*Closed*Giveaway! $30 Gift Certificate to Rascal Threads {Ends 6/9}

 

I really love simple, tasteful apparel on babies and Shannon, the owner of Rascal Threads does just that! Her clothing is customized, and even hand stitched for a totally unique look. Each onesie is also made of organic cotton which is important to me for my son’s delicate little skin.

Her shop first caught my eye when I saw this onesie with a bright Norwegian flag on it. I happen to be Norwegian and I also happen to be very proud. :-) I have looked high and low for something like this for my 8 month old son, with no luck, until now!

Custom Organic Onesie with Hand-Embroidered Flag Applique2011-05-17_17.10.01

I received the onesie in a size 12 month so it would fit him a little longer. It fit perfectly over a long sleeve top, pretty similar to his 9 month clothing. I absolutely love the bold cloth so delicately sewn on with a cute stitched border.

This is one fun way to show off your pride and it’s not often I come across something like this. You can customize these shirts to represent any flag!!

I also really love their onesie with crocheted flowers..so feminine and pretty. I am in the midst of trying to figure out how to crochet myself right now and I can attest to the hard work.

How great is this “jersey” type onesie with custom number and name?! Perfect for you sport fans! Also great for Father’s Day coming up for a Daddy-to-be!

Browsing through Rascal Threads, you will be sure to find something you love. Straight from her shop, Shannon tells you how to design one yourself:

There are three ways to choose your onesie:
1. Choose from the ready made designs.
2. Choose a ready made design and specify fabric and embroidery color preferences.
3. Choose a “Custom Onesie” listing and let’s collaborate to design your unique onesie with applique, fabric, and embroidery color of your choice.
Add a name and number and/or ruffle butt to the back of any onesie for some added cuteness!

I also can’t help but love that all proceeds help go towards the shop owner running the NYC marathon which supports the Make A Wish Foundation. A purchase you will feel good about!

Check out Rascal Threads for new  fun and unique pieces!

*Closed* $100 Gift Card to Pomology {Ends 6/9}

Energy-Formula-PomologyYa know what? As I get older, I realize how important it is so take care of my body. Back when I was in college I didn’t think much about this (surprise, surprise) … now I try to get enough sleep, try to drink fluids (I am still bad at plain water) and take daily vitamins.

I did a complete 180° change in vitamin intake in the last few years – going from a rare vitamin C (maybe when I had a cold!), to a vitamin regimen with daily vitamins and other supplements. They make me feel better, therefore I don’t mind taking an extra few seconds out of my day to follow my regimen! Pomology-Mind-Formula

Which reminds me, I have a long day ahead of me… I should take one of my energy and endurance supplements from Pomology. It is my new favorite supplement that I recently added to my regimen when I need it. It doesn’t have the same effects as energy drinks or mixes I’ve tried in the past. It doesn’t give me shaky hands or the jitters… it works well when I take it with food. It is natural, so I don’t worry about extra sugar or caffeine. Cocoa, green tea and pomegranates work to deliver naturally-occurring caffeine and mood-enhancing properties rich with antioxidants. It is safe for everyday use, but I choose to use it on occasion (like today – I have a long work day!!)

Pomology-Immunity-BottleI am also pretty keen on Pomology’s Immunity Drink Mix supplement; fortified with a specialized immunity blend consisting of echinacea, fenugreek ginseng and reishi and shitake mushroom extracts, all selected for their ability to defend against everyday germs and boost immune function. Being sick is no fun, so I take this to keep my immune system strong – and hopefully avoid all those icky germs that spread so quickly!

It is a powder, which is easy for me to add to my fruit smoothies (I especially love these in the summer). I blend frozen and fresh fruit, yogurt, a touch of honey and my immunity supplement to make one delicious smoothie. The Immunity Drink Mix bursts with the tropical flavors of pineapple, papaya, mango plus other Anti-Aging-Formula-Pomologyorange/yellow fruits and vegetables including mangosteen, pumpkins and yams. Not only can you add it for some flavor to your smoothies, it can also be added to a water bottle, juice, or another hot or cold beverage. I prefer putting it in my smoothies, because it is quick and easy, already in my routine – and doesn’t add any more dishes for me to clean!

Pomology has lots of premium health products including supplements, multivitamins and drink mixes. Along with leading nutritionists and fitness experts, Pomology has developed 15 highly-beneficial pomegranate-based formulas for specific functions and conditions and overall well being: Anti-Aging with Transresveratrol; Anti-Aging with 300 mg Transresveratrol, Joint; Antioxidant Health; Heart Health; Prostate AM & PM; Energy; Mind; Menopause; Men’s and Women’s Multivitamins plus our Anti-Aging, Energy and Immunity Drink Mixes. Pomology-Menopause-PillEach product contains a premium blend of ingredients that your body can utilize for wellness.  Pomegranate, blueberry, cranberry, resveratrol, lycopene, lutein, red wine, maca, grapeseed, green tea, goji berries, and açaí are just some of the all-natural antioxidants contained in Pomology products.  Whether you are 36 or 56 they have products to fit your lifestyle and needs.

