Back In Town...

Tweet

It was so much fun. We just got back a little while ago. We checked out of the hotel at 1:30 and then we went out for lunch and a little shopping and stopped by Jon's moms house. So we just got home. Pictures will be up in a couple days. GORGEOUS hotel. It was divine. 

We didn't really do much. Saturday was spent all day shopping! We got to our hotel and because we paid an extra $10 per night they offered us a $100 Dinner certificate for BOTH nights. We took advantage of that. We spent $125 on dinner our firs night (Included gratuity and tip) and $107 our second night. Worked out real well that we got dinners for free. That was awesome.

Other than that I SWEAR I saw Chris Rock in our expensive mall on Saturday. Seriously it WAS HIM!!

On another note Saturday was  BEAUTIFUL wedding reception in the hotel and we're seriously considering it. They also offer the Ceremony onsite as well. And if we get married in the non-peak wedding time we'll get it all like half off. So we're thinking POSSIBLY November of THIS YEAR instead of June 2011. YAY!!! We're really thinking this might work. 

So we had fun. Avery had a blast. Now I'm off to do laundry and then tomorrow is Cleaning and picking up the dogs which we boarded for a few days. Our mini vacation was great though!

Out Of Town

Tweet

I will be out of town From this evening until Sunday afternoon. This was unplanned until this afternoon. Jon called around and made reservations. We're boarding the dogs and we're staying in a hotel about 15 minutes away for a mini vacation. Should be fun.

But I'm letting you all know that my Giveaways will be up on Sunday/Monday when I get back and these will get closed down, but winners will not be chosen until I get back either. So be patient with me!

I promised Jon that I was only going to Enter my Giveaways for the days and Check my other stuff, but I promised him no blog stuff whatsoever. So bear with me and I will be back posting those Giveaways. I have a LOT going up when I get back so be on the lookout! Thanks

I was able to review 3 eye shadows from Orglamix on etsy. 

She sent me the Vetiver

Sage

And Sticky Toffee

So far I've used the Sticky Toffee when we went to the Auto Show and I put on the Sage yesterday.

I LOVE these eye shadows. They don't crease like I have problems with other shadows. They go on so Smooth and they start out like a powder and then once you get it all blended it's almost like a cream shadow. It stays put and doesn't rub off either. My shadows lasted ALL DAY long without a crease or complaint.

I love these shadows so MUCH, that I want to order one in every color. They're super neat and last a while.

Orglamix also sells Mineral Powder for your face, Blush and Brushes as well

My Grandpa!

Tweet

My grandfather was a great man. He would have been 79 today and I miss him dearly. He passed away 4 1/2 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I was only 15 when he passed, but I remember him so much. He was my buddy, friend and grandpa. He was well loved by many. 

Here's my grandpa's obituary

Joseph C. *****, 74, of Gladwin passed away Saturday, Sept. 24 at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak.

   Joe was born Jan. 27, 1931 in Aldrich, Alabama to Horace and Ruby Honeycutt *****. He married the former Mildred Holmes on Oct. 22, 1965 in Houston, Texas. Joe was a veteran of the Korean Conflict and retired from Daimler-Chrysler in 1989. They came to Gladwin in May 1995 and he was a member of Gladwin Cornerstone Baptist Church. Joe loved his hobby of woodworking which kept him very busy making furniture, cabinets, etc. for many and was well known for his talent. He was also past Master of the Warren Lodge of the Free and Accepted Mason, a member of the Shriners and was past President of the Coquina Gardens in Marco Island, Florida.

   Surviving are his wife, Millie; two sons, Richard (Kathleen) ***** of Almont and Randall ***** of Eastpoint; and two grandchildren, Jason and Heather.

   Services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28 at the Gladwin Cornerstone Baptist Church with Rev. Tony Alexander officiating.

   Burial will be in White Chapel Cemetery in Troy. Friends may call at the church from 10-11 a.m. Wednesday. Memorials may be made to the Shriners Hospital for Crippled children. Sisson Funeral Home handled the arrangements.

