First Time Mom and Losing It

**This post was sponsored by FabFitFun via Bloggin' Mamas.


I love subscription boxes because it is a fun way to get new things you would have never thought of purchasing for yourself. Every time they come in the mail its like a surprise Christmas present to yourself! I have tried plenty of suscription boxes but one of the best themes is the FabFitFun subscription boxes. With FabFitFun you get "fashion finds, glam beauty secrets, and fab fitness gear". It is a lifestyle subscription box so you get a little bit of everything.

Every three months you get a new box of full sized seasonal products that are hand-picked by the people at FabFitFun.  You pay $49.99 four times a year and get at least $200.00 worth of products in each box!

I was lucky to receive the Summer 2015 box and here is what I got:


Wren 14Kt Golad and Black Sapphire Necklace ($100) : The necklace and pendant are 14 karat gold dipped. You had the chance of getting a horseshoe, heart, or moon, each with a black sapphire. I was lucky to get the horseshoe. This is my favorite item of them box.


The Everyday Wireless Speaker by FabFitFun ($29.99): A cute and pink portable and wireless speaker that is perfect to take with you on picnics, trips to the beach and more. The great thing about this speaker is that is also is an FM radio.


Inkling Scents Sultry Roll-On Oil Perfume ($25): It has no alcohol so it's pure perfume oil. It has notes of sandalwood, white amber, lotus flower, orchid, Bulgarian rose and vanilla. I love that it is small enough to take with me and that the oil makes it long lasting.


Gorge "I'll Make You Look Amazing" Daily Spray ($24.95): It is a spray on leave-in conditioner that really does a lot! It helps with dry, frizzy hair and protects again heat styling products. It leaves no residue so I have been using it daily.


Tarte LipSurgence Lip Gloss ($19): It's a pretty plum color and is infused with vitamin E, jojoba seed oil, and flower extract. It isn't sticky like most lip glosses so I will probably be leaving this one in my bag.


FabFitFun x CosmoBody Jump Rope ($14): What could be better than a black and pink jump rope! FFF teamed up with CosmoBody to bring workout videos to go along with the jump rope. You can check it out at fabfitfun.com/jumprope.


Scratch Nail Wraps ($12): Cool designed nail wraps. I love the graphic designs on these and will be trying them out soon.


Headspace 3-Month Subscription ($38.85): This app takes you through guided meditations when you want where ever you are.


Hello Konjac Cleansing Sponge ($12): It is a gentle exfoliating cleansing sponge that thoroughly cleanses your pores. It is made of vegetable fibers.


Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Spray Moisturizer ($7.99): A cooling spray on lotion that moisturizes your skin and absorbs in seconds! This item is sponsored so it's a freebie in the box.

Try the World is a subscription box service that sends out boxes of food items in the theme of a country. Every two months you get to travel through foods of the specific country that has been hand selected by an expert chef. The box is full of 6-7 items that are staples of that country and a guide that gives information and even recipes to use the items right away.


I got to the sample the Buenos Aires, Argentina box that was chocked full of items I wanted to try all at once. First of all I loved how beautifully packed the box was. It came in a sweet teal box that was heavy duty and beautifully lined. I will be recycling the box as storage. I received the following items:








Everything was really delicious and I really enjoyed trying out the red wine and honey sauce with turkey tenderloin. I spread the Dulce De Leche onto the Sweet and Salty butter cookies and at was the prefect complement of sweet with a little bit of saltiness. I took chimichurri sauce and olive spead to create the sandwich below.

Chimichurri Roast Beef Sandwich

• 1 brioche bun
• 2 ounces roast beef
• 1 ounce smoked gouda, sliced
• 2 tblsp chimichurri sauce, more or less to taste
• 1 tblsp olive spread

I love subscription boxes because I love surprises. I also love trying out things that I probably would have never thought about trying. Now that I am well into my weight loss journey I love trying health related things.

A lot of health products come with hefty prices so sometimes I want to try something but I don't want to commit to the price in case it doesn't work for me or I just don't like it. I spent 20 dollars on a container of protein powder that I could not stomach the taste. It was money down the drain!

The Bulu Box is a health, nutrition and weight loss subscription box designed to help you feel your best. Each month, you get a custom box filled with 4 to 5 premium samples from top brands. Shipping is free and you can cancel anytime.

In my November 2014 Weight Loss Box I got the following:

I received a Sudz Club bag free in an exchange for a honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. 



I don't know about you but I am always running out of essentials like toothpaste and razors. I always have to run to the drug store last minute and pay a big price for something not on sale. Before baby and my weight loss journey I had the time to sit down and make lists and look at sales and coupons.

When Sudz Club wanted to me to review their December bag I thought it would be a match made in heaven. The Sudz Club is a subscription bag where you get neccessites like toothbrushes, deodorant body wash, etc. every month. Bags start as low as $20.99 if you choose the year subscription to $30 if you get just one month. Each month you get a value of about $50.


Each month you get a drawstring bag filled with:

• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Body wash 
• Loofa
• Deodorant
• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Razors 
• Shaving Cream

My daughter loves animals and can name so many of them. Right now she is into making all of the animals sounds. I jumped at opportunity to review the Animal Trackers Club with my daughter. I love that she can learn all about different animals in a fun, educational and hands-on way.


The Animal Trackers Club is an affordable subscription program that is geared towards 3-7 year old children. Each month your child gets to "track" a different animal with instructional materials and hands-on learning.

In the initial subscription box you get an Animal Trackers Club Safari Lunchbox loaded with different animal items. Your child can use the lunch box to play with all the different animal magnets they will receive and also as storage for all the items.


After the initial shipment you will get monthly packets of a new animal that includes:

• Animal Information Card
• Animal Play Figure
• Animal Foam Mask
• Animal Magnet
• Safari Animal Photo Card
• Learning Activity
• Art Project

My daughter loved the zebra figure and even used it by letting her little princesses ride on it :). She really enjoyed the art activity that included these fun magic zuudles that she got to stick on the stripes of the zebra. I read the information cards to her and showed her the different pictures on the cards. We also played with the flash cards that came with the initial kit matching the fronts and backs of the animals.


There are 4 plans available for purchase.

• Monthly Plan $11.95 +3 shipping
• 3 Month Plan $36.00 +$3.00/month Shipping
• 6 Month Plan $70.00 +$3.00/month Shipping
• 12 Month Plan $135.00 +$3.00/month Shipping

This would make an amazing Christmas gift that keeps on giving. You can find out more and purchase a monthly plan here: http://www.atcssc.com/animal-trackers.html
