Blue Steel Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Jewelry is something that we all love over here in my house. Jon has an obsession with watches, but he wears other jewelry as well. He buys me a lot of diamonds, but we just love jewelry. We wear at least 1 piece at all times. So when I came across Blue Steel, I thought it would be awesome to try out a piece of theirs. 

Well they let me choose whatever I wanted for my review. So I decided on the Aqua-Paragon ring for me and Jon wanted the Blue Tungsten Spinner Ring. We were happy they sent both to us!

Kalorik Rollie Review & Giveaway

Tweet

I'm about to show you one of those products that you may think "that is silly", but in reality it's pretty darn awesome!!

Kalorik has recently come out with the Rollie and it's a pretty neat little item. I got to try it out and review it for you!

ZIPaboo Review & Giveaway

Tweet

It's not very often you come across something as amazing and unique as this. I'm talking about ZIPaboo. They make sleepers meant for babies that are very very different. 

You see, their sleepers have a zipper on the front for very easy diaper changes. They come in 5 different colors/styles. 

We chose the Noah in a 12-18m

 It came rolled up so cute!

Little Green Pouch Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Emerson never really ate purees very much. He hated them off a spoon, but when he finally learned how to suck (around 8-9 months) we started using the pouch food. It was a great, easy way to get more fruits and veggies in his system, but still make him feel like a toddler and not so much like a baby. He's very independent and these were great for him. 

But since we were buying organic and they are about $1-$1.50 each it was getting pricey. We were giving him 1-2 a day. It just became too much. So I started looking around for reusable pouches and came across Little Green Pouch. They come in a pack of 4 and you can fill them on your own for a more cost effective way of feeding your baby!

What you need!
PAM Spray and Nail Polish that's it!

Shupeas Review & Giveaway

Tweet

When I first came across this company I was down right amazed. How could a shoe shock me this much? Check out Shupeas for yourself and then tell me!! 

Shupeas are a very new and different kind of shoe. You see, they adjust for babies growing feet! This means they fit from 0-18 months!! With just 1 pair of shoes!!

We received the Blue Baseball Moccasin and we just love them!

Beauty Box 5 Review

Tweet

The subscription boxes have become some of my favorite items to review. Not only does it give me the chance to try out a bunch of new companies, but I also get introduced to all these great subscription companies as well. There are so many of them, that you can just about find a box for EVERYTHING these days. But that's great!! Up until now I haven't reviewed a beauty box. That is before Beauty Box 5 came along!

I got January's Box for review. 

All the goodies came in a little bag and then it came with a card explaining each item.

I got 2 Samples of The Blum Naturals Pro Age Makeup Removing Towelettes. An Everyday Minerals Blush, a Lash Card pack, H. Wood. Beauty Lip Shine. and Lastly I got an Evie Evan Moisture Creme.

Get Green For Spring Sponsor Spotlight- YumEarth

Tweet

Candy is something that, around here, my kids don't get too often. Actually Emerson hasn't had candy yet to date (except for a couple licks here and there). But when Avery does I like it to be organic and healthy. YumEarth is definitely a great option for those candy lovers out there. 

We received the bag of 40+ lollipops

Derm Organic Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Hair is one of those very touchy things. For some people whatever shampoo they use works for them. For others (like myself) that is so not the case. In the past I was able to use 1 kind of shampoo and conditioner, it was the only one that didn't leave my hair ratty and left it soft and manageable. After doing some research this was actually one of the WORST shampoos for your hair. 

Shampoo is supposed to cleanse and clean your hair without stripping oils out of it. It's supposed to leave your hair soft, but not contain nasty chemicals like commercial brands do. I have finally found my shampoo!

Derm Organic sent me a WONDERFUL package of items to try

Get Green For Spring Sponsor Spotlight- Life Without Plastic

Tweet

Our next sponsor for this wonderful event is Life Without Plastic. Plastic usually has chemicals in it and isn't typically healthy to eat/drink from. Especially when you put hot food into it or put it in the microwave. This is when the chemicals are released the most. 

Life Without Plastic sets out to product stainless steel items that are healthy and chemical free. I received the 4pc Cereal Bowl Set and the Yellow Tiger Mug both are stainless steel inside. 

Joovy Boob and Dood Feeding Products!

Family Gear Company Launches The Boob Baby Bottle Line Joovy’s New Mood For Food

There’s a new mood for food at Joovy with the launch of the company’s newest feeding products.  The Boob Baby Bottle and Dood Training Cup introduce the simplest and most advanced technology to the baby-feeding category to date. “We’re excited to bring these new products to market,” says Joovy founder Rob Gardner. “We pride ourselves in setting high quality standards and being different in our approach to the market.  Our product philosophy is simple:  we want to bring products to consumers that we want to use ourselves, practical and functional with high quality and good looks. We’ve worked with the best bottle designer in the world developing new technology for the feeding category and we’re confident parents will agree that this is the best feeding system available today.” What makes the Boob the best baby bottle on the market? The nipple, vent system, bottle and insulator are state-of-the-art and use today’s best design and materials. Transitioning from breast-to-bottle or bottle-to-breast can be frustrating and delicate, but the boob baby bottle’s innovation and technology make it a “natural” choice for quick and easy transitions.  There are five key features of the Boob Baby Bottle system that are markedly different than any other bottle available today.

Get Green For Spring Grand Prize Spotlight- CellularWindowShades

Tweet

For the Grand Prize for this event CellularWindowShades has been super generous in offering a reader a $250 certificate to their site!!

I had the chance to get a shade for review and I'm so happy I did. 

Emerson's room had blinds in there. They stunk and were broken and were constantly falling off. We ripped them down and hung up a sheet, but it was really light in his room still and was disrupting his sleep. Until we got our shade.

We received a Double Cell Blackout Shade in Latte along with the ComforTrack system in White.

Krimson Klover Review & Giveaway

Tweet

I have worked with Krimson Klover twice in the past now. This is my 3rd time working with them. And I have never been disappointed. I received a sweater when I was pregnant with Emerson, it fit me then and it still fits me now. Then last summer I received a tank top that I ADORE! And this time around I received yet another sweater for my review.

I got the Daisy Chain in Ruby and I love it so much!

Get Green For Spring Sponsor Spotlight- Freja Toys

Tweet

Our next sponsor for the Get Green For Spring hop is the wonderful Freja Toys. She has some AMAZING knit and crochet items for kids and I'm in love with that we received for review. 

I got the Crochet Vegetable Rattles (in tomato, carrot, radish, corn and mushroom), the Sweet Cherry Teething Ring and the Babywearing Mommy and Baby Doll. 

 They all arrived so GORGEOUS!

For our first spotlight we have Imagine Baby. They have some wonderful cloth diaper items and I was super excited to try some of my own! I received the AI2 (All In 2) Diaper Shell (cover) and a 3 pack of the Inserts. 

Conscious Box Review & Giveaway

If you've been around here for a little while you will know that I have a love for Conscious Box. They're subscription boxes are amazing and they're constantly working with bloggers and giving them wonderful opportunities! 

A couple months ago they introduced a Vegan Box and I was able to review one!
