Citrus Lane March Review

Citrus Lane is a subscription service a friend of mine turned me onto. I had previously tried Bluum and wasn't thrilled with it, but she kept insisting that Citrus Lane offered a better box. So I took the plung, again because I got a great deal.

You just can't keep me away from a great deal.

Here's a shot of the open box with all it's goodies. {Which I'm so glad I took because I can't find the insert that has the item list and the goodies are now scattered near and far.}


Contents {With Amazon Prices}

$20 off JustFab.com
JustFab.com is subscription shoe site, they claim you answer a style quiz and they select styles that you'd like. Every item is $39.95 so with this coupon $19.95. I may use it to try to find some cute boots but otherwise it will probably be given to a friend. 

Green Sprouts Easy-To-Go Feeding Set $1.50
This set is great, if you're feeding purees. It comes with a disposable bib, spoon, wipe, and feeding guide. We will use it for the bib and wipe but the spoon will probably get thrown in the drawer. 

Wee Gallery Art Cards $13
These are fun little cards. They each feature a patterned black and white animal, such as a lion, with reverse colors on the back of the card. I would have been great visual stimulation at a early age, but I'm not sure how much use we will get out of them, other than as an added source of fiber in her diet. We have been using them to teach animal sounds, however, since you don't see jungle animals in many of our books. {Could someone please tell me what the zebra says?}

Begin Again Green Ring Teether $10
Great product! Love the natural wood and rubber combo. Madison loves how easy it is to hold and chews on it often. I only wish it were shaped to help with those molars she's trying to break free. Surely would recommend this product!

Weleda Calendula Weather Protection Creme $12
THE. BEST. STUFF. EVER! Yes, I said it. But we haven't used it for it's intended use yet. Madison has a irritation on her chin from all the drooling of teething mixed with dry weather. At points it's made me hurt to just look at it. We've been doing breastmilk and coconut oil on it with minimal results. Usually it clears up and comes back in a day or two. 

However! We put this on it the day we got it and it almost immediately looked better. It forms a great barrier so the drool never gets to the skin to irritate it. Her little chin looks a million times better since we've been using this. My husband has used it for his cracked hands with relief. I'm always on the hunt for natural products that work and this one is a hit. I will be buying a bigger bottle. 

NurturMe Food Packets + Recipe Card $3
We haven't used these yet, so I can't speak to the taste, but I love the idea. They're packets of dried, powdered friuts and vegetables that you can either mix with breastmilk, formula, or water to make a puree, or sprinkle on their foods for added nutrition. {Who said Mac-N-Cheese wasn't good for you? Veggies with your eggs? Yes, please.}

Over all I was very pleased with the selections. I like that they include coupon codes for future purchases of most of the items. Again, I can't pass up a good deal. My only complaint is that the items were geared toward the lower end of her age range, but I am still looking forward to what will be in our next box! 

P.S. Use coupon code TAKEHALF to get your first box for half price!!
