WhoMi Organizers- Review.





Sometimes I feel like I have a 1,000 things to do and it is a real challenge trying to keep track of everything I need to do , plus the things that I might need to do for the ladybug and my husband’s occasional….. “Please Remind me to” ….
I usually get a couple of organizers a year, Calendars and different tools to help me keep everything with some order, so I can accomplish as much as possible everyday which is not so easy sometimes, so I NEED organizers that can make that task a little bit easier.
My latest great find: WhoMi. WhoMi is an organizer created with women in mind. All women tend to be multi tasking and the WhoMi is a color code organizer that will help you to control and track the different aspects of your daily routine.
I was able to try the original clarity agenda (9 3/4" W x 4 3/4" H x 3/4" D) which is big enough to keep a clear view of your weekly projects in one single snapshot , but small enough to carry around. I think the color coded concept is such a great idea! There are 3 different colors: yellow which I use for myself, Green for the ladybug and blue for daddy. That way I know what is up with everybody with a quick look to the agenda.
It has a complete 2009 and 2010 calendar with space for little notes and a note pad. And you can already get 2010 agendas.
I also tried the How do I do it? An 8 ¼” x 6” x ¾” notebook that is perfect to have at home. This is one of the new products that WhoMi has brought to the market and is a great tool for all your “to do’s”.
The How do I do it pad is divided by Shop/Call/Do sections that are also color coded. It is not dated so you can start using it at any time without wasting half of the pad because it is outdated. The note pad has 3 very convenient two sided folders for keeping important notes, lists or receipts.
So I can feel very confident to say this a great find.

Blush Undershirt- Review and Giveaway.

Closed





Do you blush? Have you ever worn a shirt that keeps rolling up so you need to spend all the time you are wearing it pulling the shirt back down? How about that shirt that shrinks after you wash it, but you still want to wear because you like it?
Yes I had all this happened to me before and to be honest, it is quite annoying and frustrating! Well don’t keep getting annoyed, there is something to stop those wardrobe malfunctions and it is called Blush.
What is Blush? Blush is an undershirt that is to be worn like a tube top …..The difference, you actually wear it around your waist. The fabric is super stretchy and actually provides support which is very much appreciated for your writing friend here.
I love layering, but ever since I had the ladybug and gained ……Some extra weight I have not been able to wear anything like that because it makes me look bulky, but with the Blush under shirt I definitely can do that.
The best part, you can adjust the length as you wish so you can get the exact look you are looking for.
I got the Swirl Print Blush undershirt and I love it , not only does it allow me to change the look in many of my old shirts, but it also let me be more comfortable knowing that I am not going to be showing more than what I am supposed to!
The Blush Undershirt comes in various colors and prints and it is a piece of clothing that you can use while pregnant and after wards. Ingenious I tell you.
Buy it.
Blush is offering all Born 2 Impress readers a 20% off 2 Undershirts or more with the discount code: welovebloggers.
Win it Blush has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader one of their so convenient undershirts.

Magic Cabin- Review and Giveaway.

Closed





I have no idea how much money we spend in batteries for the ladybug’s toys , but if we consider that more than half of them talk or sing or something then I am pretty safe by saying that a lot of money is put to batteries.
What happened to the old times toys? They were as much fun as the talking ones, but it looks like it is harder to find that kind of toys. This is the reason why I was so happy to find Magic Cabin. Magic Cabin Toys are “kid powered”. None of their toys included batteries simply because none of them use batteries!
Magic Cabin believes in good- old- fashioned make believe and in children’s innate ability to interact with simple , natural toys and crafts that open a whole world to the non stopping imagination of children.
They have a range of toys that goes from children under 3 years old to 9 years and up and you can find anything from a monkey in a box to a camping tent.
I got 2 adorable toys for the little bug from the Magic Cabin:
Apple House Play Set which is a two story fabric house that comes with six little plush animals and you can open it and use it as fold out mat embroidered with a really cute wood scene to place the animals on (a ladybug’s favorite).
I also got the Traveling Gnomes Set (my favorite) and it’s got 5 hand-crocheted adorable gnomes that fit inside a colorful little tote. This set is so cute that I actually have it as part of the ladybug’s room decoration.
If you are like me and are a lover of the old times toys (no batteries). Then Magic Cabin is a store you need to visit!
Win it.
Magic Cabin has kindly offered a lucky Born 2 Impress reader one of their Traveling Gnomes Set.
To enter this giveaway visit: www.magiccabin.com and tell me which is your favorite product. This is mandatory to participate.

