Boogie Wipes Review and Giveaway


I was given the opportunity to do a review on the Boogie Wipes. Being a mother of three boys, I was very excited. Between allergies with my older two boys and a teething toddler, their noses seem to always be running. Boogie Wipes sent me a 30 pack of their wipes and some travel samples to review. This seemed like the best time to test the wipes out since the warmer weather came earlier than expected and the allergy season has jumped on us.
Boogie Wipes are fantastic. Unlike regular tissue that after a bunch of use can turn a nose raw and red, the wipes are by far more sensitive to use on any type of skin. Boogie Wipes prevent chapping from frequent wiping and blowing. They come in Simply Unscented, Great Grape, Original Fresh, and Magic Menthol scents. The package of wipes that we were given were in the Great Grape scent and my boys fully enjoyed that particular scent. They are also recommended by pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to dry tissues. My family loves these wipes and we have already started to spread the word of how amazing these wipes are.  I will highly recommend them to all the parents that I know.

Here’s ‘what’s up’ at Boogie:

Moni's Bows N More Product Review


I was given the opportunity to review this interchangeable bottle cap floral hair clip.  The overall appearance of the hair clip was very colorful and cute. The hair clip on the backside was fully secured on. Now I will say this is an amazing concept for a hair clip. Who really wants to wear the same one? So, why not switch up the center piece of the hair clip.  The center pieces are magnets so they attach on and can be removed very easily. 

Overall, I was very impressed with the customer service over at Moni's Bows N More. They not only did they respond to emails very fast, they also had the product delivered to my home within the week.

Perfectly Posh in PA- Lovey Dovey Pampering Set Review



Stacy from Perfectly Posh in PA gave me the opportunity to review the Lovely Dovey Pampering set that Perfectly Posh carries.  Just from opening up the box, there was this amazing scent that just knocked me off my feet. I was very excited to give this set a try.

The vanilla massage mud is a great product for couples. The mud is creamy and thick.  Everyday is a perfect day for a massage. You can relax your favorite person with this Pink Vanilla Massage Mud or they can use the mud to relax you.  This product stood up to what it said it would, it’s just a little warm and tingly. So… I thought, well… let me try it on my wrist to see how it would react on someone with sensitive skin. Again, it was just a little warm. It was very mild.  This massage mud is the perfect creamy tingly combination. This massage mud's scent was not overwhelming at all.

The bubble love bombinator is out of this world. Talk about a wonderful hot steamy foaming bubbly bath. I broke this up into pieces to use since just a small piece was plenty for me. As soon as the bombinator touches the water it starts foaming and bubbling up.  The label on the box said that the bombinator would help you get in a lovey dovey mood and it is so true. I also found that it made me very relaxed after a very long day.

The Lovey Dovey Soap Set:
There is no way I could pick a favorite of this set. Each soap is so unique and wonderfully scented.  These soaps lather up quickly and nicely. They get the job done plus they leave my skin feeling soft and freshly scented. I fully enjoy having these soaps in my bathroom since they have an amazing scent


Overall, Stacy from Perfectly Posh in PA is an amazing consultant. She has excellent communication with customers and ships out products very fast.  The Love Dovey Pampering Set is very affordable and would also make a great present for a Wedding Shower. For only $29, you really can't go wrong.

Fiesta Kids Boutique- Baby Booties Review

I will fully say that these adorable Fiesta Kids Baby Booties are incredibly adorable. Fiesta Kids Boutique gave me the opportunity to review a pair of their infant girl baby booties. I fully liked the fact that they used zero clue to make the booties.  Each pair is 100% made and embroidered by hand. The booties were also fully lined and there were no open seams.  As they state, all booties have a tri-layer of padding in their soles which adds comfort and still keeps the booties flexible for the baby.  
The pair of booties that I received was mostly brown in color. But, the green polka dot ribbon and flowers on top was a very nice contrast of colors.  Overall, the booties were made extremely well. You could tell that Fiesta Kids Boutique took the time to make an perfect product with out rushing through to make mass quantities like other booties that I have seen.  They also have great customer service. Not only do they respond fast to emails, they also ship their products in a reasonable time.  I will be personally mentioning this business to my many friends and family members that are expecting new babies this year.

