Garden Botanika Sweet Mint AHA Foot Treatment Review and Giveaway
Spring is just right around the corner and to most of us that means hanging up our winter clothing and boots for flip flops and capris! I don’t know about most of you but I’ve very particular about my feet, I love to have perfectly manicured toes and soft callus free feet and heels. I tan almost everyday so sometimes my feet get in really bad shape, very rough and uncomfortable to walk on, so this time of year I’m always on the lookout for new products to use on my feet to help heal them and make them baby smooth. Recently I was given the opportunity to review the Sweet Mint AHA Foot Treatment from Garden Botanika!

My Thoughts:
I was sent a 4oz tub of the new Sweet Mint AHA Foot Treatment from Garden Botanika to review and I can tell you I was very excited because I have used many different foot treatments in the past and some of them have worked great but some were well I’ll just say not worth the money I spent on them. After reading and hearing some great things about the products available from Garden Botanika I had some really high expectations from the foot treatment.
I began using the foot treatment the day it arrived and I’ve used it every day since then, and I absolutely love it! Out of all the foot treatments I’ve used in the past this one is by far the greatest! The first thing I noticed about the Sweet Mint AHA Foot Treatment was the amazing mint smell, it is truly amazing!!! I have been using it after my nightly bath/shower and using my foot file and it has healed up my rough dry winter feet and they look amazing and are very much ready for spring/summer and flip flops!
I’m also loving that this foot treatment keeps my feet looking great even though I tan on a daily basis, and as some of you may know the UV lights can really cause the bottom of your feet to dry out and crack. To apply the foot treatment I use a sponge that is connected to a foot buffer and it works amazingly. I also love the cooling feeling that the Sweet Mint Foot Treatment gives my feet when I apply it.
I really wish I would have taken photos so that you could see the amazing difference that the foot treatment has made on my feet. When I started a week or so ago my feet were in need of some serious tlc, they were very dry and cracked and was pretty uncomfortable to walk on but now they are so soft and look amazing!!!
Bottom Line:
I absolutely love the Sweet Mint AHA Foot Treatment from Garden Botanika, out of all the other foot treatments I have used in the past this one is by far the best I have ever used and I assure you all that I will be using the foot treatment from Garden Botanika from now on! I could not be happier with the results I have gotten from the foot treatment and I totally recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful feet to kick start spring and all year long! The price of the Sweet Mint AHA Foot Treatment is on $12.50 and it only takes a small amount a day to keep your feet looking amazing, so it is totally a great price and I know you wont be sorry!

Olive Bungalow $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway
As each and everyone of you who visits my blog on a regular basis knows that I love jewelry and I’m always on the lookout for fun and unique pieces to share with you all. So, recently when I stumbled across Olive Bungalow and seen all the unique pieces they have to offer I just couldn’t wait to share it with all of you and to top it all off Michele has been so kind and offered one of my lucky readers a $50 Gift Certificate to purchase their favorite item!
About Olive Bungalow (taken from website):
My name is Michele and I'm a self-taught jewelry artist. I have been a fulltime jewelry designer for the past 9 years. During the past 9 years, I've sold my work both retail and wholesale.
All of the items on the site are handmade by me in my studio overlooking the desert and mountain range here in Arizona.
Every component in my jewelry is handcrafted by me. I create all my bezels from scratch. The accents on the jewelry are also handcrafted either by sheet or wire. When you purchase a piece of jewelry from me - it's all created from start to finish by me. I also use sturdy 20 gauge sterling silver in my jewelry. You are getting a substantial piece of silver in every item you purchase. The jewelry will last forever, the rings will not warp or bend. I won't use anything less than 20 gauge silver because I want your piece of jewelry to last a lifetime.
I use only eco-friendly, recycled and reclaimed sterling silver and gold. I use only natural and genuine fair trade gemstones(*) in my jewelry creations. I take pride in using only high-quality gemstones.
