Macadamia Hair Products- Review and Giveaway.

Closed.



I love macadamia nuts, but I did not know that you can use these delicious nuts to create some of the best hair products I have had the chance to try so far…..A few weeks ago I was asked if I would like to try some of the products from an online store called macadamiahair.com.
I headed over the website to know what was it all about and while I was looking at the site information, I learned that The Macadamia Natural Oil line of professional hair care products combines two of the world’s most valuable and beneficial oils, Macadamia and Argan, to provide the ultimate in hair rejuvenation and maintenance.
For centuries, alchemist and healers worldwide have turned to nature’s rich resources for their medicinal powers. Macadamia nuts fresh off a tree
With the oil from the macadamia nut found throughout the South Pacific and the uniquely rare argan seeds of Morocco, nature has provided us with some of the most beneficial elements for healthful skin and hair. Macadamia Natural Oil products combine the oils of these highly nutritional nuts with special blends of nature’s most nourishing botanicals to formulate the ultimate in hair rejuvenation and maintenance…..Was I interested in trying the products? Yes!
I was sent 4 different products to try:
Nourishing Leave-In Cream: There is one word to describe this leave in cream and that is awesome!
I have been using it for the last few weeks and love the results I get with it. My hair looks really shinny and healthy , and I love the soft smell that it leaves on my hair, but the real test was to treat the ladybug’s wild hair….I have told you before, my daughter has really thin hair that tends to curl….everywhere , so trying to keep those curls under control is certainly not an easy task, plus I have noticed that her hair looked less shiney and not really healthy, so I decided to try this on her and OMG! I couldn’t belive the difference it made and how quickly her hair looked healthier than it was before I started using the leave- In cream on her. I Love this product!
Healing Oil Treatment. After Trying the leave –In cream I didn’t think They could actually make anything better….But I was wrong , with just a couple of drops after the leave in conditioner and my hair gets as smooth as it’s never been before. This treatment is just incredible and the scent in this oil is amazing! It leaves my hair smelling clean and looking great, and if that is not enough, both products have UV protection!
Healing Oil Infused Comb. This is a unique comb has a blend of the Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment with a specially formulated resin for a detangler that is infused with their special oil. I found it especially good for long hair.
And last but not least, I had the chance to try the 1.0 oz sample of the Deep Repair Masque and if you need a deep treatment to re-store your hair’s health I will recommend this as the first step and keep the treatment with the leave-in conditioner and the oil for ultimate results. It combines Macadamia & Argan oils with Tea tree oil, chamomile oil, aloe and algae extract,deep nourishment & long-lasting conditioning, ultra-conditioning hair reconstruction.
Win it Macadamia Hair products has kindly offered 3 lucky Born 2 Impress readers, the chance to win a mini size of the Healing Oil Treatment.

bee well wishes- Review and Giveaway.

Closed.


Are you the kind of person that likes super cute super comfortable pajamas and sleeping clothes? Then you need to know about the Bee Well Wishes store. Bee Well Wishes if you have not guessed it yet has a bee theme for the clothing and accessories line that is just adorable and so very comfortable .
Bee well wishes are a really cute and very comfortable line, but what caught my attention the most about the store was the history of the beginning of this adorable site and the great concept behind the bee well wishes.
At first I thought the name was a really cute and great way to call attention to the store, after I read about how it all started, (yes I will share that with you). The name made even more sense and gives a whole new definition of what bee well wishes means.
Back in 2007, the owner of bee well wishes owner found out that she had a tumor, a benign Meningioma. If you know anything about tumors, it’s a “good” kind to have (if there is such thing). However, it happened to be located at her brain stem and wrapped around nerves 1-12. Nerves that control things like eyesight, swallowing, speaking, hearing, facial muscles, tongue control, and necessary things like that. So, not a good place to have it.
She had to wait until she delivered her baby girl before doing anything about it. While recovering from surgery, she received lots of presents and get well wishes from friends and family. Most of them sent food and flowers, but she had a feeding tube so she couldn’t really eat the food sent to her and her husband is allergic to flowers, so they had to take those outside.
From all the presents she received, there was one that came from a friend that was in a wheelchair from suffering an aneurysm……A pair of pajamas, that was a present she could actually enjoy and that is how the bee well wishes idea was born.
I spent most of my pregnancy in bed so I can totally relate to what she felt when she was in bed recovering from surgery. This is a great story and the resulting products coming from her experience are just awesome.
Comfortable and extremely cute are the words that come to my mind when I think about the bee well wishes pajamas and sleep shirts.
So next time you want to send a “bee well wish “to somebody, or you want to give a very different and useful present to any one special in your life, little one or grown up, this little store is a must.
Win it:
Bee well wishes, has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress readers, the chance to win a free BIG, BIG bee sleep shirt.
To enter this giveaway, please visit: bee well wishes and tell me which one is your favorite product. This is mandatory to participate.

