Are you trying to improve your health?  Get more fit? Eat better?  2014 is your year to do it and you have plenty of time with the summer still in full swing!  Bulu Box is the first vitamin, supplement and general health subscription sample box designed to help you get there too. Every month, you’ll get a box filled with 4 to 5 premium, curated samples from top brands. This month the super fit Larysa Didio has curated a feel good discovery box full of healthy goodies just for us.  You have to keep reading to get the full scoop!

Each month you can look forward to a new mix of products for both women and men, including vitamins, weight loss, sports nutrition, protein, diet, energy, detox, digestion, sexual health, herbs, natural remedies, endurance and more. The smarties at BuluBox make sure you get enough to decide if the product is right for you. No shipping or extra fees either. Depending on your plan, you can cancel anytime. There are two kinds of Bulu Boxes to choose from and both of them are healthy subscription boxes that you will just love. 

Bulu Box-This is the box that I subscribe to....It is the first and only vitamin and supplement sample box out there.  Each box includes a sampling of vitamins and supplements from different areas of health. Each box contains 4 to 5 premium samples (some are bigger than others as you will see!) plus lifestyle extras sometimes. There is good stuff in every box to discover and enjoy.

Bulu Box Weight Loss: This box is the first and only weight loss and nutrition box. They designed it with the specific goal of weight loss in mind. Each box contains 4 to 5 premium weight loss items such as vitamin and supplement samples, fitness gear and healthy eating tools. These are products to help you succeed with weight loss.

I know you want to see what was in my special Larysa Didio curated Bulu Box so no more delays:  here it is.  The big scoop! This month's BuluBox, like every box comes with a card (below) that explains more details about the samples and gives you the prices for the full size products.

Each box also comes with a My Sample Journal shown below. You can keep notes for yourself and also submit your feedback and earn points towards products you like from your Bulu Box!  Easy and fun.

BuluBox is not stingy when it comes to products.  There is always enough to get a real feel for the products.  You can see that the Dream Water has a full serving...enough to get a sense if you like it and want to purchase a full size product. I have heard about this before but never tried it. It has a blend of 3 natural ingredients including melatonin, GABA and 5-HTP to help you get a drug free, good night of sleep. I would definitely use this from time to time but not on a daily basis. Hmm, I think this would be good for my upcoming meeting...I see another red-eye flight coming my way so I will tuck this away and let you know! $38.99/12 pack

Details, details:  The second item was EBOOST energy shot and I was interested to try it.  I have tried other EBOOST priducts and found them effective. I always need more energy with my busy lifestyle. I squeeze in so much sometimes I am beat in the early afternoon but need energy to go to the gym.  This one delivers 5X the vitamins and nutrients of the leading energy drink plus Green Tea. I tried it today at that witching hour when I start to have my energy flag and it really perked me up. It tasted good and went down fast. I like that it is all natural.  $43.99/12 pack

Forgiven is a little drink for your body and mind to help you out when you had a little too good of a time. Think: HANGOVER.  It helps you metabolize that alcohol and think more clearly...regain balance. The flavor is mixed berry. Everyone should always drink responsibly by the way. That means no one should ever drink and drive either. Sometimes you are at home with friends and just have a glass or two of wine that doesn't sit right or maybe you didn't drink enough water to mitigate the alcohol. This is an interesting concept that can only help clear those toxins. I find it helpful to make sure I am fully hydrated even if I am having just a glass of wine or beer too. $35.88/12 shots 

NRG Matrix is a new to me supplement to help energize and improve your focus. Easy peasy just mix, drink and energize. Sounds like a plan to me. It contains USA grown medicinal mushrooms that can help increase energy. Sounds kind of psychedelic to me. I like that this Bulu Box is heavy into energy because I always need more of it. They are $19.99-44.99 

I saved the most interesting item for almost last....Zestra libido booster. Sounds compelling to me! This is an all natural blend of botanical oils and extracts that can increase interest and make your experiences, umm...more pleasurable.  It is fast and easy to use and WOW....you gotta try this one ladies. $49.95/15 

