Bath Time Box: February First Box Review!

Bath Time Box is a brand new subscription box from Canada! Monthly subscriptions start at $29.00, shipping included. Every box will include 5 full and deluxe sized products. I just received the first ever box in the mail and it did not disappoint! The box arrived on my step and it smelled amazing and was heavier than I expected bath products would be!

Va Va Voom Vanilla Bath Bomb-$6.75

This was the first product I tried and it smelled deliciously of vanilla and fizzed up great in the bath!

Mango Madness Sugar Scrub-$10.00

This body scrub was also used immediately so I smelled awesomely of mango and vanilla! I have to talk about the scent because some products smell awful or are too strong so even if they work wonders I don’t want to use them. Not the case with this month’s Bath Time Box. I also wanted to add in that this scrub is really great and thick. Other scrubs have become separated because there is so much oil. This scrub is completely different and it is very dense. It made my skin smooth and didn’t irritate it.

Pamper Me Clay Soap-$6.75

This is made with two clays and can be used on face and body. I know some people have a preference when it comes to soap and body wash. Personally I love using both and can’t wait to try this!

Hawaiian Gardenia Bath Salts-$10.75

I love Gardenias, it’s one of my favorite flowers! I can’t wait to pour this in and soak in the tub.

Tub Love Bath Truffles-$?

This is made with cocoa and shea butter. It smells very strongly of cocoa butter so I am holding out using this until my poor winter wrecked skin really needs it! I can only dream of the wonderful smooth skin that could come from a bath using this.

Oh how I love bath products, and how I love this box. My go to stress relief is to take a bath. Normally I get gifts from Lush but I find them to be completely overpriced and overrated. This box isn’t cheap. But in one month’s box I can spread it out to last me longer than a month, and then I wouldn’t have to get one every month.Although I would hate not to since I take a lot of baths! All of the products are all natural and homemade with love, another plus. Considering that it ships from Canada I think $29 a month is reasonable for 5 amazing products. Im a fan, has anyone else tried this box or know of any other great bath boxes or brands? If your looking for a great gift for yourself or special someone go check out Bath Time Box!

Sugarbash Reveal!

Sugarbash is a super new women’s subscription box. Frankly it is so new that I couldn’t even find a review of it online. Since I was dying to know what was in it I asked them if they would send a box for me to review. Lucky me they said yes! Sugarbash boxes are valued at typically 50-60 dollars and sell for $25. Only full size items are included and from a variety of brands. Their goal is to let subscribers try products before making a purchase. The more feedback from subscribers the better they plan on personalizing future boxes. So here it is! A reveal of what you’ll get in a box from Sugarbash:

First look, lots of variety.

Treats from the Popcorn Factory

There was a bag of jelly beans and a caramel turtle included, of course any kind of sugar is welcome in our house. Nothing wrong with sweets in a subscription box.

Kuhn Rikon Swiss Vegetable Peeler, $8.00

This is cute and I love the color. I am hoping it works well because Id like to replace my old boring black peeler.

Cotton Towels from WTowels.com, $4.00

These little towels are cute and are coming with me to the gym. A nice refreshing towel will be nice to cool down after a hard workout. I am hoping the different scents will be subtle and I can’t wait to try the make up remover.

Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum, $60 and FULL SIZE!

This serum gets good reviews and I am super happy to have gotten it in this box from Sugarbash. It’s supposed to help clear and prevent the appearance of sun spots. I have some discoloration on my face so we shall see how this works for me. Since it is full size I have plenty of product to use to see results.

Dianne Reeves, A Beautiful Life, $15.00

Sorry no picture is included from me, my daughter goes wild for subscription boxes and took it before I could take a picture. I am excited to find it and take it with us in the car. Dianne reeves has positive reviews and is a jazz artist which I like.

Helios Self Tanning Towel, $15.00

I have never heard of this brand before, but I am excited to try it. I am also scared because Im not too great with self tanner. This product gets good reviews on Amazon. One review said that they reused it a few times to deepen their tan. It seems fairly easy to use and hopefully will leave me tan and streak free. Im going to save it for our next vacation to Florida so Im not so ghostly white!

This box had lots of different products and I am really satisfied with the variety and quality. The value was way above the special price of $25 that is listed right now. I am going to be using all of these products and am always happy to try some new brands. If you are interested in a hint for March’s theme here it is: You will want this box for your spring break ! Dont forget to use discount code Spring !

*All prices estimated based on internet search. This box was given to me for free in exchange for my honest review.

Black Friday is Coming! Awesome Subscription Box Deals Now!

Is anyone else freaked out by the fact that it’s already going to be December? It’s cold and getting colder, the mall already playing the Christmas music. There is nothing left of Thanksgiving themed items in stores, even though I wanted to pick up some things. But everywhere else Christmas trees are coming out and even a few neighbors have put up decorations. My family and I just got back from vacation and already it’s going to be Thanksgiving this week. Let’s just say I found a few Halloween decorations that had to be put away and I have not yet figured out what I need for our meal Thursday. Yikes! At least Black Friday is also happening this week. Now that is shopping made easy, especially since nowadays I don’t have to wait out in line the night before and campout! I can just shop online cozied up under a blanket with some hot coco.

Subscription box deals have been increasingly popping up this week. I love my boxes in the mail and they make wonderful gifts. Snatch up a great deal on a box and you can cross a name of your list. Here are some good ones I’ve seen:

I want to know what else is going to be on sale this week. Anyone making a jump on any of the deals? Or spotted a really good one?

Blog Update

Hello!