I am also a lapidary artist and cut and polish my own cabochons. I use these cabochons to create my one-of-a-kind pieces and they can be found on my one-of-a-kind page. I will try to update this page once a week (and possibly more often). When new items are added, I will update my blog page to notify you of new pieces.
I am constantly working on new designs and make an effort to add new pieces on a weekly basis. New items will be listing on the new items page.
*Fair Trade Gemstones and Diamonds are stones that are sourced ethically. All fair trade gemstones are traced back to the cutting center, and whenever possible traced back to the source mine. Workers who produce these gemstones have reasonable work hours and humane work conditions. Fair trade gemstones are tracked meticulously to ensure the process is honest and documented.
My Thoughts:
When I first seen the beautiful handcrafted artisan jewelry available at Olive Bungalow I just could not believe my eyes, some of the pieces are so beautiful I picture them on the finger or around the neck of a princess during the Renaissance era. I’ve spent lots of time window shopping at the website and I’ve got a wish list a mile long of some of my favorite pieces. I want to take a few seconds before I get to the good part which offers the giveaway to let you know the top three items on my wish list (hunny if your reading this I’m sure there is a special occasion coming up!)
The first piece I want to share with you is the absolutely breathtaking Autumn Olive stackable peridot ring:
This ring features my husbands birthstone and I just absolutely love the design! There is something so elegant but simple about this ring that just calls to me, I would love to have it to wear on my finger daily to remind me of my true love, my husband Chad :0)!
The next piece I want to share with you all is the Gemstone Drop Pendant:
What makes this piece special to me is the simple design, I really think it’s a beautiful piece and I would love to add it to my ever growing jewelry collection.
The last piece I want to share before I get to the discount and giveaway is the Daisy Mini Bloom Earrings:
I think these would look amazing as an everyday casual look to spice up any outfit and make it a bit more special and not so ordinary!
Those are just a very few of my favorite items available at Olive Bungalow and I will admit although I love all the pieces I have to say my favorite is the stackable rings! I have my eye on the Stackable Birthstone Rings and I am going to talk my hubby into letting me create a set that has each of our birthstones so that I can keep my entire family close even when they are not with me.
Bottom Line:
I’m really loving all the items available at Olive Bungalow and I can guarantee that before to much longer I will be sporting a set of beautiful stacking rings and who know what else I will end up adding to my collection from Olive Bungalow!
If you are looking for that one unique piece of jewelry that is a must have in your collection I suggest checking out the gorgeous pieces available from Olive Bungalow, there just isn’t anything better than a custom piece of jewelry to really add the finishing touches to your favorite outfit.

Tellurian Baby Review and Giveaway
When I look for products for my little man I tend to be pretty picky and only want the best for him. Over the past three years we have tried many different brands of skin care and bath products on “Bug” and we have found a few that are favorites in our household. Recently I was introduced to Tellurian Baby and was given the opportunity to try out their line of baby bath and body products and I have to just give you a warning, “Bug” and I love these products!
About Tellurian Baby (taken from website):
Tellurian was founded by Jane Leeves and Ron Lewis. Jane Leeves has made her mark in the world of television, theatre and film. TV audiences know her as “Daphne Moon” in the long running hit series Frasier for which she won a SAG award and was nominated for an Emmy and Golden Globe. She can currently be seen as “Joy” on the new TV Land series Hot in Cleveland. Ron Lewis is the founder and president of Cosmetic Technologies one of the countries leading contract manufacturers of skin and hair care products. In his 35 year career he has been involved in creating thousands of skin and hair care product including many nationally and internationally known brands.
Q. What prompted you to start a line of Baby Products?
A. Ron
Well, going from 0 to 4 grandchildren in a 24 month period, having 2 of our staff members have babies in the same time period as well as my neighbor it seemed from my perspective that there was a second “baby boom” going on. It really prompted me take a serious look at the baby category. There was also a big expose in the Washington Post a year or so ago that revealed that there were a lot of questionable ingredients being used in baby care product. I felt the need and opportunity was big enough to do something about it.
