Sponsor Spotlight: Nature's Sleep Slipper - Review


"Nature's Sleep's mission is to provide everybody the opportunity to enjoy a better night's sleep at affordable prices, while maintaining a concern for our environment."

I just love Nature's Sleep's mission statement. Nature's Sleep is a company that looks out for it's customers well-beings, as well as looking out for the environment. Their products are innovative and look beautiful. 

Nature's Sleep products are affordable, and they are high quality. Many of their products are anti-microbial, allergen resistant, anti-bacterial, anti-dust mite, and they are washable. In a house full of allergy ridden people these are such important qualities. 

Nature's Sleep carries a wide variety of products. They carry some amazing looking mattresses. I hope to own one in the future! They also carry pillows, toppers, and foundations. They carry slippers, and they even have petbeds!

I was so excited to be able to review Nature's Sleep's Open-Toe Terry Slippers with Memory Foam! I picked out the Lavender ones.



I have been in need of some new slippers for a long time. I like easy slippers that are warm and comfortable. If I want to wear my slippers all day I want them to be comfortable all day. Nature's Sleep's slippers definitely met my expectations!

The memory foam was amazing! It made the slippers so comfortable for me. I also loved how fuzzy and soft they were. I generally have closed toe slippers but I really love these open toe slippers. I've been wearing them around my house and they are surprisingly supportive.

You can learn more and connect with Nature's Sleep on their website, Facebook, and Twitter. Also, be sure to enter Nature's Sleep's monthly drawing, where they give away on of their products!

The amazing people at Nature's Sleep are giving away one of their pairs of slippers to one of my readers during the "Mother's Day Gift Ideas Giveaway"! The giveaway starts May 1st, don't miss it!

Sponsor Spotlight: Baggallini - Touring Tote Review


I am so excited to introduce you to one of the sponsors for the upcoming "Mother's Day Gift Ideas Giveaway", Baggallini

"Order. Beauty. And the freedom that comes from knowing everything is in its place. With these guiding principles two female flight attendants began baggallini. A perfect blend of thoughtful function and style, baggallini has grown from two world travelers into a worldwide leader in incredibly organized bags and accessories that look as good as they perform. Instantly desirable by women who crave a well ordered life, the freedom it enables, and the beauty it creates."

They have the most beautiful selection of bags available. They have everything from clutches to totes. 

  
They also carry some amazing travel accesories like garment bags, jewelry pouches, and cosmetic bags. I have had so much fun looking through all of their collections. They have gorgeous designs, and so many great features. 

I was very excited when I was given the chance to review one of Baggallini's gorgeous bags. I chose the Touring Tote from the Classic Collection in Charcoal and Fuchsia. 

There are so many great features:
  • Removable, adjustable crossbody strap
  • Secure, zippered cell phone pocket
  • Interior organizational pockets
  • Padded interior pocket for digital tablets
  • Detachable wallet included
  • Lightweight, water-resistant nylon
There is so much room in my Touring Tote! I typically carry smaller purses, and I never have the room for everything. This bag has plenty of room for everything I want to carry. With all the great compartments I don't lose my important things anymore. By far, my favorite feature is the padded interior pocket. My Kindle has a safe home when I go places! 

I know I already mentioned the room but it really is so important to me. With five kids my purse tends to gather things, a few diapers, snacks, small toys, ect. The Touring Tote has plenty of room for all of my things and the things I tend to carry for the kids.

The amazing people at Baggallini are giving away a second Touring Tote to one of my readers in the "Mother's Day Gift Ideas Giveaway" that starts on May 1st! The winner will be receiving the Touring Tote in Khak and Black.
You can learn learn more about Baggallini and connect with them on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

Also you will want to be sure to stop by their Facebook here every Monday to enter a weekly question and be entered to win the featured bag that week!

