Bestowed {A Subscription Box Review + Giveaway!}

#SPONSORED This post is sponsored by Bestowed. I received a free box in exchange for a review and hosting a giveaway. All opinions are my own. Post may contain affiliate links.

Hey y'all! Boy have I got a treat for you! I was recently asked to review a Bestowed box and I jumped at the chance! I love the idea behind a monthly box subscription, which is exactly what Bestowed is; each month your Bestowed box will come packed with 5 or more healthy nutrition or lifestyle products which are all hand picked by celebrity nutritionist and author Heather Bauer. I really like that fact that brands can't pay to be featured in the box; these items are chosen because of their quality. 



I'm always intrigued by all of the "healthier options" I see but I'm usually afraid to try them out. Often times the products are a bit costly and if I don't like them then I will have wasted my money! Because of this I usually opt out of buying new health food products. Bestowed is a great way to sample new products without forking over a lot of cash. 

Here are some of my favorites that came in my box:


I love olives but I was a little nervous to try these out because of the "habanero chilies." I like hot, but not too hot and I know habaneros are hot! I would have never bought these off of the store shelf, but because they were in my box I gave them a try. Guess what? FANTASTIC. They aren't really hot at all but they had amazing flavor. Also, for those who don't like the tart taste of green olives - these weren't that tart! At only 50 calories they made a great snack! 



The other product that I really loved were these Nektar Honey Crystals. I used to put honey in my tea all the time and I loved it so I gave it a go in my coffee. It was delicious and the best part? No sticky mess! 

While I loved everything in my Bestowed box, I also have to mention the huge bag of KIND Health Grains, Oats and Honey Clusters that we received. My #minime LOVES IT. She literally asks for it as a snack and she has eaten almost the entire bag over the last two weeks. It is really tasty. 

At just $19 a month (cheaper if you purchase annually) I think that Bestowed is a great value. Plus, if you use code 5OFFBSTOWED01 you can get $5 off your first box! If you aren't ready to make the leap to purchase a subscription you can win one free box right here! That's right, one lucky Charm + Sass reader will win their very own Bestowed box (one month!).  

Giveaway is open to U.S. readers only, per Bestowed. Enter below via the rafflecopter widget. GOOD LUCK!
