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 NuHair Foam is a full size product. This is a natural solution to rejuvenate hair suitable for me and women. It works from the inside out.   I have heard about this before but never tried it. It has a natural peptide complex with 3% active ingredients. My hair is definitely not as full as it used to be so I tried it.  I will have to keep using it for 4 months but if it makes a difference then it is worthwhile! $24.99



The next item is PowBab. I love the name to start. It is a chew made from the African Baobab fruit to boost immunity and support health. It is high in anti-oxidants and Vitamin C as well as other vitamins and minerals. It tastes great. 22.49/30 chews 



I love tea in the afternoon so I was excited to see Swirl Tea.  It is a speedy iced green tea in a stick pack.  I like that it has no artificial flavors or preservatives. Tastes yummy too. 17.45/50 servings



Who doesn't know about KIND bars? They have a new product called Clusters but I received something different I think.  Oats and Honey with Toasted Coconut tastes great any way you put it together though so I still enjoyed it. Crumble in yogurt or cottage cheese for an afternoon snack. 39.99/6-11oz pouches 



Hemp Pro  Chocolate plant based protein powder is a great idea.  Perfect in smoothies or baked goods. I love the healthy fiber and great taste.  I sprinkled it on my oatmeal yesterday...delicious. 24.99/11oz bag



We get colds in the fall and winter so I was interested in a tiny sample I received on ClearLungs.  It is a homeopathic decongestant with oils and Chinese herbs. I like that it is chemical free...something to try for the next cold. $12.99/tub

Pure Bliss Stroller Organizer Review #strollerorganizer


Everyone needs a good stroller organizer but the reality is, they aren't all the same. You really have to look closely at the features. I recently had the opportunity to try out what is called the Mercedes Benz of stroller organizers. I can pretty much see why after using it for a few days.

The Pure Bliss Stroller Organizer has several key advantages that make a huge difference for me. This stroller organizer was designed to specifically handle the problem of drinks spilling. Ugh...the worst nightmare for me.  I really don't like messes. Okay, I hate messes.  Really. I was so happy to see that it has reinforced cup holders that totally keep drinks firmly in place.  No more sloshing around and spilling. It works for hot and cold beverages. Lordy knows sometimes we NEED that hot or iced coffee just to keep upright. Another advantage is that the drink holders ere even double insulated to keep your beverage of choice hot or cold longer. 

I noticed that it is made of thick, high quality material. It also features adjustable Velcro straps that are intelligently designed to accommodate various handle angles which easily attach to most strollers, even those wacky pet strollers with handles between 13 and 21 inches wide. I am not judging (teehee, teehee). The collapsible design will not interfere with folding your stroller either. Made of eco-friendly machine washable fabric.  The manufacturer suggest that you just air dry it...that means no no hot dryers. It is even BPA-free and phthalate-free for peace of mind.


The large center compartment has a magnetic closure. I like that because it is elegant and smart. No worries about waking the baby when you open it. That center compartment is big enough to hold diapers, wipes, snack, small toys and even my wallet. The two outer pockets are perfect for keeping my cell phone and keys so I can grab them in a flash  The middle pocket is lined with microfiber to protect my beautiful and expensive sunglasses from getting scratched.


The Pure Bliss Stroller Organizer comes with a No-Hassle Lifetime Money-Back Guarantee.  The company shared that if you are not 100% satisfied for any reason, you can return it for a full refund.

They are even including a free E-book,  “55 Fun and Educational Activities To Do With Your Baby or Toddler” with your purchase of the Pure Bliss Stroller Organizer. This book is loaded with fun and creative ideas you can do with your baby, both indoors and out, summer or winter. It has some super ideas to beat the boredom any season. Download instructions will arrive with your package.

You can pick up this great stroller organizer right on Amazon and have it at your door in days.  It would be a perfect gift for a baby shower or a special friend that just had a baby and is trying to get out and get herself moving.

