Happy Goat Soaps Review & Mother's Day Giveaway
I have always been a fan of handmade soaps. I like to know what things are made of before I use them on my body. Plain bars of soap are great for the shower or baths, but I like something a little special for my soap dish. When friends stop by for a visit and use the rest room, I like to make an impression, even with my soaps. Of course, I still want it handmade with all natural ingredients like herbs and essential oils, but I also want something that is adorable and really catches your eye. At Happy Goat Soap, I found exactly what I was looking for.
For my review, I chose the Spicy Lemon Rose soap. I had never seen this particular combination and was curious about how the two unique scents would mingle. It wasn't a disappointment. The lemon and rose compliment each other perfectly and are a real eye opener first thing in the morning. The soap lathers nicely and doesn't leave behind any sticky residue on your skin. But what I love the most about this soap is the pretty flower design. Between the wonderful scent and the beautiful designs, I almost hated to use the soap! But with prices ranging from $4 to $6 I can afford to get more.
If you want a bar of soap that is more than just a way to wash up but also a piece of bathroom decor, you should definitely check out Happy Goat Soap. In addition to the flowers,they has acorns, cows, sea urchins, cats, hearts and more, all of which can be purchased in a variety of fun and unique scents. Their sale record says it all. With almost 800 sales on Etsy, you know this shop is doing something right. If you are looking for a great Mother's Day Gift for someone special, a few bars of this fantastic soap would be a fun and affordable option.
In honor of Mother's Day, one lucky winner is going to receive three soaps of their choice. To enter, just visit Happy Goat Soap and tell me which bar is your favorite.

Oregan Chai Review & Giveaway (3 Winners)
Before I had my baby, I used to stop at a big coffee house and get chai tea at least a few times a week. But since them, its not convenient or affordable to spend a fortune in coffee shops. I have tried a few powered versions, but it just wasn't the same. I thought I was going to have to give up my love of chai tea except for an occasional indulgence. But recently I discovered Oregan Chai, a company that has created a delicious, concentrated chai tea that I can have shipped right to my door anytime I want it, at a price I can afford.
For my review, I received a carton of Oregan Chai Tea Latte Concentrate. Unlike most at home mixes, this concentrate is a liquid. Preparation is easy. Whatever your mug size, you just mix in half Chai Tea and half dairy or non dairy milk and then heat it up. That's it! And each and every time you will get the perfect cup of hot Chai Tea. This Chai Tea tastes just as good, if not better, than anything I ever got at a coffee house. Once summer kicks in, you can also enjoy your Chai Tea cold. Its a wonderful indulgence that is fast and easy to prepare, tastes great, and won't cost a fortune.
Oregan Chai is available in several fantastic varieties including original, decaf, sugar free, vanilla, peppermint and more. One 5oz carton runs around $5.50 and makes two gallons of fresh, delicious tea. I used to spend that much on one cup! You can also save even more money by buying in bulk. Six and twelve packs are available. In addition to the concentrates, they also offer mixes that are perfect for days when you're on the go. If you are craving something full of flavor that will warm you inside and out, give Oregan Chai a try. Also make sure to visit their face book page. One lucky fan is going to win a Kindle and who knows, it might be you:)

Spongeables Body Wash in a Spondge Review & Giveaway
I love body wash, but there have been a thousand times when I forgot to bring my sponge or buffer into the shower with me and then it doesn't really do any good. Or vice versa-I have the sponge but only a bar of soap that doesn't lather up like body wash or shower gel. Well now, thanks to the amazing Spongeables, you can have your sponge and body wash all in one, so you are always prepared whether you're at home or traveling.
For my review, I received both a regular and travel size Spongeables. These amazing products are like four shower tools all in one. They cleanse, exfoliates, massage and moisturize. They are chock full of shea butter and vitamin C to help keep your skin healthy and provide all day softness. The scent I tried is lavender nectar, and as everyone knows by now, lavender is my favorite scent because of its healing and relaxing qualities. Showering with the Spongeable is like being wrapped in a blanket of sweet smelling suds. It leaves me feeling clean and refreshed. Its perfect for a nighttime shower to help you get to sleep. I love it so much, I am saving the travel size they sent me to take with me to the hospital when I have my baby. Its just the right size and will give me a little bit of luxury on the go.
The lavender nectar is only one example of the different varieties of Spongeables available. They also offer White Rose and Pink Grapefruit to name just a few. They also have some adorable holiday themed shapes like bunnies for Easter or reindeer for Christmas. Believe it or not, there are even Spongeables for your dogs!

