Before I had heart surgery in October 2024, a friend signed me up for a year of Calm Box. Here is my box for June.
it's called the Azure Box and it's all about meditation and relaxation.
The Quiet Wisdom pack is 30 pop-open cards for reflection and growth. I can see myself opening a card each day and using it as a guide for journaling.
I have never heard of a Stroopwafel, but I sure am excited to have it with a hot cup of coffee on the next rainy day we have in Raleigh, NC! I'll let y'all know when I do!
The magnet doesn't have a home yet, but I think it would made a perfect gift for my Air B&B host at the beach next month. What do you think?
The lavender, patchouli, chamomile room spray smells amazing. I wish I had it last weekend at the hotel I had to spend a night in last week. I'm so glad I brought candles with me!
Speaking of candles, this Forest Tranquility soy wax candle will be taking up residency in my bathroom. The sage and wood scent is perfect for a calming bubble bath.
Lastly, the ZenSand Meditation Timer has PINK SAND!!! It is exactly 5 minutes, so it's perfect for beginner meditators.

First, those 'Quiet Wisdom' cards have become a little ritual for me. Each morning, I draw one, like the one that once said, 'Trust life's timing.' It's such a simple yet profound way to start the day, setting a contemplative tone. They're perfect for guiding my journaling sessions or just offering a moment of reflection. It's a gentle nudge to pause and focus on personal growth, helping me to 'breathe. be still.' even before the day truly begins.
The 'ZenSand Meditation Timer' with its beautiful pink sand has been a game-changer for establishing a consistent meditation practice. As a beginner, five minutes feels completely achievable, making mindfulness less daunting. It helps me dedicate that specific time to simply sit and be present without worrying about the clock. It’s a tangible anchor for my daily mental check-ins, allowing me to truly focus on my breathing and inner calm.
Creating a calming atmosphere is key for relaxation. The 'Quietude Calming Room Spray' with its exquisite blend of lavender, patchouli, and chamomile is truly divine. A quick spritz transforms my space, especially before winding down in the evening or when I need a moment of peace during a hectic day. And paired with the 'Forest Tranquility' soy wax candle, with its rich wood sage scent, my nightly bubble bath has become an indulgent ritual. These scents genuinely help to clear my mind and promote a sense of peace, making my home feel like a true sanctuary for mental wellness.
Even the smaller items bring immense joy. That Daelmans Stroopwafel was absolutely delightful with my morning coffee – a perfect little treat to savor and a reminder to enjoy life's simple pleasures. And the 'Driftwood Dreams Magnet' on my fridge serves as a constant, gentle reminder to 'SLOW DOWN, BREATHE DEEP,' which is something I often forget in the hustle of daily life. It’s these thoughtful touches that make the Calm Box feel so special and effective.
For anyone considering a Calm Box subscription, I can honestly say it’s more than just a collection of items; it’s a curated experience designed to encourage self-care and mindfulness. Each month brings a thoughtful selection that genuinely supports a journey towards mental wellness. If you're looking for practical tools to reduce stress, cultivate calm, and make space for reflection in your busy life, this box provides a wonderful starting point. It’s particularly great for those who might struggle to find time for self-care or are looking for new ways to incorporate mindfulness. The quality of the products, from the thoughtful cards to the aromatic candle, really shines through, making it a valuable investment in your well-being and a delightful way to explore different facets of relaxation and personal growth.
