Introducing Nyambi Naturals: The Unboxing

I’ve been busy this past week, and while there haven’t been any breakthroughs — or breakdowns — with my hair, I’ve decided to give some space on this here #hairbeautybuzz blog to, er, beauty.

Last week, I received a box that was relatively normal until I opened it. Immediately, upon peeling the cardboard flaps back, I knew I had something special. Here’s something you should know about me: I’m all about ambiance and presentation. Whether it’s food, lounges, music, whatever. In order to get my attention, you have to start with the right look and feel. After folding those brown flaps back, an aroma comprised of honey, vanilla, grapefruit and other scents wafted up and enveloped me, inviting me to dig further. Mind you, I hadn’t opened anything but the box. Staring back at me was this:

The presentation lets you know you're in for a treat.

This beautiful burlap bag from Nyambi Naturals held all kinds of goods and treats that I’m always in the mood to enjoy. After seizing the moment and snapping that picture, I quickly cut the tag off and opened it to inspect my goodies: Chamomile Soap, Honey Vanilla Souffle, Spring Garden Sugar Scrub and more. So. Much. More.

There was so much in the $50.00 bag of treats that I’m going to share some of it. I won’t give my review now because it would be based on merely the superb delivery and presentation, but for those categories, Nyambi Naturals gets 5-stars from me. Plus the value is never-ending. At first, I thought the products were delivered in a bag, but no. It’s a planter! See the philosophy that Nyambi Naturals is built on is about sustainable, all-natural, organic ingredients. Nyambi actually grows some of the ingredients herself, but all are gleaned from healthy, non-chemical sources. As an added feature, with this purchase, she encourages her customers to grow something of their own.

You can expect to hear more from me about Nyambi Naturals as I experience the products in all their luxuriating glory. Here’s a quick look at some of my treats in this delivery.

I already have 30—yes, THIRTY—basil plants growing on my balcony, which is a story for another day and a different blog. So, I think I’m going to try and grow some lavender in my planter, but I’m open to suggestions.

What do you think I should grow in my Nyambi Naturals’ planter?
