Summer Birthday Bash! Jovan Jane Review & Giveaway





I love finding beautiful and unique accessories and my tween daughter has inherited my love of fashion. She has tons of headbands, jewelry and hats to match her versatile wardrobe.  Both my daughter and I  love the fashion forward pieces available at Jovan Jane. They have a beautiful collection of handmade headbands, berets, bracelets, ear warmers and more, all of which are available at affordable prices. You can find something for girls and women of all ages at Jovan Jane.




For my review, I picked out the Black elastic band w/ a white lace flower & rhinestones. The white lace is soft and the rhinestones are the perfect embellishment to add a little flare. The stretchy elastic band works better than most headbands and really holds her hair in place, even on windy days.  Gabby loves it and has been wearing it almost every days since it got here. What I love the most about it, is that it is so versatile. It can be worn with casual or dress clothes, and anyone can use it. It fits me, my tween, and even the baby.





The headbands are only one example of so many beautiful items you can find at Jovan Jane. They also offer barrettes, bands, jewelry and even unique pet collars.  All of their pieces are a great way to add a little style to any ensemble. Prices are reasonable and the quality is superior. You aren't going to find accessories like these in the department stores. If you are looking to add a little something extra to your summer wardrobe or want to get a head start for the fall, Jovan Jane is the perfect place to start looking for all your accessories.




One lucky winner is going to receive one item of their choice with a value of $30 or less. To enter, just visit Jovan Jane and tell me another item you love.

Summer Birthday Bash! Go Diego Go! Fiercest Animal Rescue




How can you not love Diego? He is not only cute and fun, but has so many amazing adventures. I love following along and seeing where he will go and what animals he will meet along the way. I think I enjoy the show almost as much as the kids do. Plus it offers the bonus of teaching kids a little bit of Spanish as they go along. This is a great way to give your kids a head start on school. Now you can watch Go Diego Go any time you want on his all new DVD, Fiercest Animal Rescue, which will be released on 7/19/11. The DVD includes the following exciting episodes.


Go, Diego, Go!: Fiercest Animal Rescues Episode Synopses:

Cotton-top Tamarin Cave Rescue

Diego has a surprise for the lonely cotton-top Tamarin singing in a cave.  Alicia and Baby Jaguar have been planting lots of trees for the Tamarins so they can move back to the forest.  When the Bobos accidentally block the cave’s entrance, Diego sets out to find another way out of the cave so he can reunite all the Tamarins.

Pampas and Friends Help The Rescue Center
The Pampas Kittens take a log ride down stream but a storm pushes them towards a waterfall!  Diego and Pampas Cat help get them to safety.

But now, thanks to Navoh, one purse is more than enough. Navoh has a huge selection of beautiful bags in vibrant and unique colors that are just what you need to upgrade your summer wardrobe or get a head start for the fall.






For my review, I  received the Bella in Khaki, and I love it.  This bag is lovely, classy, and feminine.  It is made from leather that is soft and pleasant to the touch, but does not scratch or get damaged easily.  It is enhanced by beautiful bronze embellishments in three rows across the bottom that give it a little extra flair. The inside of the bag offers plenty of compartments and lots of space without being bulky. The interior design is a beautiful flower pattern.  It also comes with a detachable longer strap.  Its versatile enough to use for a casual day with the kids or a night on the town. It has all the quality of the expensive name brands, but at only $99 its way more affordable.





With summer in full swing, a Navoh bag would make a great gift for all those hard to buy for ladies in your life. There is no woman alive who wouldn't appreciate these fun and versatile accessories. The stylish options are endless and the quality is undeniable. In addition to their bags, Navoh also offers totes, clutches, and more.

Getting Ready for Fall with Cat Footwear




With temperatures in the nineties and folks getting ready for Fourth of July barbecues, it might feel like the fall is a million years away.  But trust me, before we know it, kids will be back in school and we will be swapping our flip flops for boots. For me, the fall means that my baby will be born and I will finally be allowed back on my feet. So I will be helping to get our restaurant winterized. That will mean lots of hours on my feet doing hard labor. I am going to need a good pair of high endurance boots to get the job done. But I don't want to sacrifice style for function. At Cat Footwear, you can find quality work boots and shoes for all seasons that are stylish, trendy, and fun, but will still stand up to whatever you and the elements can throw at them.





