*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 I'm currently 6 months pregnant, and lately my feet have been swelling a little bit. Splett Sports gave me a wonderful pair of compression socks to try out, and they really made a difference! The socks came in an attractive black and white striped design that will go with any of my outfits easily. They're in a one size fits all Medium size. I'm a women's size 7.5 and they were a little large on me, the heel was up on my ankle. They measure 13.5" long and went all the way up to my knees. The material is very breathable and durable and seems of great quality! 
 Putting them on took a minutes since they're tight, but that's how they're supposed to be. They were nice and snug and didn't slip or move around after hours of wearing them around the house. The socks were actually very comfortable and my feet didn't ache as much as they usually do. I love these socks and will be wearing them quite a bit now!

Review- Mom To Be Sash

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 I'm currently six months pregnant, and starting to get pretty big now. It's hard for a pregnant woman to feel special when she's waddling around and having trouble bending over. This Mom to Be sash is a perfect little accessory to help her feel more special!
  The sash is made of a satiny material that is smooth and pleasant to the touch, it's not all scratchy where it can irritate you if you need to wear it for a long time such as a baby shower. The words are in a beautiful silver glitter that really sparkles in the light! The sparkles actually stay on very well and you don't leave a trail of fairy glitter behind you as you walk around. The sash is large enough to easily accommodate riding over the most pregnant of bellies. This sash is absolutely perfect for a baby shower, photo op or just to wear around and feel special when you're pregnant!

Review- Mamaway Baby Sling

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

  As I'm expecting my second lil boy in just a few months, I'm starting to really look into slings and carriers. The Mamaway Baby Sling exceeded my expectations in what I was looking for in a sling!
 Baby slings are a very widely encouraged way to keep your baby close to you. They have so many benefits, it's hard to list them all! They help reduce crying by being more comfortable for babies than the traditional carriers and they develop a sense of security and trust by being closer to you. They also promote learning by letting the baby view all your activities and learning from you rather than staring at a ceiling or wall from a crib or stroller. Baby slings are also ideal for breastfeeding by improving their posture and frequency of breastfeeding while still staying discreet. Wearing a baby in a sling will also ease the strain on your back!

​  The Mamaway baby sling came in a nice pewter gray color with pink stitching. It is very well made from 100% Pima cotton and is of a very sturdy and durable material. The stitching is very tightly done and overall, the whole thing is very sturdy and high quality! The sling is breathable, allergy-free, and soft enough to not irritate your baby's sensitive skin. The rings are made of a plastic like material and are smooth to the touch in case the lil one decides to teeth or play with them. 
  Putting the sling on can take a little bit of practice but it's pretty easy once you figure it out. You basically set the ring over one shoulder, loop around behind your back and then around over your belly to thread through the loops. There's several different ways you can position the baby, mainly depends on size, activity and preference. I absolutely love this baby sling, and I'm super excited about using it soon! I love the color and the style of it! They also have a ton of other different colors too!

Review- Akeekah Pacifier Clips

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 I was recently introduced to Akeekah baby product by trying out some of their bandana bibs. The bibs were of absolutely great quality and so adorable! The quality of these pacifier clips definitely met my expectations, and I'm definitely an Akeekah fan now!
  The pacifier clips some in a 4 pack and have double sided designs perfect for either gender. There's a black n white polka dot with black n white chevrons on the other side, an orange polka dot with green chevrons on the other side, a red white n blue geometric design with red zig zags on the revers and a rainbow polka dot with rainbow zig zags on the other side. I absolutely love all the designs and look forward to pairing them with the perfect outfits! The material is 100% polyester, grosgrain ribbon with top notch stitching, resulting in maximum strength and color richness. They're very sturdy and can definitely stand up to a lot of handling from the little one.

 The clip is very durable and secure to use without damaging clothing. It's made of a plastic material that is safer than metal if they decide to mouth it. You can attach these handy clips basically anywhere- on clothing, strollers, blankets, carriers, or even on you! To attach the clip, you have to pull up a lever to open the alligator mouth. Once they're on something, they're there to stay and it takes quite a bit of effort to pull it off. I found that if you double the elastic loop around the pacifier, it stays on much more secure, otherwise it's too loose. But if you double it, it's there to stay and is on very tight and secure. I actually think that's a good option since you can make the loop fit pretty much any pacifier shape or size out there!
  Overall, these clips surpassed my expectations and I'm a true Akeekah fan now! They really do have top quality baby products!

