La Jems Burp Cloths Review and Giveaway

As a mother, I am sure you can relate to the fact that when your baby was (or is currently) a baby, there never seemed to be a burp cloth around when you need one! No matter how many I buy, it seems like they are either all dirty and getting washed or are just lost somewhere in baby land!

So when I received La Jems embroidered burp cloths, it was a great relief! :o)

La Jems embroidered burp cloths are the perfect burptime companions for your baby. Each exclusive burp cloth is embroidered with a little friend for your little one! They're perfect for burptime, feeding time, or anytime baby needs a cleaning and a little soothing!

They are durable and easy to fold up and carry with you - in the car, to the beach, and for the holidays - from Buddy the Bear to Peggy Piglet, these burptime companions are ready when you need them!


My Opinion
Like I said before, I was so happy and relieved to receive these burp cloths - especially when I saw how big they were! I knew that they were going to come in handy for lots of messes, spit ups and runny noses - and boy was I ever right!

I recently took these on a trip we took to visit Grandma's house and these cloths carried their own weight big time! They were so soft and therefore able to wipe his runny nose, tough enough to clean up his spit up and slobber or spilled food, and big enough to handle all the messes I threw at it! Plus, they did it all while being cute!

The little embroidery on each towel gives it a touch of cuteness and made me really feel like they were made with love!

I recommend La Jems Burp Cloths to every mother out there with a small child! They have so many uses and are so versatile and cute at the same time! They are great for boys and girls and can be embroidered to fit your little one's personality!

Pros: beautifully embroidered, soft cotton, large size, made with love :o)

Cons: Didn't find much wrong with these great burp cloths!

Buy It: You can purchase La Jems Embroidered Burp Cloths here on the La Jems Website for $20 for a 2-pack

Win It: La Jems is generously offering (1) LaJems 2-pack burp cloth bundle (one burp cloth will be embroidered with one of their 20 unique designs and the other will be their La Jems signature burpcloth.)

Ella's Kitchen Baby Food Review and Giveaway

I am having fun trying all kinds of different baby food flavors with my little guy!

The latest brand that we tried is Ella's Kitchen Stage 1 baby food. These are very different from any other baby food on the supermarket shelves for not only do they contain nothing, absolutely nothing, but pureed organic fruits and vegetables. They have been gently pasteurized and popped into their unique pouches that are so easy when you are out or at home. They are healthy and handy, pure and simple!

They only use whole organic fruits and vegetables - never concentrates! They always use avoid using concentrates because they want to keep 'processing' down to the minimum required to ensure their products are safe for babies.

My Opinion
Ella's Kitchen baby foods and fruit smoothies were actually very good to eat straight from the pouch! However, I used them mostly to mix in with my little boy's rice cereal and he liked it that way too!

I think these would be great for trips, field trips, school lunches, and a quick snack! They are easy to carry around, easy to drink and resealable! Plus, they tasted great and are an easy way to eat servings of fruits and veggies on the go!

I recommend Ella's Kitchen fruit pouches to all people - big or small, adults or children! They are great as baby food but also as a snack for adults and older children!

Pros: organic, easy to carry around and to eat on-the-go, resealable, taste good, use whole fruits/veggies - never concentrates

Cons: I liked the concept and the taste - no cons!

Buy It: You can purchase Ella's Kitchen products at big stores and little stores too! Click here to check the list of stores or search for store that carries Ella's Kitchen food near you!

Win It: Ella's Kitchen is generously offering (1) sample box of baby food pouches (8 in total) to a lucky winner!

Enter here for a chance to win:

(1) 8 pack of Ella's Kitchen baby food pouches

Ok, here are the rules:

Bepe Baby Fleece Slippers Review

Looking for a great baby gift or just some great accessories for your own little one? Well, I recently found a great company called BePe Baby that has accessories from head to toe for babies, toddlers, and us moms too!

I recently received the BePe Baby Fleece Slippers for my little guy! I am sure all mothers can feel my frustration of baby shoes constantly falling off, their bare feet being cold during winter or from the air conditioning in summer, or slippery socks falling off or causing them to slip and fall!

BePe has a solution for all of us moms and our little ones - Fleece Soft Soled Slippers. These soft slippers are hand crafted in the USA and are easy to put on with their elastic heels for a snug fit. They are made from high quality fleece and have an incredible soft and comfortable feel that you and your babies will love!

My Opinion
These slippers were so cute and so soft! I loved them from the minute I opened the package and felt how soft they were! I knew my son would like them too!

