Misikko Professional Flat Iron Review and Giveaway!-- CLOSED

Winner is comment #266! Congratulations Melissa Jane!

Misikko sent me their Hana Professional 1" Flat Iron (pink edition!) to review and giveaway! Yes, one lucky reader is going to win one of these ($119.99 RTV)!

So onto the review...

First, when the package arrived at my doorstep and I opened it up, I was so impressed with the packaging...GORGEOUS! Not only did I recieve a new flat iron, storage pouch and iron mat but I also was given the Hana ShineShield Thermal Protectant, lavender scented hand santizer, nail files and silk roses that had been hand dipped into fragrance and soap...the packaging was beautiful and it smelled amazing! Right now, I have the hand dipped roses in my bathroom for decoration and scent!

Now, the flat iron....I gotta say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing! I have a Chi and I love this one so much more! The Hana Professional Flat Iron left my hair looking shiny and not dried out in the least. I also love how this flat iron has a heat setting. I can change the setting to match my hair style whereas my chi only has one setting which ends up frying my hair a bit because it is too hot for my hair type. I am absolutely in love with my Hana Professional Flat Iron! See the results for yourself!

Here is a picture of my hair that had air dried after taking a shower:
Now here is my hair after using my Hana Professional 1" Flat Iron:
And here is my hair slightly curled using the Hana Professional 1" Flat Iron:
I think the pictures really speak for themselves!

I am super impressed with this flat iron and now interested in learning more about the other Misikko products...I am especially interested in their professional hair dryers and am totally eying the T3 Tourmaline Evolution and the Super Solano Micro 3600!

Now onto the giveaway! As I said before, one lucky reader is going to win a Hana Professional 1" Flat Iron- Pink Edition ($119.99 RTV!)

Earth Mama Angel Baby Milkmaid Tea and Body Wash Review and Giveaway-- CLOSED

Winner is comment #1! Congratulations Josephine!

I first fell in love with Earth Mama Angel Baby Products when I started using their nipple butter when I was just starting out breastfeeding..the cracking, bleeding...all the pain involved when your body is adjusting to breastfeeding was hard. I first tried Lanolin as that is what the hospital gave me but I found it to be really thick and didn't feel like it helped much. I had read about Earth Mama Angel Baby Nipple Butter and read all the great reviews and decided to try it out...it was AMAZING...it really helped relieve and heal my nipples. I don't need it much more that we are established in our nursing and my body has adjusted but every now and again, I use it for when Lilly is a bit "rough" and it is just the best stuff...I won't use anything else!

Earth Mama Angel Baby sent me some of their Organic Milkmaid Tea and Happy Mama Body Wash to review.

I was super excited to try out the Organic Milkmaid Tea. I, unfortunately, got my first period at 6 weeks postpartum even though I exclusive breastfeed. With my period came a huge drop in supply. So every month, when my period shows up, my supply drops....I was really hoping to find something to help and so I was super excited to try out this product which contains 100% organic herbs that are traditionally used for healthy breast milk production.

Below are the listed ingredients in this milkmaid tea:
Foeniculum vulgare (organic fennel) seed, Trigonella foenum-graecum (organic fenugreek) seed, Rubus idaeus (organic red raspberry) leaf, Urtica diocica (organic stinging nettle) leaf, Mentha spicata (organic spearmint) leaf, Citrus sinensis (organic orange) peel, Pempinella anisum (organic anise) seed, Carum carvi (organic caraway) seed, Medicago sativa (organic alfalfa) leaf

When I first opened the tea package, it had a very familiar smell...it smelled just like maple syrup! I have actually read that fenugreek (an ingredient in this tea) smells like maple syrup so I knew that is where the smell was originating from. I am not normally a tea drinker at all...but I really wanted to help up my milk supply during my menstrual cycle and was willing to try almost anything....let me tell you...this tea is pretty darn good! And that is coming from someone who doesn't even like tea!

Also, I do feel like it did help increase my supply a bit during my menstrual cycle and that was my hope! I am now going to be using this tea every month to keep my supply up during that time!

Earth Mama Angel Baby also sent me their Happy Mama Body Wash....and Oh my goodness...I LOVE it. When I use this body wash, I totally feel like I am taken to a tropical place; the smell is so intoxicating and beautiful!

And for you pregnant ladies out there, this is safe to use during pregnancy. It is said to be ideal for noses that are sensitive from morning sickness (fresh ginger is used to combat queasiness)...I had HORRIBLE morning sickness....actually, I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum while pregnant with Lilly...so anything that could have helped even just a little in regards to nausea would have been great! If I have morning sickness with #2, I will definitely try this body wash to help!

Now, onto the giveaway! One lucky reader will have their chance to win either the Organic Milkmaid Tea OR Happy Mama Body Wash.

Entry will be closed at 11:59PM, May 22, 2010. An e-mail will be sent to the winner and they will have 48 hours to e-mail me their address. (I will put CLOSED in the title of the post when entry is closed) **Giveaway is open to U.S. residents only**

Moon Over Maize Mommy Necklace Giveaway!-- CLOSED

Winner is comment #29! Congratulations Emma!

Moon over Maize Etsy Shop is offering an AMAZING giveaway! One lucky reader is going to win a gorgeous and unique mommy necklace (up to 2 name charms)...I gotta say, I am jealous and totally wish I could enter!

I love this Etsy shop. In December of '08, I purchased an infertility necklace from this shop. The quality was excellent and the customer service was amazing; she let me know she was thinking of me when we were undergoing our treatments; she really made me feel like a special customer. Oh, and I became pregnant, after more than 2 years of trying and treatments, the month I started wearing my new beautiful infertility necklace!

So on top of a beautiful, high quality piece of jewelery, you get exceptional customer service. I would highly recommend this Etsy Shop....her work is great! So make sure you go on and check out Moon Over Maize!

ecomom Pritti Polish and Pangea Lipcare Review and Giveaway-- CLOSED

Winner is comment #48! Congratulations Butterfly1979!
Ecomom was awesome and sent me some Pritti Polish and Pangea Lipcare to review and giveaway to one of my readers!

I really love the Pangea Lipcare I was sent. Sometimes chapsticks go on so thick and are kinda waxy like...this was not; it was really smooth and goes on light. It also smells a little lemon-y and I LOVE lemon scented anything! I keep it on my nightstand and have been using it a lot..I am really loving this new lip balm!

I haven't put on nail polish in quite some time and I haven't had a pedicure since I was pregnant...I know, I need to go out and have some ME time! Anyhow, I put on the Pritti Polish (Dragon Arum color) and it went on great..I only needed one coat. I have had the polish on for a little over a week and it is still holding pretty strong...there are a few spots I could touch up but it is holding really well considering I soak in the tub every night while I give Lilly a bath! And I gotta say, it felt good to pretty up a bit!

So moms out there...this is for you! Enter this giveaway to win this awesome lip balm and pritti polish for yourself!
