Mindful Souls Subscription Box Review
Mindful Souls I absolutely adore getting subscription boxes, and this one was an impulse buy after seeing the company advertised on Facebook. *Note: This box was not provided free in exchange for review. This review is entirely impartial and the opinion of the author only. Mindful Souls at mindfulsouls.com is a pretty, minimalist website offering crystals, jewellery, and other spiritual wellness products. The one that caught my eye was the Mindful Box, promising “Self-love and self-care” via a monthly subscription of crystals, aromatherapy products, and mindful jewellery. The price was more than I would usually have liked to have paid, but there was a special offer on: Usually £39.99…

Jade Unboxes! Manifestation Box from Gogh Jewelry Design
Gogh Jewelry graciously sent us one of their monthly Manifestation Boxes to review in our Pages. It came in a simple, yet cute box. I like that they didn’t use a lot of paper, glitter, or other extras in the shipping department. In my opinion, I would rather the box and décor are simple, and the money better spent in product or material for the customer. The box consisted of a necklace, a bracelet, and a stone, as well as a handout on the theme for the month and your personal astrology for that month. The necklace (which was my favorite item in the box), was…

Jade Reviews The Healing Lamp From Conscious Items
Product Review Store: Conscious Items Product: The Healing Lamp Retail Price: $49.99 Conscious Items sent us their “Healing Lamp” to review. It is absolutely adorable. They have a wonderful description of the item on their site that includes a very extensive list of Clear Quartz properties. I think this stone is probably the best choice for a lamp, as it helps and heals with so many different things. Because the stone is not permanently attached to the lamp, it does offer the option of changing out the crystals if you wanted to focus on one thing specifically, which I think was smart. With the use of Clear Quartz however,…
