Eco Emi

Eco-Emi 
If you're curious about what kinds of organic/natural products are out there, how much they cost and if the're worth trying, then you definitely need to check out this company. For $15 a month they send you a box of treasures all natural / organic and each individually packaged in the most adorable little satchels and cloth with twine. In Junes box I'm really looking forward to the deoderant and the rest is a suprise that I'm chomping at the bit for.

My apologies for not having any pictures of my June box. June turned out to be very busy for me but I wanted to tell you all that I really was impressed with June's EcoEmi box. The whole presentation was adorable and the selection of products was amazing. I was particularly impressed that of the 2 facial soap bars that were included there was one for oily/nrmal skin and one for dry/normal so the box was fit for any skin type. My mother and I both look forward to the arrival of my box because we know that its filled for products for both of us. Out of this box mom got the stain remover, facial soap for dry skin, glee gum, and a couple other tid bits. We were both very pleased with the facial soaps which was quite suprising. I found that the deoderant worked great although I'm not very partial to that specific scent in a deoderant. I also was very pleased with the pangea organics facial mask. Stay tuned for July's EcoEmi box!

This month's box blew my mind! It was so cute. When I opend the box a bunch of tiny pink star confetti fell out. My constant favorite thing about these boxes are the reusable, eco & culturally sustainable bags. Just look at how awesome that one with the key on it is ;-)

Ok so at first glance the stand out favorite of my roomates and myself this month is the fortune cookie soap. Yes you read correctly "Fortune Cookie Soap" how adorable is that?! At first glance it even had a fortune in it which mom and I both were incredibly excited to read. But when I pulled it out all it said was a discount code and that it was made with lavender essential oil (my favorite scent btw). So we were kind of disapointed about that but the discount code is actually very good. The soap is purple and has a hint of glitter to it, it smells divine and made the perfect addition to my 'girly bathroom things'. The cookie soap retails for about $2.75 I believe. Totally a deal to begin with! I will deffinately be ordering some of these for the next round of goodie bags I need to put together. 

July's Box like I said was full of so many usefull things. It came with a really generous size sample of coconut oil that I can't wait try. I've been dying to try this as a hair mask. I passed the two floor cleaner samples on to my mom who was strangely happy about it. The little case of cinnamints whent dirrectly into my purse for future emergency situations. One thing that really impressed me when I finished unwrapping everything is that I realized that the lotion (shown on the right) is a brand that my local Rite Aid carries. That was exciting for me because I'm always on the look out of natural, effective, resonably priced products that are available locally. This box was nothing but amazing things this month and I can't wait to dive into them!

This month's box is amazing! Look how adorable it is in all of it's fall glory. Of course the first thing I noticed is that the green bag is actually made out of some kind of silky, polyester type fabric. Untill now I've only had mesh and burlap type bags witch are of course awesome in them selves, but this was a nice suprise.
Now I just realized that I forgot to do an August Eco Emi review. That's probably because I was thoroughly upset with it. But this month they made more than a come back. August's box was a bust for me because I was so excited that the main item was a mini skin care set, but they sent me one for dry skin. I have oily/combination skin. Apperantly this happend to several people as there was quite alot of outrage from other subscribers. Eco Emi handled the comotion incredibly well. They promptly put out a survey to determine theire subscribers individual needs in regards to hair and skin types among other details. But even after all that I still found myself a little apprehensive as to what this months box would entail.

I cannot rave enough about this box! It had three of my favorite things... honey, pasta, tea... Yes I am a food lover ;-) I was very impressed to see that we received a full size tin of mints instead of just four individual mints this time. These mints are a lemongrass mint flavor and smell amazing. A lip gloss was incuded which was a bit of a surprise for me as I haven't had one of those in any of my previous box's. It's a very flattering shade, slightly mauve red. I didn't notice any flavor and it felt smooth on my lips. I really can't stand sticky glosses and so this one is a keeper. Another rather unique item was the perfume. For some reason I was expecting it have a barely there scent but it's actually quite strong and very floral, musk. We received a large packet of bath soak that I'm dying to dive into. It's got oats in it so I imagine that it's very calming and moisturizing. Also included was an eyeshadow sample in Sandalwood (I beleive) which seems like a very neutral beige color, and of course our traditional chapstick. I couldnt beleive how delicious this months chapstick smells. I think it's some sort of Apple scent but oh my goodness it smells like the apple crisp candles at those super spendy candle shops. It's formula seems ultra creamy and the adorably cute little smiling bummble bee on the tube is just to cute for words.
My favorite about this month is all the foodie things they gave us. I'm a honey junkie and we received not one but two good sized packets of 100 % pure honey harvested in Florida, yumm. My mother and I both gasped at the honey and the box of pasta. We couldnt beleive how pretty the multi colored pasta is and we can't wait to make a beautiful pasta salad with it. Other then the mints a sample of tea was also included. Not just one but three packets of tea, all of which sound delish. The really unique thing that caught my eye about this tea sample was that one was caffine free, one light caffine, and one caffine. Talk about appealing to all levels right? So yes I think Eco Emi deffinately learned something from last months events and maximized the turn around. Nice work Eco Emi we love you!
