Ecocentric Mom “Mom & Baby” Box March 2014 Review

April 3, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Ecocentric Mom recently switched from a monthly box to an every-other-month box. This is the second box I’ve received on their new “schedule”. I’ve been pretty happy with the change, as the boxes are still full of great stuff and now I have more time to use them between shipments.

As always, I received the “Mom & Baby” box. The other two options available are a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. Subscriptions are $24/every-other-month, but they often have discount codes available that are usually 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!)

Let’s see what was inside this month! [read more…]

Citrus Lane March 2014 Review and $20 Discount #2

March 23, 2014 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“.*

Once again, I got two different Citrus Lane boxes this month. My mom signed up when they offered new members their first box for free and (lucky for me) forgot to cancel after she received it… So she ended up getting one this month too. Woo!

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids aged newborn-5. It’s $29/month (cheaper with longer subs) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom.

This month’s box included products to “help your baby learn and play”, along with a few practical/functional items.

Our box is geared towards a 2 year old girl (I think?) and here’s what was inside… [read more…]