Loving Pets Review & Giveaway
In our house, our pets are part of the family. We have two cats and one Golden Retriever, and I enjoy finding interesting new products for them just as much as I enjoy getting toys for my kids. Recently I discovered a great little shop called Loving Pets, and they have some really cool items for our four legged friends. From fancy bowls to tasty all natural treats, you can find lots of cool things for your dog or cat at Loving Pets.
For our review, we received pair of Bella Bowls in the small size. This size was just right for our cats. The inside of the bowl is stainless steel, making them easy to clean either by hand or in the dishwasher. The outside is decorated with adorable paw prints and bones. But what makes these pet bowls really unique is the removable rubber base, which prevents spills and eliminates noise. These adorable bowls are available in a variety of colors and come in sizes ranging from small to x-large. So matter what what breed you have, you can get just the right bowl for you.
I also had the opportunity to try the Barksters Dog treats and they came at just the right time. Our dog, Amber, was just at the vet a few weeks ago, and we got yelled out for allowing her to gain too much weight. She was put on a strict diet and is allowed minimal treats. This makes me feel bad because when she's a good girl, she deserves a little reward. That's where the Barksters come in. They are only 12 calories each and are made with 100% natural ingredients including Sweet Potatoes and Beef Krisps. While they are a little smaller than the treats she was used to, they are a great way for her to get one or two treats a day without interfering with her diet. She loved them, and I love knowing they are a more natural alternative.The Bella Bowls and Barksters are only a few examples of the wonderful products you can find at Loving Pets. They also have gourmet meat sticks, wraps, biscuits, canisters, dishes, chew toys and more. To find a store near you that sells these amazing products, you can check their store locator. While you're visiting, be sure to sign up for their newsletter to receive special offer and discounts.
And now for the giveaway! One lucky winner is going to a Bella Bowl in the size and color of their choice (depending on availability) and a bag of Barksters. To enter, just visit Loving Pets and tell me something your four legged friends would love to have. For additional entries, you can do any of the following, but you must complete this initial entry first. Any entries that do not follow these guidelines will be deleted.

Dragonfly Soaps Review & Mother's Day Giveaway
Two of my favorite things are hand made soap and dragonflies. So how could I not love a company called Dragonfly Soaps. They created a line of lovely handmade soaps that are available in a wide array of scents that smell great and leave your skin feeling soft and clean. All their soaps are made with only natural ingredients like essential oils . Whether you prefer flowery, spicy, or earthy scents, you can find them all at Dragonfly Soaps.
For my review, I received two amazing bars of soap to try out. The first is One Summer Night. This one is a very earthy, spicy soap. It combines some of favorite scents, like sandalwood, patchouli and amber. The combination is magical and will make your skin tingle. You'll feel like you are really enveloped in the warmth of a summer night. The second soap I tried was the Chai, and the sweet scent is like walking into a fancy coffee house. You'll want to breathe in the exotic scent of vanilla tinged with black pepper, clove and cinnamon. Both of the soaps lather nicely and leave you with an all over clean feeling.
DragonflySoaps offers handmade soaps in unique and original scents that are unlike anything else I have tried. And at only around $5 for a large bar, they are an affordable indulgence. If you are not into scented soaps, but still crave that all natural feeling you get from handmade products, they also have an unscented variety available and some soaps that are perfect for babies. With Mother's Day coming up, a few of these fantastic handmade soaps would make a wonderful gift for the ladies in your life.
In honor of Mother's day, one lucky winner is going to receive three bars of soap in the scents of their choice. To enter, just visit Dragonfly Soaps and tell me one scent you would pick if you were the lucky winner.

Surya Brasil Color Fixation Review
I like long hair. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I just can't imagine cutting my hair off. But my hair has a lot of issues. For years I was highlighting it, which caused a lot of damage. Now I am back to my natural color, but because those pesky grays are starting to sneak in, I do have to color it. My hair is also very fine so the ends break easily and it gets tangled all the time. With all these issues, its important for me to find a good shampoo. Store brought brands just won't cut it for me. I need something a little better. But I don't want to spend a fortune either. I recently discovered a great company called Surya Brasil that makes salon quality hair care products for a reasonable price, and as an added bonus they are made with certified organic ingredients.
For my review, I received the Color Fixation Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask. This combo is specifically designed for color treated hair. After just a few shampoos, I really saw a difference. Its like my hair has new life. It looks so much thicker and healthier, its actually amazing. Tangles aren't a problem either. This is one of the only conditioners I have ever tried that I can get a comb through my hair with no hassle after using it. Both the shampoo and the conditioner have a light pleasant papaya scent that is not overbearing. It won't cancel out your favorite perfume. The shampoo lathers nicely and both rinse quickly leaving behind no sticky residue. The mask didn't feel as heavy as some other brands I have tried and my hair has never felt so healthy since using it. But the best part about these products is that they are made with only organic ingredients. It has no harsh preservatives, synthetic fragrances or artificial colors.
Of course, Surya Brasil has plenty of other varieties of shampoos for all different hair types including their Organics Fruits and Sapien Men varieties. All of their products are made with only 100% organic ingredients. So whether you're curly and unruly or maybe have an oil problem, you can find just the right fit for you. To learn more about this great company and all they have to offer, you can visit their website. If you want beautiful hair that shines and is full of body, then Surya Brasil is the way to go!

