Loot Crate Power May Review!

It's that time of the month again! One of my favorite times of the month! Loot Crate time! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box that has everything geeky and gamey, this month's theme is "Power."

This crate included:

- Warcraft T-Shirt

- Dragon Ball Z Shenron Plush Keychain

- Infinity Gauntlet Oven Mitt

- Hulk Q-Fig

- Loot Crate Pin

I like being honest with you guys and I think you appreciate my honesty too, so I'm just going to tell it like it is. I was not a huge fan of this crate. I don't really know any of these fandoms at all. Not really into video games. The one thing I thought was cool was the Hulk because he's someone that I like but I'm not a huge fan of. (I've only seen the terrible Eric Bana Hulk movie) 

But that's what is so great about these crates, sure I may not be a fan of these items but I have friends that are all about superheroes and video game fandoms. I plan on giving them just as little gifts. I honestly like to bring them to open mics and just ask all my friends there and there's usually someone that's super stoked about them. 

Overall, Loot Crate is awesome, I love it because there's something for everyone. Even though I wasn't super into this crate I know next crate I'm going to be jazzed about something. Definitely check it out you won't be disappointed!

Loot Crate April Quest Review!

It's that time of the month again! One of my favorite times of the month! Loot Crate time! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box that has everything geeky and gamey, this month's theme is "Quest."

This crate included: 

- Vikings Drinking Horn with Strap

- Harry Potter Socks

- D20 Ice Mold

- Uncharted 4: Thief's End Poster

- Loot Pin

- Labyrinth Shirt

This was a really fun crate, though, I must say when I heard the theme was "quest" I was hoping for some Lord of the Rings swag. I mean when you think of quest how do you not think of the one ring quest, you know what I mean? Still this box was great. I was super excited for the Labyrinth shirt and am currently wearing it right now. It's one of those movies you love but sometimes forget about. I also love the colors, too.

The Harry Potter socks are also awesome, they're all the Horcruxes which I think is cool because the later books they did go on quests to find them and destroy them. Also, I love fun socks, they're one of my favorite things so I will wear all of the funky socks in the world.

The Viking drinking horn I was confused with at first because when you first see it you're like "okay...a viking horn" but then you realize it's a CUP and that makes it pretty awesome. I actually want to give it to my dad because he loved the football team the Vikings so he will probably get a kick out of it.

As for the poster and the dice mold, they were my least favorite. I'm not familiar with the poster and don't really have a 20 sided-dice, I'm not a gamer, but still they're pretty cool. 

Overall though, it was definitely a pretty solid crate, something for everyone. Either way, Loot Crate definitely doesn't disappoint.

Loot Crate February Dead Review!

Hey everyone! Man, it's already February, this year just started and it is already flying by so much. February is the month of love and...dead?! According to this month's Loot Crate is. Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box that has everything geeky and gamey, this month's theme though is "Dead!"

This crate's box consisted of:

The Walking Dead Big Head Figure Construction Set

The Walking Dead Soap on a Rope

Deadpool X-Force Variant Q-Fig Figure

Loot Crate Pin 

and...

- Deadpool Tacos?! T-Shirt

The big head construction kit was cool, I got Daryl, who everyone loves. But while constructing him on the couch I dropped one of his arms and lost it. I hope to find it one day, but it's so tiny and my couch is so dark purple and big...chances are who knows if I'll see it again. Kind of a bummer. Pro tip: Use a table when constructing these guys so you don't lose the pieces.

I'm a big Walking Dead fan AND I just watched Deadpool so I was all about this crate. The soap on a rope is hilarious and one of my favorite things ever. I don't think I'm going to use it just display it maybe in my bathroom to freak everyone out. 

The Deadpool figure was really cool too, I'm not well versed with the story of Deadpool so I don't know why he's white but cool. I plan on giving this to someone who loves the dude, I know a lot of my friends are really into it now that the movie is in theatres. The t-shirt is really great, I do love tacos a lot. 

Also, the pin. Loot Crate has been sending pins for a while now but recently they've been upping the ante with them. This one is a zombified crate, it's really creepy and cute. I definitely plan on saving this one

Overall, this was a great crate -- one of my favorites in recent memory. Loot Crate never disappoints. They make the perfect gifts for anyone or sign up yourself and give the items away as gifts or keep for yourself!

Loot Crate January Invasion Review!

