WOD Box- May 2015


The May WOD Box is in and it was awesome!

The Good Bean roasted chickpeas snacks were actually quite tasty! They were crunchy and lightly salted and very satisfying as a far as a little snack  baggie goes.

I have been dying to try this WOD Wax the way it's supposed to be used (applied to the bar, not to the hands) but I am reluctant to do so lest my box owner get mad at me! Very intriguing though with the antibacterial aspect. 


I am saving this little packet of Pure Beet Juice to use  during my first comp at the beginning of June. I love beets so this was a very cool inclusion to the box this month!
I am not a tea person but these Miracle Tree teas piqued my interest. Might try switching out my bulletproof coffee for one of these one morning.




This WOD Welder odor crusher sack actually made me laugh out loud when I saw it. Do you know how many people at my gym could benefit from this thing?? I gladly tossed this awesome smelling sack into my bag and the next time I went to the box and pulled out my socks they smelled great. Awesome product!
















Awww yes, who doesn't like to have a good jump rope?  Just a glance will have you thinking this is just a basic rope from BuyJumpRopes.net, but when I pulled it out and started to measure it up I discovered that it is a cable covered in this thick plastic! The handles actually felt really good in my hands and once I cut the cable down I was easily able to adjust this to the perfect length with the little screw-like adjusters. I used it for the WOD we did that day and the rope was perfect. Definitely impressed!











That's it for the May WOD Box! Loving the Crossfit specific products that are included every month!

Bark Box- May 2015

Bentley's Bark Box was straight forward with the treats and toys this month and he absolutely loved it!
Something smelled good to him because he could not keep his little nose out of the box.

This month there was a stuffed bee toy from Silly Bum that ended up being his favorite (and didn't last that long because he "loved" it to death) , this big green Bumi tug toy from Zogoflex which ended up being his second favorite, Hare of the Dog rabbit biscuits, Green Bark gummies for skin and and coat, and another of his favorite Etta Says rabbit chews!  He was a happy boy when he discovered all his goodies.

He momentarily considered the tug toy before going back to the toy bee.....still can't find where those wings went....

Sign your pup up for their monthly box here

Cheers, Jenn

WOD Box- April 2015


April's WOD box was awesome!!!

I really liked that they backed off all the supplements they were sending to just these yummy chews and instead included more food items and a cool shirt! 




Sweet potato chips..... they were delicious!!




















I have yet to try this can of FITAID but it looks intriguing. I am a Kill Cliff fan and I stuck this can in with the ones I have an just haven't grabbed it yet.





This protein pancake mix was really good. It cooked a little more quickly than I expected but tasted just like pancakes and didn't have that funky protein texture or taste. This might need to be ordered again in the future!




These EVO berry energy chews were pretty good. Tasted like you would expect and gave a nice boost of energy in the afternoon without any weird side effects like the shakes or rapid heartbeat.




This was in there with a little pack of BIO Freeze on the back. That stuff is always nice to have around!
And the awesome EVOLVE shirt! These shirts they send are seriously soft and comfortable and I am so glad I got one that fits me! Can't wait for the ones they will come up with in the future!

Awesome box this month!

Ipsy Glam Bag- April 2015


The "Beautiful Bohemian" theme for Ipsy's April box was perfect for the Spring-to-Summer transition. The products selected were fantastic and were perfect for the chosen theme.


This charcoal colored waterproof eyeliner from Mally was a perfect addition to my daytime make up routine. The liner went on easily and with out catching or feathering and the lightly shimmering charcoal color was great for day time make up. The fact that it was waterproof was great as well. I noticed I could put on my make up at 6:30 am and it still looked fantastic after a full day of clinic as well as either 2 hours of volleyball or a few hours of gym time. 


Olive Lips oats and honey moisturizing lip balm has earned itself a place right next to my bed on my nightstand. I put it on every single night. The formula for this is fantastic as it is light, has minimal flavor, and doesn't run all over your face. I fall asleep with this on and I don't wake up with dry lips in the morning.














Julie nail color in Damsel was a nice creamy pink nail color. It applied well and actually lasted on my toes for almost 2 weeks before I noticed any major chipping. The color was great for the season and I got many compliments.




Nude Dude eyeshadow in 'fit' from theBalm is a shimmery warm gold/taupe color that is great for using as your mid color or blending color. The color is so versatile that it really can go with anything and the shimmery aspect is great for adding a little interest to the eyes with out looking like you are ready for Vegas. Blends on nicely with a brush over an eyeshadow base.






Sophisticated & Sensual parfum roller (no brand on bottle) is such a light and lovely scent that I have been reaching for it every time I get dressed up. It's lightly floral and lightly sweet and basically goes with anything. The scent isn't very strong which is wonderful because it is not over powering. Instead is like a background scent that comes out when you fluff your hair or walk by someone.  I will need to research to find out the brand as it was not on my bottle.










There is April's Ipsy Glam Bag! Fantastically curated this month and the products were awesome.

Bark Box- April 2015


April's Bark Box had this adorable fitness them and the boxing gloves were Bentley's favorite toy. He ripped them both off the rope and would carry them around, chewing them and getting them spitty, and then putting them in your lap like a gift. Isn't he sweet?

 He hasn't showed much interest in the buff red guy toy...yet. But it makes this weird sound when you squeeze it so its only a matter of time. Both Bentley and Tucker love the freeze dried lamb treats! And he is always happy when he gets an Etta Says chew in his box since that is his favorite treat when I have to put him in his kennel.

Another great box from Bark Box!!
