Conscious Box June 2014 Review & Code for FREE Box!

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Conscious Box is a monthly subscription box that features eco-friendly/natural products. Items range from healthy snacks, to natural toothpaste, and everything in between. There are 3 different boxes to choose from: The Vegan Box (which I always get), The Gluten-Free Box, and the Classic Box.

Boxes were always $19.95/month, but they’ve recently announced 2 new box options: The Plus (as low as $16.95/mo) and the Taster (as low as $6.95/mo). Last month they began sending out their “new & improved” boxes that promised to included more full sized items. (You can see May’s review here.)

bluum June 2014 Review & Code for 50% Off First Box!

by Wendy Rose — 4 Comments

I knew my bluum box was going to be delivered today and I couldn’t wait to see what was inside. I hadn’t seen any spoilers this month, so I had no clue what I would find. Exciting!

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.

There used to be monthly “themes”, but they’ve moved away from that and instead curate each box based upon your child’s current age in months. bluum also recently joined forces with Stork Stack, so anyone who had a subscription with them (Stork Stack) will now be receiving boxes from bluum instead.

My girls are currently 22 months old, so the bluum box I received was for 23 months. Okay, let’s see what was in the big red box this time! [read more…]

Love With Food has partnered with 2 Degrees Food for their upcoming July box!

2 Degrees bars are all natural, gluten-free, and vegan! Yay! Oh, and they taste damn good too!

Like Love With Food, 2 Degrees is also dedicated to feeding the hungry. For every 2 Degrees bar sold, they donate a meal to a person in need. — Just like Love With Food does with their monthly boxes.

Thanks to this awesome partnership, LWF will be doubling the amount of meals donated for the month of July. Woohoo!

I was recently sent a sampler box of 2 Degrees bars for review before the July box is shipped. Let’s have a look! [read more…]

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

FabKids is a monthly clothing subscription for toddlers & older kiddos (sizes 2-12). Each month you get to choose a new 2-piece outfit from the selections on their site. There are plenty of different outfits to choose from (and mix n’ match) with more being added regularly, but if nothing appeals to you (or your little one), no problem! — You can totally skip a month… or two… or as many as you’d like. You’re never forced to buy anything. (I’ve been a member for almost a year now and have only ordered once or twice. It’s that easy to skip months!)

All 2-piece FabKids outfits are $29.95, but they also have separates that start at $14.95. New members can score their first outfit for just $15 shipped! There’s also a rewards system that allows members to earn points towards free clothes.

Every month you’ll get a box with 6-8 items that can include toys, gear, snacks, hardware, art, accessories, and more! Boxes are $19.37/month (price includes shipping), or less with longer subscriptions.

Last month I got a chance to review May’s Loot Crate (which was themed “Adventure!”) and my husband loved it! He was actually just sporting his new Zelda shirt yesterday. I love that I’ve finally found a subscription that even he enjoys! Yay!

June’s theme is “Transform!”. I had heard rumors of yet another exclusive t-shirt this month… Were they right? Read on, friend! [read more…]

Citrus Lane June 2014 Review & Code for $20 Off 1st Box!

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

*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“.*

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.

This month’s Citrus Lane box included products to help celebrate the start of summer. I had seen a few spoilers, so I had an idea of what would be in my box, but I’m never 100% sure what I’ll get… Which is kinda the whole point of subscription boxes, right? 😉

Our box is geared towards a 22-month year old girl and here’s what was inside… [read more…]

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

love

Monthly Love is a newer “time of the month” subscription box that sends you snacks, pampering products, and a little gift along with your choice of feminine products.

A portion of every month’s profit is donated to a cause or charity that’s often associated with the particular month. For June, they decided to focus on heat waves and how to protect yourself from them during the upcoming summer months. A portion of their profits this month will be donated to the American Red Cross. (Last month’s cause was skin cancer awareness and donations were made to the Skin Cancer Foundation.)

Monthly Love boxes are $30/month and shipping is always free.

Vegan Presence June 2014 Review – The Final Month

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

vegan

Welp, the time has come… This is the final Vegan Presence package. They announced a few months back that the subscription would be coming to an end in June, and here we are.

