Celebrate #nationalrelaxationday with #ThreeHappyCoconuts!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I don't know if there is any better day to celebrate during the year than National Relaxation Day coming August 15th! :) It sounds like a great reason to take a deep breath, grab a great book (or whatever you do to relax!) and find a comfy pillow to relax on!

I know I will definitely be doing that on August 15th!

And if you are looking for a great pillow to relax on this coming Relaxation Day, let me recommend the organic pillows from Three Happy Coconuts, the newly founded Los Angeles-based organic bedding company founded by mom entrepreneur Camilla Kim.

Kim founded the company out of concern for her two young daughters' health, and her strong belief that they should not be at risk while sleeping. The collection, which includes plush mattresses, pillow toppers and pillows for kids and adults, represents her company's key values: family, comfort, and safety in the certified organic materials.

Three Happy Coconuts' collection includes: mattresses, pillows, pillow topper, crib bed, and adjustable bed. The products use certified organic materials throughout, not just in the exterior components.

I absolutely LOVE their collection, the materials they use and their mission! I received the Happiness pillow to try out and I gave it to my daughter to use because having my children use organic bedding is so important to me and for their health! She just moved to a big girl twin bed and big girl pillow so she is so excited to have a new pillow! And I am excited to know every time she lays her head down, she isn't breathing any toxins or harmful ingredients!

Happiness is one of two hypoallergenic pillows made of pure organic latex for kids and adults suffering from allergies and asthma, and anyone who needs a chemical-free alternative to traditional cotton or wool pillows. Happiness (retail $100-120, standard & queen) comes in a traditional pillow shape and provides excellent head and neck support, while providing ventilation due to the strategic placement of air holes. This pillow  does not retain heat or moisture, so it remains cool, dry, mold- and bacteria-free even in hot and humid environments.

The pillow is really soft and comfortable to lay on but isn't too puffy to make your neck ache. It is a large pillow (almost didn't fit the standard pillow case!) but it like sleeping on air! It is definitely perfect for National Relaxation Day!

Plus, to help you RELAX this coming Saturday, make sure to enter their awesome social media contest where they are giving away two Happiness pillows in honor of National Relaxation Day (August 15th)!

The contest to win two free Happiness pillows, along with entry rules, are announced here, and will run through August 14, 2015. So HURRY OVER and ENTER TODAY! You will love their Happiness pillows!

Zippy Sacks & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Do you have the same issues with your children having messy beds that I do??!!! 

Or maybe you worry about your children not being warm enough at night because they never seem to use the blankets that are in their bed!!! My son is definitely that way! He has blankets and sheets in his bed that seem to never get used!!! He is in the basement of our house and in the winter it gets REALLY cold down there! 

But I have found the perfect solution to our woes and I am so excited to share with you Zippy Sack!! Maybe it can help you and give you peace of mind for your children (and a cleaner bed!!!) like it has for me!!!

Zippy Sack is the fun new way to help kids make their bed with just a quick zip and a flip! Made from soft and cuddly machine washable fleece, it slips over the child’s bed like a fitted sheet and stays in place.

At bedtime, kids simply zip inside for a night of snug and cozy dreams without the worry of their covers sliding off. It even includes a pocket for their favorite things. In the morning, with just a zip and a flip, the bed is made and magically transformed into a cuddly friend. Making the bed will become kids’ favorite chore.

Each Zippy Sack comes in a reusable bag with carry handle. Characters include: Kitty, Puppy, Dino and Panda. Ages: 4+

My son got to transform his bed with the Dino ZippySack and the material is SO SOFT! It isn't a very thick blanket so I wouldn't recommend only the Zippy Sack blanket for cold winter nights but it is definitely better than nothing! :) At least you know it will stay in place to keep your child covered with something in the winter!

It really was simple to put on and literally took me a few seconds! It fit perfectly on my son's twin mattress and transformed his bed and room into a fun place to sleep! Even my daughter had to try it out! :)

So, forget messy beds and searching for blankets to try and stay snug! ZippySack is like sleeping inside a fleece hug! In the morning when you wake, just zip and flip. Your child will love it and so will you!

Buy It: 

You can purchase Zippy Sacks for a MSRP: $29.99 (twin size); $39.99 (full size) at www.ZippySack.com and at retailers nationwide.

This all inclusive comforter set comes with everything you need and adds a vibrant splash of color to your bedroom. You'll fall in love with this super chic look and soft to-the-touch feel.

Giovanni Bounce Comfort Memory Foam Pillow Luxor Linens Review

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My husband is endlessly complaining about his pillow at night and in the morning...and that is after he has tried almost every different style, brand, and type of pillow ever made. And yet, he still hasn't found one "to his liking" (except mine of course!) :)

I think the one style he hasn't tried is the memory foam pillow so when I saw a really nice one from Luxor Linens, I thought I would give this pillow battle one more valiant effort!