Melitta Gourmet Coffee- Review and Giveaway-10 Winners!


Closed.


 

I am a morning person…….At least I am once I have had my morning Coffee! I love coffee but I am really picky on what coffee I drink. I usually get my coffee from the Dominican Republic, and have drank one or two from here when I have run out.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to try some of the gourmet coffees from Melitta. I have to say that I was more than pleased when I tried the different flavors sent to me for the review. Through the blend of different ingredients and flavors, Melitta, has created a really enjoyable coffee experience.
With flavor like the Parisian Vanilla , Hazelnut Cream Brulee( my very favorite which is caramel and vanilla infused with the flavor of wild Hazelnuts) , Blanc et Noir , and Classique Supreme among many others , Melitta has created a must visit coffee shop for all coffee lovers.
The selection is certainly very wide and diverse to cover all the different tastes for a person that enjoys the experience of a really good and different coffee. And even for those that like the traditional or international blends.
For 100 Years, Melitta has dedicated itself to providing the ultimate coffee experience with its premium line of gourmet coffees, coffee filters, and high quality coffeemakers, bringing European Indulgence to everyday life. The Melitta history started in 1908 when Melitta Bentz, a housewife from Dresden, had this revolutionary idea. Why not use paper to filter out unwanted residues? So she punctured the bottom of a brass pot and lined it with blotting paper taken from the notebook of her oldest son. Perfectly filtered coffee -- without bitterness and grounds -- dripped out of the bottom.
Now days Melitta is one of the most complete coffee stores that I have come across and certainly one that can capture the essence of coffee.
I also had the opportunity to try one of the Ready Set Joe which is a non electric, very simple to use one cup coffee maker and it is a mess and hassle free way to make your coffee at any time of the day.
Win it:
Melitta Coffee has kindly offered 10 lucky Born 2 Impress readers, the chance to win a Ready Set Joe prize packages. That would include One Ready Set Joe, one gourmet Melitta coffee and one box of filters.
To enter this giveaway, please visit: Melitta and tell which flavor(s) would you like to try. This is mandatory to participate.

Bloume Baby- Review.



A place to purchase stylish, healthy, sustainable products and to promote a green lifestyle: Bloume Baby is the kind of store where you can find great products for your little one. Dress, play, eat, sleep, bathe, travel and even products for mom is what you can find at this trendy baby store.
I had the chance to try one of the many wooden toys offered at Bloume Baby, a Xylophone made by Plan toys. The first thing I noticed and absolutely love is the very elegant and cute box that it came in and then the quality that you expect from all the Plan Toys.
The Xylophone has become one of the ladybug’s favorite toys. The quality is outstanding, the bug can be very rough some times, but the Xylophone is as good as it was when I first got it a few weeks ago. Made from non- toxic, natural materials, it is Chemical free and made from kiln-dried recycled rubberwood and with based non-toxic ink and E-Zero glue.
I have seen many metal Xylophones, but this one is entirely wood which makes it more durable and resistant , but also makes it a really cute toy, the kind you can pass along to younger siblings.

Little Statements Girls Clothing- Review and Giveaway.


Closed.



