Summertime is officially here, and we all know what that means...It's time to PARTY! Whether it be barbecues, pool parties, or huge play dates, kids LOVE warm weather parties! We personally look forward to summer, since my father-in-law frequently has get-togethers that involve family and friends, great food, and swimming! As a matter of fact, it was at one of these gatherings last year that I discovered the joys of guacamole! (That's a separate post in itself,lol) So heading over to his house is one of the highlights of our summer, so we're thrilled that swim season has officially begun! One great way to announce all of your summertime events is with cute party invitations from Amy Adele. Amy Adele has a HUGE selection of kids birthday invites, as well as labels (some waterproof!), stationary, announcements, and even some really cute gifts! They have pre-designed invitations with fun, whimsical themes, as well as invitations that you can customize with your own photos! Here are some of my favorite designs over at Amy Adele: I absolutely love the unique, fun designs featured at Amy Adele. They have so many different themes available, I had a very hard time choosing which invitations I wanted for my review. None of my children have summer birthdays, so the pool party invites I had my eye on were out of the question, unfortunately. I decided to get a joint birthday party invitation for Sophie's 2nd birthday and Xander's 1st birthday. Their birthdays are only 2 weeks apart, so this made perfect sense to me. I chose the Two Monkeys Invitations for their joint birthday bash. For privacy's sake and to avoid party crashers, I am showing you the stock image rather than the actual invitations I received. How cute is that?! I love these invitations. They're bright, colorful, and feature a boy and a girl monkey, which is definitely a fun representation of my babies! These invitations arrived very quickly, came well-packaged, and included envelopes. These cute invitations are also very high quality. They are printed on nice, sturdy cardstock and the colors of the inks are vibrant and crisp. I love the details in this product. Especially in the wrapping paper on the images of the gifts! I am quite pleased with my Amy Adele invitations, and I can't wait until January approaches and we can send these adorable invitations to family and friends. They're sure to be a hit! Want to order some cute party invitations for your next bash? Here's how to connect! BUY IT: You can buy these and hundreds of other designs on the Amy Adele website. You can also follow Amy Adele on Facebook and on twitter for their latest news and promotions!

Tomoson Product review & giveaway Disclosure. If there's one thing most women love more than shoes, it's a good handbag. I own several, and find that I can always use just one more... A handbag is the perfect addition to any outfit, and can provide not only a place to store all of your "woman-stuff" as my husband likes to call it, but also can give any look a pop of color and a ton of personality. I will admit, I am not one for dainty little purses. Anyone who knows me knows that I carry a good 20lbs of stuff around with me at all times. Yes, really. My handbag can be considered a veritable black hole full of cosmetics, hair brushes, pacifiers, baby toys, band-aids, and even Childrens Tylenol. My husband is afraid to go into my purse because he never knows WHAT he might find in there! Being a mom automatically means you have a lot more stuff to lug around. Being the mom of a preteen and TWO babies? Well, you can only imagine...Even though motherhood means that upsizing your handbag is an inevitable move, you don't have to sacrifice style in doing so. So one thing I appreciate is a bag that's roomy, functional and fashionable! I don't like carrying plain Jane canvas tote bags just to have enough room for all of my stuff. Sure, they serve their purpose, and I use them for shopping frequently. But as a fashion statement? No way, Jose! I prefer my bags to have more character than that! I like them to get noticed. And I recently stumbled upon a fantastic company that makes gorgeous handbags in a wide variety of colors and styles. This company is taking the fashion world by storm. If you haven't heard of Navoh, trust me: You will. Navoh's high-fashion, luxury handbags have been popping up in some pretty prestigious places lately. They have been featured in many major fashion publications like Redbook, InStyle Magazine, Life & Style, Lucky Magazine, and even in O, The Oprah Magazine! (And we all know that Oprah has impeccable taste!) It seems that everyone wants to get their hands on these trendy yet classy bags! Check out their Spring '11 Collection, and you'll see why! There is literally something for everyone, and in so many different colors! Maybe you like an ethnic, exotic handbag..Or perhaps a Bohemian feel...Or maybe you prefer something more classic suits you to a T. No matter what your individual style may be, Navoh has got you covered. Here's more about Navoh and their unique vision that inspires their beautiful and lovingly created handbags: And here is just a small sampling of the handbags created by the imaginative design team at Navoh: Aren't those fabulous?! I was lucky enough to receive the Tina bag in Aqua for my review. I LOVE this bag! Tina's a luxe tote to give any outfit a lift this season. The Aqua color is fun and vibrant, and gives a beautiful pop of color to your look. I especially love this bag paired with a neutral colored sundress or with some dark wash skinny jeans paired with a dark top or a simple tank. What a perfect look for summer! Tina