Diva Cup Review and Giveaway!

This post is just for LADIES! Just forewarning the men before I began talking on the topic at hand:)

I was given the opportunity to review the DivaCup and I was excited to be able to as well! I have heard nothing but amazing praises for this product and couldn't wait. It came in the mail and then I panicked! My first thought was what if it doesn't work? What if I can't figure it out? And all the more questions kept coming...

When it was finally "time" to use it, I gently took it from the box and read all the instructions twice (lol, I really didn't want to mess it up). The DivaCup was very easy to bend and the instructions they give were very good, all my worries began to slowly go away. I became a little more confident. It did take me a couple of months to really get the hang of it and then I fell in love with this product and then I got pregnant:) I will be using this again after the baby arrives.

I received a #2 DivaCup (for women that have had children, a #1 is for women that have not, check out their website for more details about sizing). Like I just said it was very easy to read the instructions and I was able to insert it with ease, once I got the hang of it. I was very impressed how much "fluid" it held and how well it worked for me. I like the fact that it is clean and doesn't have chemicals in it that can hurt me. I like the fact that I can wear it for 12 hours! Yes, your heard that right. How many times have you been stuck and unable to go to the bathroom to "change" something? Or you can even sleep in it and wake up to no mess!:) Overall, I really liked this product and hope that you will too!

Just a few facts from their website...
The DivaCup is a non-absorbent menstrual cup that simply collects menstrual flow. It is inserted in the vagina and sits at the lower base of the vaginal canal. It is worn internally, yet because it is soft and smooth, it cannot be felt nor will it leak when inserted properly.
The DivaCup is the most clean and convenient method of feminine hygiene protection. No need to touch the flow. It is worn low in the vagina, not near the cervix, so it is easy to remove. No mess!

The DivaCup ends hassles with unreliable disposables in endless absorbencies, shapes and styles. It is perfect for all activities – giving women true freedom without the worry, guessing and unreliability that disposable feminine hygiene products pose.

The DivaCup can be worn for up to 12 hours before emptying, washing and reinserting for use for    another 12 hours. It can be used for light or moderate flows and is emptied more often to accommodate heavy flows. Perfect for overnight use.

The DivaCup’s expert, proprietary, patent-pending features make it comfortable and assures ease of use and reliability. Perfect for traveling, running, biking, hiking, dancing, camping, swimming, diving, scuba, yoga, extreme sports and more...

It is:
*   Latex-free, BPA-free, plastic-free
*   No dyes, colors or additives
*   Comfortable, reliable
*   Clean, convenient, easy-to-use
*   Worn for up to 12 hours at a time

Rockin' Green Review & Giveaway!

At the very start of choosing cloth diapers I was told that I had to take really good care of my diapers and that also meant finding an awesome detergent. I searched and searched and then my "diaper lady contact" posted about Rockin' Green!

I was a little skeptic about buying detergent just for my diapers. Not that I didn't want the product I just didn't know how much I needed it. Being on this journey of cloth diapers I was finding a lot of good things about becoming a little more green for our family. I sold hubby on the idea and bought my first bag! Trust me, I found out how much I needed it:)

Borrowed this pic from their site...

I performed what is called a "soak" (a.k.a. Rockin' the Soak). I let them sit overnight and boy that water was dirty! I was thrilled that it was working:) I went ahead and washed them as directed and rinsed, rinsed, and rinsed! My diapers came out like new. I had a couple of diapers that had stains originally and now they were GONE! I was impressed! My diapers smelled like "nothing". The scent that was meant for me had washed out and you really don't want your diapers to smell used. Again, impressive! They had my heart that very first day. I have been a loyal customer ever since and that was about a year ago:) Since that first wash they have improved their formula and I love it even more!

I have also tried a couple of different scents but "Lavender Mint" is my favorite! I love that they put the amazing aroma in the bag just for you. Believe me after the wiff of dirty diapers you'll appreciate the awesome smell of Rockin' Green. They have several scents for you to choose from and even unscented:)

I have used Rockin' Green for other things as well! Here is my list:
1. I have used in the dishwasher when I ran out of detergent.
2. My hubby used it to clean the shower head in our bathroom, he dismanteled it to clean it:)
3. I have used it to clean up after the dog's accidents, yes I have had a couple of those:( But you would never be able to tell thanks to Rocking Green.
4. I have used it on my husband's work clothes. He gets very greasy and dirty where he works and this was awesome on his clothes.
5. I have used it as a stain remover on baby clothes.
6. I have used it to get fingernail polish out of the carpet! (It was Piggy Paint and baby girl spilled it:( I rushed to get some water and some Rocking Green and it came up NO STAIN!)

