ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE | OMBRE FRINGE SCARF – $39.99

Nothing says cozy than being bundled up in your new favorite chunky scarf! An easy-to-wear look that is going to dominate your holidays, the gradient scarf from AYNIL is made of a luxe anti-pilling fiber blend (read: suuuper warm and snuggly soft) and will cocoon you with comfort as you go about all your activities this holiday season. Inspired by the colors of fall and winter, this super cozy scarf is made in a gradient colorway and is wide enough to wear over your shoulders or wrapped around your neck multiple times for warmth. Wear this when you’re out on your morning stroll or just cozied up on your couch — this chunky lightweight scarf is the definition of cold weather-kitschiness at its best!

Members could have received either the beige or gray gradient scarf. I received beige and as much as I LOVE grey, the beige is actually a nice change. And…..I am finding myself gravitating away from grey and more towards beige colors as of late…..I never thought I would see the day. 

This scarf is AH-MAZING! It’s oversized, long, super soft, and oh-so-cozy. This would make the best gift, but I love it so much I want to keep it for myself.

SCENTERED | DE-STRESS WELLBEING RITUAL AROMATHERAPY BALM – $24

If there was ever a time to need a little help to de-stress, it’s during a busy holiday season, right? The De-Stress Aromatherapy Balm is a remarkably soothing blend that can help you juggle more throughout your day, by keeping you calm and in control. Made with 100% natural, essential oil and manufactured in the UK, this plant-based balm blends Chamomile, which promotes calmness, Neroli, which uplifts and relaxes, and Mandarin, which helps soothe tension and support feelings of well-being. Sourced from the finest ingredients around the world, the De-Stress Aromatherapy Balm also ensures a minimized carbon footprint with its eco-friendly packaging!

This gorgeous little balm was a winner of the Beauty Shortlist Wellbeing Award 2019. How great is that?! And it’s absolutely perfect as I have definitely been feeling the holiday stress as of late. You are to apply the balm directly to your wrist, neck, and temples. Inhale – Raise your wrists to your nose and deeply inhale while visualizing the mind state you wish to achieve at this moment.

SARA SALAM | MY TRUTH JOURNAL – $19.99

Sometimes, we crave freedom from the external chaos and seek moments of personal peace. My Truth Journal is a tool to help you make the most of these moments, so that you can create the space for prioritizing yourself. Show your gratitude for a loved one by gifting them (or yourself!) with the resource to promote self-care and self-love. Whether you’re struggling in managing doing everything you love, or you’re simply feeling stretched too thin, this month’s Happiness Boosting Activity can help carve out moments of peace that are much needed, especially during the busy holiday season.

This guided framework is based on focus, affirmation, and gratitude to help you dig deeper and decompress. It has prompts on each page:

1. I am…..
2. Grateful for….
3. Looking forward to….

I think this is great because I personally try to start each day by listing a few things I am grateful for. I like the idea of writing them down as I will be able to look back at them anytime I need a reminder that I have an abundance of things to be thankful for.

J & L NATURALS | ORANGE & CEDARWOOD | GROWTH HAIR SERUM – $26.99

Hydration, protection and growth—we all want this for our hair! J&L Naturals’ blend of antioxidant-rich coconut and argan oils penetrate deep to condition and nourish, while grapeseed and castor oils stimulate your scalp, shield from damage, and promote healthy growth. This must-have combination results in a vitamin-packed hair serum light enough for your luscious locks, while still giving you that salon-like shine! Topped with orange and cedarwood essential oils for a bright, woodsy aroma. Simple.

If you’ve never tried a hair oil/serum before I am here to tell you that they are awesome! I’ve used them in the past to help my hair grow, to fix damage, and to just help with overall hair health. To use simply put 3-5 drops of serum into your hands and work through ends of wet or dry hair. You could also apply a little more prior to bed and leave it on overnight. 

PS – It includes castor oil which is supposed to be very good for hair growth!