It's that time of the month -- Loot Crate time! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. This month's theme is Invasion!

 This crate contained:
- Alien Facehugger Plush
- Alien Invaders Vinyl Figure
- "War of the Worlds" and "Day The Earth Stool Still" Mini Art Prints
- X-Files LED Flashlight
- X-Files The Day Has Come T-Shirt

I really enjoyed this crate. I like how it came out around the same time was the X-Files 6 episode event on FOX. I'm not even a huge fan of the X-Files -- I haven't seen every episode -- but I do enjoy them. I've seen a few standalone ones that are pretty good. The X-Files flashlight that Loot Crate added is very on brand for the show but also very practical so that people that aren't fans of the show can still use it.

The X-Files shirt is also really cool and subtle. Sure, the two people are definitely Mulder and Scully but to a fan of just aliens and the paranormal hey this could just be two people with aliens on it and they could rock the shirt too.

The Space Invaders vinyl figure is really cool especially for all you people with hardcore nostalgia. It's just a good little collectible. Just like the Fifth Element multi-pass. Except with the multi-pass you can wear it like a necklace or something, it's pretty cool. I haven't watched that movie in so long and now just seeing that multi-pass just makes me want to watch that movie all over again.

The prints are really cool, too. I'm more partial to the War of the Worlds one because I actually have the vinyl of the original Orson Welles recording. I actually haven't seen/read The Day The Earth Stood Still, I will one day because the print looks cool and I've heard about it. I definitely plan on hanging up the War of the Worlds one somewhere cool.

My favorite item though is the Alien Facehugger plush. I love how cute it looks because we all know how creepy and awful they are in the movie. My roommate is actually a big Alien fan and I plan on giving it to her though, I feel like she'll appreciate it more and also...she lives with me so I'll still get to see it. Win win.

Overall, this was a great crate -- one of my favorites in recent memory. Loot Crate never disappoints. They make the perfect gifts for anyone or sign up yourself and give the items away as gifts or keep for yourself!

Holiday Gift Guide: Loot Crate Galaxy Review!

That time of the month again a very special time of the month. Loot Crate TIME! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. But this time this month's theme is GALAXY. 

The Crate contained:

- Exclusive Star Wars Han Solo Vinyl Bobble Head

- Exclusive Galaxy Quest Authentic Prop Replica Patch

- Exclusive Star Wars BB-8 Socks

- Exclusive Halo 5 Ammo Tin Box

- Exclusive Ugly Holiday Sweater T-shirt

I LOVED this crate. I enjoyed how it came out the same time the new Star Wars film came out and I received it like within days of the release of the film. I haven't seen it yet because I've been so busy but I am DYINGGG to. I heard it is very good. My roommate is a die-hard Star Wars fan and I think I'm going to give the Han Solo bobble head to her. He was my first love (along with Macaulay Culkin) but this is older Han and she's a bigger fan so yeah. Keeping those socks though for sure, I am a sock lady.

Needless to say those two were my two favorite items and I loved the crate specifically for those items alone. I did watch Galaxy Quest a few years ago and enjoyed it so I liked the patch. Great to add onto jackets or bags. 

I'm familiar with the video game Halo but have never played the game but I know a few people that do so I'll probably hand this baby over to them. I did like the shirt and usually t-shirts are way better in California then sweaters but it's been so cold here I wish it was a sweater, haha. No but the idea is really clever, perfect for all of those ugly Christmas sweater parties too!

Overall, I really enjoyed this crate primarily because of the two Star Wars items. But I did like the variety of the other items -- how there was a t-shirt, a tin, etc. Loot Crate never disappoints. They make the perfect gifts for anyone or sign up yourself and give the items away as gifts or keep for yourself! Win win situation.

Holiday Gift Guide: Loot Crate "Combat" November Review!

That time of the month again a very special time of the month. Loot Crate TIME! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. But this time this month's theme is COMBAT.

This crate contained: 

- Exclusive Cute but Deadly Magnet Set

- Exclusive Fallout 4 Vault Boy Bobblehead

- Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 Pin
- Exclusive Street Fighter Comic Book
- Cute But Deadly Vinyl Figures

And...last but certainly not least...

- TMNT Shredder Sunglasses

I liked this crate but ESPECIALLY the Shredder sunglasses. Now I can do my Shredder impersonation all of the time ("Babies! They're Babies!" - Shredder in TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze). I plan on driving around town rocking these bad boys just to see if anyone thinks I'm crazy -- crazy awesome!

