BarkBox February Paradise Unleashed

I absolutely love spoiling my dogs in the best way I know how, and ever since I was introduced to BarkBox it has not only made it more fun for my furbabies, but for me as well. I can't wait and am just as excited as my dogs are when we get the box on our doorstep. This is not the first box that I will be reviewing, since my first was in January, and it was delightfully New York City themed. You see all of the goodies here on my instagram.

The best way I can share my experience BarkBox is by announcing its arrival and sitting on the floor with my dogs to have them get a good sniff. This being our second box, they were already amped and knew it was for them. I love peeling open the box to reveal the themed goodies inside. 

This month's theme is titled "Paradise Unleashed," a fitting theme since we could all use a little tropical getaway! What's great is the amount of detail and thought put into not only the box itself, but every item inside. Personally this makes my inner graphic designer scream with delight. It's more than just a couple of dog toys and treats put into a box, these are curated with every intention to surprise, amuse and please you and your dogs. Every box contains at least 2 toys, 2 treat bags and a chew. Inside are:

Food:

Cow-abunga- Beef Dog Treats

Beast Of The Feast- Pork & Apple Dog Treats 

Roasted Beef Tendon Chew

Toys:

So Cal Surfer Heggie

Penny the Pineapple

My dogs both went crazy for everything inside! I let them have the toys and watch them both take one from the other and try intensely to take out the squeakers. I had chosen the chewer box for more durable toys, and pretty much have to monitor when they do chew since they love to rip them open within a matter of minutes. However, it's taken several sessions for them to destroy the toys I get from BarkBox. I may invest in the Heavy Chewer box down the road, but as of right now this is working out great. Plus, I can always contact BarkBox about an item that didn't work out and they will replace it, free of charge!

I loved that we received the hedgehog, since my little Rylee's favorite toy is a destroyed hedgehog we got about 5 years ago. As expected, she immediately took to that toy. 

I love reading the dog treat bags while my dogs absolutely enjoy the contents inside! As far as the treats go, the little pigs from "Beast of the Feast" are adorable and make it fun to give to them! What I like most is that the treats are made in the USA and grain free, which is perfect for Miah's allergies. Overall, I'm still waiting for them to completely destroy the toys and can't wait till March's box arrives!

I cannot rave enough about BarkBox since 10% of all profits go to animal shelters, and you can find and reorder anything from toys to treats on their website. Interested? Sign up now and get the first month FREE on any multi-month plan! Click here to get started!

BarkBox February Paradise Unleashed

EarthKind Stay Away Prevention Repellents

Sometimes things just happen right when you need them to and I am so thankful for Social Nature to help my family and I out with some pesky problems that we have had this year.

I was able to try both EarthKind Stay Away
Botanical Moth Repellent
Botanical Rodent Repellent 

Botanical Moth Repellent
This is the first time ever using a moth repellent, since my house doesn’t currently have any issues with moths. Instead, I used the repellent at our vacation house up north, a place where moths and spiders are prevalent. I also picked up a more than one (free pouch) since I knew they would come in handy. The biggest problem area is the main bedroom on the first floor. 

EarthKind combines essential oils that smell great to us, but works to safely repel moths.The ingredients in the moth repellent are as listed, geranium, cedar and geraniol and smell amazing once unpackaged. I love that this a natural repellent, because I try to be chemical-free as possible. The pouches are a nice size and doesn’t inconvenient any space that you place them. Easily unwrap pouch from the clear plastic covering and place in problem areas. I used mine in drawers and in couple of corners of the room (dark areas).  

After a few months, I visited again and found that I haven’t had anymore issues with the moths coming back. It does say that the pouches only last 30-60 days so I will have to check back again to see if they are still working.


Botanical Rodent Repellent

Ever since we moved a couple of items that were stored in a barn into our garage we were having mice issues. They were getting into our items, ripping them apart, and we were afraid they might get in the house. This rodent repellent couldn’t have come at a better time! We did have to go to Lowes several times since they were sold out.

Once we were able to get our hands on it, we stocked up and I bought more than one pouch since it says 4 pouches for a single car garage, so we placed about 6 as recommend 8ft apart. The pouches right out of the box smell great since they are made with essential oils and other natural ingredients to safely repel rodents. 

The main areas we placed them were near entry ways into the house and garage door. It’s been about 3 weeks since we cleaned up everything, droppings and all, and we haven’t seen any new droppings or problem areas. So far, I think this has worked great to prevent the mice, and although this is a preventative I feel like the mice that were once in our garage are gone now. I absolutely love this product and would purchase more in the future if needed. I also hate mouse traps, or killing creatures if it can be avoided, and I think this is great way to prevent it.

Overall, the Stay Away pouches from EarthKind are effective, safe and affordable for any household. It has now become my go-to company for future for moth, spider or rodent issues.

Where to Buy?
You can find these and more at your Lowes by purchasing individually or buy in bulk online. However, in both cases I did have to go to Lowes a couple of times to get them since they were always sold out. I am sure that's not the case anymore because I was looking for them when they first came out on shelves.
