treat out. Originated in China, this white camphor essential oil is the purest of camphor oils and was expertly steam extracted from the wood of a 50 year old Camphor tree.
With its deeply cooling and penetrating scent, it is perfect for relieving congestion by reducing blockages in the bronchi, nasal tracts, pharynx, larynx and lungs. It also reduces muscle spasms, stiffness and cramps by creating a sedative effect on the nerves. This makes it perfect for soft, soothing massages or a restful soak in the bath.
5. Kale Face Mask by Beautifully Scrumptious
When we’re stressed, it can be difficult to sleep at night. In fact, it can be difficult to sleep at all. This lack of sleep can lead to dark circles under our eyes, making us look like sad little pandas. As cute as little pandas are, we don’t really want to look like them. Especially, not sad ones.
Lucky for us, Beautifully Scrumptious have created an impeccable kale face mask. It helps to ‘tighten’ the skin and reduce those pesky dark circles and wrinkles. It contains natural extracts, has a delicious smell and is suitable for vegans.
6. Healing Crystals
Head over to our post: The Ultimate Guide to 6 of the Best Self-Care & Mindfulness Crystals to learn a little bit about the history of healing crystals and their significance. In our sample box, we have three very special types to share with you, including:
Blue Banded Agate – this is known as the healing stone of calm, wealth and good luck. It has gentle energies and is thought to help if you are aiming to achieve balance and stability in your life. So, if you’re worried about the unknown or are feeling a little lost, this may be exactly what you need.
Green Quartz – when carried or worn, Green Quartz is said to have a healing effect. It helps to attract success and transform negative energies into positives ones – ensuring you maintain a positive outlook when facing the adversities of life.
Selenite – this is the crystal of meditation, healing, cleansing and much more. It is said to remove stagnant energy and promote a healthy, smooth flow of energies within the body to ensure your mind and body feel refreshed – perhaps after dealing with stressful events.
7. Green Tea and Yerba Mate Biodegradable Tea Temples
Expertly designed by a team of Master Tea Blenders and Herbalists, these temples have a number of nutritional benefits. Whether you need an energy or an antioxidant boost, this tea will sort you right out.
With 0 calories and its biodegradable properties, it’s not only great for your physical and mental health, it’s also great for the planet. How could you not want a taste?
8. ‘Breathe’ Wish Bracelet
Life makes it very easy for us to get overwhelmed. Whether you’re drowning in your studies, work and/or a million other responsibilities. We understand all too well how much things can get on top of you.
This is where the Breathe Bracelet comes in. We want it to serve as a reminder of the fact that no matter what is happening in your life right now, no matter how many responsibilities you have waiting for you and no matter how much you may be struggling – you are exactly where you should be. Everything will be worth it in the end. Try your best, put one foot in front of the other, wear your bracelet and breathe.
9. Pillow Spray by Feather and Down
Without a good night’s sleep, you’re restricting your potential. Restful nights are the key to feeling energised, happy and healthy – both physically and mentally.
Here at Lemonade Box, we want you to feel all three of those things. That’s why this pillow spray is infused with calming lavender and chamomile essential oils to ensure your nights are filled with sweet dreams and tranquillity.
10. Pure Charcoal Black Tissue Mask by Garnier SkinActive
We all know the importance of drinking water. But, did you know that your skin gets thirsty too?
Yep – just like you, your skin needs hydration and with this purifying and hydrating pore-tightening mask, Lemonade Box have got you covered.
Enriched with black algae extract LHA + hyaluronic acid, this tissue mask will leave your skin feeling brand new.
11. ‘Never Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle’ Plaque
Sometimes, we need to be reminded that we were made to be great. We were made to shine and we were made to sparkle.
With this ‘Never Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle’ plaque, we hope you will remember that the world would be a very sad and boring place if everyone was the same. So, hang this up in your room, your kitchen, your living room – anywhere you want. Just let it remind you to be yourself, be amazing and never let anyone dull your sparkle.
12. Berry Blossom Hand Lotion by Eos
When our lives get busy, it is sometimes difficult to remember the little things – like moisturising the skin. But, when our lives get a little too much, our skin shouldn’t have to suffer; moisturising reduces risks of skin related problems and using the right moisturiser helps maintain its balance.
This Eos berry blossom hand lotion is packed with aloe, shea butter, oats and antioxidants to ensure your hands are being treated the way they should and remain nourished, soft and healthy. It is suitable for all skin types, leaves no residue and smells like summer!
13. Angel Wings Simmering Granules by Regent House
Simmering granules are a natural salt based product. They have an added fragrance and are to be used in burners/diffusers.
These simmering granules are Regent House’s best-selling product. They leave no residue and are both safe and easy to use. Simply place two teaspoons of simmering granules into the well of the burner and they will emit their scent into the air over several hours. It is the safest and cleanest product on the market.
With hints of bergamot, mandarin, berries, cumin, caramel and nutmeg, these simmering granules make it easy for you to kick back, relax and enjoy the true depths of the fragrance, including white musk and patchouli.
Take pride in the air you’re breathing. Beautiful smells, beautiful outlook.
14. Your Monthly Mission
Finally, your task.
In every Lemonade Box, we will give you a mission for the month. It will be something small and always free, designed to encourage positive thinking and behaviour. Your mission will be different each month and will remain a surprise until your box arrives.
With your monthly mission, we hope to get you out of your comfort zone – even if it’s just a little bit, because we want to see you grow. We want to see you happy and we want to see you thrive.
We therefore encourage you to take a selfie, or any kind of picture to demonstrate the fact that you are undertaking your monthly mission, tag us on Instagram @lemonade.box and we will repost it with huge smiles on our faces!