He never got to meet his 2 great-grandchildren Avery (my daughter) and Jax (my nephew) Jax was born 6 months after his death, and Avery was born 20 months after his Death. 

My grandfather had a Triple By Pass surgery and went into a coma, He never came out of it and passed away 4 days after surgery. He was overweight and had diabetes. He suffered most of his life, But woodworking was his passion and he loved to see everyone else happy. 

They would've celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary just 1 month after his passing on my grandma's birthday. I miss him so much it hurts!

On a good note I THINK my grandpa is here looking over Avery and I. Every once in a while stuff will go off and I'll say "Grandpa if that's you please let me know you're here" Sometimes it will go off again and sometimes not. Our Christmas tree ornament went off 3 times randomly in the 2 months it was up. And Avery's rocking horse goes off often as well, and that button is HARD to push!!

Anyway, I wanted you all to know what a great man my grandfather was. And I can't believe he would've been 79!

Grateful Body GIVEAWAY & Discount Code *CLOSED*

Tweet

Grateful Body has some very unique products. They have skin care items such as Cleansers, toners, moisturizers and even stuff for the body as well.
They even allow you to customize your own cleanser, moisturizer, and even an aquative treatment. 

ABOUT US

Thank you for visiting us! We truly appreciate your interest in Grateful Body, and we'd like you to know exactly where we stand in the expanding world of natural skin care.
         
Our Mission
Since 1998, Grateful Body's mission has been to bring you 100% natural skin care that is nourishing, effective and luxurious while supporting the health of your skin, your body, and your planet.

Our Dream
Why not dream big? We dream of the day when all skin care products improve the long-term health of the skin as well as its immediate appearance; the day when the body care industry supports organic agriculture instead of the chemical industry. We dream of people everywhere being nurtured every day by coming "face-to-face with nature" thanks to healthy botanical body care.
         
Our Motivation: Health AND Beauty
We want to contribute to the health as well as the beauty of humanity. Grateful Body is a family business that began for very personal reasons. Our founder and formulator, lost two sisters to cancer before he was out of college. This shock was big enough that he began examining common lifestyle choices and the substances that we (women especially) expose our bodies to, in order to understand why this disease is becoming more and more prevalent. He also studied the medical understanding of older cultures, including traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic and Native American healing, all of which supported his desire to share the powerful benefits of vital plants that are used properly and respectfully.

We want you to have beautiful skin.  Grateful body is here to help you achieve your most radiant complexion, naturally and authentically. You don't have to choose between safe products and skin care that really works -- all you need to do is choose your favorite products!  Learn about our Custom Blends and Classic Formulas to get started. Read about what some of our customers have to say about how Grateful Body has transformed their skin.

         
How we make our Skin Care
After using our products, many people are curious how we make these incredibly delicious products that create such amazing results for their skin.

In order to provide you with sublimely effective products, it's absolutely essential that we begin with the highest quality raw botanicals.  We collect our fresh plant oils and our organic and ethically wildcrafted herbs from a handful of trusted suppliers and local farmers. Through much testing, investigation and observation, we have developed both an emulsifying system and a fully efficacious preservative system that use only food-grade ingredients.  This is how we create such luxuriously creamy cleansers and moisturizers without the use of chemicals.

Grateful Body's Classic products, Pure & Simple™ Bases, and Custom Blend Boosters are all blended by hand in artisan-sized batches.  We use a very low-tech approach: absolutely no exposure to high heat, chemicals, or any other factors that might compromise the value and effectiveness of our creations.  We rely on time-honored methods for our botanical infusions -- some of the herbal tinctures steep for several months! This allows the powerful, healing essence of the plants to be fully infused into the liquid. Our pure, potent hydrosols (aqueous distillations of selected organic plants) are obtained only from experts in the traditional steam distilling process. For our super-concentrated extractions, we use a special process that uses repeated waves of high pressure to rhythmically pull the essence from the plant material. From start to finish, Grateful Body products are artfully created by the Grateful Body team to bring you the freshest, most effective natural skin care your skin has ever known.


