An Update From The Karma Box Co.'s Erin McDonald

By Karen Bliss

Erin McDonald and Kat Rose are on a roll now with The Karma Box Co., a Canadian lifestyle subscription box filled with goodies that are sustainably sourced, vegan or vegetarian, cruelty and chemical-free. The box is typically valued at three times the asking price, and the bonus is each sale benefits a charity.


To date, The Karma Box Co. has donated a portion of its proceeds to Zoological Wildlife Foundation, Daily Bread Food Bank, Oceana, Canadian Women’s Foundation, Meaghan’s Walk, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and this season: The Nature Conservancy.

The pricing has changed since the company first started in early 2018, increasing by $10 to $79.95 per box, and there is no discount for a yearly subscription — but this is in Canadian dollars (aboutUS$60 ). They ship to Canada and the U.S. free of charge, and no longer to the U.K.

“Each season discovers a mix of six to eight full-sized, hand-picked, natural beauty brands, current fashion must-haves, fitness essentials, health-conscious eats and swoon-worthy home décor,” it reads on the web site.

There was recently an "unboxing" or "reveal," as it's termed, for the winter box: in other words, a spoiler alert.  The products McDonald and Rose selected are Anti Blue Light Glasses, by Shades Club; a large cozy scarf from The Karma Co.; All Natural Germ Away Mist, by Graydon Skincare; Turmeric Paste by Naledo Truly Tumeric; a soy candle “that is the perfect blend of gingerbread houses and elves on shelves,” by Arrow it Forward; Lash & Brow Growth Serum, by La Bloom Beauty; a tall Beasties mug, by Danica; and a four-pack of holiday cards designed by The Karma Co. 

The total value is more than $250.

Samaritanmag spoke with McDonald about the winter box, minor changes to the business, and dealing with the charities.

These Were Canada's No. 1 Songs and Albums in 2016

As everyone on social media yearns for a decade ago, we take a look at the landmark year for Canadian music when the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums charts were ruled by Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara and more.

The year is 2016: skinny jeans are in style, Instagram photo filters are all the rage, TikTok doesn't exist and Canadian artists are ruling the Billboard charts.

A decade later, many are yearning for the recent past. Decade-old photo carousels have flooded social media feeds. Somehow, 2016 is the latest trend to take over Instagram and TikTok, nostalgically romanticizing a pre-pandemic world before AI ruled, the world, brainrot wasn't a thing and basic human rights weren’t being stripped stateside (though there was also a notable election that year).
