prAna Clothing -Review and Giveaway.
Closed.
One of the great things about losing weight is that you have a great and very valid excuse to buy new clothes…. Did I tell you that I’ve lost 14 pounds….So yes I get to go shopping! And I have found a great place to get a young, modern and sassy new wardrobe. prAna offers a great variety of unique designs with a very appealing combination of colors and designs, great for every day wear.
The prAna designs are made with high quality materials and the variety in the prints and designs makes this line a great option if you are looking to get some clothing items for this summer, then take a look at their dresses , casual tops and shorts.
I was able to try the Cleo dress in Blue Haze and this dress is as comfortable as can be and totally adorable. Who says that cute and comfortable can’t go hand in hand? The dress has wide straps and a cross-front bodice, with reverse white tie-dye on the hem. I Love the design which is very flattering and totally love the color.
And they also sent me the really cute Lola Sport Top. With criss-cross straps, shirred bodice and built-in bra this top is great to exercise in or to wear under an open shirt….Me, I am planning to wear it to the pool this summer. The different prints on this design makes an absolute must have in a solid color or one of the bold prints it comes in. Did I mention that is also very comfortable and looks awesome?

SlimPerfect Active Wear - Review and Giveaway.
Closed.
SlimPerfect Inc. developed a versatile yet unique line of swimwear/activewear that is designed by a woman for women and was inspired by the need to feel comfortable, confident and sophisticated all the while providing the quality and options women today deserve.
All SlimPerfect separates are manufactured in the USA with top of the line Brazilian fabric. The separates line can be utilized as either swimwear or activewear and many are interchangeable so the versatility and options women have is second to none!
I gained….A few extra pounds when I had my daughter, so let’s say I am not in the shape I used to be and even though I have lost some weight, I still have some work to do and getting clothes that would help me look better while I reach my goal is certainly something that I am really interested in.
DH is giving the ladybug swimming lessons every week, so I see us hanging out by the pool very often this summer, so when I found out about the SlimPerfect clothing line I knew this was something that would work great for me.
I had the chance to try a couple of different pieces of their collection and I loved the versatility on the clothes. I wore the Navy/White SlimDress to go to lunch with the in-laws and then go straight to the beach without feeling out of place. The dress features sewn in bike shorts for additional taming and coverage which works just great. I spent all afternoon playing with the ladybug in the sand and felt great about myself at the same time. This classic and modest dress can be worn for swim wear or active wear.
• SlimDress features include:
Removable molded gel-filled bra cups for added support and lift. All around elastic empire waist also enhances the support. Sewn in pockets may be used for post mastectomy forms as well.
• This shape wear garment includes tummy tamer panel lined with powernet mesh for added control.
• Features sewn in bike shorts for additional taming and coverage instead of a brief under the dress. This smooths out the thighs, inner leg and buttocks for a slimming look. This feature tames the bulges without moving them to other areas.
• Longer length for more coverage. Approx 33” from shoulder to hem.
• Nylon/Spandex. Hand wash.
• Brazilian fabric
• MADE IN THE USA
One other piece I loved was their Black /White Sleeve Tankini . The top features really lightweight sleeves, removable gel- filled bra cups to enhance the bust( I remove them and still love the way it looks) and the very best feature is the comfortable tummy tamer!

WellnessMats- Review and Giveaway.
Closed.
I have mentioned many times about my back issues and if any of you suffer from back problems, then you will know that when you spend some time standing up, your back doesn’t appreciate it…..I cook from scratch and that means that I do spend a good amount of time in front of the stove….And again after a while standing up, my back starts to act up…..
A few weeks ago I found a website called Wellnessmats. This is the information I got from their website and what got my attention to this product:
“WellnessMat dramatically reduces the fatigue and discomfort associated with long term or stationary standing. The unique one piece construction has a soft inner design structure that serves as a preventative approach against potential back, leg, and foot problems. Our revolutionary concept interacts with the body by suspending your body weight thus reducing impact on the joints. Your weight will frequently shift and rebalance itself, reducing the stress and strain of many daily activities. The Wellness Mat promotes better posture, proper circulation, muscle conditioning and a sense of well being.”
It sounded so…..Good! So I contacted them to see if they would be interested in a product review, and they agreed! So I received a 3’x 2’ mat that I have placed in front of my stove and I have to say that I love the non slip features, but above all I have really noticed a difference with my back. I love the results I am getting from this mat, and I have actually have been thinking about getting another one.
3 x 2 is just the perfect size for a small place like mine, you can use them in many different places where you need to be standing up like the kitchen, the laundry room or any other room you might needed…..I wish they would have something like this when I worked in the hotel!
The design is really simple and it would match pretty much any décor you have. The mats come in 5 different colors and each color is different sizes to adapt to your needs. And they are incredibly easy to clean.
What Makes The WellnessMats, The Ultimate Anti-Fatigue Mat Available?
Proven in some of the toughest commercial environments throughout the country, WellnessMats are ergonomically engineered to provide maximum comfort, safety, relief and well-being while you stand, wherever you stand.
With WellnessMats, you have the only mat that promises the following:
• Unmatched comfort
• Easy to clean
• Will always lay flat
• Stain resistant
• No-trip beveled edge
• Heat resistant • Bacteria resistant
• No unfriendly odors
• Non-slip top
• Will not discolor
• Non-skid bottom
• And a 7 Year Warranty!
Buy it:
To see this and the other WellnessMats designs, please visit: WellnessMats.
Win it:
Wellnessmat has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a 2 x 3 mat, a 120.00 value.
To enter this giveaway please visit: WellnessMats and tell me something you’ve learned from their website and which color mat would go better with your decoration. This is mandatory to participate.

