Bestowed ♥ {review + giveaway}

I don't know about you, but I feel like a kid at Christmas when a package shows up at my front door.  I mean, even if I'm expecting it, there's nothing like the anticipation of wrasslin' open that box to see what's inside.

If you're anything like me, you'd enjoy receiving a bright orange box at your doorstep every month that is filled with fun, healthy products.  Some items may be new to you.  Other items may already to favorites.

I'm talking about Bestowed.  If you sign up for Bestowed, every month you'll have a box delivered to  your door that contains at least 5 awesome nutrition and lifestyle products inside.  These products are hand-picked by nutritionist and author Heather Bauer.  Each month is different, so you never know what you'll be getting.

I had the opportunity to receive a free Bestowed box this month.  Guess how I felt about the whole experience?  I loved opening that box to find some fun products to explore.  This month's box contained EBOOST, iTrain, Oloves Hot Chilli Mama Olives, Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts, KIND Healthy Grains Oats & Honey Granola, Gnu Foods Hi-Fiber Minis, and Nektar Honey Crystals.

In a nutshell, I've had a blast exploring the new-to-me products (EBOOST, iTrain, Oloves, Hi-Fiber Minis, and Nektar) and was super stoked to have a couple of products that I already adore (KIND granola and Hemp Hearts).

It was a no-brainer to decide that I wanted to receive a new box at my door every month.  How 'bout you?  Would you like to receive a Bestowed box at your door every month?  Maybe just now and again?  Well, Bestowed has given the opportunity for one of my readers to receive a One-Month Subscription to Bestowed today!  Details on how to enter in just a second.  But if you absolutely cannot wait, you should head over to Bestowed right now and sign up to start receiving monthly shipments (you can subscribe by the month or by the year).  If you'd like to sign up now, you can get $5 off of your subscription by using this code when you checkout: 5OFFBSTOWED01.