Luxor Linens is a luxury bedding and home textiles company that specializes in Egyptian Cotton and they have great products available that are ideal for home decorating as well as great gift ideas – and all customizable with personalized monogramming!

Offering the world’s finest Egyptian cotton bedding, towels, robes and other home textiles, Luxor Linens strives to create a truly personalized experience for all of their shoppers, without ever having to leave their home. With just the click of a mouse, your personalized and immaculately crafted order is prepared for you in their bespoke workshop located in Linden, NJ complete with personalized monogramming and superior gift packaging that upon arrival will have you feeling like a king or queen.

My husband received the Giovanni Bounce Comfort Memory Foam Standard Size Pillow from Luxor Linens and you can definitely tell right away that this pillow is quality made and made to last!

I was really hopeful for this pillow because of two things 1) It is hypoallergenic for my husband's allergies 2) It is a great pillow for all sleeping postures!

The Memory Foam Pillows treated hypoallergenic case sustains a dust mite and mildew free environment as well as a temperature sensitive experience. Sleeping postures of all kinds are accommodated by its ergonomic design. The unique clustered memory foam construction creates enhanced circulation, and improved airflow without ever losing its shape.

It took my husband a couple nights to get used to this pillow but he has been using it faithfully since receiving it and I haven't heard any complaints lately! :) I am hoping that this pillow is a keeper for my husband for the long run! :)

Buy It: You can purchase the Giovanni Bounce Comfort Memory Foam Standard Size Pillow for $99 from the Luxor Linens website.

Fox Signature Memory Foam Air Mattress

I have slept on my fair share of air mattresses in my day...at family and friends' houses when visiting and even in my own house when moving and our regular bed is put away. They are convenient to set up and put away for guests, but I have to admit that I have never slept very comfortably on one with my husband EVER! They usually deflate by morning, one side is sinking, we fall off, or the blankets don't stay on! I usually find myself sleeping on the floor on a deflated air mattress with no blankets! NOT FUN!

So when AirMattress.com approached me about sending me one of their best air mattresses, the Fox Signature Memory Foam, I about jumped up and down in excitement. I immediately pictured using this air mattress the first nights in our new home when we get one and it instantly gave me hope and excitement! And I can't wait to tell you why! Wait until you see HOW AMAZING THIS AIR MATTRESS IS!

I absolutely LOVE the Fox Signature Memory Foam Air Mattress that we received for review because this luxurious bed looks and feels like a regular mattress and it is like no other air mattress that I have ever seen or slept on! The Fox Airbed Signature Memory Foam Queen Air Mattress ensures absolute comfort and durability for various sleeping needs. It has so many great features that sets it FAR apart from the competition!

First of all, it has a memory foam topper! The one inch foam topper is made with 50% memory foam and 50% regular foam. These levels make for quick rebound while shifting in the night. It makes this bed so comfortable you may just use it as your permanent sleeping solution. I have definitely thought about it, for sure!

Second of all, this air mattress looks like a normal mattress so guests won't even know they are sleeping on an air mattress when visiting! Even though this bed is raised like a normal mattress at 25 inches, none of the durability or support is lost. It contours to any shape, and it remains steady on all sides of the bed.

Third of all, it includes a washable protective sheet, which covers the sides and bottom and a bed skirt that zips to the sides and top. No more sheets sliding around! The top sheet zips onto the protective bottom cover, ensuring they will stay in place all night long. This may be my personal favorite feature just because my husband tends to be a crazy sleeper plus a blanket hog so by morning our sheets and blankets tend to be completely off the bed or completely on his side! Never again with these attached sheets! :)

And check out these other AMAZING features:

• Puncture Proof: Fox's patent pending sheet design wraps your entire airbed with a protect cover, preventing any small leaks from happening
• Built to Last: This air bed is built with 60% thicker vinyl than traditional airbeds
• Tallest Airbed Online: Raised 25 inches off the ground! Enjoy sleeping at the same height of a regular box spring and mattress
• Pump with Remote Included: Built-in pump with remote control for easy comfort adjustments
• Queen Size: 80" x 60" x 25" (air bed measures true to size)
• 1 Year Warranty: 1 Year Extended Warranty
• Includes: Fitted sheet, bed skirt, 1 inch memory foam pad, protective bottom cover, built-in pump, remote control, travel bag, deluxe patch repair kit, instructions

Check out this awesome video to see exactly what I am talking about! You will instantly love this air mattress like I do!

And best of all, the Inflation Time is only 2 minutes so it can easily be set up...even for those no-notice last minute guests!

