New! Naked Nutrition Clear Naked Whey Review and Coupon

I've been using the Naked Nutrition Whey since I reviewed it back in July (read that review here) and I love it. Now Naked Nutrition has a new supplement, the Clear Naked Whey and it's just as great!

*Disclaimer: This product was sent to See, Shop, Love, in exchange for an honest review.


Naked Nutrition sells products with only the purest ingredients to help you meet your nutrition and fitness goals. Their supplements have no artificial sweeteners, no additives, and no artificial colors. They also have vegan protein powders.

Their newest product is the Clear Naked Whey, which is available in three flavors: Grape, Lemonade, and Fruit Punch. I received the Lemonade to try.


The Clear Naked Whey is made with 100 percent whey isolate powder and lightly flavored to create a refreshing beverage to help support muscle building and repair. Again, it has no artificial sweeteners or flavoring. Two scoops contain 80 calories, zero fat, four grams of carbohydrates, and 15 grams of protein.

I like having a fruity-flavored protein powder and a creamier flavor, like chocolate, so having this Lemonade fits perfectly with my Naked Nutrition Chocolate Whey. 

I added this to my fruit smoothie and it added a tangy, delicious flavor -- there's no strange after taste or texture like some whey powders have. Given that it's whey, it also made my smoothie slightly more creamy than usual, which I like. It's almost the same texture as when I add yogurt with the frozen fruit.

Bottom Line: I'm very happy with the Naked Nutrition Clear Naked Whey! The Lemonade flavor tastes great in a smoothie and on its own (mixed with water). I especially like that it's low-carb and high protein!

Bespoke Post: Wax Review and $20 Coupon

I hadn't purchased a Bespoke Post box in a while because, while they always have great offerings, nothing caught my eye as a "must have." That is, until the September selections came out and I saw the "Wax" box!

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! Post contains referral links.


Bespoke Post is a monthly lifestyle subscription that has boxes for all types of interests. Check out my feature on My Subscription Addiction here for more information on how the subscription works and why I love it!

I don't usually purchase a box every month but I do grab whatever ones pique my interest. The Wax box was perfect for me and I couldn't wait to receive it! It features the new Fill Mill system, which includes a ReFillable Candle Vessel, two candle inserts, and a wick trimmer.


Everyone who chose this box received the "Last Drink By the Bonfire" insert and could choose one more out of either "Behind the Unmarked Door," "Sunday Dinner at the Grove," or "On the Open Desert Road." Here are the scent profiles for each, taken from the Bespoke Post website:
  • Last Drink By the Bonfire: Like the last pour from the bottle before the night wanes and the fire blows out. Spiked with notes of ginger, clove, and the best of old friends.
  • Behind the Unmarked Door: Like a hidden speakeasy, marked only by the mellow scents of fresh tobacco and patchouli musk from behind the door. Carefree banter echoes inside.
  • Sunday Dinner at the Grove: Like a golden-hour meal in a lemon grove, with charred citrus in the air. The old California woods around us cast jagged shadows across the placemats.
  • On the Open Desert Road: Captures the aura of a lone desert pine along a stretch of arid earth through breezy notes of herbs and cypress.
I love the ones I received! I like warm, spicy scents and both of them fit that scent profile. 




The ReFillable Candle Insert is beautiful and was available in dark gray or off-white/cream. I obviously chose the dark gray. 

The vessel is made from concrete and has a textured brass knob that works with strike-anywhere matches and the lid will safely extinguish the flame once you're done burning. The inserts fit perfectly into the vessel and snap with a magnetic locking system.


It's really easy to lift the inserts out of the vessel and I like that the scents are interchangeable. I want to get the other two candles to complete the set (they sell for $15 each or for $45 as a trio).

Also included in the box is a wick trimmer, which is an obvious accessory but something I needed. Even though I have dozens of candles, I've never bought a real wick trimmer and definitely needed one. They're essential for keeping your candles in the best burning shape.

Bottom Line: I'm obsessed with candles, so the Bespoke Post "Wax" box was a no-brainer purchase for me. I love both of the scents I received and the vessel is beautiful even when a candle isn't burning inside.

Once Upon a Book Club Review: "The Cupcake Connection"

I love to read and book subscriptions are one of the most exciting ways to add new books to your library. The Once Upon a Book Club subscription sends a newly-released novel and wrapped gifts to match the theme each month!

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


Once Upon a Book Club has an Adult and Young Adult subscription box. Both options send a newly-released novel and three to five gifts related to the story, a signed book plate, a quote card, and a bookmark.


This a review for the "The Cupcake Connection" box from the Adult subscription. If you don't want to subscribe, you can also purchase boxes as a one-time option for $55 per box. Here are the subscription plans:
  • Monthly: $49.99 per month
  • Three Months: $145 every three months
  • Six Months: $289 every six months
  • Yearly: $570 every 12 months
All subscription plans and the one-time purchase options have free U.S. shipping. Subscriptions are auto-renewed until cancelled and you will be billed on the 25th of every month.


Once Upon a Book Club doesn't just send a box of fun items (although that definitely is part of the fun), but even better, each item is labeled with a page number from the book at which you'll be instructed to open each gift. I think this is a great idea and makes reading the book interactive and way more enjoyable.

This box came with the novel Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley and five gifts. The book is a modern romance about a reality star and football player who pretend to be a couple in order to save a bakery. The genre of the box changes, so this subscription is great for people who want to receive all different types of books.