Vegan Presence is was a monthly subscription box service that featured — you guessed it — 100% vegan-friendly products. Items ranged from food to beauty to household essentials. I looked forward to their packages every month and am mega bummed that the fun is over.

That said, I was hoping for an amazing “final package” of goodies, but was kinda underwhelmed. To be honest, I’m actually sorta happy about it though. Softens the blow a bit.

Alright… Let’s have a look at June’s offerings! [read more…]

Love With Food June 2014 Review & Code for FREE Box!

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Love With Food time again! I feel like I just reviewed May’s box… The theme this month is “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”. I’m not a fan of baseball (or sports in general… but baseball is extra snooze-worthy to me)… However, I can definitely appreciate these healthier versions of typical ballpark fare.

Love With Food is only $10/month (plus $2 shipping) for their “standard” box (this one). They also have a “deluxe” box for $19.95/month (free shipping). With every box purchased, Love With Food donates a meal to a person in need. Everyone wins! Also — for their upcoming July box, they’re teaming up with 2 Degrees Food and donating twice the amount of boxes!

Okay, let’s see what was inside June’s box! [read more…]

Sockwork is a monthly sock subscription that not only allows you to rock some awesome socks, but also support a good cause at the same time.

Every month you’ll get 2 pair of designer socks from Richer Poorer. You just choose your subscription type (men’s or women’s), your style (pro, fun, or mix), and term (monthly, 3, 6, or 12 month sub)… Then wait for the sock-y goodness to arrive at your doorstep.

Sockwork is veteran owned and operated, so it’s fitting that 10% of each month’s profits is donated to a different non-profit veteran organization. Awesome!

I was recently sent a box o’ socks to review… Let’s have a look! [read more…]

Ipsy Glam Bag June 2014 Review

by Wendy Rose — 4 Comments

ipsy

Ipsy is a beauty subscription that sends subscribers a monthly “Glam Bag” full of cosmetics and beauty accessories. This is my third month with them (you can see my other reviews here).

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.

Ipsy is only $10/month and offers a nice rewards program that gives you points for reviewing your products and referring friends to join. Points can be redeemed for “bonus items” in your next bag. Awesome!

Ipsy sends a lot of different variations each month, so you’ll see that other subscribers got totally different products than you did. Hopefully your beauty quiz answers match you with products that most meet your needs… Did they do a good job matching me up with mine? Let’s see! [read more…]

Orange Glad Sweet Box June 2014 Review & Discount Code

orange

Orange Glad is a monthly subscription box that features gourmet desserts. Cookies, brownies, cakes, candies — if you’ve got a taste for sweets, this is totally a box for you!

Orange Glad carefully selects the yummiest treats from sweets shops and bakeries all over the country. Each dessert box will contain five deluxe gourmet treats delivered fresh to your door. The info card indicates when you should eat each treat in order to ensure maximum freshness.

I was recently sent June’s Sweet Box for review, and while I didn’t expect any of the items to be vegan (they’re not), I was still excited to see what was inside. (Plus I love giving my family all the goodies that I can’t eat!) Alright, let’s see what they sent this month! [read more…]

Lunch Balancer Healthy Meal Box Review & 25% Discount Code

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

lunch

Lunch Balancer is a premier subscription service that delivers a monthly box of healthy foods — enough for 5 meals — right to your door.

The meals are put together by Dr. Gabe Smolarz (an endocrinologist) and Sari Smolarz (a clinical nutritionist) and are centered around high protein, low carb foods. Everything comes in convenient, single-serve packages to make it super easy to eat good on the go. Because the focus is on high protein/low carb, you’ll feel more full and satisfied, and therefore less likely to snack between meals. So if you’re looking to drop a few pounds, this box might help you get on the right track.

Lunch Balancer consists of roughly 20 or so food items, all of which are labeled with a colored dot. The inner lid has a chart that lists all of the items, broken into groups based on the dot colors. Each color equals a full meal. (This will probably make more sense further into the review. It’s a simple concept, I promise!)

Alright, let’s see what’s in the box! [read more…]
