Fashion Friends Magnetic Set & Giveaway

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

I am a big fan of creative play with my kids! My children, especially my son, have the most creative minds and sometimes spend their whole days creating stories, make believe, and pretending!

Creative play is a big part of any child’s development, and encouraging a love of creating can help little ones grow in ways you can’t even imagine!

That’s why The Manhattan Toy Company is introducing four new themed adventures ranging from fashion design to transportation vehicles in their award winning imagine I CAN® play kit line. All games and kits feature appealing tin boxes with a carrying handle, perfect for those on-the-go this summer. Playful grownups and kids alike are sure to delight in magnetic games Character Mix-Up, Fashion Friends and Travel Time. These affordably priced kits were created for children ages 3 and up.

My children are LOVING the Fashion Friends magnetic kit!

Fashion Friends 

$25.00 • Ages 3+

Little fashionistas will enjoy making their own fashion statement by mixing and matching outfit and accessory pieces. Packed inside this kit are 85 magnetized pieces and 4 paper background scenes. Pants, dresses, hats and tops -- so many choices and colors to mix and match. A little imagination can make a chic outfit or happily avoid making a mismatch. Fashionable tin case with handle allows for easy storage and portability for another say-yes-to-the-dress session.

My children, especially my daughter, love to dress up dolls in different outfits over and over and do magnets so I knew this Fashion Friends kit would be a perfect fit for them!

And I was right! From the first day I opened this magnetic kit, they have been playing it every day, mixing and matching outfit after outfit, creating and loving it!

I love the magnetic aspect and carrier case because it allows us to take this kit easily on trips in the car and even to restaurants and other places they need to sit quietly for awhile.

There are tons of great options for the clothing and accessories and I love the different backgrounds they offer as well!

This is a great creativity magnetic kit and I highly recommend it for encouraging creativity in any house!

Buy It: You can purchase the Fashion Friends Magnetic Kit for $25 from the The Manhattan Toy Company website.

My Opinion

Since I run a lot of miles a week, I also wear and go through a lot of socks! Therefore, I am always on the lookout for quality socks that will last!

I definitely found quite a variety to choose from in the athletic socks section. I love the Excell socks I received (pictured above) because you could pick the color of the heel and toe so they are really distinguished as mine when doing laundry! No more husband stealing my socks! :) Plus, they were extremely comfortable to wear and run in!

I also love their selection of dress socks! All my current dress socks have holes in them, so I was so excited to receive new ones! I love these super cute purple (my favorite color!) Chatties Women's Argyle Knee Socks! They are so comfortable too!

I recommend Socks4Life for all people! Everyone wears socks and needs so many different pairs for so many different occasions - why not look through the amazing selection at Socks4Life and get them all at the same place!

Saffron Rouge Mascara Review and Giveaway

Founded in 2002 by Kirstin Binder, Saffron Rouge is comprised of a group of beauty experts that are passionate about organics. They take great pride in only selling the best and purest beauty products. Their goal is to operate a website where consumers can shop carefree because they know that everything we carry is truly organic. Saffron Rouge is the first beauty retailer in the world to focus exclusively on organics.

Offering over 1,000 of the world’s finest organic beauty & aromatherapy products, Saffron Rouge is North America's #1 online destination for organic skin care, cosmetics and aromatherapy.

In order for a product to be sold at Saffron Rouge, it must meet the following criteria:

1- It must have at least one of the organic body care certifications, or provide sufficient evidence to Saffron Rouge that they are using certified organic content as much as possible.

2- All non-agricultural or processed agricultural ingredients in a product that cannot be certified organic must be on The Green List™. Saffron Rouge considers products that contain even one Black List™ ingredient not acceptable for sale.

This way we can guarantee that all the products available at Saffron Rouge are free of toxic synthetic ingredients, synthetic colors, fragrances and preservatives, and are never tested on animals.

I generously received the Volume Mascara By Dr.Hauschka. Dramatically enhance and thicken even the littlest lashes using fewer coats with this mineral-pigment mascara. The super creamy, non-clumping formula is gentle enough for sensitive eyes. Beeswax, rose wax, candelilla wax and silk powder are expertly blended together to plump and protect lashes. Soothing black tea and eyebright extracts nourish the delicate area around the eye. Neem leaf extract strengthens lashes to keep them lush and healthy. It is available in 3 shades.

My Opinion

I am one of those women with "barely there" eyelashes! In fact, I barely ever wear mascara because there isn't much there to put mascara on!

However, when I tried this Volume Mascara from Saffron Rouge, it was like wearing someone else's eyes! :) I actually looked and felt like I had eyelashes again! It was awesome!

However, my favorite part about this mascara is how safe and gentle it is on my eyes and skin! There are no harmful ingredients that make my eyes water and eyelashes fall out (like some previous mascaras I have used!) I never have to worry about what is in it because Saffron Rouge guarantees all their products are safe and free from harmful ingredients! I love that!

