Succulents Box Review & Giveaway!

 


While I might not have the greenest thumb in the world, I love picking up a new house plant from time to time. I have the perfect corner in my bathroom that gets plenty of indirect sunlight through out the day & the plants get humidity from the shower being on. I was excited when given the opportunity to work with Succulents Box on a review & giveaway. Not only do they sell a monthly subscription box that will deliver four succulents to your door each month, but they also have a large assortment of plants you can buy from their online store. If you have a plant lover in your life, one of their succulent subscription boxes would make a wonderful gift whether it is for just one month or three months, they are sure to love it. 


I was lucky enough to be sent one of their four packs of succulents, plus I was given a twenty dollar gift card to choose something from their plant selection. I was quite pleased with the selection they sent, each one looked completely different which will be fun when I put them into a new pot along side one another. I have some open space in the succulent planter I already have so two of them will be moving into it & the other two I will probably get another small planter for. I found an awesome succulent planter on amazon that I liked, that was tall enough to put a layer of rocks under the dirt while still shallow enough to keep the succulents happy. So far they've been loving it, so I am hoping the new plants will as well. The monthly subscription box & the succulent bundles they sell are a great way to find new succulents they might not have in stores near you! Take for example one of the four I received, at first I thought it had some little dead spots, then I realized that is how it is supposed to look. Looking on their website, It is either a panda plant kalanchoe or kalanchoe chocolate both of which naturally have those little brown spots near the tips. All four succulents look healthy & happy! 


Picking out something from their huge plant collection was so hard! There were so many beautiful and exiting plants to look at that it was hard to pick which I wanted. I ended up picking out a Epiphyllum anguliger fishbone cactus & a braided stump money tree. I love money trees, but depending on the time of the year here they can be hard to find, so I was happy to see that Succulents Box had more than one type on their website. The money tree was quite a bit bigger than I thought it would be when it arrived, I can't wait to see how much it grows over time! The fishbone cactus was also a bit bigger than I thought it would be. On their website it looks more condensed together & shorter so I was surprised to see it's little arms so long when it arrived. I also enjoyed that fact that all of their plants offer different styles of pots you can get them in depending on your preference. I went with just the basic growers pots, as I knew I was eventually likely to move them into a different pot, but wasn't sure what kind of pot I wanted at the moment. 

The prices on their website are pretty good! In fact the low prices may even get plant lovers in trouble, because they will want to add so many to their carts. Their plants start as low as $6.50, plus you can almost always find sales and discounts to use while shopping. During the shipment process they will add a type of paper tape around the bottom of each plant to cover the dirt which will prevent it from all spilling out during their journey. It was very simple to remove and didn't make that much of a mess, all in all I would say 90% of the dirt stayed right in the containers. Everything looked to be in pretty good shape after their trip to my doorstep, I didn't see anything that made me upset about the new plants I acquired. Between the prices & the wide selection of plants they offer, I would 100% make a purchase from them again! In fact there are about two dozen more plants I was looking at when trying to decide what I wanted to get this time around. I also like that they let you sort by a number of characteristics like "Pet friendly plants" or "best houseplants for beginners". They also offer care guides on their site for anyone who could use them. 

💚 GIVEAWAY! Stop by my Instagram page or my Tiktok page & click on my Succulents Box reel for your chance to win a $10 gift card to their website. You can enter on either platform or enter on both to double your entries. All entries will be put into one drawing & a winner will be selected once the giveaway has ended.

Cheese Brothers Review & Giveaway!

 


When hosting get togethers for family + friends during the holidays I like to put together a charcuterie board or two for everyone to graze on while we hang out, play games and enjoy each others company. A cheese & cracker board is always a must, and the brand I prefer to use for my cheese boards is the Cheese Brothers! They have such a wide range of products, you are sure to find something you and your guests will enjoy. Whether it is for yourself or for a cheese lover on your holiday shopping list this year, Cheese Brothers offers a wide range of gift packs from their 12 days of Cheesemas advent calendar to mini charcuterie boxes. 

I've worked with the Cheese Brothers in the past on a review & ourselves along with family have ordered their cheeses randomly through out the year. I am very happy to share that I am working with them again on not only a new review, but a giveaway as well! For my review I received the deluxe "The Best gifts are Cheesy" holiday gift box. This box offers an assortment of nine difference cheeses, two summer sausages, a jar of Cherry Lavender jam & a box of crackers. It includes everything you need to create your own cheese & cracker charcuterie board. The cheeses featured in this pack at the Smoked Gouda, Dill Havarti, 3 Amigos Spicy Gouda, Bourbon Gouda, Horseradish Cheddar, Smoked Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, Fratello, and Smoked Adelheid. Out of the nine, we have tried five of them in the past so the other four were brand new to us. 