Do you like your little princess to make a statement anywhere she goes? Then you need to check the Little Statements store for girls!
Little Statements offers you a great selection of outfits and accessories to make your little girl standout everywhere she goes. I had the chance to try two of their dresses:
Pink and Black Dress, the dress is stylish, trendy and just adorable, with an wide skirt that makes the dress not only very pretty , but also very comfortable for the little ladies. It would make a great outfit to wear to a birthday party or any other “activity“that your daughter might have on her agenda. You can change the color of the belt to get a complete different look and the same striking effect. The dress is available in size 3m to 5T, so if you have two or even 3 girls in that age range, you could dress them the same for a picture or a family reunion!
Pink Paisley Dress.
This dress has a very high waist line and a crossed chest design. This very cute and fresh dress is just perfect for the hot summer days in front of us and I am thinking that it might be my choice for Easter. The wide skirt design allows the girls to move freely and be comfortable while wearing the dress. The flower on the belt is detachable so you can wear it with or without. As with the other design, the dress is available in sizes 3m to 5T.
I also received two adorable bracelets to match each dress, the McKenna bracelet which is a black beads bracelet and I have to say vey cute and trendy. And the Brittney bracelet which is also very cute and the perfect accessory for the Pink Paisley Dress!
Buy it:
Little Statements is offering a great 25% off to all Born 2 Impress readers with discount code: Born 2 Impress.

Ayala's Herbal Water-Review and Giveaway.


Closed.




The first thing the endocrinologist said when I went to see her to start up my diet was: do you drink any sodas? I knew that was coming…..And also knew that I needed to stop drinking my so loved Coca- Cola….Sniff.
So I stopped drinking Coke and as an alternative tried and loved something that is a lot healthier, and also very refreshing and different.Ayala's Herbal Water , is very tasty, full of flavor and calories free, with no artificial sweeteners and artificial chemicals, yet one of the most refreshing drinks I have ever tried.
According to the Herbal water’s website: Ayala’s Herbal Water is the first nationally available organically certified enhanced flavored water made with all organic ingredients. Each Herbal Water blend is all-natural and sets a new standard for healthy beverages: zero calories, zero artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors, and zero chemical preservatives. According to me this thing is just awesome!
The particular thing about this beverage, is that when you drink it , it is like drinking regular water, but as the drink is going down your throat you can actually taste the different flavors, and being a herbs tea lover like I am, I absolutely loved Ayala’s Herbal Water.
Ayala’s Herbal Water comes in 6 delicious and very refreshing flavors and if you are like me and have a hard time drinking plain water, or just want a healthier beverage alternative, then this is one you need to try.
Buy it:
Get 5.00 off when you follow Ayala’s Herbal Water on Twitter, or Facebook.
Win it:
Ayala’s Herbal water has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a 6 pack sampler of Herbal Water and an organic cotton tote bag.

revitaPOP - Review


As a very busy mom of a very active little girl, sometimes I need a little help to go through my day and since there is only so much coke and coffee a body can take and keep without having a meltdown. I decided to look for a healthier way to get that little kick that I need at exactly 2:30 in the afternoon! I found a really interesting product that caught my intention right away: revitaPop.
This is what got my attention: revitaPOP is a simple, convenient and easy way to effectively replenish your body with Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin or mB12) without the pain of a B12 shot.
Doctors know the health benefits of vitamin B12 and have administered vitamin B12 shots to patients for years with remarkable results. The B12 shots, however, do not always raise mB12 levels, plus they require a prescription and can be painful and expensive.
revitaPOP combats the typical absorption challenges of mB12 through its novel delivery method that allows the mB12 to be absorbed directly through the trigeminal nerve in the tongue, increasing both the absorption time and effectiveness.
mB12 is the only neurologically active version of Vitamin B12. A deficiency of this vitamin can affect vision, intestinal function, the ability to protect against infections and toxins, nerve functioning, and DNA replication.
It seemed to make a lot of sense and since I so desperately needed to try something that will help me to go through the day; I wanted to give them a try. First things first, I was afraid that the pops would have a medicine taste and I wouldn’t like it, but the truth be told, they are delicious. I could not taste anything but a very yummy lollipop!
Does it give me that extra push I was looking for? Definitely! I was really impressed that this little lollypop would actually keep me from crashing in the afternoon and help me go about doing all the many things I need to and, better yet, the pops are far healthier than coffee or coke. Not only that, but they are even safe for kids and of course there is the factor that the revitaPOPS actually contain a vitamin. I just wish I could take all my vitamins this way!
You can get your revitaPOPS at: http://www.revitapop.com/shop.php

Belle Baby Carriers- Review and Giveaway.

