Smelly Towel with Giveaway **Closed**

Smelly towel was created by the company Smelly Washer. Are you seeing the theme here? They are all about getting the smells out of your laundry! Of course they do it naturally. There are no chemicals in their products which is huge to me. Why would you want to get rid of the mildew smell if you have to use chemicals. Both are bad if you ask me.

Most people that I know have a problem with their washer smelling which then makes their clothes and towels smell too! I find that if I leave just washed clothes in the washer for to long they stink and then need to be rewashed. Towels are the worst. There are a few reasons that his happens.

Overuse of detergents, using fabric softener and/or using only low water temperatures for washing will cause odor in your washer. The odor-causing residue and mold spores are transferred to towels and clothing and are impossible to remove until the washer has been cleaned. Towels are more plush than clothing therefore absorb more mold spores. Also, towels are used near the face and when wet so odor is noticed more.

The difference between Smelly Washer and Smelly Towel is that Smelly Washer Cleaner is for an empty washer and Smelly Towel is for a washer with towels and clothing in it. In short, Smelly Towel Cleaner was made specifically for towels and clothing. Its gentle formula is designed to remove odor-causing mold from towels and clothing. It's citrus-based formula leaves your towels and clothing smelling like they are new!

I was so excited to try out Smelly Towel and used it right away. I couldn't wait to see if my towels smelled as great as they did when I first bought them. I am happy to say that they did! They don't have that smell to them anymore and I no longer want to go out and buy new towels. I really want to try out the Smelly Washer as well because that is the base of the problem, but until then my towels smell great.

Smelly Washer has been on the market since 2007 and they just came out with Smelly Towel although its not on the market yet! You can be one of the first to try it! I did and I love it, I know that you will to.

One lucky reader will get a bottle of Smelly Towel

Original Sprout with Giveaway **Closed**

Original Sprout has hair and body products for babies, children and adults. They are made by a master stylist and mother, so they are safe and natural, but perform as good or better than high-end salon brands.

Their products are Biodegradable, 100% Vegetarian (Vegan), Free of PhytoEstrogens, Soy, Parabens, Gluten, Dixoanes from Sulfates, Phthalates & Formaldehyde. If this doesn't work for your babies most sensitive of skin I don't know what would work!

Here's a list of there benefits:

• Free of phthalates, phytoestrogens, soy, gluten, parabens, and propylene glycol with no added dioxanes or formaldehydes.

• Free of skin penetrators & photosensitizers (plasticizers & nanoparticles).

• Extracts are certified organic. The majority of ingredients are plant derived & from natural sources.

• E.U. Directive Compliant with full label disclosure of ingredients.

• Fragrances are made with naturally derived ingredients & are certified FREE of phthalates, lavender, tea tree, PG, DPG, parabens, dioxanes, benzenes, formaldehydes, acetaldehydes, styrene, toluene, chlorobenzene & glycol ethers.

• Products are vegetarian/vegan & biodegradable.

Original Sprout offers sought-after natural & organic kits that other companies do not provide including an Eczema Kit, Swimmers Kit, Cradle Cap Kit, Frizz Free Kit, & Color Retention Kit. The founder, Inga, is a master stylist who relocated to the coastal valleys of San Luis Obispo, joined the biodiesel movement, built a homeschool at her house, and began a 7-year quest that resulted in the Original Sprout line after the birth of her daughter.

We were able to try out a few of the products from the Original Sprout line. Kristina got the Frizz free kit and Brandon got the Eczema kit!


The Frizz kit came with Children's hair gel, and the Baby & Child miracle detangler. Kristina loved using the hair gel but its not something I want her using all of the time because she tends to overuse it and then her hair gets crunchy. The detangler though is amazing. Kristina needs a really good detangler for her hair, its very thick and curly and frizzy! She uses this every morning after her shower and its making doing her hair so much easier!



The Eczema kit comes with Scrumptious Baby Cream, 2in1 Hair & Body Baby Wash, and the Baby & Child Miracle Detangler. The Scrumptious Baby Cream is great, its silky soft and rubs in easily and doesn't feel greasy at all. The hair and body wash was awesome, I actually used it as shampoo for myself. A little bit of it goes a long ways and it lathers up so nice. It doesn't lather up like your typical department store shampoo though. There are bubbles but not nearly as many. When I first noticed that I was worried that it wouldn't get my hair as clean but it did a great job, and I have very greasy hair. I also love that we can all use this shampoo, no more needing to buy 3 or 4 different types!


