A few months ago Pijon Box had a sale where you could get a box for $1, so I took advantage and decided to try it out. Now Pijon Box is aimed at college students that live away from home. It's a bit like a a care package and it sends things to make college life a bit easier. This means sending things like healthy snacks, something to keep your spirits up, or many other things. As a parent or friend sending it you can choose a male box, female box, or a gender neutral box. They only ship during the months college would be in session (in the US) and it costs about $23 a month.
So i got the female box and to be honest I couldn't remember if i did until I got it. Since it was my first time getting the box I got the introductory box which was different from the regular box they sent. On top of that they have two different introductory boxes.
The box itself is simple but pretty cute. I'm not sure if you can see from the picture but it says on the side "Be good. Don't steal" which I hope would make someone feel guilty about stealing someone's box in a college dorm setting.
This is the first impression. You can't really tell much because if all the packing material but I was pretty excited.
I always like little info cards because I really enjoy reading what my box has in it. In the corner it also tells you whether you got a male, female, or neutral box. What it doesn't include though is prices so I won't be adding that either.
Plump for Joy Thickening Hair Lifter- So they added this hair product. You can use it on dry or wet hair after styling. I haven't used it yet but I do plan on using it soon. I just haven't had much time to do anything to my hair except pull it up with a clip.
Pura Naturals Sponge- This is pretty cool. It's supposed to me one of those soap infused sponges and it has walnut shells inside to help it clean. On top of that it's supposed to be super green and stay fresher much longer than your average sponge. Since I got the box two weeks before moving I haven't used it yet but I have very high hopes for this and plan to break it in the day we move.
Oatworks Oatmeal Beverage- So this drink is supposed to be the equivalent to two bowels of oatmeal. It's supposed to be very healthy and very energizing. To be honest when I first saw it I didn't have very high hopes for it seeing that I don't have very good experience with drinks like these. I wound up taking it to work with my lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. It was great and I can even see my self buying it on a regular basis.
Jimmy Bars- Again this is supposed to be a super healthy snack for college students on the go. It's made by a small company and they're gluten free, vegan, and have no artificial sugars added. I had really high hopes for this since I really like snack bars and banana nut muffins are my absolute favorite. Unfortunately it wasn't very great. I don't know if it was perhaps a texture thing or what but Jimmy bars just aren't for me.
Straws by Brush with Bamboo- Brush with bamboo is a green company that does a lot of stuff with bamboo and other natural biodegradable material. This was one of two items from them in the box. Now they are literally just straws made of bamboo. They're cute and seem like a great idea for someone who will maybe throw a party but they're something I personally just wouldn't need. I will try to find some kind of use for them though. On another note I wish they had some kind of packaging or at least a quick little care guide.
Toothbrush by Brush with Bamboo- This is the second item they included from Brush with Bamboo and this is a product that I'm pretty sure has been in a past box of theirs. I haven't used it yet but will get to it eventually. The toothbrush itself is made of (you guessed it) bamboo and all the packaging is made up of biodegradable material. Again it's not a particular item I care for but I wouldn't mind checking out what else the company has to offer.
Revolution Tea Sample Pack- This is one of my favorite things in the box because I really love flavored tea. It only brings three bags and the three flavors listed on the box. I haven't tried them yet but I am really excited to!