It has been too long since I have been able to post anything since I have had no internet! Our family recently moved and it has taken us a long time to get our internet working. Poor P had to come with us to pick up the equipment and then go figure we couldn’t get it to work. We then waited an additional week for someone to come out and get it working…so here I am. There has been so much going on lately in subscription boxes. Birchbox especially has some amazing deals on subscriptions and offers in the bonus shop. I have some reviews I need to write including Read Craft Bake and some awesome products.

I am an ambassador for MOMs Meet and  I have loved my experience being part of their community and best of all getting to sample new brands for our family.

Recently I have to post reviews for two brands that were new to me. Modern Table foods and Wild Veggie Purees. Hopefully I will be able to write about them today.

New Animal Trackers Subscription Box for Kids now 50% Off First Month!

 

Animal Trackers is a new monthly subscription box for kids. It is $14.95 monthly and targeted for children 3 and up. So far from the reviews I’ve seen it looks like a lot of fun while also letting your kids learn something new. Every month Animal Trackers focuses on one animal and provides different activities to go along with it. You receive an adorable lunchbox with your first month and for every animal you also get an animal magnet for the lunchbox. Super cute! My daughter loves playing with magnets on our fridge, I know she would be all over a lunchbox to collect stuff in. 

Use the code ROAR50 to get your first month for only $7.50 after that it is still very reasonably priced at $14.95 per month. 

Oh, and there is also a Space Scouts for older kids that looks pretty neat too!

August Pop Sugar Must Have Box plus a Code for $10 Off!

August was one of my all time favorite Pop Sugar boxes! I don’t normally subscribe but I knew in advance that this was their anniversary box, which means that it would be extra awesome! On top of that I used a code so I could get another turkish towel that came in last month’s box. Im not sure if that code is still available but it was GWPMSA (as of 7-29 it was still working). After subscribing to many boxes the past two years I think I can say Pop Sugar has probably been my favorite. I love that you get so many different items in one box. Even though there are normally a few things I won’t use, there are many that I definitely used. I want to know what your favorite past box items have been! The things I have used the most are probably the beach wraps and towels, oh and any food items always go fast in our house ; ). 

Pop Sugar Must Have Box-$40 monthly, cheaper with longer plan subscription. Each month get mainly full size “must have” items for the month, normally based around a specific inspiration or theme.   

   

thinkThin Brownie Crunch High Protein Bar– Okay how crazy is it that in this tiny little bar there is a whopping 20 grams of protein!? Im not sure I need that kind of protein, sometimes too much in one sitting can upset my stomach. Im definitely going to try it out though, anything with brownie in the title is certain to be a win in my book. 

Festive Celebrate Cookie Mix $12– This looks so yummy! It’s also cute how it ties in with their anniversary this month, “celebrate”. What better way to celebrate with cookies that have sprinkles and chocolate in them? The only bummer is I totally thought that this came in an actual mason jar, Ive always wanted one of those cute cake mixes that came in a jar. This packaging is really adorable and I like that I now can make a batch of cookies anytime the craving hits. 

  

Lollia At Last Shower Gel, $22: This is one of my current favorite luxury brands. I say luxury because there is no way I would ever spend that much on shower gel. I did however spend the money on a GIANT and beautiful glass bottle of bubble bath from this brand Lollia quite recently. It’s so big it will last me a long time, I really like my bubble baths!  This shower gel has a nice scent and the packaging is so bright and cheerful. It’s swapping out my current product immediately. 

        

Kendra Scott Elisa Necklace, $50: Im not sure if I am bummed about not getting the earrings or not. But I really like this necklace. I feel like it’s just that extra something to add to an outfit without going overboard. I am really liking how small and dainty it is, I feel like I will be wearing this a lot. Although maybe I could swap to get the earrings too! 

     

Paddywax Ocean Tide + Sea Salt Candle, $10 : This smells so good, I can’t wait to use it in the bathroom for one of my bubble baths. The blue jar is so pretty I think I’ll try and make a candle with it once I used this one all up. Has anyone ever made their own candles? It seems fairly easy, and a fun project! Ill have to do some research… 

 

Goodbyn Purple Meal and Dipper Set, $8: I have been using the hot pink Bento set from Goodbyn that I got in P’s Citrus Lane box and we love it. Im excited to have a smaller one for myself. The little dipper set is great to bring along some fruit or veggie dip for us to snack on at the park (without it spilling everywhere in my bag).

 

*Bonus Item using Code-Trina Turk Turkish T Towel, $32:Love Love Love these turkish towels this summer. I was using a bath robe when it was colder but these towels are a nice weight for warmer months. These towels are fairly absorbent and dry quickly. It doesn’t hurt that they are a nice blue and white stripe that goes well in our bathroom either! 

Missing Item: Bite Beauty Lip Gloss

I was really sad that I didn’t get the lip gloss in my box and guess what? Pop Sugar has the best customer service I have ever experienced. I emailed them late last night and today I already received an email back saying that they would be happy to send me my missing lip gloss! Seriously, I think that they might actually be better than Birchbox’s customer service just because they were so super quick to respond. I wasn’t expecting such to hear back for a few days! Boy was I wrong, hopefully I get my lipgloss in the mail as just as quickly. This lip gloss is from Bite Beauty a line of makeup that is already quite great in my opinion. I have a lipstick from Bite that I really love especially because their products are free of parabens and sulfates and infused with food-grade ingredients. This lip gloss looks really nice and has strawberry, coconut and avocado oils. PSMH says it’s like “a super fruit smoothie for your lips” I can’t wait to try it! I will update with a picture once I get it in the mail.

So happy with the August box, even with the missing item. I really love everything I received the scent of the candle and shower gel, the cookie mix, the Goodbyn will be used a lot. I think PSMH did a wonderful job of including items that are practical, tasty, luxurious and beautiful all into one box.  Oh right and also the code for $10 off is MUSTHAVEYT