Closed.


I have tried many different baby carriers and some of them have really been cute, but I don’t think I have found any baby carrier as adorable as the Belle Orange Blossom Baby Carrier! The Orange Blossom is part of the Belle classic line and made from their cappuccino fabric, a strong upholstery grade microsuede in medium-hued beige. It features a gorgeous panel of delicate and beautiful flowers embroidered on a deep orange microsuede background. The inside liner is dark brown teddy bear fur which is really soft.
I love the colors and the material of the baby carrier, but the part I like the most is the quality and the craftsmanship on the carrier. The buckles on the Orange Blossom carrier are the same as those used on high-end outdoor backpacks, the stainless steel rings they used on the waist band are really thick and sturdy , I also like the fact that the shoulder straps have some padding which is always a nice thing that makes the carrier, more comfortable.
One feature I loved about this carrier, is that it comes with a detachable head support for the younger babies (the carrier suits babies 8-30lbs), the head support is made of the same cappuccino microsuede and brown inside liner as the carrier and is definitely a great tool that would make the carrier suitable for the tiny ones when using it with the head rest and then without it when the baby is a little older.
The carrier can be machine or hand washed and the fabrics are 100% polyester. The carrier design is really simple and elegant and it doesn’t have intricate mechanisms so it is actually really easy to adjust and set up.
What is the best thing about the Belle carriers? The Independent waistbelt which brings weight down to your hips instead of shoulders and that is something that someone with back issues like me definitely can appreciate. The Orange Blossom is just one of the many adorable designs that you can find at Belle baby carriers and they even offer a selection of organic carriers!

Verilux- UV-C Lighting Products- Review anf Giveaway.

Closed.


As I have mentioned before I am really interested in the new UV-C Light technology for getting rid of germs and Verilux CleanWave Technology utilizes invisible UV-C Light to safely sanitize the surfaces in your home, eliminating up to 99.9% of germs, viruses, bacteria and dust mites. Chemical-free and odorless, UV-C light effectively eliminates biological contaminants that live and multiply on surfaces without having to resort to using harsh chemicals and cleansers.
The simple fact that you can get rid of germs and viruses without having to use any kind of chemicals is just amazing and I can’t think of a better way to avoid the use of harmful chemicals in my house.
Verilux offers an awesome selection of products that goes from floors to surfaces and that includes different products that you can use in your bedroom and bathroom.
I had the chance to try one of these very innovative products, the Clean Wave UV-C Sanitizing Wand which according to Verilux can to eliminate up to 99.9 % of viruses including the H1N1, and bacteria like MRSA with the use of UV-C light. It also claims to kill germs, molds and dust mite and flea eggs on surfaces in your home.
Having the ability to sanitize your home to such an extent is certainly something that I can appreciate.
The wand comes with a rechargeable battery that you can charge through the adapter that is included with the wand and it takes about 13-14 hours to be fully charged. Setting up the wand and installing the battery is really easy and can be done in just a couple of minutes at the most. The wand features a LED light that is red while charging and turns green when charged.
After the first time you fully charge the device, the charging time goes down to about 8 hours and you can use the wand for about 1 ½ hours before it needs to be recharged.
Using the wand is very easy , all you need to do is turn it on and hold the wand close to the surface you want to sanitize and let the UV-C Light do its job.
There are different sanitizing times for the different surfaces you might want to sanitize and time goes from 12 seconds to eight minutes depending on the size of the surface, but do not worry , all times are specified in the manual so you will have no problem knowing how long you need to sanitize the different items in your house.
Having something like this to sanitize the ladybug’s toys and bedroom is certainly a great peace of mind and since the wand is also a way to killing dust mites, it is a great thing to have for people like DH that suffers from allergies.
The Clean Wave wand is only one of the many different products that Verilux has to offer!
Win it:
Verilux has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free Clean Wave UV-C Sanitizing Wand.