Goblin Kids Toys- Review and Giveaway.
Closed.
I am always on the lookout for websites that offer durable, safe, educational toys for kids and I honestly get really excited each time I come across a store that meets that criteria, and that is exactly the case with the Goblin Kids store.
Goblin Kids offers you an amazing selection of wooden toys, furniture and room décor and of course dolls and stuffed toys for the little ones to love and enjoy. The toys are further crafted in a way that they encourage the imagination, creativity, and development of fine motor skills that is so important to each age group. I am always trying to encourage the ladybug’s imagination, so this is certainly the kind of toys I am interested in getting for my little lady.
I had the chance to try the Large Threading & Lacing Game from Vilac and the game consists of 6 wooden threading animals ( camel, lion, tiger, lion, elephant and a giraffe), the game is intended for kids 3+ and helps the kids to improve their motor skills and I have to say that the game looks very simple, but is actually a lot of fun for the little ones. The ladybug totally loves it and she is not quite able to do the threading just yet, but likes mommy to help her do it.
She has also came up with different games that she plays with the animals and one of them is even a card game….I know, that is what I call imagination! We also play a game to name each animal (she is really good she names 4 out of the 6…..She keeps calling the zebra a seahorse!).
We also match the threads with the color matching animal…..As I have said we have lots of fun with it! One more thing I really like about this game is the fact that it comes with a box to keep the animals and the cords in.
Dimensions:
Wooden Box: L 9.5 x W 9.5 x H 1.25 in
Lion: H 7.25 x W 6 in
Camel: H 7 x W 6 in
Zebra: W 7 x H 6.25 in
Tiger: H 6.25 x W 6 in
Giraffe: H 7.25 x W 6 in
Elephant: W 7.25 x H 5.25 in

Pevonia Botanica Lip Rescue- Review and Giveaway.
Closed.
A few months ago I did a product review for a company called Pevonia Botanica. Pevonia Botanica is an elite spa-exclusive natural skincare brand offered by prestigious spas worldwide. They offer an extensive selection of in-spa treatments that address your every concern and deliver an unsurpassed spa experience, while for-home products help you maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin. Pevonia Botanica is passionately committed to providing effective skincare solutions to teens, women, and men of every age and ethnicity.
Pevonia International believes that protecting and preserving the planet is a global responsibility. The Pevonia Botanica brand maintains a harmonious balance with nature and its precious resources by offering natural, cruelty-free formulations (no animal testing) within eco-packaging (fully recyclable and biodegradable). See the complete review HERE.
I have been looking for a product would help me to hydrate and …..Rescue my poor lips….Yes I do not pay the attention I should and the result is cracked sensitive lips….Not a good thing especially because I tend to bite my lips.
I decided to contact Pevonia and asked them if they had such a product…They recommended two products to help me achieve my goal and they would let me review both of them! Was I happy? Yes I was, but my lips were even happier!
Age-defy! Youthful Lip Cream combines the repairing effects of Retinol with regenerating Collagen and Elastin, to smooth lines, hydrate, prevent wrinkles, and even coloring. Your lips are rendered smoothly toned and lusciously rejuvenated.
Youthful Lip Retinol. SerumYouthful expression! Highly active, this microemulsified gel with time-release Retinol sphérulites, visibly brightens and redefines your lip contour. Anti-aging, Youthful Lip Retinol Serum counteracts wrinkles and creases around this delicate area to promote younger, healthier-looking lips.
I had neglected my lips long enough that they were beyond dry…To the point that smiling actually hurt…I know , that is bad, so you will understand that I was more than willing to try this products and see if they would give me the result I was looking for.
I use the Pevonia combination at night before going to bed. After the first night that I started to use the products I could tell the difference. My lips health was visibly improved and felt…….better than they have in a long time.
They were definitely more hydrated and they look a lot better also, and that was after just one night! These products are awesome, I had my lips looking healthy and absolutely great in about a weekend after I started to use the products. At first you get a little funny taste in your mouth, but nothing really bad and both products are absorbed very quickly.
I really liked the Pevonia Botanica products the first time I tried and I am certainly impressed with the results I am getting from the lip treatment!

