April 9, 2015 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

I reviewed my first Koala Crate back in February (“Colors”) and thought it was a great box for little ones. So of course I was happy when I was offered a chance to review their latest box — “Bugs”!

If you’re new to them, Koala Crate is a fun subscription box from the same company who runs Kiwi Crate. While Kiwi Crate is for kids ages 4 through 8, Koala Crate is geared towards younger tots ages 3 to 4.

Every month, Koala Crate sends your little one a box packed full of fun and education activities. Each crate will be based around a different theme and include a variety of art supplies, crafts, learning materials, and more. You’ll also receive a parent’s guide to help them complete each project.

Fit Snack March 2015 Review & Exclusive Offer

April 1, 2015 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

I first reviewed Fit Snack back in January and was pleased with the selection of healthy snacks they sent. I didn’t get a chance to check out February’s box, so I was excited to see what they’d have in store for March.

Fit Snack doesn’t just toss any ol’ snacks into their boxes. They have a set of guidelines that help them choose 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).

Chococurb March 2015 Chocolate Box Review, Coupon, & Giveaway

March 30, 2015 by Wendy Rose — 41 Comments

I recently reviewed February’s Chococurb box (seen here) and was very impressed with the unique selection of chocolates they sent. By sheer luck, that box was also totally vegan. I wasn’t quite so lucky this time, but I was equally as impressed with the treats.

Chococurb hand selects 5 to 7 treats from the top chocolatiers in the world to be included in each box. The folks at Chococurb believe that chocolate is more than just food – it’s an experience to be enjoyed and shared. That’s why they only include the finest treats, made by the best brands. They also have a shop on their site, so if you discover a new chocolate you’d like more of, you can buy it right from there. [read more…]

Glossybox March 2015 Review

March 28, 2015 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

My March Glossybox was delayed due to “extreme weather” near their warehouse. It finally arrived a couple days ago but I’m pretty happy with it, so no biggie.

If you’re not aware, Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription box that sends 5-6 deluxe sized samples packed inside a super sturdy, reusable box. The packaging is top notch and only the highest quality brands are included.

Ecocentric Mom March/April 2015 Review

March 27, 2015 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Ecocentric Mom time! I keep telling myself to switch over to the “mom” version of the box, but I’m just not ready to give up the cutesy baby things (or admit that my 2 1/2 year olds aren’t babies anymore!).

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!).

March 24, 2015 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Loot Crate unboxing time! The theme for March is “Covert” and pays tribute to secret agents, spies, missions, and things of that nature. Not really my cup o’ tea, but I’ll try to keep an open mind.

If you’re new here, Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box for fans of gamer/geek culture. Every month you’ll get a box packed with 6-8 items that can include toys, gear, snacks, hardware, art, accessories, and more! (They’ve even been sending limited edition Loot Crate exclusive items!)
