Wow Period with The Violet Box

Hey guys, what's happening? Hope y'all are excited for all the holidays that are coming up this month. Its gonna be a fun time! Well, it wasn't so much for me till now, since I just returned in town after giving my civils exam day before, (Yeah okay, don't be shocked, I'm half dead already.) But please wish me luck!

Anyways, coming back to today's post for my pretty girls once again, its about a period box subscription brand called, THE VIOLET BOX. A few weeks ago I shared with you a similar post about another brand selling the similar type of boxes and you all loved it. I also received a lot of messages telling me that the post appeared really useful for a lot of you too, so I thought of sharing this one now so that you all have choices. Violet Box, as I mentioned is a subscription box, that contains some cool period essentials for girls, that can help them pass through their cramps in a lighter mode. You can get the box from their website (www.theviolet.in) very easily. 

PS : Its a very new startup but has made its name wide! Check out all the details of this month's box and subscription links below.

Some of us already know that each woman spends over 1500 days of her life having periods, and it's not an easy task for us ladies to experience the whole process every single month, especially with the PMSing factor that's included! Violet Box has thus come to our rescue with a very thoughtful idea of supplying WOW BOX 1.7 to us with affordable period essentials at Rs. 899+ to help us pamper ourselves during our monthly menstruation cycle! 

I recently received my set of goodies in the Violet Box that include the following :

Food & Lifestyle Products - Its quite known a fact that women deal with random cravings during their periods, and it becomes difficult to sustain it especially when people around you cannot understand the sudden boomed up mood swings! That's when Violet Box helps you open your box of goodies and enjoy the gourmet chocolates, fine teas and refresh your mood with aromatic incense. This set includes : 

1. Yogi Tea from Exalte

2. Sandalwood Incense from Organic Incense

3. Yellow Roast Coffee from Blackbazza

4. Lemongrass & Green Tea from Typhoo

5. Power Chocolate Bar from Yoga Bar

6. Gourmet Chocolates from Ferrero Rocher

Beauty and Skincare Products - Every woman needs to maintain hygiene not just during the periods but throughout. During menstruation, it becomes a little more important to take care your skin and hence, Violet Box sends you the most amazing beauty and skincare products to use and experience bliss! This set includes : 

1. Hand Sanitizer from Tempo

2. Apricot Face Scrub from Just Herbs

3. Hazenut Body Lotion from Nature's Co.

5. Lemongrass Foot Spray from Nature's Co.

6. Coffee Face Scrub from Nature's Co.

7. Sanitary Napkins from Whisper & Carefree 

(different sizes depending upon your blood flow)

I personally tried each and every product from this box and hence it took me a little while to publish this review for you all, since I wanted to make sure that I do not send out a false word about any product or brand that sends me stuff to write about. I highly recommend Violet Box to all the girls reading this post, and if you care about your friends, please do refer it ahead! Its very easy subscribe to your monthly box, all you have to do is to choose from the variants available for the number of months you want to pay for, select a date, and pay! You can get your box customized too (just call on : +91 91680 57862).

NOTE : The producers of the Violet Box have initiated a social cause for women who cannot afford basic period essentials. So, for every single box that you subscribe to on the Violet website, they donate a a handful of essentials to those in need through Swadhar and WRH. I totally support this cause and would like you to contribute towards a healthier and happier world for women around us! #PositiveVibesOnly

Healthy Snacking with Snackible

Is it just me, or you too have a habit of keep munching, every single time you feel bored in this crazy summer weather, and hence hungry? Its habitual of many of us that when we're working late night, we keep nibbling upon snacks and even if we're just sitting idle in the day, we reach out to our kitchens and search for substantial meals but don't always like to eat those sandwiches or noodles! Since our lifestyle is changing, and we're moving more towards healthy snacking, I've specially got this post for you.

If you're a follower on this blog since long, you must remember I posted about SNACKIBLE, last year around Christmas when they sent me their festive box containing some yummy snacks, and I reviewed it for you showing you 5 different flavors. If you missed reading it, do it now, HERE!

So, Snackible recently changed their packaging to a little more colorful wrapping and added a few new flavors to their snack collection, and sent me to try some of them. So, I being your guiding angel have got you the complete review of the new ones. I'd like you to scroll down to check it all out....

With two different types of subscription boxes, Snackible includes Weekly and Monthly Boxes for 1, 3 & 6 months that come in different prices and snack options for you to choose from! There's a premium range of healthy snacks available on their website, and you are free to choose the quantity depending upon your choice, that will be wrapped in a box and delivered to you at your doorstep with love. 

The five new flavors I tasted this time are listed as follows : 

1. Maple Honey Granola Crunchers : I like eating sweet snacks, but too much sweet kills it bad. These yummy granola crunchers contain the right amount of sweetness with oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds and organic brown sugar (the word organic already makes me happy now). I mostly eat these in breakfast with milk and it even tastes better, giving me instant energy boost for the day!

