Petjamas and Snugglebags Review

Most of us with kids are familiar with the plush pillow toys that are so popular with kids now.  My daughter has one that looks like a bee and she loves it.  I recently found out about some new items for these pillow toys and they are so cute.  They are a great idea too because they protect your child's favorite pillow toy when they want to take it out of the house.  My daughter has to bring her favorite toys with her everywhere and then they end up dragging on the ground and filthy.





What are Petjamas?  Well it's a soft cover for your child's plush pillow toy.  It fits them like - well pajamas.  They come in a variety of colors, so you can match them to your child's pillow pet.  My daughter's pillow toy is yellow, so her Petjamas are also yellow.  I like that it protects the pillow toy from getting dirty, but they're also cute.  My daughter is 4 and she loved dressing her pillow toy in the Petjamas.  It has a little handle that's great for little hands, so they can carry it around.  You can also see that the Petjamas have pockets on them too!  The Petjamas are soft and cuddly and make pillow toys even more cuddly.

What are Snugglebags?  This is just as much fun as the Petjamas for your child's plush pillow toy.  Snugglebags are a sleeping bag for your child's pillow toy!  These are a lot of fun because you can use these on your child's plush pillow toys, but my 4 and 6 year old have fun putting a few small stuffed animals in it.  I personally love that this comes with a little cover and it looks just like a real mini sleeping bag.  It's adorable.  These are also reversible and they can be rolled back up and put back in their little cover.  My daughter really enjoyed putting her stuffed toys in it!  Just look at some of the pictures below and you can see how cute they are.




Both the Petjamas and the Snugglebags are washable.  That is definitely a plus!  If your kids are anything like mine then you need things to be washable!  Want to buy your own?  You can check out the variety of different color options available from Petjamas and Snugglebags on the Snuggletime website.  The Petjamas retail for $9.99 and the Snugglbags can be purchased for $12.99.

Ok so which is your favorite and what color?

CALNATURALE Wine Review



About CALNATURALE - It comes in both a Cabernet Sauvignon variety and Chardonnay variety.  CALNATURALE is available in a few different sizes.  You can buy it in a 500 ML and a 1 liter.  It is a reasonably priced wine at $6.99/500ML or $12.99/1 liter.  I received the 500 ML to try out.  I find that this is a good size and not as wasteful (for me anyway) as a whole bottle.  CALNATURALE does not come in a bottle, but comes in a Tetra Pak.  It is also made with 100% organically grown grapes.

This would make an excellent gift for the holiday season or even a great item to bring over to a holiday party when you don't know what to bring!

CALNATURALE is a unique wine that is excellent.  My husband and I enjoyed testing out the Cabernet Sauvignon variety and the Chardonnay variety this evening.  Both the Cabernet and Chardonnay are wines that I would recommend.  The Cabernet Sauvingnon has a nice flavor and has a touch of fruitiness to it that I love.  The Chardonnay was also great and has a really crisp flavor that both my husband and I enjoyed.  I will definitely be purchasing CALNATUALE wines more often.  I love that they are organic, come in two different sizes, but also taste excellent.  I love that I can open a 500 ML container of the CALNATURALE for my husband and I and not have to worry about wasting the rest of the bottle.  This is really a nice size if a few people want to have a small glass of wine.

Want to buy it?  You can find CALNATURALE wine at Publix, Whole Foods and H.E.B.

Disclosure - I received two 500 ML containers of CALNATURALE wine in order to facilitate my review.  ALl opinions are completely my own as always and no monetary compensation was provided.

Name Bubbles Review



Name Bubbles are great labels for kids items.  I have a 4 and a 6 year old and we always seem to be losing everything.  I get tired of trying to write on everything with a permanent marker with their names and then it just looks ugly.  We recently received some name bubbles and it has really made my life easier.  We have had fun putting them on coats, shoes, backpacks, folders, lunchboxes and anything else that they bring to school that might get lost.  The best part is that they are not only helping us keep track of our items, but they're cute too.  I received the school pack from the iconic series.  We also had them personalized with our last name and we had a cute little guitar put on them.  They're really fun.  In the pack I received a number of different sizes.  I love them all and so do my kids.  I really like that the bitty bubbles are the perfect size to put one on clothing tags.  They can even be washed!  That is too neat.  I also received a sheet of bubble toes labels that look like a flip flop.  These are meant for labeling shoes, but my daughter thought they were so cute that she put one on her backpack.  I would recommend name bubbles to anyone that is tired of losing their kids items!   These are great labels that are personalized.  I also noticed that name bubbles makes allergy labels.  I have a lot of friends that have children with allergies and this is a great way to make sure that other people know about them too.



More about name bubbles - they are dishwasher safe, laundry safe, microwavable, and waterproof.  These are tough labels that will hold up!

Hot Pants Update and Results #hotinhotpants

A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try out HotPants and have been doing the 2 week challenge.  If you didn't get to read my initial review on the HotPants you can do so here.  I first must say that I really like the HotPants.  They are comfortable and really make your workout work for you.  It really makes your workout worthwhile.  I personally only got to wear my HotPants 3 times in the 2 week period that I did the challenge.  If I was able to wear them more during that time I would expect I would see more results.    I do see some results from wearing them and have noticed that it has helped slim my tummy area a bit. I like that I am seeing results and plan on using my HotPants when I workout!  I have posted a picture below of myself after the 2 week challenge.  I will say that I have lost probably about 1/2 a pants size so far, but that's only from wearing them again for a short amount of time.  I can't wait to see how they work over a longer period of time.


Disclosure - I received a pair of HotPants for free in return for my honest opinion.
