Just got the October French Box!
I adore this box, the packaging make it feel even more special.
I pulled the ribbon open on the box and it felt like I just kept pulling out item, after item, after item. It seemed to never end!
-
Recipes: They included three different recipes for Provencal Dips: Ancholade, Tapenade, and Aubergine Caviar. All look fairly simple to make and take only minutes to prepare!
-
Notebook: I saw on the French Box Facebook page that they would have an item with an illustration by a famous French designer, and I was happy to see it was Christian Lacroix! And I can always use another notebook!

Le Panier Francais Provence French Herbs Mix: This is a mixture of basil, savory, rosemary, thyme and marjoram. I know pretty much nothing about herbs, or cooking for that matter, but I’ll try them out!
-
Couleur Callison Callisons: I’ve never seen these, but apparently they are as famous as macarons in the South of France, according to the insert card. It’s kind of a gummy dried fruit candy (pardon my eloquent description).
-
Oshibori Refreshing Towels: This is a set of three cotton hand towels infused with green tea scent.
-
Matis: Powder Brush: I can always use a new powder brush and it seems like it’s something I can never bring myself to buy!
-
Durance Marseille Soap: This is the kind of thing I would typically throw in a draw and never use because I wanted to save it for a special occasion, but I’m determined to actually use this soap!
-
Atelier Cologne: This isn’t normally a scent I would go for but it smells very sophisticated and rich so I’m going to give it a try.
-
Sothy’s Pluie Scintillante (Sparkling Rain): This is super fine silver glitter to add to your eye shadow. Could be fun!