Sustainability
From our choice of ingredients (vital botanicals) and suppliers (local when possible) to our high purity standards and our recyclable packaging, we strive to do all we can to support the environment. Grateful Body is proud to be one of the feature destinations of the East Bay Green Tours here in the San Francisco Bay Area, "the nation's environmental epicenter."

in gratitude,

Shannon Schroter, Mary Cuneo,
and the Grateful Body Team

Eco Nuts Soap Review and GIVEAWAY *CLOSED*

Tweet

What’s an Eco Nut?

Eco Nuts® are completely sustainable dried fruit shells that come from the Sapindus mukorossi tree in Nepal, India and Indonesia. The ones we harvest come from high up in the Himalayas and are the highest quality "soap nut" on the market. These fruit shells have been used in India and China for centuries, and are now gaining popularity in America and Europe as a renewable, biodegradable and organic alternative to chemical  detergents and expensive “Green” laundry soaps.

 Eco Nuts® \ contain saponin, a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting stains from the fabric and leaving dirt suspended in the water that is rinsed away.

Eco Nuts® are gentle on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Because they are so mild, they are perfect for baby clothes and cloth diapers. The antimicrobial properties of Eco Nuts® also make them great for septic and grey water systems. But don’t expect these shells to foam up like commercial soaps, which have artificial foaming agents. Foam simply does not represent cleaning power.

Answers that question, doesn't it? I love these little things! This was my first time trying out an Eco Nut and I have to say that I LOVE them and will be buying them in the future!

Here's the Eco Nuts that were sent to us

Very interesting. I put them in their little baggie and washed my clothes. They came out CLEAN and smelling fresh. Granted they smelled like JUST water thought because they don't smell, so my next load I added a BIT of softener just to smell up the clothes and it worked and they smelled good and they were still clean. So far I've used these 3 times and They are starting to get a LITTLE bit mushy. Once they're used about 5 times and are mushy you throw them away. These are Safe for Front and Top Loaders!

The Greenest Laundry Soap on Earth!

Know What's In Your Water.

• Biodegradable

• Antimicrobial

• Hypoallergenic

• Perfect for Sensitive Skin, Allergies, Eczema, Psoriasis

• 100% Natural and Free From Manmade Chemicals

• Save Water! (Rinse Cycle Optional)

• Beneficial For Septic and Gray Water Systems

• Sustainable

• Fragrance Free

• Reusable

• Vegan Friendly, Vegan Approved

Proudly Packaged in the USA

I think that's pretty awesome!

GIVEAWAY
Eco Nuts Soap has been kind enough to offer one Mommy Of 1 and Counting reader the chance to win a Family Size pack which does about 50 loads in Hot water and about 90 loads on Cold water. It does the same for a Front Or Top loader!

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

DownEast Basics Review and GIVEAWAY *CLOSED*

Tweet

I love affordable clothing. I love stylish and modest clothing. I love comfortable clothing, and that's why I love DownEast Basics. They're clothing is super affordable an they have a great selection.

DownEast just recently came out with some new arrivals. I was able to choose 2 items from the new arrivals section and review them here for my readers! I chose the Longitude Cardigan and the Frosted Flat Bead necklace. I love both these items and I love them together!!

On the website the necklace looks more Black, Grey and tan. But in person it's more Brown, Tan and white! But it still looks good with the cardigan. 

This cardigan is more of a tee shirt material and not a sweater. I like this because it's good on those chilly spring and summer nights but isn't too warm like a sweater would be! I love how comfortable this cardigan is!

Here's some other items I'm drooling over from their new arrivals

Finest Pearls top $22.99

Lost in Love dress $25

Miss slim skinny jean $45

And there's plenty more beautiful accessories and items alike!! I love their stylish clothes!

The price is AWESOME! You'd pay the same price going to Kohl's or another store. Why not try a NEW store instead of buying from the same place over and over again?

