Ecocentric Mom Box Review October
The mailman once again delivered my small box of eco-friendly goodies (sent to me for review from Ecocentric Mom - affiliate link). My mail guy (Jeffrey) knows when to bring the bundle of goodies to my door and when to leave them in the mailbox; this is one of those times when he knocks. Since his deliveries have become later and later in the day, I have to fight my kids for a few minutes of peace while I open MY box. I explain to them that MAYBE I'll share some of the goods with them....MAYBE! I slowly cut a slit in the packing tape and find the pretty pink tissue paper staring up at me with love. I resist the urge to rip the paper and tear into the goods. Instead I gently pull open the tissue paper to see what awaits me. This month was fun, and I did end up sharing a few things with my kids. The Duck & Goose Find a Pumpkin book came just in time for my newest little bookworm to enjoy for Fall. You can find this adorable board book (and other books by Tad ... [ Read More ]

Each month I get a little box full of eco-friendly goodies for me (and sometimes a few to share with friends, family, and the kids).

ecocentric mom Subscription Box June
You know what I love most about the ecocentric mom subscription boxes? Each month you get mail (that's NOT bills) and it's always a good blend of goodies. This month has a mix of health and beauty supplies along with a few snacks. I got hungry last night and devoured the EcoTrek bar (dark chocolate with toasted coconuts). In a few minutes when I make lunch for the kids we'll share the Food Should Taste Good sweet potato chips. Then I'll be wishing there were a few more tasty treats by this evening. The very first thing I tried was Essence of Antiquity Pomegranate Lip Scrub. It's an organic sugar scrub with a blend of natural oils and tastes feels so good on your lips. I should have sprayed myself with the Turtle Moon Health all natural mosquito repellent last night before watching the kids swim at dusk. I was eaten alive my those nasty blood suckers!! I love that their spray bottle is aluminum so I can reuse it or recycle it when I'm done. The spray has a sweet smell ... [ Read More ]
