Wholesale Halloween Costumes~Review

It's that time of year again! Time to start decorating for Halloween and looking for costumes.  I have always loved Halloween but I really get into it now that I have a daughter.  Last year, my daughter insisted on being Minnie Mouse.  Only problem?  I could not find a costume in her size anywhere!  I ended up driving an hour to a toy store after I called every store near us.  I knew that this year I was going order her costume online.  

WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com has a huge selection of Halloween costumes for all ages.  I had such a hard time deciding on what costume to get my daughter. She sat on my lap and after a long chat, she chose the Little Red Riding Hood costume.  I think she chose it because her MeMaw calls her Little Red.  

The costume was really cute!  It was a little wrinkled but that is because she made me put it on her as soon as I got it came in the mail.  It was easy to get on and off, which is key with a newly potty trained child.  Last year, she complained the whole time we were trick or treating that her costume was itchy.  This one didn't seem to bother her at all.  My only issue was the size.  It said it would fit most 2t-4t girls.  My daughter is only 2t but it seemed too short.  She would definitely have to wear something under it.  Overall, it is a great pick for Halloween!  We even liked it so much that we bought a Tinkerbell costume for her too.

I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

Giant Microbes~Review

My daughter is obsessed with germs lately.  Even since she saw the episode about them on Yo Gabba Gabba, I cannot get her to stop worrying about it.  So when I first saw Giant Microbes I thought that it may help her understand.  Giant Microbes are plush giant sized germs, cells and more!  My daughter and I sat down in front of the computer and looked through their online store.  We talked all about germs but she ended up choosing the Krill.

She insists on calling it her Shrimp.  But I think that it did help her understand that there are really small things everywhere we cannot see.  I think that these would be great for teaching in everywhere from preschool to high school biology class.  They come in Critters, Diseases, Aquatics, and more.

Roaring Springs Paper Company~Review

My husband uses a ton of paper for work. I tried to get him to type everything on his computer but he thinks it's rude to be typing in a meeting(I agree).  We had talked about getting him some recycled paper but they only kind I knew of was from my school days.  Anyone else remember that weird, gray, flimsy paper from middle school?  It was so dark that it made it hard to see pencil on it.  When I received products from Roaring Springs Paper Company, I was surprised how different it was to the "normal" paper!

What makes Roaring Springs Paper Company different than other paper companies?:

"Roaring Spring supplies products produced with different sustainable papers. These included recycled papers, sugarcane fiber paper, and poo papers. 

Recycled Papers: Roaring Spring uses papers made from post-consumer waste.  Post-consumer waste, if not recycled, would typically end in a landfill.  Most of the Roaring Spring recycled items contain a minimum of 30% PC waste.  Recycled paper comes in both white and colored versions. 

Sugarcane Fiber Paper: Sugarcane fiber is waste material from the sugarcane refining process.  This waste material is then used as pulp tp produce fine paper.  The result is a smooth, bright sheet produced at very green paper mills.  We produce sugarcane items in both white and canary options. 

Poo Paper: Poo paper is the ultimate recycled product!  Poo paper uses the fiber that is recovered from actual animal poo.  Odorless and clean, we carry poo paper from elephants, cows, horses and donkey."

I received:

~Three Genesis Notebooks
~Two Landscape Wide Pads
~Three Smaller Colored Landscape Wide Pads

The notebooks would be great for any school work. It has both pockets and dividers to help keep you organized.  The come in one, three and five subjects so you can buy just what you need!  The wide landscape pads were my favorite.  I am always writing my grocery list on little slips on paper that quickly become unreadable.  The wide pads are perfect!  They are large enough for me to even separtate my list into sections(dairy, meat, household, etc.).  There is even enough room to write down which coupons I have.  The smaller landscape pads were great for card night at our house.  My husband and I just started playing Gin again and this is perfect for keeping score for multiple games.  My husband has already took half of everything to work.  I love that he can use as mcuh paper as he needs without doing much damage to the enviroment.

