Blooming Bath Review and GiveAway!!

 I was recently contacted by Blooming Bath to review the Blooming Bath for babies and i must say at first glance i thought to myself, this looks like another needless baby item that will just take up clutter in my house. But after i read some information on their website i decided to give it a try and boy do i wish they would have contacted me sooner!! This little Blooming Bath is amazing and beautiful, it's so soft and fluffy. Gracie just slips and slides when she's in the bath and the Blooming Bath helps me keep control of the slippery situation. Not only can it be used for bath time(which it is intended for) but the girls put it on the floor as a fluffy movie watching mat LOL Also i thought to myself how great this would look on the wall as decor for Gracie's room when she grows to big to use it!!

 

 *Mommy Approved*

Here is a little information from the source-

The Blooming Bath is made of plush, cuddly, yet durable and easily washable materials. Its quick-drying foam-filled, flower-shaped pedals conform to almost any sink, creating a safe, soft and supportive pouch that your precious little one will enjoy -- guaranteed. Blooming Bath’s plush materials cradle your baby unlike any other baby bathtub can. It can be used in the sink or in an existing tub to make bath time easy and fun for everyone.
Blooming Bath creates a luxurious and fun bathing experience for your baby. Moms and dads will love not having to endure bending over a low tub to support a slippery baby at awkward angles.
"When your baby’s so soapy and slippery, and when you’re trying to bend over a tub or keep them in place in the sink, it just takes the enjoyment out of a moment that should be such a fun time," said Blooming Bath Co-Founder Eric Devericks. "When you can take a problem like that and solve it in a way that has moms and babies smiling, it’s great."
Once bath time is over, just squeeze out the excess water and throw Blooming Bath in the dryer. It’s durable, easy to clean and quick drying. The Blooming Bath is available in pink, blue and yellow and sells at bloomingbath.com.

Blooming Bath sales for 39.99$

Oh by the way the Blooming Bath was the brainchild of DAD and former cartoonist for the Seattle Times, Eric Devericks. Blooming Bath is headquartered in Southern California and sells the Blooming Bath online at BloomingBath.com. You can find Blooming Bath's Facebook HERE and Twitter HERE.

Baby Beehaven Swingin' Smart Review and GiveAway!

I love love Love this product!!

 The awesome people over at Baby Beehaven sent me this nifty swing cover called the Swingin' Smart. This past August we threw our oldest daughter Katie's 7th birthday party at the park and my mother wanted to swing Gracie but we didn't want germs to attack her as she was still a little one and the fact those swings look uncomfortable so we wrapped her blanket around the parts of the swing she would be touching for comfort and safety so when I seen this little gold nugget I was ubber excited! We can now easily wrap the swing cover around the swing and we're good to go! It's washing machine friendly, it has little loops in the front to attach toys and comes with a handy matching bag to store it in as well!! 

Here's the real "dirt" on playgrounds—studies show they can be more germ-infested than a public restroom! Like popular shopping cart and high chair covers, this portable bucket seat protector is a must-have for the swingin' set.

• Easy Velcro attachment to bucket seats and chains
• Washable fabric to safeguard against germs.
• Soft padding warms or cools seat
• Reversible, two-sided design
• Rings keep toys close and secure.
• Convenient, re-usable tote for take-along ease and storage

The Swingin' Smart sales for  $39.99 + Shipping

Do NOT attach to playpen, crib, or car seat due to possible risk of entanglement injury. DO NOT LEAVE BABY UNATTENDED. NEVER leave baby unattended in swing at any time. Intended ONLY for use with commercial bucket swings.

Here are some photos of Miss Gracie using her Swingin' Smart in a bucket swing at the park!

ChunksBabyJunk Review and GiveAway!!

I was recently contacted my Heidi the Creator/Owner of ChunksBabyJunk to review her Sippy Cup Strap.

I chose the "Princess Rockstar" Sippy Cup Strap because (duh) my girls are Princesses AND Gracie abuses her drink-ware more then a rockstar abuses their guitars!! I really love this product and i really love the idea of using it on the stroller, when my oldest daughter was a baby  it was beyond annoying having to pick up a thrown sippy cup every few minutes while walking the mall or events then having to find the restroom to wash the sippy cup Or the dreaded fear of her trowing it and hitting a stranger!! 

Heidi is a SAHM with a brilliant product!!

