TheraBox Review June 2020

TheraBox is a monthly subscription box curated by practicing therapists to inspire happier lives. It’s your ultimate self care subscription, incorporating a happiness boosting activity each month and 6-8 full sized wellness products sourced from vendors that produce natural, organic, and feel-good products you’ll love! They kindly sent us this box for review.

It has been a few months since my last TheraBox review and boy have I missed it. Shipping from the US to Canada hasn’t been the easiest task as of late so a lot of our boxes either showed up late or not at all. Any who…..we seem to be back on track and I am very excited about it because the June box just might be one of my favourite TheraBox to date.

Subscription Details

When you subscribe to TheraBox, you can choose a month to month plan, a 3-month prepay plan, a 6-month prepay plan, or an annual prepay plan! TheraBox ships worldwide, and each box has a value of over $100! *Domestic shipping is $4.99 per box.

Each box includes 1 research inspired therapeutic activity to wire your brain for more joy plus 6 to 8 self-care wellness goodies to reduce stress & enhance your life! They aim to inspire more love & happiness in every box through mindfully curated products to feed your mind, body & soul.

Here’s a closer look at the June TheraBox…

INKLING SCENTS | FOREST WHISPERS PERFUME OIL – $40

Travel to the woods with the fresh scent of Inkling Scent’s Forest Whispers Perfume Oil that effortlessly brings nature to any space with real standing organic fir leaves hand-selected and deposited in every bottle. Picture a forest opening with a clean, green aroma of white fir and violet leaf. At the heart, you’ll be welcomed by the light aroma of jasmine petals supporting the base of white woods, vanilla and musk. Suspended in the air are fir leaf needles for peaceful relaxation. The fir oil meanwhile grounds you to the earth and has an empowering effect on the mind. It also acts as a pain reliever for muscle aches and joint inflammation. Combined, this rich, deep, vibrant scent is unique and soul-satisfying. Made with 100% pure oils – all natural, with no synthetics, phthalates, parabens or sulfates, Forest Whispers is also vegan and cruelty free.

THE HAPPY SHOPPE | OCEAN BREEZE 100% SOY CANDLE – $14.95

No matter the season, the fresh and calming fragrance of an ocean breeze fills us with clarity, refreshes our souls to the core and entices us to spend adventures near the water. When you need to sit back, relax and bring the fresh fragrance of tumbling waves of the ocean into your home, this custom-designed Ocean Breeze 100% Soy candle will sail you away to the coast on cool, aquatic winds. It’s a well-rounded fragrance that marries the notes of salty ozone with the aromas of nature while capturing the wild unpredictability of the waves. Steady notes of fresh air, mixed with salty sea froth and driftwood are delicately balanced with the calming aromas from the shoreline. So whenever you need a dose of instant vitamin sea, think of lighting this candle as an adventure to a rustic and chic surf-friendly summer abode in the Carribean — the final touch to complete your personal atmosphere of summer love and comfort at home!

And the outdoor vibes continue! Candles are one of my favorite items to receive and this one is not only pretty, it also fits with the theme perfectly.

Modeled after the all-natural formula of the World Health Organization’s recommendation for rapid rehydration, Buoy transforms any drink into a hydrating one, without changing the taste! Packed in a slick 2oz squeeze bottle containing the electrolytes of 13 Gatorades without any of the sugar, calories or artificial ingredients, Buoy will make sure that you are hydrated all summer long! TIP: Go wild! Add one, half-second squeeze to any drink you like — be it iced coffees, pilsners, protein shakes, green goddess smoothies, California cabs, Diet Coke and water (or as the French say, La Croix).

I am very excited about this next item. I am making an effort to drink as much water as possible, and stay as hydrated as possible, so this is the perfect product for me. I LOVE that it doesn’t have any added sugar and that it has the electrolytes of 13 Gatorades! Great to keep in your purse so you can stay hydrated on the go!

VITAMASQUES | ALOE VERA HYDRO SHEET JELLY MASK – $7

Here we have a lovely little mask, perfect for your Summer skincare routine. Apply it after a day spent at the beach. I love that it includes aloe and that it will treat a dehydrated complexion.

THE HAPPY SHOPPE | ADVENTURE JOURNAL – $18

‘Tis the season of rosé, lounging around on the beach, going on spontaneous getaways, and getting a dose of vitamin sea. Summer is almost synonymous with adventures but for many of us, the thought of leaving the comforts of our home, much less the city, may seem scary and intimidating during this time. We can all feel it; summer is calling us out and we just can’t stop daydreaming about where we will go once everything returns to normal. This might feel a little counter-intuitive given this year’s circumstances, but it never hurts to start planning early and find something to look forward to. Or, if you’re ready for a dose of adventure pronto– there are definitely ways to plan little safe weekend adventures even if you can’t travel outside of the country! The simple act of making an itinerary of your future destinations, be it to Napa, the Louvre or locally secluded places, produces dopamine in your brain– whether you’re actually going through the trip or not. You can also use this journal to log some of your past adventures. Science says reliving happy experiences and the power of positive memories can jump start your mood and help you feel optimistic for the future.

How great is this travel journal?! I just absolutely love it. It has so many fun pages to fill out – a map to shade where you have been, a page to keep track of your travel savings, packing lists, a bucket list and so much more.

TheraBox Review June 2020 – Final Thoughts

It’s official! This is one of my favorite TheraBox deliveries to date. I love the thoughtfully curated products and the fact that they embraced the Summer season. There are so many lovely products perfect for the time of year – a blanket for the beach, skincare with sunscreen, a travel journal for summer road trips, electrolytes to stay hydrated during the hot summer months, and so much more. TheraBox did a lovely job with the June box. It makes me very excited to see what they have on store for July.
