Pure Romance by Elizabeth Hitchcock

Have you ever heard of Pure Romance?

Pure Romance is another direct sales company. All you have to do is invite all your girlfriends over for a fun girls night in, and Elizabeth will do the rest!

I reviewed some creamy "whipped" lubricant in Cinnamon Dolce.
This was a hard item to review for the fact that I keep my blog G-rated! hehe
So for the "review" I put some on my fingers, and rubbed onto my arm. The consistency is like a thick lotion, and it smells AMAZING! It wasn't goopy or nasty and a small portion covered a good part of my arm.
It's edible, and smells so yummy I had to taste it. It doesn't taste bad at all!
This is not a warming or tingly lubricant, which I prefer.
I did try this for other purposes, and enjoyed it.. we will definately be using again ;)

Passion Parties - Lisanne Roy

Have you ever heard of "Passion Parties?"

It's a direct sales company, and Lisanne Roy would love to help you shop for all your needs!

We have done a review on the shaving cream and body mist in coconut lemongrass.

I have somewhat sensitive skin, so I was very nervous about getting razor burn, or the scent breaking my legs out.

The shaving cream wasn't thick like most shaving creams, the consistency reminded me of what lotion does when it gets wet.

I even looked on the back of the bottle to see if maybe it wasn't suppose to get wet, but once I started shaving I knew I was doing everything right! The shaving cream left my legs silky smooth, i just kept rubbing them!

After I got out of the shower, I sprayed my legs with the spray. Believe it or not, my legs felt EVEN MORE soft after that.

I didn't have to shave my legs again for a few days.. which is AWESOME for me! I usually have to shave everyday!

I am so excited about this stuff, I plan on buying more in the future and using all the time..

I recommend that YOU try it TOO! Contact Lisanne Roy on her website or facebook page to order, or have your own party!!

WHY?

My dad's best friend passed away from cancer in 2009. I knew him my entire life. He was there when I was born, and one of the only people my mom tells that I would let hold me as a baby. He held me the day I was born.

I remember him as far back as I can remember. He was always around, and I loved him like a second daddy. He was my "unkie ken."  I wasn't related to him by blood at all, but bonded together in love. 

This was the man I called if my daddy couldn't be there.

The man that would be the accomplice and partner in crime with my dad when any harm was done to me.

Cancer took him from us so quickly. It was only a few months, so few in fact that I hadn't had time to accept it.

I saw him memorial day weekend at my parent's.

He passed the end of July.

Two weeks after memorial day weekend he was in the hospital and diagnosed with stage four cancer in his brain and lungs. 

I'll never forget hearing that news, and instantly praying. I was so worried, and I remember telling my husband (we were pregnant with Gavin at the time) He can't die while, i'm pregnant.. he has to meet Gavin! 

But it didn't sink in that:

CANCER doesn't care.

June went by, and I didn't get to see him. He was weak from chemo and not up for visitors too often.. 

my daddy was there, and I should've been there too, just to let him know.

Those lost days mean so much to me now, I know he knows I loved him and that helps, but regret is something hard to cope with at times.

Then one day I was told that he was really getting worse and I needed to see him.

So I did.

They told me that it was a really good day for him.

But it was so hard to see him like that.

Cancer had taken a lot of his hair, and what was there was white.

It was shocking how he looked physically, how everything seemed so hard for him.

But he told me how proud he was of me, and he rubbed my belly.

I hugged him for the last time that day, and I didn't know it at the time.

I was so distraught, after I saw him I thought.. he's not going to make it much longer. 

BUT HE HAS TOO!

Cancer doesn't care. 

I am so glad I got to spend those hours with him that day. I wouldn't give those up for the world.

Those moments are so special to me now. It's almost as if he knew the time was near, and he gave me confirmation that I made him proud in my life.

Cancer took him from me about a week later.

He got to go the way he wanted too, at home, with his family. 

I said my goodbyes and held his hand not wanting to let go, and I watched as the people around me lost it, got it together, and lost it again.

We held each other together the way my unkie ken would have wanted.

And I watched as my daddy struggled to be strong and hold it together.

Cancer doesn't care.

I wanted him to see my son, be one of the first to hold him, just like he had held me.

I wanted him to have influence over my son, and help mold him into a man.

