Cake Lingerie - Review and Giveaway!!!






I received a set from Cake Lingerie. They sent me their Velvet Delight "My Bust" bra and matching bottom. The lines are designed in Australia and have been worn by quite a few stars..which makes it pretty cool! Basically the "My Bust" technology gives women a bra that has an adjustable band... you can wear it while pregnant, nursing and even after having your baby. Where the bra attaches there are 6 different sizes you can use.. so it will fit through the duration of your pregnancy as well as while nursing! It also has the easy clip front for breast feeding... and the snaps are really strong. The set is really pretty... a lot of lace... a few bows and a strong under-wire to help with support. The straps are nice and thick...have a bit of padding to them and the band felt comfortable as well.

The matching bottoms were really pretty too...just not my preferred style of bottoms so I'm not sure if these will be used as much as the bra will...lol. The quality of the set is awesome...the inner cup is 100% cotton... and the rest is a mix of nylon and spandex. Overall the entire set was really soft and comfortable... they have some really cute stuff! This set was part of the newer "Birthday Collection"... the also carry Turkish Delight which is the other version of the Velvet Delight I received. Both bras range from a 32B-38I. Oh and
they have some other styles and have sleepwear too!

Thanks so much to Cake Lingerie for sending me a set and offering a giveaway :)

Dove Ultimate - Product Review


I received "Natural Fresh" and "Wild Rose Scent" antiperspirant from Dive. They have a new line called Ulitimate Visibly Smooth which helps you feel "Stubble Free". It contains ad Pro-Epil Complex that has moisturizers and includes naturally-sourced extracts. It is said to help both the look and feel of underarm hair, 24 hour odour/wetness protestion and also has a clinical-protection version. I tried the Natural Fresh version and passed on the Wild Rose Scent to a friend to try out. I noticed my skin was smoother...or at least felt that way after a few days.

Personally... I thought the Wild Rose Scent was a little too floral for my taste but my friend had no problem with it. The Natural Fresh kind of smelled like a popular fabric softner I use... so I liked this one the best. I've asked a few other people to check out this and let me know what they think. Overall I don't really have a specific brand I choose over any others... however... I think I'd buy this again.

Thanks to Dove and BzzAgent for letting me do this campaign :)

Bright Baby Tees (Tomoson) - Product Review and Giveaway!!



I received a t-shirt from Bright Baby Tees. The shirt is 100% organic and the printing is done with non-toxic ink. Their shirts are all educational... I received a gray alphabet version of the shirt which has the alphabet with a picture of something starting with the corresponding letter. Right away "M" started naming off all the things she could recognize right away... it's like having flash cards on your shirt....at least it was for me.

All their shirts have visual stimulation for eager little minds to soak up...and they come in both adult and kid sizes. I really liked that they use tear away labels and that they are pre-shrunk. The shirt is super soft.... comfortable and the fact that "M" found it interesting was awesome. I found myself having to tell "M" what each picture was that she didn't know and the game went on all day. Within a few minutes I could ask her where something was and she could point it out to me with no problems.

Thanks to Bright Baby Tees and Tomoson for letting me do the review :)

Eco Lips - Review and Giveaway!!!


Eco Lips sent me a bunch different lip balms to try out. I received 2 Sheer Luminescent Mineral-Tinted Lip Balms in Rose Quartz and Sugar Plum, a Delicious Pure and Simple in Tasty Grape, a SPF 15 Berry Lip Balm with and Eco Clip Carabiner and a Gold Balm (woohoo! I love gloss and lip moisturizers...there's always at least 3 in every bag I have).

Sheer Luminescent Mineral-Tinted Lip Balms in Rose Quartz and Sugar Plum are  both flavored with vanilla, and are made with certified organic oils, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E etc. The Rose Quartz is my fave... gives a little pink shimmer and the Sugar Plum gives a berry tint which I liked for running out to the store.

The Delicious Pure and Simple in Tasty Grape is awesome! Certified organic....sunflower oil, beewax, grape flovoring and Vitamin E allows "M" to wear it without me having to think twice about it. She's hilarious... she's always made me put lip balm on her... and really.. I've always used Burts Bees on her... now... definitely switching... this one had so much more flavor than what we were using and it stuck around longer. She calls them "Chappies" ... can I complain that she's starting to get a little girly on me? nahh...

The SPF 15 Berry Lip Balm with Eco Clip Carabiner is awesome! Mind you.. I love the carabiner regardless...lol. It holds the tube perfectly... and you can have your lip balm whenever you need it...just pull and the cap stays in the flexible holder. When you're ready to change out your flavor you can squeeze the top and pop the tube out including the cap. I love berry anything... so I'm probably more picky about this one... .love that its all certified organic...and has SPF 15... I think it smells strawberry-ish with a cherry after scent..if that makes any sense....lol...

The Gold Balm is unflavored certified organic.... not gonna lie.... I love the flavored ones... but this one is perfect for right before bed to moisturize while you sleep....I swear... every night!

Thanks Eco Lips for sending me out some new "Chappies" to try out! Both "M" and I loved them!

Sprouting Jube Jube - Product Review and Giveaway!!!

 

Sprouting Jube Jube was nice enough to send me a pair of bloomers for "M". I received pink and brown pied de poule print.... the ruffle bottom is sooo cute! They're a bit big on little miss no butt... but she was able to take them on and off....they even ended up on her head as she ran around yelling "hat...pwitty hat!".... I couldn't even think of taking them away from her...lol!

The fabric is awesome... it washed really well... the stitching held....the elastic waistband and leg holes bounce back to their original shapes. I think these would be really cute with a ribbon running through the waistband too... like how some of the tutus have them...or maybe a tiny bow at the front... would be really cute.

