WarmZe’s Amazing Bottle Warmers! (Review & Giveaway)

By · 6 Comments

WarmZe_logo

Have you ever been out and about with your little baby and tried giving him/her a bottle with breast milk/formula that was cold? Did they turn it away and spit it out? My little guy will NOT drink cold breast milk! He will spit it out and start to cry. When we are out and about and I try to give him the pumped breast milk in a bottle, it HAS to be warm! Or he gets very upset :(

WarmZe

What is a mom to do? It is not like there are bottle warmers available everywhere, when you are out and about! To make things easier for mom and make baby content, there is WarmZe. WarmZe is an amazing bottle warmer. We received WarmZe to review and man this is an awesome invention :)

WarmZe‘s amazing bottle warmers produce natural heat without the use of batteries, electrical outlets, microwaves and stoves! Perfect for on the go!! It is super quick and effective and mom and baby are happy again :)

warmze bottle warmers

All you do is place the prepared bottle into the BottleSOC, wrap the air activated warmer around it and then pull the outer layer of the BottleSOC over it. A perfectly warmed bottle will be ready in thirty minutes or less and is never overheated! The gradual warmth of this process ensures that the contents don’t become too hot and lose their nutritional value.

This is easy to use and works perfectly. The air activated warmer lasts a long time too. You can even prepare a bottle at bedtime and have it ready to go for early morning feedings without having to stumble around in the dark! When you don’t need it anymore and it is still warm (stays warm for up to 10 hours!), lay it on your aching muscles or use it like I did, when I had mastitis (of course always use a small towel between the warmer and your skin), I used it on my breast to help take the pain away and to help my milk duct open again. Lots of uses for the warmer, after you are done using it for the bottle!

WarmZe offers a large starter kit, large warmer packs, small starter kit, and small warmer packs. The kit comes with 2 warming compresses and a chic-cover that protects the bottle and those little hands! The chic-covers are so cute! They come in a few different patterns to choose from.

It also has a citrus-y scent,  kind of reminds me of a creamsicle :) Yum!

It comes in a 1 0z. pump bottle and you really don’t need a whole lot when you use it. So, you won’t be going through this quickly unless you put some on your neck and chest area too (I do this!). This nutrient-infused facial cream and is ideal for daily use (I use it morning and night right now).

About The Cream:

Mia Mariu Review And Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Renee Sexton #937!!

 

Mia is a Dallas based health and beauty social selling company that offers entrepreneurial business opportunities for women. I was contacted by Mia Mariu and asked if I would like to review for them, of course I said yes, I love beauty and I love that they offer business opportunities to women :)

 

Mia Mariu‘s natural health and beauty products are only available exclusively through their Independent Advisers and of course, online. Their vision was to create a business for women who wanted a contemporary and progressive way to make money without sacrificing time with family. They offer stylish and lucrative home-based business opportunity that is fun and rewarding and is a powerful way to help you make money, make new friends and reach your personal success. Sounds pretty cool!

I was sent a few products to check out. Now, since I already just adore all things beauty, I knew I would more than likely like what was in the box. Indeed I did :) I was sent the Luminous Lip Gloss Ilusión, Mineral Eye Shadow Duo Rosa Marquesa and the RestauraCel-C Thermal Microdermabrasion Set.

I want to first talk about the awesome RestauraCel-C Thermal Microdermabrasion Set only because I am so impressed with it. What it is, is a two piece set. The little tub has the granules in it for the scrubbing part, the bottle has the serum type stuff in it for putting over the granules and rubbing in a circular motion. This is your gentle at home alternative to microdermabrasion. It works very well and helps my skin look and feel absolutely soft and silky feeling. I use this 2-3 times a week and love it.

About The RestauraCel-C Microdermabrasion Set (Taken from their site):

RestauraCel-C delivers dramatic skin restoration benefits with our powerful Vitamin C micro resurfacing spheres plus deep thermal action that warms the skin to help open, purify and minimize pores as well as remove dead skin cells aiding in the penetration of other products. Suitable for all skin types, non-irritating, oil-free <—LOVE the oil-free part :)

The  Luminous Lip Gloss Ilusión is just gorgeous too. It is kind of sticky though, so I just add a tiny amount of Vaseline over it and it totally takes away the stickiness, so try that :) The color is a coppery color and looks really pretty on my lips. It does not dry out my lips or irritate them in any way. It has a nice sparkling shine in a vitamin rich hydrating formula, that gives your lips an irresistible look. It contains Vitamin A, C and E to nourish your lips.

Last, but not least is the Mineral Eye Shadow Duo Rosa Marquesa. It goes onto my eyelids with ease and stays put. It might end up creasing towards the end of the day, but that is to be expected. I love the way it looks on my eyes. This is a pure minerals eye shadow and it has gorgeous color pigments in it.

Not sure what colors are for you? Then visit the Mia Mariu find your perfect shade page and get it right before you buy!

Summer produce flourishes with Whitney Farms Plant Food

By ·

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Whitney Farms for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Summer is a great time to plant produce.  I will be planting tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers and more during this amazing season.  My family loves fresh produce in our recipes but they especially love the taste of organic vegetables. As we try to become healthier in our eating habits, organic is definitely the way to go. That’s where organic soil comes in handy.  I love Whitney Farms®!

