Cravebox Cooking Light Box

So, I got a email for Cravebox saying that they had openings for the Cooking Light Cravebox.  Well, I don't cook buuuuuut I had to enter, winning these boxes are like winning the lottery for me!  I think I have a serious problem, I LOVE getting these boxes in the mail.  So of course I signed up and I WON! This box cost $13 which did include shipping, their boxes usually range from $10-$15 but they are changing the box system so we will see what exactly surprises are to come!

So anyway, here is my Cravebox Cooking Light Box.

The outside of the box looked like this.  HOW FREAKING CUTE!!!  

Here's the box!  Isn't this freaking amazing!!!!  

 This is all of the coupons and recipes.

A Reference Chart, I know that I will need this!


I received 5 different brands in the box.


The first one is Fruit Crisps from Dole.  I received 3 different flavors and a total of six Fruit Crisps

• Apple Pear
• Apple Cinnamon
• Peach

 "When you need a little "me time," reach for a DOLE® Fruit Crisp, the perfect combination of all-natural fruit and crunchy oat and brown sugar topping.  Enjoy warm or cold."

These are really good, you can eat them just out of the little plastic cup or warm them up.  They are cups of fruit with a fruit sauce.  They also each come with an oat and brown sugar topping that you can add on.  My 1 year old loved this!

$2 each.
3 FULL SIZE SAMPLES $6.00

The second item I received is McCormick Perfect Pinch Seasoning.

"Explore your passion for flavor!  Combinations of herbs and spices that help you create inspired dishes your family with love.  With 22 varieties, including 7 salt-free, it's easy to add perfectly blended flavor to your meals."

I received two Salt Free Garlic & Herb Seasonings.  It says its great on chicken, shrimp, pork, beef and vegetables.  There are recipes under the wrapper which sound delish!  We haven't tried these yet but they smell so good, I know that we will use this for sure!!!!

FULL SIZE $2.64 EACH
My value $5.28

The Third Item I received is the Tullys French Roast Coffee

"Tullys® captures just the right flavors in every satisfying cup.  Tully's french roast is the ultimate coffee story, as written in a Parisian café:  Powerful and intense, with a bittersweet end."

I am not a coffe drinker, NOT AT ALL.  But my husband on the other hand is a coffee addict.  He took this to work with him and he said it was good, not as good as Starbucks but good.  He also said that he didn't have any creamer with it so I'm sure that made a huge difference.
This came with an interesting recipe for Coffee Banana Bread. Hmmm

Full Size $9.49

The Fourth Item is Nectresse

"The deliciously sweet extract of monk fruit combined with the perfect blend of other natural sweeteners.  100% natural with nothing artificial.  You're going to love the way it taste!"

I don't use artificial sweetners but my Mom does so these are going straight to her.  I am tempted to use these though, it came with a big book of recipes that look so good.  But I know that my Mom will love these.  These are from the makers of Splenda which is what she uses too.

Full Size: $5.62

The last item is the Torani® Sugar Free Salted Caramel Syrup.

 "Torani's the secret ingredient of coffeehouses everywhere.  Treat your coffee to Torani's for authentic coffeehouse flavor.  It's easy to use - simply add a splash of Torani to brewed coffee and add milk or cream to taste."

I have never used these but I have seen them all the time.  I really don't know how to use this.  I also got a recipe book with this, but I didn't see any that had a recipe for THIS flavor.  I also got a $1.00 off coupon.  I just found out that if you go to their website there are a TON of recipes!

Full Size: $7.95

So there's my box.  The total for the items that I received is $34.34.  Not too bad!!!

Cravebox Limited Edition Back To School

I FINALLY received my back to school Cravebox.  This box took extra long to get to everyone because there was some mess up with a product that was included, Im not sure which one but the hurricane delayed everything.  Some people on Facebook were getting super mean about it, I was fine with the delay, you can't help mother nature.
Well the CEO of Cravebox sent out an email saying that everyone who got the box would be refunded the $13 that we paid for the box, but we were still receiving our boxes as well.  I have to give Cravebox a HUUUUGE thumbs up for taking such good care of their customers.

So, onto the box.  I initially paid only $13 for this box but now that it was refunded to me, It was free.

Heres the Box:

Cravebox limited editon Back to School box

Here is what I received:


I received a coupon for one FREE Lunchables Lunch Combinations.  These are brand new Lunchables that include a smoothie, they also have sandwiches, chicken or pizza instead of the cheese, meat and crackers.

Free Lunchable 

The smoothie inside of these Lunchables are made with a half-cup of real fruit.  There are 3 varieties to choose from. 

