Sheet World GIVEAWAY & Reivew



I can't believe that Christmas is almost here where did this year go? Preparing for winter I knew my daughter would be getting some new bedding but I knew she would also need new bedding & I wanted somewhere to find great bedding at affordable prices.What site did I find for my needs? I found a website called Sheet World.



I was recently sent a nice selection of Toddler Bed sheets to review for my daughters bed,I was very happy with the shipping arrival time. The sheets couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time,my daughter had just had an accident when talking a nap right when we were putting her sheets into the wash we received the package from Sheet world so I let my daughter decide which sheet set she wanted to use. The sheet set she picked out was the Tinker bell sheet shown above since my daughter has one a bed that converts from a crib into a toddler bed these sheets were a little bit but that makes me happy because it means I get to hold onto them even when she gets a little bigger bed. The sheets all feel great they are soft,breathable & look great they are over all great quality sheets. One of my favorite thing about the Sheet World website is that they have Dozens of colors,patterns & character sheets to choose from which come in different sizes,shapes & materials. One thing I do wish Sheet world had is Sheets for Teen & Adult beds the largest size they carry is a twin sized bed. 98% of sheetworld products are made right here in the USA! Want a chance to win 50% Off your sheet order? They have a “Baby Of The Month” contest where your little one can be featured for the month as the Cutest baby & you get to cut your order in half saving you money. I enjoyed working with Sheet world & I am glad I found their website I plan on letting all of my friends with children know about their website.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Oral B Mommy Party

I was very happy to get the chance to host another Mommy Party yesterday afternoon my friends & their children [Ages 1 1/2 - 5] all came over for an Oral B party. My Mommy party Oral B kit included Tooth Paste,Tooth brushes,Whinne the Pooh body wash,Oral B balloons,Popcorn holders,Popcorn,Ticket style invites,Coupons & The new Whinne the Pooh movie for the kids to watch & enjoy. AS per request of the parents who would like their children Un photographed & Anonymous There will only be pictures provided of those who have given me permission to do so.




I had a fun time putting together each child's goodie bag & getting the house decorated I was a little worried the kids might fight over which tooth paste they wanted or which color tooth brush they wanted but I was very happy that none of the children seemed to care when we opened our goodie bags they just wanted to brush their teeth. The afternoon started out with the kids running around the house playing,screaming laughing & having a great time my house was hectic but we were having a good time,While the children were playing all the mommies gathered around to talk about Our children's brushing habits,what age they took their children to the dentist for the first time if they have taken them or when they plan to,& other subjects about our kids.Every mom at the party has heard of Oral B but not all of them have tried the brand when it comes to Childrens tooth paste, I personally have been buying Oral B since starting my daughter on a good brushing routine. I was very happy & very surprised to see all of the kids enjoying brushing their teeth at the party many of the children were more than excited to sit down in a big group & brush their teeth in my living room as seen below.




After all the kids brushed their teeth & checked out their goodie bags we played a fun game of Oral B flash cards with simple brushing habit questions,Last but not least we all sat down to un-wind & watch Whinne the pooh before everyone went home.Some of the mothers said the movie seemed rather short but we were also talking a lot while the movie was playing. I enjoyed the fact that the movie had 'Older' graphics which looked hand drawn instead of digitally animated it really brought back watching whinne the pooh as a kid.At the end of the movie we asked the children what their favorite part of the movie was & who their favorite character was Most of the children couldn't pick just one part to be the part they liked most because they loved the movie as a Whole,Character wise Pooh Bear,Piglet & Tigger received the most votes. All of our visitors small & tall enjoyed the party the older kids were wanting to know when they could come back to play again it was very adorable. My daughter watched the movie again this morning she really enjoys watching the movie,I look forward to being able to host another Mommy Party. **This was not a paid post opinions used are my own & those who attended my Oral B party.I want to personally thank Oral B & Mommy Parties for providing me the kits necessary to host this party.****

For a recent review I was sent a folding Primary Canvas kids rocker which can be seen below:



It was sent with my daughters name personalized onto the back [Name has been blocked by the cute stuffed mouse for safety].

I enjoy the fact that this chair rocks that way when my daughter is reading or watching a movie she can sit happily & rock during play time she likes setting her chairs in a row or circle then she places her stuffed animals in the chair & talks with them so I know she will enjoy playing with her stuffed animals in her new rocking chair.

