Bath Luvē Fish Review & Giveaway - ENDED

Bath Luvē was invented by a mom after needing a better bath time solution for her baby. You submerge the super cute Bath Luvē in water and then drape it over your infant, helping them feel warm and secure. The Bath Luvē comes in 3 different designs (fish, frog, duck) and is made from 100% cotton. You can also purchase a matching Bath Luvē Buddy, a soft fabric sponge, as a way to continue to add warm bath water to the Bath Luvē without removing it. New from Bath Luvē are super-soft hooded towels and matching washcloths.

Bath Bath Luvē recently sent me a Bath Luvē Fish and Fish Buddy to review. Not only are these products super cute, but I love that they will keep my little guy nice and toasty during bath time. As a mom-to-be of a boy, I can't tell you enough how excited I am about a product that will also act as a squirt-shield! So many of my mom friends have raved about this product and I can see why, definitely a must have on any baby registry.

Buy It:

Visit Bath Luvē and click on "buy now" to purchase these products. These products are also available at Kohl’s stores nationwide as well as other retailers such as Babies R Us, select Baby Depots, Toys R Us Australia and Wal-Mart.com. The frog Bath Luvē with a matching Bath Luvē Buddy is available from “One Step Ahead” catalogue. Buy Buy Baby offers the entire Bath Luvē line. A purchase is not necessary to enter the giveaway.

Boon Bath Goods Review

I've been a longtime fan of Boon products, often buying their bath toys or feeding products for my expecting friends. I just love the modern look and quality of their products. Come this August, my little guy will definitely be a Boon fan, too. Boon recently sent me their Bath Goods to review and I couldn't have been more excited when I opened the package to discover a collection of brightly colored toys that could provide hours of fun for any child (or any adult for that matter)! This collection includes 15 bath appliqués, 3 balls, and 2 mini-scrubbies that make bath time a creative and playful experience. These designer toys do not absorb water, reducing mold and mildew.

You can store these funky bath toys in Boon's Frog Pod or Bug Pod, that attaches to your bathtub wall with adhesive strips that can be removed or you can also screw mount the pod to any wall. The body of the pod is detachable, providing a drainable scoop for collecting and rinsing toys, making clean up super easy. I'll admit that I'm a huge organizational nut/borderline neat freak and I absolutely love that with one easy scoop, your child's bath toys are neatly contained in one spot.

Buy It:

10% of Boon's products are donated to children's charities specifically benefiting children in need, learn more HERE. Discover where you can purchase Boon products HERE.

The Spoiled Mama Review & Giveaway - ENDED

I'm excited to announce that The Spoiled Mama is teaming up Designs by Vanessa to offer my readers a chance at winning a $50 gift certificate. The Spoiled Mama specializes in pregnancy, postpartum, baby and breastfeeding products. This fabulous company generously sent me the Pampered Mama Gift Box, which came in a beautifully bowed box. The gift box includes a 4oz bottle of cocoa & shea tummy butter, 2oz bump gloss stretch mark oil and 14oz sugar scrub of your choice (I tried Mojito Mama and loved it). What a perfect gift set to give to any expecting mama, she'll appreciate your thoughtfulness when her belly is stretch mark free!

I'm very conscious about what type of products I use (or don't use) on my body and being pregnant has only heightened my awareness. I love that these products are made using organic materials that are free from Parabens, Phthalates, Synthetic Fragrances, Harsh Surfactants, Artificial Colors, and Petroleum Derivatives (whew that is a mouth full). I also love that they insure all testing is cruelty free. So, would I recommend these products? Definitely!

Thank You Mellicious!

I won a giveaway on the EtsyVeg blog and was sent this giant basket of eco-friendly bath and body goodies from Mellicious. She sent me lots of great bath bombs, an adorable flower soap and yummy lip gloss. I love that all of her products are not only handmade but also vegan and eco-friendly.

If you need me, I'll be in the bath tub...
