I recently came across the Blurt Foundation; an organisation that aims to increase the awareness and understanding of depression. They offer a number of resources and services, but the one that stood out for me was the Buddybox. Subscription boxes have gained popularity over the last few years, but they tend to focus on the beauty products which is something that doesn't really interest me. The Buddybox is designed for people who need to practice self-care, packed full of thoughtful, mood-lifting treats to make you feel good: helping you de-stress, find calm, feel pampered, relax, get creative, or simply have fun. It sounded like something I needed in my life. At £21.50 a box thought it might be a little steep for my budget, however I decided to order a one-off box and see if what came was worth the investment. Today my May Buddybox arrived. Although designed with depression in mind, the Buddybox is totally suitable for anyone who needs to invest in themselves or for you to send to a friend who might need a pick me up. Each box contains 5 full size products but the content of every box is a closely guarded secret and so all I knew about the May box was the Bee theme that Blurt had alluded too in their social media posts. Here are the 5 lovely items I received. |
