Dental Health Month with PetSafe and Giveaway

Our family just got our first puppy a few months ago! He is a 1 year old Shih Tzu Mix and we named him Oscar. He is the cutest and sweetest thing ever, we are so happy we decided to get him!

So when I was offered to try the Indigo Fresh from PetSafe for Dental Health Month, I figured as a mom, I try to help educate my kids on Dental Health, why wouldn’t I do the same for Oscar?!? That is, educate myself on dog dental health.

I have found that dogs, DO NOT, like getting their teeth and gums brushed, not one bit! So PetSafe has three NEW products that help out in this area. They all include a secret ingredient that is contained in adult toothpaste, hexameteraphosphate, or also known as HMP.

Indigo Fresh Floss Bones
Indigo Fresh Dental Bones
Indigo Fresh Dental Sauce for Dogs

While Oscar loves all of these products, his favorite seemed to be the last one:

Indigo Fresh Dental Sauce retails for $14.99 and comes in a 6.5 FL OZ bottle.

I have found that so many dog products have artificial colors and preservatives in them, and this one does not! I felt good giving this to him, knowing it was healthy and removes build up at the same time!

This is the Sweet Potato Sauce, and Oscar loves it! He seems to love wet food over dry, so this sauce adds the perfect consistency to his food!

Here’s the little guy eating away!

Since it’s Dental Health Month for Children, why not educate ourselves on Pet Dental Health as well?!? We do view them as our children, don’t we?!?

Mega Bloks First Builders Build ‘n Splash Giveaway

Blog· Giveaways· Review

MEGA BLOKS
FIRST BUILDERS BUILD ?N SPLASH

My girls absolutely love bath time. They also love all the toys they get to play with in the bath. They tend to get bored of some toys after a few months so I am always on the lookout for a new and fun toy to introduce at bath time. The Build ?n Splash from Mega Bloks is the perfect new addition to their bath time fun. What my girls love about it is that the sea animals are stackable so that it creates a watery adventure playtime set.

My girls have a blast creating a fun waterfall. They only have to pour water on the squid’s head and watch the cascading effect as the shark dips, the starfish spins, and the fish catches the water. The photo is blurry because they would not pause long enough for me to take a picture. They can’t get enough of watching the animals have the water flow down.

Features:

Stackable underwater friends designed for fun bath time building

Red octopus, yellow starfish, blue shark, red snapper and purple squid

Suction cup secures the build to the bottom of the tub

Handy draining bucket with suction cup for storing all of your Build ?n Splash friends

Compatible with all Mega Bloks First Builders sets for bigger builds, longer waterfalls and endless building possibilities

Ideal for kids ages 1 to 5.

My favorite part as the parent that likes everything neat and tidy is that when bath time is over you place all of the
Build ?n Splash friends inside the handy draining basket. It sticks
to any surface thanks to its own suction cup. I had no problem getting it to stick on my old school tiles.

The really nice thing about these bloks are that they are compatible with the other First Builders sets we already own so we can raise our seaworthy friends higher and perhaps build them a sea castle or two. I love that they use their creativity to build new designs. These sturdy blocks are sure to be a bath time favorite at my house for a long while to come!

Uptown Girl Lotty Dotty Style

Blog· Review

This fun and fashionable line of interactive t-shirts and handbags from Lotty Dotty is by far the cutest line of clothing I have come across in a long time. The company was founded in 2009 by Shevanne Helmer and Maya Persaud, two American women living in Paris, France. Their idea was inspired by playing dress up with paper dolls as young girls.

You can choose between five dolls and several mini outfits. Lotty Dotty’s mini outfits are made by young designers from around the world and made in Paris, France. My daughter selected Nikki in her uptown attire. She selected Nikki because she loved her name, her curly hair, and because she reminded her of her best friend. The Uptown attire came with two fancy dresses. When the package arrived she was so excited to see Nikki for the first time it was like getting a new doll. She tried on both outfits and found clothes to match her shirt.

These unique designs allow consumers to select an outfit that fits their personality. Each t-shirt features a screen-printed doll figure that can be dressed interchangeably with a velcro-backed mini outfit. Lotty Dotty also tailors to each customers age range and size, there are two types of dolls offered. They have a pre-adolescent (ages 4-10) as well as adult dolls (ages 12-50) that can be dressed and undressed directly on the t-shirt.

Additional productss include:

leather totes ($120)

denim totes ($45)

denim clutches ($45)

leather clutches ($95)

children’s backpacks ($45)

canvas totes ($45)

This unique shirt kept my daughter busy for hours dressing and undressing the doll. Then once her doll was dressed she had to dress herself to match. Lotty Dotty’s products would make such unique gifts for any little girl or woman. They would definitely be a conversation piece

Add These Great New Products from Brands You Love to Your Hair Care Routine

Blog

My hair has a mind of it’s own. I kid you not. It’s long, thick and curly. Hair care products are not a bonus that I use occasionally. Instead, they’re a necessity that I use every. single. day. So as you can imagine, I’m always on the lookout for not just quality products, but ones that are affordable too.

Now Suave? is generally my go-to brand for hair care, so I was excited to hear that they, along with Dove? and TRESemm?? have some great new products to help you get stunning hair.

Breathe life into lifeless, flat hair with the new Dove? Advanced Hair Series with Oxygen moisture.
Dove’s Pure Care Dry Oils are made from first-pressed organic oils which are absorbed in an instant to nourish and pamper hair and leave it looking smoother, shinier and softer from the first use.
Get salon-gorgeous hair every day with TRESemm?? Keratin Smooth. With the new 7 Day Smooth line extension, you?ll have ultimate frizz resistance that lasts through washes.
The new line of Suave? Natural Infusions is salon proven to moisturize, smooth and restore your hair’s natural shine

Now mind you, I live in a pretty small town. We have a grocery store, a big box store and Walgreens. I was literally over the moon when I found out that I could get all of these products at Walgreens for 25% off. You all know how much I like to save money!

You can also get 2,000 Balance Rewards points when you buy any two participating TRESemm??, Dove? or Suave? products!

I was able to sample these new products and I have to say, the TRESemm?? Keratin Smooth is now a staple in my routine. I first used it on a day that I straightened my hair, since it has a heat activated treatment. Notmally when I straighten my hair, it will still be a bit poofy, frizzy and dry, but that was not the case this time around. It was smooth and actually had a little shine to it. I was loving the look!

Lots of people are talking about these great new products. You can follow the conversation on Twitter and get the inside scoop by searching the #TryAndTell hashtag. There will also be live Twitte chats where you can win new product packages and Walgreens gift cards!
