I'm So in SOAPYLOVE!!!


I'm super excited to tell you about this company I reviewed , I think the products they carry are one of the BEST GIFT IDEAS to give out and GREAT for Kids and Tweens! By far the best packaging and detail oriented company I have worked with.
I secretly thought to myself, Now if these were around when we were younger and got asked do you want your mouth washed out with soap my answer might just be "yes please" once you see how real these soaps look and smell like the real thing.

 The company is called Soapy Love and it's all handmade in San Diego, California. 

Here are some of the items:


Well known for our adorable glycerin Soapy Pops (sometimes called soapsicles or soap popsicles)
$7.99

New Lolly Soaps
$9.50

 Lip Balms
$2.00



Perfumes
$15.00 or $5.00 Each

Gift Box Option
$3.00


~AMAZING~

 I received the New Heat Waves Soapy Pop.


 It's 3oz of yummy smelling Papaya scent and skin-loving glycerin soap just won me over right when I opened it and not to mention the amazing neon colors it's an adorable addition to any ones bathroom sink or shower!!!
My kid's were just in love with it and asked if we could get more (of course we will!)
*I say this is a Kid and Parent Approved product for sure*


Not only was I very impressed with the soap but I was also sent a couple other items in a gift box beautifully packaged I really didn't want to open it it was so adorable!




I tried the Pink Bubble Gum Lip Balm and just LOVED it!!!
It went on smooth left my lips moisturized, soft and the cute packaging was a bonus. Now it's not a pink color that's just the name and I love that it doesn't have color so my kids can use it and that I can use my own lipgloss over the lip balm and it not effect the color I am wearing.
 I let my friend try it and she said it reminded her of the brand soft lips, and you know what yes she is right I would compare it to that but way better!
I cant wait to try all the other flavors.
~Juicy Watermelon
~Orange You Sweet
~Pineapple Snow Cone
~Lemon-Lime Soda
~Very Vinilla
~grape-alicious
~Pink Bubble Gum <--YUM

*I say this is a Kid and Parent Approved product for sure*

Last but not least I tried the Rock n' Roll-on Perfume in Island Girl.


I love that it smells amazing like I really am on a tropical vacation and it fits right in the palm of my hand so I can stick it in my pocket, toss it in my purse or keep at my bed side. The roller ball works great and rolls on smooth I get product without having to work for it. <3
The smell lasted a couple hours and friends complemented me at our work meeting on how good I smelled then I let them all try it and they wanted some of their own and some for their kids. We all thought the confetti added that extra touch of love and awesomeness we think all products should come with so big kudos to Soapy Love for paying attention to detail.

*I say this is a Kid and Parent Approved product for sure*


Everyone I showed thought the gift box was so unique and fun it really is a great gift for young kids the soap is easy to use and is a perfect alternative for those little ones that have bar soaps constantly slipping out of their hands.

I would recommend this as a great Easter Basket Gift,  a shower gift and most of all a BIRTHDAY GIFT. Really it's a any day gift because it's just too awesome not to pass along!!!

Just goes to show Pit Bulls are very sweet and loving dogs.

Pit bulls are famous, in circles of knowledgeable dog people, for the love and loyalty they bestow on anyone who shows them a smidgen of kindness.

That's Amore!

Looking for something fun and cute to do with the kids today how about mini heart pizzas. Kid's love when they are included in making something and they are more willing to eat it if they made it, its kinda like that saying "kids don't play with your food" but why not when its something as cute as mini pizzas!
 
• Frozen whole-wheat pizza dough, thawed, (available at specialty stores like G.B. Russo International Grocery), 2 cans refrigerated commercial pizza dough or refrigerated biscuits tube
• Tomato sauce
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Sliced black olives for eyes
• Rosemary sprigs for eyelashes
• Sliced red bell pepper for mouth
PREPARATION: Preheat oven to temperature called for on the package of frozen pizza dough, refrigerated commercial pizza dough or package of refrigerator biscuits.
Separate the pizza dough into six parts and roll into circles. With a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a heart shape, if possible. Or open the refrigerator biscuits and separate. Taking one biscuit at a time, flatten them as much as possible, and place on an un-greased cookie sheet.
With the rolled-out dough, take a heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut out a heart shape.
Spread tomato sauce onto the dough, sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese. Construct the face with olive slices for eyes, position rosemary spikes as eyelashes and curve the red pepper into a happy smile.
Once your pizzas are built, put them in the oven and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

You can also buy pre-made dough like Boboli and put pepperonis on it in the shape of a heart or cut the pepperonis in heart shapes and put them on your pizza like this.



