BuyAliceInWonderlandCostumes.com Review!



Do you love Alice in Wonderland? We do too... So for this Halloween we decided that Annabelle would be Alice, and my husband, The Mad Hatter!


Adorable, right? 

Well, if you'd like to go with an Alice in Wonderland theme too... I highly recommend checking out www.buyaliceinwonderlandcostumes.com ! 

BuyAliceinWonderlandCostumes has the costumes you need that will impress everyone! 

We received the Mad Hatter costume for review... and my husband was impressed! He said the costume was surprisingly comfortable, the material was soft- not scratchy like he had anticipated. He also said he thought it was very well made.



I love that the costume came with nearly everything he needed to wear. All he needed was a t-shirt and shoes! That's right, the costume came with the hat, jacket, pants, vest, partial white shirt, and ascot! I found it surprising that with all the included pieces the quality was still there. This costume is well worth the money!

Now if you like the Mad Hatter, but would rather go with the newest Disney version...no worries, they have plenty of styles of Mad Hatter costumes!



You can also find some great Queen of Hearts costumes....  

I would love to use this costume to be the Queen of Hearts:


And don't forget the Cheshire Cat! BuyAliceinWonderlandCostumes has some great Cheshire Cat costumes...


So cute!!


What is your favorite Alice costume? If you could be any character, which would you choose?

Activia Selects Review






MmmmMmmm. See that up there.... THAT is the NEW Activia Selects Parfait. Delicious yogurt with granola on top to swirl in for your delight.

I received a coupon to try one of the new Activia Selects, and I chose the Activia Selects Parfait in vanilla. It was fabulous. I love the crunch that the granola added, and it tasted more like a treat than a snack... and it was so much better for me!

If you don't know already, Activia is a very nutritious snack. Also, Activia helps regulate the digestive system with a probiotic culture called Bifidus Regularis, when consumed daily for 2 weeks.

Activia is also participating in Every Cup Counts. Each specially marked package of Dannon yogurt contains an under-the-lid code. Each lid code that you enter by December 31, 2011 at www.cupsofhope.com will raise at least 10 cents for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (up to $1.5 Million).  

NBCF is committed to spreading knowledge and fostering hope in the fight against breast cancer. With support from Dannon, NBCF will fund free mammograms for women who could otherwise not afford them and will support research programs in leading facilities across the country.
Activia Selects and Oikos single serve will include an additional donation of 10 cents, totaling 20 cents!
So, not only do you get to snack on a delicious, nutritious snack...but you can help raise money for the NBCF!

Also be on the lookout for the other Selects flavors! Activia Selects line also includes...



 

I personally cannot wait until I see the Greek Selects in my local grocery store! I LOVE thick yogurt... and the pomegranate berry flavor sounds delish!

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Dannon Activia Selects Yogurt Series and received a coupon to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.

EnviroKid Bean Bag Review and #Giveaway!





What if I told you I found a bean bag that is environmentally friendly, never needs to be refilled, and that your kids will LOVE?

Well... it's true! 

EnviroKid offers environmentally-friendly (PVC and Pthalate-Free!) bean bags that your kids will love.

We received the Bean Bag Lounger from EnviroKid.


These Bean Bag Loungers are BIG! They are MUCH bigger than I thought they were going to be.

In fact, here are FOUR of my kids on it...


The dimensions of the EnviroKid Bean Bag Lounger are, 53"x40"!

The outside of the bag is made of EnviroLeather, a PVC free synthetic leather (that feels very close to the real thing). This EnviroLeather quickly adjusts to the child's body temperature as well, so the little one isn't uncomfortable when sitting/laying on the bean bag! I am sure most of you have sat on one of those plastic-y covered bean bags and felt how uncomfortable they can be.

The EnviroLeather is durable, too. I thought, for sure, that this Bean Bag Lounger would last less than a month in our home. With our five boys, I fully expected it to be torn apart and the filling to be everywhere. Well, that hasn't happened yet!

While the beans in traditional bean bags are made with styrene foam (and crush and lose their shape), EnviroKid's Bean Bags have different beans,

"The durable core of the bean bag is made from resilient beads that don’t crush or lose their shape. This eliminates the need to refill the bag once you’ve purchased it." -EnviroKid


The boys were so excited to see this Bean Bag Lounger in their room! It has been incredibly durable, and it still looks brand new. The only thing that was a little different was that the Bean Bag Lounger doesn't feel "broke in" yet. There are a lot of beans in the bag, and since they do't crush and lose their shape, it stays pretty full and this leaves a more stiff feeling seat. None of the kids complained about it at all, that is just my view from an adult standpoint. I don't think the kids care much about it being "broke in"... and I love that EnviroKid has made a product that I can feel better about using. 


GIVEAWAY!
Complete the Rafflecopter form below, be sure to read the instructions, I check all winning entries for compliance! Good Luck!






I received the EnviroKid Bean Bag Lounger free, for the purpose of this review. I received no monetary compensation and all opinions are my own. I make no guarantees that your experience will be the same as mine.
