ShāToBu™

So, summer is coming up. Oh, how I have a love hate relationship with Summer. I love it because I get to get out of this darn house and watch the kiddos play but hate it because I dream swim suite time. My kids are like fish, they live in the pool at Summer time. I am always looking for a bathing suite to 'slim me down' and it's hard. So luckily I found a company that can help me before the swim suite count down!

My review:
I was home cleaning when I remembered I had ShāToBu™ to review. Why not kill 2 birds with one stone. I would love to burn extra calories while cleaning! So, I went to put it on and it was so small, I though I would never fit in to it!But I did, a little stretching is all it took! I felt a little extra resistance but its subtle enough to still be a comfortable fit for frequent wear. I knew it was doing it's job. I continued cleaning with it on for about a hour and felt great. I love the idea of it! I would recommended any women who's looking for a little extra help.It makes me want to work out just having it on!

1 other fun note:
With regular use 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, a woman can potentially burn up to 30,000 extra calories in one year with ShaToBu” =))

Here is how Sew loved boutique got started.From the owner,Rebecca:
I started my business in 2010 while my husband was deployed in Iraq. I wanted something for "me" to be proud of and I enjoyed making tutus and dresses for my daughter, and I was going to school for Fashion merchandising so I decided to take a chance. =)

I am GLAD she took that chance! Her tutus are extremely full and fluffy! I received a hot pink tutu w.a dainty little flower to match. Her tutu's are the best quality, fullness, curtest I've ever reviewed. When I received it, it was packaged very nicely so the tutu don't get all knotted and wrinkled. Here is my daughter modeling it:

By the looks of her face, you can really tell that she was feeling her tutu ;D
She thought she was just a little diva in it! Isn't that how little ones should feel in a tutu ;D So, her big sis put on some Justin Bieber and they danced for a hour in her tutu! She would "shake it" in her tutu! It was the cutest thing ever!

Not only does she make beautiful tutu's she also makes
tutu dresses

The Daddy's girl is a one of a kind sewn tutu dress with a twist! This dress is made with Army ACU uniform fabric and tons of coordinating tulle! I have attached a fabric flower on a removable clip, for a touch of sweetness.

Cute as a button towels

Do your kids pull towel off the rack when they go to dry their hands and then NOT put them back. Mine do!! Your little ones probably do too ;D So, I've found a genius product made by a mom. Cute as a button hand towels. There are 2 buttons that let you button your towel to your rod. Now, you don't have to keep picking up the towel from the floor! Yay!

Here is the one I was sent to review:

From there website:Each Cute as a Button Hand Towel begins with a thick, white 16" x 30", 100% cotton towel and is finished with 100% polyester grosgrain ribbon. We make each with the utmost care and attention to detail. And they are proudly made in the USA. And a portion of every purchase is donated to the American Heart Association!

There are plenty of other designs besides the "beach" theme I received. Here are a few:




Fun huh? Click here to see all there wide variety of towel designs maybe they have one for your bathroom or kitchen.

Bummas

I would hat to see the total amount of baby wipes I've purchased in 2 years!! Ahhh!

Thankfully, I came to my scents and started using home made baby wipes and wipe solution. Since my daughter started potty training she don't use regular tolite paper, at least not right now, so I make her some home made wipe solution and use Bummas =) Thanks to Bummas they help me cut my cost in half! Besides saving money using Bummas you can virtually eliminate irritating diaper rash without the use of powders, talcs, and ointments.

What are Bummas?
Bummas are small soft, luxurious baby-sized cloths made especially for drying baby bottoms, as well as blocking those surprise squirts. And with a little douse of water, they can also replace wet wipes for clean up of sensitive bums. They are small enough to conveniently carry on the go and durable enough to wash over and over again and won’t pill shrink or fade.

I was sent a pack of "wild ones" Bummas for this review.


SO Swap out your commercial wipes an us Bummas instead...over and over and over and over!!

Hard Candy

When I first heard of Hard Candy I was a teen.I remember there nail polish that came with a ring!! Which is still available today.


Remeber?! =)
While they have some hot bold colors they also have some every day looks. Like this Plumping Serum=Fat Pout Lip Gloss. I had the pleasure of reviewing this and there Eye Def- High def glittering cream eye shadow!

The color I recived was Cake walk (love there names btw)
This is a pretty pink gloss with a tab bit of glitter. You can wear it everyday.
So, I put this gloss on felt a little bit of a tingle. It slightly plumped up my lips. My lips are already some what big to start with lol. But, I loved the color.

This is the other item I got to review:

Eye Def - high def glittering cream eye shadow color:algae

Eye Def is a unique formulation that coats the lid with fine glitter and a base shadow color.Coverage and sparkle in one application that lasts all day! Ultra pigmented shades infused with flecks and an over-sized, angled, doe foot applicator.

I'll be honest, I wasn't lovin' the color. Green don't look good on me. Other than me not loving the color this eye shadow is a stick not a powder. It goes on a little wet but dries instantly. So, you don't need a primer, this eye shadow stays put! Just look at the shine it will give your eyes!

Now that's a lot of glitter!

If this green isn't for you it comes in other colors like,blue, purple, teal, pink and a few other colors.

You can purchase Hard Candy at your local Walmart!

Leak proof sippy cups , mom's best friend!

My daughter is 2 and still uses a 'sippy cup' for the car rides.I don't leave home with out a sippy cup, and she don't let me! Tommee Tippee has made a genius sippee flip straw cup for ages 12 months and older.
Here is what it looks like:
Right away I took these out and told my daughter that these were her "water cup" she was excited to use them. I really like the flexi straw. There's no way your little one can bite threw them! I also like them becuase it's better for there teeth. Aposted to the hard plastic cups. The only thing I didn't like about these cups are, it was hard to get the water out of them. My toddler had to suck really hard to try and get the water out. So, I tried to see why she was so frustrated for, and it was. You don't get much water out of them. But, there easy to clean. The straw comes off for easy clean. I liked that you can get 2 of them in a pack. So , if your walking out the door and don't have time to clean 1 you can use the 2nd one.

You can buy and find all of Temmee Tippe products at Babiesrus.com/tommeetippee.
