Bestowed September 2013 Review & Discount Code!

September 24, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

Bestowed is a monthly subscription box that features healthy snacks & foods carefully chosen by nutritionist/author Heather Bauer.

Boxes are only $19/month (including shipping!) and contain a nice variety of different snacks, food items, and beverages. While the box isn’t geared towards any particular diet, I was pleased to find many vegan items in this month’s selection. (Yay!)

September’s theme is “Back to School” and features lots of kid/lunchbox-friendly products. While my girls are too young for the whole “bagged lunch” thing, I’m more than happy to eat everything myself. 😉 So what’s in the box? Read on! [read more…]

Sparaj Review & Discount Code

September 21, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Sparaj is a brand new monthly “discovery” box that features a collection of wellness products unique to Asia. It’s not a typical “subscription” service, as they don’t charge you every month. Instead, you simply sign up for a single month, or prepay for 3 to 12 months to ensure you won’t miss a box.

Sparaj selects high-quality products that are both eco-friendly and beautifully designed. Each month you can expect to receive an assortment of bath/body, spa, and aromatherapy products.

I recently received their “pre-launch” box to review, and was very impressed, to say the least. Beautiful packaging, natural ingredients, awesome scents… Sound good? Read on! [read more…]

Citrus Lane September 2013 Review & Discount Codes!

September 20, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 3 Comments

*As of December 2015, Citrus Lane is no longer in business. If you’re looking for an alternative, bluum is a great choice. — You can see my reviews of them here. With bluum, you can choose your own products and build your own box. They feature the same great brands, plus you can save $10 on your first month with coupon code “MRVA286CCE“.*

Citrus Lane totally delivered this month! I mean, I’m usually happy with everything they send, but this month was perfect. All of the items I hoped to get (from seeing spoiler pics), I ended up receiving in my box. Score!

For any newbies out there, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids (aged newborn-5). It’s $25/month (cheaper with longer subs) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom. Needless to say, I LOVE this box.

This time around, my box was geared towards a 14-month old girl. There really wasn’t much of a theme, though the info card does mention autumn and doing more indoor activities. Blahblahblah… Let’s see what I got! [read more…]

Love with Food Gluten-Free Deluxe Box September 2013 Review & Code for Free Box!

September 13, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 5 Comments

Love With Food just launched a new “deluxe” box and September (this box!) marked its official debut. Their regular box is $12/month, and this new one is $19.95/month (shipping included for both options). There was supposedly a waitlist to sign up for deluxe one, but I think current subscribers were instantly switched if they decided to go with the new option. You could also keep your “regular” box and get the deluxe as well.

This month’s box was curated by Chef Ming Tsai and featured products that are all gluten-free. (Many of them are also vegan. Woo!) I was excited as soon as I saw the size of the box — the “normal” one is a LOT smaller. My excitement turned to giddiness when I opened it up and saw how full it was. Jackpot!

Oh, did I mention that with every box purchased, Love With Food donates a meal to a child in need? Yep. They do.

Okay, onto the goodies! [read more…]

Whimseybox August 2013 Review, Discount & Giveaway

September 9, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 27 Comments

Whimseybox is a fun subscription box for those who like to get their craft on! Each month they send you a different DIY project, along with all of the supplies needed to complete it. They also include a pretty 5×7 art print to collect and/or get crafty with. Their motto is “Stop Pinning and Start Making!”.

I must admit, I’m not a very crafty person. Like, at all. When I was little I LOVED crafts, but now… not so much. However, now that I have 2 little girls of my own who’ll likely be all about “making things” in a few years, I figure I better start getting myself reacquainted with glue guns and glitter pens.

Unfortunately, this month’s project was a little more advanced than my current skill level (say, age 5-10 maybe?). 🙁 Hey, I told you I haven’t crafted in a while…

Okay, time to see what project came in this month’s ~~box of intimidation~~ Whimseybox… [read more…]

FabKids Children’s Clothing Subcription Review & 50% Discount

August 30, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 3 Comments

FabKids is a monthly clothing subscription for toddlers & older kiddos (sizes 2-12). Each month you can choose a 3-piece outfit that best fits your child’s style. There are plenty of different outfits to choose from (and mix n’ match), but if nothing appeals to you (or your little one), no problem! You can skip a month… or two… or as many as you’d like. You’re never *forced* to buy anything. A+ for that!

I received a code in this month’s Citrus Lane box that was good for one free outfit. I only had to pay $4.95 for shipping… Which is actually kinda funny, since shipping is normally free, but whatever. $4.95 for a whole outfit is a pretty awesome deal, so I went ahead and signed up. Here’s the outfit I chose… [read more…]

Splendies is a newish subscription “box” for undies! For only $12 per month, you’ll get 3 pairs of underwear in whichever size you choose. The catch is, you don’t get to choose the style. They send you 3 randomly selected undies that can vary by brand, color, style, etc. The only thing you’ll know for sure is the size. Mystery undies! [read more…]

Citrus Lane August 2013 Review & $10 Discount!

August 21, 2013 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Once again Citrus Lane teased me with their early shipping. My box departed on the 13th, yet still didn’t make it to me until the 21st. SO slow! Thankfully, I was pretty happy with the contents, so I’ll forgive the Pony Express-like shipping time.

Citrus Lane is a subscription box for babies/kids 0-5 and can include anything from toys, to books, to toiletries, and everything in between. Boxes are $25/month, but you can save $10 on your first month when you click this link. Curious about past boxes? Read my previous months’ reviews here.

My box this month was geared towards a 13-month old girl. Let’s see what’s inside! [read more…]

Conscious Box August 2013 Review & Code for FREE Box!

August 19, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 3 Comments

It’s Conscious Box time again! A couple weeks ago I reviewed the Summer Mystery Box… That one was a “bonus” that you could purchase separately, in addition to your normal subscription. This one is the “regular” August (vegan) box. There’s also another “bonus” box that’s shipping in early September called the “1% Box”. I believe that one’s still for sale. But yeah, this is the normal August one. (Confused yet?)

Alrighty, let’s see what’s in my August box!

This is my second Love With Food box and the theme this month is “Backyard BBQ”. Thankfully, despite the not-so-vegan theme, there were quite a few vegan-friendly items in the box. Yippee!

Each box is only $10/month (plus $2 shipping). There’s also a code available to get your first box FREE (I’ll share that with you at the end of the review… Be patient!). As always, with each box you purchase, Love With Food donates a meal to a person in need. Gotta love that!

So let’s see what I got this time around… [read more…]
