Beco Carrier Giveaway

Babywearing is an act of love. It keeps baby comfy, close to your heartbeat and everyone happy. In addition to the many benefits of babywearing, baby carriers come in amazing designs, prints and patterns. One very popular type is the soft structured carriers (SSCs). They’re easy to put on and take off, and have comfortable padded shoulder straps. It’s my go-to for supermarket shopping and trips to the park. Beco Baby Carriers are well known soft structured baby carriers (SSC) and the Soleil goes from 7-45lbs. With the snap
of two buckles this carrier is easy to take on and off for shopping,
going on a walk or simply getting things done at home like eating!

Bodylicious Skin Review

As a mother I try to enjoy my alone time as much as humanly possible. Those precious rare moments when the house is still, kids are asleep and I have the motivation to stay awake I try to seize the moment and take what I call my ‘tub time’. I relax in the bathtub with some fun spa like products, a cool glass of water or warm cup of tea and a good book. That to me is one of the highlights of my adult life (my 21 year old self would be laughing at this I am pretty sure).

I am currently in love with Bodylicious Skin products. Theses fun bath and beauty items are available through Etsy and are priced perfectly. So many times I find great products but I cannot afford to keep buying them over and over again. With Bodylicious Skin, they price their products reasonably so that you can use them daily, not only as special occasion treats.

Shirley is the owner of Bodylicious Skin and she makes of each product herself. Using a super high standard her quality control is on point. Nothing gets shipped out unless its perfect. The smells, textures, ingredients all are thoughtfully chosen and made with the end product in mind. Shirley has an auto immune disease, which limits the amount and types of products which she can use. She experimented for a while and started to make her own products so that she can enjoy bath products without harming herself. She makes all her products in a completely sanitized environment, which makes all the difference really.

Bodylicious products are made fresh, and scents can be made to order!

Mama’s Experience

full set bodylicious

I was able to experience 4 different types of products from Bodylicious. My products arrived on a hot Ohio day, but the each of the products were still in great shape. The body butter and the whipped soap didn’t become an oily or runny mess. This really stood out to me. The ingredients held up and that is pretty cool to a consumer like me.

Body Butter

Body Butter Bodylicious

I have to use a good moisturizer on my legs after shaving. Its just how my body is. In the winter I have to use it because, heck its winter and dry! In the summer I need it because after I shave my legs they need that extra moisture to feel comfortable. My hands need moisture every so often because of the million sink fulls of dishes I do daily.  What I love about Bodylicious Skin’s Body Butter is how smooth is feels, how quickly it absorbs and there is no greasy after feeling.

The Body Butter’s contain high amounts of rich minerals, and hydrovance – a natural ingredient that delivers a immediate and long-lasting hydration more effectively than Glycerin.

Fluffy Whipped Soap

bodylicious cotton candy whipped soap

This Fluffy Whipped Soap is the top seller at Bodylicious Skin, and I can totally see why. I have heard of and touched soap aerial cotton candywhipped soap products before. This whipped soap is in a class of it’s own. It looks like it will dissolve when you touch it. As if my warm hands and body oil would cause it to melt at the slightest touch. But when you do touch it, it holds it’s integrity while being silky smooth. It really blows my mind. It easily spreads over your skin, creating the nice lather you desire in a soap, and adding a soft cotton candy scent to your skin and the showers atmosphere. I let my 3 year old daughter use this soap and she felt like a real princess. This would be a perfect gift for that toddler who doesn’t need ‘another’ toy. Its functional, fun and special. Plus their parents will be super grateful for a useful gift.

When you use this whipped soap you need much less than you may think. I have used other brands of body butters before. It takes a great handful to spread around and get the soapy clean effect you crave. With Bodylicious Skin’s Body Butter I took just a pea sized to a dime sized sized amount my first time using it. Just to see how it was going to feel and work. To my surprise that tiny amount washed my entire leg and both arms! I bet it would have kept spreading and lathering. The value of this product is outstanding. You want it because its fun, pretty and smells awesome. You need it because it’s a value that is worth every penny.

 

Bubble Bar

bubble bar bodylicious

Bubble Bars are a really cool bath time treat. You break off as much or as little as you want and crumble them in the water that is filling your tub. As the water then fills into your tub the bar bites slowly fill your tub with creamy bubbles that smell out of this world! This particular bar is Cotton Candy scented, which is one of the best smells in the entire world in my opinion. This bubble bar is a super generous size, as you can see in the image below. At 3+ ounces, you really get a ton for your money. The stronger your water pressure is the more bubbles you get. If you want more just agitate the water by hand (which I tried and it totally works) to get more bubbles. This is also a great product for children. It makes bath time even more exciting and its safe for their sensitive skin. If you are allergic to a certain item just let Bodylicious Skin know and she can make you a custom bar at no additional charge!

Bath Bomb

bomb bodylicious

bomb in hand bodyliciousBath bombs are literally my personal favorite tub time type of product. I love to watch them dissolve. Smell all the scents en-captured being released into my tub water and into the atmosphere.  Its so exciting and yet calming simultaneously. It creates the type of escape I strive for in my alone time. This bomb hit all key aspects I desire. It created a fun and calming environment. I loved soaking in the soft, elegant water that was created. The smells were so feminine and beautiful I felt like I was in a 1900’s Victorian setting.

