Sugar and Spice - Product Review & Discount Code!

 

I was sent a Grippy Clippy - Ribbon art (in Abigail), a mini Grippy Clippy and a Sequin Bloom Headband. The clips are really strong and the foam used on the inside of the clip kept it in place and didn't break M's hair when I took them out. Which is great because I didn't get and "ouch Mama"'s....lol.

The headband is a stretch crochet in pink... with a large pink flower. Each petal is embellished with sequins and the inside of the flower has some beading (I thought it was a really nice touch).

The mini Grippy Clippy is pink with a flower (with beads for the inside of the flower). I found that "M" has a ton of hair...so actually holding her hair was hard with this clip... but it was great to put in her hair as an accent.

The regular sized Grippy Clippy was my fave! It is white with a ribbon art rose on it... SUPER pretty and it held all of crazy hair's bangs out of her face! I really...really liked how delicate this looked...but it could totally take a beating when "M" decided to rip it out of her hair.

Sugar and Spice Bows is proud  just opened a store front retail boutique located in Whitby! (Ladies... you know who you are.. I know you're out that way...go in a take a look!). They carry hats, tutus and accessories... even for the little men in the house.


Ok... who wants 20% off???? Enter code MOM into your online order and you'll save 20%!!! (which personally... I think it just means you can buy more! Quality is great...and the little added touches are what make them special!

Thank you Sugar and Spice for sending "M" out some products to try out and giving my readers a discount..right in time for Christmas!

i like book - Product Review and HUGE Discount Code!!

I got to try out a purple I Like Book! What it is...kind of a calendar-like note book that allows you to write in comments every day. There are spots for both Mom and Dad and the comments are directed towards your kids! For instance... I like the way "M" calls me "Mommy"... so that would be one to enter in beside today's date. These books were started by a couple that use to write little notes back and forth to each other until they started losing all their post-its... so they started a journal. Now that they have kids... they figured.. why not... it's a great keepsake and makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I like that it makes you appreciate the little things in life that are most important.  I really like the little story and tidbit separators in the book. Really cute! We've decided that we are going to start our book on January 1st! Thought it would be nice to start off the new year...and also to have a full year in order. I love that you can add pictures in the book too! Such a great idea.

There are 2 different types of I like books. The one for Couples and the I like book for children (that comes in 4 different colours). They also sell bookmarks, clocks and wristbands. This book is a great idea! Love it! Everyone go by and check out their Facebook  page.... and tell all your friends!

Thank you to the I like book team  for sending me out one of their awesome books! I'm sure "M" will love hearing what we like about her (and I'm sure they'll be days when she's older that she'll need a pick-me-up and she can look back on everything!)

For information please visit http://www.theilikebook.com/ [to order please call toll free: 888.737.like (5453)] If you mention "babybottomline" they'll knock 40% off your order!!! (shipping isn't crazy either!)

Little Squeaky Feet - Product Review

 I was really excited when I received M's pair of Little Squeaky Feet! We received a white pair in their Daisy style... (Mary-Jane with velcro). Now that "M" is walking (and is all over the place) I wanted to make it more fun for her... and these did the trick! There is a "squeaker" in the heals of the shoes, so every time she walks she squeaks! She was having so much fun stomping her feet and running round... she loved hearing the sound! She even liked that that dog was trying to find where the squeaky sound was coming from.. it was driving her crazy....it was really cute.

The shoes are real leather...the sole is thick and match well with the shoes. I like the little daisy and leather flowers on the shoe. The stitching is thick and well done... they're awesome! They even have a little extra cushion and leather for their heel to stay in the shoe more comfortably. Even the insoles are well-made....cushy..and look like they would be super comfy and provide proper support for her growing feet.

Little Squeaky Feet have styles for both girls and boys... closed toe and sandals... and they come in a bunch of different colours.

Thank you Little Squeaky Feet for making "M" have fun while working on her walking skills! She LOVES these shoes!!

Positively Organic - Product Review, Coupon Code and Giveaway!!!

I was sent a Girls Long Sleeve Cross Top and a pair of Cuffup Pants. All I have to say is WOW! Positively Organic sells organic baby and toddler clothes that are absolutely beautiful! The colours are vibrant.. don't fade when washed...and the styles and designs are really modern.

The Girls Long Sleeve Cross Top is fitted... red (so pretty)... with black accents. "M" looked SO cute in this... I wanted to eat her up! It is made from organic cotton... and all the dyes and inks are eco-friendly and natural. I like the versatility of this shirt. You can stick it with a pair of jeans... a skirt... or pair of leggings and it will always make a statement! Quality wise.. .the stitching...prints and design is fantastic! I also liked that it wasn't too thick so it can be worn all year round :)

The Cuffup Pants are crazy! I love the pattern with the the red contrasting cuff at the bottom. ( "M" was a little short for the pants.. I had to do a roll at the top... but that's totally nothing new... she's only like 30 inches tall!). The pants are made with the same soft interlock organic cotton, dyes and inks as the top... are super stretchy and the pattern is great! "M" can wear these with just about anything...and when she grows I can put down the cuff to add some length and a bit of flair to the pant.