2. Cream & Onion Wholewheat Thins : Cracker thins are one of my all time favorite munchies, and they help me curb my cravings for oily wafers many a times. The healthy substitution for the chips you love are these wholewheat thins that contain wholewheat (as the name suggests), flax seeds, cream & onion seasoning. These are exceptionally high in fibre, anti-oxidants and omega 3 fatty acids! 

3. Seedy Crunchers : I'm eating these at the moment, typing this down for you, because its my current preferred snack and I keep nibbling them even in college. Its basically a mix of mild sweetness and crunchiness, containing watermelon seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds with soya nuts, almonds, dry dates and black raisins, coated in corn syrup. These are extremely high in fibre and proteins and the helps curb cholesterol. You should definitely try these!

4. Baked Pizza Sticks with a Herby Dip : Hello favorite! I just don't need to mention my love for this one, because you already know my obsession with pizza and the name makes me drool on it, every time I pick the pack up! These pizza sticks are made of refined wheat flour, salt, cheese, pizza masala and veg oil, seasoned with red chilly-garlic flavour to satisfy one's pizza cravings (which I have like every.single.minute). The best part about it is, it comes with a nutritious herby dip with literally no MSG or artificial flavors. Trust me, you're missing out on something really serious if you haven't consumed it yet! 

5. Dark Chocolate Power Bars : I wanted to keep this for the last, as I knew you would skip all the others and directly head over to the Snackible website to order these (hehe, I know you guys)! Well, these power bars are like life savers, giving you instant energy when you feel low or giddy. Extremely rich in protein, with no added sugar, additives, artificial color or flavoring, these yummy energy bars are made of oats, peanut butter, dates, honey, raisins, pumpkin seeds, reduced fat dark chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin and vanilla). Its like a complete fuel for your body for an entire day! Go grab it now.

The trial box I received from Snackible this time, also contained a pack of flaxseed spice mix from Flax Max. Its a 100% natural mix of organic spices that can be used in various snacks/meals to make it a little more healthier and yummier! The mix simply contains of roasted flaxseeds, garlic, kashmiri chillies, tamarind, rock salt, cumin seeds and asafoetida. Buy this pack from Flax Max by clicking HERE itself and give it a try. You'll love it!

Mu(n)ch better with Snackible!

Hi guys! I hope you had a cheerful Christmas, and now are you up for new year? Well, I'm totally up..............to sit in my blanket, have coffee and welcome 2016 , watching award shows on TV! Haha!

Anyway, its been really long since I published a food post. I know I keep saying this every time I post about food, since I'm so lazy. In fact, so much so that I didn't even bother to cook a recipe for you this time, but just get some ready-to-eat snacks from a super online store 'Snackible'. Let me tell you, these are some of the best healthy snacks I've had till date!

Recently, I was sent a weekly box of some yummy munchies from Snackible, so I thought of sharing it with you too, since I feel you really need to try these fine nibbles! Below are some flavors that I got in my box, check it out :

This is the packing of the weekly box that I got. Looks so eco-friendly too!

I got 5 different medium sized packs that contained 5 different flavors. 

1. Seedy Trail Mix - A delectable mix of seeds along with almonds, dates and raisins lightly coated with maple syrup. It was thus a healthy snack that contained so many different seeds including watermelon seeds, sunflower, flax, pumpkin, soya nuts, etc!

2. Roasted Mexican Chickpeas - I really liked these crunchy chickpeas that had a tangy mexican flavor, containing chickpeas (of course), tomato spice, some herbal spices, natural flavors and refind oil. I mostly eat it at night during my work sessions with some juice and it refreshes my mind. Really!

3. Maple & Honey Granola Crunchers - My favorite from the box. Sweet in taste, very healthy and yummy. It contains oats, almonds, sun flower seeds, chia seeds, vegetable oil and organic brown sugar. I mostly have it with milk and it tastes even better. Must try!

4. Dark Chocolate Ragi Cookies - Appetizing dunkins these are; the most wholesome cookies I've tried in my entire life, I swear. Made of ragi and one side coated with dark chocolate, also containing butter, castor sugar and vanilla extract. Have it with milk or without, its gonna taste the best! My best friends these days while travelling alone. I keep having a sweet bite every now and then!

5. Cinnamon Waffles with Honey Twigs - Read-to-eat wholesome waffle with a honey topper, a full treat it is. Trust me! One small waffle made of wheat flour, margarine, sugar, salt, cinnamon and a few emulsifiers. Almost looks like a beauty and when topped with honey, it tastes heaven! I mostly have it in breakfast with some warm milk on the side and some times top this with some cream and fruits too.

So, these were 5 nutritious snacks I got in my Snackible weekly box this time. Its almost like a tonic I get every week and I'm planning to convert it into my monthly supply. Its a very easy method that one can very comfortably apply on the Snackible site, by choosing from their various subscription plans. Different quantities are also available for you to pick from while opting your favorites products from the snacks menu! I would suggest all of you to go ahead and order some healthful munchies and relish it yourselves at extremely affordable prices!
