When my box arrived I was overjoyed to find that the theme for the month was calm and cosy. Absolutely perfect for this time of year where we all want to hide away from the cold somewhere warm and chilled. That's exactly what this box is focused on, its the time of year to relax, and the contents will help you do just that.
The first item I pulled from within the depths of my box was a pizza slice. A chocolate one no less! Every monthly box includes a sweet treat, but a chocolate pizza slice isn't something I've ever come across, so of course I was excited to tuck in.
The creators of this delicious slice, The Gourmet Chocolate Pizza Company, are based in Nottingham. As you would guess from the name, they specialize in artisan pizza and other unique items made from chocolate. The chosen slice for our box was a 70% dark chocolate, topped with marshmallows and crispy balls. It's even suitable for vegans!
Next up in my box was the beautiful blanket scarf from MSH. With the change of season, its time to break out the warm coats and toasty scarfs, and what better way to do it than with a little sparkle? This neutral grey scarf has little touches of silver woven within the fabric that are subtle but very pretty.
Being so large there are multiple ways this scarf can be worn, and you could even drape it over you as a straight up blanket is you so chose. It's beautifully soft, and something I really enjoyed was that it had picked up the scent from the last item in the box.
My final item was the Skin and Tonic Calm Balm. Made from a blend of natural butters, oils, lavender and chamomile, this balm has a few uses. Not only is it designed to sooth dry and damaged skin, but the scent is also calming, to sooth the mind and assist with sleep.
I have to say, the scent is very relaxing, and is best used by applying to the wrists and temples to help get int a calmer mood. This balm couldn't have been better timed, because I start my new job next week and need all the help I can get to help me relax!
This box really hit the nail on the head for me and encompassed all the warm cosy feels that come with this time of year. As usual each item was well thought out and fit beautifully into the theme of the box. I can't wait to see what goodies we get in the November box!

Oh my lord this box sounds absolutely amazing! I really do love a good subscription box. I cancelled all the ones I had as I felt that they just weren't worth the money anymore or they didnt actually taylor products like they said they would, I once got a foundation for dark toned skin and blonde hair shampoo... like I'm olive skin and black hair.... total face palm! So to see a box that ticks all the boxes (excuse the pun) is really refreshing. The chocolate pizza sounds and looks dreamy, I wouldn't be able to contain myself so well done on the restraint for the photo lol I would have dived straight I haha The skin and tone calm balm sounds good, I'm going to look into that as I think it could be really useful to me at the mo, anything that helps my skin and sleep.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Moi-meme October box, I really think they have done great with the theme and you've been so thorough in your post.
