2 – Stuff I’m Wanting –
Have you guys heard of these Goodness Me boxes?
Basically you choose your box – sign up, pay $25 a month (no contracts and you can cancel anytime) and then on the 1st of each month you will be sent 5-10 surprise health food goodies in your box delivered right to your door step each month.
According to their website, how it works is that for each box “A team of health practitioners sort through hundreds of natural food products and choose only the best. They seek food products that are always natural and GMO-free and which are two or more of the following: Organic, raw, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, sustainable or vegan.”
These boxes look amazing! There are a few different options to choose from but to be honest I would be happy with any and every one. I am totally adding this to my christmas wish list!
Which box would you choose?
