Bulu Box Review- Regular Box vs. Weight Loss Box and Promo Code



Bulu Box is a box that I look forward to each month, as I really like trying out new vitamin and supplement products before I buy them. This month I got both the regular Bulu Box and the weight loss Bulu Box.





What is Bulu Box?

If you have not heard of Bulu Box, well it is a perfect time to learn about how awesome this little orange box is. Bulu Box is a perfect way to find new supplements, vitamins, and health and weigh loss products that you may have not ever heard of before. Bulu Box also provides great tips and information to help to lead a healthy lifestyle.  Bulu Box has two different options;  you can pick the regular box or the weight loss box. Each month it cost only $10, and each box comes with an array of products that are just Awesome.



AUGUST WEIGHT LOSS BULU BOX



Kelapo Cocunut Oil




Was really excited to get a sample of coconut oil for cooking. My brother currently uses this when he cooks anything in a pan, like scrambled eggs, and he says it works better than regular oil, and is better for you.


Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal




Celsuis Negative Calorie Energy Drink



Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts


 Hemp Hearts are a great source of protein, and I have heard that they are really good, and get some great reviews if you search the web. I may have to add these on some yogurt or a salad.



Athletic Edge LV


I have tried these, and they are supposed to  suppress your appetite and also supports a positive attitude during the dieting, and the energy you need to get through the day. I usually take green tea pills for a source of energy and appetite control, these seem to have the same effect on me.



AUGUST REGULAR BULU BOX


Cocoa Via; and 



Power Bar Performance Energy Blend


Both the products, Cocoa Via and the PowerBar Blend, I have received in other boxes. The Cocoa Via I just have not tried yet, but it is supposed to be a good source of protein.

The PowerBar energy I have tried and it tastes like apple sauce mixed with other fruits. These are okay to keep around for an on the go snack.

Shapeology Burn Blend; and



Twin Labs Power Fuel


 I have tried on Shapeology Burn Blend before, and am really pleased with the results.  I really think that it helps the metabolism speed up, and while I am not 100% if I am burning more calories with this supplement, I can only hope so since it speeds up the metabolism. This is on my “To Buy” List already.

The Power Fuel is going in the pile for my fiance’ to try. This supplement is good to give your muscles the boost they need to keep going during workouts.


Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal; and



Daily Burn $30 Gift

The Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal, is like a meal replacement protein drink , and will be great in the mornings. I think these will be for me, since I do not think the other half will like the flavor we got. This came in both Bulu Boxes. 

This is a gift card for an internet workout library. I am currently doing TapoutXT2  program  but may use this afterward.


TICKLED PINK OPINION:         After receiving both Bulu Boxes, I am not sure which one I like more.  I think for this round I like the regular box better because it had the Shapeology Burn Blend, and that is one of my favorites from Bulu Box.  However, both Bulu Boxes provided great samples that I was happy with this go around. The only thing for the future that I would recommend Bulu Box improving on, is that I wish all samples were the same size as the Shapeology sample. It seems that a little sample like 2 supplement pills are not enough to actually tell if you want to buy it or not.

PROMO/COUPON:  Right now using Promo CodeBULUGAN131”, for new subscribers, Bulu Box is offering the following promotion:

3 Months for $15 (regularly $30)
6 Months for $30 (regularly $60)
12 Months for $60 (regularly $120)

This is a great health subscription box. If you would like to sign up for Bulu Box you can do so HERE.

Until next time

Health and Fitness Bulu Box Review and Promo Code



I am a very big fan of Bulu Box, and I have been so pleased with the products that I receive in each of my boxes, however, this month I must say, unfortunately, that I feel a little bummed about my box. I have seen some other boxes with some great stuff, including everything that I received in mine. I just have to wonder how Bulu picks boxes for people. Do not get me wrong, I still would say this is a great box to subscribe to, as I have had this box for 4 months now, and not until this box have I been a little disappointed.

