Mama Mio Body and Skin Care (and a great Giveaway!)

Mommies, have I got a recommendation for you!  I really think you are going to love thisstuff!  I recently got my hands onbottles of Mama Mio Omega Body Buff and Skin Tight. I was excited to try them but I didn’t anticipate them becoming my favorite new skin care products.

First, I have to tell you about the Omega Body Buffscrub.  This stuff goes on right beforeyou get in the shower.  You rub itanywhere your skin could use some softening and it’s gentle enough to use onyour face too.  I make sure to scrub my hands and feet once I am done scrubbing the rest of me and my hands and feet have become so super soft!

I couldn’t get over thescent!  This stuff smells A-MAZING and I almost felt as if I had been transported to a spa (as opposed to my shower that really needed cleaning) as I smoothed it on.  That may sound silly but I promise this stuffsmells fantastic!  It’s a little sad thatyou have to wash the smell of this stuff off in the shower but you won’t mindonce you feel how silky smooth your skin is afterwards (a little bit of the scent remains).  It only took me using it once and I knew thiswas my new favorite, must have, body (and face) scrub!  I could not recommendit more! 


The Skin Tight is pretty amazing as well.  It is for anywhere your skin could use sometightening.  Mama Mio is honest and doesn’t claim instantresults but they recommend you use it at least 30 days to see results.  Every time I use it I do feel tightening and I can tell it’s working.  Skin tight goes on easily and absorbs anddries quickly.  You can even use it onyour face to wake up tired looking skin (um, us mommies, need this often!).

Mama Mio makes many other products (all of which I can’twait to try after these wonderful products!). All of their products are free of the yucky stuff and are good for your skin.  I believe that if you try them you will be really happy you did.

Purchase: You can purchase Mama Mio products from their website.

WIN:  Mama Mio is so kind and I get to give 2 lucky readers one of these great Mama Mio Products.  I will randomly select a winner and the first will receive a bottle of the Omega Body Buff and the second winner will receive Skin Tight. I can’t wait for you to try them!!

Disclosure: I was sent a bottle of Mama Mio Omega Body Buff and Skin Tight to try for free.  My opinions shared here are my own.

Your Mom Designs Etsy Shop: Awesome Gifts for Kids (& A $20 Giveaway)

First of all, I have to tell you that today I am sharing with you my sister’s Etsy Shop: Your Mom Designs.  She can whip up adorable crotchet hats, super hero masks, play food, nesting bowls and more.  I may be a little biased because I love her so much but I do think she makes some of the cutest stuff ever!  
Each piece of hers is handmade and high quality.  We have had several hats and play food items that have lasted for years and are still in great shape.  If any of it gets dirty I just throw it in a gentle cycle in the wash and it comes out looking as good as new.

Your Mom Designs hats are so cute and practical!  We really like to use them for pictures and for when the weather turns cooler.  There are some really cute designs or you can even request custom hats. Recently I wanted a little teddy bear hat as a gift for a little boy and I paid her to make one.  It was so incredibly cute and such a unique gift to give.

SparkleHearts For Girls Full Size Set Giveaway

My girls and I are big fans of Sparklehearts for girls.  They had me at their fun, girly packaging that promises natural and organic ingredients.  Let’s face it, most girls like pretty, flowery, girly embellishments and Sparklehearts does a great job of delivering just that.  Lots of natural and organic products are a bit boring for girls because they often cannot compete with the eye candy of other products that are full of icky stuff. Sparklehearts, however, is safe for your skin and very appealing to the eye. Sparklehearts products do not contain any artificial colors, parabens, phthalates, or sulfates and the sweet scents they use are natural.

The scents are as sweet as the bottles promise. My girls love that Sparklehearts are just for them and I’ve noticed slightly more frequent showers once we started using it.

I also love to give Sparklehearts for Girls as gifts.  In fact I am going to be filling my girls stockings with them this year.

To purchase Sparklehearts Natural Beauty For Girls products you can visit their website. They have a great gift set for $13.99.  Or you can purchase the body lotion, body wash, shampoo, conditioner & detangler separately.

Enter with Rafflecopter for a chance to WIN a set of each of the Sparklehearts for girls full size products.  If you are reading this in email or on a mobile device you will need to go to the main site to see the entry form below.

Ribbies Clippies: Adorable Hair Clips for Little Girls {and a giveaway}

With 5 girls I have been through my fair share of hair styling battles. Little ones are the worst when it comes to sitting still and letting me do their hair.  When I got my hands on some Ribbies I was excited because these little clippies are crazy cute and so quick to put in.  Who needs a pony tail when you can pop in cute Ribbies in just a few seconds?
I am a hair bow and flower fan too but for little ones with finer hair sometimes the bow doesn’t make it out the door with us.  I’ll often find it on the floor because it fell out or in the car because it was easily pulled out.  That’s why I am loving Ribbies!  These adorable clippies have foam grip on them so they are not easily pulled out and won’t fall out!
Ribbies are great for older girls too.  I love this look of two clippies on one side!
There are SO many incredibly cute designs of Ribbies to choose from so you can have them match every outfit if you wish.  Or you can just pick a few simple designs to match almost everything.  My favorite set is the Zoe set (shown below) but it’s not an easy choice.
 If you’d like to get your hands on some Ribbies Clippies you can purchase them here.  Don’t forget to check out their headbands, clippie holders and pacifier clips as well.
