SophistiKidz.com Review

I was contacted by Toby Eisikovic yesterday asking me to post a review about a new website named SophistiKidz, that sells great European kids clothing at below outlet prices. Toby and her husband opened up a website for these tough economic times, to help those that are passionate about European clothing but just don't have all that money to spend. They wanted to provide those people a place to shop at outlet store prices.
Sophistikidz.com took on a unique concept says Toby, you can buy stylish and classic European name brand children's clothing at discounted prices. The merchandise is sifted through to provide you with everlasting high end products.
The great thing is that you can purchase clothing for the current season and not worry as to whether it will fit your child.
They offer the following European designs: Alphabet, Berlingot, Butterscotch, Charabia, Clayeux, Marese, and OOXOO.
I have never seen or heard of European clothing to be quite honest with you, but as I went to the Sophistikidz site, I was honestly impressed. I have a 1 year old daughter and as I was looking at the infant section, I saw the cutest little layette:
It is an Ademar( Marese) design and so adorable! They also have a selection of toddler girls and girls clothing. I love the selection and the prices are very reasonable.


Sophistikidz.com is offering free shipping on all orders over $50, that's great incentive to order your kids some truly beautiful clothing!

Head on over here:

Check out the great selection, order an outfit or two or three and ENJOY!

Hello All!

Good afternoon! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. Mine was OK.
Well, today was my daughter's first day of 2nd Grade and I am anxiously awaiting all the stories that she has to tell us. The day started off eventful. We were waiting a half hour for a bus that never showed up to pick her up. Then we were taking her to school only to see the bus heading toward our house to pick her up, so we turned the car around waiting once again for the bus. It never came down our road, so we took her to school. Unfortunately, she was late on the first day of school which was upsetting. So we talked to the bus driver my daughter was on the list but on a different road! So hopefully we have it all straightened out and she will come home on this bus this afternoon. Overall, we did pretty good this morning getting ready for school. We stuck to our schedule, the baby cooperated and hubby was home (thank goodness). Hubby cut the lawn today, so that saved me a little work this week too.
I am so excited to announce that I will be having some tremendous reviews and giveaways coming up. I have been working hard with some great companies to secure some great products that I know you will love. I can't wait to share this all with you, one review and giveaway will be going live on Monday September 14, and those of you with mothers of little ones are going to want to get in on this one! I wish I could say more about what's coming up, but it will all be worth the wait, I PROMISE!
Talk to you all later!

National Game Night

Good morning all! I just ran across a little tidbit I thought you might enjoy. Do you enjoy playing Monopoly with your family? How about Yahtzee? My family and I enjoy playing UNO together when we get the chance. Well on September 23, which happens to be my oldest daughter's birthday, it will be National Game Night. This is a fun night to maybe order up some pizza, make some popcorn, shut off the TV, and pull out those games that maybe you haven't played in a long time. I think this is a great idea and I plan to do National Game Night with my family too. Hopefully you will also and make National Game Night a weekly event for your family, ENJOY!

More Ramblings

Good evening all. Hope the week has gone good for you!

I have been trying feverishly for the past two days to contact companies and get up some reviews and giveaways for everyone to enjoy and get into. I have been contacted by a couple and hopefully SOON I will have something up. I want so badly to get this blog hoppin' with more followers and readers but as I was told last night my a very nice lady named Leslie from Leslie Loves Veggies blog to be patient (by the way, go check this blog out: http://leslielovesveggies.blogspot.com/
she has the most amazing giveaways, I think I have entered them all!) I emailed her last night wanting some advice on how to get giveaways and followers. I was surprised to hear that she hasn't been at blogging too long herself, yet her blog is wonderful. She told me to hang in there and things will work out. I never thought I would be so passionate and get into something so much as I am in this little blog project of mine. My hubby can't understand it and sometimes it's hard to find someone to talk to about it. This has become so much fun for me to have taught myself how to blog and Twitter, etc. Kinda makes me proud! Thanks Leslie for your advice, I am working hard toward my goal and glad you gave me some inspiration to do so!

Took my oldest daughter to the dentist today to get a teeth cleaning and X Rays. Poor little girl was pretty scared being her first visit and all. She did really awesome though, I kept telling her there was nothing to it, she didn't believe me until it was all over and she had her new toothbrush amongst other goodies. That dentist office was the best I had ever seen. We walked in and they had two TV's set up with Nintendo Game Cubes at each one. Rebecca and I played Pac Man Rally, it was pretty cool. Then while we were waiting for the doctor to see her, she got to watch Hannah Montana, which she loves. Funny thing is..so do I! That show is the greatest. When the doctor came in a pushed her chair back to look at her teeth, there on the ceiling was a TV with Hannah Montana on it. Way too cool! Why didn't they have an office like this when I was a kid and went to the dentist? Even Sara got her first new toothbrush too. She didn't know what to think when I brushed her 3 teeth with it tonight, she was already mad, so I figured make her more mad!

