It’s that time of year again - the time to share what we put into this quarter’s Mantra Box®.

If you’re new around here, a quick back story: Years ago, small companies were sending me health and wellness products that were so awesome. I loved them so much, but aside from sharing them on Instagram, I couldn’t really do much else to help them build awareness. I thought about the subscription boxes I loved - the ones I’d buy, not knowing what was inside, and how fun it was to order something I knew I’d like while also keeping a bit of mystery. I thought, “Why couldn’t I do something similar?” And that’s how Mantra Box® was born!

This quarter’s Mantra Box® is one of our biggest ever, with 10 new brands and 10 new products we are excited to share with you to support your health and wellness and encourage a little indulgence in life’s sweeter moments. With a combined value of over $100, and exclusive discounts for YBCers, you won’t want to miss out on the lat Mantra Box® of 2019. Read the stories of the businesses and their founders below, and watch the unveiling video to learn more about what you’ll receive when you order. Let us know what product you’re most excited about in the comments, and if you’d like to be surprised, pre-order next quarter’s Mantra Box®, which is themed Intentional Living. We cannot wait for you to see what’s inside! Thanks for shopping small!

Company: The Toasted Oat

Founder: Erika Boll

Why the company was started: Founder Erika Boll’s love of baking started when she was a little girl hanging out in her Grandmother Margaret’s kitchen. At the age of 33, Erika was diagnosed with Celiac disease & her avocation underwent a seismic shift. All those cookies . . . all those cakes . . . all those amazing baked goods she had learned to bake, & perfect, & love . . . all had to be completely recreated to be gluten-free or never be enjoyed again.

Since to Erika the latter option was, quite simply, unthinkable, she took to the kitchen & The Toasted Oat was born. Made from exceptional, real ingredients, every item is free of additives, free of anything artificial, & completely & totally free of gluten. Heritage recipes made modern is what The Toasted Oat is all about. Wholesome indulgence is not only encouraged, but actually good for you.

Company: Elemental Labs

Founder: Robb Wolf

Why the company was started: We created Elemental Labs to provide the best electrolyte drink mix. Ever. After struggling with my parents’ chronic health problems and my own GI issues for years, I found my path to health. But my low-carb ketogenic diet wasn’t giving me the energy to level up my fitness. My coaches kept telling me to get more electrolytes. I didn’t listen for over a year - until I did. And everything changed. I had more energy, slept better, and felt my brain functioning on new levels. But with the lack of healthy products on the market, I was forced to mix my own salty concoctions at home, which was a pain. So, I decided to do something. I teamed up with my coaches, Tyler Cartwright and Luis Villasenor from Ketogains, and my operating partner, Proton Enterprises and the result is LMNT Recharge—a tasty electrolyte drink mix with everything you need and nothing you don’t. LMNT has lots of salt with no sugar, fillers, or other junk. Our goal is to support and motivate people to make healthy choices for their optimum well-being. - Robb Wolf & the Elemental Labs Team

What the company does to give back: Elemental Labs "spreads the salt" by supporting multiple organizations and outreach events, including youth sports, first responders, military units and individual charity fundraisers.

Company: BeeConscious Co. Ltd - SuperBee is our brand

Founder: Antoinette Jackson

Why the company was started: Founder, Antoinette Jackson, was discussing the issue of plastic waste with her father, when he mentioned that her grandmother used to make beeswax wraps with beeswax from the family's hives on the farm in rural Australia. This sparked an idea in Antoinette, who took over her family kitchen, working hard, teaching herself how to make beeswax wraps and experimenting to find the best wax mixture. After perfecting the process, she started her own business, SuperBee, in 2016. Since then, SuperBee has gone from strength to strength, developing more ideas for breaking our dependency on single-use plastic.

What the company does to give back: SuperBee promotes women’s empowerment and employs locals from a rural village in Northern Thailand, paying them 20% above the Fair Trade Associations suggested living wage, and has family friendly working conditions and working hours. The SuperBee team regularly runs workshops at schools and local events, teaching people how to upcycle old textiles into their own handmade wax wraps. Staff at SuperBee are also encouraged to live the company’s values of reducing our reliance on single-use plastics, and are encouraged and supported in making more sustainable and environmentally conscious decisions in their daily lives.
