It’s been a while since I last chatted about Globein, right? After Globein sent me the Celebrate box, I ended up signing up for a subscription out of pocket. GlobeIn is a subscription and shopping platform that connects artisans from around the world in a fair way to consumers like us. I just received my Bathe Artisan box this morning and I wanted to share what I got with you.
Before jumping into what I received in my box, I wanted to share what currently comes in GlobeIn’s bathe artisan box. It has been quite a while since receiving my bathe artisan box and some things have changed. Here’s what you can get today:
- Pestemal Bath Towel from Turkey (Measurements: 66″ x 39″)
- Small Tigre Handwoven Basket from Mexico (Color: Random Measurements: Approximately 6″ D, 6″ H)
- Silk Face Scrub from Turkey (Measurements: 3″ x 2″)
- Turkish Hand Towel from Turkey (Measurements: 20″ x 30″)
- Organic Coconut Oil Wipes from Thailand (5 Count Pack)
First Impressions: GlobeIn Bathe Artisan Box
This month’s box is themed “Bathe.” Which I thought was really nice since I’m in the middle (well, kindof, more like towards the end) of a bathroom renovation so it’s nice to have some new bath goodies to check out and use.
When I opened the box I was happy to see the usual basket, this time in a kelly green. I already have an indigo, pink and fuschia one so the green was a nice switch. Not that I think I’d get tired of the colors I’d already received, they’re practical and I’m not off put by any particular color. But if you don’t like surprises with color like that, it’s worth noting that they are random. But if you get a color you don’t like, they make a great gift (you can always send it my way!).
I already knew to expect the towels and I’m not disappointed at all. Thankfully the colors I received are in the blue family so they’ll work seamlessly with our bathroom design. Just because you’re getting a handmade, fair trade, small business item doesn’t mean you’ll get skimped on size either. A few months ago I had bought turkish towels on Amazon and the towel that came in this Artisan box is the same size. It’s soft and classic as far as feel and look.
I’m not familiar with turkish hand towels. The hand towel is thicker than the body towel and the backside has the same texture as any other bath towel. The fringe is not braided, but still very pretty. And the towel overall is bigger than any cheapo hand towel I’d pick up from a department store. And it’s soft. That matters, too.
There were three more items in the box. A lotion, a bar of soap, and a silk face scrub.
All of the items were exciting, but the one I’m most excited about is the silk face scrub. It’s not a mask, nor a liquid scrub, nor a face wash. It’s a silk woven pouch that you put your fingers in and rub over your face. The most natural exfoliator ever, I’d say!
The bar of soap smells like lemongrass and black pepper. It’s not a sweet scent. I like it a lot. I haven’t tried it and I don’t think I will until after I finish my current Pacifica bar of soap. But the price is similar so if it works well I may very well switch over to support the small business. Update: Tried it and loved it. Have bought many items from the brand at this point. Their bubble bath is a repeat purchase here.
And finally the lotion is shea and red palm and the scent is mango citrus. It’s smells amazing. It doesn’t feel like it’ll be heavy enough for my poor moisture lacking skin but it smells so good, I bet it’ll make a fantastic hand lotion.