Overall: I give DownEast Basics a ****. Love their good quality clothes!

GIVEAWAY

DownEast Basics is offering Two (2) Mommy Of 1 and Counting readers the chance to win ANY ITEM from the NEW ARRIVALS SECTION! 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Cate and Levi Review & GIVEAWAY *CLOSED*

Tweet

I love getting and receiving One Of A Kind stuff for Avery. It means she's special and that NO OTHER child has one like her. They're all different! As she gets older I will tell her that her Cate and Levi puppet is a one of a kind and that she's special because her's looks like no other child's puppet! I think she'll love this thought and will feel so SPECIAL!

We received the Giraffe Hand Puppet in the boy color (asked for girl, ehh whatever) and Avery loves it! She's trying to put it on her hand every day and make it work, but her little arm just doesn't reach, poor girl. She loves when we put it on though. It's a big hit in this house and I see this as being Daily Play with her!

I absolutely adore this puppet! I love that it's made of Recycled Wool and it's made In Canada!! I like that it's not being made over seas and is actually made not too far from home! 

10% of his profits also go to children in need. Awesome Right? And these are HANDMADE in his studio in Toronto!! Can't beat a father who knows what he wants and how to achieve that! Awesome company!

Cate and Levi also carries items like Pillow Pals, Stuffed Animals, Zoo Cubes, and Wall Art. 

Price: The hand puppets are $35, For HANDMADE OOAK! Zoo Cubes are $30 and I think they're so dang cute! Wall Art is $45 they will add a lot of color to your child's room or nursery. And the Pillow Pals are $30! These items are so dang cute!

Overall: ***** star. Awesome! These are made of wool which is sturdy and durable. I see this puppet lasting YEARS as long as the moths don't get to it!

GIVEAWAY

Cate and Levi has been very generous and has offered one Mommy Of 1 and Counting reader the chance to win the GIRAFFE PUPPET in color of choice, like I reviewed! Your Lucky and the child receiving it will LOVE it!

Frecklebox Review and GIVEAWAY *CLOSED*

Tweet

 I love personalized items for Avery and I know other parent's do as well. When you have more than one child it definitely get rid of fighting over who's is who's and I like that a lot. So now because of Frecklebox being so kind, Avery has her own personalized placemat.

Fecklebox sent us the zebra zest placemat and I'm in love! I didn't want anything too girly and this really stood out to me and popped! So I snatched it up. Avery's been dirtying our tablecloth now that she's in her booster seat and this came at a perfect time. I was getting ready to throw her back into her high chair until we got a placemat. It was perfect! Avery loves it as well

It's pretty isn't it? We love it!

Frecklebox specializes in personalized items. They have books,  coloring books, puzzles, posters, and even Stickers.

Frecklebox is also reasonably priced. Their placemats are just $9.95, stickers are $3.95 for 12. They have some awesome prices.

So far this Placemat has withheld 6 meals and 2 washings. Since it's laminated I see it lasting for a long time. At just $9.95 even if it lasts 2 years I'll be happy and willing to replace it!

Overall: I give Frecklebox a **** 1/2 star!! Very happy with Frecklebox Personalized Gifts!

GIVEAWAY

Frecklebox has been very generous and is offering one Mommy Of 1 and Counting reader the chance to win ANY ITEM OF CHOICE!

Baby's First Phone Call Review and GIVEAWAY *CLOSED*

Tweet

Baby's First Phone Call is a new and exciting service!

When you had your child/ren (If you have them) did you call around to like 50 friends and family members? Did you have your Significant Other call that many people! Together were you so stressed about calling so many people in this time of nurture and bonding that you forgot some people and came home and they were upset?

You need Baby's First Phone Call. You set up this service online and you pay for how many people you think you'll be calling. Then you set it up when you still have time before the child comes and you make a list of all the people's names and numbers that you would like to notify of the new arrival.