I personally love their smoked gouda and the 3 Amigos is a big hit in our house. The Fratello which is a mixture of asiago and parmesan, is also a huge hit in our house and it is delicious in so many dishes. If you've never tried a cherry lavender jam before, then you are missing out - it is a must have for your charcuterie board. Of the new flavors of cheese we tried the smoked adelheid was pretty good! The Bourbon Gouda is a bit sharp & really does taste like whiskey so the kids & I weren't fans of it. I also wasn't a huge fan of the eight year aged cheddar, but my step-dad liked it. It is a more dry cheese with a very sharp cheddar flavor to it. Adding some other small platters of assorted holiday themed treats is also a great way to spice up a grazing table. I picked up some popcorn, chocolate pretzels, chocolate and a spicy pineapple jam to go along side the charcuterie board I put together. The cheese was of course the main focus though that everyone enjoyed nibbling on. 

You can create a similar charcuterie board to share with loved ones, or keep the cheese for your own cheese and cracker nights. You can buy a pre-made gift pack or if you'd prefer to create your own mixture of cheeses they do sell all of their products individually so you can create your own bundle. They also sell a cheese of the month club box which could make an awesome holiday gift as well! 

🧀 GIVEAWAY 🧀

One lucky winner is going to receive the cheese & sausage sampler which includes three different cheeses and a Barron sausage. Worth $39.95

Artkive - Save space while displaying your child's artwork!

 

It is no secret that kids love to create art whether it is drawing you a card or painting a picture & as a parent of two I've been given lots of artwork by my children. Between their personal art pieces, they've done at home & artwork they've brought home from school, there just isn't enough space to keep everything. I've kept quite a bit of it & have a box full of artwork in the closet, but I always feel bad there isn't a lot of room to display some of it. That is where Artkive comes in! 


One of the services they offer is that you can send in a stack of your children's artwork, which will then be professionally photographed and made into a hardcover book which can be pulled out & looked at any time you want. I recently received the opportunity to work with them to see how the process worked. I was offered a twenty-five-page book in exchange for my review & both of my kids along with my husband and myself were excited to have some of the kids artwork in a book. I sat down with both of my kids to go through some of the artwork we've saved so we could pick out what we wanted in the book together. The kids also decided to give thirteen of the pages to my oldest & twelve of the pages would display my youngest's work.  

So how does it work? The first step is to head to their website & start the book process which will include paying a first initial payment then waiting for a box to be sent to you. The box has a plastic bag to place your artwork so that if anything happens to the box the art is still safe, along with a prepaid label. Books start out at $75 for twenty-five-pages and additional pages cost extra. If you use code MOONLIT20 you will get $20 off your book order. After you send in your artwork, you will receive updates via email letting you know where your book is at in the process. Our book got stuck for a little while on one of the steps, but everything was sorted out. It takes about two months from the time you send in your artwork to the time you get your book back.

Before they send out your book, they will send you an email asking you to proof the book. This step allows you to adjust the lighting on any photos if you wish, add a description under the artwork, and select a cover photo. When you hit submit, your book will be printed & mailed back to you. I thought the process was very simple to understand & was easy to use. Our book turned out great, I love being able to grab our Artkive book off the bookshelf to flip through the artwork. When we've had family over, we've been able to put it out on the coffee table & they've enjoyed looking through it as well. 


The point of these books of course is to free up some space in your house, so unless you select to pay an extra return free the original artwork will be recycled. My kids are ages eleven & fifteen, so they didn't think it was that big of a deal not to get the original work back since we had a copy in the book. However, some people are more attached to things like this and may want the work back, so it is completely up to you. These books would make a great gift for a family member or as a gift to yourself. Along with kids art books they have an option where you can get it turned into a framed mosaic. There is also another option called cards by Artkive where they will do the same as they did with this book, but with old greeting cards instead.

Does this sound like a service you'd use?

Joancee Jewelry Review!

