Bulu Box March 2013 ~ Health Subscription Sample Box

About Bulu Box
"Bulu Box is the first vitamin, supplement and general health subscription sample box designed to help you feel your best. Every month, you'll get a box filled with 4 to 5 premium, curated samples from top brands."
These days subscription boxes are getting popular. I have seen subscription boxes for snacks, baby clothes, makeup goodies etc. When I first heard about Bulu Box, I wanted to try this.
Bulu Box is a subscription service for getting a sample box filled with 4-5 samples of health related products like vitamins, supplements, weight loss products etc. 

 I got Bulu Box for March as a purpose of doing review. This box contained total 4 samples and a $50 Gift card for iTrain

Dream Water: This helps in sleeping easily. It is basically a relaxation shot.As per manufacturer, it is all natural.

Aero Shot Energy: As per manufacturer,it is an air based shot of energy delivering a unique powered blend of B vitamins plus 100 mg of caffeine that starts working right away.  It costs $2.99 per shot.

QSpeed and At Ease PM:- Qspeed is for improving excercise performance and At Ease PM is for removing anxiety and tension. Both these came as sample pack having 1 capsule each.

 

iTrain Gift card-  iTrain website is for people who love doing fitness exercises. I could find many fitness videos like cardio dance, cardio power moves which I liked. Many videos are of 45 minutes duration and costs $8.99. I would be using this gift card to buy some videos for Cardio Dance exercises. 

What I liked:-

• I liked iTrain Gift card in this box. It is a good way to practice and learn exercises in comfort of your home.

What I didn't like: 

• All samples have disclaimer mentioning 'these statements have not been evaluated by FDA'. When I have to try any new health related product, then any such disclaimers scares me. I want health products statements to be approved by FDA.

I would be using iTrain Gift card. As no one in my house is suffering from any sleep or anxiety disorders, so we couldn't review these samples.

Dwarf Jade Indoor Bonsai Tree from The Soothing Company ~ Relax & Soothe the body and mind

 

"Soothing Company offers a wide range of high quality products that help relax and soothe the body and the mind. From water fountains to fire places to bean bags to relaxing art, Soothing Company offers items that will turn your home or office into your own peaceful sanctuary."

I love plants. I am not having garden in my house, but I love planting indoor plants. These plants not only make home beautiful but completely soothes mind.The Soothing Company gave me a chance to review their Dwarf Jade Indoor Bonsai Tree. I can not explain in words how much I love this small plant. I have nicknamed my Bonsai as Mr B:-)

I was bit concerned how this Bonsai will survive the transportation and shipping. It came in a big box packed so carefully that Bonsai was in good health. The soil tray was separately packed to avoid spilling of soil.

This Bonsai tree is really a sweet heart. It doesn't demand too much. It needs very little amount of water in every 5-7 days. I keep it in my living room where it can get sunlight.  When I read its manual, it was mentioned that when its location is changed, it may need sometime to adapt to new environment. In that process it can shed its 10% of its leaves. But it seems my Bonsai liked my house. It shed only 2-3 leaves.

I am observing this since 1 month and it is in good health. Its height is around 8"-10". I really liked the tray in which this bonsai is potted. It looks pretty in living room and adds liveliness. This Bonsai tree needs very little amount of water, so be careful while watering. It is best if some water holding tray can be put beneath it. This Bonsai tree is also considered as Money Tree. It brings prosperity to your house.

In a nutshell, I really love my Dwarf Jade Indoor Bonsai tree  aka 'Mr. B'. It is very low maintenance Bonsai tree which soothes your body and soul.It costs $45.00.The Soothing Company offers thousands of soothing products for your home and garden.   Everything from wall fountains to bonsai trees to a wall mounted fireplace. You can check all these products at their website.