The rest of the Loot Crate was cool too. I have been hearing a lot of hubbub around Fallout 4 so while I am not a fan I know a few people that are and this will make a perfect little gift to give one of them. I'm not familiar with the Cute but Deadly guys either but they're pretty cute and make great little decor items to your fridge with the magnet and the figurine is great on your desk. The Hunger Games pin is great, I love The Hunger Games and will proudly wear it on a jacket or bag. I'm sad it's going to end soon.

Overall, I really enjoyed this crate. Loot Crate is great and makes an excellent gift -- whether you give someone a subscription or you subscribe yourself and end up giving some of the items away as little stocking stuffers or gifts -- it is pretty perfect. Definitely check it out you won't be disappointed!

Loot Crate October Time Review!

That time of the month again a very special TIME of the month. Loot Crate TIME! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. But this time this month's theme is actually TIME! I loved this crate and it is definitely one of my favorites in a while.

This crate was smaller in amount of stuff wise but because the products in this crate were huge and awesome. It's so funny how some of the best fandoms revolve around time and EXTREMELY funny that I received this ONE day before Back to the Future Part 2 day. What an awesome coincidence.

The Crate consisted of:

- Exclusive Back to the Future Dr. Emmett Brown Vinyl Figure

- Exclusive Back to the Future Part II Hoverboard Replica

- Exclusive Doctor Who Spork Utensil

And, the item I was most excited for...

- Exclusive Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure T-Shirt "Be Excellent To Each Other"

I am not lying when I say I put this shirt not the day I received it to wear it the whole day. Nobody complimented me because PEOPLE ARE CRAZY. But I loved it so, so much. I personally think Keanu Reeve's career peeked at Bill and Ted and may be one of the few that think that, but still. I LOVED Bogus Journey too. 

I'm a big Back to the Future fan too, just re-watched the series a few months ago. And I thought Doc Brown and the Hoverboard were so cute. I have a friend though who is a DIE HARD BTTF fan. She has like Marty Jr.'s entire outfit from the sequel -- jacket, shoes, EVERYTHING -- so I may actually end up giving these guys to her. Not because I don't love them -- because I do! -- but I know she'll love them more if that makes sense. I also just love surprising my friends with little gifts like this.

The Doctor Who spork was the only thing I didn't really understand but fortunately my roommate is a huge Whovian so she enjoys this. 

Overall, this crate was amazing, I loved it so much. Even the booklet had an "Outtatime" license plate poster and a Doctor Who -- which doctor poster on the other side. I definitely plan on hanging the license plate up in my room. Once again Loot Crate doesn't disappoint! Definitely check out Loot Crate, you won't be disappointed!

Loot Crate "Villains 2" August Review!

Hey everyone, it's Loot Crate time! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. This month's theme is "Villains 2."

This crate included:
- The Joker Wooden Figure
- Carnage 3D Mug
- Captain America Hydra Pin
- Los Pollos Hermanos apron

This was a really cool crate but also I'm not super into the fandoms. Though, this is an example of even though I'm not into the fandoms so much I still love the products. For instance, the apron I had no idea was a "Breaking Bad" reference but it's still a pretty cool apron and you always need an apron in the kitchen for baking and stuff.

The Carnage mug is insanely cool. I'm a fan of the Spider-Man movies but not a die hard or anything so I'm not familiar with Carnage, but it is still big and a really great collector piece. Similar to the Joker wooden figure, I love Joker and this is a really unique and awesome item.

Another fandom I'm not familiar too well is Captain America but I'm guessing Hydra are the bad guys. I think the pin is really cool and perfect for fans.

This crate is the perfect crate filled with items to give your friends, you know? Like I know a few Breaking Bad fans, a few Spider-Man fans, etc. So I definitely plan on giving these as gifts. That's what is great about these subscription boxes you can use them for yourself but also for early Christmas or birthday gifts for friends and family. Though I am not a huge fan of these items I am still really excited to give these to people that I know will LOVE the items.

Overall, this Loot Crate was awesome, one of my favorites in a while, definitely check out the subscription, you won't be disappointed!

Loot Crate July Heroes 2 Review!