And he did! It made crawling and standing a lot easier since he didn't slip around thanks to the nice non-skid soles. Plus, his little feet weren't so cold anymore while he was near the air conditioner. Best of all, they were so cute on him - the pretty blue color matched his eyes! :o)

I recommend BePe Baby's Fleece slippers for all babies and toddlers! They don't get in the way of crawling or walking but are cute, non-skid, easy to put on and off and they keep those little feetsies warm through all seasons! 

Pros: easy to put on, stays on with elastic heels, soft material, keeps feet warm during all seasons, non skid, cute designs available!

Cons: I didn't find anything that I didn't like about these slippers!

Buy It: You can purchase BePe Baby Slippers for $9.99-$12.99 for the baby slippers or $12.99- $15.99 for most of the toddler slippers

Rohto Eye Drops Review

Well, all of us mothers (and fathers!) know about lack of sleep - especially with a newborn! I can't remember the last time I didn't feel tired! Well, if you are feeling my pain (eye pain!) then I got a great product for you!

The secret weapon of makeup artists to the stars and a gift to sleep-deprived people everywhere, ROHTO eye drops are like beauty sleep in a bottle, so you don’t have to face the day looking red-eyed and scary! ROHTO eye drops are the only eye relief products on the market that not only relieve dryness, redness and irritation, but also contain signature ingredients that enhance the sensation of relief and give a “kick” to tired eyes.

There are four different ROHTO products to choose from- you are sure to find one that fits your needs!

-ROHTO® Hydra: The newest product offering, specifically formulated to lubricate and provide long-lasting moisture for dry, irritated eyes with the closest hydration to nature tears, while also providing the brand’s signature cooling “kick”.

-ROHTO® Cool: a general purpose eye drop that combines redness relief with a gentle cooling sensation

-ROHTO® Ice: relieves redness while also soothing itch, irritation and burn with an intense cooling sensation

-ROHTO® Arctic: revives strained, overworked eyes and relieves redness with a mild “pick me up” sensation.

My Opinion
These eye drops are a life saver for a new mom, long overnight flights, athletes who have to compete against the elements or any sleep-deprived person!

You are sure to find a ROHTO eye drop that is perfect for your needs out of the four types!

I love how they work and I also love the containers. They are unique little round containers that will fit easily anywhere you want to store them - purse, pocket, backpack, etc.

I recommend these eye drops to anyone who needs to give some relief to their poor dry, red, tired eyes!

Buy It: You can purchase a 3 pack of ROHTO eye drops for $20 on the ROHTO website or purchase individually by visiting drugstore.com or at Kroger, Walmart, Safeway, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.

For more information, “Like” ROHTO Eye Drops on Facebook for chances to sample products and win great prizes!

Also, ROHTO is sponsoring the ROHTO Endurance Sweepstakes through September 30, 2010, where two grand-prize winners (one male and one female) will receive a men’s and women’s Ceepo® bike, respectively. The sweepstakes also includes weekly prizes of ROHTO Training Kits that will include a valuable assortment of training gear and nutritional items. Readers can go to http://www.winrohto.com/ to enter.

Ocean Complete Sinus Irrigation Review

Well, spring is here and the dreaded allergies are also here! My son and husband have these especially bad! If you also suffer from allergies check out this great product!

New OCEAN Complete® Sinus Irrigation is a unique two-in-one nasal irrigator and nasal moisturizer to help relieve nasal and sinus pressure/congestion, while keeping the nasal passages soothed and moist with a simple switch of the little nozzle! And unlike antihistamines or steroids, OCEAN Complete® is drug free! There’s a special nozzle (orange tip) for easy-to-use nasal irrigation, and a unique mist applicator (white tip) for easy nasal moisturizing. Its unique, non-medicated salt blend formula is pre-mixed and ready-to-go for convenience - similar to the action of a neti pot but without the mess and hassle.

My Opinion
This product works great for nasal congestion! I love that it doesn't contain antihistamines or steroids - just a unique salt blend formula! I have used this before with my athletes (when I was working) to clear up a stuffy nose that was preventing them from breathing efficiently and performing at their best. Some of them wouldn't step out on the court, ice, or track without using it - it works so great!

I recommend Ocean Complete Sinus Irrigation to all allergy and stuffy nose sufferers. It works like a charm!

Buy It: You can purchase Ocean Complete Sinus Irrigation System at Walgreens, Costco, Rite Aid or at your favorite pharmacy.

For more information, they also have a new Ocean Complete Facebook page and a $3 off coupon is also available on their website http://www.oceansinusirrigation.com./

Certain Dri Solid Antiperspirant Review

I sometimes have a real sweating problem, especially in the summer or while working out - and especially when doing both at the same time!

