Photo: Jenna Solomon\/Ease<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A self-care subscription box service has been launched by new Cape Town small business, Ease, this April.<\/p>\n<p>Ease was founded by Jenna Solomon, a 23-year-old honours media student at the University of Cape Town, in January this year. The business started out selling care packages with same-day delivery, a service that considered social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Ease is about tools that enhance self-care, self-development, and, ultimately, happiness. It\u2019s about helping people reach their goals and finding pleasure in practical things that challenge and empower them.<\/p>\n<p>This brand philosophy is reflected in the self-care subscription box offering. Customers subscribe to receive a box every month, containing 5+ items and \/or services. Each box will contain a snack, a challenge, a home\/office item, a body care item, and various extra goodies.<\/p>\n<p>Each box will also contain an item that promotes community participation. All items<br \/>are sourced from small businesses and\/or locally made.<\/p>\n<p>The first box, delivered in the first week of May, will contain: a chocolate brownie from The Baker\u2019s Delicacies; a pot plant from PotsaboutPlantsCT; a pack of The Secret Love Project stickers; S Collection tissue oil, body lotion, perfume, and discount coupon; a Loose Sketchings postcard; tips from psychology practice Sage Therapy; a discount coupon for golden hour glo; and access to a community of self-care devotees, suggestions for self-care practice, and community activities. One lucky subscriber will also find a pair of Andalusia pearl studs from klassik in their box.<\/p>\n<p>A once-off box is priced at R380, excluding delivery costs. Discounted boxes are available for students, pensioners, and grant holders at R280, excluding delivery. A 6-month subscription costs R360 per month (R260 per month for students, pensioners, and grant holders), while a 12-month subscription costs R330 per month (or R230 per month for students, pensioners, and grant holders).<\/p>\n<p>As an opening special, the once-off price is R350, excluding delivery, and R220, excluding delivery, for students, pensioners and grant-holders. Sign up and payment are via the website and opens 25 April 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Delivery is to main centres nationwide.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/cape-town-student-launches-self-care-subscription-box\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The May Self-Care Box contains items designed to promote self-love from local businesses.
