Citrus Lane Box Review - September
Darn you Facebook ads . . . you offer a coupon code to Citrus Lane and I caved!
Citrus Lane : care packages tailored to your little one! You tell them your baby's age and you'll get a monthly box filled with things for them (and sometimes a treat for yourself!) $25 / month w/ free shipping (if you sign up for 6-month, the price drops to $21 / month)
In a Charley Harper designed box (how cute!), I received the following:
- Charley Harper 123s (she loves books and really wanted to eat this one too!)
- Hug & Hide Stroller Toy from Skip Hop (we have tons of Skip Hop products so I was excited to see this)
- Playful Wash from Episencial
- Diaper Rash Ointment from Dr Smith's (sample size that you can throw in your diaper bag)
- Nail Polish from Julep (you know I love Julep already!)
Overall I loved the box I received - I feel like you get good value and there's some great things that my baby and I will enjoy! I'll definitely be continuing this box subscription for now!

Nature Box Review - September
Another box that I just got in the mail!
Nature Box : healthy snacks delivered to you! 5 full-sized packages for $19.95 / month with free shipping.
Mmmm, I'm a total snack queen, so the idea behind this box is perfect for me! I got the "discovery" package meaning that you can't select your snacks but if you continue your subscription, you can select the items yourself!
I received santa fe corn stix (tomato, green pepper and onion-flavored crips), sweet blueberry almonds, teriyaki twists (rice crackers w/ soy and a pinch of paprika), cocoa waffle wafers, and cherry berry bonanza (dried cranberries, cherries, and blueberries).
The packaging is great and I love that they're resealable pouches! I was envisioning the cocoa waffle wafers to be waffle-like cookies covered in chocolate but they're actually chocolate waffle wafers (like the name suggests)! They're very likely sweetened w/ cocoa and is very light tasting.
To me, the subscription pricing is a little pricey so I ended up cancelling my subscription after using my 50% first box coupon code (you have to call them to cancel). But I definitely did enjoy my box!

Conscious Box Review - September
Unfortunately, I've been getting in to subscription boxes lately. Something about a "mystery" box and discovering new products is very enticing to me, especially with all the free box coupons out there to try them out!
Conscious Box - discover the healthiest and most eco-friendly products every month
($19.95 / month w/ free shipping)
I received the following:
Mountain Red Deer Velvet Capsules
Gastro Dietary Supplement
K-Pax Energy Supplements x 5
Liquid Collagen Supplement
Kids Natural Calm Multi and Coupon Code
African Black Soap
Correctiv Facial One Step Complete Natural Skincare Sample
Nepali Tea Traders Ama Dablam White Tea
Sleepytime Kids Herbal Tea
Aquatowel
BioBag Sandwich Bag
BOPS Sea Salt Flavored Crisp
All About Trees Sticker and Coupon Code
SustainableKidz Coupon Code
Razor Care Company Coupon Code
There were an exorbitant amount of dietary supplements (which I don't take especially since I'm nursing!), the beauty samples were small and not enticing, the tea was ok, aquatowel and sandwich bag (really?!), and a lot of advertisement! The only thing that was "good" in this box was the BOPS potato chips which ended up not being all that tasty anyways!
Needless to say I promptly cancelled my subscription (you can do it via email at least). Luckily this was a "free" box (I had to pay $10 for shipping) but it's definitely filled with things I don't use and can't even give away!!

First Impressions: Tieks by Gavrieli
I must not be in the know since I've been holed up with the baby ~ but as soon as I re-entered back in to the working world, everyone has been talking about Tieks by Gavrieli! I have to stand for most of my working day and am an avid flats wearer so was definitely intrigued by these shoes!
Tieks \\, noun. The most versatile designer flats in the world. Made of the finest Italian leathers and designed to fold and fit in a purse. Wearable all day, every day.
