Luvali - Product Review and HUGE Giveaway!!!

Luvali sent me a Classic Convertible w/Slip Bag to review. The bag itself is brown and the slip that came with it is brown w/cream polka dots... they are reversible so the other side is a plaid pattern in the same colours. This specific slip is called the "Sherlock Polka".. and is coming soon to their site. I'm soooo excited that I got to try something that isn't even out yet :)

Ok... so let me dish about this... you're probably wanting to know..what is soooo special about this bag... right? Well... let me fill you in! The bag itself comes in black or brown... it has a zippered closure... straps that can adjust to 3 different lengths, has 2 pockets, plus a zippered pocket inside, is 100% nylon (which means stuff washes right off it) and all the hardware is platinum! (= shiny and sturdy!). The handles are padded and wrapped for comfort... stitching is awesome... and the little details (like the zipper pull) are great.

So, now that you have an idea of the basic bag (which also comes in a tote version too by the way)... you want to hear the best part? You can buy "slips" to change the look of your bag! Now you're probably wondering... what's a slip? right? Well... it's a cover for your bag... it form fits to the shape of the bag, has slits to put the handles through (and a decorative button, to keep it in place) as well as a zipper down one side to make it easier to take on and off! The slips are reversible, and there's 2 different patterns... so if you feel like changing it up... you can! I found this to be a great option with having little one's around.... if "M" knocked over her juice and it got on the bag... I could reverse the slip or take it off all together and wash it. I also liked that the 2 patterns were really fun! Who doesn't love polka dots and plaid? But... if I felt like being more plain... I have the option of just using the bag without a slip on it at all. So really... you're getting 3 bags in one. Or.. more if you buy extra slips ;)

AccuDial (Oh Baby!) - Product Review

I've been given the opportunity by Oh Baby! to review some AccuDial products. Ever try to figure out how much medication you should be giving your little one? I know I'm still confused when reading some of the bottles because some are dosed by weight and some by age. I find myself always giving "M" less than the recommended "age" dose because she's sooo small. But really.. I'm just eyeballing it.... I know a lot of people do this too! So don't look at me weird, because I actually said it.

AccuDial has a line of over the counter meds for our little ones, that contain a well designed and thought out way to make sure you are giving them the proper dosage. What they have come up with (you're going to love this) is a label that turns to give you the proper dosage for age/weight. The outer label of the bottle turns, while the inner one stays put to allow you to match up the proper information. It's AWESOME! Works amazingly well... and the doses are listed in milliliters. Each bottle comes with it's own measuring spoon too!

Having trouble understanding what I mean? Check out this DEMO :) (did you check it out?...if not... I can wait...while you go... don't worry...lol)

They have an extensive product line.... they sent me:

• Cough & Cold (ages 6-12)
• Cold & Stuffy Nose (ages 6-12)
• Nite Time Cold & Cough (ages 6-12)
• Runny Nose & Cough (ages 6-12)
• Allergy (ages 2-12)
• Pain & Fever (ages 2+)

I didn't try out the actual formulations of the medications because the majority of the ones I received were for ages 6-12 and "M" is really almost 2... so I gave the non-applicable ones to a friend that has 2 boys within the age range. One of them actually had a cold too... so perfect timing... the Nite Time Cold & Cough worked wonders for him (plus I think the grape flavor of this one helped...he didn't even fight to take it!). I explained the product to the boys' Mom... and let her try them out... she gave me a shout back and said that the labels were awesome! Easy to read.. clear and concise (I agreed!).... it's pretty hard to make a dosing error with these!

I have to admit... I did try each of them on myself... just by sticking a drop on my finger... the tastes are very kid friendly.. fruit punch..grape...cherry and orange (my least fave..but still ok)....so really... I can see why they wouldn't fight taking it.

Overall awesome product... that answers the dosing issues that all parents face. It gives you more confidence in giving medication to your children while keeping them safe!

Oliver's Labels (Tomoson) - Product Review

I got to try out Oliver's Labels as part of a Tomoson review. Basically these labels can be stuck to anything from sippy cups to clothes and are dishwasher and laundry safe. They sent me 5 clothing labels, 5 original labels, 5 mini labels and a pair of shoe labels. I got to choose which design and I chose "Animal Faces". I thought they were really cute!