These are examples off the top of head and I am sure they have been more:) I have also signed up for Rockin' Green's 52 Weeks. They send weekly emails on how to use Rocking Green in other ways!

They have 3 different types of formula's: Soft Rock, Classic Rock, and Hard Rock:) This way no matter what type of water you have Rockin' Green should work for you!

They have several other items such as:
Funk Rock! For all your stinkes:)
Dog House Rock...for your dog:)
Femme Rock! This is a new product just for your Mama Cloth:)

They have a neat litle scooper for your detergent (I use a TBSP from the kitchen but this would be neat to have:)) They have pail fresheners and even some spray! They even have bundles for you which make awesome gifts or even for yourself!

So are you ready to Rock your Laundry? They were so excited to be a part of this event that they wanted to share the love and you are going to be able to win a bag of your very own!!! Just enter via the Rafflecopter below...

CJ's BUTTer Review and Giveaway!

If you have cloth diapers then you need a "safe" butt cream for rashes. This was a whole new area for me. I always loved "brand x" and would run too it. After reading and reasearching I found out that "brand x" could ruin my diapers. So what do I do now? Well, I have used coconut oil (read here) and it worked but what else was out there???

Kissed by the Moon sent me some CJ's BUTTer to review!

Borrowed this pic from their site...

I received a CJ's BUTTer Stick (.75 oz.) in Sea Spice scent. So far I've used it a few times and it does work really well. Baby girl doesn't get too many rashes but sometimes she does. When she does it's not good, and I feel really bad for her. She is so funny and she asks (points to it) and says "This?"...lol. I am very excited that we have found something that works for us.

Did you know that CJ's BUTTer has other uses?

CJ’s BUTTer™ has been used on adults and children to help relieve:
eczema
rashes
dry/chapped skin
rug burns (sore ‘crawler’ knees)
mechanics’ hands and cuticles
hangnails
rub a small amount on your hands and use as a leave-in conditioner for your curls


Please visit thier site to learn more ways CJ's BUTTer can be used.

I am really excited to know that it is an all nautral product. I have been trying this product for about a month+ and I haven't had any repelling in the diapers. I also haven't noticed any stains. With "brand x" I had to use liners to protect my diapers but with CJ'a BUTTer I didn't have to:) It is not greasy or sticky and with it in stick form it is amazingly easy to use! It does come in unscented or in an array of scents.

I was really impressed that it could be used in several ways. I think we might have to get a couple more of these and use them for tangles and one for the diaper bag. I am starting to love this new product and I am excited that you are going to get a chance to win your very own! Just fill out the rafflecopter form below!

Blissful Booty Review and Giveaway!

I won an original Blissful Booty about a year ago and fell in love, you can read that review HERE. I was impressed with the softness and ease of that first diaper that I bought some more. I was recently blessed to be able to review a new OS Blissful Booty Perfect Pocket Diaper and they stole my heart again!

I received the "Diva" Blissful Booty Pocket Diaper. I am loving the hot pink minkee outside liner. It's even prettier in person, I promise! It is so super soft! I also recieved a microfiber insert and a bamboo insert.
The inside is super soft as well. It hasn't pilled either. I love that it cleans up easily.

Oh how I LOVE me some gussets on a diaper! I truly do! For me it just gives an extra sense of security:) (Sorry if the picture is a little dark.)
They have inner and outer leg gussets to help contain messes! So that means double protection for my own sake of mind:)

I also love the fit on this diaper! This is the diaper double stuffed becasue we are getting ready for bed:)Another neat feature is the gentle front and back waist elastic for added protection against leaks. We woke up to no leaks! I double stuffed it with two microfiber inserts. It didn't seem to be too bulky and totally worked my heavy wetter. I have to be honest. I haven't used the bamboo insert. I am still "priming it" so I can use it:) I didn't know that there was some before effort but I have heard that they benefits are worth it!

Booty Shot! Hehehe! I love little booty's in fluff, especially when they are this soft:)

I copied this picture from Blissful Booty's website:) I think her picture does an excellent job of showing you the buttons and any features that you may want to know.