Clean Well Hand Sanitizer Review
I have had a dilemma for a while when it comes to my kids and keeping them clean. When we are out, they are always putting their hands on everything and I constantly worry about germs. I don't want them to get sick, get pink eye, or who knows what else. I used to carry around some of the soapless hand sanitizers, but then I heard that they were making kids sick if they put their hands in their mouth. At the time, my son was still sucking his fingers and this freaked me out. So what's a germ-a-phobe mom supposed to do? Find an all natural alternative, of course. And that is exactly what I did. I found Clean Well. They created a line of all natural hand sanitizers that are safe for little fingers.
For my review, I received a few Clean Well products to try out, and I am in love. They have several convenient options including hand wipes and spray bottles. Both are alcohol free, safe for kids and leave hands feeling soft, instead of dried out like some other hand sanitizers. They have been clinically proven to kill over 99% of germs, but they do it without the harsh chemicals used by other companies. Prices are very reasonable, starting as low as $2.99 for a 1 oz spray that will last for 225 applications. Plus, they are cruelty free! From this point on, I know I will be carrying around a bottle of Clean Well where ever I go.
In addition to their hand sanitizers, Clean Well also offers a line of hand soaps that provide the same germ killing action. If you would like to learn more about these terrific products, you can visit their website. While you're there, check out their store locator to find a store near you that carries them or just shop online. To keep up with the latest promotions, be sure to follow them on twitter or become their fan on face book. Stay germ free and all natural and try out Clean Well today.

Little Toader Story Book PJS Review & Giveaway
Every night there are two things that are part of our bedtime ritual. Getting into a comfortable pair of jammies and reading a bed time story. At Little Toader, they have come up with the unique idea of combining these two things into one exciting package. You can get the cutest pair of unisex pajamas and each pair comes with its own story book. The really cool thing about them is that the pictures on the pajamas, actually tell the same story as the book.
We received a pair of Story Book PJs to review, and both Willow and I love them. They are the perfect weight for a cool spring night because they still have the feet, but aren't as heavy as other pajamas. They are made from extra soft cotton and the feet even had some tread on the toes to prevent slipping. The design is absolutely adorable. There are trees, lions and purple hippos, and if you read the story that comes with them, you'll see that they are all part of the story. Willow thought it was amazing when I pointed out that the characters from her book were on her PJ's, and even my older kids thought it was pretty cool.
The story book that comes with the PJs is made from sturdy cardboard so little fingers won't be able to rip the pages. The pictures are fun and brightly illustrated and the story is the enchanting tale of a little girl going on an adventure in dreamland. If you know any little ones with a birthday coming up or maybe a mom with a baby on the way, Story Book PJs would make an excellent gift because they are getting two gifts in one--a functional pair of adorable pajamas and a cute story book.

Little Toader Appeteethers Review & Giveaway
Willow is teething. We all know how that can be. Fussiness, constant puddles of drool. But as difficult as all this is for parents, just think about what its like for your baby. The pediatrician told me that teething is one of the most painful things we ever experience and that we're lucky we can't remember it. I want to do whatever I can to ease this difficult time for my little one. And if I can do it in a way that is fun for her and the rest of my family, that is just a bonus. With the adorable Chomin' Chicken Wing and Baby-Q Rib Teethers from Little Toader, babies can chew on it and play with it too.
For our review, I choose the Baby-Q Rib because ribs are Willow's daddy's favorite. She seemed to recognize it right away when I handed it to her, she smiled and said "num nums". Then she started chewing on it and realized what it was. She thought it was pretty cool and it definitely is better than her trying to chew on my fingers now that she already has a few teeth. The best part about this teether is that long after my daughter is past the teething phase, she can still use it as play food. She has already been tossing it on her frying pan in her kitchen set in between bites.
In addition to being a fun and soothing teething accessory, the Appeteethers are also safe. They are completely non-toxic, BPA, PVC, and lead free. There are no small pieces that can detach so there is no worry about choking hazards. There is no strange liquid substance inside that might rupture in her mouth if she bites too hard. The one and only problem I am having with this teething toy is that the dog keeps trying to steal it-LOL:)
One lucky winner will receive either the Chomin' Chicken Wing or the Baby-Q Rib teether for their own little one. To enter, just visit Little Toader and tell me another item you love.
