Review and GIVEAWAY: Harvey Prince AGELESS Fragrance

12-27-2011 ** Categories: Health and Beauty, Product Reviews / Tags: ,

This giveaway is now closed ~ Congratulations, Sujaan!

I recently received a set of fragrances by Harvey Prince to review. While great for all seasons, I found these scents to be a great pick-me-up for winter. Just a dab lasts all day long and best of all, all of their fragrances are completely free of parabens and toxins. As a mom, having a totally safe go-to scent is important, and I love that I can confidently recommend this brand to my readers.

Who is Harvey Prince?

Our mother is our inspiration: she radiates warmth and turns heads wherever she goes. Harvey Prince is a salute to breathing magic into every moment, and taking on every day with confidence. We hope your new fragrance will bring out the magic you have inside of you.

Harvey Prince fragrance review

Harvey Prince scents are crafted using high-quality, eco-friendly ingredients. Most mainstream perfumes are loaded with chemicals – When you see “fragrance” listed on any product, that term is completely unregulated and is often the most toxic component in beauty items. Harvey Prince fragrances contain NO parabens, phthalates, PCBs, BPAs, GMOs, or sulfates. I am constantly cuddling my son, not to mention nursing and sharing a bed with him, so having a safe scent is very important to me. (Those chemicals can stay in your body for years – It is recommended that you start avoiding them before you even think about trying to conceive. They are especially dangerous for little developing bodies but by no means safe for adults either.) I love that Harvey Prince cares about their customers and the environment as well as their product. The result is a guilt-free everyday fragrance.

I spent a few weeks sampling six of Harvey Prince’s fabulous scents and trying to determine my favorite. After lots of smelling and much deliberation, my husband and toddler helped me decide on my fave fragrance. (Sebastian loves to smell things for me – He even has a baby sign to ask for a sniff.) It was close, but our top pick was… AGELESS.

About Ageless

You can read more about the science of Harvey Prince anti-age perfume – I just love the way it smells! The scent is mostly light, slightly fruity and floral, but just musky enough to smell grown-up. Ageless uses pink grapefruit and mango to counteract smells of aging, and also carries notes of jasmine, tuberose, ylang ylang, and sandalwood.

Tropical Traditions Natural Deodorant review & giveaway

06-21-2011 ** Categories: Product Reviews / Tags: , ,

This giveaway is now closed ~ Congratulations to Raven In A Blue Room

I have been on the hunt for a natural deodorant for awhile now. Like many people, I have concerns about aluminum, but mostly I hate the residue conventional deodorants leave behind. Dove, Secret and other brands leave behind a film that makes my underarms impossible to shave smoothly. Between the residue itself and the irritation caused from shaving and scrubbing, my armpits were never pretty… until now.

Tropical Traditions Classic DeodorantTropical Traditions Aluminum-Free Natural Deodorant gets rid of odor but washes away clean in the shower, making shaving easy and leaving underarms smooth and conditioned. I really should have taken before and after photos as I am now so much more confident in lifting my arms.

All of Tropical Traditions’ natural deodorants are organic, made with coconut oil, baking soda, natural scents and oils. I chose the Classic smell because of my love for tea tree oil and patchouli. They also offer Lavender and Frankincense. Tropical Traditions deodorants are roll-ons and go on as a cool liquid. They are great sizes for traveling and you can reapply as needed with no gunkiness.

Win your own Tropical Traditions roll-on deodorant

One reader will win their own Tropical Traditions deodorant in your choice of scent.

Do any or all of the below to enter. There is no one mandatory entry, just choose the ones you like:

Milk Nursingwear review & giveaway!

06-20-2011 ** Categories: Baby, Product Reviews / Tags: ,

This giveaway is now closed ~ Congratulations to Jessica!

I recently received a Cobacabana lace nursing bra from Milk Nursingwear to review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Hot pink Cobacabana bra

I was really excited to have some pretty nursing wear, and this bra is very pretty. I love the color. It is not quite as comfortable as my Bravado but it is very comfortable and perfect for tops where my bra straps might peek out. Sometimes I love a bit of hot pink or black lace poking out from under a white tank! The bra cups are lined with cotton and it is easy to unhook each side with one hand, although the clasps don’t snap closed as hard as I would like. It definitely beats the crap out of the similarly-priced Medela bra I bought the week Sebastian was born.

The Cobacabana bra is a perfect sexy bra that you can still nurse in, and Milk Nursingwear has many more styles of bras, nursing tops, nursing sleepwear and more.

Win $50 to Milk Nursingwear

One reader will win $50 to spend at Milk Nursingwear.

Do one or both to enter (one entry each):

- Tweet the following:

WOW the nursing wear by Milk Nursingwear is so pretty www.milknursingwear.com.

- Like Milk Nursingwear on Facebook.
