something for me.. and something for my babe

I recently purchased a crocheted cotton bath pouf from a mama to try out. At first, when i recieved it, I was kind of wondering if it would work as well as a storebought acrylic/plastic pouf because i'm used to them being larger and feeling scrubby.. this one was smaller and felt very soft.

After the first use, I was pleasantly surprised to find that even though it wasn't scrubby or large, it felt quite nice against my skin.. kind of like a homemade wash cloth.

I still keep my acrylic pouf around for when I feel like i need a good scrub down.. but I do enjoy this lovely pouf.. made custom to the color I wanted. :)

I also tested some organic diaper rash cream made by the same mama.. it came in a tube (the twisty kind, like chapstick.. but bigger).. Just in time for my child to be going through a rash phase! I started using it immediately.. and in a day or so the dry parts started softening and red parts started diminishing. It is completely gone now.. and it has only taken a few days.

I would HIGHLY recommend this diaper rash cream to ANY mom.. not just cloth diaper moms.. because it's a natural product, not manufactured by a big cooperation, but helping a mom at home make a living. And the container it comes in is also recyclable. And the price was great. :)

You should definitely check out her products!

I LOVE my new deodorant!! :)

Palace Scents amazes me once again with her homemade talents.. I received a cream deodorant in the mail.. in a little case that looks kinda' like lip gloss. I immediately unscrewed the purple top marked "orange vanilla".. YUM! :) And of course my kids had to sniff it.. lol. They loved it too. :)

Where with my commercial roller deoderant I have to reapply up to 3 times a day.. I only have to use this cream once or twice!! LOVE IT!

It's like a built in confidence booster.. smelling like a sweet treat while keeping dry!

Check out her natural homemade products on facebook and weebly!

Pretty Pretties

GORGEOUS handiwork.. I almost can't believe these are handmade! I always drewl at her clippies. :) I got this ladybug clip as my first venture into the world of hair pretties.. my now 4 year old, Jazmine, wanted it so bad.. so i got it for her birthday, though she didn't have enough hair for it unless there was a pigtail first. :P (pictured is my 3 year old, Alivia, with massive curly hair)

Brandy Walker's Pretty Pretties handmade clippies are sold on her Facebook fanpage and also she has a checkout cart on weebly.com, also on hyenacart. Always a great selection to choose from and a decent price.

Hair Paradise

Cortney Kellen of Baby Hair Paradise loves to make pretty bows to let little girls play and see how pretty they are. :) My girls LOVE the little yellow flowered clippies and the GREAT BIG flower in their hair :) When i was perusing her clippy pics, my 3 year old said "can we buy the yellow flowers?" :) Even with just a picture, she already loved them. :)

My favorite feature of hers is that you can get them with a headband that fits from 9 mth up to 4 years and beyond (especially for when they dont have much hair!).. and the clips are so easy to use! Change your mood/style 5 times a day if you like! Easy enough for a child to use. :)
Priced very well.. I love these and will get more in the future :) May have to order a bow holder too! Not much room left in my ziploc.. lol
