2 Little Rosebuds
Subscription box reviews by a vegan mom of twins
Giveaways, contests and other freebies! Mostly subscription box related, but not always.
Kreation Krate is a monthly subscription box for beginner to intermediate crafters. Each month you’ll receive all of the materials you need to make a fun DIY/craft project.
In addition to the main project, every Kreation Krate will also include a “Kind Craft”. This will be a bonus project that you make with the intention of passing it along to someone else as a random act of kindness. Such a neat idea!
Kreation Krate kindly sent me their debut box for review. Let’s have a look! [read more…]
Healthy Surprise is a monthly subscription box for snacks — vegan/gluten-free/soy-free, all-natural-super-fantastic ones! It’s a great box for those with food allergies, vegans (hey, that’s me!), or anyone who wants to snack a little healthier.
Oh, did I mention that all of the snacks are FULL SIZE? Yep. They sure are. No sample-sized, mini snacks in these boxes! You can choose from 3 different box sizes: Starter (16-20 servings), Healthy (32-40 servings), or Large (48-60 servings). Boxes start at $33/month and you can cancel at anytime. (But why would you want to?)
This is my third box from them and I love that they include toddler/kid-friendly snacks too! Okay, less talk, more snacks! Let’s see what goodies Healthy Surprise delivered this time! [read more…]
SoapBox Soaps is a small company dedicated to making some pretty big changes. How, you ask? Read on!
Everyone needs soap, right? Heck yeah, we do! Well, not only does SoapBox Soaps make awesome, all natural soap products… They also donate fresh water, vitamins, or a bar of soap to a child in need every time one of their products is purchased! Woohoo! Buying something you already need and helping a good cause at the same time? A total win-win!
All of SoapBox Soaps‘ products are vegan, gluten-free, and 100% natural. They’re also palm oil free and made right here in the USA.
I was recently sent a sampling of their products to try, so let’s check ’em out! [read more…]

As a vegan momma, I always try to use all natural, vegan-friendly products for my girls — especially when it comes to bath time. (Cos who wants to bathe in chemicals? Ew.)
Babo Botanicals offer a wide range of bath products for babies and kids of all ages (adults too!). All of their formulas are made with natural, plant-based ingredients. You won’t find any synthetic ingredients, artificial colors/fragrances, sulfates, parabens, or icky chemicals in any of their products. Aside from their lotions (which contain beeswax), all of their hair, bath, and body products are 100% vegan. Oh, and you can rest assured that nothing is ever tested on animals. 🙂
Not only are Babo Botanicals products safe for babies, but they’re pretty gentle on the earth too! All of their formulas are biodegradable and the packaging is totally recyclable. Woo!
I was recently sent a few of their Berry Primrose products to try out with the girls. How did we like them? Read on! [read more…]
JJ’s Sweets is a candy company dedicated to making delicious treats that are not only made with natural ingredients, but are also both vegan and gluten-free. Their most notable treat? The almighty Cocomel!
Cocomels are “the original coconut milk caramels” and they are freakin’ DELICIOUS! The lil’ pieces of awesomeness are artisan-made in copper kettles using only organic/non-GMO ingredients and are 100% dairy-/gluten-free. They are also very, very addictive. (Trust me.)
I was lucky enough to try the Original Cocomels in a subscription box a few months ago, but hadn’t had a chance to try the other flavors. Needless to say, I was beyond excited when JJ’s Sweets offered to send me a sampler package for review. So. Excited. [read more…]
The Handy Box is a brand new subscription box for the handy (or not so handy) man or woman looking to get a monthly delivery of useful tools and gadgets.

Every box will include around 4 to 6 items, ranging from the most basic of tools, to fun gadgets, to everyday essentials like batteries. The Handy Box is $24.95/month (shipping included) and promises to contain at least $40 in products!