This is a great Sippy Strap for all the sippy cup throwing toddlers out there!

*Mommy Approved*

This durable Sippy Strap is made of a double layer of ribbon, metal D-ring, velcro and a removable suction cup to make it very versatile.

Places to use with the suction cup:
*Certain Tables
*Car Windows
*Plastic High Chair Trays

Places to use without the suction cup:
*Strollers
*Shopping Carts
*Wooden High Chairs
*Car Seats
*Hiking Backpacks

It is 15" long with suction cup attached and the piece that wraps around the sippy cup, bottle or toy is 11" long.

To wash, remove the suction cup, wash by hand and lay flat to dry.

Facts about the Suction Cup:
-It holds up to 25lbs
-It has a small tab to pull to release. So your little one can't pull up the suction cup when the tab is faced away from them.

These are all handmade so I can take custom orders!! They also make Fun & Unique baby shower gifts.

**Suction cup won't stick to all tables**
**Parental supervision required. Do not let baby play with Sippy Strap, it is not a toy**

I'm happy to announce We are giving away one Sippy Cup Strap of your choice to one of our awesome readers!!

Enter through the Rafflecoper and leave me a comment telling me which Sippy Cup Strap you would pick!

The Sweet Magnolia Day Spa and Salon!!

 Professional Business Review

 I few months back i had the opportunity to review a Salon called The Sweet Magnolia Day Spa and Salon. This review would have been posted a lot sooner but due to some unforeseen circumstances i had to delay the review. I was unable to take them up on all the wonderful offers that were bestowed upon me! The owner Tawyna Jenkins is such an amazing women with a heart of gold. The atmosphere in the salon is nothing less then what you would except from a little one horse country town, full of manors and lots of gossip! As most people who know me in person I'm a pretty shy gal, a watcher if you will. I sit back and watch people before i interact with them maybe that is the competitor in me, needing to know what I'm going up against, sounds silly but this chick's gears are always grinding lol... Anyhow Tawyna did my hair and Mandy did my manicure and pedicure. Let's start with my hair shall we. I was a ball of nerves as i had not cut my hair since i was pregnant with my son back in 2009!!! So my hair was pretty long as you can see here in the before shot!

Like i said i was a bag of nerves. The last time i had my hair cut was back in 09 and i cried for days, the stylist had cut 13 inches and i was not happy with my style at all. But Tawyna made me very comfortable it was like having my hair done by my mother. I let her do whatever she wanted. Tawyna cut 16 and 1/2 inches off my head and gave me a great style, she used foils to put 3 different colors in such as brown, reds and blonde. 

Here is the end result and I'm in love with  my new hair!!

Now on to my manicure and pedicure.

Mandy of Nails by Amanda did them and she is awesome at what she does!!!

My poor feet were very neglected i had severe build up of hard skin and my ingrown toe nails were at their peck of super pain, Mandy was gentle but at the same time getting in there and getting the job done!!

 I just need to say i feel that people who do pedicures are way under paid!!!

Yochi Yochi Princess Sakura Squeaky Shoes Review and GiveAway!!

I recently had the opportunity to review these cute little shoes for my Gracie girl from Yochi Yochi called The Princess Sakura Squeaky Shoes!

About the company:
Yochi Yochi is proud to introduce the latest trend from Japan here on American soil. Yochi Yochi shoes are made with a small squeaking diaphragm in the heel of each shoe which causes a small squeak when your child takes a step. The noise is fun, but I think it goes beyond that.
With the squeaking sound of every step, you can find comfort in the fact that your stealthy child will have a hard time getting away from your side without you knowing.
In addition to safety, many doctors have suggested that when children can audibly recognize their footsteps, the sounds can reinforce the natural rhythm of walking and actually help train them to walk.
Yochi Yochi strives to create durable products at great prices because they know how fast your children grow up!

 My Opinion:

Gracie is not walking yet but when she does these shoes will be a great learning tool for her and as long as she keeps them on her feet I'll always hear her coming or... going!

Please keep in mind that the shoes are made of Nylon and the size runs a little on the small size, so make sure you take that into consideration when buying your shoes.

Mommy Approved!

Ha! Gracie loved them so much she thought she was big enough to drive!! 

Silly girl!

Oh!! One of my lucky readers will win one pair of their choice!! Yay!!