OOMPA Toys- Review and Giveaway.


Closed.



NO BATTERIES. NO BLINKING LIGHTS. NO CARTOON-THEMED TOYS. PERIOD.
OOMPA Toys offers you a constantly expanding collection of European wooden toys, baby toys, educational toys, lunch bags and modern children's furniture to urbane and discerning adults who want to expose the young children in their lives to non-character branded, quality toys that are designed to withstand generations of use. In addition to baby toys, OOMPA Toys now offers a wonderful selection of baby gear, including stollers, high chairs, diaper bags and meal & bath time items. Recently they expanded their children's furniture collections to include modern cribs, tables, seating, beds & beddings and tons of playroom storage.
You all know how much I like Eco-Friendly, safe educational toys for the ladybug and OOMPA Toys has one of the best selections of this type of item that I have been able to find in one single store. And the fact that they also sell other children’s products makes it an even better place to shop at.
My little ladybug has recently discovered her artistic side and has been rewarding us with many drawings and paintings…..All over the place and even though I appreciate her painting, I do not appreciate her choosing the walls as a canvas!
I looked high and low for something that would allow her to keep painting and will keep the house from looking like a graffiti display and when I saw the Pkolino Orange Easel they have on their website I fell in love with it.
OOMPA sent me a very well made very trendy and most importantly very versatile Pkolino Orange Easel and after I set it up myself with no help at all (I was very proud of myself, but the truth is that it is really easy to set up). The easel has become a part of my leaving room decoration.
As I said it is a really versatile piece that can be used as a traditional chalkboard, a whiteboard and even as a puppet theater! You can even add a roll of paper or use sheets of different sizes…..Did I said versatile? It includes two adorable “coloring-book” scenes to use as backdrops when the easel is in puppet theater mode.
Great quality and the best part is that is that it folds flat which makes it a lot easier for storage and living in a condo like I do, this is a very important feature even though I have not been able to put it away once ever since it got here. It is one if the ladybugs favorite “toys”. The craftsmanship is outstanding and it actually looks so good that as I mentioned before it is part of my living room furniture right now.

Purse Perfector- Review and Giveaway- Two Winners.

Closed.



Raise your hand if you have ever had problems trying to find something in your purse. A couple of weeks ago , just a day before my trip to the Dominican Republic, I spent 2 hours going crazy looking for my wallet which is really small sized, and just a little bit bigger than a credit card.
I looked everywhere for it and of course, the first place I looked was my over sized handbag . I called my husband to ask him if he have seen it, and even went to the garage to look for it in the car…..I was seriously freaking out, a day before a trip is not the time to lose all your credit cards and ID’S !
After looking inside my purse for the third time, I decided to empty the whole content on the bed in order to finally find my “lost wallet”.
I realized right there that I needed something to avoid this from happening again especially when I was going on a trip all by myself….Customs staff does not like delays in their lines, that is for sure! I need to keep everything accessible and within reach………Purse Perfector was the smartest solution I could find to keep all the items inside my purse easy to reach and prevent them from mischievously “ hiding “ from you .
The purse perfecrtor is a multi pocket bag that you can place inside your bag and keep all items in their own place.
I received an Aqua  Purse Perfector (there are more colors available), for this review and it has 10 different sized pockets plus two pencil pockets and the difference it made in my chaotic purse , is just amazing , the best part is that whenever you need to change purses, you just need to remove the Purse Perfector from one purse to the other ………Yes , one single step and you are done!
The Purse Perfector dimensions: 8" long, 4¼" tall (Short Section) 5¼" tall (Tall Section), fits perfect on medium sizes bags, but you can also use it with bigger bags . This is I have to say one of my most utilized products I have reviewed so far.
Features:
• A zipper forms the center pocket to fit a checkbook, a passport or photos;
• The larger section holds my wallet, pen, reading glasses and sunglasses or make-up;
• The smaller section is the perfect place for phone, notepads, pill bottles, lipsticks, hand sanitizer or business cards, and more;
• The back pocket is handy for allowing quick access to business cards or, while traveling, a hotel key card;
• Unzip two sides for the long, thin profile for briefcase, diaper bag, sport bag or oversize tote;
• Unzip all three sides for a separated bag, smaller purse or fanny pack;
• Because of the stable, flat bottom, it sits upright when changing purses.