ID On Me- Reviewand Giveaway.

Closed




I have had a couple of times when I have jump in the car to get something from the grocery store before I realized that I have no Identification on me and it has crossed my mind….How will they know who I am or who to contact if something bad happened?
A few weeks ago, I found about ID On Me and thought this was just an awesome idea. ID On me is a comfortable, adjustable, very convenient and water resistant bracelet which has a compartment in which you can place a folded piece of water proof insert with all the vital information that might be needed in an emergency.
The ID On me can be a very important tool, not only during a car accident, but if you like to practice any kind of outdoor activity in which you cannot carry a conventional ID , this will allow you to have an identification and medical information with you at all times.
Another great use for the ID On Me Bracelets is to keep children identified and have contact information in case you got separated while being outside. And what about older people that might not have the capability to say who they are or who to contact in the case that they got lost or just any special condition that the person wearing it might have.
The ID On me is not only a great source of important information, but they are not obtrusive and actually they are cute! They come in 9 different colors and different bands to match them with.
They are not supposed to be used on children under 3, but as soon as the ladybug gets to the proper age to wear one, she is getting an ID On Me bracelet!
Win it.
One lucky Born 2 Impress winner will have the chance to win two ID On Me bracelets with the colors of their choice and two extra bands either gray or striped.
To enter this giveaway visit: www.idonme.com and tell me which colors you will pick and who you will give them to if you win the giveaway. This is mandatory to participate.

Bella Lucce Natural Beauty Products- Review.





I love everything handmade, so when I had the opportunity to review a product that is handmade and that is made out of all natural ingredients, I have to say I was very excited.
Bella Lucce was founded in 2003 and it was the results of its creator’s desire for a more natural approach to beauty. Lela Barker started to research and search for natural ingredients that could substitute the preservative and ingredients used in cosmetic products that could be harmful to the people using them.
Lela started the company as a hobby , giving her products to friends and family , but after a huge success among her relatives and friends, she decided to take the next step and started her own company which now days sells products to salons , spas, and natural wellness centers In 48 states and over a dozen countries. Even though the company is not the one person project any more , Bella Lucce products are still being handmade by an amazing group of women in the company’s bustling production kitchen.
Bella Lucce has an amazing product collection to take care of your whole body :
-Facial Care.
-Body Scrubs.
-Moisturizers
-Peppermint Pedicures.
- Chocolate Spa…..Are just some of the products you can find at Bella Lucce’s website.
I was able to try the Pomegranate Polishing Crème which even though looks like a cream works like scrub. You can feel the difference right away. It feels like really tiny crystals, but make sure not to put any pressure while you are applying the cream because it is a powerful scrub.
-Guava berry Revitalizing Masque which is a dust that you mix with water to create a very fresh and 100% natural masque. This you can actually mix with other ingredients instead of the water to use depending on your skin type. The skin feels amazingly soft after applying the masque!
-Face- Firming Serum . Formulated with a cocktail of proven skin boosters: natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids, DMEA, Beta Carotene, Cranberry, Red Raspberry and Meadowfoam Seed oils, and vitamins A, C and E. This is a must have to keep your skin looking fresh and radiant, definitely one of my favorites.
- Pink Grapefruit foaming cleanser this was my personal favorite. You put it on your hand and it is like I had just poured some grape fruit juice on my hand, it is truly amazing and you can still smell it even after I washed my hands. Not to mention how clean my face feels after I use it, I just love it!
Bella Lucce is a natural, great and affordable way to keep your skin looking healthy and radiant.

