Simply Earth | January Starter Box

Hello, hello everyone!

Happy 2020!

Here we are...the start of a new year...the start of a new decade!

So exciting!

You've heard me brag on Simply Earth oils for months now, right?

About how affordable and amazing the Simply Earth Recipe Box is, right?

Well, apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so...because Simply Earth is selling out of its current Recipe Box almost every single month!

So what does that mean for new subscribers?

Because Simply Earth is so fantastic...and because they don't want their new subscribers to have to wait to receive their first box...they have started shipping Starter Boxes to new subscribers who miss receiving the current month's Recipe Box...isn't that awesome?

I received one of the January Starter Boxes to review and let me tell you...the Starter Box is just as fantastic as the Simply Earth Recipe Boxes are!

I'm sure you're dying to see what's included in this fantastic box, but...I have a confession.

I was so stinking excited to open my box and start making my recipes that I didn't snap a photo of the box contents.

I know, I know...UGH!

But, don't worry! Here's a list of what you'll get in the January Starter Box:


  • 4 amazing 15ml oils
  • One 2 oz jar of Aloe Vera
  • 2 lip balm tubes
  • 1 spray bottle
  • labels for all of your oils & recipes
  • 6 recipe cards


Here are the oils that are included:


  • Frankincense:
Uses:
  • Assists in fighting germs
  • Reduces symptoms related to bronchitis and sinus congestion
  • Alleviates Swelling
  • Deodorizes
  • Clears the mind

  • Lemon:
Uses:
  • Energizes
  • Cleans naturally
  • Cools
  • Provides mental clarity

  • Tea Tree:
Uses:
  • Promotes healthy skin
  • Cleans naturally
  • Supports respiration
  • Supports confidence
  • Uplifts

  • Sleepy Blend
Created with a blend of Lavender, Grapefruit (one of my absolute favorites!), HoWood, & Bergamot

Uses:
  • Relaxes
  • Calms

And these are the recipes you'll be able to make using the cards included in your box...

  • Immunity Boost Hand Sanitizer
Can't we all use an immunity boost this time of year?

  • Detox Bath
  • Sleepy Roll On

I've been rolling this onto my wrists at night and it's such a lovely scent to fall asleep to.

  • Lemon Meringue Lip Balm
I don't have to tell you how much my lip balms mean to me...unless, of course, you want to hear about it (again)...and then I'm happy to tell you...




I just love the Simply Earth labels...the minimalist design is 100% awesome.

  • Fresh Air Diffuser Blend

I got a new family-room diffuser for Christmas, and this baby has been working overtime. This Fresh Air blend doesn't disappoint...

  • Toxin-free Surface Cleaner


Your box comes with everything you need (except vinegar & distilled water) to create a fresh-smelling, completely effective and chemical-free cleaner! So awesome! And it works perfectly!


I really can't tell you just how happy I've been with Simply Earth since I started working with them. And I love that they have introduced this Starter Box for subscribers who've missed the monthly Recipe Box...it's like getting all of the amazing with none of the waiting!

NOTE: If you subscribe while the monthly Recipe Box is still available, you will receive the regular month's Recipe Box - not the Starter Box


And honestly, for just $39/month with FREE SHIPPING, how can you go wrong?

$39 per month!

And don't forget the  Bonus Box you'll get FREE when you subscribe!






I could go on & on about how much I love these oils...and how much I love Simply Earth as a company - did you know they donate 13% of all of their profits to help end human trafficking? Read all about their cause HERE

That's right...$40 to use on whatever you want from the Simply Earth site!

This Bonus Box will give you **almost** everything you need to create your recipes until you receive your next one!)...and create a healthier home for you and your family.