The Purse Perfector is made in San Francisco from a high-grade nylon making it sturdy, lightweight and a breeze to wipe clean.
Win it:

SPIbelt- Review.



One thing about going to the gym or going jogging that I am not really crazy about, is the fact that I can’t really have my keys, carry an ID or even money when I am wearing gym clothing and that can be a bit of a pain sometimes.
I have found a product that I honestly think is just genius. The SPIbelt is a belt with a small pouch that at first sight , when its empty it is as wide as the belt itself, but it actually has an expandable belt in which you can keep small items such as your cell phone, keys and yes, also some money or credit card.
I have to admit that the first time I saw the belt, I had my doubts about the functionality of the belt, but after placing the items I think I would need while exercising (my phone and keys ) with no problems at all and still has some free space available in the small pouch, I have completely fallen in love with this little and so helpful tool.
The best part is that unlike the traditional money pouches I have seen before, the Spy belt is really thin and not bulky at all. So I am still comfortable while exercising and have the peace of mind of carrying my things that I need around with me without worrying about misplacing them or having them stolen.
Features:
Sleek, expandable, secure and does not bounce. Can hold an iPod, Blackberry, cell, keys, up to five GU packs, and other small personal items. The SPIbelt does not bounce, ride or shift while running or doing other activities, and it is so comfortable, that I have even forgotten that I was wearing it a few times.
The SPIbelt is great for athletic events, traveling, carrying diabetic supplies, and much more!
Fits Waist 24" - 40+"
Size 45"-55"+ available upon request in the order comment field.
And it comes in many different colors to match your style and personality, a real must have for men and woman that do any kind of exercise!

SkinMedica- Skin Care Products- Review and Giveaway.


Closed


Finding beauty products that gives you the results you are looking for is always a challenge….There are many different products to help our skins, but not all of them can provide the kind of results we might be looking for. Finding the kind of products that help me protect my skin against the factors that can damage it is always a great find.
I have been introduced to a new line of products (new to me, they have been in the market for a while). This product line by SkinMedica contains a great selection of beauty products like:
Anti Aging
Moisturizers
Eye
Cleanse and Tone
Sun Protection
Acne .
This very innovative line of professional skin care products are the result of almost twenty years of research in the skin care field. The SkinMedica Philosophy emphasizes a multi-factorial approach to enhance skin appearance and reduce the signs of aging. This approach encompasses the need for interaction of a complex system of key ingredients to bring about optimal clinical benefits in the shortest period of time….I like this philosophy!
With the use of ingredients such as growth factors, antioxidants, retinoids, essential fatty acids, and hyaluronic acid as well as other molecules naturally found in skin, they have been thoughtfully chosen and incorporated to provide all of the elements necessary for enhancing the natural process of skin rejuvenation.
I had the chance to try three of the SkinMedica products:
TNS Lip Plump System. As with many other women out there, my lips are one of the parts of my face that I neglect the most and that results in some cracked and dry lips more often than I would like to admit, so this was a product that I was really happy to try.
TNS LIP PLUMP SYSTEM composed of two steps:
Step one: Is a moisturizer, the step two : Is a lip Plumper and the combination of these two steps have resulted in an amazing improvement in the way my poor neglected lips have begun to look ever since I started using this great product. The Lip Renewal has fast action lip smoothing and softening effects and improves lip texture and volume. The Plumping action is a great tool to get younger and fuller looking lips.
ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE SUNSCREEN SPF 30+
Protecting your skin against the (UV) rays is always very important, for me living in Florida, this is a must! SkinMedica Environmental Defense provides you with a SPF 30+ and helps you to protect your skin against the very damaging UV rays and over exposure as to environmental pollutants. This product is good for all skin types, hydrates and provides skin with antioxidant protection against free radical damage.
TNS ULTIMATE DAILY MOISTURIZER + SPF 20. Hydration is one of the main concerns I have when it comes to skin care…..Florida’s weather can be a really mean enemy when it come to keeping your skin healthy and hydrated and more than once I have found myself with tight and itchy skin when I have forgotten to apply a moisturizer.
The TNS ULTIMATE DAILY MOISTURIZER + SPF 20 Enriched with natural antioxidants; this moisturizing formula guards against the destructive effects of free radicals and shields your skin against the sun's harmful rays with full spectrum UVA/UVB protection. This is one of my favorite products from SkinMedica (from those I have tried that is). I love the results I am getting with the use of this cream and love the fact that it acts as a moisturizer and a sun protection cream at the same time.
Win it:

Zoobie Pets - Review and Giveaway.

Closed.



While looking for different children’s room decoration products, I came across a very particular website……Zoobies. Zoobies were created by two young brothers who shared a similar desire to invent something for kids that was fun, innovative, and functional. And that is exactly what these two brothers have achieved with their adorable Zoobies.
Zoobies are the perfect combination between a plush toy and a very soft blanket……And we all know that those are two favorites among the little ones. The Zoobies are extremely easy to use by just unfastening the Velcro latches and your Zoobies goes from a huggable toy to a soft pillow and if you unzip the zippers at the bottom, then it becomes a really soft blanket!
The fold up process is really easy and can pretty much be done in three steps, the Zoobies comes with instructions on how to fold them back up in case you have any problems finding the way of how to do it by yourself.
The selection of the adorable little animals makes it close to impossible to pick only one favorite.
When I had the chance to pick one of the Zoobies for the ladybug, I had a real hard time deciding, so I let her choose a Zoobie and she decided she wanted Jafaru the Giraffe and I have to say that she made a great choice, the little guy is just adorable!
There are many occasions in which a Zoobie would be a great companion and traveling in the car is just one of them. The Zoobies remind me of those little lovies for babies but in a bigger scale.
Zoobies are great for decorating the kid’s room and the best part is that you can actually use it not only for decorating your kid’s bed, dresser or night stand, but also to keep your little one warm and cozy….This is definitely a great product and an awesome baby shower or birthday present. Zoobies can be found at different retailers across the country and in their online store.
Stay posted for their new characters coming this Fall, you will love them!
Win it:

K-NEX Construction Sets- Review and Giveaway. 10 Different sets for one winner.

Closed.

Have you heard about a company named K-NEX? I would love to introduce to this great company if you haven’t and maybe give you a little more information about them if you already know about them.
K-NEX offers you an awesome array of block designs for kids ages 2 and up! The ladybug always loved blocks and that is a love that hasn’t died but instead has grown as she gets older, and I have to admit that I really like the fact that she does…. I really believe that blocks are a great way to help the little one to develop different skills like imagination, pretend play and construction of different figures .
I had the chance to try for a review of the K- NEX blocks, some of the sets they sent me were for the ladybug and the rest for my 10 year old nephew.
I have one word for the K-NEX Sesame Street character’s blocks: Adorable and if you allow me I will include the adjective awesome too! The different characters are just too cute and the very best part , is that they are actually very easy to put together ! Yes, I was able to build the Cookie Monster and Ernie with the help of my little bug…YAY me!
The Sesame Street K-NEX Characters are cute enough that I have actually considered getting the rest of the collection and set them up on top of the ladybugs dresser as part of her room decoration.
The sets for the older kids can be really intricate and lots of fun , with many small pieces to get the designs together is a great way to get the kids to exercise their imagination. What a great idea to keep them away from the computers and video games and have them do an activity that is a great mind an concentration exercise and most of them will not  require any batteries or power supply.
I Love the many different designs that they have to offer which I have to say can be a real project even a team project to put together……A great activity to do and spend time with the kids.
About the company:

K'NEX Brands, L.P. is a privately held company, with the headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. Today, K'NEX is the most innovative and fastest growing construction toy company. Internationally, K'NEX products are distributed in over 30 countries.