Original Sprout has offered up an Original Sprout Deep Conditioning Gift Basket for one lucky winner! It includes 12 oz Natural Shampoo, 12 oz Deep Conditioner, 12 oz Miracle Detangler, and 12 oz Leave In Conditioner ($90 value!).

Beba Bean with Giveaway **Closed**

Beba Bean is a gorgeous line of baby clothing, blankets, pee-pee teepees, shoes and accessories. Their line is available online, in Barney New York and over 2000 other retailers! Lots of their products are made from organic and bamboo fabrics.

Here's a bit from their site:

In 2002, after the birth of my second child, Alex, it was obvious that no products existed to specifically aid in the prevention of accidental wee-wee on me or my husband Peter! Our first reaction was “there has to be a something that can help?!” And so, the Pee-pee Teepee™ was born!

Soon after, using my clothing design background, I sewed up the first 100 Pee-pee Teepees™ and we participated in our first gift show, where 18 retailers started carrying the product. In just over 6 years, Beba Bean is now carried in over 2000 retail outlets across North America, Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

With the success of the Pee-pee Teepee, I started designing more products with the philosophy— adorable meets practical. We took ‘Beba’ from Peter’s European background and added ‘Bean’ (to represent a newborn in the womb) to form Beba Bean. Introducing bamboo and cotton knit apparel and blankets, along with adorably chic shoes completed the Beba Bean line and continued our dedication to create innovative products that parents love and babies can’t live without.

As always, my family is the center of my world. They inspire the fun and whimsy in all that I design. I feel lucky to do what I love all day and thank all our very loyal retailers who continue to share our vision with their customers and our new found retail customers who are discovering the joy of having a baby in their life everyday.

The pee-pee teepee is very well known and an awesome shower gift, sure to get some giggles. We were sent the Bamboo artist series "owl" t-shirt and the Bamboo jersey pant. I was very surprised about how fast they came. I was quite excited when I ripped into the box and was thrilled with what I pulled out.

The outfit was so cute and so soft. Everytime I touch bamboo I still can't believe how soft it is. I also love how it has such a small environmental footprint. Beba Bean goes up to 12-18 months and so nothing there fit Brandon. The outfit I got was 3-6 months and the sizing was very accurate. I gave this outfit to my cousin who just had a gorgeous baby boy!

Everyone was touching it and ohhhhing and ahhhhing over it. Kyla loved it and when I asked how it washed she said great. It still looks like new and that it shrunk a little bit but it was sized generously before hand. Overall I loved the outfit and dealing with them!

Beba Bean has offered one lucky reader a $25 gift certificate and everyone can use the code FFM01/19/10 to get 20% off!! Offer expires Feb 17th 2010

Bersica Futurewear with Giveaway **Closed**

Bersica Futurewear is a high performance clothing line that combines comfort, fun, and technology. Bersica Futurewear is revolutionizing children's clothing as the first brand of its kind to use textile nanotechnology, creating an entire line of virtually stain-proof, water-proof and eco-friendly activewear - now your kids can be kids and have fun while staying clean and dry, spill after spill!

I have been known to be called uptight and OCD before. I am OK with it but try and put it aside for the sake of my kids. We don't do tons of crafts just because I can't stand the mess but I am learning to let go and realize that it does clean up.

When I heard about Bersica Futurewear I was intrigued but assumed that the clothing would be saturated in gross chemicals. No matter how much of a clean freak I am I wouldn't put them in clothes covered in chemicals. But guess what.....they have no chemicals added to them!

Here's some of the other great features of the Bersica Futurewear clothing:

- TRULY soft and fully breathable...just like regular fabrics!
- Extremely liquid, oil and dirt repellent
- NanoSphere® textile technology used in Berisca and first to receive Nanotechnology Quality - Label
- Environmentally friendly
- The fabric used in our clothing meets the bluesign® standard, which guarantees the highest possible exclusion of substances which are harmful to humans as well as the environment
- High level of durability and quality
- Protects from UV rays
- Contains no harmful chemicals
- Stain Repellent

We received the pants for Brandon. They are like a track pant in navy blue. We got the 3 and they fit great, a little long but with the elastic waist you can do one roll and then they will last even longer. They wash up great, you do need to hang them to dry but they dry in like 10 minutes.

When I first got them I took them to the sink and ran some water over them. I couldn't believe it just beaded right off. Juice, water, anything. Ketchup needs to be run under water, not rubbed, and it comes off no problem too! These are great. I can't wait to see what other styles they come out with.

