PoopBuddy Coupon!

That's right. It's says poop. PoopBuddy has arrived to keep you stocked up on doggy poop bags. These aren't your run of the mill pet shop variety that come in grey or blue. These are stylin. For just $8-10 per month depending on the plan you choose you get 4 themed rolls plus treats and/or accessories. PoopBuddy was kind enough to stock me up for the month so I could share my thoughts with you.

Could this package be any cuter?

I'm surprised but happy to see an info card. I guess I wouldn't expect one with poop bags :)
eco friendly bag
The variety I received. I love Halloween so this was an awesome assortment to get. 
pooyah
PooYah!
This stuff takes the stink out! Perfect for those occasions when you have to carry a used bag around for a bit until you can locate a trash. I hate when the stink follows you for miles along a nice hike!
Here's why I like this dispenser: It's not shaped like a fire hydrant or a bone. Again, that's all you'll find in a pet store. This one is useful but not cheesy and the flashlight at the end is quite handy.
I'm quite please with my PoopBuddy package. Poop bags do double duty in my house because I also keep a roll of them in my diaper bag for when we are out and about and there isn't a means of disposing of a diaper right away. I'm excited to see what patterns they come up with next! 

Don't forget to use the code SUBMARINE to score 20% off your first month!

RocksBox Free Month


I received my first RocksBox today and I couldn't wait to rip into it. This subscription is like having your own personal jewelry stylist. After taking a style quiz they send you 3 pieces worth an average of $200. You are then free to wear them around to decide if they are right for you. If not, you simply enclose them in the prepaid envelope provided to you and send them back! If you want to keep them you get 20% off the retail price. After you return the pieces you don't want and give your feedback regarding all pieces you received they send you a new set. So the more boxes you get the more your stylist gets to know just what you like. At just $19 a month you get to sport all sorts of new jewelry, even if you end up sending it back when you are done with it! You can also send them back immediately if you know they aren't right for you and have a new set sent. Regardless of how many swaps you do per month it's only $19. If you follow any of my links on this post you will get your first month free. Canceling can be done right on your account page. 

So here's what I got:
The Package
The Box and the return envelope.
I was dying to get it open at this point.
Inside.
Bing Band Double Trident Ring
Gamine Lia Earrings
Ava Long Layered Necklace in Mixed metals. 

I know in my survey I indicated I was fine with gold, but this seemed like a lot of gold to me. The earrings were a definite no because they are way too long for me. I guess my ears are to close to my shoulders because the ends of these are actually resting on my shoulders. The necklace was hard to photograph but it's delicate and pretty. The ring may be a little too edgy for me. The issue is that the RocksBox quiz asks you things like if your style is romantic, edgy, bohemian, rock, etc. Maybe I like to think I'm a little edgy/rock-n-roll but in reality maybe I'm not.  Regardless, I'm going to put in my thoughts on this box and I can't wait for the next one. Don't forget that you can get your first box free by clicking HERE or on any other link in this post..

I've got a ton of giveaways happening now.

Ipsy


This could be my favorite Ipsy month yet. For just $10 a month I totally scored.
ipsy
The Goods
The Bag - okay, I'm not loving this bag. It can go.
I used to use this stuff all the time, especially when my hair was shorter. I'm thrilled to get it. The had one that was just a couple ounces bigger on Amazon for $6.99 so I gave it a low estimate based off that.
I like Zoya polish (especially the Pixie stuff) but I don't love this color. It's a dark purple and I like lighter/brighter colors. I may find a new home for this one.
Yes, Yes, Yes. I love cleansing wipes (because I'm too lazy/tired to wash my face like a grownup) and I'm running low. Plus, we'll be hitting the road soon and these will come in handy. Believe it or not, I haven't tried LA Fresh yet. Somehow in all the sub boxes they come in I never get it! Price is calculated based on larger pack.
I have several shadow brushes but this is more of a contouring short stubbly one. I'm excited to see what I can manage with it. Because it's not my lack of makeup talent, it's the wrong tools, right?
Okay, so I know this is just Wet n Wild which you can find in almost any teenage girls backpack, but I freakin love the colors. They are perfect for me and just a little bit different from my usual colors.

So the value for the entire thing is $24.70. This is probably my favorite bag from Ipsy, yet, aside from the actual bag. I just checked it out and Ipsy ships to APO/DPO/FPO addresses! Yay for me! Ipsy is going to Japan with me!

MommiesFirst

It's MommiesFirst time! My favorite baby box. Each month is $30 or a little less if you sign up for a longer term.
 The Box
 The note from Lorena. This months box is titled Baby Firsts and it's all about my little man making big leaps in his development.
 The best info cards by far.
Okay, so I really just don't get these. Why not put pants on? And while the colors are gender neutral for some reason they just seem girly to me. 
I'm very happy about this item. I am sure it will come in use, and I may even want more.
The only thing that bums me out about these is that I just purchase the exact same ones a few days prior. 
This is an all natural topical pain reliever geared towards accident prone toddlers. We are just getting into the serious crashes around here and I haven't had a chance to test this out. 
From previous posts you know I'm a huge Avaha fan. So I was very excited to see this product. 

This months value was $45.33. Pretty good for the $30 spent. This definitely wasn't my favorite MommiesFirst box, but they can't all be fabulous. Right now MommiesFirst only goes up to 12 months so we are quickly aging out. I'm impatiently waiting the announcement that they are expanding.