THE HAPPY SHOPPE | FELT LETTER BOARD – $25

Function, fun and home decor in one! This TheraBox custom-designed Felt Letter Board easily transcribes your favorite quotes and messages with a bold classical typeface for easy to read print that stands out from across the room. Add handcrafted custom charm to any bookshelf or desk space and spice it up! Rearrange alphanumeric characters to your heart’s content, with enough repeating characters to transcribe those troublesome to spell sentences. Made with a hardwood frame but light enough to handle, this letter board has a saw tooth hanger and dispstand preinstalled for easy to set up signage. Quickly set up messages on the go for outdoor activities such as bake sales or lemonade stands without the hassle of flimsy poster boards and dried out markers. Or set it up in your home office, kitchen or as a photoshoot prop!

Awe…..don’t you just love felt boards!? They are fun, cute and make a great little decor piece. I’m not really a fan of pink, but it’s so cute that I might just have to use it regardless.

TASTEA HEAVEN | BEAUTY TASTEA – $15+ (€12.90)

Looking to hydrate, soothe, detoxify and protect your skin all in one? Look no further. Beauty tastea imported from Greece is a 100% natural, vegan, gluten-free and caffeine-free herbal blend rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to emanate your health and beauty from the inside out. Sage and rosemary, used since Ancient Greece, have antioxidants that combat free radicals known to cause wrinkles, fine lines and aging with antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties that are beneficial to the skin. Chamomile is great for overall skin healing, improving skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne scars, minor breakouts and pigmentation while calming the senses. It accelerates tissue and cell regeneration alongside nettle which acts as a diuretic to flush out toxins. Rosehip and hibiscus are rich in Vitamins C, A, zinc and iron, known for collagen production and skin cell renewal while peppermint + jasmine slows down oil production in the skin. Everything starts from within, and this cozy tastea will help clear your skin and promote a positive and healthy wellbeing inside out!

Is it just me or does this tea sound SO good! I mean…..it claims to help with fine lines and aging and I am ALL for that! I feel like this would be a much better way to start my day than my usual cup of coffee.

CLEAR MY HEAD | CLEAR MY HEAD 2 GO – $14

Peace begins and ends with each breath. The Clear My Head To Go is an economical and convenient all natural yet effective sinus/tension relief roll-on that helps open sinuses, inhibits airborne pathogens (bacteria, viruses) and can reduce secondary infections. Apply to sinus areas as needed for quick relief for congestion and for a boost to your immune system. These .35 ounces of quality Jojoba oil and pure essential oils have a long shelf life of two years. A custom blend of seven pure essential oils and all natural herbs, the ingredients are chosen for their anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties to help boost your immune system and help protect you from airborne pathogens. Great for pocket, purse or travel.

You all know I love my essential oil roll-ons so this is right up my alley. I also really appreciate that it is specifically for cold and allergy relief. Something we could all use this time of year!

MEG COSMETICS | TWO STEP JELLY MASK – HYDRATING AND MOISTURIZING MASK – $6

It’s fair to say our skin goes through a lot during the colder days. Give your skin a much-needed break with this ultra-revitalizing and nourishing Two Step Jelly Mask in the Hydrating and Moisturizing blend from Meg Cosmetics.

Step 1 of the mask includes an AHA Peeling Swab with 9% Lactic Acid. Lactic Acid helps exfoliate dead skin cells, creating a smooth and softer skin for a youthful appearance.

Step 2 of the mask which includes Lavender extract and the Viola Tricolor extract which helps to moisturize and hydrate the skin. Additionally, the added Blueberry extract brings life back to dull skin and illuminates your skin complexion. Seasonal dryness is no match for Meg’s two step jelly mask!

Such a unique mask, unlike any I have received before. But…..to be totally honest, I’m not quite sold on step one. I have to do a little more research on this prior to using it.

TheraBox Review November 2020 – Final Thoughts

I have to say…..I am loving the November TheraBox! First of all, I automatically love anything with a “cozy” theme, and the fact that they included a beautiful “cozy” scarf makes it that much better. I also love the balm, the hair serum, the journal and the tea. But I also really love the felt board so I pretty much LOVE the entire box! If you aren’t currently a subscriber, TheraBox is definitely one to keep an eye on.