ZEDA Tea - Korean 100% Pure Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder Review #zedamatcha

Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Zeda Organic Green Tea Powder. 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 really enjoy the flavor of fine quality green tea.  I guess I just like the flavor plus the energy boost.  I recently had the opportunity to try Zeda Organic Green Tea Powder.  If you tried ZEDA green tea powder before you know it is a wonderful option to use as a base for all kinds of drinks including lattes, smoothies and teas of all kinds. You can even incorporate it into unique desserts.  Zeda premium organic powdered green teas are made from hand picked tea leaves that bloomed in the first week of May by Soa Dawon tea plantation in Korea.

Some important points to consider:  

DEEP FLAVOR - A special traditional processing gives ZEDA powdered green tea a distinctive and special flavor.

USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC - The tea farm has organic certification from Europe, USA, Japan, and Korea. That is important for me.  It is a recognized tea producer that has received Green Agricultural Product Certification and ISO Certification for its hygienic production processes and equipment.



I like to consider carefully what I put in my body. ZEDA is the finest premium quality organic green tea Matcha from "Soadawon" organic tea plantation in Boseong, Korea

I love the fact that ZEDA globally certified organic powdered green tea Matcha is grown in limited quantity and harvested only once a year. That special time in May. It has a vibrant green color and a smooth and mellow flavor. ZEDA is chock full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Think about all the ways you can enjoy Zeta!  I like to drink it hot in the winter and chilled in the summer.  I love to make extra and use it as flavor for smoothies or and in my baking. It is perfect for everyday drinking...it is a wonderful afternoon pick-me-up. Just the energy boost I need in a flash. 




Their tea plantation (Soa Dawon) is on the southwest coast of the Korean Peninsula. The temperate climate of this region is ideal for green tea cultivation. The plantation is located at center in "Boseong" area of Korea and 350m high from the sea. The tea plantation has been authorized to supply green tea powder for Coca Cola Corp., Korea since 2010 which is pretty neat. It is widely known that green teas from Boseong passed the strict quality inspection of the Russian Medical Biology Lab. As a result, they are  officially recognized as a beverage suitable for an astronaut's special diet.

Facts about Zeda

● Organic Certification from USDA, EU, Japan, and Korea
● Taste: Deep Flavored, full-bodied, smooth
● Natural Energy Boost: Full of antioxidants 


You can find ZEDA tea on Amazon and have it in your home in a flash.

Naturalico Cellulite with Retinol & Caffeine and Body Firming Cream Review #cellulitecream



I truly believe some people just have genetics that predispose them to cellulite. Like me. My mom has none. Amazing because she is 80 plus.  We both work out vigorously and eat clean diets. Ahhh, what to do?  I had the opportunity to try a new Cellulite Cream with Retinol and Caffeine from Naturalico and hoped for the best. It couldn't get worse that I knew.  I liked that it was made in the USA to start.  They shared that it can firm, make the skin look more toned and even potentially eliminate cellulite.



I thought that it would really be amazing even if I could see a small improvement in the appearance and tone.  I know some ingredients have data to back the results so I was happy to see that they have really high levels of Retinol & Caffeine.

This is the basis for the ingredients in a nutshell.  Retinol enhances collagen production, encourages skin renewal and helps tighten and firm the skin. * L-Carnitine helps the body metabolize fat * Green Tea stimulates the release of stored fat * Glaucine Helps By Decreasing Fat Deposits * Coenzyme-A breaks down fat and helps restore connective tissue the active Ingredients Glaucine and Caffeine (which contains Theophylline) Helps Successfully Treat Cellulite and Decrease Cellulite Fat Deposits and Stretch Marks

Naturalico shared some benefits: 
  • Overall appearance of skin is improved, toned & restored. 
  • Skin becomes smoother & firmer
  • Clinically Proven To Eliminate Cellulite
  • Give You The Results You've Been Looking For
  • Caffeine encourages the body to burn fatty tissue
Active Anti-Cellulite powerhouse ingredients include Caffeine, Retinol, L-Carnitine, Green Tea, Glaucine and   Coenzyme-A. They work synergestically to smooth those lumpy bumpy cottage cheese thighs and firm that jiggly behind.  They suggest it as a viable option post pregnancy (NOT while pregnant!) or after significant weight loss. 

My thoughts:  I have been using it all week.  I think I see some slight improvement already but I am sure it will take a few weeks to really see a difference.  My skirts fit nicer and my legs look more toned.  I will keep using it and give you the updates!