Hapari Swimsuit- 85.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway.
Closed
So the summer days are here and living in Florida they are going to be HOT. DH is giving the ladybug swimming classes and they are going up to the pool at least once a week, so I am expecting to spend a lot of time in the pool in the next few months……So I need a bathing suit!
I have lost 14 pounds in the last month and a half, but even though I am definitely not ready for a bikini, I want a bathing suit that is sexy without being too revealing and that I can feel comfortable wearing…..Well DH has been on my case about getting a swimsuit but I kept postponing buying one until last Sunday. We spent the day at a water park for the ladybug’s birthday and I wore Capri pants and a polo.
I realized that I couldn’t postpone it any longer and started searching for a swimsuit…….Hapari has some of the cutest swimsuits I have been able to find. The Hapari Tankinis are not only very attractive, but they are equally modest; a really hard combination to find. The more I look at the different designs, the more I realize that these are what I have been looking for this summer.
Love the different designs, the prints and the sassy color combinations. And, I especially love the variety in the designs that would let me choose between a V neck, round neck or even a square cut top…..Not to mention that these Tankinis would look awesome if you have a Bo Dereck figure or what I call an after baby figure.
The hard part now is to decide which one to pick, I have a few favorites:
Black Aloha V-Neck Tankini
Aqua Bay S.O.S. Tankini
Metro S.O.S. Tankini (Brown Trim)
I still don’t know which one to choose…..I love them all! And they also have bikinis for those lucky ones that can wear one!
The great news? Hapari has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader the chance to win an 85.00 gift certificate to buy any Tankini you want…Sounds good doesn’t it?
To enter this giveaway, you need to head over to the Hapari’s website and tell me which design you will pick if you are the winner of this giveaway. This is mandatory to participate.

Looking for a Wicker Chest!
I have been looking for a nice wicker chest that is not sinfully expensive, but it is harder than I thought. Then, I remembered that CSN Stores has one of the biggest selection of….Basically anything that I have seen. I have been browsing their website and even though I was looking for a chest, I couldn’t help but take a look around and loved their bathroom vanity selection…….Maybe I can convince DH of a little bathroom renovation…..

Rileyroos Baby Shoes- Review and Giveaway.
Closed.
I am and always will be very picky when it comes to choosing my shoes and even more so when it comes to baby shoes for the very simple reason that I want to promote the healthy development of such an important part of the body as the feet are.
I have recently had the chance to try a pair of shoes from Rileyroos shoes and I would like to talk to you a little bit about the company:
Rileyroos’ design inspiration comes from a combination of European fashion trends and American spirit and casualness. They designed the line to imitate barefoot walking and to protect little feet. The sole of a Rileyroos shoe is flexible and its rubber-padded sole curls above the toes to provide leverage as a child begins crawling. Unlike many heavy or bulky first walking shoes, Rileyroos’ lightweight construction and protective bottoms support a child’s foot as he or she starts walking and provides traction to prevent falls on slippery surfaces.
I was given the chance to pick a pair of shoes from the different designs offered by Rileyroos which I have to say are just adorable and among a few favorites was the Quinn design which I picked in a navy blue color for my baby nephew.
A modern spin on the classic penny loafer –The shoe’s uppers are crafted of soft leather with white stitching that makes shoes even more attractive. Designed to imitate barefoot walking, these shoes have a flexible leather sole with rubber padding to protect little feet. The sole curls above little toes to provide leverage as little ones make their natural gravitation from sitting to crawling to walking.
The shoes are extremely light weight and feature Velcro closure which makes the process of putting on and take off the shoes a lot easier and when you are dealing with a very active non cooperative little one that is definitely a plus. One of my very favorite features of the shoe is the design on the soles that provides the little ones with a better grip.
The shoes are really comfortable and I can tell you that my nephew loved them…..How do I know? Well, he was jumping up and down when I put the shoes on……So I have to say that he did like them.
The craftsmanship and the quality in the material used on the shoes is outstanding and is the kind of shoes I would be confident to get for my baby girl or my baby nephew in this case. Shoe sizes range from 3 to 24 months.
The shoes feature:
-Handcrafted with high quality, durable leather uppers
with white offset stitching - Super soft and lightweight
- Padded leather collars for added comfort
- Leather linings for breathability
- Flexible and form-fitting leather outsoles with
rubber padding
Win it:
Rileyroos has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a pair of shoes of the winner’s choice.
To enter this giveaway, please visit: Rileyroos and tell me which design you would pick if you win this giveaway. This is mandatory to participate.