For my review, I received the beautiful Misa Womens Boot in black. These are elegant full length boots made from only premium leather. They are very sturdy and comfortable, so they are great for when you have to be on your feet all day. But they are also a classic, stylish black boot that you can wear with just about any ensemble. They also have the cutest little side pockets, which are a great place to store some secret treasures as well as a cool embellishment.  Inside you will find a funky checkered pattern which adds just a little bit of flare. They are available in a variety of sizes in both black and  peanut outrage. At only $160 a pair, they are an affordable way to start your fall off in style.





In addition to these classic boots, Cat Footwear also offers a wide range of work shoes, steel tipped shoes and more. They also have boots and shoes for men. All of their shoes and boots are waterproof, puncture resistant,  and insulated. They are the perfect shoes for anyone,  whether you are a mom chasing around your kids or a dad working a sixteen hour shift in the elements. To learn more about Cat Footwear and all they have to offer, you can visit their website. While you're there, be sure to sign up for their newsletter for the chance to win a free pair of shoes. To keep up with future promos,  follow them on face book. For the best in fall fashion and durability, Cat Footwear are the only shoes you are going to need this fall.

Summer Splash! IQ Clean Review & Giveaway



No one wants to clean in the summer, but it has to be done. And if you're going to do it, why not do it with products that are better for your family and the environment. IQ Clean offers cleaning products that are different than other green products. Not only do they work wonders, they are fun to use. You must need to get the starter bottles once, and refill them with their condensed cartridges. Getting my kids to help cleaning wasn't nearly as much of a chore because watching as the cartridges blended with water was exciting and different. And once our IQ cleaning products were ready to go, cleaning the whole house was a breeze.



I was lucky enough to be able to try out several of the products in the IQ Clean line.  The All Purpose Cleaner was amazing. It cut through kitchen grease and even spaghetti sauce cleaned up easily. And it also worked great on counter tops, the stove top, and even the microwave. The bathroom cleaner removed hard water stains and mildew in the bathroom, and made the tile and porcelain shine. Their Glass Cleaner left mirrors and windows sparkling and streak free. When we were done, the whole house looked sparkling and new.



I have always hated cleaning with products loaded with chemicals. I hate the way they smell and I'm afraid of what they might be doing to the health of my family. So I am always on the look out for awesome green cleaning products. There are a lot of them out here but many of them are either extremely expensive or don't work very well.  But IQ Cleaners are different. They are great green products that live up to their promises of a true clean. And they are affordable for the average household. The refill packets not only help to reduce the cost, they also reduce the amount of waste you're creating, making IQ the all around best choice for all your cleaning needs.



One lucky winner will receive a prize pack with a $50 value including the All Purpose, Glass and Bathroom Cleaner starter kits plus a year’s supply of REFill cartridges for each!

Summer Splash! UV Skinz Review & Giveaway




Summer is here, and for me, that means endless summer days at the beach with my children. It also means endless hours of applying sun block to help keep them protected from the harmful rays of the sun. But now, thanks to the UV Skinz, getting that job done will be a little easier because their awesome UV protective clothing provides additional protection you can't get with a regular bathing suit.








Were lucky enough to receive the adorable Pink Popsicle Set for Willow, and she loves it. The design is precious and it is nice and comfortable. It covers up way more than a regular bathing suit and works better with diapers. But its more than just a fashion statement. UV Skinz provide important UV protection that is stronger than any sunblock. Plus there are no nasty chemicals involved. Applying sunblock to just her legs and arms is going to save me time and money this summer, and get us to the beach a lot faster.






In addition to the kids sets, UV Skinz has a full line of other useful sun protective clothing including hats, full body suits, shirts, and more. They even have adult sizes. The colors and designs are stylish and fun and its a great feeling to know you are doing the best to protect your family and yourself from harsh UV rays. Get protected this summer, and get your kids some UK SKinz today. Also be sure to head over to One2Try and see what cool products Rita got to try out.

