Sweet Pea Box Review May 2013

    May is a difficult and changing month for kids clothing box companies, whether to Sweet Pea or Wittlebee.  Both companies are under new management and both companies are experiencing some growing pains.  At this time Sweet Pea is transitioning well with continuous shipment and communication to customers.  While Wittlebee seems to have some inventory shortage.  I truly hope both companies can prosper and succeed so we customers can enjoy even better deals and wider choices.

    My Sweet Pea Box (Bag) from the new owner arrived on June 3rd, shipped on May 25th and billed on May 18th.  As usual, I am very happy to see my Sweet Pea Box.

    If you are interested, email customerservice@sweetpeabox.com and mention "Three Princesses in NY".  I don't get money for referral but they may put something nice in my box, so big thank you!  :)

    My style is "Preppy" and the box is split into age 6, 5, and 2.



My size 2:
Ralph Lauren swimwear, retail $49.5:  This is a wonderful set!  They are so cute and perfect for the season.  LOVE!  :D  Not that I would literary spend $50 on kids swimwear but this set makes my whole box worthwhile!
Crazy 8 Sparkle Cupcake Flutter Tee and Stripe Bow Pocket Knit Short, retail $9.95 each:  They are soft and fun summer colors.  




My size 6/5
Crazy 8 Giraffe Bow Tank, retail $9.95.
Cutie Patootie mid-thigh cotton twill short with silver lurex and front pocket taping, tag says $26:  Nice solid shorts, perfect for my wild Princess Alpha.  She is pretty rough on clothes so these will be her go-to summer item.


Penelope Mack Spagetti strap top and woven shorts, I think they are from Macy's.  I guess they are about $20.  Nice light woven cotton material with delicate floral pattern.  Pretty cute.


O'Neill's Pumpkin Dress, retails $38.  I love the color!  Light and airy.  So pretty!



Overall the total value  would be $163.35.  For some shopping savvy moms they may find some good deals on some of the items but for $50 shipped to home, I am very happy.  It is fun to have surprises too.



I also scored the Violet + Moss top/dress for $10 on their Memorial Day blitz sale.  It is 100% organic cotton and the print are so sophisticated and adorable.  Its retail price is probably $30.



If you are interested, email customerservice@sweetpeabox.com and mention "Three Princesses in NY".  8 items for $50, 6 items for $40 and 4 items for $30.

Honest Company products review

I love organic and chemical free things, from clothes, food, to baby and cleaning products, so when I read about Honest Company, I knew I had to try it.

http://honest.com/accept_invitation/278752

They are offering free trial.  Just pay $5.95 for shipping and you get the baby sample pack and the essential sample pack.  A great deal to start sampling their products.

So for $5.95, these are what I got.




The Essential Sample Pack:
Honest Healing balm :  sooth, nurture and protect sensitive skin
Honest Hand Soap 2oz.:  advanced plant-based cleaning --organic lemongrass
Honest Face and Body Lotion:  nourishing, calming, and hydrating moisturizer
Honest Laundry Detergent 2oz.:  advanced plant-based cleaning
Honest Shampoo and Body Wash 1oz.:  pure, plant-based, hydrating cleanser




7 colorful diapers and 10 wipes
They have 13 different patterns for a little sophisticated look, so no more Huggies or Pampers designs!
Wipes are thick and "medical-grade" cloth.





I have tried all the samples.  They are light to apply and just feel very natural and with a nice light fragrance.  According to their website, they contain pomegranate, chamomile, cucumber, organic olive, safflower oils, calendula and lavender, etc.

I am just tired of all the chemicals in the household products.  My princesses have eczema and allergy, so switching to this "free & clear" company is something I could do.


Check out The Honest Company! You can get a free trial of their non-toxic, eco-friendly home and baby products at Honest.com. I gave them a try and I love it!

Sweet Pea Box Review February 2013



I just love reviewing my Sweet Pea Box.  It is a children clothing subscription club that delivered to your house monthly.  You pick from 3 options and prices.  You can even divide the box into 3 kids, just note it in the comment box. 

* 4 item box is $30
* 6 item box is $40
* 8 item box is $50
Shipping is FREE!

They offer clothes for girls and boys ages from 0 to 8.  If you are interested, email customerservice@sweetpeabox.com and mention "Three Princesses in NY".  I don't get money for referral but Sweet Pea may put something nice in my box, so big thank you!  :)

My February box was unbelievably great!!

My style is Preppy and the box is split into age 6, 4, and 24 Months.

And a super plus note to their customer service.  The dress I received last month has a hole at the sleeve.  I emailed them with photos of the hole and they replied quickly stating they would send a new replacement in this month box.


I got
Tea Collection Forget Me Not Dress size 6 (the replacement) retail $25 or more:  Just LOVE this dress!
Tea Collection halter tank and shorts size 6 retail $35 or more:  What can I say, just WOW!
Maggie and Zoe dress/ tunic in grey:  very nice style and good quality.
Kate Quinn Organics dark green dress size 7 retail $25 or more.





Carter's red flower set size 24Month: good quality clothes
Old Navy butterfly top size 2: cute
Violet and Moss pink dress size 5:  100% organic cotton, retail $25 or more.




I am just blown away by this month box!
If you are tired of the drama of Wittlebee and want a little surprise, Sweet Pea Box is for you.

Citrus Lane Box Review April 2013


This is a girl box for almost 5 year olds (61 months).
Very excited to see the yellow box from Citrus Lane.
They usually shipped on the 15th of the month and get to me around 17-22th.

I really have to compliment Citrus Lane about their customer service.  The first box I received the shampoo/body wash was leaky and a couple of my items are covered in the body wash.  I emailed them and they sent out a new box by USPS priority mail (like three-day shipping).  Very happy with their solution.





In the April Citrus Lane box:

Wooden Stamp set from Melissa & Doug:  Retail $7.99.  Princess Alpha actually used this to create one of her "Happy Mother's Day" card.  Priceless!



Keepin' Fresh Kids Food Storage from Innobaby:  Retail $4.  Freezer-, microwave- and dishwasher safe, free from BPA, phathalates, PVC and lead.  Good stuff, whether to store leftover food, snack, or stacking toys.


Non-slip Placemat from Oogaa:  Retail $8.99.  Very useful for kids dining, and the pattern is cute too.



Shampoo & Body Wash from The Honest Company and a 20% off couopon:  Retail $9.95.  Natural and organic, that's enough to "sold" me.



Overall, very happy with this box.  Well done, Citrus Lane!




They are $25 per month and if you use my link, you save $10.  For $15 a box, that would be a great deal!
And for three months they have been selling out their boxes so if you want to get one, get it fast!