Carmex GIVEAWAY & Review

I am part of the Carmex Blog Squad which means I get to test out a bunch of their new products,Recently I was sent their new Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream collection.Due to having dry patches of skin various places on my body I love lotion but not all lotion is made the same. I was sent the Carmex Healing Lotion - Aloe with Vitamin E & Carmex Healing Cream with nine healing ingredients. My favorite is the Healing cream it helps moisturize my skin & doesn't seep completely into the skin right away so it lasts I also love the smell of it my mother was also a big fan of the smell so I let her keep the smaller bottle I was sent. I keep my tube in my purse so I can use it when I am in need of moisture for my hands [I am a cashier & a Crafter I work with my hands all day]



Both the Healing lotion & Healing cream apply smoothly it doesn't leave your skin feeling heavy or greasy like other products might.I have to admit my fiance doesn't like the smell of either products so I use them when I am at work instead of when I am home. I personally love Carmex products & I am thankful to be on their blog squad in fact I am using their Vanilla lip balm as we speak it helps keep my lips smooth & moisturized. If your looking for a great personal gift this Holiday season why not put together a Bath & Beauty kit for your loved one while including some of the Carmex product line?



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive a Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream collection of their own. [One full size of each & One travel size of each]

Bioken GIVEAWAY & Review

In the past I have tried Bioken shampoo & conditioner and really enjoyed testing them so I was more than happy to agree to reviewing their Bioken Pequi Body Wash,Bioken Pequi Body Lotion,& Bioken Pequi Body Oil (spray) All of the items arrived fast & in perfect condition. Here is a little bit about the company "Bioken believes that all things begin with nature, and thus all things must return to nature. Their main objective has become to deliver the essences of nature (BIO) that promote beautiful, healthy hair and skin from a secluded and intimate place (KEN)."



My first impression of using these products is that the Body wash smells pretty good,The lotion didn't really have a scent which I enjoyed because I do not like using over powering lotion.Starting off with my favorite of the three I really liked the Bioken Pequi Body Wash it wasn't a very thick goop or a thin watery body wash it was right in the middle which is perfect because then it will not run off the side of my hand while in the shower,I also enjoyed the fact it didn't make my skin feel dried out after I got out of the shower.Pequi Body Wash contains a unique healing and anti-aging formula derived from Amazon rain forest fruits and botanical extracts like pequi. Pequi is a fruit from the pequi tree native to central Brazil. It is rich in vitamins A and E and has a blend of essential fatty acids, which is ideal for the treatment of dry skin.Next is the Body Lotion,Pequi Body Lotion is specially formulated with pequi and other botanical extracts that calm and soothe skin. It significantly renews skin’s surface, helps replenish the natural moisturizing factors and prevents future dryness.I like using this lotion on my feet because my left foot gets dried out from sitting on it while I am on the computer[My chair is wood & it drains the moisture from my foot] & My other foot has a tattoo that dries easily so I enjoy using this when my feet need a little extra loving.The lotion doesn't have much of a scent & doesn't leave a nasty feeling on your hands after you rub it on which are both big pluses for me.



Pequi Body Oil is an antioxidant rich hydrating body oil spray that absorbs deeply into skin to provide restoration, retexturizing and relaxation. It evens the skin tone and provides nourishing benefits without clogging pores. This anti-aging emollient protects against UV damage and leaves skin smooth and silky soft. The body oil comes out in a light mist it is refreshing & has a nice scent to it,I generally try not to use many products on my face while testing them out because I have broken out due to products in the past so I tested this out on my arms & legs for this review. My skin did seem to be refreshed after using this,It would be perfect to use during the summer when my skin becomes quite dry,I never really like using Oils but I wouldn't mind using this product again as it didn't give any negative effects to my skin.On a side not I really love the Bioken Shampoo & condition this company overall has fantastic products that smell great and work well If you want to know where to buy their products please head to their website Bioken ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Bioken & PurelyVisual PR for the Review & Giveaway free of charge,I would like to thank both companies for the review opportunity****



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will win 1- 8oz Bioken Pequi Body Wash,1 - 8oz Bioken Pequi Body Lotion & 1 - 4oz Bioken Pequi Body Oil (spray) Retail Value: $58
