It’s time to celebrate our womanhood by treating ourselves to delicious snacks and soothing tea during that “time of the month”. As always, my Juniper box was packed full with all monthly essentials plus a little unexpected surprise item. By the way, do you ever read those glossy cards that come in your subscriptions? I never read any of them, except for my Juniper box inserts, because they’re always witty and fun. Here’s the May one for you (I thought the Parks and Rec reference was brilliant!).
“Hello Friend!
Did you know that May is National Hook-up Awareness month? It’s not. I just made that up. Glossy cards like this always have these profound life-affirming messages of zen, but I just want to keep Juniper cards witty, and our boxes full of indulgences. This month’s box is a little different: I found these adorable tins of lipbalm which I simply had to share. Treat yo’ lips! Also, Pretzels Crisps – pretzel shaped like chips! Pretty much the best invention, ever/ I highly recommend smearing these with upscale-nutella: salty, crunchy, and chocolatey-hazelnut-buttery goodness. Happiness. Will. Ensue.
Do you still want a life-affirming message? Here it is: be your effing self. Eat what you like. Say what’s on your mind. Do what makes you feel beautiful. There’s only one person like you. Do it for Mr. Rogers – be yourself!”

Davidson’s Tulsi Chamomile, Hibiscus and Signature Blend & GloryBee Honey Straws in Blackberry, Mango and Mint
Tea and honey are my PMS staples, and Juniper didn’t disappoint. I have never heard of Davidson’s tea before but I’m definitely going to check it out, because I really liked all three of these Tulsi teas. The honey sticks were also heavenly, especially the mango one! I went to GloryBee website to find out more about them, and right now they have a sale going on AND they have a limited stock of the rare PNW meadowfoam honey which I hurried to buy as soon as I saw the ad 🙂
Cherry Bay Orchards Montmorency Cherries
I’ve always associated cherries with summer, so these brought a lot of sun into my house, even when it was actually cloudy outside. At only 90 calories per pack, these little natural delights are a healthy, sweet, and guiltless snack for any time of the day.
Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
This nutty spread is seriously amazing, and I’m not a spread person and never have been. I never cared for Nutella or for PB, but this spread was so addicting, and it actually tasted like nuts instead of pasty sugar!
Clean Getaway Soap Company Lip Balm
This lip balm smells absolutely delightful and totally edible! This little tin made a cute addition to my purse, and I already had one lady ask me where I got it 🙂
Pretzel Crisps Deli Style Original Pretzels
Brilliant! This is one of those things that makes you go “omg why didn’t I think of it myself”. Such a simple idea but it’s exactly what was missing from the pretzel shelf. I absolutely adore these thin little pretzels and I can totally see why Pink (and probably other celebs) love them too.
… and, of course, the Girly Goodies
Everything was in place, in the quantities specified in the email communications.