Then after the bundle of joy is born you just call 1 (one) toll free number and leave a message OF ANY LENGTH and Baby's First Phone Call with call all the people on your list! NEAT isn't it?
On the message you can record things like baby's height and weight, time of birth, how baby and parents are now, room number, if you'd like visitors or not and what floor you're on! It's really awesome this service is! 

Wouldn't making just 1 phone call get rid of the stress? I think that when they take baby for a bath OR when they take them the first night for some stats for like a half hour would be the perfect time to get that phone call in!

Now since I'm not expecting I didn't get to personally try out this service. Boy I wish I had though!

10 People $20
20 people $25
30 people $30
unlimited $50
I think this is 100% worth it!


GIVEAWAY
Baby's First Phone Call is offering 4 (four) Mommy Of 1 and Counting readers the chance to win $50 Gift Certificates


ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Tell me Who you know that's expecting and do you think they'll call you when the baby's born? If it's you who's expecting tell me how many people are on your call list!

Please include your e-mail address in format name @ domain dot com. Otherwise a new winner will be chosen!

Days Of Our Lives

For those of you that watch it, Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe Lane) and Shawn Christian (Dr. Daniel Jonas) Came to town today!! They were here and we got to meet them! How cool!

Yes she's just as beautiful in person if not MORE beautiful. And despite being 5'8" she's really petite! He is very good looking. Although I haven't watched the show in a few years, I used to, but not anymore I recognized him from Summerland with Jesse McCartney and Lori Laughlin. I was so upset when they cancelled it and He said he was too! He said he had a lot of fun on that show!

My mom with them

And them by themselves

They also signed pictures for free and were handing them out. Jon and I got one of each of them. Confusing... ok, total we got 2 of her and 2 of him! Better? Ok!!

It was such a fun experience!

isABelt Review and GIVEAWAY *CLOSED*

Tweet

 Do you suffer from that infamous "Back Gap", or your pants falling down, or your undies showing? You DEFINITELY need isABelt. This invention is downright awesome. It's basically a clear belt. I like that it's not bulky. I don't like bulky belts. 

I have this one pair of pants that hardly get worn because they are 1 size too small and even though they fit me all around I have "Back Gap" in them and it sucks. I hate wearing a bulky belt and so isABelt was the perfect solution for me!!

BEFORE
 

AFTER

Yes I wasn't pulling in the second picture and there was a LITTLE give to it, but My pants didn't fall down and they didn't feel like they were going to fall down. They didn't feel lose one bit!! I felt very comfortable with the isABelt. In fact you can hardly even see it here!

From The Website:

isABelt Ltd… founded in 2007 was the brainchild of partner and inventor Leslie Wilkins-Gaudio. Leslie came up with the idea if the isABelt while shopping for a pair of new low-rise jeans. As cute as the pants were, they would not stay up and you could see right down the back of her pants if she bent over or sat down. She found that she was wearing a belt even when she didn’t want to or her outfit didn’t call for a belt. Leslie saw that her friends all had the same problems and the isABelt was born.

isABelt is the Original invisible belt, the MUST HAVE Fashion “fix-it” accessory. A thin, strong and flexible clear plastic belt, that virtually disappears when worn, providing you with the assurance that all is secure without even knowing it's there. isABelt prevents back gap, slippage and of course, belt bulk and belt bulge. The isABelt solves all of these fashion issues and many more.
isABelt Ltd has three partners: Elise Wilkins, Leslie Wilkins-Gaudio and Lori Wilkins-Vaughan

isABelt sent me the isABelt Original and the isABelt Wide. Jon has claimed the Wide and says he likes it for work when he's just wearing a sweater or a suit jacket, When he's just wearing a dress shirt he said he doesn't wear it because he doesn't want it showing!!

I received the Large Original isABelt an What I like is that it adjusts all the way down to a size 0! But goes up to a size 16 so it has a wide range and you can share it with your whole family! The plus size goes from size 4 to a 50" waist!

The Wide Unisex one goes from a size 2/4 to 50" as well! These are meant to fit everyone!

isABelt also makes a Jr. in cool prints! It's hard to see the picture well so here's the link.