Positively Organic has 3 lines... B*babies, happy Wear and EarthLine. They have so much super cute stuff that are totally earth friendly... even down to the snaps that are nickle-free...and packaging! They support causes like Children's Health and Welfare and Economic Justice (to name a few)... this is huge... I love companies that give back and care about issues not only our children..but our children's children will hopefully not have to face. It's very admirable.

Huge thanks to Nancy...founder of Positively Organic for sending me out an awesome outfit and for doing a coupon code....and.... a HUGE giveaway!!! The coupon code is tbbl15.... and my readers will receive 15% off everything except clearance items :) - valid to December 31, 2010!

SCKC - Product Review & Giveaway!!!

I was in touch with SCKC and they were awesome enough to send me 2 full out fits... and "M" can totally pull off both...so they're perfect! I was sent a "Denim Jumper” Tunic...it is 100% cotton French Terry (which by far is the softest cotton I've seen!).... it has a screen of a denim dress on a white tunic. It's long sleeved... and goes perfect with a pair of leggings! "M" looked SO CUTE in this... it fit her great and I received a ton of compliments while she wore it. I liked that it is A-line so it has a bit of a flair to it and "M" wasn't hot in it even with the turtle-neck aspect to it (which is great...because she can't wear anything too thick..)

 

The Asymmetric Striped Hoodie I LOVED! It's blue... but has purple, blue, black and white stripes...with a band of hound's tooth on the bottom and in the hood. I liked that the hood didn't have any strings... it fit well and there wasn't a tag...it was printed in the inside of the shirt. This was really soft and had a stretch to it. My FAVE part of this is the kangaroo pocket... "M" loved that she could put her hands (and other things) in there... I liked that they paid attention to detail and made the openings a little larger to sneak a peek of the lighter blue colour that they used for the inside of the pocket.

The Classic Cuffed Legging ( which had white, purple and black stripes) were nice and stretchy..the elastic waistband was even wrapped in the same material to finish off the piece and also to keep the band soft around tender tummies! They have a thick cuff at the ankle to not only add to the style but I found it helped keep M's pants straighter when trying to get her into her boots! Plus... she was obviously comfortable in them... she was playing all day and didn't grab the waistband (she does that when she wears jeans sometimes... I can tell it's time to loosen her buttons...lol). These pants have the same screen printed tag... which is a fave in this house!

 

The Vintage Washed Sweat pant (in Army green) is a pant , with super soft cuffs and a thicker more heavy duty waist band with drawstring. These are perfect for hanging out at the ball park or snuggling up with a movie and a hot chocolate....totally versatile! Again.."M" loved the pockets... these were a bit too long for her... but I can't wait for her to fit in these... she looked like she was ready to just relax and hang out...lol.

All the products are machine washable...they have sizes 0-3months to 9/10... a crazy selection of awesome, hip stuff... and pricing is totally sweet... I think I'd actually pay more just for the quality... but don't tell them that ;) LOL!

Huge thanks to the SCKC team for sending me out some awesome stuff! We had fun playing dress-up and I think some of her new faves are yours!

Ranita's Fine Round Cut Aqua Blue CZ Necklace (Tomoson) - Product Review

I received a Ranita's Fine Round Cut Aqua Blue CZ Necklace from Fantasy Jewelry Box. It is sterling silver, rhodium electroplated.. has small cubic zirconias and a huge aqua one in the middle. All the stones are round and really shiny!! The pendant came with a link necklace that is adjustable too :)

I can totally see myself wearing this when I need to dress up an outfit, totally not for every day wear even though the quality is good..no stones were loose and I pulled at the chain... and it didn't budge.

You need to go check out their website... I spent FOREVER looking on there and checking everything out. Some of my faves are....the celebrity inspired jewelery and the cubic zirconia bracelets.... plus don't forget to check out their sale items and my fave ring!

They have so much to look at... prices are reasonable and everything is really pretty! I had a great time trying to find stuff for my Christmas list!!

Thanks to Fantasy Jewelry Box and Tomoson for letting me do the review!

Real Kids Shades - Product Review & Giveaway!!!

Real Kids Shades sent me a TON of sunglasses for "M" to try out! We received a pair of My First Shades (0-24 months) in Pink Daisy and a pair in Blue Flame (2-5 years). We also received a pair of Flex in purple (3-7 years), Racer in pink (Totally hot ones! in 5-8 years), a pair of Glide in blue (5-8 years), and Extreme Element in Silver Flame (great for playing in the snow..in size 3-7 years) and an Extreme Sport in Black Red (3-7 years). HOLY MOLY!!! They sent a huge variety of their line-up! "M" is starting to become a little diva...and it's actually really funny... she loves accessories and jewellery...just like her Mom ;)

The My First Shades come with a adjustable band and all the lenses are UV 400 category 3 lenses.  The frames on the Flex are rubber...there's no way your little one can break these! The Racer has metallic frames and are SUPER COOL! They look like my sunglasses...so "M" likes sporting these! The Glide has a sporty look with metallic frames. The Element is foamed back... which make them super comfy for long term wear. The Xtreme Sport  is foam backed and have the option of 3-7 polycarbonate lenses or 7-12 polarized lenses.