I really loved and wished I had more to use when I was on vacation in Jamaica! The pool with the swim up bar was so chlorinated, for obvious reasons that you really never want to think about while swimming or sitting near people.   The little packet was easy to include in my travel bag and made me feel like my blonde hair was healthy after using it.  I was a little hesitant to use it at first because I was in another country and going to a stylist was out of the question.  However, I really wanted to take care of my natural blonde locks and gave it a try! Look below for proof that my hair did not change a strange color or was stained - eek! PS.  The sun totally makes it blonder, which I love :)

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Volumizing Shampoo

One thing I either have or do not have is volume.  Some days it is flat as a pancake, while others it is a mess! This modern volumizing shampoo is designed to remove residue and product styling build-up, without stripping hair or fading color to provide an optimum environment for thicker hair. It also fights free radicals that damage and weaken hair. The results are thicker, healthier, more beautiful hair.  My friend who is a hairdresser commented on my hair last time she was cutting it.  I never knew that hair could feel that different on people, just thought it felt like hair!  She described it as the difference between cutting tissue paper to cardstock.  Because I have a head full of thick blonde hair she said mine was definitely not tissue paper!  If you want you hairdresser to notice this chance and comment on how healthy and volumized your hair is try Shielo VOLUME voluminizing shampoo!

Victorian Initial Necklace

I love jewelry, especially if it can be worn dressed up or down.  This necklace did exactly that!  It came in a cute little box that had an elastic bow to decorate it.  The necklace itself had a thick stamped "T" and a little pearl attached to it.  The sterling silver wax seal initial charm measures 3/4" in diameter and comes on an 18" sterling silver chain with a freshwater pearl. The antiqued letter was cute and is set in sterling silver.  This would be a great present for someone who loves jewelery or can even be used as bridesmaids gifts! As a big time promoter of handmade products, this is one I recommended.  Be sure to visit the website for more pictures and other deigns from Lauren Nicole Gifts!  Like the shop on Facebook for special ideas/offers too!

Little Cosmetics Pretend Makeup~Review and Giveaway

Over the last month, my two and a half year old has been driving me crazy about make-up.  I started looking everywhere for makeup for toddlers.  The only thing I found was little lip glosses that my daughter promptly got all over the place.  When I saw Little Cosmetics I knew I found the answer!

About Little Cosmetics:

"Little Cosmetics is pretend makeup that doesn't look pretend! It looks just like real makeup and is perfect for toddlers and little girls. Little Cosmetics looks very realistic, but it doesn't show up on skin. Pretend play at its best - all the imagination and no mess! 

Little Cosmetics is the perfect solution for the little girl that always wants to use mom’s make-up, but won’t be fooled by fake plastic make-up. And the perfect choice for mom’s that want to keep their little girls mess-free."

I was able to try The Essential Set.  It includes:

~One Pressed Powder Compact
~One Iridescent Lip Gloss
~One Pink Blush Compact
~One Glitter Shadow Pot
~One Eye Shadow Palette
~Makeup Brush Set
~One Pink Organza Carrying Bag

This is honestly one of the best toys I have ever gave my daughter!  She plays with it every single day.  I was expecting it to be plastic but all the "makeup" was really soft and lifelike.  The lip gloss has a real working ball roller to it feels like you are really putting some on.  Everyone is our family has got their makeup done by my daughter, even the poor dogs!  My favorite part was that there is no mess!  She can do her makeup over and over again without me having to use a bunch of baby wipes.  The brush set was much better quality than I expected too.  They can withstand a lot of rough play.  The compact comes in three colors so you can choice the one that matches your child's skin tone. I would recommend Little Cosmetics to anyone who knows a little girl!

Playing with her compact

Eye shadow goes on your cheeks, right?

The makeup kits come in three different sizes and would be an excellent gift!

Scentsy~Review and Giveaway

So pretty much everyone has heard of Scentsy by now.  But I didn't know what all the hype was about.  What makes their warmers so great?  Well after I tried some Scentsy products, I understood!  Ashley Eckard filled me in on Scentsy:

"Scentsy Launched July 1st 2004 and is a DSA approved company. What makes Scentsy Fragrance stand out from other candle companies is their wickless warmer that melts the wax to release the aroma using low wattage bulbs. The wax will not burn you and does not release harmful toxins like traditional wick candles. We offer a wide array of scented products from Scented Paks, scent circles, scented foam sanitizers, along with others and a newer collection called the Layers line which includes; Body wash, washer whiffs, perfume and more. 

Scentsy Fragrance also offers ways to save on your favorite products and is constantly releasing new scents and warmers each month and seasonal scents for fall/winter and spring/summer. Our scent and warmer of the month are always 10% off for that month! Another fantastic way to save is our combine a save deals which are always available even on the website. 

This month in particular is a great time to stock up on your favorites, as Scentsy Fragrance is transitioning into the fall/winter collection we are discontinuing some current scents this month (August 2012). Almost all products and some combine and save deals are 10% off this month!The savings don’t end there! When you host a qualifying party you, the hostess, earns rewards. For example when a party totals in 150+ in sales the hostess earns 10% free product on the sales and 1 ½ priced item. The bigger the total sales the bigger the rewards! Not local to me, no worries! I’ll send you a kit with all current scents and catalogs along with tools to get your party pumped!"