Quality of the prints are really good and they stick really well. All you have to do is wash and dry the surface, then stick on a label. They also have an option to add a "Found-It" tracking system number  (I chose not to)... basically what it is.... is a tracking number printed on the edge of the label that if your item is ever lost... it prompts the finder to enter the code into their website. Once the number is entered it sends an email to the person it belongs to letting them know how to reach the person who found the item. Your personal information is never given out, which is great.

I really liked the colour of the labels... would have liked them more if the labels were filled in (black) rather thank white (I think they would have stood out more)... and the size of her name on the "original labels" was a little too big. I feel it squished the animal face...and when I peeled these ones off it cut off some of the circle around the animal's face. I would have liked it if it fit the whole picture on the sticker. Other than that... I like that there are a lot of different patterns...some really cute ones... and they were super fast! I got them like the next day.

Thanks to Oliver's Labels and Tomoson for letting me do the review :)

Scentsy Warmer/Bar - Product Review

I was sent a Hatteras Mid-Size Scentsy Warmer and 3 Scentsy bars.... in Blueberry Cheesecake, Black Raspberry Vanilla and Perfectly Pomegranate. This was my first Scentsy trial... and I had an awesome experience! The warmer was great... looked awesome... and totally fit in with the rest of my decor. It has a faux-stone finish has a rope accent too. I was really impressed with how easy the warmer was to use. Everyone knows that having a toddler is crazy as it is... but adding wicked candles sometimes is not an option. This was awesome. All I had to do was unpack it... put in the light bulb (that came included) and literally plug it in!

The scents come in bars... you break off a cube... stick it in the bowl on the warmer and turn it on. The wax cube melted fairly quickly... but lasted a long time. The scent filled the room really quickly and stayed around a long time after I shut off the warmer too. I liked that you don't waste any of the wax because it stays in the bowl... no open flames... and no ugly black soot marks in the bowl (which I find I get with the oil warmers).

Misty, the wonderful Director that has filled my home with yummy scents for months to come...was nice enough to send me 3 different wax bars to try out. Blueberry Cheesecake is a definite fave in this house...and it was the first one I tried out. Whenever "M" is hungry for something you have she points at it and opens her mouth...lol... she pointed at the warmer with her mouth open and said "ahhhh".... lol... guess it smelled good enough to eat eh? LOL.

The Black Raspberry Vanilla was great for regular entertaining...not the type of scent that gets old quickly and Perfectly Pomegranate I can totally see us using during the holidays! The other thing I like about these flameless candles is that you can mix and match the scents by just throwing a cube of each in the warmer.

The cube lasts about 10 hours too... which is crazy..especially considering she sent me 3 bars. Misty also enlightened me with a few tips and tricks to help me make the most of their products.... I figure I'd share a few :) Humidity affects how long the scent "hangs around".... the dryer the air (air conditioning dries out the air)... the less time. The age of the light bulb... that heats up the wax.... if it isn't putting out enough heat it won't melt the wax properly (you'll notice when to change the bulb when the wax around the edges don't melt)... replacing the bulb (with a like one)... will fix your problem :)

You don't need to finish the wax before changing scents... just pour the hot wax back into the sectioned container and let it cool off.... and this wax won't burn you.... its paraffin wax (you know that kind that you get your hands/feet dipped in when you get your nails done?)... and is food grade... so don't worry about a little one getting into it. If the wax is cool...and you'd like to change the scent... skor around the edges and it pops out :)

So... now that I'm super in love and addicted to these bars.... (thanks to Misty)... they're totally going on the LIST! Huge thanks to Misty for intro'ing me to Scentsy... I'm so glad you contacted me! She also said... she had a "surprise" for "M"... soooo excited to see what she thinks! We'll let you know once she gets it :)
Everyone needs to try these!!!