Whitney Farms is more beneficial versus regular soil as it adds natural and organic matter to the soil.  Your plants and produce will grow faster, healthier and organic.  You can use it on vegetables, flowers, trees and more.  My favorite is definitely the organic plant food.  It feeds your plants with protein based nitrogen and not heavy manure.  The organic plant food helps enhance our natural plant food by assisting in the breakdown of organic matter into nutrients.  The protein based blends are specifically designed to provide your plants with both macro and micronutrients they need to grow and thrive.  What better to use on your garden?

As I’ve seen many people use Whitney Farms organic plant food, I expect my tomato garden to look similar to this:

I plan to start my garden in mid May.  Start your garden too with Whitney Farms.  They are offering a $3 coupon on their website.  Just click on any of the links above to claim yours!

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Patricia Wojnar Crowley #885!!

 

Fiafini products will give women everywhere access to remarkable skin. If you have fine lines, crows feet or any signs of aging, Fiafini natural skincare can help you with those and more!

Fiafini is tested with real woman to guarantee miraculous anti-aging results. Along with deeply hydrating desert botanicals and cactuses, proven antioxidants such as green tea and avocado, Fiafini harnesses the power of Marula Oil to give your skin advanced anti-aging and antioxidant protection that delivers visible benefits and results that you will see and feel. How’s that for skincare??

I received the Fiafini Delicate Cleansing Emulsion and the Fiafini Divine Hydration Moisturizer to review several weeks ago. Since my skin is showing those dreaded signs of aging, I was eager to try out these two products. First night I tried out the Fiafini Delicate Cleansing Emulsion. This is a very lightweight cleanser and is nice for sensitive skin such as my own. It quickly dissolved my makeup leaving my skin feeling refreshed and CLEAN. It is fragrance and  alcohol, mineral oil, and all parabens free. Also there is no animal testing, which is very nice. This cleanser definitely is gentle and cleans really well for it to be a cream cleanser.

Then I used the Fiafini Divine Hydration Moisturizer. It too, is fragrance free and great for sensitive skin. This is a hydrating and healing moisturizer that firms, minimizes wrinkles and restores elasticity. I really like how it goes on my skin. It is light and blends in nicely leaving my skin feeling very soft and moisturized. No greasy residue at all and since I break out easily, I was happy about that.  This moisturizer helps soothe and calm redness too, so it is kind of an all in one kind of moisturizer!

So, after using these products, I feel that my skin is softer and looks radiant. I am happy with these products and think that you will like them too. It is always fun to find new products that work well for my skin.

Juice Beauty: Organics To Clear Skin Review And A Giveaway Too!

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

kendra Gillilan #1522!!

Gotta love clear skin and trust me when I say I have tried them all! Most of them work amazingly well and some not-so-much. If you have acne prone skin, I am sure you have been there and tried that too!

Why not try a product or products that are safe, natural and organic, instead of using harsh chemicals? I am all for it, so I tried out Juice Beauty Organics To Clear Skin Kit. I had a few pimples on that there chin of mine, so this arrived at a glorious time for me.

This kit is a 30 day supply that is the perfect organic solution to clear up that skin of yours! You are only 4 steps away from clear, smooth and healthy skin! This kit includes a clarifying blemish clearing cleanser, exfoliating green apple peel (LOVE this!!), replenishing blemish clearing serum and lightweight oil-free moisturizer. Also includes a bonus eco-bamboo wash cloth that is oh-so-soft!!!! This kit is perfect for oily and blemish prone skin like mine.

The cleansing gel is wonderful. It really gets into my pores and cleans my makeup off my face very well. It rinses clean and my face feels soft, clean and fresh after I use the cleansing gel. Next I use the Green Apple Peel, I ran out recently, but I would use this once a week. What this does is helps to exfoliate to reduce breakouts, discolorations and fine lines. This heals while hydrating with rejuvenating algae, vitamins and antioxidants for a smooth, glowing complexion.My face was certainly very soft after using this once a week. Loved this stuff!

The Blemish Clearing Serum is a very  powerful organic fruit acid complex with salicylic acid from willow bark, that unclogs pores, reduces your breakouts and lightens scars while the  organic aloe, CoQ10 and fat-soluble Vitamin C renew the skin for a healthy, clear complexion. I use this every night after cleansing. My skin loves this serum and helps limit my breakouts on that silly chin of mine.

Last but certainly not least, is the fabulous Oil-Free Moisturizer. This is certainly my good friend! It is non-greasy and my skin NEEDS none-greasy lotions. My face drinks up this oil-free facial lotion and my skin is soft and supple after using this stuff. I just adore this stuff! It doesn’t irritate my skin and is organic too! This is a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer that has blends of organic grape and aloe juices, purifying botanicals and antioxidants to moisturize, soothe redness, heal breakouts and restore the skin’s natural balance. Perfect for oily skin.

So, as you can see, this is a really neat little acne fighting kit! I really like it and definitely see nice changes in my skin tone and clarity of my skin.