 


The holidays are coming up which means it is time to start thinking about holiday shopping (that is if you haven't already). If you have a jewelry lover on your shopping list, or want to leave a engagement ring hint to your significant other, then you should check out Joancee. Joancee offers a wide range of stunning jewelry that comes in ready to gift boxes + they come with a small cleaning cloth. You'll find a wide range of gorgeous pieces at affordable prices. Looking for a Men's wedding or engagement ring? They have one hundred and twenty-one different Men's rings to choose from.  I was lucky enough to be offered a chance to select a ring from a number of pieces I was shown to do a review on. From the list I was shown I selected the Round cut Amethyst 925 sterling silver engagement ring. This beautiful ring can currently be purchased for $107.85. 

This ring features a stunning large round Amethyst setting accompanied by a smaller amethyst on the front & back of the ring. You will also found four small amethysts on either side of the large stone plus 50+ mini white sapphire stones adorning this ring. The band itself is silver & you can pay extra to have a custom engraving added to the ring. I did not choose an engraving, I kept the ring as is. The sizing guide they have on their website is very helpful for finding the right sized ring if you aren't sure what size ring you wear. 

The ring I selected fits beautifully & is quite comfortable to wear, it is light weight & you can hardly tell it is there. Since it is sterling silver you won't need to take if off when you wash your hands or get in the shower. This ring is gorgeous especially in the sunlight watching the colorful rays of light dance off of the jewels. The purple of the stone is quite vibrant & will draw the eye directly to it. I am quite pleased with the ring & feel like it is a stunning high quality ring at a fantastic price. 

Best of all? You can get 20% OFF of your purchase using code IFL20 

If Purple isn't your favorite color, what color would you love to see this ring in??

Give a beautiful statement piece from Love & Crafted to your loved one!

I was recently offered a change to work with the jewelry company Love & Crafted that I couldn't pass up! They create each piece in their collection with a love & purpose aiming to create more of a connection behind each piece of jewelry. Every piece of jewelry has a special meaning behind it. Their jewelry collection is perfect for gifting to your loved ones or even gifting to yourself, if you want to add something beautiful to your collection. Today I have a short & sweet review of a stunning ring to share with all of you.

When looking through their collection, they have a lot of fantastic choices to select from however the one that really stood out to me was their "Spark Between Us" ring. The ring is adjustable so it can be worn by most ring sizes, they are also nickel-free/lead-free so they are hypoallergenic. Due to the materials this is made of you can keep it on for as long as you want, you can even safely shower with it on. Every ring comes with a message card & small jewelry bag. This specific ring cost $39.99 and comes with a card that reads "There's a spark between us I've never felt with anyone else. Wear this ring as a reminder that I'll always be there for you". One of the other pieces I really loved from their collection was the "To The Moon & Back" necklace.


The ring is beautiful in person, I love the shine it has, and the lightning bolts are shaped just right to where they won't be painfully poking into your fingers. My daughter ended up loving the ring as well, so she claimed it as her own and has been wearing it since shortly after we received it in the mail. I highly suggest heading over and checking out what they have to offer! My readers can get an extra 20% off their order by using the code LUNA20 at check out.

Doing Good Co. Gift Boxes + Giveaway!

 


Doing Good Co. aims to make gift giving a breeze, whether you are looking to treat yourself or surprise a loved one with a heartfelt gift, Doing Good Co. has an assortment of pre-assembled gift boxes. They have gift boxes in assorted sizes & themes. You can send them a specific message such as "You are beautiful", "Congrats" & even "Sorry for your loss" or you can send a simple theme such as Watermelon or a seasonal themed box such as the bloom box. I was recently gifted one of their Watermelon themed boxes to check out for review, you can purchase one on their website for $34.99. There is an option during check out to include a personal note which will be displayed so the recipient will see it once they open their box. With Mother's day coming up these gift boxes would be the perfect thing to send to let your mom (or wife) know you are thinking of her. You can get 10% off your order by using code Luna10 during check out. 


This gift box comes with eight different products included. You will receive a tumbler with a re-usable straw, a Pura Vida bracelet, a watermelon shelf-sitter, a seed-bearing lollipop, watermelon lip balm, two packets of watermelon cold brew, mini encouragement cards and a postcard. The lollipop is pretty neat, after you have finished your sweet treat you can plant the stick into the ground & water it. Inside of the lollipop stick are basil seeds that will start to grow, such a great way to help reduce a little waste.

I like that the bracelet is waterproof, that way you can keep it on in the shower or in the pool without worrying about it. The mini cards & postcard are a nice touch as well, since the person you gifted them too can then spread the love by sending some snail mail. I haven't tried the cold brew yet, but I am looking forward to it as it sounds quite tasty. I am going to wait until it gets just a little hotter out & have this pool side, in my new glitter cup. This was a nice "Treat yourself" box to recevie, I had a lot of fun opening it and I know I will use everything that is in it one way or another.
 