Tsitah - Product Review

 Tsitah Threads sent me a  Toddler Cotton Tuque in their "Peace Bucket" pattern. It has the skull pattern on the outside and peace signs on the inside (but it is reversible! bonus!). The hat washed really well... none of the colours bled into the white and it kept its shape (but they come pre-washed as well). It was really not like any other tuque that she has... much tighter and longer than a traditional hat. I like this one because its long enough to cover her ears plus fit her crazy mess of hair in it too! She did get frustrated with this one though... she needed help to get it on because it is tight... I'm sure it'll stretch a bit as she wears it in...and it is 100% cotton...and the stitching is good...so the quality is totally there.

Tsitah makes all their products in small batches... shipping is FREE... and they have different new fabrics all the time. They also carry blankets..bandannas and quilts (the AARRGH pattern is killer!).... not sure what's up with me lately... but I'm totally into her wearing skulls... I think it's totally unique.. and SO CUTE on kids... so.. for all those people that don't like this style (which I love)...  :P ... LOL! The bandannas they make are really cute too! The "Park Rocker" pattern is awesome!

Thanks to Tsitah for sending "M" a toddler tuque! Right in time for the cold weather :)

Mom Central - Kleenex Hand Towels Product Review

I got to try out the new Kleenex Hand Towels through a campaign from Mom Central (yay!). The box of these towels can either stand up on your counter or when flipped upside down, can rest on your towel rack (which I did because I put them in the powder room). The pack of 60 sheets do not have any dyes, inks or fragrances. The sheets are really thick...but soft... somewhere between a Kleenex and a paper towel I would say. They were so soft (I've had a cold... so I even blew my nose with one...I know.. gross...sorry!)... and it was nothing like those "other" bathroom sandpaper-like towels...lol.

I don't even want to go into how many germs are in a towel that's been used a few times..that hangs in everyones bathroom! EW... hence why I wash ours all the time.. however... I think these one-use ones are easier... so I may go out a buy a couple of boxes to open when company comes over....and  when there are the little flu buggies going around.

I like the aspect that the box fits on the towel bar (because we have a pedestal sink in the powder room)... so it does save space... but it doesn't feel as "warm" as a towel does... do you know what I mean? Not the actual warmth... but I like how towels look hanging on the bar... that's the only thing about this product that I'm "iffy" about. I got a teal box... so it was pretty...but... I don't know... I know for sure if I had counter space.. I'd stand the box up and still have my decorative towels in the bathroom....lol. Maybe I'm a little old school that way....hahahaha

Thanks Mom Central for letting me do another campaign... I look forward to the next one! :)

Bee-Boo Blossom - Product Review

I was contacted via email by Bee-Boo Blossom asking if I'd like to test out one of their Hoodie Hooks! They came across my blog on the Internet and thought they'd ask if I'd do a review for them. Well... of course! Bee-Boo Blossom makes hand painted accessories for nurseries and children's rooms..so when they asked me to try out a Hoodie Hook.. I was really excited. Why you ask? ... those that know me... know... I LIVE in hoodies...and so does "M"...so I thought it was very fitting the I was able to do this product! LOL. They were absolutely awesome...I described her room and they totally thought something up for her to match! LOVE IT!

Their Etsy shop is really cute too...they have named each of the hooks that they've designed after the little one it was made for! I thought that was a really nice touch :) Makes me feel special... lol... and I'm really interested to see if M's is a hit for them! LOL.

The hook is made of wood... and came with the screws and the drywall anchors to hang it as well...which I thought was really nice... because honestly.. if it didn't... who knows when I would have got around to actually finding the proper screws and stuff. I like that Bee-Boo Blossom works with you to match their hooks to your decor... it makes it so much easier than just settling for something you find in-store.

I made "M" a name plate for her room before she was born... the hook looks perfect right below it.... and I keep her bath towel hanging on it. Hmm... now I'm thinking I may need a few for the main hallway so I can hang them at a lower level for her jackets and stuff... oooooOOOoooo.. hmmm.. or maybe even a plaque style one...with like 3 hooks... would be perfect right before the winter so she can hang her own jacket up when she comes in the house!

Thanks Bee-Boo Blossom for contacting me... and for making a beautiful hook for all M's hoodies! It's sturdy... pretty and functional! It's perfect!

