April Box Details
The April Yogi Surprise box theme is “Bodhi”
April showers bring a season of enlightenment. Awaken your body, honor your dharma and inspire enlightenment with this month’s handpicked offerings.
I’ve always liked when I’ve heard the name “Bodhi” but had never looked into the origins of the word. It’s a beautiful meaning translating to “spiritual awakening and freedom from the cycle of life,” so simplistically it’s about awakening. Spring is the perfect time to awaken your spirit since that’s exactly what nature is doing all around us. The included products will help enhance and inspire that mental state of uplift and renewal.
Here’s a look at what was in this month’s Yogi Surprise box ($85 total value):
Bee Lucia Awakened Wellness Candle
This candle is formulated with beeswax, organic coconut oil, rosemary, litsea, peppermint, lemongrass & bergamot oils and crushed carnelian crystals to invigorate your senses.
Wow! This candle smells so good. It’s bright and uplifting with heavy notes of the lemongrass and a cooling hint of the peppermint. I don’t note the bergamot so much, but I’m sure it grounds the scent a bit. Not only does it smell good, but it looks so pretty too! There’s a handful of carnelian crystals covering the top of the candle dotting it with a bright mosaic of oranges and reds. Carnelian is intended to bring energy to the root chakra and awaken the healing properties of creativity, confidence and self-expression. So that coupled with the invigorating scent is ultra inspiring. The other thing I love about this candle is that it’s made with just organic, cold pressed, unrefined coconut oil and all natural, food grade white beeswax so it burns clean and is hypoallergenic.
Enlightened Cleansing Bath Oil
Restore and reinvigorate with this illuminating bath oil from Yogi. Simply add 2-3 tablespoons to running later, circulate your bath, and enjoy. Suggested: Shake well before use.
I’ve never used a bath oil before and it sounds so luxurious. By adding this to a bath it helps to soften skin and it’s scent will invigorate the senses. It’s made from sweet almond oil, geranium, sandalwood, lemon, and clary sage essential oils. It smells soft yet, uplifting and makes me want to take a bath right now! It comes in a pretty frosted glass bottle that would look nice on the bathroom counter.
Soon Skincare Pomegranate Hydrogel Eye Patch with Collagen
Repair and rejuvenate your under-eyes with these soothing hydragel patches infused with circulation-boosting caffeine, plumping collagen, brightening niacinamide and superfood extracts.
These are a single use under-eye treatment patch with many skin soothing benefits for that delicate area of skin. Pomegranate is full of antioxidants that help rejuvenate skin and slow down aging so that, along with the other ingredients mentioned above, help create a more youthful appearance. These patches are like mini masks for your under eye and are really easy to use. You just apply to cleansed skin and leave on for 15-30 minutes while you let the ingredients do their magic. I’m always skeptical of under eye products but am really curious to see how these work.
Room Detoxifying Citrus Mist
Detoxify your space and recharge your energy with our Room Detoxifying Citrus Mist. Formulated with citrus extract and balancing essential oils, this spray is a breath of fresh air.
This sure does smell refreshing and uplifting and is such an easy way to enhance your mood (and also make your space smell amazing!). It’s aroma is full-on citrus and comes from grapefruit, orange and lemon essential oils. I love citrus so I’ll be using this one a lot. I think it would be good to use to spray first thing in the morning to start the day on a bright and positive note because citrus is known for enhancing positivity. Although, you can spray this abundantly in any space that needs it at any time of day.
Kore Herbals Sweet Geranium Orange Sugar Scrub
Awaken your skin with this botanical body scrub. Made with organic sugar, vitamin-rich sunflower oil, healing calendula petals and bright citrus oil for an uplifting experience.
Body scrubs are one of my favorite self-care tools. I like them because it’s such a quick and easy way to transform your skin to feeling smooth and taken care of which always makes me feel mentally taken care of too. Sugar scrubs are great because the gentle abrasion encourages circulation to the skins surface which helps regenerate skin while the dead skin cells get buffed off. This scrub is made with all organic ingredients and smells wonderful- a bit citrus-y and a bit earth-y.
Wildflower Heart Seed Bomb
The earth sings in flowers. Join the chorus with a Wildflower Seed Bomb packed with a variety of annual and perennial non-GMO wildflower seeds, beloved by birds and bees.
Ok, I love this idea so much! First, it’s an unexpected item to receive in this box. Second, I love surprises and planting one of these is a total surprise on what kind of flowers will grow. It says the mixture could include any of 50+ varieties of flower that will attract butterflies, hummingbirds and honeybees. And third, it’s so cool how you can just pop the little heart in the soil and it will biodegrade – so earth friendly! I think these would make a great party favor since they are so unique and cute. Can’t wait to plant these and see what pops up.
Yogi Surprise Review April 2019 – Final Thoughts
Such a fun assortment of products included in this month’s box. I love that Yogi Surprise did something new this time by branding and including their own labeled products – the bath oil, room mist and seed bombs. The bath oil and room mist coordinate with use so well in a bath setting and look nice sitting together on a countertop. As usual, all the products really align with the month’s theme which I always appreciate. Every product is wonderful and makes me excited to try them out while focusing on awakening my spirit and uplifting my mood.