is a textured PU bag with gold tone hardware. This gorgeous bag also features an internal pocket and a zipper compartment. The bag is also quite roomy, and can easily accommodate all of your girly-things! Here are the measurements of the Tina: Width 14" Height 4" Depth 13" Handle Drop 7" *Includes Detachable Adjustable Messenger Straps I adore this bag for so many reasons. It is very well-constructed and durable, and I love the clean lines in this bag. Paired with the fun color options, they have taken a classic look to a bold and flirty new level. The interior is a camel color, and is made of a very soft material, almost like a microsuede in feel. Here are some photos of this awesome handbag: So as you can see, these bags are downright amazing! And on top of the fact that they're beautiful, trendy and fashion-forward, they are also affordable. They have so many uniquely designed handbags to choose from, and each and every one is sure to get you noticed and make you the envy of all your friends and colleagues. I love my Navoh handbag, and you will too! Here's how you can make your wardrobe POP with Navoh! HOW TO CONNECT: You can purchase Navoh handbags on their website as well as at select fine retailers. You can also follow Navoh on Facebook and on twitter to stay on top of their latest designs and promotions! SPEAKING OF PROMOTIONS....

I am really excited about my next Sponsor for my October In Honor Of The Tatas Giveaway Hop event! Since having 2 babies in 2 years, I am thrilled to say I can finally put away all of my maternity clothing and break out all of my cute, smaller clothing. Yes, I may be pushing 30, but I still love wearing trendier clothing. I love sundresses, cute tops and tanks, and of course leggings and skinny jeans! Hey, just because I'm a mom doesn't mean I am doomed to wear the dreaded "Mom Jeans" or ANY kind of pleated pants...I think the Fashion Police would lock me up and throw away the key if I let motherhood hinder my tastes! I recently discovered a great place to find all of the latest fashions, and all for a very affordable price! I would love to tell you more about this great online shopping boutique! Lovemode is an awesome online store that offers a huge selection of trendy juniors clothing that won't break the bank. And when I say huge selection, I do mean HUGE! Lovemode carries something to suit every taste, and specializes in adorable tops, bottoms, dresses, denim, and even a wide variety of great accessories to pull your look together. I literally spend hours drooling over all of their fabulous clothing! Here are some of the pieces that are on MY wish list: And this is just a VERY small representation of the HUNDREDS of great pieces that Lovemode has to offer! I love these fun, flirty styles that are so perfect for summer! I received this super-cute Blue Purple Tie Dye Dress for my review. This dress is nothing short of amazing! It is made of a Rayon/Spandex blend, and is extremely soft to the touch. Think of your favorite, worn-in tee, only better! The fabric of this dress feels wonderful against the skin, and offers a bit of stretch which is great for those of us who have some boobage going on. I got a size medium, and it accommodated my D-Cup tatas with no issues at all. I probably could (and should) have ordered a small seeing how this dress fits. While it is definitely true to size, it does allow for that extra stretch, so don't be afraid to size down slightly if you prefer a more fitted appearance. Also, as you can see from the photo at the top of this post and the photo to your left, the model is apparently MUCH taller than me. I expected the dress to be a little shorter, as seen on the model. I am 5'4", and it falls right to the knee. I am not complaining, though, since I like dresses of all different lengths. Another thing I love about this dress is that it features an empire waist that is very flowy and breezy feeling. This is perfect if you have a little bit of a belly pooch you'd like to conceal. (You mamas know exactly what I mean!) The dress is also very comfortable. So comfortable, in fact, you might not want to take it off! I have worn this dress several times now, and I am happy to say that after about 10 washes, it still looks and feels brand new. The colors are still beautiful and vibrant, and there has been absolutely no pilling or loose threads to be found. This is the perfect dress to wear...well, anywhere! I have worn this shopping, running errands, to the park, and even out to eat. You can dress it up with heels or dress it down with cute sandals. You could even wear this as a swimsuit cover-up during an outing to the beach or pool! Yep, it's really that versatile! Overall, I am VERY happy with my experience with Lovemode. Their selection is huge, and they have so many things that I would be happy to add to my wardrobe. Don't let the price tags fool you, either. These garments are MUCH higher quality than you would expect from items in this price range. You are getting department store quality at Walmart prices! Gotta love that! So if you're looking for cheap juniors clothing that is made to last, all while being cute and comfortable, definitely check out Lovemode! I know I will be adding more of their awesome collection to my closet! (As soon as I can make more room in there!) I am THRILLED to let you all know that once the In Honor Of The Tatas event begins this October, Lovemode will be offering a $25.00 gift certificate to their store! And trust me, $25.00 will buy something fabulous! In the meantime, here's how you can connect! HOW TO CONNECT: You can buy Lovemode's clothing and accessories on their website.

