Primal Spirit Foods Primal Strips Review

April 11, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Growing up, I was never really a fan of jerky — mainly because I had no idea what kinda gross animal parts were lurking inside of ’em. Ew. However, now that I’m vegan jerky is no longer on my “nope, not eatin’ that” list. (Well, vegan jerky anyway.)

Primal Strips by Primal Spirit Foods are 100% vegan, meatless single-serve jerky strips that take the fear out of jerky. No gross animal bits in these guys!

Primal Strips are all-natural, low fat and made with non-GMO soy beans. They have 10 grams of protein per serving and zero cholesterol.

I was recently sent a sample pack for review in each of their 6 flavors. [read more…]

Baobest Baobab Foods Superfruit Review & Giveaway! Ends 4/30/14

April 11, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 25 Comments

Prior to reviewing the following products, I had no idea what baobab was. NO. IDEA. Hopefully I’m not alone in my baobab ignorance… Let’s learn together! Weeee! 😉

So what is baobab? It’s basically the “King of Superfruits”, that’s what! Produced by the African baobab tree, it’s a raw food that’s bursting with nutritional benefits. It has more antioxidants than the other more commonly known fruits — acai, blueberries, pomegranates and goji berries. Baobab is also packed with soluble fiber as well as high levels of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, iron, and even calcium!

Baobab Foods produces fruit cubes, fruit powders, and drink mixes that utilize this awesome superfood. Their line of Baobest baobab products makes it easy to reap its’ benefits in a convenient, delicious way. 🙂 [read more…]

Citrus Lane Mystery Box Review April 2014

April 10, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Citrus Lane recently offered a special “Mystery Box” for a one-time cost of $29. It promised to include $60 worth of products, so I had to order one. Try as I might, I just cannot resist the lure of a mystery box. Can not.

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 is only the second mystery box that Citrus Lane has ever offered (at least for as long as I’ve been a subscriber). The first one was for babies 0-12 months and sold out before I could even think of buying one. In hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t get that one, because they soon offered a mystery box for 12-24 month olds. That’s the box I’ll be reviewing. Let the mystery be revealed! [read more…]

April 9, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Stork Stack is a monthly subscription box for babies and kiddos from newborn through three years old. Each stack will include at least five high quality products for baby and mom.

Stork Stack is $27.99/month, but they recently offered a code (now expired) to get your first box for half off, so I decided to give it a try.

The box I received was geared towards a 20-month old girl. Let’s see what we got! [read more…]

Kreation Krate is a monthly subscription box for beginner to intermediate crafters. Each month you’ll receive all of the materials you need to make a fun DIY/craft project.

In addition to the main project, every Kreation Krate will also include a “Kind Craft”. This will be a bonus project that you make with the intention of passing it along to someone else as a random act of kindness. Such a neat idea!

Kreation Krate kindly sent me their debut box for review. Let’s have a look! [read more…]

Bike Loot March 2014 Review

April 7, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Bike Loot is a monthly subscription service that helps cyclists “ride longer and live healthier”. Each month you’ll receive 5 to 6 pro-level cycling products that span the areas of nutrition, maintenance, and personal care. Boxes start as low as $10/month (plus shipping).

As with last month’s box, I was thrilled to see that everything in March’s box is vegan-friendly (well, except for one product which contains honey). Bike Loot certainly doesn’t claim to be a vegan box, but it’s always a nice bonus (for me anyway) when the products are. Woo!

Alright, let’s see what they sent this time! [read more…]

Each month’s set of cards is based on a theme, which isn’t revealed until you receive them. My Sweet Carterie designs everything in house, so you’ll always be guaranteed to get a totally original piece of art!

I was recently sent two of My Sweet Carterie’s latest sets of cards for review. Let’s check ’em out! [read more…]

Chicks Dig Beards

April 5, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

After nearly two full years of growing it out, my husband has decided to shave his beard today.

I’m sad to see it go, but once I learned of the (adorable) infestation situation… Well, I knew it was time.

Farewell, beard.
Farewell, chicks. [read more…]

Ecocentric Mom “Mom & Baby” Box March 2014 Review

April 3, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Ecocentric Mom recently switched from a monthly box to an every-other-month box. This is the second box I’ve received on their new “schedule”. I’ve been pretty happy with the change, as the boxes are still full of great stuff and now I have more time to use them between shipments.

As always, I received the “Mom & Baby” box. The other two options available are a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. Subscriptions are $24/every-other-month, but they often have discount codes available that are usually good for the life of your sub. (I was able to score a discounted subscription not too long ago and now my boxes are only $18/month. Not bad!)

Let’s see what was inside this month! [read more…]
