1st. Baby Shower Celebration Giveaway

I am thrilled to be joining in with Tots and Me to bring her last Baby Shower Celebration Giveaway. The following review was written by Tots and Me.

A couple of days ago I shared a little bit about mydayregistry.com.

Jennifer Ouellette’s Headbands giveaway

Wearing headbands is timeless. It can accessorize women in all occasion. It makes woman’s crowning glory more blooming! And this what Jennifer Ouellette proudly offer not just for ladies but also for men. Jennifer Ouellette is a premier hair dress designer in New York City.

What makes Jennifer Ouellette’s designs so special?

Jennifer’s sense of design began during childhood days spent in her mother’s vintage clothing store in St. Louis, Missouri. She graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia, majoring in Textile and Apparel Management & Costume Design. She continues to combine her passion for vintage fashion with her modern New York City style. Using her needle and thread as an artist uses pencil and paint, she applies her manual sewing techniques to her millinery sculptures with loving detail.

In 1999, she was granted a US patent for the development of a unique headband design and construction, which greatly increases comfort and value. Her sustainable approach to her design proves she is a recycling artist. “I get creative when I start to clean my studio, reinventing our scraps is my expertise. I am content when we have zero waste.”

Jennifer Ouellette’s work is included fashion’s best periodicals around the world and her loyal customers demand more than shallow trends to compliment their style. Her designs are full of vitality and innovation, with inspirations from history, science and nature.

Jennifer Ouellette do not just sell hair dresses and accessories for profit, their utmost aim is happiness. They provide guaranteed satisfaction to their customers.

This is one of their most favorite designs.

FUN BITES GIVEAWAY! MUST SEE!

I have joined together with Tots and Me and some other great bloggers to bring you this giveaway.

The following review is written by Tots and Me

I saw this intriguing product floating around the blog-o-sphere and wasn't sure how exactly it worked. At first it didn't make sense to me. But I wanted to learn more, and am I glad I did. Let me introduce you to FunBites. I was given the opportunity to try out the Cube It! Fun Bites Cutter and was able to see for myself how it worked.

Have you ever cut out cookies or sandwiches or other food items into little pieces and had it take forever to cut out. Or have you ever used small cookie cutters and had the food stick in the cutter. With the FunBites cutter you can cut little pieces quickly, safely and uniformly. And then you can easily remove them by pushing the popper top in.

This is the cutter:

And this is the popper top:

I enjoyed using this to make our muffin tin meal a couple of weeks ago. I used it on all sorts of food.

C heeses, meats, vegetables, fruits and a sandwich.

Not only is this easy to use, it is actually quite fun!

Push the cutter into the food and rock it back and forth a few times.

See, it went right through the sandwich.

Insert the popper top and push it through. (No, this wasn't the sandwich, I forgot to take a picture of the sandwich being popped out.)

Out pops the bite-sized pieces of food.

Make a fun meal. This was our Patterns Muffin Tin.

And some melon for dessert.

The FunBites cutter worked well on all the food, except for a little extra rocking needed for the green pepper with its thick skin. However, it was cut through enough that I just needed to break the pieces apart.

Now, you are probably thinking it looks like there is a lot of waste with the crust and pieces of veggies and fruit. That made a nice lunch for mommy.

Oh, and mommy did enjoy a few of the bite-sized pieces. There is something yummy about eating little bite-sized pieces. And I guess if it amuses this mommy so much it has got to be fun for children, even picky children.

I guess the one thing I had concerns about was not knowing for sure if I have it clean enough in the crevices. Yes, it is able to go in the dish washer (top rack only), but then I would end up with water in the holes. So I washed it by hand after soaking it, and rinsed it really well.

In spite of that, I love this innovative little kitchen tool. I love that it is BPA free. I love the ease of use. I love the uniform shapes that were cut out. And I love that the food just looks so cute. So did the children.

And I love that it is made in the US of A.

Do you like to create fun lunches for your child? Do you want to cut fun finger foods for a party? Do you have a picky eater? Then you have got to check out FunBites.

Head on over to their site for ideas, instructions and a video.

And check them out of Facebook and Twitter.

I have been given the opportunity to give you a chance to win a FunBites of your very own. You get to choose between the Cube It! and Love It! Cutter. Just fill out the Rafflecopter form below. And, as always, you do NOT have to fill out every entry. There is only 1 mandatory entry. But the more entries you fill out the better your chances of winning. And don't forget to stop by daily to fill out your daily entries.

Giveaway is open to US and Canada

Giveaway runs May 24th 12:01am through June 9th 11:59pm

BODY WASH GIVEAWAY!

This is your chance to WIN (1) 8oz. bottle of NISIM Clinical Strength Body Lotion & (1) 8oz. bottle of NISIM Clinical Strength Body Wash ($49.95 total retail value).

(1) 8oz NISIM Body Lotion & (1) 8oz NISIM Body Wash (both clinical strength)

Nisim, Thegiveawaytree and nanarobertascrafts.blogspot.com have teamed up to bring you this NISIM Body Lotion & Body Wash Set giveaway. NISIM Clinical Strength Body Wash has been scientifically formulated to cleanse, condition and tone areas of the body that are prone to problem conditions such as excessive dryness. *Read the back of the bottles for directions before using*. I tried both the body lotion and the body wash. The body lotion upon application made my body feel smooth and silky but I, personally, thought the scent was a little strong. The body wash smelled pleasant, didn't over lather and left my body feeling soft and silky. I think with more persistent use, this clinically strengthened lotion and body wash would be more effective. I liked the design and ease of both the body lotion and body wash bottles.
