August 4, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Sudsy Box is a new subscription box that sends you 3 full-sized handmade bars of soap every other month. They also include a little extra “surprise gift” in every box (lip balm, bath salts, etc.). Awesome!

The soaps are all natural and handmade by Heidi’s Artisan Soap. They’re vegan, gluten-free and contain zero artificial colors or fragrances. Each box highlights the scents of the particular season in which it’s shipped. (You can see my reviews of the first 2 boxes here.)

Sudsy Box is just $20 every other month — shipping included!

Before receiving the box, I was told that the theme this time would be “Soaps from Around the World”. Let’s have a look! [read more…]

From the Lab Luxury Beauty July 2014 Box Review & $30 Store Credit!

July 31, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

From the Lab is a monthly beauty box that sends you luxury brand beauty products at a drastically lower cost — months before they’re released to the US market.

From the Lab gets its products from some of the same beauty labs that luxury brands develop their lines in. However, they’re able to offer them at a lower cost since they don’t do extensive marketing campaigns or worry about pretty packaging. This also allows them to get the products to you as early as 18 months before they hit the US market.

All of the products offered by From the Lab are held to strict European safety standards and are fully tested and approved before being accepted by them. All of the formulas are also cruelty/animal-free (yay!) and contain only clean ingredients. Each shipment will contain a 30-day supply of 1 to 3 skin care, hair care, or cosmetic items. Boxes are $29.95/month (includes shipping!), or less with longer commitments.

Alright, let’s see what’s in July’s box, shall we? [read more…]

Citrus Lane July 2014 Review #2 and Code for $20 Off First Box!

July 25, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

Here’s my second Citrus Lane box for July. My mom also has a subscription for the girls that she aged up a bit, so I get to review two boxes. Woo! (Sadly, I think this is her last month… Boo.)

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids aged newborn-5. It’s $29/month (cheaper with longer subs) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom.

This month’s box featured products that are great for travel and “on-the-go”. As always, I had already seen plenty of spoilers and pretty much knew what would be in my box. That said, I was still excited to see (confirm?) what was inside. Also, I have no idea exactly how old my mom aged up her box, so I’m never quite sure what range it falls in.

From the looks of other reviews, I’d say we probably got a 3-year old’s box or close to it. Okay, so let’s see what’s inside, shall we? [read more…]

Loot Crate “Villains” July 2014 Review & Discount!

July 23, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box for fans of gamer/geek culture.

Every month you’ll get a box with 6-8 items that can include toys, gear, snacks, hardware, art, accessories, and more! Boxes are $19.37/month (price includes shipping), or less with longer subscriptions.

This is my third month of Loot Crate, and I think this is probably the best one yet! The theme this time is “Villains” and features the “bad guys” of some of the more popular comics/movies/video games. Not only did it include an exclusive comic book and t-shirt, it was also packed with lotsa goodies!

Let’s check it out! [read more…]

bluum July 2014 Review & 50% Off Discount Code

July 23, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

bluum is one of my favorite boxes to open every month. Unlike most of the other “baby/kid” boxes, I never really know what’s going to be inside this one. The contents are based on the age of your kiddo, and boxes tend to vary a LOT. So it pretty much remains a mystery until it reaches my doorstep. (And I LOVE me some mystery boxes!)

For those who aren’t aware, bluum is a monthly subscription box for babies & kiddos from birth through age 5. Each box contains 5 or more products that are responsibly sourced, eco-friendly and often organic.

There used to be monthly “themes”, but they’ve moved away from that and instead curate each box based upon your child’s current age in months. bluum also recently joined forces with Stork Stack, so anyone who had a subscription with them (Stork Stack) will now be receiving boxes from bluum instead.

My girls are currently 23 months old, so the bluum box I received was for 24 months. Okay, let’s see what was in the big red box this time! [read more…]

Orange Glad Sweet Box July 2014 Review & Discount Code

July 11, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Orange Glad is a monthly subscription box that features gourmet desserts. Cookies, brownies, cakes, candies — if you’ve got a taste for sweets, this is totally a box for you!

Orange Glad carefully selects the yummiest treats from sweets shops and bakeries all over the country. Each dessert box will contain five deluxe gourmet treats delivered fresh to your door. The info card indicates when you should eat each treat in order to ensure maximum freshness.

I was sent July’s Sweet Box for review, and while I never expect any of the items to be vegan (I don’t think anything ever has been), I’m always curious to see what they send. (Plus I love giving my family all the goodies that I can’t eat!)

Let’s see what was in this month’s box! [read more…]

June 26, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

This is my second Citrus Lane review for June (the first one is right here). My mom has another subscription that she aged up for the girls so we get double the goodies! Sadly, she only has one more month left in her prepaid sub and I don’t think she’s going to renew. ( 🙁 )

Like Love With Food, 2 Degrees is also dedicated to feeding the hungry. For every 2 Degrees bar sold, they donate a meal to a person in need. — Just like Love With Food does with their monthly boxes.

Thanks to this awesome partnership, LWF will be doubling the amount of meals donated for the month of July. Woohoo!