Loot Crate is back this month! Loot Crate is pretty much one of my favorite, if not my favorite subscription box that I receive every month. Loot Crate has everything geeky and awesome. This month's theme is "Heroes 2."

This crate consisted of:

- Legend of Zelda Sweatband

- Wonder Woman Poster

- Batman Multi-Tool Keychain

- Star Trek Airfreshener

- TV Series Batman Q-Pop Figure

- The League of Regrettable Superheroes Book

I was a big fan of this crate it had such an awesome variety. I'm not a big superhero fan but the ones I am fans of I am HUGE fans. The main superhero though that I'm a fan of is Batman so, as you can tell, this crate was bomb.

My favorite thing was the Batman multi-tool keychain. This keychain is not only a bottle opener but also a flathead screwdriver and crosshead screwdriver. It also fits perfectly on your keychain with your house keys or whatever and, for a girl, seems like a really great think to hold in your hands to protect yourself when you're walking down a dark street at night.

I loved the little Q-Pop figure because I was a huge 60's Batman fan growing up. I don't plan on taking this little guy out of the box though, just want to keep it and cherish it forever. It does have a little sign it can hold that says "Ka-Pow!" though which is really cool.

I'm not a huge Wonder Woman fan but as a girl you have to at least like her a little even if you're somewhat unfamiliar with her. I love how they molded her into a Rosie the Riveter for heroes. I definitely plan on hanging this up in my room. I wasn't very excited about Batman vs Superman but now I am just to see my homegirl Wonder Woman.

Not a huge fan of Zelda, but have a few friends that are so I definitely plan on giving this wristband as a little gift to someone. Same with the Star Trek air freshener (I'm Team Star Wars).

Lastly, the book is very, very cool even for a non-comic fan. It tells of a bunch of comic book superheroes that you've probably never met because their "lives" didn't live very long. The strangest superheroes are included in here like Lady Satan and Bee Man. I definitely plan on reading this but I also plan on giving it to my Uncle when I'm done because he is OBSESSED with comics and would get a real kick out of this.

Overall, this Loot Crate was awesome, one of my favorites in a while, definitely check out the subscription, you won't be disappointed!

Loot Crate's June "Cyber" Review!

It's that time of the month again, Loot Crate time! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. This month's theme was "Cyber."

This crate consisted of:

Glow-in-the-dark Circuit Gadget Pouch

Terminator Genisys Brain Chip Keychain

Terminator Genisys Endo Skull Replica

Borderlands Zer0 Game Mat

Future Replicant Corporate Logo Patch

Nerd HQ Sticker Sheet

Battlestar Galactica Cylon Target Poster

And...

A Prime t-shirt

This was a really interesting crate. I liked that it incorporated the new Terminator movie coming out, that kind of made it super awesome and current. Unfortunately though, most of the fandoms in this crate I'm not big on. I do like the old Terminator movies, specifically the 2nd like mostly everyone, but kinda feel like they're killing the franchise by trying to reboot it over and over again. I don't really plan on seeing the new movie until maybe it's out on DVD or Netflix. 

I'm also not a big Transformers fan, I did like how it was like a Tron-themed Prime shirt but also...not into Tron. I feel like I do know a few friends who like both so I think this shirt would make a great gift.

The Battlestar Galactica poster I thought was cool, but also never watched the show. Kind of wish they had a little fake gun to go with the target poster so you could use it more. 

I did like the gadget pouch because it's great to put some small toiletries in when traveling or pencils if you're in school, still. 

I don't play any computer games so I wasn't really familiar with the game mat or the game on the mat. I also wasn't sure what the patch was from and when my roommate google'd it she said there was a reddit thing asking what it was because not many people knew what it's from.

Overall, while this wasn't my favorite Loot Crate it just shows you know you can't win them all. I can't remember the last Loot Crate I wasn't a huge fan of, so that says something, usually they're on the top of their game. I'm not saying they've lost their game with this one it just shows that there's so many different fandoms and they have to make everyone happy and into the crate. I'm sure a billion other people love it way more than me. Definitely check them out you won't be disappointed!

Loot Crate May "United" Review!

Hey everyone! Hope you're having an excellent Memorial Day weekend, can you believe May is almost over? Crazy how this year is flying by. With the end of the month heading our way that can only mean it is Loot Crate time! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. This month's theme was "Unite."