Therefore, I was eager to try the new Certain Dri antiperspirant. Certain Dri® is the number one over-the-counter antiperspirant recommended by doctors for treating excessive perspiration.

While other over-the-counter antiperspirants claim to be “clinical strength” and “waterproof” the Certain Dri formulations are the strongest available, providing 72-hours of protection with each application.


My Opinion
I was a little skeptical going into trying this deodorant because I have tried other antiperspirants that have claimed to help excessive sweaters and other similar claims and they have not worked any better than regular deodorants or antiperspirants.

However, I think this one did stand up to its claims! I put it on after my shower at night and then reapplied it in the morning before I went on a walk in the hot sun. I did not sweat excessively or even sweat at all during or after the walk or any other time during the hot day!

I will definitely be using this deodorant when I want to make sure I won't sweat through my clothes - on a nice dinner, when I am wearing nice clothes, or when it is really hot out!
I recommend Certain Dri antiperspirant to anyone who needs to fight heavy sweating or perspiration - men or women!

Pros: easy to apply, long lasting antiperspirant

Cons: it did fight sweating but it didn't fight the smell of sweat - I definitely smelled by the end of the day!

Buy It: You can purchase Certain Dri for $5.50-$6, almost 40% less than the other clinical strength antiperspirant products! You can buy online on the Certain Dri website or in a store near you! Click here to find a list of stores that carry Certain Dri.

Win It: From May 12, 2010 through July 31, 2010, enter the “Certain Dri® Shopping Spree” sweepstakes for a chance to win one of three prizes, including a $1,000 shopping spree, a $500 shopping spree or a $250 shopping spree! All three winners will also get a year-supply of Certain Dri!www.certaindri.com/sweeps

Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics Review

Ever since I became a mother, I don't dress up much, wear makeup, or go out very often. One of the main reasons (besides being tired and so busy) is that I worry about the ingredients in my makeup. I once wore some blush and after holding my son for awhile, he started to get a little rash on his face. I vowed then to never wear makeup again until I knew it had safe and non-irritating ingredients in it - for my safety and my son's.  

Well, I guess now I won't have any more excuses not to get dressed up and put a little makeup on because I recently received some Lily Lolo Mineral Eyeshadow and Eyeliner. What makes this so exciting for me is that Lily Lilo makeup is free from nano particles, bismuth oxychloride, synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, and parabens! They have only 100% natural makeup! Finally, a safe and non-toxic makeup for me to wear!

My Opinion
I was so excited to receive this makeup! I received the soft brown eye shadow, mudpie eye shadow and brown liner - a great summer look!

The eye shadow came in cute little containers that had three little holes that allowed the mineral powder to come out just a little at a time! I love that! I no longer have to worry about opening my makeup bag and finding eye shadow everywhere! I also loved the colors and the way it went on. It brushed on so smoothly and with just a hint of sparkle! And I no longer have to worry about makeup irritating my eyes with harsh chemicals!

The eye liner was a soft pencil that really smudged easily! I love that because I usually have a hard time smudging eye liner pencils that I have used before! And once again, I did not have to worry about what was going in and by my eyes because it is free from harsh chemicals, lead, parabens and preservatives and is 100% natural! It is even suitable for vegetarians!

I recommend this makeup to every woman! They have all the selection of makeup you would want or need and you NEVER have to worry about what is going on your skin and near your eyes again!

Pros: beautiful colors, easy to apply, free from harsh chemicals, lead, parabens, and preservatives, 100% natural, no spill containers for the eyeshadow

Cons: the eye liner pencil requires a sharpener (which I did not have on hand at the time), the eye liner tip is very soft and broke right away

Buy It: You can purchase Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics on the Lily Lolo website.

And he has a new shirt - which he can always use! :o)

Love Broke Through CD Review

Check out this new CD Love Broke Through by Jennifer Shaw!

Love Broke Through is Shaw's first national project, with six of the CD's ten songs either written or co-written by Shaw. The CD also includes a classical benediction that Shaw uses in all her concerts, "E'en So Lord Jesus Quickly Come".

The songs on Love Broke Through reflect the mountain of intense moments in Jennifer Shaw's life and the lessons learned in the midst of it all. Many of the songs that Jennifer penned for the CD were inspired not only by her years of despair (miscarriage, death of her father, son diagnosed with neurological condition) but with her encounters on various mission trips.

Shaw began her music career as an opera singer after graduating with a Master's degree in Vocal Performance from the prestigious Manhattan School of Music. She later became a Professor of Music for Cedarville University and performed with the Columbus Symphony.

This CD is a great mix of Christian songs and it is a great addition to any Christian's CD collection! Jennifer's inspiring story gives her a unique voice as she shares about God's faithfulness.

