Review & Giveaway: SnackTaxi
A little about Snack Taxi taken from their website:
I invented SnackTAXIs way back in 2003 as a way to stem the tide of plastic ziplock bags that flowed from our house to the landfill when our 3 kids started school! We pack over 500 lunches every year, and had definitely fallen prey to the easy appeal of the ziplock bag.
SnackTAXIs are easy too - really! They are made in our home-based workshop by talented (and fun!) local sewers - we are committed to keeping our business local, and will never outsource our labor.
We hope you'll enjoy using snackTAXIs as much as we enjoy making them!
The Truth's Thoughts:
I have giving the chance to review SnackTaxi product and I picked the snacktaxi sandwich sacks. If you don't know what a sandwich sack would look like, here is a picture of the sacks.
These sacks are really cool and handy. I used them for my husband's lunch for work. I pack him a lunch daily and some days all he wants it just a sandwich, so these sacks are great for every day use. I make him a sandwich and wrap it in a napkin. Then I place it in the sack. He said some of the guy at work kind of looked at him funny because the two sacks I got where a little bit of girly but he said they all asked where he got them. So, all in all he said everyone wanted to know where to get them. He told them what they where called and when he got home he was telling me about everything like he does every night. So, these sacks are perfect for that special person in your life that like to take their lunch, wither it be kids, or your spouse.

Review & Giveaway: Pocket Nanny
I love my pocket nanny. Some might look at me like I am crazy when I carry it around with me at the house and they come over. They ask what it is and I tell them about it. The first question is "Why do you need something to remind of that stuff, that is your child you should just know?" I tell them it is simple and start off telling them about all the pocket nanny has to offer and how a ease it puts knowing that I will always know what is is going on with my child. I use it of my toddler. I just changed things around a little bit because he still takes naps and we just got doing the potty training thing but some times I still have to remind him to go to the bathroom. With my pocket nanny I can keep track of every thing because he likes to hold it and I know that is not good for him.
This baby care timer is not intended to set a schedule for baby, it is simply a parent’s helping hand in remembering times. It’s about learning your baby, remembering times and increasing communication between caregivers. It is an amazing product that would be a great gift for any mom-to-be or for yourself if you have a little one at home!

I love popcorn! My kids love popcorn! Seriously, who doesn't? Is there anyone on Earth that can walk into a movie theater and NOT get a bucket of popcorn? I know as soon as I smell the fresh popcorn and butter, I am ready for a large bucket. What about flavored popcorn? If popcorn has cheese on it -- I am SO there. My husband on the other hand loves Caramel.
I recently has the extreme pleasure of sampling KuKuRuZa Gourmet Popcorn! OH MY GOSH! This is some of the very best popcorn I've ever tasted. Well the flavors I like but as for all the other no need to worry my kids took very good care of them. They where more then happen to help mommy eat her popcorn.

Tuxedo
Take a bow for this elegant duet of chocolate and white chocolate lovingly latticed on our fresh scratch KuKuRuZa Caramel Corn. We artfully weave premium Chocolate and smooth creamy White Chocolate, with a hint of soft aromatic vanilla, over our Classic Caramel Corn.
Black Raspberry with Vanilla Cream
Fancy French cuisine meets good old KuKuRuZa popcorn. A classic French inspired liaison of Raspberry with Black Raspberry is enrobed on our fluffy air popped popcorn. Then to class it up another notch, we generously lattice with creamy premium white chocolate. Oui, oui. Plus s´il vous plait… Wash this down with some fine French pressed café and you´ll be seeing the Eiffel tower in your dreams and wake up inspired to paint the next Monet.

