Loved + Blessed: A Christian Faith-Based Subscription Box March 2020


*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Loved+Blessed for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own.

We recently had the chance to review the March 2020 box from Loved + Blessed:


Loved+Blessed is a monthly membership and subscription care package for women who want to live life encouraged.

Each month subscribers receive:
-a box of encouragement
-a blog article
-a 4 week life application workbook
-4 video lessons
-online fellowship in our private community
-access to our membership library of past videos and workbooks

Let's take a look at this month's box:


Each box revolves around a central theme and comes with a mini poster, a sticker, a purse-sized scripture card and a gift.


The theme for the March box was Never Alone:


 The scripture card this month featured Psalm 68:5-6 
 "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
    is God in his holy dwelling.
 God sets the lonely in families,
    he leads out the prisoners with singing;
    but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land."





The special gifts for March were awesome!  A beautiful necklace:



As well as a gorgeous handkerchief:



I definitely think there is room for Loved + Blessed in the subscription box market and I love that their mission is to deliver encouraging products that support a fantastic message!

If that wasn't enough, Loved + Blessed gives a portion of the proceeds of each box sold to Union Rescue Mission, a charity that offers hope and healing to the homeless.  What an amazing cause!

They offer two subscription options.
-Month-to-Month for $25
-3 Month Prepaid $60 (this is a $15 savings)

Get your Loved+Blessed box and membership or gift someone else with this monthly dose of encouragement today!

Kilner Fermentation Jars Are Perfect for Countertop Fermentation Projects!


*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Kilner for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

We love making as much as possible fresh in our own kitchen so we were pretty excited when Kilner offered to send us a set of fermentation jars:


These fermentation jars make it easy to create delicious healthy fermented foods at home saving us money and keeping our taste buds (and our guts) happy😊


The Kilner® Set of 2 1 Litre Fermentation Jars provides the easy way to create smaller batches of your own delicious fermented foods packed with vitamins, minerals and probiotic cultures.

The jars have a silicone valve in the lid that releases the gas that builds up inside the jar during the fermentation process. However, the atmospheric air will not enter the jar so you don't have to worry about the food molding.


These jars are perfect for creating live cultures of sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles and much more and it couldn't be easier!  Creating your own fermented foods is straight forward, just add your favorite vegetables, water and salt and place on the counter.


We decided to make our first fermentation project sauerkraut.  We prepped our cabbage, topped it with a salt and water brine and sealed the jar.  


After a week, we started tasting it everyday until it reached our desired taste preference and by day 10, we were happy with the flavor.  It was delicious and so easy!

If you are looking to start fermenting your own healthy foods at home, this is the perfect starter kit!

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Hellimae's for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

Looking for a tasty treat to satisfy your sweet tooth?  Check out the decadent and rich caramels from Helliemae's!


Helliemae's whip up fresh batches of truly indulgent caramel bites and other caramel products as well.  They have a several great flavors to choose from.  We got to try the original Sea Salt Caramels as well as the Whiskey Love Bombs.


These bite-size nuggets of pure bliss melt in your mouth!  They are the perfect blend of sweet and salty.  Helliemae's makes all of their caramels in small batches with the best ingredients: cane sugar, butter, cream, fruit and spices. Then, they cut and wrap the caramels on equipment built in France in the 1950s, using compostable cellophane.


The result is smooth, creamy caramels that are a treat for your tastebuds!  The Whiskey Love Bombs are a bit darker and smokier...perfect for whiskey lovers with a sweet tooth! Made with Colorado whiskey, Louisiana open-kettle cane syrup, and Kentucky bourbon barrel-smoked sea salt, these Love Bombs were a hit with B, our resident whiskey lover.

Helliemae's caramels make great gifts and are a delicious way to treat yourself!  Check them out for their best selling flavors and new flavors that are added seasonally!
