Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers:
If you didn't get a chance to check out yesterday's post about helping rebuild Cephas' Hot Shop in Ybor City (Tampa), Florida - please take a moment to read it. (Thank you!)
Happy Saturday! I hope your weekend is going well. Mine is social event central- lots of fun activities with lots of amazing people! Even though it is Saturday, I am going to declare it Wednesday as in my "New Product Wednesday" blog posts where I review products that are new or new to me.
When I was in Virginia visiting "The First Lady of Lynchburg," I enviously noticed that she belonged to many "box of the month" subscription services. Boxes of goodies and fun products arriving on your doorstep every month? It's like Christmas every month! When I returned from Virginia, I started researching "box of the month" subscriptions and was shocked to learn that there are hundreds, maybe thousands even of these box subscriptions - socks of the month, fruit of the month, vacation of the month ... who knew? I was mesmerized by all the options!
My sister Squidge has relocated from Minneapolis to Chicago for a new job. I like Chicago a lot but I don't care for the cold, windy winters! However in support of Squidge's new move and new home city, I have sent her two "box of the month" subscriptions. One is the Japanese candy gift box Skoshbox; which I will review in a later blog post. The other is Naturebox where you pick 5 treats to have mailed to you each month.
Side Note: I'm thinking of starting a Kickstarter donation campaign to fund my new business "CatBox" - where for an annual fee, I'll send you pictures of some of my 1200 cats each month. Who could resist pictures like this?
After ordering a Skoshbox subscription for my sister, I decided my step-dad needed a subscription too. Then I thought the two little donut-loving stars of my 400th Blog Post also needed a monthly box of Japanese candy to share. I received the CUTEST picture of them extremely happy with their box of candy!
My sister received news of her NatureBox subscription first because a gift subscription notice is emailed to the recipient and they can then choose five products for their first NatureBox. Squidge was so excited by this gift and said there were so many good "natural" snack choices.
Well as much as I like giving gifts, I also like RECEIVING gifts - and in an impulsive mood, I ordered my own six month NatureBox subscription. (As if I need more snacks in the house!)
My first box arrived rather quickly and I enjoyed all of my items, but one of the snacks in particular has set off a new SNACK OBSESSION. It is NatureBox's Salt and Pepper Lentil Loops.
Now I must say I have been a fan of "all things in LOOP form" since I was a small child. (Check out my blog post on my recipe for Loopy Vodka cupcakes!) So call a snack food "Loops" and I am all over it. But LENTIL loops? Really? Could they be any good?
In a word: "Freaking YES!" These salt and pepper lentil loops are savory, spicy, tangy, crisp, crunchy and absolutely addictive! I've already selected the five items for my next month's NatureBox and they are ALL these darn tasty treats. Yes, five bags of lentil loops are headed my way in the next delivery. Each bag has three servings that are 130 calories. It is very difficult to stop eating these delicious, spicy loops o' lentil and potato. I'm going to have to hire a security guard to keep me away from my pantry once these delicious morsels arrive!
If you're looking for a good gift idea or a great snack source, check out NatureBox.com and these yum-a-licious lentil loops!
P.S. I was not compensated for this blog post. However, if you want me to get some freebies too, sign up for NatureBox at this link and I'll get referral credits!
