Try the World 2014 Holiday Edition Box Review & Discount

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

I haven’t reviewed a Try the World box since last summer, so I was excited when they recently offered to send me another box. A limited edition holiday box, to be specific. Fun!

Try the World is a subscription service that invites your taste buds to explore a new city every sixty days. Each box will include 7-10 locally made/grown gourmet goodies as well as cultural finds — such as music playlists and movie recommendations — produced in the city being featured. Subscriptions are $39 every 2 months, or less with longer commitments. [read more…]

Ecocentric Mom November/December 2014 “Mom & Baby Box” Review

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Ecocentric Mom time! I always look forward to this box for two reasons: One, it only comes every other month (the wait makes it more exciting). Two, I never know what’s going to be inside. It’s rare that I ever see a spoiler/review before receiving my box, so the contents always remain a mystery.

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 subscribe to the “Mom & Baby” box, but they also offer a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. [read more…]

Urthbox November 2014 Vegan Box Review & Discount

by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

I haven’t gotten an Urthbox since March so I was surprised when this November box just kinda showed up unexpectedly the other day. I’m not a fan of unexpected visitors, but snacks? Those can show up whenever the heck they want.

If you’re not aware, Urthbox is a monthly snack box that focuses on products that are natural, organic, and GMO-free. They have 4 different box options to choose from: Classic, Vegan, Gluten-free, and Diet. They also offer 3 different size choices: Small ($19/mo), Medium ($29/mo), and Large ($49/mo). They have gift options as well and shipping is always free. [read more…]

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Yep, I’ve finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and sign up for Birchbox! I had heard really good things about it and was curious if I’d enjoy it more than Ipsy. Plus, I also heard they had an awesome rewards system and was eager to check it out.

If you’re new to Birchbox (like me!), 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.

Citrus Lane November 2014 Review #2 + Black Friday Deal

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

As with the last few boxes I’ve reviewed, my November Citrus Lane box was also mega late due to the winter storm. It was totally worth the wait though, because I LOVE it!

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…]

Love With Food November 2014 Review & Black Friday Deal

by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

Phew! I didn’t think I’d ever see my November Love With Food box. First, they notified me that it would be late and credited my account with 200 points for the trouble. Then the winter storm hit and delayed the box even more. Finally it arrived yesterday, in a big ol’ heap of equally tardy boxes.

Love With Food is one of the most affordable subscriptions out there. — It’s only $10/month (plus $2 shipping) for their “Tasting” box (this one). They also have a “deluxe” box for $19.95/month (free shipping), as well as a 100% Gluten Free version. With every box purchased, Love With Food donates a meal to a person in need. [read more…]

Winter Storm 2014 aka The Week Without Subscription Boxes

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Thanks to the big record-breaking winter (autumn?) storm that hit the Buffalo area last week, I’m way behind on my subscription box reviews. I haven’t gotten any packages delivered and I can’t really review what I don’t have. (I’m not that awesome. Not yet, anyway.)

Luckily, when it was all said and done my neighborhood only got about 7 inches of snow. Other nearby not so fortunate areas of the city/’burbs got over 6 FEET. In-SANE! My brother-in-law was actually stuck on the thruway for over 8 hours. With no signs of getting rescued, he had to tunnel through the snow to seek shelter in a nearby hotel. Sadly, others weren’t so lucky. I believe there were a total of 13 storm-related deaths last week. Awful.

So on that note, I suppose as much as I’ve missed my mail delivery, things could have been a LOT worse.

With all that behind us… BRING ON THE BOXES!! 😉

It’s been a sloooow mail week here, thanks to the record-breaking winter storm that hit the Buffalo area. I haven’t gotten one subscription box all week (the horror!!). Thankfully, my mom got her Citrus Lane box and brought it over when she visited the girls yesterday. Mine was supposed to be here on Wednesday, but no sign of it yet… #bloggerproblems