After communicating with Bulu, and inquiring about why some boxes receive different, and more samples than others, Bulu Box was very responsive and gave great customer service. I can appreciate this about a company. Each Bulu Box contains about 4-5 premium vitamins and supplements every month. (I got about 7-8 samples in my first box) However, sometimes Bulu Box's brand partners sometimes cannot provide enough samples. So when this happens, Bulu has to choose certain boxes to receive one product over another. To help make sure Bulu gets enough samples in the future, Bulu encorages each Bulugans to fill out their . Sample Surveys.

That being said, here is my...

MAY BULU WEIGHT LOSS BOX


GYM PACT $5 GIFT


Gym Pact is an app that pays you money to meet your workout goals. For each day you work out you can earn money, and those who sign up but do not work out are the ones who are paying you. 

PROMAX FIT N CRISP 


This is a healthy version of the rice crispy treat. It was quite delicious, and a great treat. Nice substitute for anything high in sugar, when you are seeking some sugar. Each bar costs about $1.62.

FIXMIXER AMINO


A Fruit Punch supplement that when mixed with water and consumed healths optimize workouts- before, during and after. I am excited to try this mix as it is said to help muscles  reduce fatihue and improve muscle recovery. Since I am now in week 2 of Tapout Extreme Training, and feeling the burn in the muscles, I am hoping this will help. Each serving of Fixmixer Amino costs about $1.02.

JCORE Zero Lite


I really like the taste of this, and it definitely worked. This was made with Teavigo Green Tea. The benefits of this mix is to help increase your metabolism and fat breakdown, as well as help support heart and Cardiovascular health. This is on my to buy list. I was very impressed by my first sample of JCORE Zero Lite. Each serving cost $.44.

NEOCELL BEAUTY BURSTS


I was very excited to try these, as I am taking the Neocell Keratin and Collagen Beauty Builders right now as well. ( You can enter my NeoCell Giveaway HERE). Overall, I have been very impressed by NeoCell and after trying these beauty bursts not only taste great, but if they can help my skin, nails and hair too than count me in. Each chew $.26.

Kona Kase is A Keeper and Special Deal



I  have always liked to try new kinds of energy bars or health food. This doesn’t mean they taste great all the time,  but it is good to change things up once in awhile. If you too, are looking for some new energy bars, energy food, or just healthy snacks, well Kona Kase is a perfect.


This is my second Kona Kase, and I must say that I was even more impressed with the quantity and quality of items.

 April Kona Kase





ZING Chocolate Cocunut and Cashew Cranberry Orange


I have heard good things about the Zing bars before, but I had never tried them. I really like the coconut, so I gave the Chocolate Coconut one a try first , and it was just delicious. I have yet to try the Cashew Cranberry Orange, but if it was anything like its counterpart, I am sure it is tasty.







Rickland Orchard Greek Yogurt Bar
Greek yogurt seems to be the craze lately. And while I am not the biggest fan of any sort of yogurt, I thought I would give this bar a try since it was mixed with  Blueberry and Acai.  Since trying this bar I have been trying to find some at my local grocery store, as these bars were fantastic.   A great bar for a quick grab and go!

Power Bar Performance Energy Blend

This is like apple sauce/ baby food. While I understand it was made to give energy, and was made with real fruit, I could not get over the texture. Like I said, it was like baby food and so was the texture. I could taste all the fruit flavors though, and I think this would be great for a runner.



Trachealth Chia and Coconut
This Trachealth CHIA portable drink mix packet sounds great.  But what exactly is Chia Seeds I wondered?

Chia has been known to fuel the Tarahuma tribe on their 100 mile non-stop runs. It is also said that the Aztec warriors consumed one tablespoon of chia seeds before going to battle to sustain them all day. Unique ability to absorb over 10 times its weight in water to promote prolonged hydration and sustained energy, Excellent plant-based source of antioxidants, vitamins, proteins, amino acids and minerals for building efficient lean muscle. Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids. - Chia Website

Journey Bar Savory Sea Salt
I must admit,  I was not the biggest fan of this bar. I just did not like the salty taste, when the texture seemed like it should be sweet.  The good thing about this bar, however, it that it is low in sugar, so no sugar rush included!


Picky Bars


These bars are gluten free and dairy free energy bars.  I got to try the All In Almond Bar, and it was very good.  It was made out of Almond Butter and sweetened with Agave.  Almond butter is one of my favorites, so this was gone from my box quickly for a on the go lunch.


