Ouchies Review

I found the best band-aids out there and I want to share them with you!! I love their motto: "Hide your wound not your style!"

Ouchies bandages stayed put, where I placed them, until I removed them. When you do remove them there is no redness, irritation, or that icky sticky film left over from the adhesive. For us, that is simply amazing. Ouchies took the Ouch out of the Ouchie for us! Ouchies will be traveling in our diaper bag with us from now on.
Ouchies has the Ouchies 4Boyz and 4Girlz styles…

and a really cool Make Ur Own set that comes complete with three markers!

As well as Ouchies Jr. Trucktown bandages and the Ouchies Jr. Olivia bandages.
Based on the designs of the fabulous books; Trucktown and Olivia.

You can become a charter member of P.A.B.B. (People Against Boring Bandages). Not only will you receive email updates and free samples, Ouchies will also generously donate one bandage to local hospitals to give to kids for each person who signs up for P.A.B.B. What a thoughtful gesture for Ouchies to do. Very impressive in my mind.

Buy It: You can purchase Ouchies online HERE. Each box retails for $5 and contains 20 bandages. There are five designs, 4 of each included in the box of 20.
There is also a really cool store locator on the Ouchies Online site.

Meridane Designs Review and GIVEAWAY! - CLOSED

One fine Colorado evening Sally Short was doodling, which is not something she often does. Her thoughts turned to love, as they frequently do, and at that moment she simply wrote “Love is all U need”, with the letters all stacked on top of each other.
That was the beginning of the What U Love Symbol. Sally kept refining this doodle until it formed a beautiful, symmetrical symbol. At the very last minute she added a peace sign because she is an old hippie (ok, lets not use the word 'old'…. lets use ‘original') and sent the design away to be cast in sterling silver.

Sally has always known she was destined to create a powerful symbol that meant something positive for many people - and her time has come!

Once we received the tangible symbol we knew it was awesome, but did not yet recognize how powerful it would come to be. It was not until the family was united during the holidays that we realized the symbol did not just say “Love is all you need” as originally intended. I saw the word “Believe”. How could that B?

It was then we became conscious that the symbol contained even more letters. We started with A,B,C,D…as each letter revealed itself the energy and excitement grew. Each of us helped discover the magic. Lo and behold we managed to find the entire alphabet! Everybody sees something different... sees what they need to see...all contained within the same symbol.

Isn't that amazing?? I mean really. One little symbol is the ENTIRE alphabet!! How cool is that? I think it's great and awesome!


I received the Sterling Silver symbol Necklace and It's BEAUTIFUL!!

Zippity Doo Children's Hair Products Review

Growing up with 5 siblings we had our fair share of run in with the dreaded four letter word……LICE! Eww!!!
I worry about when my children get to be school age and I have to deal with the chance of Lice. So I was ecstatic when Zippity Doo invited me to try their line of children's hair care products that also prevents lice I was very interested!

Zippity Doo’s™ children’s hair care products are mild enough for daily use, provide health benefits to the hair and scalp while helping prevent lice infestation.

Zippity Doo sent me their entire line of hair products which included:

• Zippity Doo's Shampoo for children
• Zippity Doo's Conditioner for children
• Zippity Doo's Leave-in-Detangler for children (love this!)
• Zippity Doo's Styling Gel for children
• Zippity Doo's Shield Spray for children

Although my children don't go to school yet, it is still a great product to have on hand! Not only do these products come in fun colors and packaging, but they also smell good. They don't smell medicated at all! The shampoo and conditioner is great to use during his normal bath routine and the fact that it also prevents lice is a major added bonus!!! I also love the detangler! A must have in our home. I also shared this product with my sister who has two school aged sons and they gave the product 2 thumbs up!!

Here is the list of stores that carry Zippity Doo products. Crossing fingers that prevention is the key!
