This is a speaker, headset and speakerphone. My husband loves this thing. The speaker quality isn't the greatest, but C had a blast playing with it. He is taking this to work for our “conference calls”. My husband loves techie gadgets like this.
Ashton Says: “Talk about efficiency at its finest. This speaker, handset and speakerphone combination is a terrific triple threat.”
This is a deck of cards with tips on how to be a proper gentleman. You can learn to tie a proper Windsor knot, or the proper way to taste whiskey. C also loved this and has been reading the cards all evening.
Ashton Says “Halloween is a month for disguises. Use these cards to help master yours”.
C wears jeans and a t shirt to work, so he won't use this much. It is a very nice pocket square though. This may be a gift for a trendy relative.
Ashton Says “This pocket square adds the perfect hint of Halloween flair”.

I am always excited to get Bluum. Bluum is $24.95 a month and each month, you get an assortment of goodies from lotions to toys and books for your child. Bluum curates each box by ages. Each theme is the same every month for every age, but the products within each box are different from month to month and from box to box. Bluum can be a bit different but I always like my boxes. I have heard they can be hard to cancel, so sign up with a re-loadable prepaid card.
First Look
Generally items don't fit the themes, but I was surprised by all the colorful items in the box.
Information Card
Bluum sends an information card with each month's theme. The back has more detailed information about your child during that month. The list of items in the box is emailed once your box is delivered.
I received another Early Lingo in my Stork Stack box. I like that this is part 1 of the series. I am still not crazy about having a dvd for my 20 month old. I will let my 4 year old watch this. It is always good to teach children another language.
This is Eczema & Sensitive Skin Formula. I am really excited to try this for T. He has eczema and I hope this can help. This has vitamin A, canendula, aloe vera, chamomile
I love Melissa and Doug and we don't have this toy. This is a fun toy, as you can put the rings in any order. T really likes this and has been playing with it, ever since he got it.
Luna Bar $2.00
I dislike Luna bars and carrot cake. I will just say yuck and move on.
This bib is made with organic cotton and non gmo soy fibers. This is really soft. I will probably save this for a baby shower. T doesn't use bibs unless it is mealtime, and then we use easy clean ones.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: I thought this box was really good. There were 6 items total in my box. I dislike the Luna bar, but it's only $2.00 of the total value. The total value of the box is $61.21. That is a really good value for a $25.00 box. My favorite items are the book, ring stack and the lotion, that is $32.92 right there! If you are interested in trying Bluum, click HERE.

The subscription box is $19.00 a month and the box ships out by the 15th of the month. Vermont Snacks sent me this box to review.
The Box
The box is cute and I like the decorative tape
First Look
Information List
The information list was very detailed and decorative. Vermont Snacks gave a list of each product and the background to that product.
This is a really tasty chewy bar. It was a bit crumbly but had a really great flavor. The company was founded by a mother of a little boy with a peanut allergy. Their entire line of food is made free of peanuts and all tree nuts. As a mother of a little boy with a peanut allergy, I love what this company is doing.
The beef in this was raised without antibiotics. This is flavored with sweet molasses and spicy peppers. I hate beef jerky and similar items, but I liked this. My husband and 4 year old son also really liked this.
This is organic and natural applesauce from Vermont farmers. My boys love applesauce and they ate this right up. I wish there was more!
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for the box was $7.74. I was disappointed by the value of the box. I love the idea of the box and enjoyed the products in it. I was hoping for a few more products in the box. I hope to see more value in the future boxes and I am excited to see future boxes from this company.

First Look
The Information Card

This is packed with aloe vera, cucumber, chamomile, marshmallow and tea plan botanical extracts. These are also oil free. I love facial cleansing clothes. While I have a full nightly skincare routine, after a long day, sometimes I just use a cleansing wipe and sleep. These are perfect for a long weekend away.
I love glitter polish. I am not sure how old, is too old for glitter polish, but I don't feel I am there yet. This is a nice clear glitter and perfect for layering over a bold color.
This lip pencil is made with cocoa and shea butter. It goes on super smooth and made my lips look bigger! I normally would not spend $20.00 on a lip liner, but it is a pretty great beauty product. It even has a build in sharpener on the lid. I am always loosing my sharpeners.

