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.

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.****

HooHobbers GIVEAWAY & Review

For a while now I have been wanting to get my daughter a new chair for her room/Play area but I was unsure where to look until I found a fantastic company called HooHobbers who sells Unique specialty products for babies & toddlers. 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. Hoohobbers offers more than just chairs other products they offer include Kids easels,Table/Floor lamps,Shower curtains,Hooded towels,Kids table sets & more.

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

Nici's Art & Jewelry Feature

Today I wanted to share one of my Sponsors with you. I would like to introduce you to a little Etsy shop called Nici's Art & Jewelry who offers a range of very unique jewelry items. Here is a little bit about the owner Nici Laskin "I am a Silver & Goldsmith based out of Tucson,AZ at the moment everything I make is truly handmade, I do not cast & I do not make many pieces over again and again, I think the most is I have made is ten of the same item, I use mostly sterling silver & copper, everything is hypoallergenic & nickle free.Due to the fact that everything is handmade you will see some tool marks,pieces are not always perfect, but i think that just adds more character to them" I love the fact that her jewelry isn't something you will see on another person while out shopping,I have seen jewelry I own on numerous people because it was bought at a regular retail store but when I buy Handmade jewelry I love getting compliments & having people ask me where I bought it from happily knowing I just may be the only person with that specific piece of Jewelry.

Picture above is one of my favorite pieces from her shop called "Pua Aloalo (Yellow Hibiscus) Sea Turtle Pendant" The pendant is hand cut from 18 Gauge sterling silver. The pendant represents a peaceful harmony between land and sea. The Yellow Hibiscus flower is the state flower of Hawaii and has been a symbol of peace for native cultures throughout the South Pacific for centuries. Along with the Sea turtle pendant you can find a large assortment of other Pendants,Earrings,Bracelets & more by visiting her Etsy shop by clicking Nici's Art & Jewelry or by clicking one of the photos on this post.

Vamplets Review

I am always on the look out for toys that aren't your 'Ordinary' toy so when I came across a toy called Vamplets I fell in love.If Vamplets would have been around when I was a child I would have wanted to own the whole collection.

A Vamplet is a small Stuffed Vampire baby doll each are adorable in their own way for my review I received is named Count Vlad Von Gloom.Here is a description of the Vamplets from their website "Are you brave enough to become the parent of a vampire baby, like Bella and Edward in Twilight: Breaking Dawn? We are looking for suitable human parents who would DARE to adopt one of our precious Vamplets! Our "human-friendly" shop is located here at shop.vamplets.com ready for you to browse (with caution) and become familiar with all the Undead creatures that dwell in this delightfully frightful world. If you think you have what it takes to care for your own immortal infant (and show the Cullens how it's done) then we encourage you to explore the Realm of Gloomvania at www.vamplets.com! You can stop by the Town Hall and print your Vamplet's Undead Certificate, then head to the Nursery where you can MEET each of the Vamplets up-close!"

Each baby Vamplet arrives in a Small coffin box along with a Thank you note with a free Pin. I think that this baby vampire is beyond adorable,I also received a Disappearing Bottle of Blood "If your vamplet gets hungry, you’ll want the Vamplets Disappearing Bottle of Blood to settle her tummy. Filled with red “blood” and capped with a black baby bottle nipple, this mysterious snack disappears as you feed it to your Vamplet! When it’s tipped back upright, the “blood” returns." I think both the baby bottle & vamplet would make a great gift for a child who likes things out of the Ordinary I know many rocker mamas who love this product & plan on looking into it more for the Holidays. The Vamplets are well constructed I have looked this doll over & think that everything is well put together,well thought out & over all a great product. Along with Count Vlad Von Gloom there are Five other vamplets to adopt. Each vamplet cost $19.95 which I think is a great price for these fantastic babies These vamplets aren't just for Kids they are also for geeky adults! This site is worth checking out for the Holidays. I also wanted everyone to know they are having a Large giveaway on their facebook page they are giving away Lots of little Vamplets to new loving homes head over to check out their Giveaway on facebook.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

My Mega Bloks MommyParty

Today was a fun & exciting day I hosted my first MommyParty at my home. I was recently selected to host a MommyParty sponsored by Mega Bloks aimed at ages 1+ I received a party kit that included a Large Tubtown Farm for the children to play with along with 10 small back packs filled with Mega bloks for each child to take home there were five Jungle friends Bloks & five Garden friends bloks which can be seen below.

