Every Day Effort: Baby Bump Bundle Review : A New Subscription Service!

Subscription Service boxes.

What comes to mind when you think of a subscription service?

I've tried so many different services, mostly beauty. Birchbox was my first beauty subscription, followed by Ipsy, Glossybox, Beauty Army and Starlooks.

However, I wanted to know if there was something that catered to pregnant moms like myself. Or just moms in general actually. I mean, there is a lot of WEIRDO stuff that goes on when you are pregnant. If you are currently pregnant or have been before, you know what I am talking about! Some weird, crazy shit that you are like "what is going on with my body? This has NEVER happened to me before. HELP I'VE BEEN POSSESSED!" (OK that last bit might just be me....a tad over dramatic)

I came across Baby Bump Bundle while researching on the good ole' Google. Her webpage was SO cute and user friendly. It was organized but not misleading and I'm telling you, in today's day and age...you NEED...you MUST have a good website. This site was warm and inviting, using colors associated with babies but also a really nice font that grabbed the eye and made you want to check out more.

Anyway, let's get into what was INSIDE shall we?

This tea is called Earth Mama Angel Baby Organic Third Trimester Tea. According to the website (www.earthmamangelbaby.com) it states the following about this product. And since I haven't tried it yet, I guess you have to take them at their word :-)

"USDA Certified 100% Organic, Certified Kosher and Non-GMO Project Verified Third Trimester Tea was formulated as a tonic for mamas who are heading into the home stretch (pardon the pun)! This delicious blend of vitamin and mineral packed herbs was formulated especially to nurture all those mama parts gearing up for the joyous arrival of your angel baby.

Blended with 100% organic herbs, including Red Raspberry Leaf (an all-around great pregnancy herb), iron-rich Stinging Nettle, calming Chamomile and Rosehips (both full of vitamins and bioflavonoids), and calcium filled Oat Straw, Third Trimester Tea is a brilliant blend of Mother Nature's gifts to mamas-in-waiting.

All Earth Mama teas are naturally caffeine free, in biodegradable, easy to brew tea bags. 100% recycled and recyclable cartons. Steep, sip and enjoy!

• Certified by Oregon Tilth
• Non-GMO Project Verified
• Gluten-free"

I don't know about you, but when I hear something has OAT STRAW in it, I'm just over the moon to try it! I mean, if cow's eat Oat Straw, then I can drink it!

I'll let you know if it helps "nurture all those mama parts" later on in my third trimester.

Next up was these socks by Rock These Socks. I'm basically sold on these socks for the following reasons:
1.) The name is awesome.
2.) I have hardly any socks anymore.

Need I say more?

Next up was this ADORABLE bag and what goodies it held in store for me! I love the colors on this bag! But I also love how large it is. It can seriously hold a lot of makeup, bathroom stuff, etc. This bag is going into my hospital bag for sure! Plus it also is that cool kind of fabric that stuff just wipes right off of. And I am sure that later on, when the baby is barfing and gacking and spitting up all over me, I'm going to be glad for one less thing to clean.

I was really excited about these things. I had done some research on the Baby Bump Bundle website and I think I was most excited about this brand. I'm all about soft skin. And since that skin seems to be growing exponentially these days, I want to try to prevent any extra damage I can.

Amazon has the product description for the Cooling Leg and Foot Cream as the following:

"Aching feet? Tired legs? Treat yourself to this soothing, revitalizing cream. Thanks to Bella B's all-natural ingredients, it's perfect for expectant and new moms (although you don't need to be one to love it!). Made with organic shea butter and jojoba, so it's also deeply moisturizing. Our testers liked its luxurious feel and clean, refreshing scent, a far cry from the harsh menthol smell of other creams. We also like the exceptional value of Bella B's all-natural products. An invigorating, natural pick-me-up; great for foot and leg massages. The 6 oz. tube will last a long time. Additional ingredients include organic aloe vera leaf juice, cocoa seed butter, and organic avocado oil Use once or twice daily Hypoallergenic. Free of petroleum, lanolin, parabens, and other artificial preservatives. Not tested on animals."

No testing on animals? Sold. Jojoba? I've heard that word a bunch in conjunction with moisturizing...so I'm good there.

Getting my husband to actually rub my legs and feet with it? Unlikely. So while I can still reach those little sausage toes, I'll handle this.

The next Bella B item was the Relieved Perineal Spray.

"Speed your post partum recovery with soothing Bee Relieved perineal spray by Bella B(R). Made from gentle, all-natural ingredients, it relieves swelling, inflammation, and itching, so you feel better sooner and won't miss a minute with your newborn! Made with calming witch hazel, organic olive oil, cucumber, and honey, with a pleasant, light citrus scent. It's hard to find affordable, all-natural skincare products on par with Bella B! Use twice daily before or after pregnancy or whenever irritation occurs. Moms who've used it swear by it. Hypoallergenic. 5 fl. oz. Free of petroleum, lanolin, parabens, and other artificial preservatives. Not tested on animals."

Go ahead and Google where your Perineal is. Just don't Google IMAGE it. Or scar yourself. Your choice people, if you are into that sort of thing.

Apparently all the pushing and grunting and getting a bowling ball out of you can really do some damage to those lady parts. This spray is supposed to help with the swelling and inflammation of those parts.

I don't really want to think about it right now. I definitely don't want you think about me like that either.

All the reviews on Amazon said it was great and worked wonders. I usually believe what reviewers say. I figure if some woman took the time out of her busy life as a newborn mom to write a positive review, then it MUST work.

So this is a + in my book!

This is a really really pretty color of nail polish by a company called Knocked Up Nails.

I really needed to paint my nails, so I am stoked I got this in my bundle!

Although this picture sucks and this is only one coat.

But I'm good with the color and the polish!

At the bottom of the adorable bag was this chapstick. I am a CHAPSTICK-O-HOLIC. I'm not ashamed to admit I am addicted to Carmex. ( Yeah yeah I know its full of chemicals and bad shit, I don't care I'll never stop) But this little guy, also made by Earth Mama Angel Baby.com, is super moisturizing! And smells pretty damn awesome. I'm not even gonna take it out of the bag until I go into the hospital. I will lose it if I do and if I get into that hospital with not a damn chapstick anywhere, I will flip my laboring lid!

Last but not least was this cute little frame. Although it's a bit creepy, like "hey look at this thing I'm growing in here. Here's hoping we have a little human!"

But I'm sure others who are less sarcastic and more sentimental than I, they would LOVE this.

Final thoughts:

I think this service is super awesome. I wish I had found it when i was just starting my pregnancy instead of just entering the third trimester. They send you bundles once a trimester, and they also have options for new moms and moms with toddlers. Not only that, you can buy individual items off the website as well. So if you absolutely loved that Perineal Spray by Bella B, you can just hop on over to her website and buy it!

The owner is really nice and it seems like she runs this business all by herself. So if you are into supporting new entrepreneurs and small businesses, then I think you should run over to her site and at least check it out.

BabyBumpBundle.com also has a ton of social media links! I think you should go make sure you are following them all!
