2 Little RosebudsSubscription box reviews by a vegan mom of twins
Dollar Shave Club is a super affordable subscription that promises to deliver “a great shave for a few bucks a month”.
How affordable is “super affordable”, you ask? As low as $3 per month! That’s how flippin’ affordable. You have a choice of 3 different types of razor: The Humble Twin (2 blades, 5 cartridges) at $3/month, The 4X (4 blades, 4 cartridges) at $6/mo., or The Executive (6 blades, 4 cartridges) at $9/mo. All of those prices include shipping too! [read more…]

Square Hue is a nail polish subscription that delivers 3 full size, high quality polishes to your door every month.
A new collection is released every month to reflect the most current color trends. Each bottle is labeled with the actual date of the collection, so you know you’ll never get the same shade twice. [read more…]
Cairn is a newer subscription box geared towards hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys exploring nature and doesn’t mind gettin’ a little dirty.
Fun fact: The term “cairn” actually refers to a mound of stones built as a memorial or landmark, often seen on a hilltop or along a trail. I’ve seen these before (usually smooth stones piled on top of one another), and had no idea there was an actual name for ’em. Cool! [read more…]
Bonjour Jolie is a “time of the month” subscription that provides your monthly “necessities”, along with various treats, teas, pampering items, and even a special gift.
Boxes are just $16/month (plus shipping) and include up to 25 pads, tampons, or a mix of both. You’ll also receive feminine wipes and Advil, if you request it. Customization is important, so you can choose any combination of pads/tampons, in any brand. You can also notify them of any allergies that you may have so that they can personalize your treats and “extras” to your specific needs. [read more…]

bluum is one of my favorite boxes to open every month. Unlike most of the other “baby/kid” boxes, I never really know what’s going to be inside this one. The contents are based on the age of your kiddo, and boxes tend to vary a LOT. So it pretty much remains a mystery until it reaches my doorstep. (And I LOVE me some mystery boxes!)
For those who aren’t aware, bluum is a monthly subscription box for babies & kiddos from birth through age 5. Each box contains 5 or more products that are responsibly sourced, eco-friendly and often organic. [read more…]
The Sapphire Soul “Balance Box” is a unique monthly subscription that helps you “inspire your mind, take care of your body and open your soul”.
The box includes items such as candles, essential oils, jewelry, holistic wellness products, crystals, and more! All of the items are chosen to help you achieve happiness and balance for your mind, body, and soul. It’s definitely not your average subscription box. [read more…]
Dottiebox is a cute subscription service that features “high quality handmade items, small businesses, and indie brands”. The goodies you receive can be anything from household items and candles, to jewelry and beauty products — it’s always a surprise.
Dottiebox has two size options: The “original” Dottiebox ($20/mo) and the Dottiebox Mini (2-3 items at $13/mo). Due to the handmade nature of the items, boxes are limited and can easily sell out. [read more…]
My mom has yet to cancel her Citrus Lane subscription (woo!), so once again we got a second box this month. Yay!

Love With Food recently announced a 100% gluten-free box and I was lucky enough to be sent one for review. As with the regular “Tasting Box“, the theme this month is “Fun at the County Fair” and features healthier versions of traditional carnival/fair treats that are “fun for the whole family”.
Love With Food is only $10/month (plus $2 shipping) for their “Tasting” box, $19.95/month (free shipping) for the “Deluxe” box, and $32/month (free shipping) for this Gluten Free box. With every box purchased, Love With Food donates a meal to a person in need. Everyone wins!
This was their very first gluten-free box, so I was excited to see what was inside! [read more…]

Ivy Kids is a monthly activity box for children aged 3 through 8. It was founded by a certified early childhood educator, turned stay-at-home mom who had begun creating her own activities in order to entertain and educate her kiddos.

The games, projects, and crafts are all designed to “develop fine and gross motor muscles, build math and literacy skills, encourage reading comprehension, and promote scientific thinking”. All of the materials you’ll need are included right in your kit, as well as instructions and age modifications for each project. [read more…]