I tried the:


~Whoot Full-Size Scentsy Warmer Premium
~Three Scentsy bars- Baked Apple Pie, Clean Linen and Beach
~Enchanted Mist Layers Body Spray

I LOVE my warmer!  It is really cute!  My daughter even named it Mr. Owl.  My husband hates the smell of all cleaning products so I turn it on while cleaning.  The scents last a long time even after it's off.  I have been using mine everyday and plan on using it for a long time!   The Baked Apple Pie smells exactly like it's name.  The only problem is that I keep wanting pie!  The Beach scent also smells like it's name.  It combines all the best scents at the beach into one bar.  My favorite was the Clean Breeze.  It smells like clean laundry that was high out to dry outside. I am definitely buying more when I run out!  The Enchanted Mist Layers Body Spray was a pleasant surprise.  I am not a huge perfume girl but this spray is perfect for me.  It is a great scent that isn't too strong.  My husband asked me why I have been smelling so great lately.  Overall, I have been changed into a lifelong Scentsy fan!

Vizardz Night Light~Review and Giveaway

My brother is one of those guys that it is impossible to buy a gift for.  He has everything that he would want and I really wanted to get him something different for his upcoming wedding.  Then I discovered Vizards and I knew I had a winner! Here is a little about Vizardz from their website: 

"Vizardz is breaking new ground in the field of photography by applying the most advanced 3D technology to what has traditionally been a two-dimensional medium. The result is an innovative, multi-dimensional image made tangible through 3D personal sculptures and 2.5D pictures."

You can turn any picture into a personalized 2.5D:

Night Lights

Light Boxes

Ornaments

Or even a 3D sculpture!

I chose to make a night light of my brother and his soon-to-be wife. When you first look at it it is hard to see what it will look like when it is on.  I was surprised how sturdy the night light was.  I thought it would be really easy to break but it seems like it will last a life time.  Also, if you feel like switching out the picture you can buy extra inserts.  I think these would make excellent gifts!  I know my mom would love ornaments of all her grandkids, and also her dogs!  I know that any new mom would love a light box of her newborn.  This year for Christmas I plan on buying a few items as presents!

Rockin Green Soap~Review and Giveaway

I recently was able to try Rockin Green Soap, an eco-friendly line of laundry detergent.  Here is a little more about Rockin Green straight from their website:

"Rockin’ Green is an award-winning manufacturer of eco-friendly cleaning products designed to make cleaning easier and greener. Most well-known for their clean-rinsing laundry detergent formulated for use on all fabrics and especially useful on cloth diapers, Rockin’ Green produces detergents for hard, soft and normal water conditions (known as Hard, Soft and Classic Rock varieties). 

Rockin’ Green also carries Funk Rock, a first-of-its kind natural ammonia bouncer, and Melody, an odor-neutralizer and air freshener home spray. With the exception of Funk Rock, all products come in seven natural scents, such as Mighty Mighty Marshmallow, Earth Wind & Orchids, Rage Against the Raspberry, and Bare Naked Babies (unscented). 

Rockin’ Green was founded in 2009 by Kim Webb, an avid cloth diapering mom who desired a better way to clean cloth diapers and treat her kid’s sensitive skin. More information can be found at www.RockinGreenSoap.com."

This was the first time I have ever tried an eco-friendly detergent.  I was not disappointed!  I tried the Smashing Watermelon scent and was a little worried that the scent would be too strong.  It only left a really light fruity smell.  My husband loves it and says that this is the only detergent he wants to use now!  The bag is pretty big and you only use one to two tablespoons per load.  This bag will last a long time, about 45-90 loads! I really like that it is safe enough for baby diapers.  My daughter has senstive skin so I really have ot watch what kind of detergent I buy.  It really got all our clothes clean, even the grossest of the gross!  My only issue was that it didn't come with a scoop!  We have to go to the laundry mat so if I didn't check before we left, I would have had no way to measure the detergent.  But besides that, I highly recommend it!

Hicural-Stop those annoying hiccups!~Review

So you have the hiccups, now what?  You can try one of the many "cures" that include:

• Holding your breath
• Eating peanut butter
• Chugging water
• Laying flat on your back
• Gargle

But do any of these really work? I never really thought so.  I used to get the hiccups all the time in high school for some reason and I could never cure them.  When I had the chance to try Hicural I figured it wouldn't work also.  What exactly is Hicural?