Depending on which gift box you are looking to purchase be sure to check out the description on each box. The store owner provides you with a list of everything that comes in the box & makes a note in case anything in the box needed to be substituted & she does a fantastic job selecting a great replacement for anything that needs it. For example the cup in this box is shown on the website as having watermelon slices on it, but it is sold out so it was replaced with this really cute purple glitter cup. 

Everything is nicely packaged, the products in the gift box will be snuggly packed into some packing paper. The presentation itself looks great as well, mine came with an adorable Watermelon ribbon around the outside keeping everything together. They also offer custom orders & have singular products you can buy from scrubs to candles.

Prize Alert:

One lucky winner is going to receive a "Sending Sunshine" gift box, shown below.

Joanne Arden Organics Bath Set Review + Giveaway!

 

The holidays are quickly approaching & you might be looking for a few last-minute gift ideas. If you have someone on your holiday list who loves bath products, a gift basket in one of their favorite scents could be a great gift to get. A store front on Amazon called Joanne Arden Organics sells a wide range of gift sets in a variety of scents, I was recently gifted one of their Mom's Lavender set to test and I will be giving one of you a chance to win a set as well. This set sells for $24.99 on amazon and has a four and a half star rating on amazon.

This gift set comes in a cute pink toiletry bag that says "Worlds Greatest Mother" and "Amazing, Loving, Strong, Happy,Selfless,Graceful". On amazing it shows that they have the word "Mother" in blue to point out that the words used container the word within them, however the set I received those letters aren't blue they are the same color as the rest of the bag. The bath products included are a body butter, a bottle of body wash, a bottle of bubble bath, a bar of soap, muscle rub cream, a lip balm and a small glass bottle of bath oil. Most of the products have a lavender set to them however the bath oil is a eucalyptus spearmint and the muscle rub is coconut milk & honey. All of the products are big enough they will last through quite a few uses, which is pretty good considering when you break down the price for the seven products + the bag everything comes out to $3.12 each. 

The scent of the products aren't overwhelming or overly strong. I like the combination of the lavender and chamomile, it is calming and will help you de-stress after a long day at work or running errands. I like the toiletry bag, it is quite large and will hold a lot when going on a trip or you can use it as storage in your bathroom. The bundle arrived quickly & everything inside of the gift set was packaged nicely, everything was individually wrapped which made it feel like getting more than one gift and it also helps protect the packaging. 

What is your favorite scent when it comes to bath products?

Prize Alert:
One lucky winner is going to receive a Lavender Bath set just like the one shown above.

Exploring Earth - Science Kit Review!

 

If your child loves to collect rocks, loves science or enjoys learning about earth then the exploring earth kit from The Young Scientists Club line sold by Horizon Group USA would make the perfect gift for them this holiday season. This fun kit comes with a dig kit along with supplies for a few science based hands on projects your child will have fun completing. It is recommended for ages five to seven, however I see no reason a child older than seven wouldn't enjoy this as well.


One or two of the projects in this kit can get a little messy so I would suggest doing this kit when the weather is a little nicer out so you can complete them outside & save yourself the hassle. If heading outside to complete the projects isn't an option, you can always lay down a plastic table cloth which will help collect any messes. In total there are sixteen activities included  in this kit & not all of them need to be completed at once so your child can spread them out over the course of a few days. The first project we dove into was the mineral dig, in the book it shows that it is supposed to come with eight minerals in total - four that have been polished & four that are unpolished. Our kit only came with seven of the minerals, we completely broke apart the block then even smashed the pieces into dust to check for the lost gem but it was no where to be seen, while a small bummer it is alright because we still love the others. It came with a little wooden chisel, but I was surprised that a little wooden hammer wasn't included as there is usually a chisel/hammer set in the dig kits we've done in the past. To help contain the mess we did the dig kit on the inside of the box everything came in & did it out on our front porch because the chalk the gems are buried in tends to get everywhere. 

The second project I would suggest potentially doing outside is the exploding volcano, chances are it won't end up everywhere but just in case we did this outside too for an easier clean up. Thankfully we have everything on hand that is needed for this project minus the volcano cone which comes with this kit. I like that the booklet that comes with this kit telling you how to complete the projects also has fun facts about the earth & spots for you to write down your observations of the projects you complete. This kit would make a great kit to use any time of the year & I think it would make a great gift as well for any child in your life interested in STEM projects. 