Bersica Futurewear has offered one of my readers a shirt, pair of pants, or pair of shorts

NuGo Nutrition

Good tasting nutrition bars are hard to find. NuGo Nutrition makes nutrition bars for almost every diet out there. Whether you are organic, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, low fat, high fiber, pareve, or high protein they have the bar for you.

Here's a bit from their site:

We could say the genesis of NuGo (Nutrition to Go) bars came to us in a brilliantly creative and inspired moment. But the truth is much different. It took lots of hard work and dedicated people to develop, manufacture and distribute the best tasting nutrition bars on the market.

As the story goes, two young men (then in their late 20’s) became interested in running as a means to keep fit both in body and mind. Add to that scenario the fact that one of the two originators had always been a little chubby as a teen and wanted to enjoy a snack that was both healthy and nutritious. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find one he liked on the market.

Working, first, in their respective kitchens and using only natural ingredients ( both great cooks), we came up with several recipes. Enlisting the help of family and friends as taste testers and ultimately the services of a food and nutrition specialist, the first NuGo bar emerged.

We received some of the gluten free bars for my husband, who is wheat intolerant, to try out. While he didn't love them all, he didn't hate any of them. He isn't the healthiest of eaters so he is a hard sell to start. His favorite was the Dark Chocolate Trail Mix. My girlfriend also tried the same one and here's what she said:

"It was really tasty - not too sweet and a really good size considering the calories"

Overall we would definitely try them again. Great for after a workout, or an hour or so before. They are also great for a quick and easy snack!

Label Daddy with Discount Code

I love reading about so many companies started out by Moms but its so much more rare to read about Dads that have started up their own companies! The two Label Daddies met and have been great friends since they were 16. They had always wanted to start up a company together but they just needed to come up with that "great" product that they knew would be a hit.

Once they both had kids they realized how many parents were labeling with permanent makers and having to relabel all of the time. They finally knew what they were going to do.

Label Daddy is the only label company who sells licenced and laminated labels. They carry a lot of the Disney characters as well as Pixar and more! There are princesses, cars, Micky Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and lots lots more to choose from.

We received some samples from Label Daddy and they are great. They stick great, don't peel off, and truly are microwave and dishwasher safe. They carry all types of labels of course. Labels for shoes, clothes, camping, school, bags and more!

Label Daddy has offered my readers a 15% off coupon code! Use code funky to get 15% off anything from their site. Offer expires March 1st 2010.

We got to try out the organic sun n fun sunscreen, organic cuddle soft lotion, organic tiny bubbles shampoo, and the organic playfull sudzz baby bath gel. We tried all of them and they are great. The shampoo and the baby bath gel can both be used as a shampoo and body wash. They smell great, rinse clean and a little bit goes a long way. The lotion is very moisturising and great with Brandons dry skin and dried to almost a powder like finish.

Even though it isn't summer and we didn't need any sunscreen I put it on one day anyways to see how it went on and felt once it was on. It went on nice and didn't feel all greasy or anything. This is something that I am looking forward to using more this summer and would even use it on myself.

One lucky winner will take home whichever two products they want!

Better Baby Bums with Giveaway **Closed**

Better Baby Bums was started up by two moms who between the two of them have 6 kids under the age of five. They are passionate about researching the products they carry and try them all out themselves. The "Better Bits" below each of the product descriptions is where they write about what they thought of the products themselves. They believe in their products and use them on all of there own kids!

When Better Baby Bums offered to send me some natural disposable diapers. I was a little unsure but tried them out, they are the Earths Best Tendercare diapers. We only use one brand of diapers in our house. We have tried another name brand type and no name ones and have never been happy with another diaper. I was willing to try them but was not to hopeful.

They are:

100% chlorine free
wood pulp made from renewable, sustainable forests
super, non-toxic absorbency
natural, absorbent materials made from wheat and corn
non-woven inner and outer cover made of plant-based materials
latex free
dye free
perfume free
stretch waist
full stretch side panels

What did I think of these diapers? Well I love them as much as my one name brand kind. I actually love them more because they are so much better on the environment. I also loved that they were plain white with no pictures on them. Great for photos. They held a lot of pee, and never leaked. And there is nothing in them that is bad for my baby. That's what helps people sleep better at night. If we were not starting potty training right now I would keep on buying these diapers!

Better Baby Bums just launched there US site and the first 100 orders will get a free WaterGeeks water bottle!

Better Baby Bums has offered one reader a 27oz filtered WaterGeeks Water bottle and all of my readers 20% off any purchase over $50 buy using code funkybum it expires Feb 14th 2010.
