It’s that time of the month again and the *January Period Box has kick started 2016 with such a lovely array of treats making it the perfect distraction from that unwanted monthly visitor. As always, the box arrives reliably on time and inside you can expect to see a variety of chic and premium treats, your monthly essentials and lots of love from the founders themselves who curate their boxes with so much care and attention. Not only does it take the chore out of buying your monthly pads or tampons but it cleverly also delivers a little happiness and cheer each month making that time of the month more bearable and hassle-free and the best bit…you also get to discover beauty, tea and foodie items along the way from both well-known and emerging brands!
Period Box is a premium UK monthly subscription service that bundles your choice of tampons and pads with hand-picked goodies and exquisite treats to cheer you up when you most need it. With every box you will receive a selection of premium teas, chocolates from artisan manufacturers, high-end beauty samples and an unique design gift or a beautiful art print by their featured artist of the month. Period Box literally takes care of everything and will ship your package five days before your period is due and no matter what your preferences are your box is completely bespoke to meet your needs both day and night.
1. Period Essentials (2-3 days cycle)
As always I go for the short flow customised package which is for a 2-3 days cycle that consists of a mixture of pads suitable for both day and night. Inside the box there’s 10 pads (mixture of day and night pads) with four liners too. Period Box caters for all types of flows and your preferences can be chosen when you curate your box.
For me personally the box always includes the perfect amount of pads and liners from Always, a brand that I trust and turn to and find them super comfortable, reliable and discreet.
2. Acorelle Youth Protector Day and Night Cream – Sample Size 5ml each
Made from a synergy of pollen and propolis that are both precious offerings from bees, this duo is ultra rich in natural anti-oxidants, namely polyphenols. Developed using a unique eco-extraction, oil based procedure, AOA is bioavailable and fights free radicals with its powerful anti-ageing action that naturally protects the skin from external aggresion, leaving it smooth & radiant.
3. Scottish Fine Soaps Orange Blossom & Verbena Shower Gel and Body Moisturiser – Travel Size 50ml each
I am far from being a morning person so if there’s something to wake me up quicker and start my day uplifted and rejuvenated then I’m interested in it! The vivid burst of orange blossom and verbena in this duo from Scottish Fine Soaps is fresh, cheerful, elevates the mood in an instant and leaves your skin moisturised and glowing, ready to face the day! All in all, these two great products turn a morning routine into a delightful pampering ritual.
4. Tea and Treats
Whatever your cup of tea, Period Box include a variety of unique tea’s from different companies, mainly sourced from brands I’ve not heard of before and this month features three tea sachets of Sensual Me Tea from the English Tea Shop, a wonderful union of organic Lemongrass, Hibiscus, Rooibos and Blackberry leaves that dance with organic Lavender, Liquorice and Cinnamon, to awaken your sensuality.
To keep your cravings in check this month’s box includes a sachet of Clipper Hot Chocolate and a Montezuma Milk Chocolate Mango, Lime and Chilli Centre bar.
5. Clean Slate Resolution List by Flipz
Last but not least a postcard sized new years resolution list designed by one of the founders of Period Box that I’ll be putting up on my fridge!
My Verdict
I love this month’s edition and again I’m really impressed with the amount of goodies inside, there’s a good amount to go through and a little bit of everything from snacks and tea to keep your cravings in check as well as a good selection of skin and body treats to nurture dull winter skin. The presentation and the wrapping as always is something which always gets full marks from me and I love that they don’t release any spoilers meaning it’s a complete surprise when it arrives. Whilst it’s lovely to receive a selection of pampering treats, the sanitary essentials ensure you’re covered right the way through without the last minute panic of rushing to a supermarket!
We all look for comfort and indulgence in the form of sweet offerings and pampering treats to get us through the cycle and this box hits all the right spots covering you for the first day to even the last day of your period whilst accommodating for all of the uncanny stuff that happens in between!
