(Day 2) Virtual Baby Shower ---Belli Skincare

Giveaway has now ENDED.....Congrats CHERYL (Just emailed ya!)
Thanks to everyone that entered.
Let's face it...
Pregnancy is a wonderful and life-changing event but we all know that it can also take a toll on our bodies and SKIN. Our hormones are wacky which causes changes in our appearance and I don't know about you but that "GLOW" didn't seem to last very long. With my last two pregnancies my skin was one of my biggest concerns. It would be oily one day and dry the next. I could NOT get it somewhere in between.

Now if I would have had Belli Skin Care then things would have been much different.
Belli Skin Care is remarkable line of skincare products for women to use while pregnant and making the transition to motherhood.


More about Belli Skin Care:
Giving birth to your baby is so much more than a physical act. It's a life-altering experience, full of emotion, beauty and meaning. For expectant and new mothers, it's also a time of uncertainty, with a changing body, unique skin care issues, a new baby to care for, and heightened safety concerns.
At Belli, we support expectant and new mothers through this changing time by providing soothing, balanced skin products that pamper and protect. Our collections - Belli Pregnancy, Belli Motherhood and Belli Baby – address the specific needs of each stage, with thoughtful attention to the safest formulations.

Belli Pregnancy has set a higher standard for prenatal safety, as the only skin care line in the world that is teratology screened. We search through over 16 million medical research articles in over 5000 international journals, excluding ingredients linked to birth defects or other problems with pregnancy. Belli Motherhood is LactMed screened to avoid ingredients linked to harmful effects during breastfeeding. Belli Baby is screened for xenoestrogens—chemicals which can act like hormones that interfere with normal development of the reproductive system. So no matter which Belli products you use, you can have peace of mind erring on the side of caution.

Belli Skin Care is known as the "world’s safest skincare line" available. (WOW!)
Not only do they make skincare products for moms but they also have a line just for babies, Belli Baby.

Belli Baby offers the purest, most gentle ingredients that nourish and protect delicate skin. Every product is allergy tested and free of artificial dyes, fragrances, phthalates, and other xenoestrogens-- ingredients which can act like hormones and interfere with normal development of the reproductive system.
Remember those aches and pains associated with pregnancy? Well, Belli's Comfort and Relief favorites will help ease discomfort caused by pregnancy, and breastfeeding and prevent and soothe diaper rash for your baby.
Stretch-marks.....NOT A PROBLEM with Belli Skin Care!
OK.... Comfort and Relief, clear skin, stretchmark treatment, calming and pampering bathing products, safe baby care.....
YES all from ONE COMPANY!

Comfortable, Form-Fitting shirts that keep you covered

Comments are now CLOSED and WINNERS will be announced shortly!

*Thanks for entering

I have issues....

Issues with t-shirts (I bet you thought I was gonna unload on you, huh?) LOL!

You see, before my days of being a sahm I NEVER wore t-shirts. I did not like how they fit (big and bulky), I did not like the fact that they always seemed to shrink (Or maybe that was my mad laundry skills?) And when I say SHRINK, I mean they would become shorter but remain big and bulky.

I just never wore t-shirts unless I was wearing one of my hubby's as a nightshirt (Sexy, I know!)

Of course things changed when I became a SAHM. Most days I roll out of bed and face three lovely children all day. DO YOU THINK I FEEL LIKE getting all dolled up? Maybe I could do the tee and jean thing? I mean NO ONE was going to actually see me if I had one of those bulky shirts on right? WRONG! I still can't get used to wearing those big, bulky shirts. They are just not feminine to me.

Well, RibbedTee.com has changed my way of thinking! Their tee's are made using 100% cotton, are lightweight YET thick enough for daily wear and flatter your womanly curves while keeping you comfy throughout the day. The shirts are ribbed and will "hug" or cling to your body (NO MORE BULK!).

For me....these are perfect because I usually wear shirts that are low cut meaning I have to wear some sort of tank top underneath anyway. Now I can throw one of my ribbed tees on and not have to worry about showing too much.

OH! The shirts are also made longer-(have issues with your shirt riding up?? No more worries about bending over and showing the world your back side! RibbedTee will keep you covered!)

Perfect for layering too!!

You can purchase a RibbedTee in the following sizes:

XS, S, M, and L

*Each package contains 2 shirts*

************

Would you like to win your own ribbed tees?

RibbedTee.com has generously offered to give way 10 packages

That's right, 10 of you lovely ladies or men (They also sell Men's tees) can win ribbed tees!