What is great about Bodylicious Skin bath bombs is that they are freshly made to order! These are made for you individually. The are not stale, sitting around for months or years. You can tell the difference in because when you touch them tiny granules of the bomb flake off (which is natural, and a good thing). They are huge in size, making them have the punch you want in your bath bomb. Some smaller bombs you need to use two to get the effect, but not with Bodylicious Skin’s! These are made for maximum enjoyment.

Dinky Dives Fathers Day Review

Dinky Dives Fathers Day Review

Review

Dinky Dives is the children’s clothing line within Deep Dive Threads. Deep Dives Threads specialized in the softest tee’s with humorous designs that don’t go overboard. So many graphic tee’s have too much going on. Too loud of a logo that takes up too much space on a tee-shirt that can borderline on being obnoxious. Owner and designer, Don, wanted to create a line of men’s and women’s clothing that was fun and modern but without being too commercial. After having large success with their adult line they have branched out into children’s onesies, and man are we excited about it!

Dinky Dives

Dinky Dives has a huge selection of awesome onesies for the cool kids in your life. From Disney to Marvel, they have the topics you want. They have the rights to use some amazing themes, images and fonts which really make them stand out from every other baby oneises on the market. The only other ones we were thinking about were the kigurumi.co ones, but they’re a little too warm for the weather around here. Sitll, their onesies are made with the super soft material that the adult tee’s are made with, giving that child their most cozy outfit ever.

With Father’s Day here moms are looking for that fun and special gift for their husband. Thankfully, Dinky Dives has created some amazing Daddy-and-Me sets just for this Father’s Day! You can find a ton of cool options for fathers, grandfathers and your child. Mixing and matching makes things more fun. Adding some fun extra gifts to go alongside what Dinky Dives offers could help make a great outfit for the man in your life. Looking at an idea for father’s day can be a struggle sometimes so make sure you shop around. Getting the right gifts to go with Dinky Dives father and son sets will make your man’s day. What’s great about these is that the sets are not identical. Dad’s aren’t typically big into wearing literally the same thing as their kid. But a set that is themed together makes it fun and cool.

The new Captain America: Civil War has been such a hit that Dinky Dives keeps selling out and rushing to make more of their amazing Captain American Costume Combo

Captain America Set

If Star Wars is what your guy loves, then the Star Wars 77 Retro Tee, Yoda Inspired, Jedi Master Onesie or the Star Wars Inspired Jedi Knight Onesie may be just the token for this Father’s Day. This is a great set for families with multiple children.

For the Potterheads there is the Harry Potter’s Mommy Snitch Combo

For those with a quick agenda there is The Flash Combo

My husband was able to sport the classic ’77’ Star Wars Tee. He was also wearing his Star Wars belt buckles, which made our 2 year old way excited and he ‘had’ to touch it during our photo taking. Its always smart to start your Star Wars obsession at a young age #RaiseThemRight

My son, the 2 year old, is sporting the ‘Jedi Knight‘ onesie. As soon as I put it on him, he began to hum the Star Wars theme song and his big sister yelled out, “Look! He is Luke now!” My husband and I grinned at their young ability to recognize the character strictly by their clothing. Solid move kid, solid move.

Cuff Daddy Fathers Day Review

Cuff-Daddy is my favorite place to get unique and special cufflinks for my husband. My husband is a salesman and wears a suite every day. Many men who wear suits every day like to have little things to make them stand out. Conversation pieces. That is exactly what Cuff-Daddy cufflinks are. They add a little flair to their business attire without overpowering the outfit. A tie that is too loud or outspoken can be a turn off in any business setting. But putting on a small pair of cufflinks gives you that special something that is not crazy and in-your-face.

Cuff-Daddy cuffclinks are all very high quality. These are not the cheapy ones you many have come across while browsing the internet. Cuff-Daddy only provides links that are made to last, stylish and trending. From classic standards and wrap-around’s to zany novelties and interest themed links, they are sure to have a ton of links that would perfectly fit the man in your life’s style.

Mama’s (and Papa’s) Experience

For Fathers Day this year, my PapatheFox received 2 new pairs of cuff links from Cuff-Daddy.com and here is what we had to say

Sand Timer Cufflinks

Sand Timer

They cufflinks are silver and straight up gorgeous. They are simple and professional with that side of whimsy that is great for everyday wear. They are functional levels with a small amount of sand that glides from one side to the other as gravity allows. These links could help you pass the time while waiting for that conference call to start (or end). They are petite (3/4“ and 5/16“) which is perfect, because you don’t want your cufflinks to be bulky and banging around as you type and work throughout the day. Being a functional cufflink these make great gift for that man who already has everything.

hourglass cufflinks

Retro Telephone Cufflinks

Retro Phones

Among Cuff-Daddys many retro and comical cufflinks, you can find these amazing Retro Telephone Cufflinks. My husband sells telecom for a living and phones (and internet) are his life. He deals with phones and is on the phone all day every day. When we saw this pair of links we knew they would be a hit with not only his co-workers but his customers too. Everyone who has seen these links has nothing but amazing things to say about them. I love how they are a tiny 3D version of the classic phones we used when I was a child (am I showing my age here?). They are large enough to give room for the amazing detail in shape but small enough (1/2″ x 1/2″) to not be bulky or cumbersome. If you are 30 years old or older, then you have many fond memories of these ‘retro’ style telephones. They make the perfect gift for anyone from the 80’s, 70’s and beyond.
