2 Little RosebudsSubscription box reviews by a vegan mom of twins
Love With Food time again! September’s theme is “Spice Up Your Life” and features snacks with a little spicy kick.
Love With Food is 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 new Gluten Free version. With every box purchased, Love With Food donates a meal to a person in need. Everyone wins! [read more…]
Bulu Box is a monthly subscription box that introduces you to new health, nutrition, and weight loss products. Each box contains 4 to 5 premium samples from a wide range of top brands. Since supplements and weight loss products can be pretty pricey, this is a great box for those who like to “try before you buy”.
There are two different box themes to choose from: The “regular” box and the weight loss box. Both boxes are just $10 a month with free shipping. There’s also a great reward points program that makes it easy (and cheap) to purchase more products. — Each box usually has about 5 products, and when you review them you’ll get 50 points (10 for each product). 50 points = $5.00 to spend on your favorite products in their online shop!
I was recently sent September’s Bulu Box (weight loss) for review. Here’s what was inside… [read more…]
MissionCute is a fun monthly subscription box that features unique products from smaller, independent artists and businesses. Their motto is “Making a difference one box of cute stuff at a time” and every month they donate 50% of their net proceeds to a different nonprofit organization. [read more…]
Steepist is a new subscription box for tea lovers. Every month you’ll receive a selection of four different samples from a variety of brands.
Only the finest, high quality organic teas are chosen for inclusion in each shipment. Every resealable sample bag contains enough tea for 4 to 5 servings, though some teas are labeled “multi-steep” and can be stretched for even more servings. [read more…]
Sun Twist is a new subscription box company that offers boxes for babies, toddlers, and moms. They’re family owned and promise to send you “4-6 items of the best products” that they can find. (More on that later.)
They offer a Baby/Kid’s box ($18/month), a Candle Addiction box ($24/mo.), a Mommy box ($22/mo.), and a Jewelry box ($22/mo.). Shipping is not included.
I had heard a lot of buzz about this company not being “legit”, so I was curious to see what was up. I didn’t want to believe internet gossip before I had a chance to see a box for myself. I contacted Sun Twist about a review, and this is the box I was sent for a 2-year old girl… [read more…]
I love Citrus Lane delivery week! (Even though it was delayed a day…) Totally worth the wait!
For those who still don’t know, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids aged newborn-5. It’s $29/month (cheaper with longer subs) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom. [read more…]
Foodstirs is a fun “food crafting” kit designed for kids ages 5 through 12. Each kit contain recipes, dry ingredients, cooking & craft tools, food fact cards, and more.
You can choose to purchase individual themed kits, or opt for a 3- or 6-month “series”: The Culinarian (3-month series, $29.99/mo.) sends your little one a new kit every month with new recipes to explore and more skills to learn. It also includes an original Foodstirs bandana! The Sous Chef (6-month series, $27.99/mo.) includes a new kit every month for 6 months, as well as a bandana and certificate of completion with the last kit. [read more…]
Ipsy is a beauty subscription that sends subscribers a monthly “Glam Bag” full of cosmetics and beauty accessories for just $10/month. I’ve been a subscriber for about 6 months now (you can see my other reviews here) and am always impressed by the value.
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…]
After seeing so many great reviews, last month I finally gave in and signed up for a Popsugar Must Have subscription. Once the September spoilers started coming in I knew I had picked a good time to start! Yay!
Popsugar Must Have is a monthly lifestyle subscription box that’s curated with super 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 teeny samples here!

From the Lab is a monthly beauty box that sends you luxury brand beauty products at a drastically lower cost — months before they’re released to the US market.
From the Lab gets its products from some of the same beauty labs that luxury brands develop their lines in. However, they’re able to offer them at a lower cost since they don’t do extensive marketing campaigns or worry about pretty packaging. This also allows them to get the products to you as early as 18 months before they hit store shelves. [read more…]
Kloverbox is a brand new (this is their 2nd month) subscription box featuring eco-friendly products for your body and home. Products will range anywhere from snacks and personal products to makeup, household goods, and more! The purpose of the box is to introduce you to “cleaner” versions of the products you use on a daily basis.
Kloverbox is $25/month (shipping included) or less with longer commitments. (Keep reading for an exclusive 10% discount code!) [read more…]
DoodleBug Busy Bags is a newer subscription from Kidable Adventures (the company behind Little Thinker Box).
Bags are aimed at children ages 3 through 8 and contain all of the materials needed to complete 4 to 8 fun crafts. Each bag will focus on a different theme, often relating to upcoming holidays or seasons. Monthly subscriptions are just $15.99 and include free shipping.
I was recently sent August’s DoodleBug Busy Bag for review, so let’s see what was inside! [read more…]
BooksTo.Me is a neat subscription service that sends you a printed photo book of your latest Instagram images on a monthly basis.
The process is super simple. — You just sign up for the service and a few days later, you’ll receive your first book using the photos you’ve posted over the past month. If there’s some images that you’d rather not include (food close-ups, regrams, regretful selfies), you can omit them from the book simply by tagging the photo “#noBTM”. Easy peasy! [read more…]
Send Me Gluten Free is a brand new subscription service that offers a monthly box of gluten-free goodies delivered right to your door!
While the monthly box may be new, the folks behind Send Me Gluten Free have been heavily involved in the gluten free community for quite some time. They’ve been hosting Gluten & Allergen Free Expos since 2007 and consider this new venture to be sort of like “an expo in a box” for those who aren’t able to attend their expos. — An easy alternative way to discover great new gluten-free products in the convenience of their own homes.

Andrea Schroder first began making candles in her kitchen as gifts for friends. She used only the best, all natural ingredients and subtle scents, so it was only right that she would begin offering her goods to a much larger circle… A circle that apparently includes me. (Okay, and anyone else who visits her site.) 😉
Her Candle of the Month Club features one 10.5 ounce candle whose scent reflects the month and season in which it’s delivered. All candles are made with natural coconut oil and essential oils. They contain absolutely no yucky toxins or artificial dyes. [read more…]