Hope you all enjoy making these lovely pizzas and have some fun with your family I promise your kids will have a blast and always remember doing this with you!


Design Your Own Clothes


Family Circle has a cute and fun website for young girls to design their own clothes! Mea my soon to be five year old loves it and not going to lie I am excited to help make some fun and cute clothes for my girlie's! Now they start at size 6 but lucky me my oldest is tall and fits into the bigger sizes and I like to give her clothes that are a bit bigger so she has room to grow.

They even have design your littlest pet shop outfits now available. Not only can you design clothes but accessories as well. The prices are great and the options are really good.


 I think this would be a great gift for a young girl as well. Not only is it unique but its like 2 gifts in one. They get to spend time creating something and making it personal then they get to show it off when it is arrives in the mail! Makes it so much easier than getting an outfit that you are not sure if they will like or not.

You can also make a style book of all your creations to look at or you can buy them. There is so much more I can write about the site but I'll let you go check it out for yourself.

Have fun my fashionistas!!!

Schick Hydro Silk Review

My All Time Favorite Razor!!!
I was sent the Schick Hydro Silk Razor and have been using it for the past 2 weeks and I am 100% hooked and going to buy refills to last me forever! That's how much I love this product!
Now I am not one to shave everyday and I really hate shaving I do not like razors and have not found one that I can say only good things about.
Actually I have been using my husbands mach 3 for the past year or more.  I've tried the Venus and sorry but I hate it, I think it's to bulky and it didn't do a great job for me. I have used most of the other razors for women and never had one that didn't nick me at least once or just plain suck that's why I used the men's they contoured to me better i thought and got a closer shave. Until now I am in awe of this thing it is great I don't have a lot of time to lather up and shave all the time and I like to be in and out of the shower not wasting my time or water so when I first got to try this I was skeptical that it came with Moisturizing Serum in it already.

Let me tell you ladies it is
amazing it gets a super close shave, no nicks and makes your skin
feel so incredibly soft! I didn't use anything to lather my skin I just
jumped in the shower and started shaving it left me with a close soft
shave no irritation or bumps and I shaved all the areas needed in no
time. The Hydro Silk is well worth any price and a great new
product that I hope stays around forever. I will be buying one to
throw in my suitcase this is going to be perfect for traveling

and I'll keep one in my shower at all times for a quick and

easy shave that will keep my skin soft and hair free for more than
just a day.


Overview of the New Schick Hydro Silk Razor Features:

Moisturizing Serum – Hydrating water-activated Moisturizing Serum hydrates to replenish skin’s natural moisture throughout each shave and is infused with nourishing marine extracts and hydrating shea butter.

Curve Sensing Blades – 5 Curve Sensing Blades deliver an incredibly close shave for silky smooth skin.

Skin Guards – Skin Guards are added to each blade, doubling the points of contact between the blades and the skin. The Blades and Skin Guards work together to smooth your skin as you shave and to reduce irritation.

Compact Oval Cartridge – The unique oval cartridge is designed exclusively for the contours and curves of a woman’s body, including those hard to reach places.

Soft Touch Handle – Aqueous Soft Touch Handle is ergonomic by design with a soft rubber grip and is inspired by water for a beautiful look. The patent-pending duck bill feature enables the razor to be placed on a flat surface while holding the cartridge head away from that surface.

NEW, NEW, NEW FOR HAIR!











When not to fake it.

I'm talking about centerpieces here not what you were thinking! Ha.

OK so I did an event in Scottsdale this past week that I had to set up the table to look nice as well as promote the product. It was for flavored vodka and a tequila that I was promoting. The vodka flavors were Citrus, Mandarin and Blueberry, YUM!

Now in this case you do not want to use a fake centerpiece or make it look cheap and just thrown together.
You also don't want it to look cluttered since you are trying to sell the product not the table pieces.

This event I did a big vase full of fresh real fruit to compliment the flavors of the vodka. You could use the pieces to garnish the drinks if you really wanted to.

Then I made sure to place the product around the centerpiece so it would really catch peoples eyes instead of just looking at a bunch of bottles like they were doing all night, there were alot of vendors and tons of different bottles to look at from all the liquor and wine departments.

Here are some pictures so you get the idea. This isnt the full set up just the start of it...


This is from the back you can see all the other vendors in front of me had tons of bottles just sitting on thier table.

It was really beautful at night wish I had a chance to take more pictures!

The key to this kind of event is to use fresh items if you are using flowers dont get fake ones, if you are using fruit dont use fake fruit, if you are using a centerpieces use something you can incorperate into your product and just one big statement instead of a bunch of little items to make it look pretty.
