October Native Box Lifestyle Box 2015! ♥


Hey everyone!

I received my first Native Box today! I chose the Lifestyle box instead of the beauty box because:
a) Lifestyle box is monthly
b) I currently have WAY too many beauty products to try... and I like trying new food :K

Anyway, let's get on with it!




My picture is missing the crickets, because I didn't want to touch the container. So I kept it in the box and held it by the cardboard box and threw it all out. I'm a huge wuss, I know. :K

I did take a photo but I didn't want to upset anyone who was easily upset at photos of dead insects like me, so yeah. Take my word for it, if you don't like dead insects in any way, it's a pretty horrifying surprise...


1. Food for Health - Muesli Pod (in Coconut, Cacao and Chia flavour) $3.30 at Coles

2. Qi Teas - Organic Green Tea (Wellness) (25 tea bags) $5 at Woolworths

3. Power Super Foods - Organic Chocolate Lip Balm ~ $6 at PowerSuperFoods

4. Edible Bug Shop - Roasted Crickets (Chilli and Garlic) ~ 15USD at Edible Bug Shop

5. Wendy Christina - Kakada Plum and Coconut Cleansing Milk $25 at Wendy Christina

6. Alter Eco - Organic Dark Blackout Chocolate ~ $4 at Alter Eco

Total value? $59.30 


My thoughts:~

Paying $20 for this box is excellent, and even better for me because I paid 15 =)

Although it is very disappointing that the item second biggest in value is something that (in my opinion) is quite niche / wouldn't appeal to most people, the value of the rest of the box really makes up for it.

Organic foods really aren't cheap, so discovering options through a box like this is great I think!

I'm very excited to try the tea as well as the muesli, and I'm actually eating more of the chocolate now... my tastebuds are adjusting :P 

My unboxing as always:~



Thanks for reading guys!

Let me know what you thought about including "edible crickets" into this month's box? Am I overreacting?

  1. Let me just say I'm glad I got the August Native Box and not the October one! I would not be happy with the crickets either. Not only gross, but really weird too! (at least you got chocolate) :)

  2. I don't think I would have eaten the roasted crickets either! My son might have however. He tried all sorts of weird and unusual food items when we visited the night markets in China a couple of years ago!