I recommend Saffron Rouge and all their products for every person concerned about what they are putting on their skin, what is in their makeup, and what is being absorbed into their skin. They have an AMAZING selection of all safe, organic products for face, skin, body, bath, and hair! You won't need to shop anywhere else for your beauty needs!

Buy It: You can purchase the Volume Mascara by Dr.Hauschka for $28.90 on the Saffron Rouge website.

Win It: Saffron Rouge is generously offering (1) Volume Mascara to a lucky winner!

The philosophy of pediped® has always been Comfort, Quality and Style, which is why pediped® was one of the first children’s shoe companies the American Podiatric Medical Association awarded their Seal of Acceptance for promoting healthy foot development.

The Adventure Line is an innovative collection of eco-friendly, machine washable, water-safe shoes.

I generously received the cute Navy/White Brady boy sandals which feature:

-Soft, Cushioned Leather Soles - Made with a double layer of leather plus a foam pad on the soles for extra cushioning, pediped® footwear provide infants with the ultimate in comfort and protection.

-Velcro Fasteners - pediped® footwear feature velcro fasteners that make them quick and easy to put on (even with just one hand). And they stay securely on babies’ feet.

-Indoor/Outdoor Use - pediped® footwear provide the benefits of a true soft-sole, yet are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

My Opinion

I have always been a huge fan of pediped shoes! I love their mission to create safe and comfortable shoes for our little ones and I love how cute all their shoes are!

I am so excited to have found a super cute but yet comfortable pair of sandals for my son for the summer! Just seeing them made me so ready to get him in them and go on walks again!

In these cute sandals, his feet won't get all sweaty but will stay cool while he plays! I love how soft the leather is and I just know he won't want to take these shoes off once I get them on!

I recommend pediped shoes for all children! They are designed to be very comfortable are made especially for young walkers and to help foot development! Above all that, they are EXTREMELY cute and will definitely keep your child lookin' fashionable!

Biebert Studios Necklace Review and Giveaway

Ever since Jennifer from Biebert Studios was a young girl, she was fascinated with art and the idea that beauty can inspire, communicate, and make a statement about one's personality.

Lately, she has been focused on creating beautiful, bold and fashionable necklaces, bracelets, and earrings from materials and styles that evoke strong emotions. Her passion is to make you feel unique, confident, and beautiful.

2010 was a breakout year for her! She was a 2010 A List Winner and was invited to several galleries and art shows to share her work. She is looking to make 2011 the year that jewelry is personal again!

My Opinion

I graciously received the custom made Onyx Cabochon wrapped in Sterling Silver necklace from Biebert Studios (shown above).

I asked Jennifer to make me a silver and black pendant and she did just that! I absolutely love this necklace! It is petite and feminine and will match with so many of my sweaters, dresses and outfits!

Can you believe she made this slider from scratch just for me??!! I just can't believe she made it just for me! How awesome is that?! I love most of all that it is so versatile - it is made to go on a slider necklace, but I can also put it on a chain if I am looking for a longer necklace!

I definitely recommend Biebert Studios for all you jewelry lovers that want a one-of-a-kind piece for your collection! Jennifer is so great to work with and will make your thoughts and dreams of YOUR dream jewelry piece come to life and you will be able to wear it forever! No one will ever have the same necklace, bracelet or earrings as you when you order from Biebert Studios! :)

Buy It: You can purchase all custom made Biebert Studios jewelry on the Biebert Studios website or by contacting Jennifer on the Biebert Studios Facebook Page.

As a generous thank you to all my awesome readers, Biebert Studios will have all pieces in the online gallery 10% off and will give FREE Shipping & Handling for people that mention this review from The Review Stew!!  If interested, just post on Biebert Studios facebook what piece you’d like, and Jennifer will contact you with details.

Win It: Biebert Studios is generously offering (1) Custom Crafted Sterling Silver Slider (worth up to $300!!!) to a lucky winner!

Ecoland Organic Toddler Socks Review

As an environmentally-conscious business, Ecoland constantly take steps towards sustainability. They originally started with the Slow Fashion movement, but in the process of providing long-lasting organic cotton apparel, they’ve gradually realized that supporting non-profits that share their vision of a ‘slow lifestyle’ should be a part of their green business model.

They’re a small, family-owned company that believes in helping our planet and our loved ones by producing the best quality organic cotton apparel. Through their products and business practices, they seek to promote environmental and social responsibility:

I generously received the warm and cozy toddler combo crew organic cotton socks.

These socks are:
• soft and stay on toddler's feet
• lightweight and stretchability provides the perfect fit
• cushioned sole
• for boy or girl
• machine washable
• comes with 3 different designs

My Opinion

I love to clothe my son in organic clothing whenever possible! So when I saw Ecoland's products, I instantly loved their mission and their organic clothing! They have an awesome variety of organic clothing for all ages, genders, and body parts! :)

I received the cutest toddler socks for my son! They are so soft and comfortable on him and he can wear them for everyday or even as dress socks! I love that they are organic and I don't have to worry about any pesticides or other harmful ingredients being near his feet (where so much is absorbed into the body!)

