Tonx

I received a free 2oz sample of coffee from Tonx today. Tonx is a small group of about 10 people who love coffee, and want to get really great coffee to the masses. I was raised on the stuff in the red can. As I got older I was lucky enough to get a job next to a coffee house, and came to realize not all coffee tasted like old nuts(no pun intended). For the first time I was seeing coffee presses, whole beans, and smelling what good coffee smelled like. After tasting my first espresso I was hooked, and the crappy canned stuff was no longer going to cut it for me. I am not a coffee expert I just know what I like, and I like Tonx. The coffee is wonderful and has a deliciously rich flavor, but it is not bitter.

 Tonx has four different subscription options the first is their free 2 oz potion so you can see if you will like the coffee(you will). The options are The Half Sack it is 6ozs and $12.00. There is The Standard it is $19.00 for 12ozs. Then there is The Double it is $34.00 for 24ozs. They ship out every other week, and shipping is included in the price of the coffee. You will be billed every four weeks for two shipments at a time. When you receive your coffee it will be in whole bean form, so you will need a grinder or a hammer...lol yes I have had to do that I should not laugh....There web site is so very easy to navigate and they have a great Q&A page that will answer any questions you will have. One thing I did find out from it is for some strange reason they won't send me a pony....I am 6 all over again...Oh well, they will send me amazing coffee instead. You have to check out there selection of coffee presses, grinders, and different brewing options. The prices are reasonable to.

 I just used my standard coffee pot to brew my pot this morning, and it was great. I cant wait to try my press or my favorite my peculator. Some will disagree but I feel it makes a hell of a good cup of coffee.

I can't say it enough this coffee is great, and the sample is free so if you don't like it (you might want to get checked out by a doctor) you don't have to pay for it. Try it I know you will agree Tonx Thank you, Tabitha


Citrus Lane

This is actually my second box from Citrus lane. I was so unhappy with my first box I canceled my subscription. So when I saw the opportunity to receive a free box I decided to give them another try, and I am so glad I did. This months box was awesome. Two of my sons favorite things are music and his tubby time, and this box covered both. They have several subscription options. The first is month to month it is $25.00. Then there is a 3 month option it is $25.00 per month. Then there is a 6 month and a 1 year option they are $21.00 a month. Shipping is included in all of the options at no extra charge. The website is easy to use and customer service is good I had no issues when I called them. Like I said I really love the items in this box.


 This is Water Bugs by Boon. It helps develop motor skills and coordination thru play. They are BPA free so if M wants to chew on them like everything else he can do so with no worries.
 To go along with the tub toy we got Playful Wash by Episencial. I have used this before and I love it. It smells amazing and is an ultra gentle head to toe wash. It is also tear free and rinses quickly.
 M loves this. It is a Triangle Castanet by Green Tones. The brand is ECO friendly and it is made from sustainable rubber wood.
 Lastly there was a BabyBug book from Cricket Magazine. I am not familiar with either of these, but I know Cricket Magazine has been around for years and with the book there was a code for 3 free digital months of the magazine.

Like I said I loved this box, and I think Citrus Lane hit it out of the park with all of the boxes this month. I hope they keep up the great work. Citrus Lane. Thank you, Tabitha

Parenthood Survival Box

I received a new box to review it is called Parenthood Survival Box. The Parenthood survival Box is another Subscription box from Milk and Honey Kids. For those of you who are not familiar with them they have two other monthly Sub. boxes the first is Cotton Booty they send cotton diapers, samples, and one fun item. They are for newborn to 3 years old. The other is Kid Stash, and they target the 3-7 age range. This was there first box and I thought there were some really great things in this box. The Parent survival Box is for little ones newborns to 9 months. Customer service responded very quickly to my random question. They have a boy, girl, and a neutral box, and to subscribe monthly it is $34.99.


 This is so cute it is a Fred and Friends Chill! Baby pacifier...love it.
 If your little one chews on everything like mine this is wonderful it is an Indestructible book by Indestructibles. It is water-proof, tear-resistant, and baby-proof.
 This is the Parents night out pad. You leave all the info you need to right here. All the phone numbers, emergency contact info., and even bed time instructions. So you can have that much needed night out.
 These are Babylegs legwarmers. they are adorable and sure to keep babies legs nice and warm.
 Then lastly the Angle Dear Swaddle blanket it is a large 47" by 47" so it will grow with your baby and it is made of muslin so it is super soft.
I really do like this box and if my son was younger I would be getting it monthly. You can check them out for yourself at Parenthood Survival Box. Thank you Tabitha

Love With Food!!!

