The Vegan Kind #2

The Vegan Kind's second box! As mentioned before TVK is a box of cruelty-free and vegan treats, for those living vegan lifestyles it's prefect, but it's also great for people like me who are vegetarian and who want a more ethical lifestyle.
 Quick note, my sister has a blog called vegan-meals and she helped me show the products from this week's box, so look out for her trying to show you her hair at every opportunity :p And check out her blog for some vegan recipes!
 The first thing I saw in my box were these mendill wipes, in lemon and orange. These towelettes have essential oils, and can be used like regular wet towels, as makeup wipes, or even left open in a  room to fill it with fragrance! I'm saving mine for when I'm out and about, I'm sure they'll come in very handy!

The second thing was this Greenfrog all purpose natural cleaner! I was really excited by this (loser!), because I've been looking for a good ecological bathroom cleaner. It's made from soap nuts (which may sound familiar from the previous box) and has added essential oils. The smell isn't like a cleaner at all, which unfortunately brought about a down side - it has a strong perfume/essential oils scent, which I can't use as it gives me a headache! Which is a shame, but my sister wants it so it's a win for her! This is really about personal preference, and I think most people would prefer this smell to their usual cleaner!

 This YAOH lipblam was a lovely treat, as like most of you I guess my lips are drying out this winter! I got a coconut flavour, which my boyfriend said smelled like actual coconut instead of weird and synthetic. It glides on your lips easily, so no carving it on like with some sticks of balm! I really want to try the strawberries and cream one next. If you got that one, let me know below!! :)
 An Arbonne protein bar was a welcome treat, as of course my mum's number one worry with me not eating meat is where I get all my protein from..!! Hopefully eating more things like this will put her mind at ease. I've yet to try it, but it's packed in my lunchbox ready for work tomorrow! Update: Oh dear, this wasn't very nice at all! It reminded me of a chewable vitamin my mum used to give me as a child. Sorry, Arbonne :(
 Dr. Bronner's baby mild magic soap (in fact all Dr. Bronner liquid soaps) are multi-purpose, for washing your body, teeth, kitchen, laundry, and more!! I use a ground up bar of this for my laundry and am really happy to get this as a back up for when that runs out. I think if you have sensitive skin and have trouble finding washing powder, you should give this a whirl - leave out the fabric softener and just put some in your wash. I'm pretty confident you'll see great results on your laundry and skin.
 MARSHMALLOWS!! These were amazing, tasting a bit like Flumps that I used to have when I was young. Me and my sister loved them, and I would really recommend them to those of you who miss marshmallows!! I'm going to get more to see how they toast!
Finally, a little snowflake :) I'm putting it on my tree!