The box also includes an insert titled "Book Club Kit" with information about the book, the author, and discussion questions for if you choose to use this book for your own book club. There's also a bookmark, signed book plate, and note from the author.



The back page of the Book Club Kit also includes a recipe for Sugar Blitz Cupcakes, which goes perfectly with the book's story.


Once you get to a section of the book with a corresponding gift, there is a note inside reminding you that it's time to open one up!

Keep reading if you want to see spoilers for each gift.


The first gift is on page 78 and is a first aid kit box. It's empty, so you can use it for literal first aid items or storing anything else you'd like. I was a little confused how this would fit in with the novel (I opened all the items before reading the book for the sake of this review), but on page 78 it says "...get the first aid kit" so there you go!


The gift for page 144 is a clear stemless wine glass with "What are books without wine?" printed on it. This was well-packaged to ensure it wouldn't break during shipping.



Page 177's gift was a red lipstick, and page 242 had yellow and purple silicone cupcake holders.

Page 142's gift was a rolled up "Reading Log" poster.

If you're not sure about a subscription yet, you can purchase a one-time box from their shop, including this one. They also have a Halloween and Bridgerton collection and Seasonal Boxes. Looking for book-related gifts? They have plenty of those, too!

Bottom Line: I think that Once Upon a Book Club is a unique and creative subscription for book lovers! You'll get a new book as well as thoughtfully-curated gifts that you get to open as you read the book, making the experience even more indulgent.

Gift Idea: TeeTurtle Octopus on Amazon!

If you're on TikTok or have children, you've probably already seen the Reversible Octopus toy from TeeTurtle. These trendy buddies are so cute and aren't just for kids!

*Disclaimer: This product was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


TeeTurtle makes the original Reversible Octopus Plushie that gained fame on social media. They're available in a bunch of different colors, including this pretty rainbow version!


As the name implies, the plushie has two different sides that you can show off to express your mood. People on TikTok have had a lot of fun making videos with these toys showing their friends and significant others that they're "happy" or "mad" in a comical way.

There are currently 44 different color combinations of the Octopus available on Amazon. They're $15 each and qualify for free Prime Shipping if you have an Amazon Prime account. 


Here's the opposite side of the Rainbow plushie, a black and gray angry face. Even the "mad" face is cute!

It's easy to flip back and forth between the two designs, whether to show your emotion or just for fun. I've gifted these to my niece and nephew, who are toddler-aged, but I know my adult friends also enjoy them!

Not only are the toys purely fun and cute, they can be an effective tool for expressing emotion when you're overwhelmed. If octopuses (yes, that's the correct plural) aren't your thing, the TeeTurtle reversibles are also available in turtle, cat, unicorn, and even axolotl (and more!) varieties.

  • The TeeTurtle plushies can be purchased at Amazon

Bottom Line: I love the TeeTurtle Reversible Octopus Plushie! It's so cute and a good quality plush toy. It holds its shape well and is fun to toss around and flip around the different faces.

e1011 labs Elon Device and Stelo Relief Review

I'm not sure what has been going on lately with my sleep schedule, other than that it's all messed up. I've been working a lot of overtime and the hotter weather didn't help, either. Instead of tossing and turning all night, sometimes I look to CBD to help me relax and fall asleep. The new Elon Device and Stelos from e1011 labs have been super helpful at easing my restlessness!

*This product was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


The Elon Device was created after five years of intensive research and development, making it a leading device in the heat-not-burn category. It's easy to use anywhere with a simple, plug-and-go, button-free system.


The Elon is made with aerospace-grade materials and redefines flower vaporization. It provides fast and efficient delivery through precise heating technology that ensures you receive the full benefits of the flower and natural terpenes without any toxins associated with flammable combustion.


The device charges in 30 to 45 minutes and lasts for to 13 to 15 sessions, with full flavor in six seconds. The Elon heats the flower blends to the ideal temperature to deliver the full benefits of CBD and other cannabinoids with zero waste and perfect airflow.


The Elon is meant to be used with e1011 labs's Stelo or Ari53 pods. The Stelos are available in three varities: Relax, Relief, and Uplift. The Ari53 are available in Grape Ape and Biscotti.

I received the Stelo Relief to try. I was interested in this particular flavor because, as stated, I've been having trouble falling asleep and I thought that the relaxing effects would help. It's made with fruity and citrus flavors and full-spectrum help flower. Terpenes Linalool and Myrcene help support the body's natural healing processes.

Stelos are made with 100 percent sun-grown hemp flowers (no synthetics) that contain a high percentage of CBD, a non-addictive cannabinoid that does not cause a high the way THC does. There is a small percentage of THC in the Relief Stelo, but it is less than .3 percent, the federal limit for hemp classification of Cannabis Sativa L. Stelos are tested by an independent third-party licensed lab for quality.

I'd never used a vaporizer for CBD consumption prior to trying the Elon and Stelos, so I was curious to see how it worked for me. I've taken oral CBD before and it never really seemed to haven an effect, and I know vaporizers "hit" quicker, and I found that to be true with the Elon. Keep in mind, this is not a THC/marijuana product. I didn't feel high, but instead the relaxing and calming feeling that I was hoping for from the CBD. I used one Stelo while I had a headache before bed, and it not only lessened the pain from my headache, it also helped me fall asleep.

Bottom Line: I'm impressed with the e1011 Elon Device and Stelo Relief! The device is easy to use and has a nice, sleek design that's easily portable. The Stelo Relief truly helped my headache pain and I was able to relax after using the pod. I recommend the Elon and Stelos to anyone looking for an effective, high quality CBD experience!