I love Love with food, they are a delicious company that sends interesting snacks to my door every month. For those of you who are not familiar with Love With Food, they are a monthly subscription box service that not only sends you healthy wholesome snacks, but gives back to America by donating meals. For every box sold they donate a meal. They have donated well over 100,000 meals so far, and they have gone to hungry children here in America. You have to check out their website, it is super easy to navigate. There you will find all the information you need to start receiving a box of your own. The regular box (that is the one I got) is $12.00 a month and there is a deluxe box that is $19.95 a month. It looks like it has double what the regular box has in it. If there is something you must have again there is a store on the web site that has all the items from the box for sale. You will be able to review the items in your box to earn points, which can be used to get money off your purchase from the store. You get points if you refer someone and they get a box, so if you love Love With Food tell everyone you know and you'll be rolling in free food...lol. You can check them out here I really think you will like what you see Love With Food . Thank you Tabitha

The company that makes this is called Dang, and it is toasted coconut chips. I have tried this before and used it in baking. It was wonderful. So I will be using this for my holiday baking.
 This is a fruit and nut bar by Kind. It barely made it past the photo....sooooo delicious.
 The purple packets are triple berry Glee Gum. They use brown rice and cane sugar to make this gum. I thought it tasted great.
The wrapped candy is amazing as well. The orange is blood orange and honey, and the green is pear and cinnamon. They are organic hard candies made by Torie & Howard. They are out of this world good.
 This is Happy Squeeze by Happy Family. My son loves these and this is a new one for us it is blueberry, apple, and  purple carrot. It is in the fridge for snack time
 This is the strange thing in the box, but it looks so cool. What it is are Pixo pearls in apple cider vinegar from Vinaigerie Gingras. I am looking forward to trying this. I was told it is very good on salads or meat. We will find out soon...
 Love, Love, Love....these are chocolate Pizzelle cookies and they are amazing. They are made by Silk City Snacks. Thank goodness the bag was only 100 calories, because I ate the whole thing. Well I did give my son 2...lol. They are so good.

 These are New World Caveman Cookies by Caveman Bakery. They are a Paleo cookie made with real seeds, nuts, and maple syrup. They will satisfy any caveman. If you are on the Paleo diet I would check out the Caveman Bakery to see what other great snacks they have.
                                     I thought this box was wonderful so many new things to try.

Conscious Box

I have mixed feelings about Conscious Box this month. They have amazing customer service, but I don't know how I feel about their boxes. I think I would like them better if the items were a larger more deluxe sample size, so I could really try the product. I would love to be able to use it for two or three days to see if I really like the product. I know that would cut down on the amount of samples, and I am fine with that. I do know there are people who like a lot of little samples, so I know you can not please everyone. Conscious Box is a nice box that is delivered monthly. You can get your box in Classic (that is the one I got), Vegan, and Gluten free. They do give you good options. You can sign up for a monthly subscription for $19.95 that includes free shipping. There is a three month option for $56.85 that also has free shipping. Then there is a six month option for $107.70 with free shipping. Lastly there is the yearly option, it is $203.40 and you guessed it free shipping. You can give your opinion on the boxes and the items inside to earn points. You do that right on the Conscious Box website. The points can be used to purchase items in the store on their web site. There you are able to purchase the products you received in your boxes. I only paid $7.95 for this box, and that was for shipping. I honestly feel if I had paid $19.95 I would have been irritated. I do not feel this box was worth $19.95, but for $7.95 I feel I do get to see different things. So what I am saying if you want to try this box go ahead just try to get it for the shipping price and if you like it great please sign up for a monthly subscription, but if you are not wowed then even at $7.95 you still got some new things Conscious Box . Thank You, Tabitha


These are baked organic corn snacks ahaped like dinosaurus. They are chedder cheese flavor.  My son has tried these from another box, and loves them so I was happy to see them in this box. He was to...lol
 I love anything cinnamon raisin so this will be a bed time snack. It is a soft baked fiber bar by GNU foods.
 This is to clean your water bottles, Travel mugs, or Other hard to clean drinking vessels. The package says you fill what you want to clean with warm water.  Add one cleaning tablet. Let sit 5 mins. for tablet to dissolve, shake to mix. Let stand 10 more mins. Then discard solution and rinse bottle. Sounds easy enough.
 These are Crum Creek's soy bite mini bread sticks. They are Vegan, Kosher, and GMO free. The package says they are healthy, high in protein, and low in carbs. They are available in Everything, Sesame, Onion, Rosemary, and Garlic flavors
This is Honest Company shampoo and body wash. I was happy to see this because I love the Honest Company but with this small sample there is no way I can tell if I am going to like it or not.
 This is from Eat Green Tea.com It says to sprinkle on top of just about anything you eat, and you will have sustained energy all day. One bag is equal to antioxidants in 30 cups of brewed tea. I will have to try.            
 Citrus scented dish soap from Life Tree. It is biodegradable and phosphate free. it says it is gentle on the plants and your hands.
 Goddess Garden Organics Tangerine Lavender daily lotion SPF 15. It has 91% organic ingredients. I burn very easy so I am excited to try this and see how it works.
I thought these were gummies but I am wrong there are 5 chewables. The package says 21 fruits plus  L.Acidophilus probiotics taking your daily amountof fruits just got easier. I guess if your not getting the fruit you need these are great.
This is a two pack from Seventh Generation one side is natural skin serum and the other side is natural body lotion. I am always looking for a new body lotion.