A. Jane
Once I became a mother myself, I naturally started paying a lot more attention to what was going in my children as well as on them. I’ve tried a lot of different products with my kids. Once I got to know Ron I was convinced we could create something really special.
Q. How did you meet?
A. Jane
We were introduced by a mutual friend Vicki McCarty.
A. Ron
Vicki is a personal manager and knows a number of celebrities. A product line we had developed was accepted by one of the shopping channels. They were looking for a spokesperson so I called Vicki who suggested I meet with Jane. When I explained to Jane the time commitment she said she wasn’t willing to spend that much time away from her children. I was really touched and impressed by the priority she gave her children and family. When I thought of creating a baby line I knew Jane would be the perfect partner.
Q. What is unique about Tellurian Baby?
A. Ron
It stands out almost as much for what it doesn’t have as for what it does. The objective was to create products that were scientifically / dermatologically advanced and at the same time as pure and natural as possible. What evolved in the process is a redefinition of what natural skin care means. We are actually using the natural components of the skin to maintain the optimum condition of the skin. Although it has taken many years of research the concept in many ways is quite simple. We’ve referred to this as “skin care based on the nature of the skin itself”.
A. Jane
My biggest concern was making sure that we weren’t using any of the bad stuff and that the products were pure and gentle and effective as we could make them. I also wanted them to be as enjoyable to use as possible for both mom and baby. No matter how advanced they may be, if they don’t smell good, feel good and work well no one will want to use them, at least not more than once.
Q. What do you hope to achieve with your venture?
A. Jane
Besides making the best possible products, products that we can be proud of, Tellurian is really a vehicle for us to try to give back and hopefully create positive change in the lives of those less fortunate, particularly children.
Our Thoughts:
We were sent an assortment of all the baby products available from Tellurian Baby to review: 2-N-1 Shampoo & Body Wash, Baby Oil, Baby Body Wash, Baby Shampoo, Baby Lotion and the Baby Diaper Cream (all seen above)! Our package arrived very quickly and I couldn’t wait to try them out at bath time especially after getting a sneak peak at the smell of each of them (they are heavenly!).
When our first bath time rolled around after these products arrived the hardest part was trying to decide which of the products we wanted to try first but we decided to go with the Baby Body Wash, Baby Shampoo and Baby Lotion. Now, when I choose a shampoo and body wash for my man I am very careful to make sure that they are tear-free because he does have a tendency to throw a tantrum when it’s time to wash the shampoo out of his hair and Tellurian Baby is just that tear-free so we used the shampoo with no tears and “Bug” said that it smelled really good and I have to totally agree, and it made his most of the time unruly hair look and smell amazing! I love that it tamed the wild stands of hair that tend to stick up at the very top of his head and it left his hair extremely shiny and soft! We also really enjoyed the body wash as well, it smells great and is very easy on his skin, other products we have tried has sometime broke him out but with Tellurian we had absolutely no problems and I noticed that it seemed to moisturize his skin as well to relive some of his itchy dry patches on his little arms. Of course afterwards we used the baby lotion in place of our usual after bath time lotions and again this product is great! It smells amazing and leaves our skin super soft and didn’t leave an oily residue like some other lotions we have tried.
We have also started using the 2-N-1 Shampoo & Body Wash and I have to admit that this is my absolute favorite out of all the products we received because it’s not only great to have the shampoo and body wash all in one but it cuts down on the clutter on the bathtub. This product smells just as great as the others and leaves “Bug’s” skin so soft and his hair silky smooth, shiny and looking great! Just between me and you I’ve used it a couple of times on my own hair and body and I love it! It’s so gentle that it makes my skin more moisturized and my hair looks amazing and I don’t have to use a conditioner!
We have used the baby oil and the diaper rash cream as well and I’m very impressed with the diaper rash cream, it is one of the best creams on the market as far as I am concerned! It seems to sooth his little bottom and clear up the rash rather quickly and “Bug” doesn’t fuss when I use this cream unlike some of the others that he says burns.
