My husband and I love to travel and visit destinations. Once there, we like to get out and about to experience the culture, food, activities and sites that the destination has to offer.
We are pretty fortunate that we get to travel often but there are times that we can’t and there are definitely destinations that we will never been able to travel to. With that said, we found a great new service that allows you to sample food and items around the world.
Let me introduce you to Escape Monthly, a destination inspired monthly gift subscription that you can order for yourself or as a gift! How cool is that? Totally cool.
Every month there is a new destination that is featured and all of the products in the subscription boxes was carefully chosen to be a part of it. It is like a new vacation each & every month!
I received a box for review and this particular box is on the beautiful country of India. Inside my box I received the following items:
* A Travel Book – Taj Mahal Delhi & Jaipur
* A Bag of Chasi Masala Popcorn with Assam Tea
* A Jar of Kashmiri Curry Indian Summer Sauce
* A Pouch of Authentic Korma Simmer Sauce
* A Bottle of Organic Healthy Hair Oil from Banyan Botanicals
* A Jar of Authentic Ghee (simmer sauce)
* A Travel-Size Bar of Lavender Soap
* A Travel-Size Bottle of Amber Perfume Oil
* A Sample Vial of Vanilla Musk Perfume
* A Package of Bindi’s from Gouri Puja
* A Pamphlet on the Products
I am really happy that they included the pamphlet which gives you information on each of the products included in your box and how to use them and purchase them. It also gives you some facts on India like: India gained their independence from Great Britain back in 1947 and is the world’s largest democracy with 15% of the world’s total population.
How fun is that? Hubby and I love this! We get to try out products that we never would of been able to experience before! Personally, my favorites were the travel guide handbook and the Organic Healthy Hair Oil. He loved the Chai Masala Popcorn and my daughter took off with the Kashmiri Curry Simmer Sauce since her and her husband love cooking authentic Indian foods.
Overall, this is a fabulous gift subscription box! I appreciated that most of the products were full-sizes and not itty bitty samples. Don’t get me wrong, a few were but the important ones were full size which really allows you to sample them & fall in-love with them! With the holidays coming up, this would make a great gift for those who love to travel.

When I want to escape, I go soak in my tub. I think I was meant to be a mermaid, but was born a human instead. There is nothing more relaxing to me then a hot soak in my tub. Bubble baths makes it even more relaxing. It is my zen for sure. I love to travel, but I don’t find vacations to be relaxing. They are fun and exciting, but to relax and escape, you will find me in the tub.

Honestly I am not in any way promoting Tobacco use however I won a trip to Marlboro Ranch and this is the only place I ever want to go back to. Despite what many may think they dont force, encourage or even sell their products at the ranch. It is four days of relaxation, many adventures, great food, fantastic entertainment and fun free shopping. It was the most beautiful place I have ever seen right in the middle of Montana. Unfortunately the only way of getting in is to win=( I have also considered somewhere like Hawaii in the future because of the beautiful surroundings.
I’ve always dreamed of going to Christchurch. Well before those little elves appeared on the big screen. I must have seen a layout in National Geographic when I was about 10. The green hills running rampant w/ sheep, beautiful.

I have been fortunate to travel through most of North America, Central America, South America, and Europe, but one place I have always wanted to go is to Australia. I applied to a study abroad program in college but I couldn’t raise the funds to go, so I never made it. One day I plan on going, and the one thing I must do while there is snorkel/SCUBA dive along the Great Barrier Reef.
I would escape to Spain. Love all the history.
Somewhere sandy with a beach like Greece!!!
