Citrus Lane Box Review and 50% a Box for You!

**I received a Citrus Lane box for review purpose. I’m also an affiliate with Citrus Lane. Any opinions expressed are my own**

Citrus Lane is a box subscription service great for the little ones and the moms-to-be. When you sign up for Citrus Lane you’ll put your child(ren)’s ages and info in so Citrus Lane can customize a box just for your child. Citrus Lane boxes can be customized for newborn to 5 years old. This is a great way for mom and baby to try out some new kid friendly and mom approved products. They can contain a mixture of products like toys, snacks, clothing, baby care items, hygiene products, and more.

I had never tried the Citrus Lane boxes before. I’ve heard some positive things about it from other moms and bloggers. When I had the chance to try it myself, I jumped on it. My daughter is 7 months old so I had it customized for her. I didn’t know what types of things to expect. I see example pictures and I think “yea they promote the best box right” Well it would seem that they are all really good boxes. This is the box I received.

I really was excited about the box I received. My box contains:

Boon Dive bath applique set
Plum Organics Little Yums teething wafers
Babytime by Episencial Playful Wash shampoo and body cleanser
Green Tones Rattle Roller toy
BeginAgain Green Ring teether

All the products were full size except the Plum Organics Little Yums but there was three wafers in the package. For only $25/mo I think this box was really good. Shipping is always free. BUT I have an even better deal for you. If you are a new customer for Citrus Lane, you can get 50% off your first box. The 50% off does not work for 3, 6, or 12 month subscriptions only for the first box. That makes your first box only $12.50 with free shipping. I think it would be fun to send a subscription like this for the grandkids or a niece/nephew. I think my 4 year old son would be thrilled to get a box geared for his age. Think about it, fun stuff, practical stuff, snacks. He’d be all set for a while. I have had the opportunity to try a number of box subscription services and this is the best one to date. Definitely worth the money.

I also did a video if you want to see each individual item.

Add to the Magic of Christmas with SantaWillWrite.com

** My son received a Deluxe letter from SantaWillWrite.com in exchange for this post. I also have a chance to earn from sharing about SantaWillWrite.com. Any opinions expressed are my own**

Christmas is such and exciting and magical time for kids. They don’t think about how much Christmas is going to cost because Santa brings their toys. They don’t think about the time and supplies that go into baking Christmas cookies. They just enjoy the delicious cookies mom, dad, or grandma makes. They stay up Christmas Eve night, too excited to sleep wondering what will be under the tree and maybe try to peek out the window and see Rudolph’s nose. They put out their magic reindeer feed just knowing that Santa’s reindeer will eat it. I love to foster their imagination and keep the magic of Christmas with them for as long as I can. One exciting way to do that is to have Santa send them an actual personalized letter.

SantaWillWrite.com let’s Santa send your child a personalized letter. It will be sent to your child with their name on it in a big bright shiny envelope with a special address label. Santa’s signature is on the letters and when they open the envelope there’s Santa dust in each one. Santa makes sure each sibling receives a unique letter just for them. Letter start at $9.95 to $19.95 for a Deluxe letter from Santa.

My youngest son got the above envelope in the mail addressed to him. (I of coursed erased my address but trust me it is addressed to your child). This is the Deluxe package. My youngest son is 4. I helped him open the envelope. When he pulled out the contents the Santa dust came twinkling out. This was the contents of the package.

My son also got a Nice List Certificate in his package. He was happy to hear that he was on the nice list. He was proud to pose with a picture of his certificate. The certificate does have the full name on it but for my son’s privacy I blacked it out.

The Deluxe package had the personalized letter from Santa, a letter from Rudolph, the personalized nice list certificate, Christmas sticker sheet, holiday glitter tattoos, North Pole postmark, and of course the Santa dust. The letters come crease free so they can be framed if you like. This was a really nice package. The stationary was high quality. I love all the littler personalizations. I thought it was fun that Rudolph signed his letter with a hoof print. His letter was able to be personalized with his name, some of his tops wish list items, our home town, and what Santa was proud of him for. That would be being a good new big brother to his baby sister.

I could just see the excitement in my sons eyes. He was so proud of that certificate. He showed everyone that stopped by the house that day and then next.

If you want your child to get a letter fro Santa do so before December 17 to ensure your child(ren) get them on time. SantaWillWrite.com also has a promo code for Luv Saving Money readers for you to save 25% on your personalized letter. Use code: LuvSavingMoney25 this code expires December 17 as well to ensure Santa has time to get the letters out before Christmas.

Hand Sanitizer with NO Alcohol and Moistens Your Hands? Yes Please

**I received a sample of the below mentioned products in order to complete an honest review. No other compensation was received. Any opinions expressed are my own**

This time of year we have to worry about cold and flu germs. Carrying around a hand sanitizer is an easy solution to help keep away germs on the go. The only problem is, hand sanitizers with alcohol dry my hands out and I worry about having it around my little ones. Plus have you ever gotten dry cracked hand in the winter and then tried to use a hand sanitizer on it? Ouch is all I can say.

CleanSmart has a …well..smart solution to this problem. CleanSmart Hand Sanitizer gives you the convenience of a hand sanitizer without the downfalls of a traditional hand sanitizer.

CleanSmart Hand Sanitizer does not contain alcohol. It contains 99.9% of germs by using an ingredient your body already uses to fight germs, hypocholorus acid. It uses natural ingredients that mimic hypocholrous acid. CleanSmart is available in two different forms: spray and gel. I personally like the spray. You only need one or 2 pumps to cover your hands. I think it lets my kids use the right amount without over doing it. CleanSmart is clear with no noticable scent. The 2 oz bottles I received are a nice size to put in a purse or diaper bag.

I’ve been putting this to the test. I work in a hospital and have to wash my hands frequently. That coupled with the dry indoor air really dries out my hands. My poor knuckles are already starting to feel it. My daughter had to get her last round of the rotovirus vaccines. They warned us to wash our hands after changing her diapers for the next two weeks because it’s a live virus. So I’ve been washing my hands with that too. Well my poor dry hands were taking a beating. I put the spray and kind of braced for the sting on my knuckles, but nothing. No sting just felt clean. I was impressed.