They have the wrap around snap to roll up the dirty diapers and snap closed until time for washing. The inserts agitate out in the wash so you don’t have to pull out dirty inserts! Less work for me and I love that I don't have to mess with it if it was "dirty". The pocket opening is large and easy to stuff.

The snap up rise design gives you 3 rise size options plus all the snaps at the waist this diaper could easily fit most babies from 7 -35+ pounds.

Their outer waterproof layer of TPU comes in many color and print choices (including several in soft and cuddly Minkee) and keeps wetness in, while the inner layer of stay dry suedecloth wicks moisture away from delicate baby skin.

The snap waist closure features double row color coordinated snaps for security as well as a crossover option for tiny newborn waists.I found the snaps works best for us, she has conquered velcro. The double row also seemed to give us a snug fit.

I also received a bumper sticker that says, "If your diaper isn't Cloth, its garbage!"..........lol!!!! I loved it so much it immediately went on my car! :)

Well, I have to spread the love! So who is ready to win their very own Blissful Booty Perfect Pocket Diaper in your choice of color/print? Just enter below!!!

Ju Ju Be Review and Giveaway!

I was given a couple of diaper bags for my baby shower but I always seem to lose things in them. Do you know what I mean? I have emptied out the entire bag several times to look for a pacifier or my keys or a tube of lip gloss. Because I cloth diaper it is even harder for me to find a bag that I adore.

Then Ju Ju Be entered my life and made it all easier! I have fallen in LOVE with thier bags, literally! I was sent a bag to review and it was called the BFF. It is purple and so very pretty!!!

I love the pattern!

This is called the "Mommy Pocket". I put my keys, wallet, phone, makeup, gum, pen...anything that I think I will need...in this pocket. I love all the pockets and space in this one little section. The black bag pocket is actually for your sunglasses and it cleans them while it's in the pocket! (Haven't tried this feautres because I wear glasses and don't get to wear sunglasses too often.)

This little pocket right above the Mommy Pocket is lined with soft interior some times my phone goes in here or I put here pacifier in here so I can find it easily!

There are two of these pockets on the outside. I am always running out the door just a few hours and I used to pack her a little cooler for her bottles...no more! These pockets on the side are insulated with "Thinsulate by 3M". They keep her bottles cold for about 2-3 hours!!! (They keep things cold or warm...whatever your need is!) I love that I now have extra room on the inside of her bag for things that I need for cool weather like a blanket or jacket:)

Did I mention that I LOVE pockets!!! This bag has got the pockets! I can put all kinds of things in here! I can pack her diapers, wipes, wetbag, change of clothes, socks, any meds if needed, babylegs, blanket, hat and jacket and still have room. I really like that the inside is a light color because it's easier for me to find what I need when I need it! I have not lost anything in this bag:)

This is the changing pad and it is made of memory foam so it is super sofy and cushy! I love the different colors so I know how to keep up with which side to use and clean up:)

Oh and it also has it's own pocket on the back!

It also turns into a back pack!!! It comes with two extra padded handles for this feature. I love this feature because if I need my arms free then I know that I can still have my bag...perfect for the moms that like to get out to the park and you can keep it with you and still play with your baby!

All of the hardware on this bag is METAL. Not the hope it doesn't give out on me plastic...all metal! All the zippers are smooth and quiet. I love that they even made it a little girlie and placed a gem on the zipper tags:)

A couple of things that I would like to mention as well...
* It has TEFLON Fabric Protecttor - stains don't stick!
* AgION Antimicrobial Linings - kills germs, mold, mildew, fungus, bacteria, and other bad stuff!
* It has a crumb drain pocket - bye, bye, mess! (If you have a little one you have crumbs...lol)
* Did I mention that this bag is machine washable? Well it is and it keeps its shape! Just air dry:)

This is my bag COMPLETLY STUFFED with all that I need!I packed the "goldfish", blanket, wetbag, 4 diapes, a change of pants, socks, wipes, my stuffe is in the front pocket (sorry forgot to open it up), a bottle...and I still have room!!!


I will say that it took a minute for me to get used to having everything so organinized that I thought I was forgeting something...you know how you run through that mental check list as you are walking out the door? I know that this is an amazing bag and I can't wait for you to win your very own! I hope that you love your BFF bag as much as I do mine!

So are you ready to win you very own bag? They have some AMAZING colors and prints! I think I might have to get one more...hehehe! Right now this is like my purse...can't have too many purses right? LOL! Enter via rafflecopter below!