Soy Joy Strawberry Bar


I have tried these before after a run I did a couple months back, and they are very tasty.  The bars are also great on the waist line at only 130-140 calories.  It reminds me of a healthier Strawberry fig newton.

And last my FAVORITE

Barbara Llewellyn Brown Sugar Rosemary Cashews


I immediately started snacking on these right out of the box. These were the best part of the whole box.  And yes, they are very addicting.  I really can appreciate the mix of flavors in this cashew creation, it was great on the taste buds. I highly recommend them!

What I like most about Kona Kase,  not only that it was packed with the yummy Barbara Llewellen Cashews, but that they give so many options for so many different taste buds and varieties of diets.  I think that this box is so great because it caters to so many varieties of people as well.

If would like to see what is packed into other boxes you can HERE.  And if  you too would like to join the Kona Kase fun, you can get your first box 50% off HERE.

Until next time

Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday (a little late) Health and Fitness Bulu Box


My Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday was supposed to have posted last night, but there was some error on my part my not pushing publish. However, I still wanted to share with you my Tip Top Tidbits, however they will just have to be on this beautiful Wednesday, rather than Tuesday. 




I have been trying to give a little variety to my Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday,  however, there is just so much I want to share and not enough time to share it or blog it. You all know I love subscription boxes as well, yet, I also want everyone to know that sub boxes are not the only thing I like to post about. However, this Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday is focusing on a fitness and health box. But with summer just around the corner this box is perfect.



This Tuesday  I am going to share with you one of my favorite health and fitness boxes out there, Weight Loss Bulu Box. It is just one of those boxes, I just am so excited to get each month.  Not only do they have great products, but I have been equally impressed with there the people behind Bulu Box.  With Bulu Box weight loss box, lets hope that it helps to get in Tip Top shape for the swimsuit/bikini weather coming up.


Also, Stay tuned for a great Promo code, for a free code at the end of my post as well.

April Weight Loss Bulu Box



Stivii


This is a sweetener made out of all natural Stevia. This is so convenient,  and this month must be the month for no calorie sugar, because I have received about 3 different kind of sweeteners from other sub boxes. However, this one was by far the best.  The reason you ask, well it was travel sized and dispenses the little tablet of Stivii with the push of the button.  Perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle.

EBoost Natural Energy



I am very excited to try this out. I try to stick to calorie and sugar free energy drinks , but sometimes there are not very many options. Not only does EBoost give you energy, but it also as vitamins for healthy immune system.  That is so great, I could not ask for a better energy drink. I cannot wait to give this a try. So far the Bulu Box has not disappointed.  Have you tried EBoost Natural Energy yet?

Almased


As a women on- the-go, I am always looking for quick and fast meals. Almased sounds like it could be very good. It is made out of honey, soy and yogurt. Not too bad.  It is said to “ stimulate healthy, long-term weight loss”. I  am definetly looking for something that is quick, nourishes me, yet does not make me gain weight, but helps promote weight loss. I  am excited to give this a try.

Barre

At first taste I was not sure about this bar, but I did not judge right away. The taste kinda grows on you, and it really is quite good for a gluten free snack. What I like most about this bar is that it is made out of all natural ingredients, is only 200 calories, so it is perfect for a before workout snack.

ONNIT Shroon Tech Spot



These are a calorie burning energy supplement that helps give energy for working out, without the jitters or the crash.  I tend to be very tired after a long day at work, and the last thing that I have energy for is working out, so I love to try out new natural energy supplements., that can help. I cannot wait to try these out.

Last, I appreciate that Bulu also provides great reading material. This information is not only in the box, but also on the website. This month the pamphlet in the box was 5 tips for Weight Loss.  What I appreciate most about reading articles like that, is that, although I might know some of the information already, reading it again motivates me to actually take action  on what I have read. My goal from reading this  article is to start working out in the morning.  I will let you know how that progresses.




 You can try Bulu Box now, and get your first month free using Promo Code BULUGAN131, just go HERE for more information. And let me know what you think about Bulu Box. 