So while entering sweeps, I somehow got phished and spam e-mails were sent from my e-mail account the other day. I changed my password and assumed all was fine. WRONG! AOL stinks and was a bit behind...They had the courtesy to let me know WELL after I figured it out, and have locked my e-mail account. I tried to log in and reset my password AGAIN like they requested. I had a series of security questions to answer. Well, it must be case sensitive, because it STILL wouldn't let me in...And I know I had the right answers! And to top it all off, AOL help desk is closed on Sundays, and they don't have any available online support, either. So if anyone has e-mailed me, I will not be able to access my account for another 24 hours. I am sure I will have to physically call them and gripe. I was already aware I had been phished, and had already changed my passwords....So why would they lock my account down well after I had already reset everything? Grrr...So frustrating! There are e-mails I have to respond to, and now I can't. I do not like AOL.
***Update: So I found 24/7 online "help" if you want to call it that, and talked to 2 representatives, and they are NO help AT ALL. I had to repeat myself about 100 times and then was told to call support Mon-Fri...Call support? Aren't the online reps SUPPORT? That's what they were advertised as being! Help my butt. Someone is going to hear from me tomorrow, and I will not be happy. It takes a LOT to get me angry, too...Why work as customer support if you cannot provide just that? Congrats to Jessica, who is the lucky winner of my Scott's Liquid Gold Prize Pack! Jessica, I am e-mailing you now! Please respond within 48 hours to claim your prize!
Thanks to all who entered! Make sure to check out my current giveaways! I have some great ones! First, I have to say I am SO excited to have been given the opportunity to review this product. I have seen it Cosmetics on QVC and also noticed that their Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Waterproof Concealer won Total Beauty's coveted award for the BEST concealer in 2010. Now I am a big fan of Total Beauty, and I know how high their standards are! So if they love this product, I knew it just had to be something special, and I was intrigued to see what the buzz was all about. So I contacted the nice folks over at it Cosmetics, and they readily agreed to send me this product to review. I was ecstatic! I have a big problem with dark under-eye circles. Heredity doesn't help, as I am olive complected and am naturally pre-disposed to them to begin with. Add in bad allergies which cause itchy eyes and constant rubbing along with the fact that I have a preteen and 2 babies and average about 2-3 hours of sleep per day, and it's no wonder my dark circles are terrible! I have struggled to find a product that would conceal this embarrassing problem area, and have had very limited success in the past. I have found many concealers do not have enough coverage, appear caked on or obvious, or settle too easily into creases, just amplifying the problem. Needless to say, I was absolutely stoked to try the it Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye. Could this really be my miracle fix? Before I get into my review, I'd like to tell you more about this product. The science behind it explains just why this concealer is among the absolute best on the market! PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Working hand in hand with the leading plastic surgeons in Brazil, It Cosmetics introduces Bye Bye Under Eye, a full coverage, highly pigmented concealer utilizing truly innovative technology and ingredients – giving women the power to finally say “bye bye” to those stubborn under-eye issues! Bye Bye Under Eye offers a waterproof, yet moisturizing formula that will stay put no matter what.? The truly innovative formula contains high concentrations of Vitamins K, A, C, E and Collagen - clinically proven to reduce under eye puffiness and discoloration while strengthening the delicate skin of the under eye area. More than just full coverage for under the eyes, the formula was developed, tested and is now used to conceal facial bruising and swelling on the face and body of surgery patients in the offices of some of the leading plastic surgeons