My son is nine so he was able to complete all of these projects by himself, younger children may need a help with a step or two of the process which works out because the projects are fun to do together. Horizon Group USA sells this kit along with dozens of others across their lines that are perfect for young children, all of the kits are fun yet educational, plus the best part of all is that they are affordable. You can purchase their products on Amazon, or at big box stores such as Walmart, Michaels Craft Stores, Etc.

Paint your own Bluey light up figurine.


We always love seeing the new kits that Horizon Group USA comes out with. I have always been a big fan of crafts that can be used as a gift or have a secondary purpose, so it was awesome receiving this paint your own light up figurine! How neat is it that your child can paint their own night light featuring a well-loved character? 

I am going to be honest, I nor my kids have ever watched Bluey, but I've heard a lot of very positive reviews about the show from both adults & children. Even without having watched the show, both characters featured on this light up figurine are pretty adorable. I love that it comes with twelve different colors of paint, some craft kits stick to a primary four or five colors which can be a bit boring. The paints included in this let you paint the characters as they are on the show or allows you to come up with your own color combination. 

Along with having an assortment of paints to choose from the light itself changes colors! The figuring is made from a white plastic material, so it is not heavy & will be easy for your child to carry around with them if they need to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom or if they want to take it to stay the night at a family members house. Prices on this figure varies depending on where you are purchasing it from, for some reason it doesn't seem to be on Amazon at the moment, however it can be found at Target for $14.99 or at Hobby Lobby for $24.99. 

Is your child a fan of Bluey? Who is their favorite character from the show? If you or your child are not fans of Bluey, who would you like to see as a light up figurine?

Make a giftable handprint stone with Horizon Group USA!

My kids have always loved working on craft projects & doing hands on learning which is why we love being part of the review team for Horizon Group USA! Once every few months they send us a box with a few goodies in it to try out and share with our readers. Today I want to share the sand dough mold your own handprint stone from their Made By Me! Line. It can be bought on amazon for $7.99, or you can find some of their products in stores like Target, Walmart, Michaels & More. 

This kit has everything included that you need to create one handprint stone. It is recommended for ages six to nine, however with help smaller children would be able to use this as well and it is big enough for an adult to make a handprint as well. The dough comes in a pre-made block so there is no need to mix anything, your child will simply need to open the package & smooth the dough mixture out into the round mold. After smoothing it out into the mold they can make their hand imprint then leave it to dry for 12 hours. Once the 12 hours pass you will need to flip it over & remove the mold letting it dry for another 12 hours before it is ready to be painted.

I did notice that the dough was still slightly flimsy after two days of it air drying, but I am hoping that over time it will continue to harden a bit. The paint included in the kit looks great, some paints are thin and will soak into a project leaving you having to add multiple layers, this wasn't like that and only needed a coat. There will be extra paint left over so you can always save it for another project, we also liked that the mold doubled as a rinse cup for the paint brush. Once it dries completely you can add a hanger onto the back so you can display it on the wall, or prior to painting this before the drying stage you can use a straw to make a small punch out a ribbon can fit into for hanging purposes. 

You can check out their website or their amazon store to see all of the awesome products they sell.

Explore nature with the Nature Adventure Pack!

 

Horizon Group USA is a well known name in our house, we love the craft kits & other products they sell. There are a number of lines that Horizon Group creates & one of those is the Young Scientist Club which currently has several STEAM related kits including the Nature Adventure Pack that I am going to tell you about today! This kit can be purchased on amazon for $24.99, however their products can often be found on sale & are also available in big box stores such as Target & Michaels. 

We enjoy being outdoors with our kids, whether it is hiking, camping or just spending the day at the park it is nice to learn a bit about the world around us. This adventure pack comes with some great hands on learning activities. You'll get to build your own mini bee house to stick outside & see if any fuzzy little bee wants to call it home, after you build this cute mini home you can read through their information booklet that teaches you about different bee species along with an assortment of butterflies. 

Your child will also be able to complete a scavenger hunt, there are fourteen activities in total include in this cute hard shell backpack. My nine year old son had a lot of fun completing all of these activities & was able to do them all on his own when he felt like completing an activity. The carrying case makes it nice to store everything since your child might not want to complete everything at once, it also makes it convenient for travel, you could even take it with on a camping trip to learn about nature while in the outdoors. I also think this would make a great birthday gift if you are looking for a fun & productive hands on present for a child in your life.
