Subscription Box Loves

Ever since becoming a mom, convenience has been the name of the game.  Believe it or not, it's difficult to even find time to get to the market.  Therefore, I'd say about 99% of my shopping happens online now.  Subscription boxes have become a staple for me.  I used to be subscribed to birchbox, the makeup/skincare sample service, but a girl only needs so many sample packets.  Once I found out about these 3 below, I was hooked.

 

 

First, is my citrus lane subscription box.  It's a service that delivers stuff that my baby can use.  I should also mention that ever since becoming a mom, I have developed a baby stuff buying addiction.  If there's an AA group for that, I probably should join it.  But, in my defense, if there's something that can help make our lives easier, funner, or smarter for baby, what parent would deny that?  I've gotten 3 boxes so far, and I've really liked/used every item I've received.  In my most recent august box, my favorite item was a growth chart.  I have been meaning to get one for Ethan, so it was perfect that they sent one.  If anything, I feel like their shop is a good resource to view a curated collection of items that are of high quality and usefulness.  In the past, I've gotten gift ideas that way for other kiddos.

 

They have specials sometimes that make your first box $10 or monthly boxes $19...something like that.  Anyway, if you're interested, here's my link that'll take 50% off your first box:

Nomming time is always a good time, right?  As mentioned previously, I can barely find time to make it to the market anymore, so finding yummy snacks is next to impossible.  You could say, just don't snack so much then!  But, with breastfeeding, and lack of overall sleep, my mouth is always itching to nom on something.  I had found myself snacking on unhealthy things because they're on the kitchen counter as gifts from people or readily available via the vending machine from work, so in an attempt to make healthier choices, I signed up for naturebox.  I first heard about it from family vloggers on youtube called The Shaytards.  I've gotten 3 boxes thus far, and they have been pretty good indeed.  My absolute favorite is the Roasted Kettle Kernels which is like kettle popcorn but in cornuts form.  If there ever is a snack I don't like, they'll give me credit back to apply to my next box.  It's pretty much a win-win situation.  I currently have 3 free boxes I can give away to friends when they sign up, so let me know if you're interested and I can send you an email.  Otherwise, you can sign up at naturebox.com.  They have subscription services from $15/month to $19/month.

 

 

Lastly, is my most recent subscription to Stitch Fix.  It's a personal styling service that looks at your needs and sends you 5 pieces of clothing for purchase.  You pay $20 for the styling fee, but it is applied to your purchase if you make one.  You pay for what you want to keep, and return the rest at no cost to you.  Since becoming a mom, I've lost all sense of style, if I ever had one to begin with (doubtable).  So, I've found myself needing a bit of help finding a new style that will suit my needs as a breastfeeding, working mom.  I'm highly anticipating my next box because I really loved my first one.  They really got my style spot on, and sent me items that I would have never considered for myself, but work great.  I also like how they provide a pamphlet with photo guides on how to pair the pieces they sent.  I only wish you could have the option to purchase the whole outfit depicted (yea, I'm lazy).  They use pinterest a lot, so it's fun seeing people's "fixes" as well to see what kind of clothes they stock.  If you're interested in checking it out, you can click here.