Review & Giveaway: Beanie Design
When I was having both my boys I always made sure their heads were covered. One of my FAVORITE things to have is ton of baby hats, that's why I was so thrilled when the folks at Beanie Designs let me to review one of their items or such I say the cutest little hats I have ever seen. These adorable beanies and hats are PERFECT for making your sweet one look even sweeter - whether you are taking cute pictures or just going out on the town! And when it comes to photos I know a lot because I am a photographer. I went to use the hat one day in a shoot but my youngest son got it out of my bad and spilled grape juice on it so I have to get it all clean up but have no idea how to get grape juice out.
The kind folks at Beanie Designs let me pick a hat out for myself and, since I don't know the sex of my baby yet, I picked this ADORABLE Organic cotton Ear Hat: Cream Bear
All soft and creamy, this little bear ears baby hat makes donning a hat more fun than your little one might think. Sweet, perky ears set atop the cuddliest of beanie hats make for endless fun looking in the mirror – not to mention the warmth and breath-ability that keep your little boy or girl comfortable.
- Cream beanie hat design with ears on top.
- Made of extra soft 100% organic cotton yarn.
- Hand knitted using Beanie Designs proprietary heirloom-quality knitting techniques for impeccable style detail and your baby's comfort.
- Roll up the rim to get the perfect fit.
- Machine washable.
You want a hat your baby can grow into and wear for a long time. That's why we use the rolling rim style on a lot of knitted beanie hat styles. Start out with the edge rolled up and then unroll all the way down as your little baby bear grows. The bear ears style is gender neutral in tan and cream, so this hat is wonderful for either the little boy or girl in your life. Our attention to quality ensures it can be passed down from one child to the next - or even saved for the next generation! And when all is said and done, this darling bear ears hat will make a wonderful keepsake from your child's infant years.
But as soon as I get it all cleaned up I will post some photos of the beanie.

Review & Giveaway: Elli & Nooli
The products at Elli & Nooli are so cute and I was so over joyed to be able to do a review for this company. I had a few friends that just had babies and I knew they would love these. I gave the blankie and blanket to a teenage girl I know that was having her first baby at age 17. She was so happy and loved them as soon as she laid on eyes on them. The fish was so soft and comfortable as was the blanket.
Fishy Blankie
Cotton pique fabric is known for its unique ability to remain airy, yet warm, due to its raised woven thread.
Our pique fabric is made of GOTS certified organic cotton assuring the highest quality and maximum care for your baby’s skin and health. Your baby will love touching the pique and discovering its unique texture.
Loopi Blanket
Choosing a blanket for baby goes beyond what looks pretty. Babies actually need blankets that swaddle and also let the skin breathe. Our Loopi baby blanket is made of organic cotton pique, that is known for its unique ability to remain airy, yet warm, due to its raised woven thread.
Our pique fabric is made of GOTS certified organic cotton assuring the highest quality and maximum care for your baby’s skin and health. Your baby will love touching the pique and discovering its unique texture.
A little bit about Elli & Nooli taken from their website:
Maya Shalev, founder of Elli & Nooli, was born and raised in Israel, where mothers use cotton pique blankets. The soft but durable fabric is known for its gentle, breathable qualities that keep babies comfortable no matter the temperature. The cotton pique is also very gentle on even the most sensitive skin. After moving to Los Angeles and giving birth to a second child that suffered from severe eczema, Maya noticed the effect that normal fabrics had on her baby’s sensitive skin. Unable to find the cotton piqué fabrics that she remembered from home, Maya designed a quality organic cotton pique fabric baby blanket. The Loopi Blanket, a soft 100% organic cotton pique receiving blanket that has a velcro attachment to hold on to baby’s favorite pacifier or toy, which tend to disappear when most needed.
Babies love to be wrapped in their favorite blanket and take a ride in the stroller or car seat. Unfortunately, babies also seem to love kicking their blankets onto the dirty ground. Mothers have tried endless tricks to keep baby’s blanket off of the floor with mixed results. Similarly frustrated, Maya next designed the Padi Blanket, a stroller blanket and cover combo that fits easily on any stroller or car seat and has several wings of soft cotton pique blankets to wrap up baby with as much – or as little – coverage as needed. Its versatility and durability earned the Padi Blanket its nickname, the All Weather Stroller Blanket.
That is how the Peek-a-Pique line of products began. All products are made with organic cotton pique fabric. They all come in stylish colors and designs but most importantly they are safe and gentle for babies with even the most sensitive skin.

