SUBSCRIPTION BOX HAUL - REVIEW & UNBOXING!

I am a HUGE fan of subscription box services. I've been a faithful subscriber to both Popsugar and Ipsy since last year and am now exploring a few new (to me) options. For this video I collected 7 different boxes throughout the month of May to unbox and share with you! I had a really hard time not opening them right away and waiting to record this video. ;) I hope you enjoy!



SUBSCRIPTION BOXES MENTIONED
Naturebox - Get 50% off your first box! Definitely worth trying.
Citrus Lane - Also get 50% off your first box. Yes! And there is a multiple month saving option!
Popsugar Must-Have Box - $40 per month, also has a multiple month saving option.
Ipsy - Take the quiz and review the products you receive in your "glam room" to get products that fit you better. :)
Julep Maven - You can get your first box free, but note that you have to call in order to cancel your service if you don't want it automatically renewed month after month.
Birchbox
Sample Society

On top of already loving Popsugar and Ipsy, I think my new all-time favorites are Citrus Lane and Naturebox. What are some of your favorite subscription services? Any you recommend I should try?

FAVORITE DIAPER // CAMERA // WORK BAG REVIEWS

I really love a great bag, and by great bag I mean...well-made, attractive, has lots of organized pockets, and is practical for many uses. Over the past couple years I developed a small collection of these types of bags from four fantastic small-businesses. I love each of them and find myself using each of these bags in different ways. I'm not a fan of an obvious diaper bag, so having something that looks great and is super functional is a huge plus!

Check out my favorites and get a detailed review on each of these diaper/camera/work bags plus a good peek inside!



PRODUCTS MENTIONED
* Rose Teal Bag - Jo Totes
* Charlie Bag - Timi & Leslie
* Libby Bag - Kelly Moore
* The Madeline Bag - Lily Jade

OH BABY: 4MOMS ROCKAROO + GIVEAWAY!

One of the most exciting/daunting and fun things about becoming a new mom is learning about baby gear! I've had so much fun researching what moms are loving, what works for different families, registering for our favorites and getting little Soren's nursery together. We are just a mere 2.5 weeks away from due date and doing our best to prep our hospital bags and put the final touches on his space. :)

Through a lot of my findings and obsessive Pinterest pinning for baby, I kept coming across the company 4moms. I immediately fell in love with their products upon taking a browse around their site with my mom. What made me fall for them initially was their innovative and slightly "geeky-tech" products, and we love us some good geeky-tech products over here at the Wallace household! I definitely watched all of their videos on each product and was such a fan-girl when they announced their new releases for 2014! So you can only imagine that when they reached out to me about working together I had a pinch-myself, freakout moment!! And let me tell you, seeing their products in person does not disappoint! We can't wait for Soren to try them out. As Jon and I were putting together this chair we kept wondering when 4moms was planning on coming out with an adult size of this product. I could sleep in something like this for days! Also as a huge plus, I love that their pieces have a simple aesthetic and aren't over the top in the looks department. No insane looking zoo animals and crazy colors over here!

So! Let's get to some of the reasons why I'm digging the rockaRoo:


1// Mobile - This sweet little Mobile is such a great detail. I love that one side is black and white and the other is a bright colorful pattern. Perfect for little one's developing eyes. I also love that they are removable and great for playing and nomming on! 

2// Plush Seat - The rockaRoo currently comes in three different colors and the fabric they use is SO soft and plush. The cover is easily removable and washable so if baby spits up or has an accident, it's easy to clean, which is always important with little ones! I also love that is has a way to strap-in the baby so you can know he/she is safe and cozy. ;)

3// Great Recline - I love that the position of the seat is perfect for baby to sleep in and play in. I can already see this being a great piece to keep in my studio when Soren is really little. 

4// Five Speed Setting - One of Jon's and my favorite things about this product is the quiet motor. The rocking motion is perfect and the 5-speed setting is great, but we especially love that it's quiet! And just to touch on the rocking motion, it's such a smooth and nice motion. Again, wishing they made an adult size!

5// MP3 Plug-In - I also love the detail of including a plug-in and speakers. You can easily plug in your phone and soothe baby with his/her favorite playlist or nature sounds. :)


Overall, we are big fans of 4mom's over here and we can't wait to have Soren try their products out for himself! :) AND to celebrate the launch of the new rockaRoo, 4mom's is offering one of my readers the chance to win one of their own!!! Check out the giveaway details below. :)

PROJECT CONDO: VOL 25


I'm crazy about these beautiful science posters from vol25. Jessica recently released the series and I had an insanely difficult time picking out my favorite. I love that these posters come ready to hang with rustic handmade wood framing. This beautiful butterfly and feather poster are also on my wish-list too!

This is currently it's temporary home until I find the perfect place for it. I'm thinking it might look great in the living room or the hallway once I get my behind into gear and finish up the decorating! ;)
