First Impressions
Friends are the flowers in the garden of life. Vellabox
Summer is coming to a close, and real life is on the horizon. As I sip my morning coffee in the quiet, I am thankful for peaceful moments like this as I watch this month's Vellabox candle flicker. Encompassing all things warm, cozy, and relaxing - this box was exactly what I needed. Paired with a surprise gift and Spotify playlist, you've got yourself an entire experience rather than just a box!
What's Inside the Box
Resolute "White Tea" Candle - Retail Value $38.00
August tends to be bittersweet for me. It hosts a ton of exciting events, but is the wind down of summer, and makes me feel a little bit sad. This month's candle was created with soy wax and provides a high quality, clean burn, as it is made with non-toxic ingredients. Scented with premium fragrance oils including bergamot, mandarin, thyme, jasmine, ginger, white tea, and chrysanthemum, this candle creates the utmost relaxing space. With a medium scent throw, this candle lingers in my kitchen/dining area with the lightest floral pop that leaves you wanting more. The clear jar and minimalistic label works with all decor, and looks simply lovely wherever you might place it. With 80 hours of burn time, this candle will last me the entire month- creating ambiance each and every night!
Resolute Candles was created by Nicole to provide high-quality, clean-burning candles made with non-toxic ingredients. Hand-crafted, these candles burn cleanly and provide fragrance to brighten up your space. Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, this company has some fantastic fragrances, but even better logos - look up "Drunk Cat series" to see what I mean!!
Now for the secret item!
Swedish Dishcloths - Set of 2 - Retail Value $10
I was just noticing the other day that we go through a lot of paper towels, so this was a really cool inclusion! Swedish dishcloths are designed to replace single-use paper towels. Durable, reusable, and machine washable, these cloths don't pill or crumble, and look fantastic! With the ability to absorb up to 20 times their weight in liquid, these are great for cleaning up messes. Odd in texture when dry, these are quite thick and have an embossed texture on the bottom. When damp, it has a wool cloth like feel and works great to wipe off counters. After use, hang to dry, or if extra dirty, wash in the dishwasher or washing machine! A great inclusion that I've discovered I'm quite fond of - I may have to order more of these things!
Was This Box Worth It?
The Cost: $29
Vellabox is a great subscription, and one I truly look forward to receiving each and every month. I literally burn candles every single night as part of my relaxation routine, and these natural candles are ones I feel good about burning. Since starting this subscription, I have stopped burning big-box store candles, and have replaced them with these, which has made a huge impact on our furnace filter! The combination of the white tea candle, dishcloths, and Spotify playlist continues to leave me impressed. I already can't wait to see what's in store for September.