Sodastream Review






I will begin by saying how excited I was after learning that I would get to review a Sodastream maker. 
There are a variety of different machines that Sodastream makes. My family was given the opportunity to review their Fountain Jet model starter kit. 
This package includes:

  • Fountain Jet Home Soda Maker
  • 1 60 liter Carbonator
  • 1 Carbonating Bottle
  • 3 SodaMix flavors - each bottle makes 12 liters of soda
  • Sodamix Variety 6 pack
Also included in our package was 8 different Sodamixes and a 3 pack of Mywater flavors. 
 Now for those who do not know what Sodastream machines are, they are a machine that can be used at your very own home to make soda.  Here are some other advantages that the machines give you.
  • The machine takes up by far less space than 2-liters, cans, or other soda bottles
  • By using the machine, you are using far less bottles and this helps our planet by being more Earth friendly
  • Saves money 
The Fountain Jet Sodastream maker was extremely easy to use. All we had to do was fill the carbonating bottle with water, place the bottle into the machine, add the carbonation, and include the flavor of your choice.  My children firmly now believe that my husband and I rock since they found the soda making fully entertaining.  I was beyond shocked at how easy it was to use and how little time the whole process too. 
Now regarding the taste, for our first bottle of soda, we made the diet lemon-lime soda.  The taste was fabulous. I could not tell the difference between that same flavor and popular brands that you purchase at the grocery store like 7up or Sprite.

For those who love soda or carbonated waters, you would love this product like my family does. The Sodastream machines can be found in thousands of retail locations. Here is their website where you can get more information on the many other model types of the machines they make.

AnytimeCostumes.com Review


I was given the opportunity to get the chance to review a costume from AnytimeCostumes.com.  My three sons are huge costume fans from everything from super heroes to other movie characters.  I gave my middle son the costume choice that he would like and he decided on a Ghostbuster costume from the boys TV and Move costume section. PJ happens to be a huge Ghostbusters movie fan. AnytimeCostumes.com offers a huge variety of costumes for affordable prices.  The Ghostbuster costume normally retails for $47.99 and is available for $34.99. PJ was extremely happy with his costume and actually wore it for the full day and also to bed. Unlike other costumes, the costume was well made. Some of the costumes in the past that my sons have worn tend to get runs and rips very easily.  I am happy to report that this costume was made with a decent fabric that I can fully see lasting a long time with my sons. This costume in particular was easy for my son to get on and take off. This especially helps us out since he is a special needs child. He was able to zip up the costume all by himself unlike costumes that have buttons or snaps.

AnytimeCostumes.com offers costumes for infants, toddlers, boys, girls, adults, and a variety of accessories.  So, if you love deals like I do, you should really check out AnytimeCostumes.com for the amazing deals that they offer everyday of the year. Not only do they have amazing prices, they also have great customer service. The Ghostbuster costume was shipped to me in less than two weeks. I will be looking forward to stocking up on a variety of costumes in the future for all three of my sons, husband, and myself. 

Here were some of my favorite boy costumes that AnytimeCostumes.com has to offer on their website.

Violet's Buds Review Part 2


Violet's Buds gave us a second opportunity to review some of their hair accessories that are geared for the older girls.  Once again, the products were extremely well made and very colorful. This floral headband was the perfect size without being too large for her sized head.  The contrasting colors made the hair bloom on the headband stand out very well.  


The fabric headbands were a different type of hair accessory that we were also given the opportunity to review. The headband is nice and simple and jazzes up any casual outfit
This cute fabric flower hair clip is another very simple yet pretty hair accessory.  Loved the contrast between the different fabrics.

Overall, Violet's Buds is an amazing business to purchase from. They make amazing products and ship very fast.