I recommend the Ecoland toddler socks for all little childrens' feet! They fit a wide range of sizes and both genders so they can be shared between children! You will love the cute designs and the safe organic cotton material!

Buy It: You can purchase the Toddler's combo crew socks for $15.00 on the Ecoland website.

Jada Michaels Pajamas Review and Giveaway



"Sexy is seeing the display on the bathroom scale, the size posted on the tag of your jeans, the date of your next birthday and knowing those are just numbers. Sexy is discovering yourself, embracing who you are and not being afraid to love what makes you special. Without allowing anyone's thoughts, views, opinions or words define how you feel about yourself. Numbers are just numbers...opinions are someone else's. True sexiness comes from within and is unleashed by knowing that just being YOU is what makes you feel sexy. Feel sexy, be sexy!"
                                                                                                                            ~ Jada Michaels

I absolutely love this quote by Jada Michaels, the owner of the awesome site I am featuring today! If every woman lived by these words, we would have a lot less depression, anxiety, worries, and wrinkles! :)

Jada absolutely lives by these words in her online store as she supplies sexy pajamas, lingerie, robes and other sexy items for all sizes and ages!

I generously received the Polka Dot Satin Pajamas. These silky pajamas have a collared sleep shirt, button front, and elastic drawstring pants. This polka dot print sleep shirt and elastic drawstring pants are perfect for being the belle of the bed. I also received the sexy Flawless Satin robe with pockets!

My Opinion

As I have mentioned before, I basically live in pj's! :) I am so excited to add these silky polka dotted pajamas from Jada Michaels to my wardrobe!

These pajamas are SO COMFORTABLE and sexy at the same time! Most importantly, my husband loves me in them too! :) I love that I can wear them to bed but also around the house and feel comfortable!

I also really love the black robe I received! This robe is perfect over lingerie/pajamas or even to cover up after a bath/shower! I love how lightweight and silky it is!

I recommend Jada Michaels and her awesome selection of lingerie, pajamas and robes for all women, no matter size or age! If you are looking to feel sexy, then Jada Michaels is the place for you to look and buy something for yourself!

Buy It: You can purchase the Polka Dotted Pajamas for $52.00 and the Flawless Satin Robe for $47.00 on the Jada Michaels website.

Honeybee Gardens Nail Polish Review and Giveaway

Since 1995, Honeybee Gardens, Inc. has operated under one simple concept, "Create pure, all-natural bath and body care products made from only the finest organic ingredients, offer them at a reasonable price, and treat every customer like a friend." Along the way, they've managed to do some things they're very proud of. For starters, under no circumstances do they do animal testing, their packaging is made from 100% recyclable materials, and their raw material suppliers practice responsible harvesting.

Honeybee Gardens products are created entirely of natural materials. You can actually pronounce their ingredients! They reuse and recycle as much as possible and, perhaps most importantly, they DO NOT test ANY of their products on animals.

I generously received their WaterColors Non-Peel Off Polish. For those who want an alternative to solvent-based nail enamel, they've got the solution for you! Their unique water-based polish is free from harsh chemical odors; no more nasty fumes! But perhaps best of all, there's also no need for toxic smelly nail polish remover - this product removes with rubbing alcohol, vodka/grain alcohol or their Nail Polish Remover! Thanks to their new patented technology, there's nothing else like it on the market!

The polish is odorless, non-toxic earth-friendly formula, long wearing and available in fabulous colors. They contain NO FD&C colors, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, xylene, or formaldehyde!

My Opinion

I was so excited to receive these awesome nail polishes! I do not use any nail polish that has toxic ingredients and fumes anymore so I had a very limited supply/colors! I now have two new beautiful colors added to my collection - a shade of red and blue! I am so excited to use the beautiful blue color on my toenails for our cruise!

I also love the Nail Polish Remover I received from them because I was wondering how I was going to get my current nail polish off to try the new ones! I don't have any of the regular toxic polish removers so I usually just wore it until the polish was all off! Now I don't have to anymore! I can use this safe, non toxic nail polish from Honeybee Gardens and then paint on their safe, nontoxic nail polish whenever I want and as much as I want! I love that Honeybee Gardens cares as much about safe and nontoxic products as I do!

As I looked around their site and products, I fell more and more in love with their AMAZING selection of safe products and their philosophy! I now know where to go and recommend others to go to for any type of cosmetics, lip, body, or hair care! I also really like their blog written by the owner Melissa Hertzler. I loved hearing about her experiences living her natural and organic life! I could relate to many of stories and I am sure you could too! Make sure to check it out!

I recommend Honeybee Gardens nail polish and polish remover for all women! Their products are safe and won't seep dangerous chemicals into your skin and body! Plus, their selection of nail polish is awesome and you can find any color you are searching for!

Buy It: You can purchase all nail polish for $9.99 on the Honeybee Gardens website.

Win It: Honeybee Gardens is generously offering (2) nail polishes of choice to a lucky winner!