True Genius- Review and Giveaway.



Closed





I Love T-Shirts for myself and especially love cute T-Shirts for the ladybug and I like finding new companies that offer unique clothing for the little ones. True Genius certainly falls in my cute and good category.
True Genius Apparel Company’s children clothing is made with 100% organic cotton which is good for your little one and the planet as well. Regular cotton production is one is one of the most chemically intensive of any crop in the world.
According to the World Wild Life Fund, forty six insecticides and acaricides (product used to control mites and ticks) comprise 90% of the total volume of all pesticides used on cotton. Five of these are classified as extremely hazardous (known cancer –causing chemicals), eight as highly hazardous, and 20 are moderately hazardous, but these chemicals are legally used in the cotton production.
I got a brown T-Shirt with a yellow butterfly for my little bug and the color combination is awesome and very unusual for children’s clothing which makes it really different that the rest of T-Shirts that you expect to get.
The quality in unbeatable, I have washed the T-Shirt a good half dozen times, and it looks exactly the same way as it did the day I got it , not to mention that the fabric feels really soft to the touch. So I know that #1- the bug is comfortable and #2- that I have gotten a quality piece of clothing and #3- she is going to look totally squeezable whenever she wears it.
All the True Genius T-Shirts have a positive message in the front with encouraging and inspiring words for the kiddies, which I personally think is awesome. We need more positive messages surrounding the people that is going to be in charge in the future:).
Buy it.
All Born 2 Impress readers get 4.00 of their order with discount code:B2I09 Valid through August 28 2009

Pediped- Review






Whenever I am shopping for shoes for the ladybug, there are several features that I seek: Quality, comfort, functionality, and of course I want the shoes to be as cute as possible.
Pediped has all of these qualities and then some. They have one of the biggest varieties on kid’s shoes and the Pediped shoes are designed to promote healthy foot development. Pediped was one of the first children’s footwear companies to be awarded with the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of acceptance for promoting healthy foot development.
The great thing about Pediped besides what I just mentioned is the fact that they have such a great variety of designs that there is a shoe for you no matter what are you looking for. They have shoe sizes from newborn to age 2+ (original design) and their rubber- soled shoes for children 1-6 years (flex).
I have recently got the Abigail –pink Sandals for the ladybug and the sandals are just adorable, it is a light pink color and decorated with flowers of a darker shade. It’s got an adjustable ankle strap which makes it really easy to put on and take off and we all know that is a very important feature.
The sandal heels have shock absorbing to help protect against impact and distribute pressure through-out the foot (this is my favorite feature of them all because I don’t know how your kids are , but mine is always jumping and this is a great way to help her not to get hurt when running and jumping).
The sandals are also very roomy on the front so the piggies are free to move and they are also very soft and flexible and made of leather. A great quality shoe that you can definitely pass down to a younger daughter or another member of the family and with this economy the way it is, that is a double plus for me.

ALL.ETT- World's Thinnest Wallet - Review and Giveaway.


