Birchbox November 2014 Review & Final Chance for Black Friday Deal

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!!).

Bluum November 2014 Review & Discount

by Wendy Rose — 5 Comments

I was excited when my November bluum box was delivered before I even got a shipping notification. Unfortunately, the excitement ended there…

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…]