I have a pretty good grip on what I need for my body during this time in my life, but as I get older and things change I can learn more about other Pomology formulas that might fit my specific needs better. Whether it supports healthy cholesterol levels, promotes prostate health, alleviates joint pain, encourages healthy aging, memory or energy, or reduces the symptoms of menopause…

Pomology has information to tailored to you to effectively address your lifestyle needs- to help you take steps toward better health and disease prevention.

*Closed*Giveaway! Soft Soul Baby Shoes {Ends 6/8}

Personlige leather til barn med brodert navn Nynorsk alphabet

Baby shoes may not be an absolute neccessity until your little one is walking, but these great little shoes made by Soft Soul might make you reconsider.Each shoe is HAND-MADE!!

I’m not crazy about taking my 7 month old in public with bare feet because babies tend to have cold little toes. Keeping socks on can be quite the challenge, which makes these shoes the perfect solution. They have an elastic heel to help keep them in place and are made of the softest leather. I love that these shoes are such high quality.

 

WIth all of the customized options, like color, and personalized font, they complete an outfit for any occasion. Great for lounging around the house, making a trip to the grocery store, a birthday party, or even to church.

You can purchase a pair of these shoes for boys or girls from newborn to toddler. My favorite thing about Soft Soul Baby Shoes is that you can order them however you want. You get to be the designer!  There is so much to choose from:  adorable pictures of teddy bears, airplanes, seahorses, etc… plain, or with your child’s name delicately embroidered along the top. You can involve your child in the process and have them pick out their favorite colors and details.

Living in the Seattle area can mean a lot of unpredictable weather and although summer is on it’s way, we still have quite a few chilly and rainy days. I couldn’t pass up the chance to review these adorable ‘Soft Brown Leather Baby Boots’.

Talk about cozy! I slip these on my son’s little tootsies and they actually stay on. I don’t have to worry about him getting cold feet, and I love the way they look.  You can win your own pair of shoes or boots here!

Fettuccini Bolognese

Who doesn’t love pasta? We sure do in our house!  I have to admit though, I’m often a “jarred sauce” kind of gal due to lack of time. This homemade sauce is easy, and you’ll be glad you carved out a few extra minutes.

pasta

Ingredients:

1 Tbs. Canola Oil

1 Onion, chopped

2 Cloves of garlic, minced

1 lb. ground turkey breast

1/4 tsp. salt

1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained ( I used two because we love tomatoes!)

1 large carrot, shredded

3 Tbs. tomato paste

1 Tbs. dried Italian seasoning

1/4 Cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 lb. fettuccini, broken in half ( I used organic, whole wheat)

Make it:

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; sauté onion for 4 minutes. Toss in garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add turkey and salt; continue to cook for 4 minutes more or until turkey is cooked through, stirring to break up the turkey. Mix in undrained tomatoes, carrot, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.

2. Partially cover the saucepan, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Cover completely and cook for 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally.

3. During the last 20 minutes of cooking the sauce, boil the fettuccini according to the package directions. drain. Spoon the sauce over the noodles.

Serve with a green salad and some garlic bread for a delicious meal

 

** I got this recipe from the current issue of Parents magazine! I’ve never tried a recipe from this magazine before and was quite impressed!**

GripStics {Ends 6/6}

GripStic-LogoI don’t think much about chip clips… I never had a reason to. Then I tested the GRIPSTIC™ – a new type of chip clip. I reviewed these food clips in 3 different sizes and here are my thoughts:GripStic-keeps-food-fresh

Is the GRIPSTIC™ better than your average chip clip?

Well that depends. The GRIPSTIC™ does work well. It has full coverage on the top of a bag (more than just a little clip) which is beneficial in keeping food fresh. It can grip snacks of all sizes – that is if you buy all of the GRIPSTIC™ sizes.

Compared to a chip clip or a rubber band -I like that they are less bulky than a chip clip and that they don’t stink like rubber bands do. Ewww. Seriously, have you ever wrapped up your food with a rubber band? Your food will smell like rubber band! That just grosses me out. So a HUGE bonus for no-rubber-band stink!

The GRIPSTIC™ can seal chip bags, snack bags, coffee bags, cereal bags, frozen food bags, veggie bags, baking and dry ingredients bags, and more!

