I wasn’t sure if I’d be seeing my October From the Lab beauty box to review this month, which is weird because I usually get it pretty early. For whatever reason, it decided to wait until Friday (the very last day of the month) to make its appearance. Better late than never, right? [read more…]

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!)

bluum October 2014 Review & 50% Discount
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
*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…]