I received one of the above mentioned products free in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Sponsor Spotlight: Harvey Prince - Ageless - Review & Giveaway


"Harvey Prince was founded by two brothers as a gift for their mother. [They] craft inspired, high-quality fragrances, each with it's own spirit and story."

Harvey Prince got it's start in 2008, and has taken off over the past three years. "[They] take great pride in using only the finest ingredients for each note in every scent, with no toxic chemicals still found in many commonly used perfumes." I believe that is one of my favorite parts of this company. I love that their perfumes are safer, especially since my girls tend to think they need a spritz now and then.

Harvey Prince has a variety of fragrances for every type of woman to choose from. Scents like Hello "the scent that greets you with a smile" and Coupling "for making him all yours". The names and descriptions are so enticing! They also have their first cologne out, Submariner "for men who ride the waves". Along with all of their great scents they also have soaps and lotions. 

I was incredible happy to be able to review some of the amazing perfume from Harvey Prince. They sent me a bottle of their fragrance called Ageless to try. "The scent that defies age. Crisp inviting notes of pink grapefruit, pomegranate, [and] luscious mango." They also sent me a sample of Eau Flirt "the magical scent that flirts for you."

 


I really enjoyed both of these perfumes. Ageless has a sweet, fruity smell, with just a hint of floral, but it is not overbearing. I love the way it smells and so does my husband. Of course I asked his opinion. He was impressed with it. I have enjoyed wearing it out, and have received some compliments as well as inquiries about where I got Ageless. 

Eau Flirt has a fun and sassy smell. I suppose, that is, if sassy has a smell. With notes of pumpkin pie and lavender, I really like this fragrance. It is energetic and great for a fun night out. I have loved getting to try their amazing products, and I think I will get some of their Submariner cologne for my husband. He needs something new, and it sounds perfect!

To learn more about Harvey Prince, or to purchase some of their amazing perfume, you can visit their website! You can also connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

The wonderful people at Harvey Prince have been incredibly generous enough to giveaway 4 of their 50mL bottles of Ageless, which has a retail value of $55 to my readers. Just enter on the rafflecopter below. They are also being generous enough to giveaway another 4 of their 50 mL bottles of Ageless in the "Mother's Day Gift Ideas Giveaway" coming up on May 1st. So eight lucky readers will have the chance to win!

Lovable Labels Camp Pack Review

Lovable Labels is a great company that offers a fun way of labeling items. They offer a large variety of labels for many different uses. There are clothing labels, bag tags, household items labels, and stationary. They also offer safety products such as Allergy Labels, Medical ID Wristbands, and KID Bands. Their items come with customized designs.

I was recently given the opportunity to review Lovable Labels Camp Pack! I was really excited about this product. The Camp Pack comes with 15 Sticker Labels, 40 Slimline Labels, 12 Shoe Labels, 72 Press 'n Stick Clothing DOTS, 2 Mini-Metal Tags, and 12 Square Labels. Then I got to pick out the colors and designs for my Camp Pack. Since I planned to use it for Ashlynn, I chose the Diva design. The final thing was to choose the name I wanted on everything. I chose to just put "Ashlynn" on them. My final results that came in the mail were so great!

 


Ashlynn was so excited, she was ready to label the world. All the labels are great quality. We have started using them on a few of her school items. She was especially excited about the tags. One is now on her back pack and the other is on her lunch box. Her folders have all been labeled, as has her spring jacket.

The labels all stick well. We have washed her jacket and the clothing dot has held up. I was a little wary about that one but they are doing great so far! I am very happy with this product. I plan to use them on any of Ashlynn's sports things this summer and fall. I also plan to use them on all her school things this fall.

These labels are very convenient and they are fun. We love all the designs. Riley will be starting school in the fall, too and I think I will have to get another set of labels for her stuff. I also want to look into getting some of the Safety Products to warn people about Riley's peanut allergy.

You can learn more about Lovable Labels on their website, Facebook, and Twitter.

I received on or more of the products listed above in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
