Munchie Mug Review and Giveaway


Little one has been snacking up a storm lately! We have been putting Cheerios and crackers amongst other things in Ziploc bags and bowls for her and she wants to grab the snacks herself. When she does, of course snacks all over the floor. I ran across a cool little invention by the name of Munchie Mugs. These are so neat because they are big size cups that are spill resistant, which I absolutely love! No more Cheerios on the floor or in the car or anywhere. I was so happy to be able to review these cups with my little one. I received a yellow one and a pink one and they are so colorful and bright. I also love the soft fabric closure that is over the top of the cup, safe and soft for little one to put her hand through and pull out her favorite snack, whatever it may be that day. I wish I would have had these Munchie Mugs for my oldest daughter when she was little, they would have been perfect! They also have a secure screw on top and an easy grip handle, so it doesn't fall out of little one's little hands. Munchie Mugs are also easy to clean as they are dishwasher safe, which is so easy for me as I tend to throw everything in the dishwasher all of the time. I really love my Munchie Mugs so does little one. This is definitely one product that every parent of little snackers could definitely use.


ABOUT MUNCHIE MUGS-
Munchie Mugs is the creation of Witty Works, which is a family based business in Sonoma , California. Witty Works is dedicated to the safety and development of children's produ
cts for a better world. They maintain a high standard for manufacturing and design. Witty Works was established with the concept of creating products that are safe and help to simplify life. The idea of the Munchie Mug was originally born in 2004 by the company's president Phil, who was a machinist by trade, an inventor and more importantly a Grandfather. With the help of Mike who is also a Grandfather, a talented engineer and close family friend and Phil's four children and their families. Through a lot of testing and several rebirths, Munchie Mug became the product it is today.


Munchie Mug is 100% made in the USA. Made with durable, tough and recyclable No. 5 polypropylene from American suppliers, the plastic and color are approved for direct food contact. Munchie Mugs retail for $15.95 each and are well worth the money spent. They come in three great colors: blue, pink and yellow. This is one mug that will last a long time.

Orglamix Makeup Review and Giveaway


I love makeup, loving wearing it and love buying it. I am always on the lookout for new brands and colors. I like light browns and tans sometimes I will mix it up with a few pinks and lavenders, but I have always worn light colors. I also love new mineral makeup, it's so easy to apply. That's why I was really excited to come across a great Etsy shop that offered the best of both worlds. A great mineral eye shadow in shiny and shimmering colors. Orglamix is the name and the game is providing women with some beautiful color choices, in easy to apply eye shadows. Orglamix offers artisan crafted 100% pure mineral makeup in exclusive shades and next generation makeup. Not only do they offer great eye colors, but they also have pure mineral face and cheeks makeup as well. I was sent the Pink Chocolate Collection for review. It was a beautiful collection of just the right shades that I love: light pink and browns that made my eyes shimmer. SO easy to apply as well and Orglamix even sells the Eco-brushes used to apply. I love my Pink Chocolate collection! It's a three piece collection that not only lines but defines your eyes and makes them pop and sparkle. So beautiful! I even used a little of this great makeup on my daughter for a little extra sparkle with her princess costume on Halloween! She looked so pretty!

Whish Body Products Review


I love trying new body products, whether it be new body washes, or lotions, I just love to smell nice. Lately, I have been really getting into using sugar scrubs, they smell so nice and make your skin feel so soft and smooth. I was given the opportunity to try one from Whish and I was happy to do so. They have some really wonderful and unique body products. I had never heard of Whish before, but I saw it while looking around online and decided to go check them out. I was given the opportunity to try the Almond Sugar Scrub, which I absolutely love the smell of anything almond. When buying body products, I tend to go for the sweeter smelling stuff, so I was really excited to try this. I have really dry skin, especially in this time of the year. This sugar scrub works like a charm for dry skin because it has a trio of exfoliants, and a triple dose of moisturizers. I also love that it contains Organic Aloe, Organic raspberry Butter and Organic Shea Butter, that definitely makes a difference to me and my skin. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sugar scrub! The almond scent is amazing and the scent lasts a long time on my skin and the softness lasts all day. Whish has so many wonderful and innovative products from the sugar scrubs to body washes to shave cream, they have something for everyone. You want to feel beautiful and smell nice, then you have to check out Whish products.