When thinking of sunglasses... most people think that they're a summer "accessory". Hello... wake up parents... they aren't just a cute little "add-on" for your children... they are protective gear for their eyes... to keep them safe from UV...and these.. have 100% UV protection! They're like sunscreen for your eyes! Would you go to the beach without wearing sunscreen? No... then grab a few pairs of these to keep your kids safe and looking cool all year round.

Real Kids Shades are Dr. recommended... have shatterproof frames and lenses and they can totally take a beating. There are styles..colours and options for everyone... even including their wrap around straps to hinder them from taking them off. "M" on the other hand loves them so much she wears a pair and even puts a pair in her hair (at the same time...lmao). She' so funny! I really like that these are FDA approved and that Real Kids Shades are endorsed by the Melanoma International Foundation. They also work with Prevent Blindness America to promote awareness of how to protect our children's eyes.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these sunglasses!! They come in a carrying case and strap. 100% these are going on THE LIST!! Thank you to Real Kids Shades for letting "M" be fashionable and keep her eyes protected!!!

So Rad - Product Review

I had the pleasure of working with Jasmine...the head-honcho over at So Rad for this review. We had a blast sending emails back and forth....she even tried to talk me into coming to the baby show... but I just couldn't make it this time... actually I was really disappointed that I couldn't make it this fall. Would have been great to meet up with everyone I've been talking to over the last few months and get to hang out with the Oh Baby! team too. Booo to busy weekends! LOL!

Anyway... back to the review... lol... from going back and forth with Jasmine (she's SUPER nice btw) and from hearing about how So Rad came to be... I actually had pretty high expectations for when I received the product. She sent me one of her new t-shirts in Sunburn Pink (Little bird)..pretty much hot off the press! (same as the pic I put in here but the t-shirt version, not the onesie)... I had to totally put the onesie pic in though...it was just too cute! So...the top left shoulder has a little bird... with "A little bird told me" in cursive writing underneath. I love the stitching details on the shirt... plus the printing is done really well and it washes great.

Over at So Rad there were a few the little chunkers.... and sizing was an issue... so they decided to solve their own problem and make a ton of larger sizes for those thick babies (which I wish "M" was... she's SOOO skinny!!).... no worries petite babies... there are sizes for everyone!

Everyone needs to totally check out their sets... omg... there is a heart and wing set that "M" would look killer in! Plus they're having a sale right now on their Bumbleshirts... 1/2 price! Stock up everyone... these bamboo/organic cotton shirts are to die for!

Thanks Jasmine for everything! "M" looks awesome in your t-shirt...and...I promise I'll meet up with you at the Spring show!

Skillet Bacon Jam (Tomoson) - Product Review

So.. I got to try out skillet bacon jam.... what is it you ask? It's a bacon spread... yes...you heard me correctly... BACON spread....lol. It is a combination on Niman ranch bacon, onions, balsamic and spices. You can use it on sandwiches... meat... or even use a bit with some oil and vinegar to make a salad dressing.

Not going to lie, this totally wasn't my cup of tea, I didn't even like the smell of it... my husband on the other hand was in awe of anything that involved with spreadable bacon...lmao. It kind of tastes like BBQ... but tangy... he liked it.

For me... I wouldn't say I'm a plain Jane type of girl... but I really don't use that many condiments on a regular basis...I think I can probably make a killer salad dressing by using a bit of this stuff...

just need a little practice to perfect the quantities of everything :)

Thanks to skillet bacon jam and Tomoson for letting me do the review! Totally a unique product!

Christmas Costume (Tomoson) - Product Review

I received a Christmas Elf costume in the infant/toddler size for review. OMG....it's hilarious! I can't wait to see every one's face when she wears it on Christmas...the hat is classic... it has bells... and elf ears attached to it... "M" looks SO CUTE in it!!! The costume it self is green and red with a black belt and gold buckle...white and red striped legs (with matching bow tie) and even extra red material to cover whatever shoes your little one is wearing. Sizing wise... it is quite big on her... which really.. just means... she'll be wearing this for the next few Christmas' LOL. It is a one piece costume that has a bit of velcro at the back to keep the collar closed. The bottom has elastic with velcro fasteners to help keep it from getting out of place, and it works great.

They have a TON of Christmas costumes... you have to go take a look... I couldn't decide which one to review... it's crazy! There's something for everyone... anything from Santa... to Mrs. Claus (in both naughty and nice...wink-wink...lol)... I almost died when I saw the Buddy the Elf costume.... all my friends know... ELF is my FAVE movie... yes... I laugh at the same parts EVERY TIME! LOL!!! They also have reindeer... snowmen... angels... the list goes on and on... and the pricing...fantastic!

While your checking out all the other costumes, make sure you stop by the toddler costumes and pick up something to have your little one dressed up for the holiday season! We're going to have a blast this year with her dressed up as an elf... I honestly can't wait!!!