Love Broke Through is being distributed to over 650 Christian retail stores via Integra Interative, Inc. It is also available on Jennifer Shaw's website for $15.

Warm Buddy Body Wrap Review and Giveaway

As a busy wife, mother, and health professional, I have always built up a lot of my stress in my shoulders and back! So when I received a Warm Buddy heat/cold body wrap, it was a dream come true for my body - and gave my husband a break from massages! :o)

A Warm Buddy Body Wrap is created from the softest designer fabrics and contains natural grains & lavender flowers. It has a long heat holding ability of 1 hour or more, and makes a great cold pack too!

Simply heat in the microwave or cool in the freezer as desired. This rejuvenating heat/cool therapy infused with aromatherapy can be used to relieve stress and ease the pain of aching muscles, menstrual cramps, sore backs, shoulders and stomachs.

A Body Wrap makes the perfect hot water bottle alternative that does not cool off or leak. Body Wraps come with a washable cover.



My Opinion
Let me just start off by saying - YOU are going to want one of these!

The first thing I noticed when opening the package was how soft the cover was! I had to immediately lay it against my face and it was sooooo soft! Then the smell of lavender encircled me and I immediately felt relaxed without even using it yet! That is always a good sign! :o)

It was so easy to heat - you just stick it in the microwave and it was ready to use! And Oh... was it relaxing! The perfect combination of the heat and the lavendar immediately made me feel like I was in a spa!

I recommend these Warm Buddy Body Wraps to EVERYONE!!! They are especially great for stressed out, sore muscled, tired mothers who need a spa experience in the comfort of their own home! They are also really great for anyone who needs a heat pack or a cold pack along with a little aromatherapy on the side! :o)

Pros: easy to use as a heat pack or cool pack, the cover was sooo soft, nice big size to cover a lot of area, infused with lavender for extra calming, long heat hold, washable cover

Cons: the lavender is a little strong - I had to keep it in the bag because the smell overtook my house! :o)

Buy It: You can purchase a Warm Buddy Body Wrap for $39.95. To find a location near you, click here to find one!

Win It: Warm Buddy is generously offering (1) Warm Buddy Body Wrap (worth $39.95!!) to one lucky winner!

Softlips PURE 100% Natural Lip Care Product Review and Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED



I am addicted to lip balm...like seriously! So when I had a chance to check out the new Softlips PURE 100% Natural lip care products, I jumped on it!

Softlips PURE 100% Natural lip care product line is an affordable, 100% natural lip care line that includes lip glosses, tinted lip balms, lip butter, and lip polish. The premium products couple 100% natural ingredients with light pleasant flavors and are free from preservatives, phthalates, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil and gluten!


Want some color without going overboard for the beach or those hot summer days, Softlips PURE 100% Natural Lip Gloss and Lip Tint are a perfect choice. Each provides hydrating, natural SPF 15 for dry lips with zinc oxide while providing a natural glossy color with shine or sheer tinted color. The lip tint and lip gloss are available in three gorgeous shades- Coral Charm, Natural Honesty, and Shell Pink.


For the nude lip look with a little shine, Softlips PURE 100% Natural Lip Butter is a great option. It goes on silky and leaves lips with a hint of shine while providing hydrating, natural SPF 15 protection with zinc oxide.
Dry, flaky lips are never pretty and often the end result after spending too much time in the sun or pool. Softlips PURE 100% Natural Lip Polish provides natural exfoliation for lips with organic coconut flakes and sugar and moisturizes, leaving lips looking healthy and smooth.

My Opinion
I have always been a fan of Softlips but when I switched to safe and natural lip balms, I sadly had to leave Softlips behind. But NOT NOW!! Softlips is back with a 100% Naturals line that contains no preservatives, phthalates, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil and gluten! And I am back to loving them all over again. It is like a happy family reunion! :o)

All of the lip products went on so smoothly and smelled so good too! Plus, I loved that some of them had SPF 15 in them - I hate when my lips burn when I am out on a walk with my son!

I recommend Softlips PURE 100% Natural lip care products to EVERYONE! These are great for men and women, children and teens! They are safe and natural so you won't have to worry about what is going into your child's mouth or yours!

Pros: no icky, toxic stuff (preservatives, phthalates, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil and gluten), goes on smoothly and hydrates my dry lips, great shine, tastes good too!

Cons: not much to say here - I love lip balms (natural ones) of all kind and now I can add these to my list!

Buy It: Softlips® PURE 100% Natural lip care products are available in the Naturals/Organic section at Target stores nationwide from $3.99 - $5.99.