-All you have to do:

*Visit http://www.ribbedtee.com/ , browse around and see what they have to offer.

*Come back here and give me a catchy Marketing TAG-LINE for the tees.

(your catch phrase may just end up on their site!)

**Don't worry, if you can't come up with anything you can also tell me which tee package you would choose and color.

Giveaway will end Wednesday, December 17th and 10 winners will be notified.

**************

Ribbed Tees will be participating in the Heritage for Humanitarian Awards Fashion Show Auction , February 2009 benefitting United States International Mission (USIM), a human trafficking charity.

Create a mini sundae bar (giveaway)

I am gonna wrap up the week by offering up a wonderful giveaway. I just know your kiddos will enjoy making their own ice cream sundaes with this cool kit:

The Sassafras Kids Mini Sundae kit is perfect for your little ice cream lover.

The kit comes with two ice cream bowls, ice cream spoons, paper hats, one ice cream scoop, sprinkles and a rhyming recipe book.

Your kiddo will be whipping up his/her own creations in no time.

This Sundae Kit has become a big hit in my household. My children like to pretend that they work in an ice cream parlor when I let them use it. They have come up with some rockin' ice cream creations like Bubble Gum Blast and Cheerio Surprise.

Some of them aren't THAT bad, either! lol

If you would like to win your own Sassafras Kids Mini Sundae kit just comment below about your favorite ice cream topping.

Bugalug Stay Put accessories (giveaway)

This giveaway is now CLOSED. A winner has been notified

(Check Winner's circle on the sidebar for more info.)

Thanks for entering!

Are you having a hard time getting that hair clip to stay in your little one's fine hair?

Have you just given up on clippies all together just because they keep falling out?

DON'T GIVE UP!

There is a solution.....

Bugalug Baby

Yes, now your little one can wear beautiful hair clips and headbands without them falling out.

Bugalug Baby offers a huge selection of barrettes and headbands with a special "grippy slip" that prevents them from sliding around.

I haven't seen anything like it either.....

Not only will the clips STAY PUT but they are also very cute!

Simple and Trendy designs will have you coming back for more.

We recently had the opportunity to try one of their SUPER CUTE headbands. I love it because it is made completely of ribbon which means no hard plastic scraping my kiddo's head. Lil Princess usually doesn't wear headbands because they hurt her head but with BugALug headband's you will never even notice they are in your hair. (HUGE PLUS!)

The ribbon has a special enclosure at the end which means ANYONE can wear this headband. You can tighten or loosen as needed.

It did end up in my hair the other day and I must say it looked DARN CUTE! haha

I will definately be ordering more for my lil princess.

The hard part is deciding which to buy!!

(maybe all?) lol

Would you like to win Bugalug Baby barrettes?

I have a pair of "JELLYBEAN" clips that need a home.

All you have to do is visit Bugalug Baby and tell me which is your favorite style.

Giveaway will end on Wednesday August 13th and a winner will be announced.

Prima Princessa (Giveaway)

Giveaway is now closed. Winner has been notified! Please check the winner's circle if you did not receive the notification email. THANKS FOR ENTERING!

If you happen to pay me a visit during "KID BEDTIME" on any given night then you probably find me upstairs watching the LIL PRINCESS perform her twirly dance aka ballet moves.

Yep, every night before hopping into the bed she has to stand in the middle of the floor and perfect her ballet twirl complete with hands in the "Twirly" position as she calls it.

She is getting pretty good....I might add.

So when I heard of the Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake dvd I jumped at the chance to review it.

As soon as it arrived I stuck it in the dvd player for LIL PRINCESS and she was thrilled. I can not even describe the look on her face when she saw the little ballerinas come on the screen.

Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake not only tells a story and teaches about theater but will also teach your little one special ballet moves which was a major plus for my ballet lover.

Watching the dvd is like going to the ballet (ONLY MUCH SHORTER @ 40 mins.) which is great for the little ones and their attention spans.

The whole family will love it!

Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake is the creation of two Stay at Home moms (Stephanie Troeller & Mary Kate Mellow) who were tired of not being able to find BALLET dvd's specifically for children. Enough was Enough and they decided to make their own dvd.

What's next? More dvd's of course! I can not wait.

For more information on Prima Princessa products be sure to visit their website :

http://www.primaprincessa.com/

I have one PRIMA PRINCESSA presents SWAN LAKE dvd to give away.

Would you like to win??

Giveaway will close on Tuesday August 12th and a winner will be announced.