Closed





I used to like the big wallets in which you can have a ton of stuff and that I have to say takes a lot of space in my purse, but I didn’t have to worry about the purse space because it was my purse and my stuff so I was just fine with a big wallet.
Now since “my purse” is not my purse anymore and have been filled up with the ladybug’s things and sometimes daddy’s stuff, I do try to make sure that my wallet doesn’t take up all the space. I bought a tiny accordion wallet when I was in Spain and loved it because it fit anywhere and I was even able to stick it in my back jeans pockets for a quick run to the store. But that was over 3 years ago and it wasn’t in a good condition anymore and I started shopping for a new one.
I could not find anything similar for under 50.00 until I came across ALL.ETT – World Thinnest wallet and I was very pleased to find out that they have a leather Women’s Pocket Wallet that can hold up to 18 cards and has two zippered pocket where I can keep bills, change, and even a couple photos! The best part yet is that it takes no space at all in my purse and I can easily stick it in my back pocket and it so comfortable, that I have found myself padding my pocket to make sure it is there, because I can hardly notice it!
All the ALL.ETT nylon wallets are made using 100% recyclable materials. They are made of a high performing spinnaker fabric which is PVC free. The fabric has a rip-stop design that increases tear strength and durability which makes the ALL.ETT a very sustainable product.
ALL.ETT has a variety products as the Billfolds that is eco-friendly and they assure that help diminish back pain cause by sitting on a thick wallet noun as “back pocket sciatica”. The ALL.ETT has a side-by side pocket design that creates 4 pockets for card so you can spread them better and keeps you from creating a bulky pack while holding up to 30 cards!
They also have a biodegradable Boater’s wallet, made of Thermo Plastic Polyurethane (TPU). Which is solvent free and very low in toxicity and a 100% recyclable. The Boater’s wallet is waterproof and they say that is floats on top of the water for up to two days. That is a really cool feature!
They have many other designs that are made with the same thin criteria and none is more than 30.00.
Win it.

Diapersetc - Review.




Yes, It is HOT here and we are spending a lot of time in the pool trying to teach (daddy is teaching her) how to swim. And of course we need pool gear and that includes diapers! Have you bought any of the swim diapers? Those suckers are expensive! And there is no way I can have her swimming in a regular disposable diaper. I did that one time at a friend’s house because I forgot the swimming diapers and OMG. That thing exploded, she had a clear gel all over her (apparently that is what is inside the diapers)
Time to look for alternatives:
-Disposable swim diapers.
-No diapers at all.
-Cloth swimming diapers.
And number 3 was the winner and I found a great store to get them from. Diapersetc. Specializes in cloth diapering products and you can find about anything there.
- All In One Diapers.
- Contour Diapers.
- One Size Diapers.
- Fleece Diaper Covers.
- Changing Pads.
- Diaper Bags.....
They have a complete line of swimming diapers that goes from new born to 4 years or 44 lbs. I got the Imse Swim Diaper – Pink Flowers design and even though I miss calculated the size and it is a little big on the ladybug, it still work great.
The diaper outside is made out of swim suit fabric and the inner fabric contains everything In and as I said even though the diaper is a little big on the bug I had no problems at all.
Something I really like is that the diaper has soft elastic in the waist and legs and makes it very comfortable for the little ones to move around and play in the water.
My favorite feature: Snaps on one side so it is very easy to change the diaper in case you need to!

Scrubz - Review and Giveaway.

Closed





In a perfect world I would be able to take a spa day any time I want to…..In reality that doesn’t happen EVER , so I like to do my own spa day every time I get a chance and take care of my skin as much as possible. I Take at least one hour for “me time” and I do my nails, pedicure, and take a bubble bath and to top it off I use my favorite body scrub and get rid of all the dead skin cells.
Body scrubs exfoliates, cleanses, and leaves your skin revitalized. I feel like a new person every time I use a body scrub, but as I have come to realize, not all scrubs work as good, so I was very excited to try Scrubz. Scrubz is an all natural sugar body scrub.
I had the chance to try the Citrus Zest hand and body scrub which is a mix of citrus oils combined and it is just great to eliminate odors. I use it on my hands after cutting some onions and not only get a really fresh and clean scent I also get soft as silk hands. Which I can live with :).
I also had the chance to try the Vanilla Flowerz, and I usually don’t really like vanilla scent, but I guess it is the other ingredients that are mixed in this scrub( ylan yland and sweet pear ), that makes it just ……Delicious!
Scrubz has a great variety of scent and products for the whole family. They even have a scrub for kids called Scrubblez and it is a triple whipped and more gentle scrub for kids. They even promise that it removes all the dirt that is in the grooves and pores of the kids skin and does not dry the skin the way regular soap does. That is definitely something to try.
Win it.
Scrubz has kindly offered 4 lucky Born 2 Impress readers the chance to win one 4 oz. bottle of the Scrubz of their choice.
To enter this giveaway visit: http: www.scrubzbodyscrub.com and tell me which Scrubz you would pick if you win the giveaway. This is mandatory to participate.