Until next time

A Look at Kona Kase


I was very interested in Kona Kase when I first heard of it. And why you ask? Because it gives people an opportunity to try out different snacks and nutritional samples that  help a body's endurance, stamina, energy, and more during and after physical activities.  If you read my blog here and there you know I am trying to become more physically in shape. So, I immediately  signed up! 


Usually, I tend to stay away from nutritional bars or foods that I am not familiar with for a couple reasons; 1) Because they may not be any good; and 2) The price. However,  Kona Kase did not disappoint. 

Here is my March Kona Kase



Although, many of the treats will probably end up going to my other half,   I think the product quality and the amount of samples , which most are full size, in the box far exceeded my expectations. 

My favorite part of the March Kase was...

Wild Friends Almond Butter


This company was featured on ABC TV Show, Shark Tank! This nut butter is unique, healthy, and delicious! I give it a 10!

If you would like to try some Wild Friends Almond Butter go to Wildfriendsfoods. Com, and use Promo Code KONAKASE to get 15% off your order.

TCHO Chocolate. 
(Yummy!!)

In the Kona Kase I received the following flavors, all of which were yummy!

1) SeriousMilk “CLASSIC” Milk Chocolate with caramel notes (my favorite);;
2) Pure Notes Dark Chololate extremely rich and “Chocolatey”; 
3) Pure Notes Dark Cholocate with subtle “Nutty” notes; and 
4) SeriousMilk “Cacao” Milk Chocolate with lush and fudgy notes.

 What I really like about this chocolate is they use great ingredients, and strive to base the flavor of the chocolate on the cacao beans they get. This chocolate is also Organic and Fair Trade.  

SUNCUPS


This is not your normal peanut buttercup or in this case Carmel Cup. These got devoured right out of the box.  What is great about these are that they are Nut-free and Gluten-Free. Suncups also are produced only from cacao from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. I am all about Rainforest protection.  They say Suncups is a great post-activity treat, but I think it is good any time J

If you would like to try you can subscribe with Kona Kase HERE or go to Suncups.com and use the PROMO Code KONA13 for 25% off.

CLIF SHOT BLOKS


I am a big fan of anything gummy, and this tasted just like a gummy bear. The Clif Shot Bloks are way better on the taste buds than downing a RedBull.  I received Cran-Fraz, and they were deliciously gummy. After just  one shot blok, it had already given me a good kick of energy.

CLIF BAR


I have tried all types of Clif Bars, but this one just brings me back. to when I was young. I would go to summer camp when I was younger, and all we would eat was granola bars.  This Clif Bar Granola Bar was natural tasting with just the right crunch that you look for in any granola bar.  Delish! This is a great snack on the way home,  right before a good workout, but not too much to stuff you full! I give this Clif Bar an A+.

EARNEST  EATS


This bar was like picking some berries, taking a handful of nuts and seeds and smothering it all together, in the best tasting way possible. The Dark Choco Mint was very good. This earnest eats bar is also wheat-free and vegan. What is also very interested about the Earnest Eats baked whole food bar is that in this particular bar the mint was grown by refugees (Rescue.org), up to $5,000 supports the International Rescue Committee, leading the refugees away from harm. 

Go to earnesteats.com if you would like more information.

PERFECT FOODS BAR


At only 100 calories per bar and made out of Almond butter, this was my other favorite from the Kona Kase.  If you like cookie dough, like I do, you will love the consistency of this bar. I can see why Runner’s World Magazine named this bar among their list of “Top 10 Best Recovery Bars for Runners”.   A very good addition to the Kona Kase!

BRUBAR


I must say I was not sure how much I was interested in tasting this one. The BRUBAR is made with Barley Malt, which is the key ingredient in many beers.  However, after reading the ingredients more in depth,  the Original Malt BRUBAR does not sound all that bad at all.  Other ingredients include: rolled oats, almonds, coconuts, vanilla and cinnamon. Sounds like an oatmeal breakfast all in one bar to me.

Overall, I give my first KONA KASE a standing ovation, and I am recommending it to many of my friends and family.  If you click HERE 
 you can get your first KONA KASE for only $7.50. Whoo- hoo. And please,  let me know what you think of Kona Kase as well!

Until next time
Stay Tickled Pink,