But, I do find it annoying trying to find the size that fits the package the best. And what if you are already using that size on another bag? I am kind of a OCD person regarding organization and it would bug the heck out of me to have a too long of GRIPSTIC™ on a bag of chips, so it seems you need to have quite a few in stock. But maybe that is just me?gripstic-how-to-useOverall, I think they are easy to use, reusable and lock the entire top of the bag for a good seal. GRIPSTIC™ is a good solution from clips or bands to keep snacks fresh longer.

Pure Pearls Necklace (ARV $550) (US & Canada) {Ends 6/4}

Pure-Pearls-LogoimageJewelry is one of life’s fun extras. We can wear jewelry to snazzify a boring outfit or as an addition to an elegant dress. Some of us don’t leave the house without wearing our signature pieces and some of us wear it only for special occasions. We all have our preferences; white/yellow gold, platinum or pearls.

Hands down, I am a pearl girl. I wear them every day to work. I feel naked without my pearl earrings perfectly placed on my ears. Some days I want to be extra fancy and also wear my pearl necklace and bracelet too. More often I save those for special occasions. This summer there are lots of occasions where I will be wearing my necklace. I have quite a few weddings and other events in the near future. When it comes to getting great value at a good price for pearl jewelry, Pure Pearls is definitely it!

I love the Pink Freshwater Pearl Necklace, 6.0-7.0mm that I received. Every pearl is hand picked, and they are clean, crisp and stunning. All of the pearls are the same shape and perfectly round. The Clasp is 14K White Gold and easy to put on myself (fish hook style).

Buying a necklace (or any jewelry for that matter) from Pure Pearls has it’s benefits, because every purchase includes:

  • In stock – Free Delivery
  • 90 Day Easy Return
  • 80% Savings off ARP
  • 100% Safe & Secure Shopping
  • GIA Appraisal Certificate
  • Signature Black Gift Box
  • Pearl Care Card & Instructions

I am telling you, this  necklace is of the highest quality. I love how pearls look so delicate and sweet. It is a nice fit, doesn’t hang too low or too tight around my neck. It rests in the perfect place. It is extremely versatile, I can go from sophisticated attire to my favorite black dress in seconds flat! It make me feel so feminine and beautiful. I really think a pearl necklace is a woman-must-have.

Review: New! Ziploc VersaGlass

Ziploc-Versaglass-logoVersa-Glass-Ziploc-ContainersWhen reviewing food storage containers there are a few basic elements I am looking for. How well does it hold in liquids? Is the container shape convenient? Is it multifunctional? Etc.

I tested out the New! Ziploc® VersaGlass™ – medium square shape container and want to answer those important questions and more. So, read on readers…

How well does Ziploc® VersaGlass™ hold in liquids?

Bummer, the Ziploc VersaGlass is disappointing when it comes to the upside down test. I tested it with water (I’m not a risk-taker people!) and when I flipped it over a few times it had a slow drip leak. Although the lid feels secure on the container, it didn’t hold in all the liquid.

This would be a very bad thing it you had a soup, sauces or any other thin liquids. You might not want to use it for traveling, lunch boxes or in your purse. You don’t want to risk the messy clean-up!

Tall-Round-Ziploc-VersaGlassIs the Ziploc® VersaGlass™ container shape convenient?

The container sizes: small rectangle, small round, tall round, medium square, large square, medium rectangle, and a variety pack that includes small round, medium square, and large square. There is a shape for every small dish – from marinating chicken breasts to meatloaf!

The smallest container is small round – 13 (1-1/2 cups) fl. oz. and the largest is the large square 64 fl. oz. (8 cups). No cooking a full meal in these, they’re just big enough for 1-3 left-over portions!

These containers are made of thick and sturdy glass, they stack in one another. With limited room in my kitchen, this is a huge plus for me!Ziploc-Store,-Heat,-Serve-VeraGlass

Is the Ziploc® VersaGlass™ multifunctional?

This container has a lot good things going for it when it comes to multi-purposes! Unlike plastic containers, this container is great in the oven, microwave, refrigerator and freezer! It is dishwasher safe and both the lid and the bowl are suitable in low and high temperatures! (Oven safe up to 400°F (204°C), without lid). Also, this container is a lot more pleasing to the eye when using it as a serving dish, compared to the plastic containers!

Ziploc VersaGlasses are versatile and reusable. You can store, heat and serve—all in one container.

How much does the Ziploc® VersaGlass™ cost?

For the best value, you can purchase the Ziploc VersaGlass variety pack (includes small round, medium square, and large square) on Amazon for $18.86. Single-VersaGlass-Container-Ziploc-Green-Lid

MY SUMMARY

  • PRO – Love the glass vs. plastic! No more bad chemicals leaking into my leftovers!
  • PRO – More bang for your buck! Worth the extra price because they are reusable and will outlast the plastic versions any day!
  • PRO – Multi-functional! Oven and microwave safe! Heat, Store, Serve…
  • CON – Failed the leak test
