The Honest Company: Mother's Day Gift Box Review

When I saw The Honest Company had a special gift box for Mother's Day I had to head over to the website to check it out. I must confess I do not have kids. And I already have my Mother's Day gift purchased and wrapped for my mother. When I saw the contents of the box, especially the limited edition items I had to have one, so I purchased one for myself.


What's great about this Mother's Day Gift Box is that it doesn't specifically mention anything about Mother's Day on it, or on any of the packaging, so you can use this for just about anyone: a new mommy who needs some pampering, your mother or your grandmother, a friend who needs cheering up, or even yourself.


The Mother's Day Gift Box comes wrapped inside a lightweight reusable wooden box, and contains:

The Honest Company: Essentails Bundle Review

One of my new favorite subscription boxes is The Honest Company.  The Honest Company's subscription is a little different than most subscription services.  For example, The Honest Company calls their monthly subscription a "bundle" rather than a "box".  You can cancel your subscription at any time, and you can choose which items you want in your bundle rather than filling out a survey/profile and having the company choose your products (you mix a match five items from the list of products they provide).  You also have an option to add three more items to your monthly bundle- when you add three or more items to your bundle you will receive a 25% discount on those products.  The Honest Company  has three different types of monthly bundles: The Diapers & Wipes Bundle (one month supple of eco-friendly diapers and all natural wipes), which retails for $79.95; the Essentials Bundle (natural, non-toxic home and personal essentials), which retails for $35.95; and the Health and Wellness Bundle (vitamins and supplements); which retains for $39.95.  I chose to subscribe to the Essentials Bundle.

This month I chose the following items for my Essentials Bundle:
I also chose to add on a three items (at a 25% discount).  I added:

This hand soap smells amazing!!! I still have some previously bought hand soap left, so I haven't been able to try this out yet but I'm looking forward to it!!


I used this cleaner this weekend and it not only smells great but does an awesome job at cleaning anddisinfecting!! 


I absolutely love this brush and base!! You just put a little bit of dish soap in the bottom, top it off with a little dab of water and then dip your brush in and clean away!! 


I was nervous that this dish soap would leave a film on my dishes but it did anything but. It not only cleaned them but also gave them a shine that Ive only been able to achieve using those high priced (and toxic) dish soaps. Love this product!!!


This glass and windows cleaner has been a godsend!! Gone are the days of spraying and wiping and spraying again. Only a few sprays and wipes and your mirrors, glass, and windows are shining!


I usually hand wash my dishes but I wanted to try this product out for those times when I have too many to do by hand. I haven't been able to try it yet, but if it's as amazing as all the other products I'm sure I will love it. 


I purchased these so that I could reuse the spray bottles of the multi-surface cleaner and the glass and window cleaner. I was afraid the mix would be hard to obtain but the bottle gives you no fuss directions that even a child could understand. Score!!

I absolutely love everything from my bundle this month!! Each month you can customize your bundle so you do not get the same products, or so you do get the same products- whatever your needs may be. I think next month I may switch it up to try a few more products before I make a set monthly product bundle.

Subscription Box Obsessed

I have recently become addicted to subscription boxes. I started out with Birchbox and it all snowballed from there. To date I am currently subscribed to:

(*denotes quarterly subscription)

To date I have received boxes from most of the subscriptions but a few I have yet to receive- Bookriot, Nina Garcia, Umba, Honest Company and The List- I-Ella. My Honest Company bundle is scheduled to be delivered this week. I am hoping to love all the products! (Honest Company lets you choose which items will be in your monthly bundle). When I receive it I will make sure to post a review. The List-I-Ella is also schedule to be coming soon which I am BEYOND excited about. I don't see many reviews for it so when it comes I will make sure to give a review so if you are interested in subscribing you can get a sneak preview into what you might receive. 

I plan on reviewing all the subscription boxes I'm currently subscribed to but since I started my blog late (went through a little blog revamping this month), most subscription box reviews were already out, and since many boxes are similar I didn't want to flood you all with another review. Next month look for reviews on all boxes. 

As you can tell I am currently on subscription overload- I love getting boxes but I am spending an obscene amount of money monthly (roughly $600) so soon I may cut out a few boxes. If you are subscribed to any of the boxes listed above please comment below on your experience with the box, and if you think it's a keeper. I'm looking to you all to help me make my current obsession a little more manageable and wallet friendly.
