Over all the box was ok.  I have already unsubscribed because I was very underwhelmed with the size of the samples.  :/

Value $19.99  My favorite item in the box is the Dr Sponge!  Can't wait to use it!  :)

Mightee Kids- July Review

So, one of my favorite sub boxes is Mightee Kids.  I love that it helps children help other children.  If you join the monthly sub box it is $18.99 plus shipping, or if you want to just buy one shirt it will be $21.99 plus shipping.  This box is great!


This months charity is Locks of Love!  Locks of Love is all about sharing your hair with children/people who have cancer and have lost theirs!  What a great charity to support!

 

 

The shirt says, "Share Your Hair" 

 



Eli wouldn't model, but this shirt is QUALITY!  They last and last!  And Eli plays hard!  :)

 

Awesome box!  Awesome cause!  Awesome all around!  :)

Grassy Eco River Review and GIVEAWAY!!!!! :) :)

So I am super excited to announce my first giveaway!  But first I want to let you know about the FANTASTIC items I was able to review from a SAHM who owns and runs Grassy Eco River...

You know how every once and awhile after many years, you meet back up with someone who you knew many moons ago?  Well that is how I came to know Grassy Eco River.  :)  A girl (Desirea) I went to school with in elementary school owns and runs this awesome line!  :)  This line of products is all handmade and all natural!  She offers many different products from soap to candles to lip glosses to anti-bacterial hand sanitizer.  So now onto the review!  :)

These are just some of the awesome soaps Grassy Eco River offers.  The bag has 3 cute little hearts in a Hinoki Blossom scent!  YUMM-O!!!!  The soap bricks are Lemongrass and Orange, Froot Loops, Peanut Butter Cookie and Summer Citrus.  OMG!  I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful these smell!  Eli loves the Froot Loop one!  :)  And trust me when I say, the Peanut Butter Cookie one smells like you just took it out of the oven!  <3  Past the wonderful scents, these soaps make me feel so clean when I use them!  They leave my skin with a really subtle scent and feeling so clean and soft!

These candles are also handmade by Desirea.  I love the scents of these!  The travel tin candle's scent is Cashmere.  The handpainted painted glass candle is all soy and smells like Hinoki!  They are both beautiful and clean burning.  Wonderful candles and scents!  <3

This is the Springtime hand sanitizer.  It smells good!  And when I use it, MAN do my hands feel clean for awhile afterwards!  The lip glosses (Vanilla and Hey Joe) are wonderful as well!  They leave my lips feeling hydrated and healthy.  They also smell great!  They go on really smoothly and make my lips feel glossy for awhile.  :)

All of these products run between $2.00 and $10.00 on her website!  AMAZING!  :)

Over all, I am REALLY impressed by Grassy Eco River products!  The scents are amazing, they feel wonderful and they are all natural!  Something that I can really get behind!  :)


Now on to the fun part...  THE GIVEAWAY!  :) 

The winner will receive a soap, body spray and travel candle in an available scent of their choice.
This giveaway will end on JULY 24, 2013

House warming Gift Idea!

So my sister and her future husband just rented their first home!  :)  So I was trying to find something cute to make them for a little house warming...  And this is an idea I got from Pinterest!

 

 

Bread: That this house may never know hunger.

Salt: That life may always know flavor.

And Wine (or in their case sparkling grape juice!) That joy and prosperity may reign forever.

I thought this was cute!  What cute little tags and it is something they can actually use!  :)

SOAR Superhero Box #2

This month Eli got the SOAR Superhero box #2.  We bought a 3 month subscription and this is our second month.  From what I gather, whenever you sign up you will get the boxes in order 1, 2, 3, etc.  So this is box number two. 

 



In each box you get a treat to use.  The treat in the first box was a cape.  This treat is a water bottle with SOAR on it.  Eli is a little young to use this kind of bottle, but he will like to play with it.  :)

 

 

Also in each box you get a comic book.  This is episode 2.  Eli likes these comic books.

 

 

And included in each box is a mission card with a  mission for the resident superhero on it.  Also stickers and character cards.  These two characters are featured in the comic book this month. 

 

Eli likes this box, but it is a little over his head at 3 years old.  So we will enjoy it for another month and then maybe we will subscribe again when he gets older.  :)

Glossy Box- June 2013 Unboxing

Woo Hoo!  Glossy Box is here!  :)  This was the American Girl Special Edition!  I bought myself a 3 month subscription for my birthday in May, so this was my second month.  The first month, I wasn't so excited about the box...  But this month, this month blew my socks off!  Yeah!  I love it when that happens with subscription boxes!  :)  Glossy Box is $21.00 a month and they offer 5-6 luxury sized cosmetic and wellness samples.  :)

 

 

The cute collectors box!

 

 



 

All the yummy goodness!  LOVE IT!

 

 

Philip B Nordic Wood Hair and Body Shampoo (Value $8.00)  I LOVE Bath and Body samples!  :)

 

 

SpaRitual in Death by Chocolate (Value $12.00) I am just a little disappointed that they didn't send a
                  more summery color.  :/  But on the other hand I love when boxes include nail polish and

                  this will be great this fall!  :)

 

 

C.Booth Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Oil Mist (Value $4.00)  Tried this out already and really

                  liked it!  Not oily at all!  :)

 

 

Tarte complexion enhancing lipstick in Fair to Light (Value $29.00)  Really excited about this one! 

                     And only a tad disappointed that the top melted a little...  :/

 

 

 

And last but not least, my FAVORITE thing in the box! 

Oscar de la Renta Essential Luxuries  (Value undetermined... but a 3.5 oz bottle value is $150!)

                     This was my favorite thing in the whole box!  :)  First I thought we would only get one

                     of the samples...  so to see all 6 of them was really exciting!  And the bag is so cute!  My

                     favorite scent is the Granada one.  :)

 

This box was awesome!  Much better than my last one!  :)  Can't wait to see what comes next month!  :)

 

Paid: $15.00

Value: $53.00 (and that is not including the perfumes!)  AWESOME!