"Hicural has developed and now manufactures the first ever comprehensive tool to stop hiccups on the market today."

All I needed to do was get the hiccups to test it out. So I waited. And waited some more.  Then last night it happened! I got the hiccups and got to see if Hicural really did work.  It did!  Plus it was really simple to use.

Step one:
Hold the Hicural with tab facing inward toward mouth.

Step two: Place Hicural in mouth until it reaches the outer corners.  Gently bite down and slowly drink a cup of water.

Super easy and it works!  I really like that it comes in a little tube.  That way you can wash in after you used it and put it back in the tube and take it with you.  While I do not wish to get the hiccups, now I have a way to get rid of them fast!

Starlooks: Starbox~Review

I am a huge fan of monthly beauty boxes.  My only issue is that most of the time the products are sample sized.  And sometimes they can only be used once.  It is hard to get an idea if it is a product that you would use regularly.

Starbox is a new monthly subscription box from Starlooks that includes 3-4 FULL SIZED beauty products! For only $15 a month you will receive over $35 worth of full sized beauty products.  If you like one of the products you got, you can go on their website and purchase it.  Also, you can save by referring your friends to Starbox!  For every person you refer, you will receive 100 Starbox Points.  100 points equals $10 so that savings could really add up!

My box was the “LE SANG BLEU” by fashion designer to the Stars, Lauren Bradley!  It contained Pink Petal Rose Lip Gloss and Sculpture Infinity Cream Liner.  I have never used a cream eye liner before so I was a little nervous about trying it.  But I really liked it!  It was really easy to apply and makes getting that smoky eye look really simple.  The lip gloss was my favorite.  It was a really light pink and went on smoothly.  I am not a big lipstick wearer so this is perfect for me.  My only problem was that my box was missing the eye liner brush that was supposed to come with it.  I do have another liner brush so I used that instead.

Little Cleaning Box~Review and Giveaway!

Over the last few months I have weeded out all unnatural cleaning products in my house.  No more chemicals or harsh smells in my house now!  I got the chance to try the Little Cleaning Box a few weeks ago.    When I first made the switch I was nervous that they wouldn't actually clean.  This is a perfect way to try out green household products to see if they really do work.  My box included:

~Modern Mermaid-All Purpose and Glass Cleaner
~Mrs. Meyers Dish Soap in Lavender, Basil, Geranium, and ~Lemon Verbena scents
~Grab Green Laundry Detergent
~Skoy Cloth
~Just Bee Dryer Bag

The Modern Mermaid All Purpose and Glass Cleaner really does what it claims. I cleaned off our end table that is perpetually sticky from our daughter's juice boxes.  I also used it to clean off the windows behind our couch.  Anyone that knows what a dog's nose prints can do to a window knows how hard it is to clean.  It cleaned off the funk with no issues!  This is just as good as any non-green cleaner out there.




Up until recently, I only used the dishwasher to do our dishes.  But lately I have been washing my daughter's cup by hand.  So Mrs. Meyers Dish Soap was the first green dish soap I have tried.  I was curious about the different smells, fearing they might be overpowering.  But I found the scents mild and soothing.  The dish soap really works and it seemed like I didn't have to use that much soap.  

The Grab Green Laundry Detergent smells downright fantastic. I have never used a pod laundry detergent before and I really liked it.  You don't have to measure; just pop one in with the dirty clothes.  Really easy!  It got all our clothes clean with using any harsh chemicals. 






The Skoy cloth was my favorite thing I tried!  They are reuseable paper towels that can last for a full year!  You can throw it in the dishwasher or micromave to clean and disinfect it.  After a few washes they are better used as cleaning cloth or rag.  I absolutely hate using paper towels and this is a great, equally effective alternative.  I plan of buying a lot more of these!


I have never even heard of natural dryer bags before.  But man was I missing something!  These leave your laundry with a light but wonderful scent.  Each bags lasts up to ten loads of laundry.


The box is only $10 and is well worth it.  Unlike other higher priced boxes, this one is really a great value.  You get eight samples and they are samples you can use more then once!  If you find a product that you really love, you can order the full sized products on their website with free shipping.

Leslie Reichert is offering a free PDF copy of her book, The Joy of Green Cleaning, to anyone who purchases their own Little Cleaning Box!  Just let me know in a comment or email(britibee@gmail.com) that you made a purchase and I will have them send you the book!  

You can buy it here.
