Love with Food Box June

I have a serious addiction to subscription boxes.  Serious, ya’ll.  I have so many box reviews I need to do, but I’ve found that if I don’t do it immediately after receiving the box you can pretty much forget it. I will try to clear the backlog, but no guarantees.

First, you should know that I pay for each and every one of these subscriptions I have.  Nothing has been given to me for free and nobody influences my voice.

That being said, Love with Food was my first box ever.  One of the cheapest of all the boxes I receive, but the contents vary from really good to great to ummm…really?! For the most part it remains pretty ok for the price, but remember – as with everything else – you get what you pay for.

One of the things I like most about Love with Food is that I get to try snacks (sweet and savory) that I would never think to buy. There are a few I’ve purchased after trying them and others that I’ve thrown out – like the seaweed in the June box. I tried to like it – I really did! But it was so yucky.  The Fiance’ didn’t even want it and he will eat anything.

So, here’s the box:

lots of goodies in this box!

I gave The Fiance’ the plantain chips, fruit ice and that drink flavoring stuff.  Just not my thing.

I have had SoyJoy bars before and happen to think they’re pretty good, so I look forward to trying this one since it’s pineapple flavor.  Sounds good to me!

I’m also excited about the Do More Bars – this one is coconut and brown rice and I’m kinda saving it because i know I’m going to love it.

If you’re thinking about subscribing to a monthly box and you’re a foodie like me – Love with Food is a great choice to start with.  

Then & Now: Travel Edition

Then: My #1 requirement for a hotel (aside from being a Hilton property, of course) was that it had a bar so that I could meet a bunch of random people while drinking.

Now: My #1 hotel requirement is that it has room service so I can put the tray in my bed and watch tv while eating dinner.

Then: I spent hours reading reviews on Yelp to find restaurants in the places I was visiting. I never ate at chains. I ate a ton of good food.

Now: See item above about room service. I’ve also found myself sitting in a fucking Curbside Carryout space of a super chain. I eat a crap-ton of cardboard and over-salted food.

Then: I wore 4″ heels every day. Even in the airport.

Now: I’d much rather be in flip-flops and even own a pair of flats. Ick.

Then: I visited Starbucks 2-3 times a day and before even showering in the morning.

Now: I make cheap, crappy coffee in my hotel room. I also spend approximately $50/month less on coffee now.

Then: I hated my actual job. Only did it for the travel, which I loved.

Now: I hate my actual job. I love the perks (HHonors and Delta points, sometimes only working 2-4 hours/day.
