Citrus Lane January 2014 Review & 50% Off Discount Code

January 16, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Citrus Lane? Already?! I normally get my box around the 22nd, so seeing that it was out for delivery today was quite a nifty surprise. Nifty gallifty. (Yep, I’m using Daniel Tiger references now. I’m a total mom.)

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. (Not in the last couple months. Boo.)

January’s box was loosely themed with “items that will remind you that spring is right around the corner”. Erm, okay… If you say so, Citrus Lane. 😉 This month’s offerings were tailored to an 18-month old girl. Let’s see what’s inside! [read more…]

January 11, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

I love that Vegan Presence ships their packages at the start of each month. LOVE it!

If you’re new around here (welcome!), Vegan Presence is a monthly subscription box service that features — you guessed it — all vegan-friendly products. Items can range from food to beauty to household essentials. This is by-far one of my favorite subscription boxes! They’re always packaged oh-so-prettily too! 😀

Let’s see what vegan-y goodness they’ve included this month! [read more…]

A Little Bundle December 2013 Review

January 5, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 5 Comments

A Little Bundle is a new(ish) subscription service that delivers fun and functional products for mommas and babies up to 2 years old. Every bundle consists of at least 4 carefully chosen items for you and your little one.

A Little Bundle selects only the best products to include each month — all items are non-toxic, beautifully crafted, and preferably natural and/or organic. Many are from small/independent businesses, and because of this, it’s unlikely that two boxes are entirely the same. Good news for those of you who try to avoid seeing spoilers — your contents remain a surprise until you open your ~~box~~ bundle! 🙂

Needless to say, I was pretty damn excited when A Little Bundle agreed to send me one of their boxes for review. I had seen some of their previous boxes and they were awesome!

So what did I get? Let’s have a look-see… [read more…]

Little Thinker Box is a fun new subscription box for preschool/kindergarten aged kiddos. Each box contains theme-based activities — including crafts, games, and experiments — that help children to improve their reading, math, science, and writing skills.

Boxes are $21.99/month, but you also have the option to pay for multiple months at once at a lower cost. Stay tuned for a discount code at the end of this post. 😉

I was super excited to receive December’s “Winter Wonderland” themed box, since I’m a big fan of all things winter. Especially snowmen. Love ’em. That said, this box did not disappoint. Snowman-related activities galore! [read more…]

Citrus Lane December 2013 Review & Discount Code

December 24, 2013 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“.*

My Citrus Lane box never showed the right tracking info this month, so I had no idea when (or if) I would receive it. After seeing box after box being reviewed by other bloggers, I finally discovered my un-trackable friend sitting on our doorstep yesterday afternoon. Welcome home, buddy!

If you don’t already know, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids (aged newborn-5). It’s $25/month (cheaper with longer subs) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom. (Not this month. Boo.)

The theme for December is “making memories” and my box is geared towards a 17-month old girl. [read more…]

Conscious Box December 2013 Review & Code for Free Box!

December 22, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 4 Comments

Conscious Box time! First, I wanna say that the quality of my photos has been totally lacking lately and I apologize. It’s winter & the mail usually doesn’t come until it’s dark out, thus I’m stuck without any natural light. Our current mishmash of fluorescent bulbs, mixed with incandescents, mixed with Xmas lights isn’t quite the ideal setting for photographs. Secondly, my Conscious Box was freakin’ awesome this month!

If you’re not aware, 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!

Okay, onto the goods! [read more…]

The GlobeIn Artisan Box Review

December 13, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

The GlobeIn Box is a monthly subscription that features handcrafted goods by artisans around the world. They offer three different box categories to choose from: Jewelry, Decor, or Home Accessories. Every box will contain up to three original crafts, as well as information about each creator’s background and inspirations. Boxes are $29.99/month.

Austin Lloyd November2013 Box Review & Discount Code!

December 4, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 3 Comments

Austin Lloyd is a great new subscription box for little ones. They offer unique, high-end toys selected specifically for your child’s current “play level”. When I first got a peek at the list of brands they partner with — Hape, Melissa & Doug, Haba, etc. — I knew it was going to be a fun box!

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 13-18 months. (They range from 0 months to 3 years.) My girls just turned 16 months today, so this box was perfect. Oh, and November’s theme was Thanksgiving. — Alright, let’s dig in! [read more…]

Tique Box “Fall Box” Review

November 27, 2013 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Tique Box is a new-ish (started over the summer) sub box that features products native to its region. Which region, you say? — Portland, OR! 😀

Now, I don’t know a TON about Portland, but I do know that they have an abundance of vegan-friendly eateries… That alone is enough to make me wanna visit. (Hey, I like me some food.) The only thing I don’t like about Portland (though it’s totally not their fault) is that godawful Portlandia show. I really, really wanted to like it, but… sigh… it just wasn’t meant to be. I found it to be very much like SNL, in that a lot of their recurring characters are boring/annoying/make me want to stab them with a fork. And holy crap on a cracker… Where am I going with this??

Back to the box! — Tique Box promises to “deliver Portland to your doorstep” in the form of locally made treats, crafts, home goods, and more. Boxes are $24.95/month. Right now they have two season-inspired boxes available for purchase: The Fall Box and the Holiday Box. I received the Fall Box for review. Let’s have a look-see, shall we? [read more…]

Ecocentric Mom “Baby” Box November 2013 Review

November 26, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

Yay! Another month where I’ve gotten my Ecocentric Mom box before seeing any spoilers first! Woo!

If you haven’t already heard, November is the last month of the Ecocentric Mom monthly boxes. From here on out they’ll be sending them every other month… Which means no more boxes until January. (sad face)

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.

Let’s see what I got! [read more…]

November 24, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 3 Comments

I feel like I keep forgetting to post my Conscious Box reviews here. I know I didn’t include one last month… But to be honest, that box was kinda lame so I decided not to bother with a review. Thankfully, this month’s box was a little more blog-worthy. 😉

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! Woo! (There’s a code below for a FREE box!)

Now let’s see what was in this month’s November (vegan) Conscious Box, shall we? [read more…]
