Support for Infertility Gift Guide
National Infertility Awareness Week is coming to a close and while it has a tendency to bit of a downer topic, I wanted to wrap it up in a positive and uplifting light. So, I decided to put a fun little gift guide together of items that can help make that next doctor appointment, prescription refill, injection, blood draw or results call a little less painful. Read on for a handful of special gifts I’ve rounded up to help you support yourself or support someone you know battling infertility!
Earthlove Spring Box Review
Earthlove is an eco-friendly lifestyle subscription box full of clean and safe food, beauty, wellness, and home products that aims to make living sustainably and healing the planet easier. This is my first time reviewing Earthlove Box and I’m in love! It has easily risen to the top of my subscription box review list, and I have reviewed a ton of amazing boxes so that says a lot. It is filled, and I mean filled with amazing goods. When unboxing it felt like I just kept pulling more and more items out. Read on for the full review…
Earth Day Low Waste Product Swaps
Happy Earth Day friends! What a weird Earth Day, huh? This year is actually the 50th anniversary of this holiday that aims to encourage environmental reform. And interestingly, for this golden anniversary it may actually be the cleanest and least wasteful Earth Day on record since everyone is staying home and purchasing less, driving less, traveling less and just doing less in general. I have no science to back that, but I’ve seen some snippets (whether completely true or not) that say pollution is even down in many major cities and Mother Earth is having a healing moment. I’d believe it though, and I want to believe it too. It’s definitely needed. And if there’s anything positive to come out of this craziness, I’d say that might be it.
March Subscription Box Favorites
March was a BUSY month for subscription boxes! I was lucky enough to review a few new boxes in addition to the regulars so even though it was busy, it was so fun too. The new boxes I tried out were Splendid Spoon, Jiyubox, Dinacharya Self Care Box and Swedest Marketplace. Some meals, snacks, skincare and self care – pretty much covered all my bases! Read on for a favorite from each box I reviewed this month!
Green & Eco-Friendly Easter Basket Ideas
Whoa, Easter is quickly sneaking up! April 12, if you’ve been quarantined inside and have lost track of the days (raises hand)! If you’re still working on putting those Easter baskets together and are inspired to shop with small businesses, look no further – I gotchu. Read on for some eco-friendly, non-toxic, and small-business-supporting inspiration for kids (most of this is for young children since I’m inspired by my one year old)!
Swedest Marketplace Box Review – March 2020
I’m so lucky to have recently discovered another new subscription box from Swedest Marketplace. I’m even more lucky to have won a launch box from a recent IG contest! They sent me such an amazing selection of goodies that really impressed me. I’m not obligated in any way to share my thoughts on their new subscription, but since I love subscription boxes (might be borderline obsessed) and the contents are so great, I just had to share (as usual, all opinions are my own)! Swedest Marketplace was born from a family blog created as they guided their daughter through some […]
Dinacharya Self Care Box Review – March 2020
I’ve discovered another wonderful new subscription box! And when I say new, I don’t just mean new to me, but newly launched too. Dinacharya Self Care Box is exactly that – a box full of self care delivered straight to your door. This is their very first self care collection and it’s a good one! The word dinacharya is Sanskrit and means the concept of developing daily rituals and habits to maintain physical, spiritual and mental well-being. This box was created based on that concept to especially help us women who most often care of others, but can forget to […]
Jiyūbox Review – Spring 2020
I’m so excited to be reviewing Jiyūbox subscription box for the first time! I’ve been eyeing it for awhile and even put it on my 2019 Holiday Subscription Box Gift Guide post because it’s such a lovely curation of goods. Not only that, but I love what this brand stands for. Jiyū means “freedom” in Japanese so they believe in providing customers with an experience of living a life free from toxins, fillers, and animal cruelty while maintaining freedom to explore and enjoy life too. What uplifting and peaceful messaging! I can attest that their messaging really matches the box […]
Small Business Sales – Green Beauty + Beyond
I’ve gone back and forth about sharing things related to green beauty, shopping and consumption right now because it seems almost frivolous and silly to worry about given the current situation, but I’ve heard and believe that small businesses, especially, are going to be affected by this worse than expected if we don’t step up to help them out. I pretty much always talk about small business brands anyway, but I guess this is just me saying I’m not going to stop the content from coming, it feels like the least I can do. I plan on putting several posts […]