in Brazil. For these patients highly pigment coverage is important – but more than that, they desire a moisturizing formula that won’t cling to fine lines and wrinkles and also contains skin loving and healing ingredients. Out of these needs and refinements, and after over a year of development to get it just right, Bye Bye Under Eye was born. “This formula is so highly pigmented that just a little goes a long way. Simply use a small pea-sized amount and with your finger (or a concealer brush) gently pat under and around your eye,” says Jamie Kern, creator of It Cosmetics™. “Using your pinky finger, pat a bit of concealer into the small indents along each upper side of the nose, between your bridge and the inner corner of your eyes. The skin in this area thins as we age and appears more blue, like a dark under eye circle. Concealing this area as well will make you appear instantly healthier and more youthful.” Additionally, the ultra-fine and creamy formula won’t cling to fine lines and wrinkles thereby not making them more visible as some concealers do. Bye Bye Under Eye is great for all skin tones and comes in four shades; light, neutral medium, tan and deep.* *Note: 70% of skin tones, including my own, fall within the natural medium range. WHAT'S MY OPINION? Oh. My. Gosh. I cannot say enough good things about this product!!! I will freely admit, I was a bit skeptical before using Bye Bye Under Eye. Sure, it looked great and won some prestigious awards, but I had been let down by so many products in the past. And many of the products that fell flat had great reviews, too. I did not expect the results that I achieved using Bye Bye Under Eye...Sure, I thought it might help a little...Maybe it would make the circles just a little less noticeable. But did I expect my horrid dark circles to virtually disapper? Not at all. Well, it Cosmetics made a fool of me and completely proved me wrong. This product delivers exactly what it promises to, and then some! When using this product, my dark circles don't appear less noticeable...They completely disappeared! WOW! Not only were they totally and completely camoflaged, I didn't notice any settling in creases or fine lines at all! And to make this product even better, there is no nasty feeling residue to this product. No heaviness or cakey feeling...Just the appearance of healthy, radiant skin. Skin WITHOUT dark circles! How long does this coverage last? Simple: Until YOU wash it off. Yes, really! This product is waterproof, sweat proof, and stays on beautifully. I have only needed to apply once and I am good to go for the rest of the day. No touch ups required! The size of the tube is also very generous and the tinest dab goes a LONG way. So this product will last and last! I could keep going on and on praising Bye Bye Under Eye, but instead, since a picture is worth a thousand words, I will SHOW you my results. I am doing the unthinkable and posting a photo of what I look like when I wake up. No make-up, no nothing. You can see my dark circles in all their glory. Also, I got ZERO sleep last night since I was busy drafting reviews and taking photos of products, so they were actually especially bad and I look SO tired...Not to mention the fact that my seasonal allergies have been killing me over the past few days and I have been rubbing my eyes a LOT! Can Bye Bye Under Eye help my awful appearance? Take a look for yourself: The results speak for themselves, don't you agree? Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Waterproof Concealer ROCKS! This is by far THE BEST concealer I have ever used. I am a make-up junkie, so this is saying a lot! I have found my "Miracle Fix" after all! This is literally like Photo Shop in a cute little tube.Thanks so much to it Cosmetics for allowing me to try this fanstastic product! Now I will have to look into all of their other products. If their concealer is this impressive, I'd love to see how the rest of their product line measures up! it Cosmetics has made a believer out of me.
And for $24.00, you won't break the bank! it Cosmetics is an innovative, affordable and effective make-up solution for all women! Who says beautiful faces are reserved for Hollywood? it Cosmetics is offering celebrity make-up secrets to ALL women! Gotta love it!