Child to Cherish-Review and Discount.





Sometimes I can’t believe how big the ladybug is getting , not too long ago she was just this little package they gave me at the hospital and now she is running and climbing and driving me nuts (for which I am very grateful for). I also realized that I want as many keepsakes and memories and everything I can get to remember this beautiful stage in life.
Child to Cherish is a website that helps you do just that. Child to Cherish offers a great variety of unique, yet functional children’s keepsakes and gifts. Every item in the Child to Cherish collection is designed to capture those precious moments that you so dearly want to preserve.
The Child to Cherish Collection includes beautiful pieces designed by Patrice Lowe to capture those special moments in your little one’s life. Some of my favorites are the Block to Grow on and Grandma’s suitcase. But the one piece that got me drooling was the Handprints Tower of Time.
This adorable kit has 5 different tin containers in which you can read my hand when I was 1, 2,3,4,5! So you can have an imprint of your little one’s hand the first 5 years of her life. You can find the instructions on how to do the mix and step by step instructions. In the inside of the cover you find a sticker to write down your kids name and the date, it also includes a little ribbon to decorate the print.
This is the most adorable idea I have come across yet and I love it! The only part I am really sorry about is the fact that I am going to actually start the collection on the ladybugs second year! And because accident’s happens they even replace the plaster if for whatever reason you need to re- do it. Just need to pay the shipping and they send you some more safe and non toxic plaster……Pretty cool if you ask me.
This will be the perfect gift for a first year birthday or a baby shower.
Buy it.
Child to Cherish has offered a 10% off your purchase to all Born 2 impress readers. To use the discount simply put bti10 at check out.

Switchflops- Review and Giveaway.


Closed




Florida + Sun+ Heat= Flip Flops!
I am a big flip flops fan and have a few pairs already, but I am always up for some more sandals and flip flops, my only problem…..I am quickly running out of closet space!
I was truly delighted when I heard about the new Switchflops……Change your look not your sole! This versatile sandals and flip flops allow you to wear any clothes with one pair of shoes……That is exactly what Switflops can do for you.
Switchflops are Lindsay Phillips creation and this concept was something she started working on when she was in high school as an art project. Her initial idea evolved when she realized that by using Velcro she could create one shoe with many straps, simple yet genius!
With Switflops the options are unlimited and the best part, they also have kids sizes and you can create the cutest flip flops for the kiddies! Too bad they don’t have the ladybug’s size:).
I have been wearing mine ever since I got them and I just love them, I leave them right next to the door and slip them on as I go out.
A really awesome feature of the Switchflops website is that you can create your sandals by choosing the sole and when you clip on the straps, you can actually see how the final product will look and you can just play around with the different designs.

Win it.
Switch Flops  has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader the chance to win a pair of Switchflops!