Woodland Belle Review & Giveaway





Most of my pagan and Wiccan friends love art that is inspired by nature. The leaves of a tree, the petals of a flower, the antlers of a deer. Anyone who practices any earth based religion knows the power that these things can hold and they know how to harness it.  I always love to find jewelry and accessories that capture the beauty of nature and make them into something wearable. At Woodland Belle, they have created a line that will make you feel like a tree nymph in an enchanted forest.







For my review, I picked out the Antique Pewter Stag Antler Hair Pins from the Branch Collection. I wish I had them back in May for Beltane because they are the perfect May Day accessory.  Antlers are always used to represent the Horned God during this magic filled day. And these hair pins would be the perfect way to hold your flower wreaths firmly in place. I love the simple but delicate style of the hair pins. They are made from plastic and are colored to look like pewter and will not bend or break easily. I have very fine hair and most pins won't stay in very well, but these worked perfectly. They are the perfect way to add a touch of nature to your wardrobe every day.




In addition to the hair pins, Woodland Belle also offers a wide range of beautiful necklaces, rings, earrings and more. Find pieces in bronze, sterling silver, and pewter, many of which have a vintage look. All of them are are inspired by nature and elegant in their simplicity. They are perfect for a casual evening or a night filled with elegance. If you are thinking about making a purchase, now would be the perfect time. New Age Mama and Author Laura DeLuca readers are being offered an exclusive discount. Just enter the code NA20 at checkout to get  20% off your order. This offer is valid through 7/13/11.




One very lucky winner is going to receive a beautiful pair of Tiny Twig hair pins which are the perfect way to enhance any magical attire. To enter, you will have to head over to my author blog.
This giveaway will end on 7/18/11 at 12pm. Giveaway is open to the US only. Winner will be selected randomly from all comments received using a random number generator.  Only one set of entries per person/household or IP address is allowed.  Thanks again to Woodland Belle for offering this terrific prize.

The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth Giveaway




Pregnancy is perhaps the one time in a woman’s life when she’s most likely to buy a book. Although there are other pregnancy books out there, The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth offers many benefits that other pregnancy and birth books lack:

  • It’s coauthored by Rallie McAllister, MD, MPH—a physician and also a mom of three sons. Dr. McAllister is a nationally recognized health expert whose nationally syndicated newspaper column, Your Health, appeared for years in more than 30 newspapers in the United States and Canada and was read by more than a million people each week.
  •  It’s filled with the advice of credentialed experts—more than 60 MDs and DOs, rather than the advice of a single author.
  • In addition to being credentialed experts, these women are also mothers—with more than 146 children among them
  • The advice in the book is tips that these Mommy MD Guides use for their own families, not necessarily what they tell their patients. It’s a frightening reality that in no time in history has the gap between what doctors say to their patients and what doctors do for their families been wider.
  • The tips in this book are proven to work. If a tip works for a doctor juggling a busy practice and a hectic home life, it’ll likely work for your readers too.
  • The book talks about enjoying the celebrations of pregnancy, not just surviving its challenges.
  • Instead of lists of dry, boring tips, the advice is presented as easy-to-read, often humorous, anecdotes and stories.
  • While most books shy away from mentioning specific brands, products, and stores, throughout our book we recommend specific brands, product, and stores that our Mommy MD Guides have found to be helpful in their own lives, in our Mommy MD Guide-Recommended Product sidebars. We believe this is tremendously beneficial to our readers, helping to simplify their lives.
  • The book’s tone is calming and reassuring; there’s no fear factor here.
  •  It’s filled with useful information about common complaints and celebrations of pregnancy that most pregnant women will face, not focusing on unusual symptoms and problems that only a few moms-to-be will encountered


One lucky winner is going to receive a copy of this amazing book for free! To enter, just visit The Mommy MD and tell me something your learned. For additional entries you can:

1) Enter the Mother of All Ideas contest on their website
2) Become a fan of  Mommy MD on face book
3) Follow the Mommy MD on twitter


This giveaway will end at midnight on 7/18/11 and is open  to the US only. Only one set of entries per person/household/IP address. The winner will be chosen via a random number generator. Thanks again to Mommy MD  for offering this great prize!