No other compensation was provided. My opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** This year for Father's Day, I wanted to get my wonderful husband something more special than your run of the mill greeting card. After all, he is a fantastic father...He changes diapers without being asked, he makes bottles, he kisses boo-boos and he loves his children above all else. He really goes above and beyond for all 3 of our kids, and I wanted to let him know just how important he is to us. I thank God every day that I have him in my life, and I feel incredibly lucky that he is the father of my children. He even views my oldest, who is not biologically his, as his own child. He never says "my step-son"....Only "my son." That counts for a lot as far as I'm concerned, and it means the world to my 11 year old as well. When I got the opportunity to review Mixbook, an online digital scrapbook service, I knew immediately that I wanted to create a special book for my husband, the most important man in my life, for Father's Day. And lo and behold, Mixbook even had an easy to use template specifically for the occasion! Easy as pie! Mixbook is very user friendly, too! Once you select your theme or template, you simply upload photos and then drag and drop them into the provided slots on the pre-loaded pages. You can then crop and reposition them to your liking. I love the fun designs that Mixbook has to offer, too. There is something available for literally every occasion, and you can easily and seamlessly create a scrapbook that your family will treasure for years to come. The scrapbook like feel to these photo books is a huge bonus as far as I am concerned. I love the look of scrapbooks but am not overly crafty, so I have never attempted to create one on my own. Mixbook also has wonderful, personal touches incorporated into their photo books, such as heartwarming quotes, beautiful themed layouts, as well as the ability to customize your book with captions of your choosing! I had a great time creating my Father's Day themed scrapbook from Mixbook, and once it arrived, I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. I received an 8 by 6 Landscape Softcover photo book for review, and it was well made, very detailed, and my photos look wonderful in this little book! It's also the perfect size for the recipient to take with them and use as a "brag book". Knowing my husband, he will do just that, as he loves bragging to anyone who will listen how great our kids are. He is definitely a proud father, and this is reflected within the pages of my Mixbook. Here are some photos of my Mixbook. I apologize for the odd coloring. My camera is on its last legs, and isn't working quite right lately. Plus, since this book is going to be a surprise, I had to wait until everyone was asleep and sneak off to take pictures. I will try and take some more in natural daylight, as I am not at all happy with the way they turned out. I couldn't use the flash, because it created an awful glare. So these photos look yellowish when the book is not yellow at all. This is due to the lighting in my home at night. These photos do not do this book justice! I will replace them ASAP. ***Update: Here are some daylight photos that are not discolored! Also be sure to check out my video review below to get a better look at this awesome photo book! Don't you want a Mixbook of your own now? I know I would love to have more of these little gems to give as gifts as well as to keep to pass down to my children as they get older. Mixbook is a wonderfully simple to use, fun project that you could even include the children in creating! They offer a wide range of themes, sizes, and also have a hardcover option available for added durability. Looking for photo cards or calendars? Mixbook has you covered there, too! Here's how to connect with Mixbook and start making memories of your own with this fabulous service! HOW TO CONNECT: You can purchase Mixbook photo books on their website.

As the stay-at-home mother of 3 awesome children, I am always looking for ways to save my family money without compromising on quality. Sine we are a one income family, we make a lot of sacrifices to provide for our children. I am constantly looking for the best bargains, and one place I am always able to find such deals is Walgreens. One thing I love about Walgreens is their store brand products. I have purchased everything from diapers (before we switched to cloth) to baby formula, and I even stock my family's first aid kits with products from Walgreens. The quality of the Walgreens brand products is similar to name brand items but for a fraction of the cost! Another way I save my family tons of money is by purchasing Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products I have suffered from heartburn for years now, and have to take a pill daily to keep my agonizing symptoms under control. Walgreens offers many very effective products to combat acid indigestion, and their products are just as effective as the more expensive name brand products I have used for years! Another issue we face in my home are seasonal and pet allergies. I am allergic to everything, it seems, and my oldest child seems to have inherited my massive cat allergy. Seriously, it's BAD. Even being around a cat or sitting on a couch that a cat lounges on will have me breaking out in hives, wheezing, sneezing, and struggling to breathe. Not to mention the itchy, watery eyes that make it appear that I have been crying for days on end! So while I am obviously not a cat person, I have several friends that are. So before we visit cat-friendly homes, I always make sure to take some allergy medication beforehand to ease my suffering. Walgreens offers as fantastic assortment of Allergy Relief Products that have been an absolute life-saver on multiple occasions. They even have convenient bulk sizes! And in my home, we NEED the bulk sizes. My personal favorite is the Wal-Dryl Allergy Relief Capsules. These are comparable to Benadryl, and even come in a 200 capsule bottle. For only $12.99, this is definitely a bargain! And most Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness products contain the same active ingredients as the national brands and carry a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. So not only can you provide your family with high-quality, affordable products by choosing Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products, by doing so you are also helping Walgreens give back to the community. Walgreens will contribute up to $3 million annually to the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ The Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ will provide free preventive health tests as well as other health