Juniper Box Unboxing and Review: June 2013

Happy first days of summer, everyone! I’m celebrating here with a nice bag of treats from Juniper, my favorite time-of-the-month subscription service. Brownies, key lime cookies and delicious tea – I got all I need to have a wonderful week.

Brownie Bliss by The Inspired Cookie
If you follow Juniper on social media, you know that Lynn has been craving a brownie that delivers a huge chocolate punch for a while, and she might have just found The One. It’s very chocolatey and moist, and it was almost too rich to eat the whole thing in one sitting, so I split it in two halves and saved one for later 🙂
Overall: 4.5/5
Purchase: Yes

J&M Key Lime Cookies
These cookies really tasted just like tiny key lime pies, and I munched down the entire pack in one sitting. They made a perfect addition to my unsweetened black tea, and left me wanting more. I would definitely buy some, but I know that even if I get the biggest box available on the site, I would eat them all right away again.
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

Under the Boardwalk by Nibnaks
I love dried fruits! I grew up in a family where those were the only sweets my sister and I were allowed to eat until we were old enough to sneak Snickers bars into our rooms. Out of this mix I especially liked the mangoes, and not just because it happens to be my favorite fruit, but also because they tasted very natural and not too sweet.
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

Calolea Glycerine Olive Oil Soap
Oh wow, I love Calolea EVOO, and I had no idea they made body products! It will be interesting to try this soap, which I’m sure is very luxurious, considering it’s made with Calolea olive oil.
Overall: n/a
Purchase: n/a

Pukka Tea and Glorybee Honey Sticks
As you know, tea and honey are my period staples, because of their warming and soothing effect on the body. So far I have only tried the Detox tea bag and amaretto honey stick, and both were very yummy.
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

The verdict: June box was probably my favorite so far, the treats were truly delightful and a perfect match for my personal taste. I realize that food preferences are very individual, but I really hope to see more boxes like this in the future. Thank you for yet another great month, Lynn!
