Citrus Lane February 2014 Review #2 and 50% Discount!

February 26, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

*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“.*

Although I’ve already reviewed February’s Citrus Lane box not too long ago, I’m posting another one!

I totally forgot that my mom took advantage of their free box offer last month and ordered one for the girls. She aged it up a bit (not sure exactly how much), so I’m guessing this box is for a 2 year old maybe? Seems about right, based on the other reviews I’ve seen.

I was SO excited when she called me up to remind me that she had ordered a box, and then went on to reveal what was inside. I was hoping that I’d get 2 of the items in our “normal” box, and when we didn’t I was kinda bummed. So when I heard that we actually DID get them, I was super stoked. (Yep, when you’re a mom you totally get “stoked” by stuff like this. Sad, but true.)

Oh, if you don’t already know, 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. (They did this time. Yay!)

Okay, onto Box #2! [read more…]

bluum February 2014 Review & 50% Off Discount

February 25, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

I’ve always been curious about bluum, so I finally took the plunge and signed up!

bluum is a monthly subscription box for babies & kiddos from birth through age 5. Every box will contain 5 or more products that are responsibly sourced, eco-friendly and often organic.

There used to be monthly “themes”, but they’ve recently moved away from that and instead curate each box based upon your child’s current age in months.

My girls are currently 18 months old, so the box I received was for 19 months. Let’s see what they sent! [read more…]

Citrus Lane February 2014 Review & 50% Discount!

February 19, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 4 Comments

Yay! Citrus Lane day! This is one of my favorite subs and I always get (a little too) excited when I see it on my doorstep.

If you don’t already know, 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. (They did this time. Yay!)

February’s box was loosely themed with “items that we hope will brighten up the dismal weather”… Which is awfully close to last month’s “items that will remind you that spring is right around the corner”. Eh, whatever. I’m sure it’s not easy to think of unique themes every month. This box was tailored to a 19-month old girl.

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!

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!

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…]