This crate contained:

- Bravest Warriors Comic

- Avengers: Age of Ultron Decal

- Team Fortress 2 Button Set

- Marvel Super Heroes Ice Tray

- Rick and Morty Puzzle

- MAD Magazine

- Marvel Sneaker Laces

Andddd....

- Exclusive Green Ranger Tee

I really liked the variety in this crate. It revolved around teams and duo's whether it is from comics, television shows, or blockbuster movies. 

I'm not super familiar with Bravest Warrior, Team Fortress 2, or Rick and Morty but I did love the variety of products, especially the Rick and Morty puzzle. I have been hearing a lot about that show recently and have to check it out. 

The t-shirt is pretty cool, I was all about the Power Rangers when I was younger but I was a red ranger fan for life. Jason forever! So when Tommy, the green ranger, came and stole his thunder I was not a fan. So Tommy is my least favorite Power Ranger, never forget you know man? 

I really thought the MAD magazine was cool and fun, I didn't know they still made them, it's super funny. The Avengers stuff is really cool, too. I haven't seen the new film yet but I know a lot of people that are huge fans. I plan on giving the decal to my Uncle because he is a diehard super hero fan. I think the Marvel ice cubes are super cool and something I never thought of before. They're really fun for parties or just for yourself. The laces are great, too because they're black and grey so they don't stand out too much but still look awesome.

Overall, I really enjoyed this Loot Crate, once again it doesn't disappoint. Definitely check them out you won't be disappointed!

Fantasy Loot Crate April 2015 Review!

It's one of my favorite times of the month again! Loot Crate time! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. This month's theme was "Fantasy." Honestly, I am kind of surprised that this theme hasn't been done before with them but hey I was sure happy that I received the crate that was themed this!

This crate contained:

- Harry Potter 9 3/4 Luggage Tag

- RPG Bow Tie

- Dungeons and Dragons T-Shirt

- The Princess Bride Playing Cards

- Game of Thrones Flash Drive

- Game of Thrones Magnet

And...last but not least...

An awesome blow-up crown!

This crate was a lot of fun. I have to be honest, I've never watched "Game of Thrones" and probably will never but, fortunately, my roommate is a big fan. So I gave her the magnets and now they're on our fridge. As for the flash drive though, I kept that because it is awesome. It's in the shape of a "Stark Sigil" which kind of looks like a wolf with feathers. It holds 4GB of memory too and just looks really cool. I never pass up the chance to keep a fun flash drive even if I'm not big into the fandom.

The Princess Bride cards are really fun. You can never go wrong with a deck of cards. It just kind of made me want to re-watch the movie since I haven't seen it in so long. Adding that to my to-do list.

The bow tie was my last favorite item just because I'm not sure I know of anyone that wears bow ties and would be into it. It's RPG themed so it looks like it has dice and dragons on it.

I was all about the Harry Potter luggage tag. I travel a lot so I'm definitely adding it onto my big bag. Also I love any and everything Harry Potter, so hey Loot Crate, just keep making Harry Potter stuff and I'll keep loving you even more than I already do. I still am bummed that I lost my Hogwarts letter in the mail when I was 11. 

The t-shirt is pretty cool. I'm not into Dungeons and Dragons at all and my roommate and I were at first confused as to what the shirt was. Once we read it in the little booklet that it was Dungeons and Dragons it made sense. It's a really cool logo. I don't know anyone that's a girl (because it's a girl's tee) that's into that fandom so I plan on using it as a workout shirt or bedtime shirt. It's pretty cool and looks awesome.

Lastly, the crown. Definitely one of the coolest and most unique items I have ever gotten in a Loot Crate box. I love it so much. It's now a top our television so we can wear it whenever. It only took like two big puffs to blow up too and so far, it's been a week, and the air is still in it. It's a bit tight on my fat head but you can release some air to make it easier to fit. It's so cool.

Overall, I really enjoyed this theme. Loot Crate never disappoints. Definitely check them out!

Loot Crate March 2015 Review!

This month's Loot Crate is pretty awesome. I feel like I say that for everyone but this one was just super clever and a fandom I haven't seen them really highlight. The theme is "Covert." The crate is filled with a bunch of spy-themed or undercover related fandoms. It was insanely cool. Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey.

The crate consisted of:

- An Exclusive Orphan Black Comic Book

- Special Agent Dossier Notebook - 2 Pack

- Replica Agents of Shield Lanyard

- Field Agent Blinky Time Wrist Watch

- Spy Mad Libs

- Paracord Survival Bracelet

And...