I can't wait to see what other patterns Deborah has up her sleeves for her bloomers.... Sprouting Jube Jube... also carries...bibs...receiving blankets (over-sized)... crib bedding and hooded towels... take a peek at the Etsy site... the patterns that they have I haven't seen anywhere before... and they're super cute and fun!

Thanks Deborah for M's "ruffle bum".... we haven't reviewed anything like these before and you did an awesome job!

kate quinn organics Canada - Product Review

I received a Velour Jumper  from kate quinn organics. All their products are 100% certified organic are made in India...and are crazy cute! The jumper is sleeveless so... it leaves it open to a ton of different options and styles. First thing I did was wash it.... and it came out perfect... still super soft and none of the stitching let go. There are a ton of ways to dress this up or down... I put "M" in it with a long sleeve shirt and a pair of tights and she looked so cute.... you can always put a collared shirt or blouse under it to dress it up. This piece is really versatile... "M" can totally wear it for different occasions and probably for at least a year too.....

"M" looked like she was really comfortable in this dress.... the arms weren't cut too deep so it didn't droop or look uneven on her. The length was a bit too long for her right now...but that's just because she's not quite a 2T yet... just means she can wear it longer :)

You have to check them out... I'm totally in love with the Cowgirl Dress in black plaid! SO CUTE! They have a ton of really cute layette patterns and colors....bedding... jackets....skirts....tops...pants...and a fairly large sale section too! (Bonus!)


Thanks so much to kate quinn organics..... "M" finally has her very own little black dress!

Sweaty Bands - Product Review

  
I  received a thin and a thick headband from Sweaty Bands. Sweaty Bands are headbands for sports and fitness lovers....help keep your hair looking the way it should... while you get sweaty! The thin one I got was the Rock Solid Skinny in black (1 inch)...and the large one is Chakra Dots (1 1/2 inch).The small one fits in my hair perfectly...and stays put. The ribbon they use for the exterior is great quality and they have a ton of prints and solids to choose from. 

 The inside of the band has a velvety texture... and the elastic that connects the 2 sides is surprisingly strong. I also noticed that these bands were a lot tighter that some of the other ones I've tried... which also helps it to stay in place.

I found that the larger one was too wide for my head where it would be comfortable for long period of time...it didn't really stay flat the whole time. The Chakra Dot pattern was a little too funky for me. It has multi-colored polka dots...with a neon orange inside... my cousin "N" would totally be into it... so I'll be passing that one on to her... she's got a ton of hair like I do... and she'll look great at yoga class in it...plus she's 6 years younger than me so she can pull it off...lol. 

Sweaty Bands do team headbands which would have totally been ordered when I use to play softball when I was younger..... or I can totally see a little soccer team wearing them... so cute. Every month online they do a 6 pack promo where you get 15% off the 6 pack! So stock up when you get the chance :)

Overall.. I will be wearing my thin black one during my yoga sessions and playing ball this year...and I'm sure  my cousin will sport it when she hits the gym! Thank you Sweaty Bands!

Bugalug - Product Review


I received a Wrist Cuff and an Adjustable Headband from Bugalug. The adjustable headband is a one inch satin ribbon with cute little butterflies all over it. The print is really cute... it is adjustable... and I like that "M" could take it on and off herself. It stayed well in her hair because of the thickness of the ribbon. They have sizes from 0 months to 6 years.... but if you'd like a larger size they give you the option of contacting them too :)


The wrist cuff I received was in the same pattern as the headband....so happy I got a matching set.. .they'll look great on her with a pink top and skinny jeans...lol. The cuff itself is made of recycled ultra-suede....has a ruffle around the edges and a clip to close it. This was a bit big on "M" her tiny arms and hands could slip it on and off... so I used it as an anklet and it was adorable. Hmmm... maybe they should start making them... about 1/2 the thickness of the cuff...oooOOooo... ya!! LOL... If they start making them... we should have a lifetime supply....  ;)

Bugalug carries a ton of different products.... soother clips.... cinch clips... belts and a ton of other hair accessories. They have some cute patterns and even some cute belts just for Mom. Thanks to Bugalug for sending "M" some new accessories to sport this spring!

Super Baby Food - Product Review



 I received probably the best baby food book I've seen in a looong time. It's by Ruth Yaron and it's called "Super Baby Food"... it's just under 600 pages... packed full of recipes, storage info, feeding tips (which I studied carefully...lol... )...safety issues with choking hazards and allergies... I could go on and on.

 They even have a diet worksheet available for free online... click HERE... I found it useful to use when trying to plan out what "M" (and us for that matter) was going to eat for the day. I made "M" some Fruit Leather... using the super easy literally 1 paragraph recipe..... and she loved them! Basically fruit leather is like fruit roll-ups... or like those on-the-go flat fruit... who knew it was sooo easy to make? Like really... plus I didn't add any sugar... used organic goodies...and they turned out great! I also liked the info on adding fruit to yogurt... or cottage cheese... which I found useful for myself..while tying to eat healthier. My favorite part of the book...well that worked well for us...was the toddler hors d'oeuvres.... I made a handful of them and she totally gobbled them up. The best part is... is "M" is a the type of kid that's always on the go... so trying to get her to sit down long enough to actually eat a meal is a total joke.... she will eat all day if she could...but it's on her terms and her schedule. That's why making her little snack trays at each corner of the coffee table...worked perfectly to get her to eat more.

I also love the arts and craft sections... I've been looking for ways to use all of M's broken crayons and sure enough... there were suggestions and fun projects....we also liked the bubble painting..and mosaic art ideas!

I'm still going through this book... but I can't put it down... I've highlighted... used tabs... sticky notes... you name it... I have it sticking out of the book in all sections...lol. Thank you to Super Baby Food for sending me the new toddler feeding "bible" in this house!