For the party I spent the morning baking cupcakes & getting the party ready we also had juice boxes & pizza for the children, I can tell you it was tough trying to get my toddler to stay away from all the lego packs. While the children ate before they began playing the mothers & I made a decision on how we would let each child play with their pack of bloks without getting bloks messed up & to prevent fighting so we all agreed each child would sit in different spots in the living room & my daughters room so that they could play with their bloks & so we could get pictures some of the bloks did end up in the bigger bloks container but we sorted everything out before the children left. Each mother was asked if it was okay to photograph their child for pictures to provide for the blog post & to the sponsor company some mothers agreed others would like to stay anonymous so respecting their wishes only photos of the Approved mothers children will be shown.My daughters cousin arrived late to the party for a sleep over so she was wearing her Pj's while playing with the bloks it was quite cute.

All of the children who attended the party were 5 years of age & Under all of the children played well together did a great job at sharing and over all seemed to be really enjoying their time playing.The children spent a good deal of the party playing with the bloks then decided to play else where with toys so the bloks were put away until the children decided to play with the bloks again,All of the children were very happy to learn that they got to take their Mega Blok back packs home. The party was a blast none of the children have owned Mega Bloks previous to this party & many of the mothers enjoyed watching their children build various creations with the bloks they will be looking into more of these bloks for their children for Christmas. I had a great time hosting this party & loved seeing all of the toddlers having such a great time towards the end some of the children got a little cranky because they were tired but we had a lot of fun playing with the bloks so the children were exhausted. We played some fun games with the bloks such as asking the children what sound the Animals on the jungle bloks made. The children had just as much fun knocking down their creations as they did building them. I wanted to personally thank Mega Bloks & MommyParties for allowing me to host this party it was nice to see the children playing & having a great time interacting many of my friends who attended haven't meet my other friends with children so everyone got to meet someone new.I think that Mega Bloks are perfect for small children it helps build imagination,Helps engage them into activity & they never get boring because you can always add more mega bloks or build something completely new.****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 Mega Bloks & MommyParties for the Review free of charge****

My Embroidered Gifts GIVEAWAY & Review

One of my personal favorite gifts to give & receive are personalized gifts,When I was a child I always wanted something with my name on it from the store but since I have a very unique name I always knew my name would never be on anything in the store so on rare occasion when my mother got something that used a laser I was very happy & I want to do the same for my daughter.

I recently worked with a company named 'My Embroidered Gifts' who have a Large selection of customizable items I choose the "Need A Hug" Bear The sweet "Need A Hug" bear is 12 inches tall and has a cute knit red sweater. The sweater can be personalized with a first name. The bear is soft,Lovable & looks great I love the way it turned out & can't wait to give this to my daughter on Christmas. The shipping was fast the bear was properly packed & marked so it wouldn't get smashed during shipping,The bear is high quality & there isn't a stitch out of placed with the embroidery. Along with bears 'My Embroidered Gifts' also sells towels,Pillow pets,Makeup bags,clothing & more you get to pick the font & color you would like you can also decide if you want a full name or a monogram. If this is your daughter or sons first Christmas they have a great selection of 'Baby's first Christmas' items I think all of their products would make great Christmas & Birthday presents. Some of my personal favorite items from the site are the Sesame Street Photo Albums,Abby Cadabby Baby Doll by Gund,& Essential Toiletry Kit the site is worth looking through for all of your Christmas needs. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Fairy Wonderful Review

When I find a companies product that I like I tend to keep going back to that company so I wanted to share some of My favorite companies from last years Shopping guide along with some Reader favorites from last year. I am excited to share with you again this year a magical company called Fairy Wonderful. Fairy Wonderful sells Handmade tutus,fairy & butterfly wings,bloomers,bottoms & More.

For a recent review I received a pair of Large pink butterfly fairy wings,Now I have to admit my daughter has not tried these on Why? Simply because I don't want them getting destroyed these butterfly wings are gorgeous so instead of getting beat up by my toddler they hang happily on her bedroom wall among small butterflies & a Fairy escape reading corner [She has a Fairy circle canopy] the butterfly wings add the perfect touch to her room. Fairy Wonderful always has amazing shipping they are speedy & pack the wings so they won't get crushed they arrive in perfect condition each time they are sent out. These wings are every little girls dream dress up wings, They are hand made,durable,& Super cute they come in a variety of sizes & colors. Head over to the Fairy Wonderful website to see what they have to offer you they offer many gorgeous items including their Tutu's. Want to give your little boy something special as well? Fairy Wonderful carries ties & vests for little boys.My favorite part of the Fairy Wonderful website is their prices I believe everything is marked accordingly compared to other sites I have seen Fairy Wonderful is my number one choice for Tutus & Fairy wings.The hardest part of ordering is deciding which one to get because you will want to buy them all for example the Snow white Tutu dress featured below is so adorable its to die for I love the flower ring around the top & how perfect the colors flow together.