Review- Akeekah Baby Bandana Bibs

2/12/2016

**I was not paid for this review! I received these items heavily discounted for my honest review!**

  I just recently "discovered" baby bandana bibs. I think they are just so adorable, and they're also like a fashion statement while still being completely functional! I was given the opportunity to review this Unisex bandana bib set by Akeekah. Since I'm currently expecting my second lil boy in a few months, I jumped at the chance to review these.
Picture
Picture
Picture
 The 4 pack of unisex bibs I received was absolutely adorable. There is a teal chevron pattern, black and grey zigzag pattern, multi-colored arrows , and blue and tan chevron pattern. They are all unisex and would definitely work well for either boys or girls easily. 
   The first thing I noticed (besides the adorable designs), was how they underside is nicely padded and very soft. These bibs would be perfect to put on a shirtless baby without any chafing whatsoever! The snaps are metal with two different positions on each side for the perfect fit. The bibs are nice and precut, so you don't have to worry about folding them to the perfect bandana shape. They seem very durable, the edges are well stitched and these seem like high quality bibs! And have I mentioned that they are just too adorable?
If you'd like to get some for your little one, they're available here:

Review - Iridesi Etched Glass Nail Files

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!


 I like to keep my nails naturally long. Over the years, I've tried countless different types of nail files. I've never tried an etched glass nail file, and I must say, I'm blown away with the results!
Picture
Picture
 The Iredesi etched glass nail file set comes in a nice little box and each file also has it's own storage tube. This would make an absolutely perfect gift for somebody! There is a larger file that measures 5.5" long and a shorter one that measures 3.5". The little tubes they come in are very sleek and will easily fir into a purse without taking up much room whatsoever. You can even put the smaller one in your pocket comfortably as well.
   I loved using this etched glass file! It has a bit of a different texture thn a metal one, but I dound it a lot smoother and easier to use. They are a little thicker, making it harder to get the fine corners, but they gave me super fast results. They did prevent splitting and those rough scraggles that sometimes happen with metal or cardboard files. I definitely love these files, they're my new favorites! They're so pretty that I can easily display them in my bathroom without the boys complaining.

 Every girl loves jewelry- especially dainty little pieces that will add a little sparkle to a simple outfit! Rosa Vila makes some really cute little jewelry pieces that i just instantly fell in love with!
Picture

The pineapple necklace is an adorable dainty little necklace that will go with any outfit you can think of! I tried out the rose gold tone one, but they also come in a gold tone and silver tone as well. With a 17" long chain, this necklace is high enough to be visible above an average cut t-shirt without slipping beneath and hiding it's beauty from your view. The pineapple pendant only measures 1 inch and is very delicate looking. It has a classic lobster claw clasp that is very easy to put on by yourself. This necklace is a perfect gift for women or even men of any age- it's timeless! The pineapple reminds me of summer days and being by the beach!  I absolutely love this dainty little necklace and have begun wearing it quite often!

With a 17" long chain, this necklace is high enough to be visible above an average cut t-shirt without slipping beneath and hiding it's beauty from your view. Made of stainless steel, it wont leave that dreaded green gunk around your neck after wearing it for a time. The compass pendant only measures .3 inches across and is very delicate looking. It has a classic lobster claw clasp that is very easy to put on by yourself. This necklace is a perfect gift for women or even men of any age- it's timeless! The compass symbolizes the desire to explore life and discovering new twists and turns around every corner. Explore life- make a wish and put it in your necklace and carry it with you through your daily journeys. I absolutely love this dainty little necklace and have begun wearing it quite often!

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product heavily discounted for my honest opinion!

  Warning! This shirt helps save cats!!! Now how can it get any better than that? This adorable t-shirt actually has a purpose besides looking cute on you! Arm the Animals is an organization that strives to make activism fashionable by creating killer apparel to help cash strapped animal care organizations.4,000,000 - 5,000,000 animals are euthanized every year because people simply don't do the basics such as spaying, neutering,  feeding,  and loving their furry friends. Shelters are constantly running low on funds to help care for the overflow of desperate animals. Arm the Animals graciously donates a portion of every sale to a number of highly reputable shelters with a NO KILL policy. So go ahead and feel good about yourself when you order one of these shirts because you're also helping some animals out too!
Picture
The shirt itself is very soft and extremely comfortable and fits very well.  I love the black color as it's neutral and can be paired with a number of pants I own.  And i mean it when I say that it's super comfortable! I'll definitely be lounging around the house a lot wearing this! I love the cute kitten throwing a grenade- it's funny and adorable! I'm going to really enjoy wearing this shirt out in public and explaining the cause behind it to anybody who asks. Wear your support with pride people and let's help some animals out!

 Even my six year old son thought this t-shirt was too cool, and I had to chase him around the house to get it back from him! The shirt itself is very soft and comfortable and fits very well.  I love the soft gray color as it's neutral and can be paired with a number of pants I own. This is a men's shirt, but women can definitely wear it too- I do! I love the cute kitten throwing a grenade- it's funny and adorable!
