February 14, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

iHeartMD is a brand new monthly subscription dedicated to promoting a heart-healthy lifestyle. Boxes will contain products related to nutrition, exercise, and stress management. (Did you know that February is Heart Awareness Month? No?! Now ya do!)

Each month you’ll receive 5-8 samples, all of which go hand-in-hand with the principles of the traditional Mediterranean diet. All of the products are pre-approved by a panel of 10 board-certified physicians specializing in cardiology — so you KNOW you’re getting good stuff!

iHeartMD also includes monthly members-only digital content that includes nutrition tips, recipes, Q&A sessions, and more. There’s even a loyalty program that allows you to earn points towards future boxes. Oh, and for every box sold, they donate $1 to non-profits that focus on hunger and obesity. Nice!

My family has a history of heart disease, so I was really curious to see what iHeartMD had to offer. Let’s have a look! [read more…]

Adventure Trunk is a brand new subscription box geared towards younger kiddos (age 2 to 4). Each box contains 12 different hands-on activities that are approved by a certified elementary education teacher. The activities will focus on math, reading, and art, with one activity dedicated to each area per week. Every month will feature a different kid-friendly theme that the activities will be based on.

Activities included will range from art projects, to stories, sensory activities, puzzles, and more. Every box will also include an “Explorer” booklet, which serves as your “lesson plans” for the month. It details how each activity is to be completed, as well as how to tweak them to match your child’s skill level. The booklet also has a “suggested reading” list that goes along with the theme and ideas for non-box related activities to do in addition to the ones in the box.

February 9, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

February’s Batch was themed “Movie Night” and included lots of goodies to indulge in while watching your favorite film. Let’s take a look! [read more…]

HauteLegs Review & Giveaway

February 7, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 20 Comments

HauteLegs is a monthly subscription service that features the season’s hottest tights and leggings. Each month, you choose 2 of your favorite styles from their customized boutique. They’ll send you those two items, as well as a third “featured item” for that month (along with tips on how to style them). You can also choose to have just 2 pair sent to you — one you choose, and the other the featured item chosen by HauteLegs.

When you initially sign up, you actually get to choose all of the selections yourself for that first month. So if you sign up for 3 pair/month, you’ll get to choose all 3. It’s not until the second month that they introduce the featured item.

HauteLegs is $36 for 3 pair, or $28 for 2. Shipping is always included.

I pretty much live in tights and leggings, so I was super excited when HauteLegs offered to send me a package to review. Yay! [read more…]

Color Me Monthly January 2014 Review

February 5, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Color Me Monthly is a fun nail polish subscription service that sends one seasonal color to you every month.

All of their polishes are “free of toluene, formaldehyde/formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and camphor” — aka non-toxic. Animal testing is also a big no-no (their polishes are vegan!) and they try to work with vendors who share that sentiment. Awesome!

Oh, and did I mention that Color Me Monthly is only $7/month (shipping included)? Double awesome!

I was sent their January “box” for review and was excited to see what color I’d get. Let’s have a look! [read more…]

Urthbox is a relatively new subscription box that delivers healthy foods, snacks, and beverages right to your door every month.

Urthbox focuses on products that are natural, organic, and GMO-free. They have 4 different box options to choose from: Classic, Vegan, Gluten-free, and Diet. Whichever box you choose, you’ll receive at least 10 products from a variety of health-conscious companies. Boxes are $25/month and shipping is free. Oh, and they also have a great rewards program that gives you credits to use in their soon to be opened online shop!

I was supposed to receive the Vegan box, but there was a mixup and I was sent the “Classic” one instead. To make up for it, Urthbox is going to send me February’s Vegan box, so stay tuned for that review in the coming weeks!

Okay, onto the snacky-snack-snacks! [read more…]

Ecocentric Mom “Baby” Box January 2014 Review & Discount Code

January 28, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 5 Comments

Ecocentric Mom recently switched from a monthly box to an every-other-month box. I was a little bummed about it at first, but I’m kinda happy about the change now. It saves me money and gives me more time to use up the products before the next box arrives.

As always, I received the “Mom & Baby” box this month. The other two options available are a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. Subscriptions are $24/box, but they often have discount codes available that are often good for the life of your sub. (I was able to score a discounted subscription not too long ago and now my boxes are only $18/month. Not bad!)

Right now (until 2/15!), you can get 10% off a new subscription when you click here and use promo code “ECOMOM10%OFF”.

Okay, let’s see what I got! [read more…]

Austin Lloyd January 2014 Review & Discount Code

January 26, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 3 Comments

Austin Lloyd is a great new(ish) subscription box for little ones. They offer unique, high-end toys selected specifically for your child’s current “play level”. I was lucky enough to be sent a review box this past November (which I LOVED), and even luckier to have won January’s box via a blog giveaway. Woo!

Austin Lloyd is committed to providing toys that are not only engaging, but also bpa & phthalate free. None of the toys will ever require batteries and the total value of the items will always exceed the cost of your box. Awesome! Oh, did I mention that they also give you the option of sending your toys back once you’ve outgrown them so they can donate them to a charity? Yep. They do that too.

Every box contains 4-5 toys and at least 1 book. Month-to-month subscriptions are $49.99 (or less with a 6-month commitment) and shipping is always free.

The box I received was for a play level of 19-24 months. (They range from 0 months to 3 years.) January’s theme was “music” and I couldn’t wait to see what we got! [read more…]

Conscious Box tiiiime!

For any newbs out there (hi!), Conscious Box is a monthly subscription box that features eco-friendly/natural products. Items range from healthy snacks, to natural toothpaste, and everything in between. There are 3 different boxes to choose from: The Vegan Box (which I get), The Gluten-Free Box, and the Classic Box. All boxes are $19.95/month, but you can almost always find a coupon code — often up to 50% off!

This month’s box felt really heavy, which is odd for a Conscious Box, so I couldn’t wait to open it. What was inside? Let’s take a gander! [read more…]

Nibblr Snack Box Review and (4 Box!) Giveaway! Ends 2/10/14

January 23, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 32 Comments

Nibblr is a new snack subscription that offers a variety of portion-controlled snacks delivered to your door weekly, bi-weekly, or once a month (it’s up to you!). They currently have over 50 different snack mixes, ranging from fruit & nut blends, to “feel good sweets”, to more savory choices.

Nibblr offers a cool rating system on their site so that you can choose which types of snacks you’d most like to try, as well as which ones you just wanna avoid altogether. I used the system to weed out all of the non-vegan snacks, and it totally worked! All of the snacks I received were ones that I had rated “Love It”. (The non-vegan ones were rated with “No Thanks”.) You can also view and rate snacks based on their calorie content (under 150 calories vs. over). Neat!

So let’s take a look at what vegan-friendly snacks I received! [read more…]