Bottom Line:
Simply put…..I absolutely love Tellurian Baby Products! As far as we are concerned they are the BEST products available on the market today! Not only are they super gentle and smell amazing they leave my son’s skin and hair looking beautiful and feeling silky smooth! I have a couple of friends who are expecting and I’m making diaper cakes and I can guarantee that I’m going to be tucking the 2-N-1 Shampoo & Body Wash, Baby Lotion and Diaper Rash Cream into the stack of diapers because I feel like every baby should be pampered the way only Tellurian Baby can!
If you are looking for the ultimate in luxury baby skin care products I highly suggest checking out the baby product like at Tellurian Baby and if you are looking for something special for the new mom or yourself check out their line of mom products as well….your babies skin will thank you!

My First Yoga Book Review and Giveaway
Last year I really got into doing Yoga and let me tell you I have been loving it ever since doing it for the first time, I have even signed up with a couple of my good friends for a weekly Yoga class. Well here while back “Bug” was watching me doing some of my beginner Yoga moves and decided he wanted to do Yoga with me so we got him a small mat (one of the little red/blue school mats) and he attempted the moves with me. So after seeing how interested he was in doing Yoga himself I set off on a mission to find the perfect product to help him do his own Yoga moves that would be easy for him and when I was introduced to My First Yoga Book by Abbie Davies, I knew that it would be perfect for “Bug”. I was thrilled when Abbie agreed to let us do a review on her book!
About My First Yoga (taken from website):
Our Style
My First Yoga offers an engaging, exciting and innovative approach to youth’s yoga education. A series of age appropriate exercises and educational activities stretch both mind and body, providing students with the mental and physical tools necessary to lead healthy, balanced lives.
Our Curriculum
The My First Yoga patent-pending curriculum, taught exclusively by our staff, follows a unique formula to further expand upon our innovative approach to yoga education. The year-long curriculum is specifically designed to help young students reach personal, physical and educational developmental milestones.
Our Buzz
My First Yoga has gained nationwide attention in publications such as The New York Times, Parents Magazine, iVillage, Creative Living Magazine, The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald and Root & Sprout and has captivated audiences at venues such as the Boston Children’s Museum, the New England Aquarium and Natick Collections.
Our Thoughts:
We were sent a copy of My First Yoga: Animal Poses Book by Abbie Davies for “Bug” to review. Our book arrived very quickly and I could not wait to show “Bug” his very own Yoga book so that he could now do Yoga with mommy! Once “Bug” seen this book he immediately went and got his “Yoga mat” and wanted to start posing!
Now this book is just adorable as well as very informative to toddlers because it shows them with cute little illustrations exactly how to make the pose and turn themselves into all kinds of animals such as a cat, a flamingo, a cow and my son’s favorite of all the poses the monkey and the snake!
I love that this book is not designed with the parent in mind…that it is specifically for your toddler with no long explanations and how-to’s it simply shows one colorful pose illustration per page and a very short explanation that you can read to your little one, and offers some fun additions such as animal noises and movements to add to the pose to make it more fun for your little one so it doesn’t seem like such a routine and you can mix them up day after day to keep the little one’s interested! This book makes it so easy for my son to get the book and look at the pages and do it all by himself (like on days he thinks he is a grown up and that he needs no help for anything), just by looking at the pictures….it’s really awesome!
My 3year old son really picked up quite quickly with all the poses and like I mentioned above has his two absolute favorites that he has memorized and I have noticed since we started using the book regularly that he will be sitting watching TV and start doing some of the Yoga moves all by himself. I have to say the we are thrilled with this book and I am so happy that “Bug” and I can do Yoga together and it’s a blast doing all the fun animal poses along with him making the silly noises and moving along like the animal pictured in the colorful illustrations.
My son just started “Pre-School” (an in home daycare, but he calls it pre-school) and I have let the teacher barrow the book and she has now ordered one to keep in the classroom so that all the little ones can do Yoga daily, she said they all loved it and even the tiny ones was doing their best to do the poses with the bigger kids!!