Reusies Review and Giveaway


We use a TON of plastic sandwich bags in a variety of sizes at my house and they can get quite expensive. We use them for my oldest daughter's lunches and snacks, leftover pizza, toys you name it. I was really excited to run across a little company by the name of Reusies. Reusies are a re-usable alternative to using the countless sandwich and snacks bags that we use almost on a daily basis. Each one Reusies has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags. They are 100% cotton lined, with leak resistant nylon and are secured with velcro enclosures. I received the Party Flower Pink sandwich bag and the Hide and Seek snack bag for review. They are so cute and colorful at first look and my daughter was so excited to be able to use them for her school lunches. I packed her some carrots in one bag and potato chips in the other. She took them to school and when she got some, she said some of her friends were asking her where she got those cute little bags. Of course, her being 7 years old, she didn't remember where I told her they came from but nonetheless, it was cool the kids were asking her. These are so easy to use and all I did was wipe them out with a damp paper towel and let dry in the dish rack for a little bit. Reusies has a wide variety of colors to suit your mood and they are available in the two sizes above. The sandwich bag is very roomy too. I really enjoyed using these and my oldest did too!





At the start of the new school year, the folks at Reusies realized that families were going through an average of 10 plastic bags a day between school and work lunches. We do our best to reuse and recycle in other areas, but there didn't seem to be a solution to the plastic sandwich bags that we were using. They developed Reusies for their waste free quality but many of their customers' primary reason for purchasing their product was to eliminate plastic from coming in direct contact of their food. Reusies was developed by Seattle moms with a passion to do right by their children and hope that the footprint that they leave behind for future generations will be much smaller.



A couple of fast facts about plastic and plastic bags:
*The EPA estimates 500 billion-one trillion plastic bags are used worldwide every year.
*Plastic bags make up over 10% of debris found on US Coastlines.
*Each plastic bag takes over 1,000 years to break down. Plastic bags do not biodegrade.
*By taxing plastic bags with a "plastax" many countries including Ireland and some US cities are reducing consumption.

Do your part and head on over to Reusies: http://www.reusies.com/index.html Check out all they have to offer and more information about this great company. They also have a deal where if you order 3 or More Reusies, you will receive 10% off your order. Just enter code 3ORMORE at the checkout!

Cream Perfume Company Review and Giveaway


I love perfumes, body lotions and all things that smell nice! I came across The Cream Perfume Company on a couple of other blogs that I was on and was very interested in a lot of the things that they had to offer. When I contacted them, they offered to send me some products for review. I was really excited to try their cream perfumes. I am so used to grabbing a bottle off the shelf and spraying it on, I would have never though of a perfume in cream form working just as well. When I received my generous package from The Cream Perfume Company, I was excited to see 3 little containers of their cream perfumes: one in lavender, one in rose and one in my favorite scent, vanilla. There also was 3 tubes of their perfumed body moisturizers: Coconut Vanilla, Lavender and Rose. After my shower that evening, I decided to pair the Lavender Perfumed Moisturizer with the Lavender cream perfume. What a lovely scent, I absolutely love lavender scented anything, but this was really a soft and subtle scent, not too strong, but really nice. My hubby commented on how nice it smelled too and that's really something coming from him, he never comments on women stuff! I use a lot of lotion, but this was really nice. Lightly scented and made my skin feel really soft. I also had a chance to try the Vanilla cream perfume and lotion too and they both were really nice as well. I felt pampered! The moisturizers and made from pure and natural oils and extracts combined with premium French certified organic oils to help your dry, dehydrated, sore, inflamed and damaged skin. This will definitely be wonderful come winter time when my skin gets really dry. I love these moisturizers! I also love that they prevent the signs of aging, I definitely need that! I would definitely recommend these moisturizers and cream perfumes as a gift for your friends and definitely as a gift for yourself!

Fresh Organics Review and Giveaway



I have a one year old little bundle of joy and I have used a lot of different baby baths and lotions on her, some good and some not so good. I recently had the opportunity to try some great baby product from Fresh Organics. They have a really great selection of baby lotions, bath, balm and shampoo and wash for your little ones. They sent me a generous package of all of their products including a travel pack that is perfect to put in your diaper bag and take along with you wherever you go. I tried the Fresh Organics Calming Bubble Bath with little one. I love the scent of this bubble bath, It's all in one, tearless, made with essential oils of lavender and sweet orange. It is not only relaxing for little one, but it was a relaxing experience for me as well. You don't have to use a whole lot of wither to get a lot of bubbles, which little one loves to play in. After little one's bath, I also tried the Velvety Soft Bebee Lotion. This really smells nice too! It's made with organic aloe vera, shea butter, avocado, and jojoba oils that made little one's skin feel really soft and smooth. Lately, with the colder weather nipping at our heels a little bit, little one's skin has been drying out a little. That and taking more baths than normal because she has been eating more solid foods and making huge messes. This lotion takes care of her little sensitive skin and makes it soft and smooth. I also received the Fresh Organics Conditioning Shampoo and Wash which contains white tea and aloe vera. The travel pack that I received has generous bottles of each of these products plus Baby Bottom Balm. I really enjoyed using these products with little one and feel good that all of these products are organic and made with all natural ingredients. They are also made in the USA, which is always a great thing! If you want some really wonderful and great smelling baby products, I urge you to check out Fresh Organic Baby Products, they truly are safe for your baby and mother earth too!