Redweek.com Timeshare Rentals~Great for family vacation on a budget

About RedWeek.com: 
"A longtime fan of timeshare accommodations but reluctant buyer, RedWeek Founder Randy Conrads recognized the need for a reputable, do-it-yourself timeshare rental and resale marketplace. Determined to put a trustworthy face on an industry known for its slick salespitches and questionable scruples, Conrads embarked on a journey called RedWeek.com in 2002.Now a leader in the secondary marketplace, RedWeek is the largest, most reputable online timeshare marketplace with more than 1.5 million registered users"

I got a chance to review Redweek site for timeshare rentals. I was interested to learn about this site as I had never heard about timeshare rentals before.

What are Time share Rentals:- 
As per my understanding, in simple words it can be described as renting your own cottages, holiday homes to another travelers. This eliminates not only middleman but also saves lot of money and time. Lets take an example to understand this:-Person A has his holiday home in Florida, he wants to rent it out. Person B wants some holiday home in same location. Then if directly B can take home for rent from person A, then it will be a simple hassle free process. It means no middleman, no extra hunt, no wastage of money and benefit of both parties.
Person A (owner)---------No Middleman-------Person B(renter)

Redweek site is based on this Timeshare Rental concept. This site has registered members who can be either timeshare owners or normal travelers. You can either join it as a guest member or can avail its membership. If you are timeshare owner, you can post about your properties. If you are a traveler, you can search for all listed timeshares.

I searched for many holiday destinations on this Redweek site. I could see many offers which looked lucrative. But, most of the good offers which fit in my holiday destinations list are for 7 days or 10 days period. I have busy schedule these days, and can't afford to go for long holidays. I am planning to make use of Redweek Timeshare rentals during Christmas holidays.

I feel that this site is very good for timeshare owners as well as travelers who want some extended stay. Extended stay could be very expensive if you look for hotels. Timeshare rentals could be an affordable solution. I would love to see more timeshare rental postings on this site.

Optics Laboratory Eye Care Products Review- & Giveaway(Easter special)

"Optics Laboratory is a global healthcare company specializing in ophthalmic pharmaceuticals. We are experts in developing and manufacturing personal care products to maintain healthy vision and improve eye comfort."

I got an opportunity to review eye care products line from Optics Laboratory recently.

 

I have been suffering from dry eyelids and dry eyes problems since 1-2 months. It started this winter because of dry weather.I was searching for some good eye care products and by chance I got Optics Lab products to review.
I am using their Ocufresh Eye wash and Mini drops since 1-2 weeks and it is working really well.

OcuFresh Eye Wash: 
This is the first time I used some eye wash product. In past I have never washed my eyes other than normal water. OcuFresh Eye Wash pack contains 6 single usage bottles and a small cup. I liked their concept of single use bottles, as it helps in avoiding any kind of infection. It is very easy to use. Just fill given cup with liquid and wash your eyes. One bottle is sufficient to wash both eyes at one time. Initially I hesitated to use it, but later found it very easy to use.

This eye wash is really soothing. It is cold, refreshing and effectively cleanses eyes.I really liked this eye wash.
  
Mini Drops Lubricating Eye Drops:
Each pack of Mini Drops contains 30 sterile single use droppers.Single use droppers avoid cross-contamination from repeated use. Once opened dropper should be discarded. I put 2-3 drops in both eyes whenever I feel irritation or itching in eyes. It works well and reduces itching in my eyes. Only thing I could suggest for change is to make individual packet smaller in size to avoid wastage as at one time I was not able to use whole dropper content.

OcuSave Eye Vitamins
Each Ocusave pack contains 30 soft gels.As per manufacturers, these capsules contain powerful antioxidants for healthy vision. I have not used these vitamin capsules yet.I am planning to take these in some time.

In a nutshell, I liked Optics Lab eye care products. I liked their concept of single use droppers and packs. Single use packs are not only good for carrying but also good in avoiding cross-contamination. You can buy these products from pharmacy stores like Rite Aid, CVS,Walgreens etc.
