Ecocentric Mom time again!
If you’re unaware, Ecocentric Mom is a unique subscription box that features mom & baby products that are eco-friendly, natural, organic, and often vegan-friendly. There are 3 different box options to choose from. I (still) subscribe to the “Mom & Baby” box, but they also offer a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. They also recently announced a new “Ecocentric Box” for women in general (moms and non-moms alike!).

Time to check out the August Pretend Play Projects box from My Pretend Place! My girls love this subscription and always look forward to seeing what’s inside when we open up the familiar white box.

They actually include enough materials to make 2 of each project — perfect for siblings or friends to join in the fun. [read more…]
Flicker & Flame is a brand new subscription box that sends you a handmade, limited edition soy candle every month.
Each scent will be unique and will often evoke the “mood” of the current season. Think florals and fruity notes in the warmer months, and notes of pine and cinnamon in the cooler months. When you sign up, you’ll be asked a few scent-related questions to start building your personal scent profile. This will help determine which candles you’re most likely to enjoy. [read more…]
Every month Birchbox features a guest-curated box that you can choose instead of your “regular” box. August’s curator was Nicole Richie, so I decided to check it out.
If you’re new to Birchbox, it’s basically a monthly subscription box that sends you 4-5 grooming, beauty, and lifestyle samples for just $10/month. When you sign up you take a style quiz and they send you products that best fit your profile. Both well-known and up-and-coming brands are included, all in generously sized multi-use samples.

I haven’t received a From the Lab box since February, so I kinda thought the subscription was gone for good. — Guess I thought wrong!
If you’re new to them, 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. They source their products from some of the same beauty labs that luxury brands develop their lines in. However, they’re able to offer them at a much lower cost because 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 store shelves. [read more…]

Every month after you’ll receive another 1/2 yard of fabric, Washi tape, baker’s twine, and any other materials required for that month’s project. Not into sewing? They also offer a “no sew” option!

My July Fit Snack arrived a little later than usual, but it ended up being one of my favorite boxes they’ve sent, so it was worth the wait.
If you’re new to them, Fit Snack is a snack subscription box that’s curated to include items that are both well balanced and nutrient dense. When selecting products to include in the box, they use the Fit Snack “Perfect 10″. Put simply, they look for snacks that fall into one or more of these categories: Nutrient Dense (high in protein, complex carbs, low sugar index), Consciously Made (GMO free, organic production, sustainably farmed), and Diversified Energy (gluten free, clean eating, paleo, raw).