Well, we need any kind of immunity and digestive boost we can find in our house. I don't even want to say what we have seen this year from flu to strep and beyond. Sole Viral and Solle Excell are supplements that improve your body's natural defenses and digestive health. $54.53 30 count

Bulumu is a portable granola mix that is perfect for a healthy snack anytime. I mixed mine into plain Greek yogurt and it was delicious! A nice blend of nuts, seeds, spices and oats. I was happy to hear that these individually toasted oats have 50-70% less fat than many other leading brands and that they are free of high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils and GMOs too. $54.99/60 capsules

If you enjoy cooking and baking then this is a great scale to have in your kitchen. It is super thin and super light. The design is modern and elegant. It is so lightweight and portable you can carry it from one side of your kitchen to another with no problem. One of the things I really love about it is that the scale is easy to read. I am in that 40-something age range and my eyes are not as sharp as they used to be. I appreciate that I don't have to struggle to read this scale at all. It has been very accurate for me. I need that when I am baking. If the ingredients are off even a hare you know your baked items are toast.  This Surpah's tempered glass kitchen scale has a TARE feature which lets you easily put the measuring cup on the scale and zeros it out so you can add your ingredients for the exact weight too. Beautiful and perfectly baked macarons are in my future.  A little detail about the scale from Surpah's:

• Thinner, simple, stylish and elegant design.

• Safety glass surface easy to clean, lightweight and portable.

• 4 high precision new sensors to support accurate weigh measuring.

• Proven TARE and UNIT touch operations.

• Powered by 1xCR2032 lithium battery (included!!), 100% product and shopping satisfaction guaranteed.

 

I notice that so many recipes these days also use grams.  I just saw an interesting recipe this past week in the New York Times Wednesday food edition that needed precise measurements and used grams.  I can do a recipe like that now with this amazing scale.  I like that this scale measures grams, ounces and pounds and it switches back and forth with one little touch. That makes it super easy to use.  I was surprised that it also measures milliliters and fluid ounces which is also helpful for  baking.  That TARE function is also very nice...you can put a huge measuring cup or bowl on the scale and use the TARE to set the scale to zero right before you add your ingredients.

The tempered glass cleans very easily and measures about 8" X 7".  I love that the lithium battery is included.  They last for a long time too. You can buy this great kitchen scale directly on Amazon too.

SURPAHS Three-Layers Cross Overlapping Bamboo Cutting Board (Set of 3)

Disclosure:  I received the product mentioned above complimentary for the purpose of this review.  The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.

I was impressed when the 3 piece SURPAHS Three-Layers Cross Overlapping Bamboo Cutting Board arrived recently via Amazon. The set was neatly wrapped and actually looked like it would be a perfect hostess gift.  The cutting boards are very thin.  This surprised me but they are designed to be thin and light.  They are extremely durable though since they are crafted from high quality eco friendly bamboo.  The bamboo is joined together in overlapping pieces to ensure no warping, cracking or splitting. SURPAH's guarantee's 100% satisfaction which I find reassuring.

It is interesting because my old cutting board was just so darn heavy sometimes I groaned when I pulled it out. I found myself using the SURPAH's cutting board more often the past week or two since they are so light and easy to pick up.  They even look pretty with a light and very natural finish.  I like having the three different sizes to work with because sometimes I just need a small one to cut up an apple and other times I am prepping dinner and need the large one. It is also nice having all three because sometimes I am making a big meal and am prepping by the sink and by the stove. 

The set of three boards make it easy to get it all done without having to keep washing or rinsing one board.  They can be used so interchangeably for different uses including cutting cheeses, meats and fruits and veggies.  They are actually so pretty looking I would use any of these bamboo cutting boards for a cheese board at an upcoming cocktail party.  A few varieties of cheese, a small cheese knife and you are looking like you are a A+ hostess.  

