Promising review: "My husband and I both enjoy items we receive every month from VeganCuts. I received a full-size item that was over three times what I’ve paid for the box, and yet there were even more goodies. I am able to use high-end, top quality items that last much longer than a month so I always am putting the best ingredients on my face. I get compliments on my skin almost weekly. My husband has enjoyed pistachio lotion, hair cleanser, soaps, scar cream, carrot lotion, and charcoal scrub — just to name a few. Very generous and the only box I want." —Rachel A.

The production value, the feel of being in an escape room, the amount of content, the labor that must go into creating each box...it is absolutely worth the cost.

I received so many products I love like a cowash that smells heavenly, lemongrass body oil which I love, this incredible candle that I use as a perfume — yes I do girl!

From the two boxes I've received, I know that I won't always want or need the supplies I get, but I also have friends that I can gift them to, so I don't mind."—Arlington

Promising review: "I've just moved back to the US from the Caribbean and am building my office plant collection, and this has been perfect. I received my second plant last week, and it's such a delight to unpack, plant, and enjoy! The box has been well packaged, the plants arrive healthy and happy. I love that everything to get the little creatures up and going is included — a cute pot, dirt, and a label. Plus they include an information and care sheet, a magnet, and a little candy. It's such a fun crate." —Saundra S.

What you get: You'll receive self-care products (such as tea, journals, candles, snacks, and more) to help you slow down and take some me time, and exercises for decreasing anxiety and stress while increasing positivity. Each month features a new theme, like improving sleep, decreasing anxiety and stress, increasing self-confidence, or developing more positive mindsets.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this box — by far my favorite sub box that I've tried. I subscribe to the Mind Wanderer mini and it never disappoints! This is a self-care box that is TRULY about caring for yourself (and the effort that entails). Each box/mini comes with a themed workbook to help you stay on track and really work on whatever the current theme is (fear and anxiety, happiness, self-love and compassion, etc.) along with an assortment of related items. I've received a few essential oil rollers, face masks, soaps, and occasionally a little notebook, cardholder, or something else. I buy this box for the workbooks, journal prompts, encouragement from Dr. Sarah and the online Facebook community. If you just want a box of stuff this is cute and you may still love it, but the real value and power lies in the CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) aspect of the box. Unmatched." —Jordyn T.