- Bond: This is Stirred T-shirt

I loved the variety in this box. Sure it had some Bond stuff because that's the first dude you think of when you think of spy but also other clever spies like Orphan Black. I am a huge Orphan Black fan, it's one of my favorite shows. I haven't read the comic book yet but definitely plan on it. I also like that they released this only a month or so before the release of the new Orphan Black season.

My other favorite item was the watch. I guess I am in the minority when I say I still wear watches. I also like digital ones, too. This one is great because it's blank but when you touch it the time pops up. Super cool. I'm a big fan, it's a little big for my wrist though which is a little bummer but I still can rock it.

The field notes are great, they're both just small and handy notebooks. I always keep a notebook with me in my purse and these are the perfect size so they won't weigh down my bag but also not too small where they'll get lost. 

The Mad Libs are super fun too. I don't remember the last time I played Mad Libs. My friend and I decided to bust it out though with this Loot Crate and it was really fun. Mad Libs is one of those games that never gets old no matter how old you get. Adding silly words to sentences just is always a win.

I've never seen the Agents of Shield but it's cool that they had this lanyard. I know a few friends that like the show and I plan on giving it to one of them. Also, fun fact, I have never seen a Bond movie but I did get the joke because it's just something you know he always says "Shaken -- not stirred." I plan on giving this shirt to one of my friends, too.

Overall though this box killed, definitely plan on cracking into the comic book tonight. Definitely check out Loot Crate, with the great variety in each crate, you won't be disappointed!

Tasteguru Subscription Box Review!

Subscription boxes are all they rage. They have something for everyone and I am a big fan of a lot of them. The one I am a new fan of? Tasteguru. Tasteguru is a monthly subscription box that as all gluten free delicious goodies. With such variety, there's so much snacks to love.

In this box I received:

Better Batter Fudge Brownie Mix

Tea'sTea Green Tea

Level Life Protein Snack Bar

Dang Coconut Chips

Mamma Chia Squeeze

Yum Earth Naturals Sour Beans

IPS Egg White Chips

Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread

Swoffle Traditional Dutch Treat

This box was jam-packed! I loved that they had a gluten free brownie mix because my cousin is gluten-free and it can be quite a task finding gluten-free baking things to make her when I go down to visit. The brownies are just as delicious as gluten-filled brownies. Also this Better Batter also helps provide clean water in developing countries, support autism advocacy, hunger relief and more.

The green tea is great and a delicious on the go beverage when you're in a hurry. It has zero calories and provides 260% of the daily value of vitamin C. It's also a powerful source of antioxidants.

The snack bar is caramel chocolately peanut and tastes delicious. It reduces carbs and kills your sweet tooth craving. It's a great protein bar to have after a workout. 

The coconut chips are also great. I'm a huge coconut fan so I'll eat coconut anything, pretty much. It's also vegan, a good source of fiber, non-gmo, and no cholesterol. They're great to snack on during a flight, which is what I did, but after research you can also add them to ice cream and froyo, too!

I've had the egg white chips before, these are salt and pepper flavored. They have a nice kick to them. They're made with egg white protein and made with 6 grams of protein per serving and half the fat of fried chips. They're also made with non-gmo corn.  

The Mamma Chia Squeeze provide vitality, energy, and strength. I received Green Magic combines tasty Bananas and Mangoes with Kale, Spirulina and Chlorella. It's a great on-the-go juice to give you a nice healthy kick midday. They're a good source of fiber, vegan, contain 1200 mg's of Omega 3's, and BPA Free. 

The Swoffle Traditional Dutch treat was one of my favorites because I obsessed over these when I was in the Netherlands. They tasted just as good. It's a caramel-filled waffle cookie but still gluten free! It's a stroopwafel but with organic gluten free flour and organic sugars.

I haven't tried the sour beans yet because I'm not a big jellybean fan so that was the only item I didn't like, but I'll give it away to someone who will enjoy it. I also haven't had a chance to try the hazelnut spread because I don't have any bread at the moment but that's on my to-do list.

Overall, I was extremely happy with this box, it was delicious and I definitely recommend it even to people who aren't gluten free. They also give away a free box a month there is always a contest live at www.tasteguru.com/contest.

Loot Crate February 2015 Review!