 A little information about the SURPAH's cutting board set:

Set of 3 ultra-thin bamboo cutting boards in small, medium and large sizes (8", 11" and 14").

Constructed of high quality eco friendly bamboo in 3-Layer overlapping joins, Solid extremely to ensure NO warping, cracking or splitting.

Only 0.4" (10 mm) thinner, lighter and sleek design, durable for any kitchen prep.

Knife-friendly surface helps protect blade integrity.

Natural beautiful finish, FDA certificated, 100% satisfaction guaranteed.

I didn't realize until I starting researching that bamboo is actually harder and lighter than maple. Our old cutting board was a huge heavy maple one. I love the lightness of the bamboo. I didn't know that bamboo has less moisture absorbency than traditional hardwoods. Bamboo is also very durable and is quite resistant to odor and bacteria.

SURPAH's shared with me that these cutting boards should always be hand washed. Do not place in a dishwasher.  You should always wash with hot soapy water, then rinse and dry between each use. To protect the life of your bamboo products, apply mineral or vegetable oil to surface after each use. Just a drop and it takes a minute. They are also FDA certificated and eco friendly.  This is a very nice item for yourself or to give as a hostess gift. You can find it right on Amazon so it is very convenient to buy too.

The Benefits of Superior Source MicroLingual Vitamins for Good Health Plus a Giveaway

 Disclosure:  I received the product mentioned below complimentary for the purpose of this review.  The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product. Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Superior Source MicroLingual supplements. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition.  Keep out of reach of children.

I am a big proponent of vitamins.  Even when you eat a super healthy diet it is a challenge to get all the proper nutrients in there on a regular basis.  Vitamin supplementation helps you make sure you are getting all the necessary nutrients to your muscles, bones and cells on a regular basis.  Some vitamins might be better than others for various reasons. Consider this: Superior Source Vitamins are MicroLingual.  This is a big ole word but what it means is that they go under the tongue and are absorbed super fast. Because they are absorbed quickly you don't have to deal with swallowing any big pills. That is something different, right? 

I never realized that when you swallow supplements, up to 50% of the potency is lost in the high acid environment of the stomach. You can totally avoid that issue with Superior Source Vitamins.  Superior Source is offering a few excellent deals to start your journey to health right now too.  They are providing me with an opportunity for one of my readers to win a  LIVE HEALTHIER" Family 6-Pack ($86 Value) plus everyone wins with a very discounted product deal below!

A little about Superior Source lettered vitamins and supplements:

B-12 1000 mcg: This 60-tablet bottle is brand new and is a combination of activated B-12, activated Folate and B-6, which are three critical B vitamins required for control of elevated homocystein levels.
Why control homocystein levels? High levels of homocystein have been linked to cardiovascular disease.  No sugar added in this vitamin either.
Just Women - Iron : Superior Source provides optimal levels of iron in our Instant Dissolve MicroLingual Tablets for efficient nutrient delivery. Ferrous fumarate helps restore iron levels in the body when levels are low. The ferrous fumarate salt may help reduce the chances of getting gastro-intestinal problems which are sometimes associated with other iron salts.
Vitamin D 1000 IU: Vitamin D works in conjunction with calcium to promote the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Superior Source Vitamin D products are D3, the finest source of Vitamin D available.
Vitamin C Sour Cherry Melts: Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that cannot be produced by the body, therefore it must be replenished daily. Vitamin C also provides support to the body's immune system, very helpful in a season where people catch colds and flu. No sugar is added, these products are only sweetened by stevia; this is preferable to most 'chewable' vitamin C products that are typically loaded with lots of sugar.
Children's B Complex with Vitamin C: Children's B-Complex with folic acid, calcium pantothenate and biotin is formulated to provide the nutrients that support optimal health for the production and maintenance of new cells and supports nervous system health, energy metabolism, and healthy heart function.
Biotin 5000 mcg: Helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, promotes nail and hair strength and supports cell growth, metabolism of fats, amino acids and the production of fatty acids. Sugar FREE!