Charm Factory - Product Review

I got a custom order from Charm Factory. They sent me a March Live Love Laugh Affirmation Ring on a 20" round snake silver chain... and I LOVE IT! The quality of the snake chain is awesome...sometimes I find with these types of chains...they can sometimes pinch...or your hair gets caught in it. This one doesn't. I like the clasp too....it's one of the spring kind..but everything is stronger than I thought. I also like that the necklace didn't kink at all (and I even tried to).

The charm is really pretty! It's made of sterling silver...and has "Live Laugh Love" on both sides....with rhinestones going all the way around (10 birthstones). It's a lot heavier than I thought it would be and the rhinestones are set in really well.. none of them moved or lifted...plus the whole thing was really shiny! It's definitely a necklace that I'm going to wear on a regular basis!

Everyone needs to take a look at this site... there is an uncountable amount of charms and bracelets/necklaces. Anything from sports themes to babies.... enamel and rhinestones...in silver, pewter, wood...and even custom! It took me FOREVER to decide what to choose to review!

Thank you Charm Factory! I really ...really...really... like it!

Sock Prints - Product Review

I was sent 3 pairs of socks from Sockprints. Sockprints is a company that sells custom printed socks. I've never seen anything like this before... and really... they are very...very unique. Basically what you do is choose sock style....choose a design (or add your own)... then order! They are really cute... I wish these were around when I was growing up because I'm sure my softball team would have totally ordered a bunch for our tournaments and stuff.

I was sent 2 pairs of "no show" socks (they are those little ones that go under your ankle)... personally I don't like these type of socks because I find they never stay on my feet... but...the socks washed well, didn't shrink... and the print was perfect when it came out of the wash. One of the pairs I got was a promotional pair for Sockprints (Peace, Love, Socks...with their website) and the other was a custom pair that had a really cute bird and flower design that said "Kathy & Greg are having a girl!". No idea who Kathy and Greg are..but the socks they ordered are super cute! It would have been a cute favor for the baby shower.

I also got a pair of crew socks... with a flower heart on them. The one thing about all the socks... they were super soft... and I like that they are on the thinner side (I HATE thick socks)...so the cotton blend they use is perfect for me. They use water based apparel ink for the printing...which makes them flush with the socks...so the printing doesn't crack at all. Customers can order 2-3 pairs at a time...all customized...which is awesome.

Thanks to Sockprints for sending me out some samples! Great idea for sports teams... bridal parties and party favors!

Belly Buttons & Babies - Product Review

Travel Pack and a Sensual Amber Body Scrub from Belly Buttons and Babies :) Everything is pure....natural...and organic! Belly Buttons and Babies carry pre and post natal products as well as products that are specially made for your little ones.

The Travel Pack is a great way ti try out 4 of their products... and to keep soft and relaxed while travelling! The Travel pack includes 4 2oz bottles. You receive 1 x Lavender Chamomile Mom &Baby Cream ...it is a thicker cream (which I like)... doesn't leave you greasy and the scent hangs around for a long time. You can also use it after diaper changes on the "Babes"...lol. The Triple Mint Foot & Leg Cream is 100% my fave out of the Travel Pack. I love the cooling sensation it leaves and love the directions on the back that say to keep your feet up for 10-15 min. It was my excuse to get away and relax the last few nights! Hahaha! The Pink Grapefruit Body Lotion is a thinner lotion...going to be honest... not a fan of grapefruit..but the cream was really soft and smooth..and worked great on my dry elbows (I know..dry elbows..yuck.. its the changing of the weather ok?..lol). The Lavender Chamomile Calming Massage Lotion I really liked....it didn't dry out..but at the same time wasn't greasy like most massage lotions are. "M" had a good time while I gave her a massage... and I liked that all the products are safe enough for her to use too!

The Sensual Amber Sugar Body Scrub..... honestly smells good enough to EAT! Essential oils...sugar...and some yummy oils are combined to make this CRAZY awesome scrub! It is by far the best scrub I've ever used... and the scent stays around for hours! My skin felt really smooth...but moisturized at the same time (I can't figure out how that works.... but it does!)

Thank you to Belly Buttons and Babies for letting me try out some products! I had a great time relaxing and testing everything out! :) The next time I'm in Acton I'll stop by and stock up on the Body Scrub!