Hey everyone, I'm a little late to the game but this past month's Loot Crate was pretty awesome. I mean, I'm only like 3 days late so it's not too bad. Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. February's theme ways Play!

The items in the crate are:
- DIY Munny figure
- Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
- Superfight's Loot Crate Deck card game
- Rock - Paper - Scissors dice game
- Hexbug
- Waka-Waka (Pac man) Poster

I really enjoyed this crate, it had a variety of everything and just like a bunch of fun items.

First off, reading! Reading can be super fun especially with Ready Player One. I actually have this book (now I have 2) and I really enjoyed reading it. It takes place in the dystopian future where we do everything via computers, or, as they call it, the Oasis. The creator of the Oasis allegedly has some buried treasure hidden in the system. Some people believe it is a myth and some people feel it actually exists. Without giving much else away, we follow the lead character on the hunt for this treasure. Fun fact, it is going to be made into a movie, and I'm looking forward to that.

Next up, the Munny, this looks really awesome and a really fun type of gift to give your artsy friend if you yourself isn't the best artist (aka me). This is my plan. Don't get me wrong, this looks awesome, but I'm a weird perfectionist and will feel like if I draw anything on it I'll mess it up. So yeah, it'll be a fun gift for my friend.

I really enjoyed the Pac Man poster just because who doesn't enjoy that game? Speaking of games, the Superfight card game is awesome. I haven't played it yet but it looks like a blast. Player one takes one white card (characters) and one black card (attributes) and Player two does the same. Each player grabs another black card to add it to their fighter. Then each player pleads it's case as to why their choice would win in the fight and the table votes. The blue and purple cards are scenarios you can draw one, both or none during a fight. Seems like a pretty fun group game.

They also put in the rock-paper-scissors dice game which is basically the hand game but in dice form. You can carry them around in this cool bag, too.

Lastly, the Hexbug I feel was the only non-game related item but I mean you do play with it so that's probably why they tossed it in. You can make it walk across the floor and roll over to freak out your friends or roommates. It works better on hard floors, it kind of got stuck in the carpet. Also, you have to put it on it's back for it to flip right-side up. It is a pretty awesome and fun little gadget I can definitely see myself having fun with.

Loot Crate July Review: Villains!

It's that loot time of the month! Guys my Loot Crate just came in yesterday and I am so pumped to tell you all about it. In case you're unaware or a new reader first off, welcome! Second off, Loot Crate is a great monthly subscription box that sends all things geek and gamer related. This month the theme was Villains!

The box included: 

Exclusive Rocket Raccoon Comic

Harley Quinn and Joker Posters

Deadpool Socks

Darth Vader Key Chain

Necessary Evil DVD

Bowser Magnet

Joki T-shirt

You guys, I loved this box. Not because I am a huge fan of villains but these particular villains I am a huge fan of. A few of my favorites in the box though were the mini things like I LOVED the Darth Vader keychain and the Bowser "I Want You" magnet. Just such simple little things but I will definitely use them.

I actually didn't know what the socks were at first, I thought they were Spider-Man ones and was super confused because he's a superhero but then read the booklet and yup, it's Deadpool. I really loved the socks though because I am a sock person and have a variety of kinds including dinosaur ones. Word on the street is they are making a Deadpool movie starring Ryan Reynolds so hey I will probably be a fan of that might as well rock these socks early.

I also liked the two posters especially the creeptastic Joker one. I think they're the perfect size for lockers (not to push that school is coming up, we're still on summer vacation!) but keep that in mind. And who knows you may have a locker for work or something. The Rocket Raccoon comic looks awesome, too. As I said in my previous Loot Crate review I am pretty pumped for the Guardians of the Galaxy so I will probably be reading this comic in the near future. Also the DVD sounds super interesting, it is a documentary narrated by another villain Christopher Lee (Saruman) and it explores the villains of the DC universe.

Lastly, the t-shirt it took me a minute or two to get but then when I did I had a great laugh. It's a Joker and Loki combo! So clever especially because they're the most in-demand villains right now. Super clever way to merge two randoms into one awesome shirt.

This Loot Crate was awesome because it was highlighting the villains but also the anti-heroes like  Deadpool and Rocket Raccoon. Also I loved the variety of products in this box from a DVD to a t-shirt to posters, they've got so much goodies man! Once again Loot Crate definitely does not disappoint, check them out you won't be disappointed!
