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…]

Emmy’s Organics Vegan Macaroon Review & Giveaway! Ends 1/31/14

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…]

Caffe Borsa Coffee Review & Giveaway! Ends 1/27/14

January 8, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 13 Comments

I was recently given an opportunity to review an innovative new coffee product — Caffe Borsa Hand Drip Coffee Packets! I love me some coffee, so I happily accepted their offer. (They’re also letting me host a giveaway for my readers — woohoo!)

Caffe Borsa’s Hand Drip Coffee is a neat alternative to instant coffee — it’s portable, convenient, eco-friendly and actually tastes good too! Each packet is basically its own little brewing system. You simply open it up, attach it to your mug, fill with hot water, and bam! — Fresh coffee!

I’ll be honest, I’m a K-cup addict and LOVE my Keurig. However, I totally would have taken these to work back in my proofreading days. (We had godawful vending machine coffee and it was beyond bad.) Since I’m not currently a workin’ woman, I think I’m going to bring a few of these over to my non-coffee drinkin’ sister’s house to stash there for when I have a coffee craving. They’d also be great for camping and traveling… Or any situation that lacks decent coffee.

Alright, so I tried the packets out for the first time the other day and decided to take photos of the process. Aaaand… here they are! (Forgive my chipped nail polish and dry skin — my hands weren’t exactly prepared for this particular photoshoot. 😉 ) [read more…]

A Little Bundle December 2013 Review

January 5, 2014 by Wendy Rose — 5 Comments

A Little Bundle is a new(ish) subscription service that delivers fun and functional products for mommas and babies up to 2 years old. Every bundle consists of at least 4 carefully chosen items for you and your little one.

A Little Bundle selects only the best products to include each month — all items are non-toxic, beautifully crafted, and preferably natural and/or organic. Many are from small/independent businesses, and because of this, it’s unlikely that two boxes are entirely the same. Good news for those of you who try to avoid seeing spoilers — your contents remain a surprise until you open your ~~box~~ bundle! 🙂

Needless to say, I was pretty damn excited when A Little Bundle agreed to send me one of their boxes for review. I had seen some of their previous boxes and they were awesome!

So what did I get? Let’s have a look-see… [read more…]

I was super excited to receive December’s “Winter Wonderland” themed box, since I’m a big fan of all things winter. Especially snowmen. Love ’em. That said, this box did not disappoint. Snowman-related activities galore! [read more…]

Citrus Lane December 2013 Review & Discount Code

December 24, 2013 by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

*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“.*

My Citrus Lane box never showed the right tracking info this month, so I had no idea when (or if) I would receive it. After seeing box after box being reviewed by other bloggers, I finally discovered my un-trackable friend sitting on our doorstep yesterday afternoon. Welcome home, buddy!

If you don’t already know, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids (aged newborn-5). It’s $25/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 this month. Boo.)

The theme for December is “making memories” and my box is geared towards a 17-month old girl. [read more…]

Conscious Box December 2013 Review & Code for Free Box!

December 22, 2013 by Wendy Rose — 4 Comments

Conscious Box time! First, I wanna say that the quality of my photos has been totally lacking lately and I apologize. It’s winter & the mail usually doesn’t come until it’s dark out, thus I’m stuck without any natural light. Our current mishmash of fluorescent bulbs, mixed with incandescents, mixed with Xmas lights isn’t quite the ideal setting for photographs. Secondly, my Conscious Box was freakin’ awesome this month!

If you’re not aware, 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 get), The Gluten-Free Box, and the Classic Box. All boxes are $19.95/month, but you can almost always find a coupon code — often up to 50% off!

Okay, onto the goods! [read more…]
