Mmmm… more chocolate! Juniper is one of the boxes I’m always anxious to receive, which is only natural considering when it arrives, if you know what I mean 🙂 This month Lynn trick-or-treated us to some delicious confections; and I don’t know about you, but I always welcome more sweets, especially in October when the weather finally starts looking more Autumn-like with gray sky and occasional rain.
HOW IT WORKS
Juniper is a tampons and treats subscription aimed at redefining the monthly period experience for women. Juniper wants to turn a woman’s period each month from a cause of stress into an occasion for pampering. Every cycle, a Juniper package is delivered to the subscriber before her period begins. For $28/month subscribers are sent a personalized selection of tampons and other backup protection products, as well as hand-picked gourmet treats like artisan chocolates and herbal teas.

Mighty Leaf Tea & Nature’s Kick Honey Sticks – I greatly enjoy the selection of teas in my Juniper boxes, I don’t think I’ve ever not liked one. And I always seem to be able to find new and exciting flavors to add to my “must buy” list. The honey sticks I usually mix right into the tea, but this time the flavors were so bold, I used them as standalone snacks.
New Tree Orange Pearls – Who doesn’t love guilt-free sweets that also taste amazing? I sure do, and considering that I’m trying to drop 10’ish lbs, it’s a nice alternative to traditional candy. I personally really like the combination of orange and dark chocolate, I actually sometimes make chocolate dipped orange slices for dessert.
Amella Gray Sea Salt Caramels – These were mindblowingly good! The soft filling is made with agave nectar, which I personally think is a lot sweeter than sugar, and the combination of the super sweet handmade caramel and sea salt is just phenomenal. It reminded me of the time I first tried Cocomels, I was almost in tears because of how good they were. Same feelings this time 🙂
Bridgebrands Book Lover’s Milk Chocolate – The chocolate wasn’t as sweet as some people might be used to, but I personally liked that. It’s made of high quality cocoa beans imported from three different continents and selected for consistently superior flavor. This would make a perfect little gift for any sweet-tooth book lover in your life! I wish the shipping wasn’t so expensive, or I would definitely get some for my MIL 🙂
TCHO PureNotes Dark Chocolates – These little chocolate squares are so pretty, even the closeup picture looks like a piece of pop art that you could hang on a wall. I liked all four of them, so I don’t have a clear favorite, but the quality of the cocoa mixture is as outstanding as the wrapper.
Girly Goodies
Nothing to see here, gentlemen, move along please! 🙂 The white box is filled with my choice of tampons, and the cute golden pouch contains pads and Midol painkillers. I love that I can tell Juniper exactly what products I need and in which quantities, and they will accommodate to my needs.
THE VERDICT
I was really happy with my October Juniper box, it contained so many delicious treats! Those TCHO chocolates look like a piece of art, and Amella caramels are out of this world. I don’t even know where Lynn finds these things, but I really enjoy discovering new treats every month. On that note, is it November yet? 🙂
