2 Little RosebudsSubscription box reviews by a vegan mom of twins
Flicker & Flame is a brand new subscription box that sends you a handmade, limited edition soy candle every month.
Each scent will be unique and will often evoke the “mood” of the current season. Think florals and fruity notes in the warmer months, and notes of pine and cinnamon in the cooler months. When you sign up, you’ll be asked a few scent-related questions to start building your personal scent profile. This will help determine which candles you’re most likely to enjoy. [read more…]
Every month Birchbox features a guest-curated box that you can choose instead of your “regular” box. August’s curator was Nicole Richie, so I decided to check it out.
If you’re new to Birchbox, it’s basically a monthly subscription box that sends you 4-5 grooming, beauty, and lifestyle samples for just $10/month. When you sign up you take a style quiz and they send you products that best fit your profile. Both well-known and up-and-coming brands are included, all in generously sized multi-use samples.

Seedling currently has over 350 products and are always adding new ones. Each kit is designed to encourage exploration and open-ended play. They believe that there is no “right” or “wrong” way to complete the project and that it’s all about enjoying the creative process. [read more…]
I haven’t received a From the Lab box since February, so I kinda thought the subscription was gone for good. — Guess I thought wrong!
If you’re new to them, From the Lab is a monthly beauty box that sends you luxury brand beauty products at a drastically lower cost — months before they’re released to the US market. They source their products from some of the same beauty labs that luxury brands develop their lines in. However, they’re able to offer them at a much lower cost because they don’t do extensive marketing campaigns or worry about pretty packaging. This also allows them to get the products to you as early as 18 months before they hit store shelves. [read more…]

My July Fit Snack arrived a little later than usual, but it ended up being one of my favorite boxes they’ve sent, so it was worth the wait.
If you’re new to them, Fit Snack is a snack subscription box that’s curated to include 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).

GlobeIn‘s August 2015 Artisan box will be “Laundry” themed! And the first spoiler is out…
Every box will contain a set of 3 handmade 100% wool dryer balls (a $15 value)!
Wool dryer balls are a chemical-free and eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets and liquid fabric softener as they decrease drying time and naturally soften your clothes. Just toss them in with your clothes for more softness on the other side!
These dryer balls were handmade exclusively for GlobeIn’s customers in Kyrgyzstan, where wool is a way of life. (The country is world-famous for its shyrdak felt rugs.) The wool balls were made by artisans of Altyn Kol Women’s Cooperative. The cooperative employs over 1,000 craftswomen and serves as one of few sources of cash income available to the region’s remote farming and shepherding villages.
If you’d like to sign up for the GlobeIn artisan box, you can save 25% on your first month of a 3-month subscription when you use coupon code “WELCOME” at checkout!
