2 Little Rosebuds

Peter Rabbit Organics Review & Giveaway! Ends 2/28

February 5, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 39 Comments

When I first learned that I was pregnant, I totally envisioned myself lovingly cooking (er, steaming) up homemade purees for my baby… Going to the farmer’s market, buying fresh organic produce… Only the best for my little rosebud, right? Well, that was until I was informed that my single “rosebud” was actually two “rosebuds“. And homemade purees, well… they didn’t seem quite as magical.

Thankfully, brands like Peter Rabbit Organics made for a damn good Plan B.

Peter Rabbit’s fruit and veggie pouches are all made with 100% organic ingredients. They contain no added sugar, salt, or artificial preservatives — just yummy blends of fruits and vegetables. Lemon juice is the only “extra” ingredient, used to help preserve flavor and freshness.

My girls LOVED these pouches and the samples that were provided were devoured in no time. [read more…]

Color Me Monthly January 2014 Review

February 5, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

Color Me Monthly is a fun nail polish subscription service that sends one seasonal color to you every month.

All of their polishes are “free of toluene, formaldehyde/formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and camphor” — aka non-toxic. Animal testing is also a big no-no (their polishes are vegan!) and they try to work with vendors who share that sentiment. Awesome!

Oh, and did I mention that Color Me Monthly is only $7/month (shipping included)? Double awesome!

I was sent their January “box” for review and was excited to see what color I’d get. Let’s have a look! [read more…]

Urthbox January 2014 Review

February 3, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 5 Comments

Urthbox is a relatively new subscription box that delivers healthy foods, snacks, and beverages right to your door every month.

Urthbox focuses on products that are natural, organic, and GMO-free. They have 4 different box options to choose from: Classic, Vegan, Gluten-free, and Diet. Whichever box you choose, you’ll receive at least 10 products from a variety of health-conscious companies. Boxes are $25/month and shipping is free. Oh, and they also have a great rewards program that gives you credits to use in their soon to be opened online shop!

I was supposed to receive the Vegan box, but there was a mixup and I was sent the “Classic” one instead. To make up for it, Urthbox is going to send me February’s Vegan box, so stay tuned for that review in the coming weeks!

Okay, onto the snacky-snack-snacks! [read more…]

Ecocentric Mom “Baby” Box January 2014 Review & Discount Code

January 28, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 5 Comments

Ecocentric Mom recently switched from a monthly box to an every-other-month box. I was a little bummed about it at first, but I’m kinda happy about the change now. It saves me money and gives me more time to use up the products before the next box arrives.

As always, I received the “Mom & Baby” box this month. The other two options available are a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. Subscriptions are $24/box, but they often have discount codes available that are often 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!)

Right now (until 2/15!), you can get 10% off a new subscription when you click here and use promo code “ECOMOM10%OFF”.

Okay, let’s see what I got! [read more…]

Austin Lloyd January 2014 Review & Discount Code

January 26, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 3 Comments

Austin Lloyd is a great new(ish) subscription box for little ones. They offer unique, high-end toys selected specifically for your child’s current “play level”. I was lucky enough to be sent a review box this past November (which I LOVED), and even luckier to have won January’s box via a blog giveaway. Woo!

Austin Lloyd is committed to providing toys that are not only engaging, but also bpa & phthalate free. None of the toys will ever require batteries and the total value of the items will always exceed the cost of your box. Awesome! Oh, did I mention that they also give you the option of sending your toys back once you’ve outgrown them so they can donate them to a charity? Yep. They do that too.

Every box contains 4-5 toys and at least 1 book. Month-to-month subscriptions are $49.99 (or less with a 6-month commitment) and shipping is always free.

The box I received was for a play level of 19-24 months. (They range from 0 months to 3 years.) January’s theme was “music” and I couldn’t wait to see what we got! [read more…]

Nibblr Snack Box Review and (4 Box!) Giveaway! Ends 2/10/14

January 23, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 32 Comments

Nibblr is a new snack subscription that offers a variety of portion-controlled snacks delivered to your door weekly, bi-weekly, or once a month (it’s up to you!). They currently have over 50 different snack mixes, ranging from fruit & nut blends, to “feel good sweets”, to more savory choices.

Nibblr offers a cool rating system on their site so that you can choose which types of snacks you’d most like to try, as well as which ones you just wanna avoid altogether. I used the system to weed out all of the non-vegan snacks, and it totally worked! All of the snacks I received were ones that I had rated “Love It”. (The non-vegan ones were rated with “No Thanks”.) You can also view and rate snacks based on their calorie content (under 150 calories vs. over). Neat!

So let’s take a look at what vegan-friendly snacks I received! [read more…]

Citrus Lane January 2014 Review & 50% Off Discount Code

January 16, 2014 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

Citrus Lane? Already?! I normally get my box around the 22nd, so seeing that it was out for delivery today was quite a nifty surprise. Nifty gallifty. (Yep, I’m using Daniel Tiger references now. I’m a total mom.)

If you don’t already 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. (Not in the last couple months. Boo.)

January’s box was loosely themed with “items that will remind you that spring is right around the corner”. Erm, okay… If you say so, Citrus Lane. 😉 This month’s offerings were tailored to an 18-month old girl. Let’s see what’s inside! [read more…]

January 15, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 31 Comments

I was recently given a generous (and delicious!) opportunity to sample some vegan macaroons from Emmy’s Organics. I had actually heard of them for a while now, but have yet to try them myself. So, as a longtime vegan and an even longer time fan of snacks in general, I was beyond excited when these little treats arrived at my doorstep.

Emmy’s macaroons are not only vegan, but also 100% gluten-free and made with raw, non-GMO ingredients. Awesome!

Okay, let’s talk about flavors… There’s 7 of ’em: Mint Chip, Choco Chili, Lemon Ginger, Dark Cacao, Coconut Vanilla, Chai Spice, and Choco Orange. They also currently have a limited edition flavor — Mocha! Mmmm!

I was lucky enough to be able to sample each of the flavors and they were all a-maaazing! [read more…]