• Turkey + Cheddar Sub Sandwich with a Chiquita strawberry banana smoothie and includes double stuffed oreos.
• Chicken Strips with a Chiquita strawberry banana smoothie and also includes double stuffed oreos.

I think my kids will love these, I am excited I get to try one for free!

halo Oral Antiseptic™ - Citrus Flavor for Adults.

Halo Citrus- Adult 

This reminds me of that airborne stuff.  This says it is the first ever, oral antiseptic spray proven to kill 99.9% of common infectious airborne germs you breathe in for up to six hours.  Alcohol, dye and sugar free.  

This is still patent-pending so Im not sure how trusting this is.  The taste isn't bad, but it isn't something wonderful either.  There are 35 doses per 1.0 fl oz bottle.

1.0 fl oz retails for $12.99

Aloe Vera Gel from Fruit of the Earth®

I love Aloe Vera......when Im sunburnt.  With Summer over and my pool closed, I really doubt I will use this until next summer.  I already have 4 different aloe vera gels, sprays, and creams but hey I will add this to the collection.  

This Aloe Vera contains no alcohol, no color added and is fragrance free.  It really has no fragrance at all, I rubbed it on my arm and still could not smell anything.  It says that this Aloe Vera is made with the most concentrated amount of fresh Aloe Vera leaves on the market.

6 oz retails for $6.46

Slim Packs from Kleenex®

Outside of Kleenex slim pack

Inside of Kleenex slim pack

I think these are super adorable and I absolutely love how it has two big openings when you open the  packet.  I think these are so much easier to get a kleenex out of instead of their other travel packets.  I will definitely be buying more of these.

Ahh, the joys of motherhood, I now get excited over Kleenex!!!

10 3-ply tissues $2.99

Yummi Bears® children's vitamins with DHA/Omega 3 plus $1 off coupon

These actually taste good!  My kids took them without even complaining.  I do get nervous with gummy vitamins because I worry that my kids will try to open them because they will think they are candy, so these go up on the very top shelf, in the very back.  I will give these to my kids every day though.  Allergen, Gluten and Dairy Free, All Natural Fruit Flavors and Colors.

90 Gummy Bears $29.99 + $1 off Coupon

Little Pim®

Spanish for kids "playtime" DVD 3

I have never used any of the language DVD's so Im not really sure what to think about this.  The kid's all seem excited so we will give it a try.  Little Pim is the #1 early language system.  I received DVD #3 playtime, it introduces 60 Spanish words associated with playtime.

Little Pim DVD 3 Playtime $17.95

BIC® Atlantis Ball Pen and Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencil

Velocity Mechanical Pencil $7.96 pack of 4

Box Total:  $85.30

For originally only paying $13 for this box and getting $85.30 valued box, I think thats amazing.  I think its even more amazing that I ended up not paying one penny for this box!!

The Summer Beauty Cravebox

Yay, I just got my limited edition summer beauty Cravebox yesterday. I am so excited to share this box with everyone.

Cravebox does have subscription boxes but I have been on the waiting list forever and ever and still haven't heard anything, but they do limited edition boxes that you can sign up for.  For the limited edition boxes you fill out a short little questioner that has questions that are related to things about that box theme.  There have been a few other boxes but I have never signed up for them, there was a dog box, a bbq box, and they have a back to school box going on now.  They are usually 10-15 dollars, I paid $11 for my box.

So heres my August 2012 Limited Edition Summer Beauty Cravebox~

The First Item I received Oatmeal and Peppermint Body Bar from Garden Botanika®
Leaders in botanically based blends of nature and science.

This is a full sized bar.  It smells sooooo good, it reminds me of a candy cane and I want to eat it.  If my  mom would have washed my mouth out with this when I was little, I don't think I would have minded at all.  Im usually not a big fan of bars of soap because I don't like how it leaves my skin feeling dry, but I am excited to try this.
FULL SIZE 4.2 oz $7

The second Item is Shea Sugar Body Scrub from Tree Hut® in Tropical Mango.
With the exotic scents of tropical mango for intense exfoliation and long-lasting nourishment.

The third item is Totally Ageless™ Intensive Eye Treatment from Puristics®
a non-irritating, vitamin enriched formula for smoother, softer, younger looking skin.

I love eye creams, I don't know why.  If I don't like them for my eyes they are a perfect lip conditioner! This is a pretty big eye cream!  It says fragrance free but I can still smell something, it doesn't smell bad but it doesn't smell good.  This company does not do animal testing, its free from harmful chemicals, no parabens, phthalates or sulfates.  I applied this to my hand and it made it so soft!  I will def trying this for my eyes tonight.
