I, like most Moms, am always looking for healthier options for my daughter. I always thought there wouldn’t be a replacement for “regular” nail polish. Well, I’m happy to share Piggy Paint with you! This is a Non-toxic, almost odorless, hypoallergenic, and eco & kid friendly.

Piggy Paint is water-based, dries quickly and is safe to use during pregnancy! Piggy Paint suggests using a blow drier on your nails for about a minute for maximum chip resistance.

Let’s talk colors! Piggy Paint has over 30 colors! They also have their own specially formulated nail polish remover and nail stickers! They have great sets for holiday or any occasion! Piggy Paint even has nail polish for your favorite pup!

My daughter and I had a great time with Piggy Paint. She was happy to be a big girl and I was happy it was safe for her!

Piggy Paint is great for Birthday gifts and don’t forget the Holidays are coming!!

Dots on Tots

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Dots on Tots is a company striving to provide high quality organic cotton hats for babies and toddlers. Skin sensitivities are becoming more and more common among babies. By using organic materials, babies’ skin can be protected and parents can have peace of mind. Dots on Tots features innovative hat designs for girls and boys all made from natural, certified-organic cotton. They specialize in ear flap hats to protect babies from outdoor elements such as cold and wind, as well as providing protection from ear, nose, and throat infections.

My daughter had the pleasure of wearing Dots on Tots’ organic cotton Ear Protection flaphat. The natural, eco-friendly material was ultra soft and very lightweight. It’s perfect for Fall right now. It keeps her head nice and warm without overheating. The ear flaps fit securely over her ears, but were not too tight to where she was trying to pull them off. It has a nice velcro closure under the chin that stayed secure. She felt very comfortable in it.

We always go for walks in the stroller and my daughter tries to fall asleep, but sometimes she wakes up from the cars passing by or the dogs barking in the neighborhood. I noticed these noises did not bother her while she was wearing the hat, and she actually napped longer!

Dots on Tots also sells Noise Reduction Hats, which include special inserts for the ear flaps to reduce outside noises. These would be great for sporting events or any high crowd level attractions. Dots on Tots hats come in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors. Their materials are very soft and of high quality. What a great product and company!

Homecoming Dresses

Homecoming Dresses

School is back in session in many areas, which means fall is just around the corner. With fall comes football practice, football games and homecoming. If you children old enough, you may have a daughter who is planning attending the homecoming dance and will need to purchase a homecoming dress. DressFirst has some very cute styles that are sure to tickle her fashion sense.

Princess Sweatheart

One of my daughters thought this dress was nice:

Sleeveless

A-line with Sleeves Short Length

A-line Long Length

Prices vary but on average are in the $100-$150 range. There’s quite a few “baby doll” styles that young ladies can choose from, whether they like lots of frills or keeping it simple, these homecoming dresses are sure to please most girls. We, moms, on the other hand might cringe a little that our little girls are becoming grown up enough to wear plunging necklines and strapless dresses for a night out with their favorite guy. Sigh.

Back to School with Enzo Francine Shoes

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Back to School with Enzo Francine Shoes

Add some superstar style to any outfit with the snazzy, jazzy, look of these Enzo Kids, oxford. The Enzo Francine shoe is available from size 8-5 and is a great combination of athletics and fashion all in one. Here are some of the shoe details:

Metallic or white fabric upper in classic silhouette

Lace-up closure for quick and easy on and off.

Padded tongue and collar provide additional comfort.

Breathable textile lining and cushioned textile insole

Flexible rubber outsole.

The Enzo Francine Shoe is available in white and metallic lavender at www.zappos.com for $45.99

Our review:

We received the metallic lavender Enzo Francine shoe. We were very pleased with the overall look of the shoe. This is a very classic shoe with a modern fabric. My daughter will be stylin’! My daughter wears a size 12 and we received a size 13 and they fit nice…she has a bit of room to grow (about a thumb length from the big toe). When she put them on her feet, she mentioned how nice they felt. My daughter also mentioned that she liked the slip on ease of the shoe, saying that they were easy to take on and off. I liked the fact that the shoe has “give in the heel” it is not stiff like regular slip on shoes and can be easily manipulated on and off.

Please note that although there is a lace closure it is not a tie closure … which is GREAT for my kindergartener who is just learning to tie her shoes… this gives us a no fuss way to wear shoes right now and learn to tie at our convenience instead of every time we have to put on shoes!

As for the aesthetics, the outer part of the shoe is a very nice metallic fabric, and great quality. The inside is a cushiony soft material that will wear nicely. Finally, the traction sole is great and will help keep little ones steady.

Overall, we were very pleased with the shoe functionality and fit. I think you will be pleased with this shoe this season!

Please visit Zappos.com at this LINK to view the Enzo Francine shoe in further detail!

Imagine having great nails that look expensive BUT, without the appointment and expense! OMG Nail Strips bring that to you at a low cost and it’s do it yourself at home! Hook me up, right?

These super easy nail adhesives are so much fun with little effort. Pick your favorite design from OMG Nail Strips; rather pick 4 of your favorite designs. There’s a sale going on right now 4 designs for $20.00! Tell me where you can go to get your nails done 4 times for $20.00? Not where I live.

