Hello Spring! Hello @zutano Booties

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

It's Spring and that means lots of new babies are born and the babies born in winter are appearing outdoors for the first time! 😊

Parents gotta keep those toesies warm but looking cute at the same time so Zutano booties are here for the rescue! Zutano has the perfect booties for every season but as the weather gets warmer their cotton baby booties are perfect for the little munchkin that isn’t quite on the move yet. And for those older babies, Zutano’s leather baby shoes are available in a variety of colors and designs!

Booties are a perfect gift for a new mom or baby shower - they are so cute - you are sure to get that wonderful AWwww moment!

I received two different booties from Zutano and I love both! They are so cute and will make my new little niece fashionable and warm!

The Cozie Furry Baby Booties are their best-selling cozie fleece booties featuring their signature two-snap secure fit and an ultra soft fleece exterior with an interlock cotton lining to wrap your baby's feet in comfort. The two adjustable snaps help the booties stay on while allowing them to shape well to the contours of your baby's foot. Designed for durability, these booties maintain their shape and feel after extended wash and wear. Featured here in hot pink.

And the Silver Leather Baby Shoe are great for older babies! This soft-soled baby shoe is designed for comfort and versatility, serving as the perfect crib shoe or first walker for babies.

The upper body is metallic silver and is made of 100% genuine leather, making it soft and breathable. An adjustable hook and loop strap on each side allows the shoe to be tightened or loosened for the perfect fit, keeping it securely on little feet.

The outsole is made of flexible, soft leather, making it easy for babies to bend and move their feet, while tread at the heels and toes provides slip resistant protection. The insole is cushioned with high-density foam for added comfort and durability.

Each pair comes with a drawstring canvas shoe bag for protection that doubles as a beautiful gift bag.

Let @BoironUSA Help You With Allergies & Aches/Pains this Spring!

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

Are you fighting allergies this Spring??!!

I know I am fighting them and so are many people I know! Allergies affect more than 50 million Americans and many allergy sufferers think they have only two choices when they’re hit with symptoms—simply suffer or take an OTC medication that bears warnings about side effects. 

Fortunately, there’s a third option—homeopathic medicines. I trust Boiron’s line of homeopathic allergy medicines and I reach for them every time symptoms hit! They work naturally with my body to provide relief without causing drowsiness or interacting with other medications.

They have an exciting new product that I am loving - Optique 1® Eye Drops! These single-use drops offer soothing relief for minor eye irritation due to fatigue, computer work or airborne irritation such as ragweed, other pollens and dust. It also soothes red, dry, itchy and burning eyes often associated with allergies.It is recommended for everyone ages 2 & up and these sterile, single-use drops are preservative-free.

And if you are trying to get back in shape this Spring to get swimsuit ready or have sore muscles due to a hard workout, then I highly recommend Arnicare from Boiron too! It is my favorite product from them and soothes all my sore muscles, aches and pains!

It comes in two varieties - Cream and Gel - and temporarily relieves muscle pain and stiffness due to minor injuries, overexertion and falls. Plus, it reduces pain, swelling and discoloration from bruises.

I love this stuff and it takes away all my aches and pains within hours!

Trust Boiron this Spring with your allergies and sore muscles!

Healthy Gluten-Free Eating with @BfreefoodsUSA

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

We don't need to be gluten-free in our house for allergy or health reasons, but I choose to feed my family gluten-free foods whenever I can just because I think sometimes I serve way too much wheat and carbs :). But I am not goin' to lie...sometimes gluten-free just doesn't taste as good and I can't get my family to eat the gluten-free products I serve.

Do you ever face that problem? Whether you have to eat gluten-free or just try to, it is sometimes hard to find DELICIOUS and healthy gluten-free options. That is why I am so excited to share with you healthy and allergen-free breads from BFree! BFree Foods’ line of gluten-free bread is packed with hidden nutritional gems that help with health while still remaining entirely free from wheat, nuts, soy and all other major allergens. Plus, their products really do taste GOOD and my family never knows the difference when I serve BFree foods!

Some of the ingredients on BFree’s roster include:

· Teff, which is loaded with calcium and higher in amino acids than other grains so it boosts energy without a crash.

· Potato Flour, a resistance starch that keeps kids full throughout the day.

· Chia, which is high in fiber and protein.

· Pea Protein, a great vegan substitute for protein that is also high in fiber.

Not only are all of these products gluten free, but they are also wheat, dairy, egg, nut and soy free, making them free from all major allergens and suitable for vegans! Sometimes people that suffer from an intolerance to one food group are also prone to suffer an intolerance to another.

Plus they have such a wide variety of delicious products - I find myself serving BFree products with almost every meal now!

We really love the rolls with our grilled hamburgers, the bagels for Tuna Melts and Hot Dog buns for grilling season! Plus, the Wraps are great for tacos, especially the new Sweet Potato Wraps!

BFree products taste so great you won’t believe they’re not wheat! These breads and rolls are soft and don’t crumble. The Wraps wrap and roll without cracking, whether you eat them hot or cold! Avoiding wheat and gluten doesn’t mean than you have to lose out on taste any more!

If you have to or just choose to eat gluten-free, choose BFree and be very happy eating gluten-free!