Go GAGA -Urban Sherpa Strap- Review and Giveaway


Closed






Have you ever have a bag that you love because it’s got all the space you need to carry around everything you want?
I have this travel bag that I bought when I was living in Spain and it‘s been my travel bag ever since I bought it four years ago. There is only one thing about it that …..I don’t love as much as I love the bag, and that is the shoulder strap. It is so incredible uncomfortable that it makes me think about it every time I am going to use the bag. I have a little problem with my right shoulder and every time I use the bag, my shoulder ends up in pain……But as I said the bag is just perfect for traveling!
A few weeks ago I found a product that looked like it could be the solution to my little strap problem. Go GAGA has a new product called Urban Sherpa Strap.
This is what they say in their website:
Sometimes it feels like you’ve got the weight of the world on your shoulders – literally. Lugging your laptop, gym gear or paperwork from one place to the next can take a toll on your back, not to mention your outlook on life. So, we created the Urban Sherpa Strap to spread the weight of your bag across your back and shoulders, making it easier and more fashionable to carry. (They had my full attention here). And then it keeps going (So, if you have the perfect bag, but hate the strap, try our Urban Sherpa Strap. It works with any laptop bag, gym tote or briefcase that has a strap attached by clips – simply remove the current strap and clip Go GaGa’s Urban Sherpa Strap onto the plastic or metal loops at either end of your favorite bag.) This was totally my case right here , but honestly I was very skeptical about the whole new strap thing, but for my beloved bag I was willing to try because I knew I would have to stop using my bag if this didn’t work.
I could not be more happy the strap opens up, so it actually covers the whole shoulder so the weight off the bag is spread proportionally and the pressure I used to get whenever I used my bag is not there anymore…..the Sherpa Strap is the most comfortable bag strap I have ever tried, and I have tried a lot!
The best part, you can use it with as many bags as you want. I actually started using it with some other bags and I absolutely love the comfort it provides……This is just an awesome invention.
Win It .

Stuck on You- Review.




I really like personalized items and therefore I do a lot of research on different companies that offer these kinds of products.
Stuck on You is a company specialized on personalized products for kids. Stuck on you designs are colorful and eye-catching. They have all kinds of different products for different age groups. My personal favorite is the Chalk board Wall Sticker. This is a very cute and original way to keep your grocery shopping list or your to-do list.
Stuck on you also offers:
-Dog Tags.
-Personalized Wall Art.
- Stuck on you Tools for School. ( a most to avoid losing school supplies)
- Personalized Stickers.
-Clothing Labels.
-Party invitations……. I had a really hard time finding the right invitations for the ladybug’s party last time, and when I realized they have party invitations, I rushed to check them out .The invitations are as colorful and cute as the rest of the items they have, but what really got me excited is that they have a ladybug’s party invitations and matching stickers!
Oh you know I had to have them and they look just as I would want them to look and the stickers are just the perfect finishing touch to send the thank you notes after the party! The pack has 20 invitations (that comes with the envelopes) and 20 stickers and they only cost 15.50 so you can have the invitations and the thank you notes for under 20.00 dollars which is a really good deal.

Girls4Sports-Review and Giveaway.

Closed





My husband and I are trying to get the ladybug to learn how to swim, which means that we all go the pool, and he teaches her how to swim while I watch( I really can’t swim). We are trying to go to the pool as often as possible so she can practice.
Since we are spending a good amount of time at the pool and exposed to the sun, I always carry sun protection in the bag that we take to the pool……But when daddy takes her to the pool by himself, I can’t be certain if he is going to remember to put sun protection on the little bug. So for those times when I am not going with them I have an ally Girls4Sports swimming wear for the bug to wear.
Girls4Sports swim wear has a UPF 50 + BLOCK 98% of UVA/UVB. This is just what I need to know so that the little bug is not going to get sunburned even if daddy forgets to apply sun protection. I have compared the difference of a day swimming with the Girls4Sports top that I’ve got and a regular bathing suit and I can totally see the difference in the skin tone.
The ladybug has the Toddler Short Sleeve Rashguar top and I just love it, the top is totally adorable, and makes the little bug look like a mini surfer, and at the same time I know she is protected and ready for her water adventures.
I have washed the top a good 10+ times already and it looks the same way it did the day I got it. This type of clothing is just ingenious! You get a cute and quality piece of clothing that keeps you from getting toasted on the sun…..Pretty smart.
Girls4sports also carries youth and adult sizes for those water loving babies of all ages that want to look and be protected from the sun while practicing water sports. I think the best part about Girls4sports clothing is that you don’t need to re-apply the sun protection every few hours and …..it’s water proof lol!
Win it.
Girls4Sports has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 impress readers the chance to win a Toddler Board Shorts.