Justice Juels Handmade Jewelry -Review and Giveaway.
Closed.
I am a definite fan of handmade jewelry and I am always looking to find stores that offer high quality products that are also attractive. A few weeks ago I found a store called Justice Jeuels and the name caught my attention right away, and when I saw the different pieces they have in the website, I knew I had found a great store. I then found out what the Justice Juels stands for, and then I was certain this was going to be a favorite.
Justice Juels was founded by Chelsea Dischinger, a stay-at-home mom who had a desire to make a difference with her life. Once she learned about the horrific Human Trafficking Industry she decided to start a company to support her family and help raise money for this cause. Justice Juels is a for-profit company who donates more than 50% of their profits to organizations who are involved in the fight to abolish Human Trafficking worldwide.
Each piece of jewelry is hand-made with the finest materials and can be custom ordered in various sizes, styles and colors. Specializing in custom jewelry the options are endless. Do you have a favorite dress that you need the perfect necklace to match? You can send them a picture of the dress and they will make a custom necklace for you. Did you see a design you really liked but could not afford it? Send them a picture and they will make something similar for a fraction of the price.
It is like having your own jewelry designer! The designs offered in the justice juels are modern, sassy and very tasteful with prices that are unbeatable. It is actually a great deal and at the same time it is for a great cause…..I love the idea that the money I use to get myself a piece of jewelry is also the same money that would go to help people in great need….
I had the chance to review the Hammered Necklace and love it. The pendant is a little smaller than what it appears on the picture which makes it very modern without being obnoxious. I absolutely love it and it is a great accessory for many different outfit styles. It looks awesome with a low cut top and jeans, the perfect accessory for every day wear. They also have the matching earrings if you want to make it a set.
Win it:

Faber-Castell and Creativity for Kids- Paint by Number- Review and Giveaway.
Closed.
A few months ago I did a review for one of the many products that Faber-Castell offers for young kids. The Hallowing Shrinky Dinks were a hit in my house, so when a few weeks ago they asked me if I was interested in doing a review on a new product, I immediately said yes!
Faber-Castell's Paint by Number is a great way to promote your kid’s creativity and artistic side. These guided art activities are also a great activity for those days that the kids will be indoors and you want to keep them away from the TV.
The set features:
• Real Canvas Board 9 in x 9 in
• 8 Acrylic Paints
• Artist Quality Paintbrush
• Painting Number Guide
• Foam Mounting Board 10.5 in x 10.5 in
• Double-sided Mounting Tape
And as with my previous experience with the Faber Castell products , the experience was very enjoyable. The ladybug is too young for this kind of activity (recommended age is 8 -98) and since I am in that age range, I decided to do the project myself with some help of my little bug….We had a great time doing it and even though the painting may have ended up a little messy and with colors in places they were not supposed to be, we loved it!
There are 6 sets in the line with various themes. You can see this Faber-Castell product and others on the Creativity for Kids website.
Win it:
Faber- Castell and Creativity forKids has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a paint by number set of choice.

This Etsy store is a one stop shop for your handmade unique and totally cute bags you might be looking for. With lots of designs and prints to choose from, Mahandbags is one of those stores that you go to visit over and over again.
I had the chance to try one of her Handmade Handbags- small shoulder bag in black background and red-off white prints and gold details. The bag is great for occasions when you do not want to carry a big purse and I think it’s just great to wear with jeans or any casual outfit.
The bag is made with 100% cotton upholstery material, lined with 100% cotton calico. It features a magnetic snap closure and it comes with two inside pockets and the handles are braided with
faux leather. It’s very comfortable and lightweight.
You know I am always looking at quality and craftsmanship. And this bag is for sure one I can’t complain about, with great attention to detail and high quality materials.
The print selection on the different designs is tastefully done and playful, giving you the opportunity to pick between lots of different great choices. The combinations are certainly adorable and very attractive.