I was recently sent their pre-launch box for review and here’s what was inside… [read more…]
I See Me! is a retail site that offers children’s books that are not only beautifully illustrated, but are also personalized with your child’s name, birthday, and more! How cool is that?
In addition to books, I See Me! also offers a wide range of fun, gift-worthy items — growth charts, coloring books, placemats, stickers, lunchboxes — all personalized for your little one!
Confession time! When I named my “2 little rosebuds”, I (kinda guiltily) knew I was giving one of them a bit of a disadvantage, name-wise. Now, Chloe is a pretty common name, so she’ll be alright… But Everly? Yeaaah… that’s a name I’m not gonna find on a personalized… well, anything… anytime soon. That said, I was more than happy when I See Me! offered us a personalized book for twins. Although she’s too young to appreciate it right now, I know Everly is going to LOVE seeing her name in print soon enough!
The book I received is called “Who Loves Me?” and can be personalized for singletons, siblings, and in our case, twins. 🙂 [read more…]
My Bakers Box is a new subscription box that sends you a fun selection of baking-related goodies every month.
Items can range from cookie cutters, to cupcake liners, edible images, sprinkles, and more! Boxes can also include tips for using the items, as well as a recipe or two. The products are usually centered around a specific theme or time of year (holidays, seasons, etc).
I was recently sent April’s My Bakers Box for review and was excited to see what was inside! Let’s take a look! [read more…]
As a long-time vegan, I’ve come to really appreciate a good (vegan-friendly) granola bar.
So what could possibly be better than a good granola bar? Oh, I dunno… Maybe an AWESOME BAR?
Okay, lame intro aside, Awesome Bars truly are some seriously good awesome granola bars. They’re made in San Francisco by two sisters who wanted to create a vegan snack that was all natural, tasted great, and was good for you.
Awesome Bars are made with only natural, non-GMO ingredients and are packed with protein & fiber. They have zero preservatives and plenty of flavor. Awesome.
I was recently sent a variety pack containing each of Awesome Bars‘ different flavors. Did they live up to their namesake? Read on! [read more…]
I was first introduced to North Coast Organics a couple months ago, when they were featured in January’s Vegan Presence package. In that package was a travel size of “Death by Lavender” and it was truly love at first sniff!
North Coast Organics is a small independent mom & pop son company run by Nathan (the founder) and his mom Debbie. Cute, right? It was started by Nathan when he was having a hard time finding an effective, organic deodorant that was also vegan. His solution? Create his own! Problem solved. 🙂
All of the products offered by North Coast Organics are certified organic, cruelty-free, and vegan. In addition to deodorant, they also sell (100% vegan) hand & body lotions, as well as lip balms.
I received samples of all 3 of their deodorant scents for review — check ’em out! [read more…]
Okay, so I have a bunch of awesome giveaways up — including one that’s ending in a few hours — I figured I’d do a quick post listing them all. Why? Why the heck not?! 🙂
There’s some pretty sweet stuff up for grabs… GO ENTER!!
Petit Vour is a monthly subscription that features 100% vegan/cruelty-free luxury bath & beauty products. Each box contains a mixture of both sample and full-sized items for just $15/month — and shipping is always free!
I was sent a Petit Vour box back in September and was really pleased with the items I received. So of course I was more than happy when they contacted me again to review February’s box!
Let’s see what’s inside! [read more…]
I’m all about trying healthy new snacks, so when KIND offered to send me some of their Healthy Grains Clusters to try out, I was more than happy to give ’em a try.
KIND firmly believes that if you can’t pronounce an ingredient, you probably shouldn’t be eating it. That’s why all of their products contain only “ingredients you can see & pronounce” (as proudly stated on their packaging!). Their granola, as well as their popular snack bars, are all made with 100% whole grains, fruits, and nuts — no refined sugar, no artificial flavors — nothing but all natural snackin’ goodness!
I was sent three bags of their vegan-friendly (not all of their flavors are) Healthy Grains Clusters and I couldn’t wait to dig in! [read more…]