Review & Giveaway: Brownie Brittle
If your family is anything like mine and I can just picture that they are because I don't know one kid that don't like brownies. Brownies are a much wanted treat in the home. Everyone gets over joyed for the brownies and swiftly consumes them when mom gets in the kitchen to make them. Hardly anything is left in the pan, including the crunchy edges. My two boys and my husband can eat them quicker then I can pull them out of the oven.
Sheila G. Mains has perfected creating tasty brownie brittle that resembles the crispy edges of brownies. In other words, she's made a confection that doesn't require cooking up a whole batch of brownies just to get a taste of the edges.
Brownie Brittle comes in three flavors - Chocolate Chip, Toffee Crunch, and Traditional Walnut - with only 100 calories per serving. They are crunchy pieces of brownie cookie that come packaged in a resealable bag. They have a light, airy crunch and are very similar to the taste of real brownie edges. When eating the brownie brittle, it does tend to leave crumbs all over the place but it's worth it for the taste. Trust my husband took some to work and sitting down eating them in the break room and some of his buddies at work was coming up and stealing a piece from him ever so often. He had a few of the workers ask where it came from and of course he called me to get the website.
In 1992, Sheila G. Mains, better known in the food business as Sheila G, took a treasured family recipe for fudge brownies and baked her way into a thriving business. You may even have tasted one of her rich, dense squares of heaven at some of our nation’s finest restaurants and theme parks. So, where exactly did the inspiration for her scrumptious new snack brownie brittle come from?
Like many brownie aficionados, Sheila is particularly fond of the crispy edges. In fact, on many an afternoon she would walk through the bakery gathering the brittle batter off the sides of the sheet pans as the brownies cooled in their racks. It had that same rich chocolate taste, but with an amazing crunch. That started her wondering: How could she create a whole pan of crunchy edges? Well, lucky for us, she figured it out! Now you too can satisfy your sweet tooth in a snap with Sheila G’s Brownie Brittle!

Review & Giveaway: HBL Hair Care
I have very dry so I am always looking for something to help me out some. It has been a long hard road since I was a teenager. I was happy when I was giving the chance to review HBL and what it would do to my hair. Let me just say my hair has never looked better since I have gotten my HBL set. I was sent the Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner and FREE Hair Masque. My hair now has a shine to it and has some bounce. My husband has even noticed that there is something different about my hair.
Here is a little bit about HBL and the products I was sent:

Panthenol thickens and moisturizes strands while silk protein seals and smoothes the cuticle. Unique surfactants guarantee sudsy foaming action.

Well suited for all hair types, Hair Masque can be used with or without heat, depending on the level of conditioning desired. Keratin Amino Acids naturally repair and strengthen hair and add elasticity while cetyl esters work to smooth, repair and seal damaged cuticle.
The hbl Story
His family experienced their first brush with cancer several decades earlier when his mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Fortunately, she survived the disease and made a full recovery.
Therefore, when Tommy was diagnosed they expected him to overcome the disease just as their mom had. Unfortunately, cancer had other plans and Tommy lost his battle to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1993.
Over the next few years, Patrick lost other close personal friends and two employees to cancer. During this period, his father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent 41 radiation treatments. He also faced skin cancer, which thankfully was successfully treated.
These events brought to light his own mortality and caused him to wonder what he could do to help others and himself. Motivated to make healthy lifestyle changes, he began researching everything from what he put into his body to what he put on his body, starting with the largest organ, the skin. Read More:

Review & Giveaway: Humangear
We were given the 1.25 oz and 2 oz sizes as a gift. They are easy to fill and I really like the grippe nonslip material they're made of--feels good in your hand, although it also collects lint and cat hair (no worries, that stuff washes right off with water). They come in tasteful pastel shades--very cool, sleek design. They're soft so it's super easy to squeeze out the contents, and there's a cool valve at the tip that shuts off the flow as soon as you stop squeezing I've always hated how my previous travel containers get mucked up with gunk at the opening, and this valve seems to really stop that. So far they seem totally leak-proof I also love the large opening - easy to pour stuff in. So far I have used them for shampoo and lotion. They have little selector dials on them so you can label the contents. The big size has a suction cup on it to stick it to the shower wall--works much better than we expected it to. The little size holds about a weekend trip's worth of shampoo/conditioner etc. and is nice and light for backpackers.