and wellness services and education to local communities. Some of those services will include preventive health tests through the National Urban League Health & Wellness Tour and vouchers redeemable in select stores. I love a company that gives back! So many families and individuals cannot afford important health screenings, and I love that Walgreens recognizes this growing problem and is taking a stand to help those in need to be proactive regarding their health. Have you tried Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products yet? If you have, you know how effective they are for a fraction of the cost of national brands. If you haven't, there are several blogs participating in Walgreens gift cards giveaways! Feel free to check them out and enter for your chance to experience the Walgreens difference with your family! The next wonderful sponsor taking part in the In Honor Of The Tatas blog hop this October is Skin MD Natural.They produce a fantastic product called Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. This is NOT your average moisturizing lotion, by the way! This is a breakthrough product taking the skin care world by storm, and literally changing the lives of many who suffer from uncomfortable and often embarrassing skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, dry skin and even painful chafing. I spent quite a while browsing their website and reading hundreds of amazing testimonials from people all over who swear by this product to provide relief for their skin conditions. There are even a TON of wonderful before and after photos that show a dramatic difference. I was shocked and intrigued when I saw photos where dry skin, eczema and other skin issues all but disappeared thanks to this product. Why does Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion work? Here is a product overview: Skin MD Natural is a breakthrough in skin care that works to prevent dry skin in two ways. First, it assists the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture. The humectant (an ingredient that attracts moisture) used in Skin MD Natural is unique to it and has been laboratory tested to be 6 times more effective than any other you will find in common skin care products. Second, a shielding lotion enhances the power of the top layer of the skin to resist environmental irritants while protecting the inner natural moisture. This can be a big benefit for those who cook, wash dishes and garden because Skin MD Natural helps skin retain its natural moisture and oils in the face of all those irritating soaps and chemicals. Skin MD Natural has made a commitment to natural skin care by formulating products that contain more than 90% natural ingredients, are hypoallergenic, free of fragrances, parabens and colorants. All of the ingredients used in Skin MD Natural are 100% food-grade ingredients that are on the FDA's "most safe" list. Skin MD Natural brings you eco-friendly skin care products that manufactured using solar power while also being vegan and cruelty free. The manufacturer's websitewww.skinmdnatural.comhas hundreds of dermatologist and user reviews including many addressing severe dry skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis. I have actually found several uses for Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. As a mom, I am CONSTANTLY washing my hands. While cooking, cleaning with chemicals, after diaper changes...I must wash my hands 20 or 30 times per day. (I swear I do not have OCD,lol) Washing hands often, while good to keep germs at bay, can be incredibly drying. Often, my hands will feel parched and not as soft as I would like them to be. I have been using Skin MD Natural for the past week or so on my hands, and I have noticed a big difference in the way my hands feel! They are soft, moisturized, and almost renewed, despite the constant hand-washing! There is absolutely no greasy residue left behind when using this lotion, and it has a delicate, clean scent that is not at all overpowering. I also noticed that this lotion becomes more and more effective with each use. So the more you use it, the less often you will have to reapply to achieve the desired results. As it begins healing the skin, less product is required to keep skin healthy, vibrant, and wonderfully moist. I also use this as a primer for make-up. That's right! You can even use this lotion on the face! I have several facial moisturizers I love, but not all are make-up friendly. You ladies know what I mean...You put on your moisturizer and then apply your foundation, and it's almost as if the make-up peels or flakes off in reaction to the lotion on your face. Not too attractive! Well, with Skin MD Natural, the lotion absorbs so rapidly that make-up does not react to it one bit! This is now my go-to primer when I wear make-up! I have even been able to soothe my 5 month old, Xander's skin with this product! I am very picky about what I will put on my babies' skin, but since this product is comprised of only the best natural ingredients and is free of harsh chemicals and dyes, I can feel good about using this product on them. I use it on both babies, but it has been helpful for the Xan-Man in particular. He has rather sensitive skin, and standard baby lotions don't always agree with him. Sometimes, he will develop a friction rash under his arms, under his chin in the crease of his neck, and even where his diapers touch his thighs. This is common for a lot of babies, but he seems to be especially prone to these issues. For the past week of so, I have been using this lotion on him after his daily bath in place of his usual lotion. I have noticed a big improvement in his problem areas! He has not developed any more prickly rashes and the friction induced redness has dissipated substantially! This makes for a much happier baby! All in all, I think this product is nothing short of miraculous! It does what it claims to do, and it works FAST! I have always bought more expensive, fancier moisturizers under the false notion that these would be better products. Not the case at all. Most of the products I am used to contain fragrances and dyes that can be damaging to the skin rather than beneficial to it. From now on, I will turn to Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion for the skin care needs of my family. I am thrilled to announce that someone will win a full-sized bottle of this amazing product during the In Honor Of The Tatas event this October. I guarantee you won't know how you managed without this fantastic product! Especially if you suffer from stubborn skin conditions that are drying, itchy, and irritated. In the meantime, here's how you can connect and learn more about the wonderful products offered by Skin MD Natural!