I wanted him to be my baby's "unkie ken."

Cancer doesn't care.

He left behind three kids.

Cancer took him from them.

 But guess WHAT?

Cancer can't take the fact that my baby Gavin is just as stubborn as my unkie ken.

He reminded me of him so much from the begnning.

And CANCER can't take that.

It can't take the time we got to spend with him, or the people he influenced.

Cancer can't take so many things.

But it took one of the most important.

There were signs, and He never went to the doctor.

Maybe it couldve made a difference.

Don't take the risk, if something isn't right.. take care of it..

Because Cancer Doesn't Care, and it will take you from your family.

 Don't let cancer take YOU.

Let's PUNCH cancer in the FACE!!

This is for all those who loved my unkie ken, and have lost somebody from cancer, or know somebody who is battling cancer, and for Sandra Jackson, whom I personally know is battling cancer.. and I want to be able to say she beat it.

Please donate today.

Hootie's House Review

The first time I ever saw one of these "nursing necklaces" was when I was pregnant with my youngest son Ian. At first I was confused, but after it was explained I thought.. "GENIUS!"

You know how baby is grabby while nursing and by the time they're done eating you have battle scars on your chest and neck?

Or how you can't wear a necklace without getting baby slobber all over it?

Or the shoulder part of your shoulder being socking wet ALL THE TIME?

The nursing necklace is for all of these, AND more!

Hootie's House makes them EXACTLY how YOU want!

So, I of course chose my two of my latest obsessions ZEBRA PRINT AND YELLOW!

The necklaces are made out of fabric, ribbon, and wooden beads.

So there are no harmful products, it is completely for your baby to not only play with while nursing but to bite on while teething!

You simply tie it around your neck and DONE!

So easy!

Hootie's House was so easy to work with, no complications or anything.

I simply told her exactly what I wanted, she made it and sent it, and now my neck, chest and shoulder are so thankful for it! ;)

The Art of Gifting LLC's Review and Giveaway

We did a review a few months ago on an amazing diaper cake designed by The Art of Gifting, and now we are doing a review on their CUSTOM MADE BEDDING SETS!

I have been in the process on changing my boys bedroom into a sports themed room. We had to downsize and now they are sharing a bedroom, so I wanted to change Ian's nursery decor, and Gavin's "Cars-lightening mcqueen" decor and go with one theme. I was thinking of "sports" because we could make that work for a few years, and you know I looove to save money! :)

So I have been done with all the decor except for their bedding for a few months when The Art of Gifting contacted me!

I was so excited, because I hadn't been able to find bedding that I liked for both of them, I was looking for it to be in the same print, but maybe the trim would be different colors or something. And here they are right in front of me asking me if I can review their bedding. HECK YES!

When I recieved my first package, it had one set that was completely correct, and the other was the wrong print. The first set was SO perfect though. It was Ian's set. (i have their room color coordinated, Ian's side is done in blue, and Gavin's is in red!) I fell in love with it instantly! So I contacted The Art of Gifting LLC and told them about the problem. They apologized and said they would fix it immediately. They were in the process of moving and their had been a communication error with the seamstress (who was currently in another state!) I, of course, being laid back and so in love with the set that was correct said that this was fine.

They sent me the second set, and everything with it was to perfection with the exception of the fitted sheet. It was made to the wrong size. I was so sad to have to tell The Art of Gifting LLC that another mistake had been made, they were also so upset about it, but were eager to  fix the problem. I was apologized to several times, and reimbersed for shipping it back. The Art of Gifting LLC was completely mortified at their mistakes, but I think this makes for a perfect review. It just goes to show that mistakes happen! I know the first time I ever made a mistake and had a customer complain, I literally cried and thought "Why am I even doing this? I totally suck!" Sometimes we need some encouraging words to let us know this happens to everybody. The important thing is that I recieved the fitted sheet a few days later and it, like all the other products, is perfect!

Each item I recieved in adorable packaging, wrapped to perfection and created an "awwwwwwwwwwwww!" effect when the box was opened!

I do not regret my journey with this company, and wouldn't trade my boys' custom bedding for any other store bought find. 

I reccommend working with them, because they proved that even when mistakes happen, they are fixed. 

And they are giving away a set of Curious George bedding!
