The month's theme is Oh the places you'll go - Traveling with your little ones
Here is the unbox video for my June Bluum Box -
Do you have any travel plans with your little ones this weekend? Did you get this box also? Thank you for visiting and don't forget to follow my blog for new posts!
The popular UK monthly subscription has made its debut in April with Glossybox US and petiteBox US. petiteBox is a curated box program for expectant moms and moms with infants under 12 months.
Many of you know that I have been a fan of Bluum for almost 6 months and was interested to see how this box differed.
Glossybox is as popular in the UK as Birchbox is to the US. You can find many unboxing videos of the Glossybox US all over youtube.

Each month subscribers will receive an elegant package with an array of premier products that have been lovingly curated by the petiteBox team of experts - from beauty and bath products for mom to the newest innovations for baby.
This is my 5th Bluum box and I continue to enjoy the goodies I get for baby and I!

FTC: A huge thank you to Nicole of Bluum Inc & team for allowing me to host a sponsored giveaway of a Bluum Box! Giveaway box was sent by Bluum for giveaway at no cost, I am in no way affiliated with the company or products mentioned. No cash compensation is being received for hosting this giveaway. April's Bluum Box was purchased by me. Any opinions about this product is 100% honest and are not construed or influenced by Bluum.
With the hormones during and after pregnancy along with the weather changes, I felt my skin had taken a beating! While pregnant, I did all natural/diy masks to help pamper my skin and ensure that I was using products that weren't harmful to my daugher or me. Now almost three months after her birth, I continue to look for products that will help me revitalize my skin and be proactive about caring for my skin from inevitable future wrinkles.
In the middle of March, I received my month's box from Bluum and found two products that really addressed my aforementioned concerns. They were the Weleda Almond soothing facial lotion and the Weleda Wild Rose smoothing night cream.
A December deluxe box from gogogirlfriend in March is very poor customer service!
I have had bad service after my first box and decided to get a deluxe box as my last hoorah with this company. Well, it took them 3 months to get me this box. Good riddance. Being a birchbox member for 10 months now, customer service and transparency of when boxes would be received is high on their priorities - which didn't seem to be the case with gogogirlfriend.
This deluxe box was offered to members and contained many full size items well worth over the value paid - $28.
After calculating the value of each item in this box, it came out to over $50 which in turn saved me over $30!
Yet another unboxing! I have one more box and I'll be done for January on my monthly boxes. Lol.

The (initial) Skinny:
I love the concept of a Birchbox version just for moms with infants and toddlers, which are right up my alley! Boxes arrive in a timely manner and they send you shipping information on your box when it's sent out. They time it so that you receive an email talking about the items you just received after you've gotten your month's box. I'm really excited about so many of the items because they are items that I wouldn't personally buy just at first glance but now I get to try them out before I decide to purchase! You can also earn credits that can be used towards full size purchases by doing reviews on products you've received for the month!
Are you interested in signing up for a Bluum box (or 3?)?
