PetGiftBox: A Subscription Box for Your Four-Legged Friends! March Edition

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

PetGiftBox offers boxes for both dogs and cats.  They offer 3 dog boxes that cater to the size of your pup.  Our 2 boxer/pit mixes fall into the Hefty Hound category and they were super excited to receive their fun box of goodies! 

Our box was personalized with our dog's names and contained several treats and toys themed for March Madness.

Both dogs went crazy for the Muttz-rrr-ella dental chews and the Zuke's Power Bones($4).  I love that you get several full sized treats in this subscription box.

Shiner is our toy-loving dog and he is really enjoying the Pride Bites Sneaker($9.99) and the basketball squeaker toy($3.49).  Both have proven to be exceptionally durable.

We were also treated with a cute basketball cookie from Bubba Rose Biscuit Co($4.99), a liquid vitamin shot from Licks($1.70) and a soothing Fou-Stick Paw Balm($4.99).

The total value of this box is over $30 which way surpasses the monthly cost of only $17.99!

Get All-Natural Relief with Remedy Oils!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

Remedy Oils offers therapeutic oils that are 100% pure and professional quality,  These oils are extracted by non-toxic methods and are wild harvested or organically grown whenever possible.  Remedy offers a great line up of practical products that are safe for the whole family.

We reviewed two of these awesome products, the What's Hurting You? rub and the What's Bugging You? spray.

The What's Hurting You? rub is an essential oil analgesic gel that is great for sore muscles and lots more!  It is made with oils of cajeput, clove, fir needle, capsacin, and helichrysum with an aloe vera gel base and menthol crystals.  The instantly cooling relief of this awesome blend is great for rubbing on achy muscles, sports injuries and achy feet as well as rubbing into your temples when you have a headache.  It feels amazing!

The What's Bugging You? spray is an all-natural insect repellent.  It uses lemon eucalyptus oil as a non-toxic alternative to DEET and it smells great!  This oil combined with geranium, lavender, peppermint and rose geranium make up a lovely blend that works as great as it smells!  Living on the Texas coast and having several vegetable gardens means we have LOTS of mosquitoes from February to November.  I love having a non-toxic alternative to canned insect repellents that actually works!

Find both of these and more fantastic natural essential oil products at Remedy Oils!

Loved + Blessed: An Encouraging Faith-Based Subscription Service

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

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

Loved + Blessed is a Christian faith-based subscription box service that delivers a box of encouragement right to your door each month.

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 Provision.

The scripture card featured Matthew 6:31-33: "So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."

The special gift for March was a handy dandy bag organizer to remind you that God will always provide for your needs.

 I've reviewed quite a few subscription services, but I've never come across one that filled this niche.  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!

At just $10 per month you can get your Loved + Blessed box or gift someone else with this monthly dose of encouragement today!
