Ecocentric Mom March/April 2015 Review

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Ecocentric Mom time! I keep telling myself to switch over to the “mom” version of the box, but I’m just not ready to give up the cutesy baby things (or admit that my 2 1/2 year olds aren’t babies anymore!).

If you’re unaware, Ecocentric Mom is a unique subscription box that features mom & baby products that are eco-friendly, natural, organic, and often vegan-friendly. There are 3 different box options to choose from. I (still) subscribe to the “Mom & Baby” box, but they also offer a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. They also recently announced a new “Ecocentric Box” for women in general (moms and non-moms alike!).

Ipsy Glam Bag March 2015 Review

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

It’s finally Spring! So it only makes sense that Ipsy’s theme for March is “Floral Fantasy”. Peace out, snow.

If you’re new here, Ipsy is a beauty subscription that sends subscribers a monthly “Glam Bag” full of cosmetics and beauty accessories for just $10/month. When you sign up, you take a “beauty quiz” to determine your likes/dislikes, makeup preferences, etc. This helps Ipsy learn which products to send in your Glam Bag. Each bag will contain 4-6 full sized and deluxe sample sized products from top cosmetics brands. [read more…]

Loot Crate March 2015 “Covert” Review & Coupon Code

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Loot Crate unboxing time! The theme for March is “Covert” and pays tribute to secret agents, spies, missions, and things of that nature. Not really my cup o’ tea, but I’ll try to keep an open mind.

If you’re new here, Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box for fans of gamer/geek culture. Every month you’ll get a box packed with 6-8 items that can include toys, gear, snacks, hardware, art, accessories, and more! (They’ve even been sending limited edition Loot Crate exclusive items!) Boxes are $19.37/month (price includes shipping), or less with longer subscriptions. [read more…]

OwlCrate March 2015 “Fantasy” Review

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

OwlCrate is a brand new subscription box for fans of young adult novels. Every month will be centered around a different theme and contain not only a newly published hardcover book, but a handful of other fun book-related goodies as well.

OwlCrate is run by a cute couple from Vancouver, BC who are self proclaimed “massive book geeks”. They founded this subscription in order to bring together fellow book nerds and spread the magic of the written word throughout the world. It’s their belief that no one is ever too old to enjoy young adult novels and it’s totally acceptable to fall in love with fictional characters. 🙂 [read more…]

BuddhiBox March 2015 Review & Coupon Code

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

I recently found out that BuddhiBox has started offering their subscribers a vegan box option. How cool is that? When you sign up, you simply check a box indicating that you prefer vegan items and you’re good to go. Easy peasy!

If you’re new to them, BuddhiBox is a subscription box that focuses on yoga and healthy living. Each month you’ll receive 4-6 full sized products to assist in your yoga practice, as well as everyday life. All products are from ethical, socially conscious companies and a portion of all boxes sold is donated to a different non-profit organization every month. [read more…]

POPSUGAR Must Have March 2015 Review & Coupon Code

by Wendy Rose — 3 Comments

I wasn’t too impressed when I initially saw the spoilers for the March POPSUGAR Must Have box, so I wasn’t all that excited when it arrived at my door. I think I got a little spoiled by the awesomeness that was February’s box. Ah well…

If you’re new here, POPSUGAR Must Have is a monthly lifestyle subscription box that’s curated with a fun variety of “on trend” products curated by the POPSUGAR team. Items can range from food, beauty, household, fashion, fitness gear and everything in between. Unlike a lot of other subscription boxes, everything in this box is full sized. No foil packets in this bad boy. [read more…]

Citrus Lane March 2015 Review, Free Gift with Purchase, & Coupon Code

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

I still haven’t received my own March Citrus Lane box yet, but my mom got hers a couple days ago… This seems to happen a lot and makes absolutely no sense since we live all of 20 minutes apart. Anywho, she brought it along today when she stopped over to visit the kiddos. Thanks, mom!

If you haven’t heard, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids aged newborn-5. It’s $29/month (less with longer term subscriptions) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom. It’s by far one of my favorite boxes to open each month. [read more…]

Sjaak’s Vegan Chocolates Easter 2015 Review

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Spring is (finally!) almost here and Easter is a little over 2 weeks away… What better way to celebrate the changing season and upcoming holiday than with chocolate! (Vegan chocolate, of course.) Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates kindly sent me a sampling of their holiday-themed confections to “tastefully” ring in the new season.

I’ve been a big (BIG) fan of Sjaak’s for a couple years now. I first discovered them in a subscription box (the now defunct Vegan Presence, I believe), and they’ve since been featured in a few others. They’re a family-owned business dedicated to producing high quality confections while maintaining socially responsible practices. All of Sjaak’s handcrafted treats are created with the finest organic, non-GMO ingredients. [read more…]

Kloverbox tiiiime! This continues to be one of my favorite “green” subscriptions and it certainly doesn’t hurt that the value is always ridiculously high. 😉

Birchbox March 2015 Review & $10 Coupon Code

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Time to see what’s in my March Birchbox! Like last month, I wasn’t too stoked about the sample choices we got (subscribers get to choose one of their samples from a selection of 3 products). Still, it’s always fun to see what else will be in the box.

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.

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Taste Guru is a monthly subscription box dedicated to the gluten-free lifestyle. While I don’t personally follow a gluten-free diet, I do enjoy a good snack box.

Taste Guru provides 6 to 9 totally gluten-free goodies in each of their monthly boxes. Items can include snacks, baking mixes, granola, condiments, and more. They also like to include one or two non-food items as well as a chef-inspired recipe (gluten-free, of course!). [read more…]