Bottom Line:
I have to say that I think the My First Yoga: Animal Poses is a fun and exciting way to get your kiddos interested in Yoga and to get them up and moving even when it’s cold/hot, rain or shine outdoors, and a plus is that the whole family can join in for a great workout anytime! We absolutely love our book and I do hope that Abbie comes out with more Yoga books geared towards toddlers, we would love to learn some more fun poses!
If you are looking for a fun way to get your toddler interested in Yoga, I highly recommend picking up a copy of this fun and colorful book from Abbie Davies, trust me your toddler will thank you! Also one last thought, if you are looking for a fun and unique birthday gift for a toddler how about a copy of My First Yoga, they won’t look at it as exercise they will think of it as a fun new game!
Buy It:
To purchase copy of My First Yoga: Animal Poses visit the My First Yoga website!

Abbie is so awesome, she has decided to offer one copy of My First Yoga: Animal Poses to one of my extremely lucky readers (ARV $12.99)!

Box Creations Review and Giveaway
I can remember when I was much younger playing with all my cousins in cardboard boxes using our imaginations to turn ordinary cardboard boxes into something extraordinary from our own princess carriage, to a horse and buggy even as far as turning several of them into a maze we called our mansions! Well, since “Bug” is getting to about the right age for his imagination to really start blooming and we spend a lot of time pretending with the cardboard boxes we get in the mail, but recently I was introduced to a really awesome company called Box Creations! So naturally when they agreed to let “Bug” review one of their “box playhouses” we were both very excited!
About Box Creations (taken from website):
Box Creations is dedicated to providing unique, sustainable product innovation to the marketplace as well as good old fashioned fun!! We are founded on the principle that a richer play experience should involve the child’s imagination as well as encouraging the child to be an inherent part of the finished product.

All of our products are made from recycled materials and are safety tested. We pride ourselves on developing sturdy as well as easy to assemble products. Our designers are kids at heart and their love for play shows in the uniqueness of each piece! You’ll get hours of play at a fraction of the cost of the more permanent play structures!
And as everyone knows - KIDS LOVE TO PLAY IN THE BOX!!
Our Thoughts:
We were able to choose the Pirate Ship to review and I have to say we were both waiting by the door very impatiently for it to arrive and as soon as it arrived we immediately started putting it together so that we could become pirates! Although it seemed like it took months to arrive it actually arrived very quickly.
(I plan to post pictures up just as soon as I get my camera cord replaced)
Once we got our Pirate Ship put together and ready to go, which took my husband and I about 15 minuets give or take a few. The kit came with everything we needed to put the pirate ship together quickly as well as the instructions and makers so that we could decorate the ship as we like. “Bug” and I decided to do a bit of artwork on the outside of our ship to make it personal just for him!
Since receiving the Pirate Ship “Bug” has been playing in it quite regularly and at least once a day and for his birthday party we had it out for all the kiddos to play in and I can tell you they all really enjoyed playing with the swords and we actually had to cut a few more out of some spare cardboard we had lying around. I know they spent at least two hours running around acting like pirates!
Not only has having the Pirate Ship around been a blast for us all (yes, I’ve even been a pirate once or twice J) but I can not believe how well these pieces of cardboard has held up especially with all the abuse it took at “Bug’s” birthday party! It still looks like new and is still standing, what I love most is that each of the kiddos that has gotten to play in the ship has been able to add a little something to the side of the ship to make it that much more special! We are all looking forward to many more play dates with our Pirate Ship in the very near future.
Bottom Line:
“Bug” and all the other kids love the Pirate Ship and I have to say that it is one of the most simple toys I have ever seen but I think that is exactly why it’s so great! We all know that most kiddos love boxes, and what could be better than a box shaped so that their imagination can really take them places!
If you are looking for a simply yet extremely fun toy for your kiddos or maybe for a birthday party activity or a gift for someone special “Bug” and I highly recommend checking out the awesome cardboard playhouses at Box Creations and let your imagination take you to new places!
