Hello everyone, its been a little while since I did a Sapphire Soul box review, so here ya go!
This month's theme was Gypsy Soul. I opted out of January and March because of my budget but I did receive February which I really liked. The theme was "what color is your love?" It featured some really nice products and a lot of the items felt so perfect for me at that point in time. For example, I received this Tiger's Eye animal totem- a cat. It looked JUST like my brothers cat. I looked up the meaning and it is a stone of protection, courage, confidence. How insane! My brother was leaving the next week for Afghanistan and my parents were leaving the next day to see him off!! It was so perfect, I was able to send him overseas with that little totem cat. I've loved all of her boxes since i found her last year. They are always packed full of amazing things, everything feels like it was intuitively picked just for me and I loved that special feeling I got when I would open my big white box!
Back in December Allison and her company started going through some big changes- different options, better system, different types of boxes. The boxes were supposed to not have themes anymore in 2016; she had talked about having the subscription boxes be more staple items that your soul needs, things to bring peace and grounding, etc. I was really looking forward to that since it seems I always run out of that kind of thing. That's another reason I skipped January and March- I wasn't drawn to the theme. They haven't switched over yet, still themed, so I will see how they change in the future towards being less themed.
Anyways, THIS month's theme was Gypsy Soul and it's also Sapphire Soul's birthday so I was really excited, I had really high expectations for this box because of all the excitement that was being built. But Ill be honest, I was a little let down. I got a beautiful package full of high price and high quality items, please don't get me wrong! Everyone likes different things though and I'm more the type who likes big boxes filled with lots of fun things rather than a small envelope filled with one or two very quality things. The items I got were wonderful and I'll use them all. But I also didn't feel the connection with it like I used to, I didn't feel like there was anything that was chosen just for me, no intuitive magic like in the past. That was a little disappointing since that's my favorite part.
Ok, so I get my box, which was a small, blue puff mailer this time. I open it up and start to explore what I got:

I received a cute little truth bomb which I LOVE, Truth Bombs are my favorite. I also got a sacred scroll with the quote "If you have good thoughts, they will shine out your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely" on it.
I got a few AMAZING, yummy smelling items; 2 oils and a spray: Allison collaborated with this wonderfully amazing lady, Neelu Kaur, who specializes in Ayuverdic healing. I've been chatting with her a bit and she is a GEM!! In my box there were two samples of Neelu's Ayuverdic oils and a coupon for future purchases. These oils smell divine and I will defiantly be buying more!
There was also a sample of Sapphire Soul's signature gem-infused herkimer diamond birthday blend (a mix of therapeutic grade essential oils + herkimer diamonds specifically designed for the divine connection!) As well as a small raw Herkimer diamond. They are a powerful healing and amplifying stone. They are double-terminated and only found in Herkimer, New York. Color can vary from crystal clear to smoky grey.

The last two things I received were this watercolor print from Jess Kay Designs and a coupon for future purchases as well as these beautiful, handmade brass and turquoise earrings from Jeri Warlick Design. I'm not normally a gold person but I ADORE these earrings and have gotten a TON of compliments on them. They are gorgeous!!
The earrings were worth almost twice the price of the box, so I understand why the box wasn't as big as it typically is.
All together, the cost of the items in the box is over $100 which is a great value for the $45 I paid for it.
All in all, it was a nice box and I really enjoyed some of the items. I missed the teas, the candles, the extra gem stones, the extra cards and the smudge sticks I have gotten in the past. I missed that positive, connection feeling I used to get, the feeling that every item was special and picked just for me.
I know the company is going through some growing pains and is working on BIG things coming up so I'm really hopeful and look forward to where she takes this company in the near future. I'm undecided about next month's box but we shall see.
I love the products she provides, the connections and affiliations and the message she is trying to portray through her company. I'm still so grateful to her for her efforts and the tribe she has built! I cant wait to see where this company goes <3