    
 This is hard to see sorry. It is gotu kola stem cell + chlorella growth factor day cream by Acure. Again the package is very small, so I feel I will not know if it is working well.
 This is vitamin b hydrating gel  facial moisturizer from Lotus Moon. This package is a bit larger so I am looking forward to trying this and feeling if it works.

I got this in another box and I still have no idea what it is supposta do. It supports your body's natural defenses. there is a pamphlet with it and you can check out Allimax.com for more info
Last but not least is a bio bag for pet waste made from plants, vegetable oils, and mater-bi. It is designed to degrade as your dogs poo does it seams like a nice bag. I will use it.
Like I said there was a good bit of stuff in this box, but I would have liked some of the samples to be more than a one time thing. Using it one time is not going to tell me wither I want to purchase the full size product or not.

Stunner of the month...

My new sunglasses got here a little later than usual (thank you government shutdown) but they are here, and they are just as awesome as last months. Again they are something I never would have picked out for myself, but I love them. For those of you who do not know what Stunner of the Month is it is a monthly subscription box that sends you sunglasses or stunners. I just call them sunglasses, because I am in no way cool enough to call them stunners...lol. I was not sure if I wanted to get these because I like to pick my own sunglasses out. Some might not look right, you know what I am saying, but I have really liked the glasses I have gotten.

 The boxes are $9.00 a month and that includes shipping. They send you an e-mail when they ship. No tracking number, but I feel like they are on it because the e-mail says if you don't receive your package within 5 days to get in touch with them. Their Customer Service is wonderful. They got back to me very quickly when I asked about the glasses not arriving within the 5 days. The web site is easy to navigate and you can choose male, female, or unisex glasses. I love them, and best of all they will send you your first box free. So you have nothing to loose. Just go to  Stunner of the Month and type in trystunner to get your free shade. Give them a shot for free you can't go wrong. There are two different shades because my cousin ordered a pair as well and I wanted to show you  both pairs hope you love them. Thanks Tabitha

Zockster

I got these socks and was happy because I love socks. What I did not know is how much I would love these socks. They are simply amazing they are made with bamboo. I do not know a lot about bamboo so I went to the companies web page and found out things like. "Bamboo's natural properties wick moisture away for the skin, keeping feet dry during activity. Bamboo has natural antibodies that fight off bacteria. The best part, Bamboo textile is long and silky, so the socks feel like cashmere on your feet." They really do feel amazing on your feet, and because they are made from a sustainable product it is better for the environment. They also ship in ECO friendly packaging.  I love socks some people say it is a problem. It is not a problem it has just been a search for the sock that does not only feel good but wear well too. What I mean by that is it never fails, you find these great comfy socks, wear it and wash it a few times. Then the holes start, so the socks get thrown away. I have been wearing these and testing them walking around the house on different surfaces, and have not noticed any wear starting yet. I did notice they got softer with washing and wearing. The real test came when I was carrying my one year old into the kitchen. I have to step over the baby gate and onto the kitchen floor. I can not tell you how many times I have almost fallen, and I am now extra careful. I did not notice any slipping with these socks, not to say they are slip resistant but they are great for me.

Zockster was founded in 2012, in Chicago, IL, and there company mission is to give customers great products at great prices when they need them

You can choose from women's white ankle, men's white ankle, or men's black dress. You have to add $1.00 more to the subscription price if you would like the black dress socks. You can choose a monthly subscription for $5.00 plus $2.00 shipping. You can choose every other month for $7.00 plus $2.00 shipping. You can get them quarterly for $9.00 plus $2.00 shipping, or if you do not want to do a monthly thing you can just order 3 pairs for $10.00 free shipping. You will get 3 pairs of socks and if you need to change anything you can do that right from there web site, and they have a satisfaction guaranteed. I did see on there site they are rolling out some new designs. It looks like they are not out just yet but there is a waiting list to sign up on. There web site is very user friendly. I really liked these socks they are so comfortable. I do hope you give them a try. If you don't like them you can send them back. Zockster  Thank you Tabitha
