Bulu Box Weight Loss January 2016 Review

My first Bulu Box has arrived for the year 2016, and since the New Year is always a time that we start rethinking about our health and fitness. It is also a great time to start fresh and begin that workout routine or to start eating clean. Bulu Box is a monthly subscription box that delivers five sample size and sometimes full size items for only $10 a month. I used a coupon code that gives me $5 off every box for the rest of my life, so this box only costs me $5. That is a great deal, and how could I say no, really. 


Along with the samples, you get reward points for every item your review. These add up to cash that you can spend in their shop on full size items. You also get reward points for every box you purchase. So, while I only spent $5 on this box, I get $7.50 in reward points every month to spend in the shop. Also, each box comes with a description card that explains every sample and allows you to write down how they worked for you. This comes in helpful for when the time comes to cash in your points, because you can look back and see what you really liked and what worked well for you in the past. 


Toufayan Gluten Free Pita Chips in Sea Salts

$19.96 - 4 6 oz bags    ($1.04 Value)

I always think it is a little weird when I receive food in my weight loss subscription box, but as long as they are a low calorie snack, I guess that would be acceptable. This isn't necessarily a healthy or low calorie food choice, so I'm not to thrilled about that. Also, I don't really care for pita chips. They are too hard and flavorless to me. On the other hand, I do enjoy sea salt flavoring, because it is a healthier choice over regular salt. These are kinda a miss for me, but I will put them in the kitchen, and someone will eat them eventually. 



$52.99 - 2 lbs    ($1.71 Value)

I fell like every time they send over protein packs, they think that I am a huge body builder, but they are useful for me. I have been eating less meat recently, and I have noticed a big difference in my energy levels. I can only eat so many eggs. This protein powder is perfect mixed with milk since the flavor is Ice Cream Sandwich, and it did taste more like a desert than a health food. I know the purpose of this is to build muscle, which I am sure it did help, but I feel like the real reward was a burst of energy. I did like this product, but it is something that I just don't feel like I need. I can find protein in other places, and I don't really need to spend money on items like this. 


Everlast LEAN

$44.99 - 56 tablets    (Full Size!)

This in en entire bottle, you guys! And, it is the item that I am the most excited for. This not only increases your metabolism, but it also is packed full of caffeine and green tea, so it will get your body up and moving. I really enjoy these types of supplements, because I do eat healthy and workout almost daily, but sometimes I need a little push to really see weight fall off. Also, this is a full size item, so it not only increases the value of the box quite a bit, but it also allows me to really see if this product works. I have already noticed an increase in energy, but I have also noticed my metabolism killing it. It is nice to have this extra kick, and I am really enjoying this sample. This product alone was definitely worth the entire box. 



$10.99 - 2.5 oz    ($0.53 Value)

This item has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss, but I am perfectly fine with receiving it in this box. My skin always gets so dry this time of year, and sometimes my skin starts to crack. That achy and painful skin could restrict you from being mobile and getting in your daily workout, so healed skin is definitely the way to go. This did a great job at moisturizing and healing my heels, elbows, and the back of my arms. This helped take care of any irritation that I was feeling, and made it so I could jump back into my workout without being ginger or feeling pain. This is a great addition to this month's box, and it will also last quite a while. I probably won't purchase this full size item, but I will enjoy it while it lasts. 



$39.99 - 30 count    ($1.33 Value)

This is a pretty interesting product, and I absolutely love everything there is to do with caffeine and energy supplements. In order to use this, just throw it in your favorite drink or water and let it dissolve completely. I did actually like this flavor, and I am already used to throwing citrus in my water for flavoring. This is full of natural energy, and doesn't wire you up and crash when it's over. I really like this product, and could see myself purchasing more in the future. I think I'd have so much more energy to workout and complete my list of things to do if I had a stock of these. 


Health Logics BioCell Collagen

$39.95 - 120 capsules    ($0.67 Value)

I have already noticed my skin looking older in my late twenties, and that is even after eating well and taking care of myself. I do have early wrinkles and fine lines, so this could be a great product for me. I am not really sure if it worked, and I didn't notice any real change after using this sample, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. I really don't like small samples like these, when it doesn't really work until you use if for a while. Or, at least you can see it working. I like the idea of this supplement, so maybe I will purchase the full size bottle with my points. 



$13.98 - 20 packets    ($0.70 Value)

Every once in a while I have the hardest time falling asleep. I don't know if it is because of stress, anxiety, or that I'm just not tired, but I need to sleep. This Dream Water goes into a glass of water or a night smoothie and quickly shuts your body down to a long, restful sleep. Also, since it isn't a sleeping drug, you wake up refreshed instead of groggy. I didn't love the taste, and it wasn't the most pleasant thing to drink down. On the other hand, I did feel tired quickly after drinking this, and I went to bed shortly afterwards. I don't remember waking up often in the night, and in the morning I was restful. 


Overall, I am really happy with this box. I am really happy with all the samples except the pita chips, and the lean supplements are a big bonus. I will be able to see the effects from those, because I have an entire month's worth to try. The other samples were pretty small, but at least they were all items that I could use and pertained to me. This box has an estimated value of $50.27. That is a crazy amount for a $5 box. Plus, I will get $8.50 to spend in the shop once I review all the items. I am really happy with the items and with the value. I will definitely continue with this subscription.
