Are you trying to improve your health?  Get more fit? Eat better?  2014 is your year to do it!  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 amazing Ali Vincent has curated a super box full of healthy goodies 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.

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 Ali Vincent curated Bulu Box so no more delays:  here it is.  The big scoop! This month's BuluBox like every box comes with a card (above) that explains about the samples and gives you the prices for the full size products. My Bulu Box this month came with a yummy and easy recipe card for 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies and a mix of excellent supplement samples and full size products. 
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 two bars are full size, the Power Crunch Proto whey is single serving along with the Salba Chia.  The FLOW has several capsules...enough to get a sense if you like it and want to purchase a full size product.

Details, details:  The first item was Power Crunch Proto Whey in Vanilla Creme and I was interested to try it.  I always need more clean proteins in my diet since I don't eat enough meat, fish or chicken.  It is a very fast absorbing whey protein which I like. I have tried a bunch of protein powders over the years but this one looked especially good since I know I like vanilla. It tasted good but I would have preferred that all the flavors were natural. It blended easily into my smoothie though the instructions say you can add to cold water and stir or shake.  A 2lb tub is  $44.99.


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

Just Fruit Bars were a new to me product. They are described as a snack that is a tasty alternative to candy. They are created using real fruit....yum! Just Fruit Bars have the equivalent of two full fruit servings in each bar.  The pear flavor tasted really good.  They are $24.99/16 bars.


I use Chia seeds but I had not tried the Salba brand before.  I like the individual servings...great for the office or travel. Lots of heart healthy Omega-3's and fiber. Sprinkle on yogurt or in a smoothie.  Great an hour or two before a tough workout or spin class, ya know? $12.99/14 packets


Flow Athletics Neural Enhancer is a herbal pre-workout for your mind to help energy and focus. This is a natural herbal supplement to help you achieve a natural flow of energy and focus. Lordy I need focus so I am trying it tomorrow before boot camp!  They say no jitters so that is great. $54.99/60 capsules



SoyJoy is a gluten free indulgence.  This bar is crafted from fruit and soy. Perfect for a snack or meal replacement. I like this bar and have been buying these forever! I think it tastes even better now...moist and fruity.  $18.99/12 bars


NeriumAD Age Defying skin treatment also included a special offer with purchase. No samples were included though....boohoo. But, the great news is that you get a Live Happy magazine plus a coaching call with Ali Vincent with your NeriumAD purchase. That is an amazing deal! $155 value

Nite Ize Gear Ties for Your Home, Workshop and More: A Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Do you like having everything neat and tidy in your home, your car and even your workshop or garage?  You are just like me!  I used to make myself nuts trying to organize all those cords but nothing ever really worked very well.   The disorder doesn't seem to bother my hubby as much but he agrees that it is easier to find his things in his workshop when the cords are not all tangled.  I was thrilled to hear about Nite Ize Gear Ties.  They are the ultimate solution to organization and even innovation.  You wouldn't believe how useful they can be. 

Nite Ize Gear Ties are crafted with the ultimate 2014 technology that makes it easy for anyone (even Messy Marvin!) to get organized and stay organized.  The material for Nite Ize Gear Ties is totally flexible and you can reuse and reshape them 100's of times and in so many ways.  They come in assortment bags with different sizes and bright colors that make organizing, well, fun.

They are constructed with a bendable wire interior but have a durable, soft rubber exterior.  The combination makes them perfect for using and re-using and reshaping to your every need.  Nite Ize Gear Ties can be used to organize all kinds of cords and cables.  Think about all those hair dryers, kitchen appliances, game consoles and more that get so untidy with wayward cords.  You can corral them all with Nite Ize Gear Ties in a flash! Nite Ize Gear Ties pop on and off very easily too.

These small ties are colorful, reusable, water-proof, and have never ending uses. You can prop up your ipad so you can see that recipe when you are cooking or you can prop up your recipe on the back of that box like I did below. You won't have to keep picking it up to look at the recipe anymore!  Nite Ize sets whatever you like at the perfect angle


My little one had an issue that made me nuts with her ipad and iphone cords.... they were always falling on the floor. She was happy to see that the Nite Ize Gear Ties were able to keep her cords securely up on the shelf....no more grumbling from Mom about rampant cords.

Have you ever had a few friends over for coffee and cake or perhaps wine and cheese?  You all know the uncomfortable moment when you realize you picked up someone elses mug or glass and already drank from it.  The apologies...ugh, so embarrassing!  Nite Ize Gear Ties are a cute way to eliminate that problem. Just let everyone pick their own color and wrap it around their mug or wine glass. Problem solved!
A totally different idea that I thought of for this innovative product is in the beauty department.  Yes!  I even figured out I can use Nite Ize as a fun hair tie for a ponytail or braid.  The smooth material makes them easy to wrap around your hair with no pulling or yanking. They easily come off when you are ready to change your style too.  I think I could do something artsy with them and decorate them with beads to make them even prettier.  I will be tucking a Nite Ize tie into my purse for those windy days when I have to get my hair off my face too.
