Oxford Momma is a self-care book subscription box for moms delivered to your door step monthly. Tiffany Barry, owner of Oxford Momma and author of the blog, Mom Goes Mental, knows just how important self-care is for mothers and has curated a box with moms in mind. Every month subscribers receive a book, along with 4-5 self-care items all packed inside a cute, pink box for $39.99. They were kind enough to send me the June 2018 box to review.
June Oxford Momma Theme
The theme for the June 2018 box is ENJOY. When you first open the box you will find a small booklet with a short paragraph written by Tiffany, a few self-care tips, and a list of the items included in the box. Tiffany wrote, “It’s so easy to get so caught up in the hum drum of daily life that we forget to just stop and enjoy ourselves and our children.” As a mother of two, I can relate to that sentence so well. Mothers are constantly on the go, hardly ever keeping their own needs in mind. Whether you’re a new mom or a seasoned mom, sometimes it is good to step back and take time to care for yourself, even if it’s reading a few pages in an inspirational book while you wait in the school pick up line. Slow down, take in the little moments, and just ENJOY it!
MaskerAide Sheet Masks
Front and center you will find Sheet Masks from MaskerAide ($11) which is a June BONUS item. How great is that? This mask purifies, detoxifies, and deep cleans your skin with bubbly fun! I have recently seen a trend of bubble masks, so I was excited to receive these in my box to try! The best part is, these masks only need a quick 5-10 minutes to get the job done. Grab one and put it on while you pick out your outfit for the day or maybe even during naptime.
Moi Candle Co. Clean Cotton Soy Candle
The Clean Cotton Soy Candle from Moi Candle Co. ($18) is available exclusively in the Oxford Momma subscription box! “This candle vibes clean sheets, wiggly bodies in fresh pajamas, and a pile of laundry you didn’t fold yourself.” This aromatic soy candle can burn up to 45 hours leaving the freshest scent throughout your home.
This Mom Pin by Drawings by Nicole
This Mom Enamel Pin by Drawings by Nicole ($12) is one of my favorite items in the box. It’s the perfect addition to an everyday outfit or even a cute purse add-on to carry around. I love the message and I’m sure so many mothers out there could use this daily reminder.
Now or Never Notepad
Next in the box is the Now or Never Notepad by Joha ($10) which features the pink and purple watercolor quote at the top and Oxford Momma website printed at the bottom. I love stationary, I don’t think you can ever have enough memo pads, so I was excited about this product and the two “You Are Loved” Pencils included. I already stuck them in my bag for quick memos or to write down my grocery list.
I Can and I Will Print
I Can and I Will Watercolor Art Print by Joha ($3) is next up! I love inspirational quotes and like hang them around my craft room. The quality of the paper is amazing. You can tell it will hold up well, especially if framed. I even love the idea of writing a little note and sending it to a mom friend because you never know just who may need a beautiful reminder to brighten up their day!
I Love You with All My Butt
Last, but certainly not least, you will find the book of the month! I Love You with All My Butt ($15.95) is filled with “heartfelt words of love and the sweetest insults imaginable”. Martin Bruckner, artist and father of two, illustrated this book to bring children’s funny words and wild imaginations to life. Throughout the book are quotes like “I love you for five more minutes. Is it five yet?” and “Mommy, are you still wearing your angry eyebrows?”, some with a short backstory, and all illustrated so perfectly it will surely give you a laugh.
Oxford Momma June 2018 Review – Final Thoughts
I absolutely love the idea of a subscription box for mothers! It is nice to take an hour or two off from all of the daily work mothers take on and what better way to do that then with a box delivered to you with everything you need to relax. The June 2018 box is valued at almost $69.95, but you get everything here for almost half the price! I personally loved the printed quotes because sometimes moms just need a little reassurance that they are doing a wonderful job. I feel like Tiffany is really connecting to mothers and knows just how tough it can be by just reading her short message, which is a great addition to the box! All the contents in the box are of great quality and perfect for any mom. Oxford Momma is still fairly new, but I am thrilled to see future boxes as they have already released so many great items.