OMG Nail Strips Review

They come in a strip with 12 sized strips. You need to make sure your nails are clean, apply a small amount of hand lotion. Wipe the excess and start applying the nail wraps. File the edges and you are ready to go! Yes, it’s that easy.

I wore them out to a picnic and one of my friends asked… “Do they really last?’” My answer was yes. After I applied OMG Nail Strips, I peeled and canned tomatoes. The strips lasted through the scald, cold bath and peeling tomatoes.

The strips last up to 10 days and come off very easy and there’s no drying time. For a mom & wife on the go these are great and very fun!

End of Summer Footwear Shopping

Posted by html404 on August 13, 2013
in Fashion, Products for Mom, Seasonal Stuff, Shoes & Footwear, Shopping

This is a featured post.

Sadly summer is coming to an end soon. I love summer and it’s bittersweet to say good-bye to my favorite season. However, shopping end of summer sales is always fun! That’s about the only good thing about the end of summer, if you ask me.

I love wearing sandles or crocs in the summer time. My feet like to breathe and not be cooped up in tight, enclosed shoes like running shoes or even rubber boots. Hot. Hot. Hot.

When end of summer footwear shopping I look for the best deals for my children. For myself, I have to go by comfort first, with the extra weight I am carrying I need good supportive shoes that will not only support my feet but also my legs and knees. More often than not that means sticking with the same brand that has been working.

It’s easier to shop for children’s footwear, unless it is my older girls. They have varying tastes and one or the other likes something that is bright, colorful and fashionable. Then there is the issue of heel or no heel. I prefer flats, while I have daughters that want to wear heels – my feet hurt just thinking about it. I also like basic looking sandles that will go with everything . I am practical.

I will shop in-store or online for end of summer footwear. I will look at thrift stores but will only buy them if they seem almost new as every person’s feet are shaped differently and who knows how much the inside is worn if the shoes have been well cared for. As you can see from the photo above, my Velcro is no longer sticking well, the straps are getting stretched out and while they are functional, they are no longer very “pretty”.

Where do go for end of summer footwear shopping?

Back to School with Old Navy #myONstyle @OldNavy

Posted by html404 on August 8, 2013

Back to school season is here already, can you believe it? I still have shop to for school supplies but I did take one of our children, our third oldest daughter shopping at Old Navy as a treat and she needed more immediate things than the rest. Old Navy has their back to school promotion going on right now in all U.S. stores – $10 and under – from 8/3 thru 8/14. Old Navy is also inviting parents to come into stores to take a picture of their kids rocking their favorite Old Navy back to school looks in front of the store’s Step and Repeat!

Back to School with Old Navy

Old Navy Gift Card – Accepted via my iPhone since our printer is not working!

I have to admit we headed for the clearance section first. Not only did the bright colors attract my daughter but we wanted to make the most of our limited budget. It would have been easy to spend it all on one or two items, but instead we came out with eight things! Not too shabby, eh?

My daughter is still growing, as a matter of fact she’s taller than me by a couple inches, not saying much since I am only 5’3. I say that because we now have to shop in the ladies or women’s section just so we can get the height part to fit her. We did sneak a peek at the girls section to get a feel for what was available for my youngest daughter. The girls section was tucked all the way back in the left hand corner of the store, but very easy to find.

She loved these shorts, but wished they were longer or pants!

O with her clothes selection – 2 dresses, 5 pairs of socks, including horse socks and a pair of black leggings.

Don’t forget Old Navy’s Back to School promotion – $10 and under – and consider getting your kids to show of their back to school fashion style in front of the store’s Step and Repeat! After you upload your photo, enter to the Multiply Your Sweet Style here: www.nick.com/OldNavy! It includes an Old Navy $1000 shopping spree, $500 cash to play in L.A and a shopping experience with Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande from Nickelodeon’s Sam and Cat!

Sandgrens Sandal Review

Posted by Brande on April 18, 2013
in Fashion, Gift Ideas, Products for Mom, Reviews, Shoes & Footwear, Shopping, Uncategorized

The warmer weather is coming, although it’s taking a little longer here in the Northeast than I’d like. My toes need to see the sun and start wearing sandals. The first pair of sandals I put on this year was from Sandgrens. Sandgrens is located in Sweden and has been making shoes since 1846.

I was delighted slipping on Sandgrens Panama style sandals from their 2013 Spring & Summer Collection.

Sandgrens Sandal Review

When you first look at them, you would think the wood would make the shoes heavy. Not even close. They are super light and the molded rubber soles gives them a great grip so, you won’t be slipping around. The heal is a little over 2 1/2 inches high. The vibrant pink is perfect for any occasion, they can be easily dressed up or dressed down. These are they type of sandals you pick out first, then coordinate your outfit around them.

I’m amazed how comfortable these sandals are, I’m going to be wearing these all summer.

Being a Swedish shoe they are also in Swedish sizes, you’ll need to use Sandgrens size and fitting guide to find your size. For example, I order size 37 which is a US size 6 1/2 to 7.

I’d start dropping hints for Mother’s Day, if I were you! Great and comfortable shoes are not always easy to find. Sandgrens gives you both of these fantastic qualities.
