“Of-the-month” clubs have been around for decades, but in recent years, subscription boxes have really taken off as a trend that’s well, gone a little nuts. In fact, you can get everything from nuts to beauty products, household treats and eco-friendly goods, wine and even healthy fare in the form a fabulous monthly care package.
In fact, subscription boxes created just for people like you – natural living lovers, can help you truly embrace that back-to-nature lifestyle that’s good for Mother Earth and your health. These days, there are so many different options for healthy foods and eco-conscious beauty products, it can be hard to know which ones actually work, or taste good. Signing up for a subscription box or two (or three) can be a great way to discover fabulous new products.
To make it easier to find boxes with products that might just become your next favorites, we’ve compiled up these fantastic options for natural living lovers.
Nourish Beauty Box
The Nourish Beauty Box is a monthly, cruelty-free, ingredient-conscious subscription box for beauty enthusiasts, with free shipping worldwide. Each box contains 4 items, including 3 full size bio-natural beauty products and one limited-edition canvas tote bag. You’ll find products like Seraphine Botanicals’ Organic Kale Cream, a luxurious moisturizer made with pure kale oil. It helps to keep your skin hydrated and restore radiance. Kale contains lutein, a carotenoid that helps to protect against free radicals induced by UV rays, improve skin elasticity and prevent dehydration. The cream also includes antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, which further helps to protect against free radical damage that can lead to premature aging as well as to stimulate collagen production.
Other items have included lip tint, anti-wrinkle eye cream, and body oils. Each month gets its own unique tote design, which makes them really fun to collect too – they’re high quality and retail for almost $25. The total of all items in each box typically well exceeds the cost of the subscription of $34.95 per month.

Merkaela
The Merkaela Subscription Box features all-natural health and wellness products that are delivered on a quarterly basis, every three months. Each product is organic and chemical-free, aimed to provide a holistic approach to clearing the mind, body, and spirit. Free shipping is offered for all subscription deliveries in the U.S. The boxes are curated to a theme and the season. Products are almost all made in-house, although occasionally items are sent from high-quality collaborators.
Some of the items these boxes have included are Venus Mineral Bath, a blend of Epsom, Mediterranean, Hawaiian and dendritic salts that provide minerals, including magnesium (something that many are lacking in), along with an essential oil blend of frankincense, ylang-ylang, rose and pine that makes soaking in your bath a heavenly experience, while supporting healthy skin and providing spiritual grounding. The Venus Body Butter with organic shea butter, olive and coconut oils, vitamin E and an essential oil blend is incredibly luxurious and soothing. If you were to purchase products individually, they’d cost a lot more on the Merkaela website than the quarterly subscription price of $58. For an added bonus, members get 15% off the price of individual orders, if you see something you just have to have.

Rising Sun Snacks
The Rising Sun Snacks Subscription Box is a standout in that it’s created by two chefs which curate and handcraft themed snacks for you every month, all made with only non-GMO ingredients and never any artificial flavors or sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, trans fats and all that junk you don’t want. Each box contains five handmade snacks, and often times, you’ll have the chance to try items that aren’t normally sold in your region too.
Some of the favorite items have included the Organic Cacao Goji Energy Bites, a combination of dates, sunflower seeds, raisins, cacao powder, apricots, sesame seeds, coconut, goji powder and natural flavors. They’re an ideal snack to take out on the trail. We like the Dark Chocolate Tropical Fruits too, as they’re low in sugar, contain no sulfur, yet they taste like a jellied candy. Yum!
Shipping is free worldwide, so if you like tasty homemade snacks that are made from whole foods, this subscription is for you.

Easy Come Easy Grow Subscription Box
Gardeners will love the Easy Come Easy Grow Subscription Box – and, even if you aren’t into gardening, this might just be your ideal inspiration. After all, it doesn’t get fresher than growing your own herbs and vegetables. The stuff you find at the supermarket is often grown somewhere hundreds or even thousands of miles away, and by the time you get it, it’s not only lost some of its nutritional value, it’s lost a lot of its flavor.
If you subscribe to this box, every month you’ll get three different herb or vegetable seeds you can use to grow at home, along with customized grow cards to help you get started. You don’t even have to worry about what’s in season and what isn’t because that’s already taken care of. You’ll often find unique, fun seeds that will produce something different than your typical, everyday veggies too – and, it only costs $10 a month.