Just got done watching the Detroit Lions win another preseason game. 3-1 in the preseason which doesn't make me feel too confident in the regular season. Oh well, they went 0-16 in the regular season last year after going 4-0 in the preseason. Guess I should be confident, we can go 1-15 now. I root for the Lions because my hubby is a die hard fan, has been since before we were married. We used to go over on Sundays and watch the games with his dad before Dad passed away, now hubby, the girls and I watch the Lions (win or lose) every Sunday and hope for the best (or worst). My team is the Indianapolis Colts (I love Peyton Manning) but I will always root for the home team.

Glad they finally laid Michael Jackson to rest today..now maybe he will get some peace. We all know what happened, now it's time to drop it all and leave the guy alone. Still don't understand why it took so long to bury him?

And lastly, I hope everyone has an awesome and safe Labor Day weekend. For all you mothers, the last weekend of vacation with the kiddos. For me, I will still have little one home. Did I mention, she is starting to walk? Little steps, one a time. Today she stood up on her own for at least 30 seconds. I am sad and excited at the same time because this is the last time I will experience this with my own kids. Oh well....talk to you all soon. Don't eat too many hot dogs, burgers and macaroni salad!

Skin Free Review

I recently had the opportunity to review some great products from Skin Free. These products are really great because they have:

All Natural Ingredients
No Harmful Chemicals or Preservatives
No Fragrance
No Petroleum Products
No Colorants
No Animal Testing
Non-Greasy
No Steroids

Skin Free products were formulated by a pharmacist to be used by people with extremely sensitive skin, allergies or those with disease states which cause their skin to break down.

I was sent the Skin Free Super Moisture Body Balm, which I tried at night after my shower. Now I have slightly sensitive skin, but mine is more dry especially as it is starting to get cooler weather. It made my skin feel so soft and touchable, I was extremely impressed. I have used my share of lotions over the years and where some of them hydrate the skin for a while, a lot of them don't last as long as I would like them to. This Skin Free Super Moisture Body Balm makes your skin feel rejuvenated and the softness lasts. Where most lotion contain 5% oil and 95% water, fragrance,additives and preservatives, Skin Free Super Moisture Body Balm is 100% super rich butters and natural oils. I would highly recommend this lotion to anyone who needs and wants their skin to look and feel soft and smooth.

I also tested the Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Soap & Shampoo Bar. I used this on my face and it really did a wonderful job. I usually use Noxema and where that cleans my face good, it doesn't leave a soft feeling. The Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Soap and Shampoo bar removes oils and breaks down the "protective barrier" that helps keep skin healthy. Naturally moisturizing shea and cocoa butters are added to reduce the tight, dry feeling that you get from other soaps that you may use. The best part is not only is it a soap, but your can use it as a great fragrance-free shampoo! Use it like a regular shampoo, it gives you beautiful, silky, shiny hair with great body and you don't even have to use conditioner!

The last product I tested was one that I am absolutely in LOVE with: the Skin Free Acai Scrub for Sparkling Skin. When I opened the jar, the scent of the product was amazing, but it was how my skin felt after using it that was the truly amazing part. I had never used a Sugar Scrub before and was always curious as to what it was. This product made me skin look and feel soft and it lasted all day! My skin was still soft this morning. It was funny, last night I made my daughter and husband touch my shoulder and was bragging to them about this Sugar Scrub and how rejuvenating it made my skin feel. I would recommend this Skin Free Acai Scrub for Sparking Skin to everyone, I would definitely buy this when I run out, I can't imagine being without it.

In a nutshell, these are truly amazing products. The best part? Skin Free products are affordable and SO effective. Skin Free products are currently available at specific CVS/pharmacy stores on the east coast and also in 2500 Walgreens stores and on walgreens.com
You can also find them all the time on www.skinfree.net
and a broad selection at www.drugstore.com and www.cvs.com
They are offering free shipping on orders $25.00 or more too! Please do yourself and your skin a favor and check out these websites and all of the products that they have to offer. You will be so glad that you did! Special thanks to Skin Free for allowing me to review these wonderful products!