Bestowed is a subscription box full of healthy snack, food and beverages. It was founded by Heather Bauer. Heather is a registered dietitian and a best selling author of two books: The Wall Street Diet (Hyperion 2008) and Bread is the Devil (St. Martin's Press 2012). I was really excited when Bestowed asked me to review their box. This month, everything in the box is 100% GMO free! You might be wondering, what is a gmo? I didn't know myself, until recently. A GMO, is a “genetically modified organism”. It is plants or animals that have had DNA from bacteria, viruses, or other plants and animals, genetically engineered into the product.

First Look
Second Look
One of the first things I noticed, was how heavy the box felt. I love heavy boxes.
Information Guide
More Details
This is my favorite information guide of all subscription boxes. It has why they love each product (a full paragraph). They also include several places to buy the products, not just their own website. Lastly, there are tips on how to use each product. There was also information about GMOs in the book.
This has 11.5 ozs! I was really surprised that the package was so big. I don't like coconut, so I expecting to hate this. It's actually not bad. My husband really likes it and he also doesn't like coconut. There are 14 grams of protein in a serving and has low sodium. Nature's Path donates the equivalent of food to a food bank across America, for every bag Love Crunch sold. They are also sponsoring GMO OMG, a documentary about a dad unearthing the truth about GMOs and what is in our food. The movie will be in select theaters in October!
Again, I judged the package before eating. I don't eat black beans, I am a picky eater. I tasted these chips and they are so good! I ate them right out of the bag and with salsa. I could eat them any way. These are also loaded with protein and omega 3's! I am buying more of these.
I haven't tried this yet, but I will. You can mix this with orange juice, a smoothie or your morning cereal. This is packed with 10 amino acids as well.
I love spicy food, so these smoky chili and lime chickpeas are an A+ in my book. These only have 150 calories and 6 grams of fat in each serving. These also come in sea salt and sweet cinnamon.
These are AMAZING! Seriously, you have to try these. These are peanut butter cups without the junk like hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, GMOs, or artificial colors and flavors. Bestowed also included a recipe to use the unreal cups to make Peanut Butter Quinoa Cookies. Unfortunately, my peanut butter cups didn't make it for the recipe. They are outstanding.
This stuff is crazy good. This is an allergen friendly snack! L would really like this and I love that it doesn't have nuts. The seeds and fruit together make an amazing mix. I am going to order more of this. I love finding healthy snacks that I am willing to eat on a regular basis. Bestowed also suggested adding this to Greek yogurt or add to homemade pumpkin bread before putting it in the oven.
Bestowed mentioned that it is marathon season. I am actually a runner, although I am going from my first 5k to my first 5 mile race. Baby steps. Anyway, I was thrilled to get a product for runners. This helps replenish your body with 8 essential electrolytes. This is free from sugar and artificial ingredients. You mix a tablespoon with cold water, and you can drink this while running.
Coupons $10.00 for subscription
I love coupons. Bestowed included the following in the box:
* $1.00 off Nature's Path or Envirokids product
*Fiber Love Bar Club offer. Join and get your favorite bars delivered each month 30% off. You fourth month is free
* Free 1 year subscription to Women's Health Magazine $10.00 value
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for this box is $26.39. This is one of my favorite food boxes. I love the educational information that Bestowed sends. The quality of the food are top notch and I love that they include several places to buy each snack. I really felt Bestowed cares about their product, education and the health of it's subscribers. I would highly recommend trying Bestowed. You can try Bestowed for only $10.00, just use the code HELLOTEN103. This code expires 11/20. If you want to sign up, just click the picture below.