Greenchild Creations Review & Giveaway



Two of my favorite things are hand made soaps and Eco-friendly products.  So how could I not love a company called Greenchild Creations. 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 . But they also have offer some adorable green products like cloth diapers in the cutest designs I have ever seen as well as some other crafty things.





For my review, I received three amazing bars of soap to try out. Two of the scents are good enough to eat. The Berry Pancakes and the Cherries and Chocolate are sweet and tempting creations. Washing with them is an almost sinful indulgence. I also got to try the Baby Bliss. Scented with sweet and gentle Calendula, its safe enough to use on your baby but still a great choice for adults.  All of the soaps lather nicely and leave you with an all over clean feeling. They also leave your skin feeling extra soft and touchable.




 Greenchild Creations offers a variety of handmade soaps in unique and original scents that are unlike anything else I have tried. And at only $10 for any three bars, 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 cloth diapers, adorable pincushions, and more.  A few of these fantastic handmade soaps would make a wonderful gift for the ladies in your life and the diapers are a great choice for baby showers.





One lucky winner is going to receive three bars of soap in the scent of their choice. To enter, just visit Green Child Creations and tell me another product your love.

Summer Splash! My Embroidered Gifts Review & Giveaway




Nothing tells a person you care like a personalized gift. When you take the time to make the gift a one of a kind, the receiver knows you were really thinking about them. It is especially nice to receive personalized items for your children. They will be a keepsake for all their lives. At  My Embroidered Gifts, you can find hundreds of adorable baby gifts, most of which can be embroidered with names, dates, or whatever else you might want added. You can get toys, blankets, and more that both children and parents will treasure.





For our review, we received Lavender Lab Aroma Pillow by Cloud B.  Of course, anything that comes from Cloud B  is going to be top quality.  This little dog is perfect for babies and toddlers. The eyes are embroidered so there are no small pieces that can be a choking hazard. He is extra soft and can be used as a pillow as well as a stuffed animal. It comes with your child's name embroidered in lovely matching calligraphy.  And best of all, it has a little pouch of sweet smelling lavender that will help your little one get to sleep at night.

Summer Splash! Guy & Eva Review & Giveaway


When it comes to jewelry, I try to find things that go along with my own unique  style. I love silver, bronze and gold and I like just a little bit of flare. I like pieces that are unique, but not big and gaudy.  Simple and elegant is always best. At Guy & Eva, I found dozens of lovely earrings, bracelets, rings,  necklaces and more that are perfect for my personal style. But they offer more than just stylish jewelry. They offer the chance to make money and earn rewards by becoming a Guy and Eva Adviser.




Becoming a Guy & Eva adviser is simple and fun. You can earn a minimum of 30% commission but that can grow to more than 50% as your business grows. You will receive your own website to help build your client base. You can earn commission from recruits and you will even be able to process credit card payments for free. If you are not in the market to be an adviser, you can also receive some amazing incentives, like free jewelry and discounts of up to 50%, for hosting a party in your home.






For my review, I received the beautiful Kylie Bracelet. This bracelet is made with real turquoise crystals, so it really shines and sparkles. The bronze tone gives it a little bit of that vintage look, yet at the same time, it is still modern and trendy.  The elastic stretch band makes it adjustable to most wrist sizes, so it will fit women of all shapes and sizes. Its simple and elegant and the perfect way to dress up any outfit this summer.  At only $33, it is an affordable choice for a gift or a summer treat for yourself. For more beautiful samples of Guy & Eva jewelry, be sure to visit Rita at One2Try and see what lovely piece she received to review.

One lucky winner is going to receive the same lovely Kyle Bracelet that I received to review. To enter, please visit Guy & Eva and tell me another piece you love. For additional entries you can do any of the following but you must complete this initial entry first.
