BuddhiBox November 2014 Review & Exclusive Discount

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

BuddhiBox is a brand new subscription box that focuses on yoga and healthy living. Each month you’ll receive 4-6 products (a mix of samples and full sized items) 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.

I’m always excited to check out new subscription boxes, so when my BuddhiBox arrived I couldn’t wait to tear it open. This box doesn’t ship until November 10th, so since I got mine ahead of time I had no idea what would be inside. [read more…]

Darby Smart October 2014 Review “To DIY For” Box

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

I’ve been getting Darby Smart’s “To DIY For” box for a couple months now and am finally getting around to reviewing one. — October’s project was just way too cool not to share here. Plus, I’m kinda impressed by how well I did with it. (Hey, it’s a big deal for someone as craft-challenged as I am!)

Darby Smart is a DIY/craft box that has project kits for everyone — from simple beaded bracelets and candle kits, to mosaic coasters and personalized totes. The kits contain everything you need to complete your project and prices start at just $6! You can subscribe to their monthly “To DIY For” box, or purchase a one-time kit from their shop. Lots of neat projects are always available. (They’ve been slowly releasing holiday-themed projects, which I’m super excited about. I love anything relating to the holidays.) [read more…]

Citrus Lane October 2014 Review #2 and 25% Off Discount

by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

Oh hey — It’s another October Citrus Lane review! This is actually the third box I received this month — the first one was my “regular” box, the second was a mystery box, and this one is the box my mom subscribes to. Triple the goodies!

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…]

bluum October 2014 Review & 50% Discount

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

bluum is one of my favorite baby/kid boxes. They always have a good (though sometimes kinda random) selection of products and the value far exceeds the cost of the subscription every month.

If you’re new here, bluum is a monthly subscription box for babies & kiddos from birth through age 5. Each box contains five or more products that are responsibly sourced, eco-friendly and often organic. The contents are based on the age of your kiddo in months, so boxes tend to vary a LOT. I really love this about bluum, since I’m never really sure just what I’ll see when I open their big red box. [read more…]

Citrus Lane Mystery Box October 2014 Review & Discount

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“.*

A few weeks ago, Citrus Lane released another round of mystery boxes. I had enough credits in my account to cover the box, so I decided to grab the “Toddler Girl — Goodbyn” one.

Citrus Lane mystery boxes are almost always $29 and promise to include $60 worth of age-appropriate items. They usually offer a box for each age group and gender and just one item is revealed for each box — sort of like a teaser — and the rest remains a mystery until it’s delivered. [read more…]

Ipsy Glam Bag October 2014 Review

by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

I received my October Ipsy Glam Bag last week and was happy to see that the one item I was really hoping I’d receive was indeed inside. Score! It was even in the scent I was hoping for too. Double score!

If you’re not aware, 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…]

Love With Food time already?! I can’t believe October is more than halfway over. Cray-zee! Anywhooo, the theme this month is “Monster Mash” and promises some spook-tastic treats.
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 newer Gluten Free version. With every box purchased, Love With Food donates a meal to a person in need. [read more…]