So if you are looking to invest in a new spare bedroom mattress but don't want to spend big bucks for a mattress and box spring or don't have room for a permanent bed to be set up, consider setting up the Fox Signature Memory Foam Air Mattress only when needed or permanently in your guest room! You will love the easy set up and save money on new sheets and your guests will love the comfort!

Buy It: You can purchase the Fox Signature Memory Foam Air Mattress for $259.99 (plus FREE SHIPPING!) from AirMattress.com

Get Cute Organic Pillows from Twinko!

Organic bedding in our house is a MUST! We spend the majority of our lives in our rooms and in our beds so I make sure our bedding is safe, organic, and doesn't emit harmful fumes, especially into my children's precious bodies!

So when I came across the Twinko website and saw that they offer eco-friendly infant/ toddler pillows AND they are super cute at the same time, I knew I wanted to receive their pillows and have my son use them!

Twinko offers items that are tailored around the idea of children being little explorers. Their products are made out of 100% organic cotton fabric and printed with eco-friendly water based ink. Every piece is hand silk-screened in New York City!

We received the cute Kory the Elephant from the Twinko Character Pillows. I immediately LOVED how soft the pillow material was and comfy it was to lay on! I wanted to put it in my bed!!! But I shared like a nice mommy and let my son have it (even though it was meant for my daughter when she was older!) My son would not have it any other way - the minute he saw the cute elephant, he wanted it! :)

These character pillows are locally made in New York City with 100 percent organic cotton fabric and organic cotton filling. All printed with eco-friendly water-based ink. I love that I don't worry about what my son is laying his head on and he will not sleep on ANY OTHER pillow anymore so it must be comfy! :)

We also received the cute Star hand knitted crochet pillow. Locally handmade in New York City with acrylic yarns and poly filling, it is perfect to decorate any nursery or bedroom and fits perfectly into my daughter's star and moon themed room! I can't wait to put it in her room when we finally get our own house again! For now, my son is safe-keeping it for her and won't fall asleep without it by his side!

So if you are looking for cute decorations for your child's bedroom but want it to be safe, eco-friendly and organic, check out the super cute and comfy selection from Twinko!

Your Baby Will Sleep Well & Stay Safe on the Lullaby Earth Crib Mattress

One of the hardest choices I had to make when I had my first child was what mattress to get for my son's crib. There ARE SO MANY CHOICES OUT THERE and I was completely lost being a new mother!

After doing a lot of research, I found that I wanted a crib mattress that was really safe for my child, which means that it needed to be made without chemicals or allergens. I then started looking for mattresses that were made without harmful polyurethane foam, vinyl/PVC, and other harmful ingredients!

The only problem came when I started looking at the price tags of some of these safe and organic crib mattresses. It just wasn't in our budget in the time (as sad as it made me!). I ended up settling for a safe mattress but definitely not the one I wanted to get.

I recently learned about the new Lullaby Earth crib mattresses and I sure wish they were around during my search a couple years ago! This mattress meets all of the criteria I was looking for (and still am looking for with my daughter's crib mattress!) and was affordable at the same time!! I am so excited to share it with you today!

The Lullaby Earth mattress has unmatched safety features and benefits:

• Super-lightweight design (approx. 7 pounds total while still a full 6 inches thick,making it easy to lift the mattress and change the sheets)
• Food-grade polyethylene waterproofing (meets food-contact standards)
• Easy wipe-clean surface (no staining)
• Seamless edges (hygienic easy wipe when cleaning - nothing gets caught in the edges)
• Square corners (for a better fit in most cribs)
• Dust-mite and bed bug-proof(bugs cannot penetrate the waterproof surface)
• Comfortable yet firm surface (per pediatrician and CPSC recommendations)
• Snug design with strong side support (per CPSC recommendations)
• The entire mattress is Made in the USA Lifetime Limited Warranty (to the original buyer)

What I love best about the Lullaby Earth mattress is their unmatched safety certifications: They are certified by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute to its "Children & Schools" standard as well as to its "Select" standard, GREENGUARD'S most stringent standard for both home and healthcare environments.
It is also recommended by Healthy Child Healthy World, a national children's advocacy coalition promoting healthier children's products!

Lullaby Earth is free of the following:
*No polyurethane foam
*No vinyl, PVC, or phthalates
*No latex or other known allergens
*No harmful fire retardant chemicals

*No perfluorinated compounds (PFC's)

*No harmful pesticides

The certifications and all the ingredients they are FREE of is so important to me!

But, what really stood out to me most of all, is the really affordable price the Lullaby Earth mattress is offered at! Lullaby Earth mattresses are only $159 MSRP ($199 for 2-stage Dual Firmness - Infant & Toddler Sides)!! That is the price many other crib mattresses are - but none of them are as safe or comfortable!! That can fit in most budgets and peace of mind also comes with it! :)

Buy It: You can purchase the Lullaby Mattress starting at $159 at a local retailer near you
