Wickless with Nickless-Heather Nickless Independent Scentsy Consultant

***CLOSED***

Ok so this my friend Heather. She's adorable, she's kind, and she's also a fellow Scentsy consultant. 

I had agreed to do a review for Heather in middle Dec. Heather was fantastic got my plug in and bar ordered like pronto. Incomes UPS to screw everything up! They lost my plug in and bar. I hope the sucker who has my plug in warmer and bar of fresh cut grass is enjoying it.  I mean really who takes something that has someone else's name and address on it? Soooo Heather and I had to wait, and wait, and then wait some more. Scentsy had to wait for UPS to do their thang and finally issue the claim. A new warmer and bar was out to me after a week. Heather was great, she kept me updated and gave me tracking numbers as they were available. UPS gets a big fat red F.

 This is how it came to me. The top of the bar clam shell was broken off but I guess I can deal. Just made it slightly difficult to open. 

This is the swank warmer that I chose. LOVE it. I want the big one... I love scentsy, I love the safety factor. I love that I can warm a cube or two in either my plug in's or my bigger warmers and not have to worry about burning my house down. I love that I don't have to worry about the baby getting burned, and my pyromaniac son messing with flames. 

Look how pretty it is lit up.

Fresh Cut Grass is a discontinued scent. I love it. If you want something grassy and similar go for the current Shades of Green.

Heather is a fair and very nice person to work with. Even though I am not signed on her team, she has been helpful and welcoming. That is hard to find. 

Heather has offered a plug in to one lucky fan.

HootHootBaby Cloth Diapers and Training Pants

***CLOSED***

Wooo fluff! I do luv da fluff! I love all the WAHM fluff especially. I love that I can support a fellow WAHM. Libby was so kind,this past Christmas she found it in her schedule and in her heart to donate four diapers to the families from The Christmas Fairy. Total because of her and the others we were able to provide 3 families with at least 10 diapers! What is so intriguing and different about HootHootBaby?

I dig her natural fabrics, from her website "My products are made from printed cotton knit, organic bamboo fleece (70% viscose from bamboo, 30% organic cotton), and organic cotton velour."

Look at this super cute print! Every diaper come with a cute stamped tag and a wash cloth. 

Ansel is a super wetter so I asked if she could include her heavy wetter insert.

This is what I got.

So from left to right, the top soaker has snaps on the underside, which snap to the fitted, also has the capability to add the double in the middle for more protection and absorption. The middle can snap to the top making a two layer insert. The far right is the extra little booster for night time. Each layer is 3 layers of fabric so if you add all three, you have 9 layers of absorbency.

I put this diaper on Ansel with all the inserts and actually forgot to put a cover on him. He wore the diaper for 12 hours. When I got him up and changed him I was worried I'd have a soaked baby. He was just a little wet but certainly not soaked to the bone. 

I can get away with just one of the inserts for normal daily wear, if I want to put him down for a nap I can add in the middle soaker. I have used the third when we go on long trips or over night. Ansel likes to sleep so sometimes he has the diaper on for 12+ hours.

The diaper has two rise snaps, and two different hip snaps. Ansel wears it typically on the second snap and the farthest hip snap. He has a lot of wear in this diaper still.

 This is all three soakers in. Not too crazy bulky.

 There are cross over snaps and Ansel wears them with one of the snaps crossed over.

Oooo Cute baby fluffy bum!

So here is the only thing I am not thrilled about with this diaper. 

The leg casing is pretty wide. It seems to make it a little more bulky in his leg creases then other diapers. After talking to Libby about this, she said all I had to do was let her know and my next one she'll cut it differently for me.  I look forward to adding more of these amazingly cute and functional diapers to my stash....wouldn't you?

Libby has offered to one lucky fan a diaper in their choice of print!

The Grabby Tabby By TreaSured Creations

***CLOSED***

Hannah was a super person to work with.  She contacted me and asked me to review the Grabby Tabby. 

Such a cute idea. I love the little jewels.

I snagged this picture off their wall to show you how it's supposed to work. It goes on the ends of the cards, and facilitates an easier removal of your cards from your wallet. 

Now how it worked in mine...I had a hard time. The first set I attached and they fell off. I was sad, I thought I did something wrong. I ordered a new set from Hannah, I put them on my cards and I now know exactly why they fell off. My wallet is not the style that is compatible with the design. My wallet caused them to bend and fold. 

The rhinestones on the bumble bee one started coming off. 

The dog started to come off the card all together. 

Here they are in my wallet

It did help get them up out of my wallet easier. But My wallet just isn't the right design to compliment these cute tabs. Had my tabby's been put on the end of the card like this

I don't think i would have had any issue with the functionality of them.

So overall I LOVE the idea. I desperately need a new wallet this one is oh I'd guess 7 or so years old lol. I got it because I specifically hated trying to dig my cards out. I can now consider a new wallet in a different design because these fabulous tabs are available. 

I love the many cute designs and Hannah is easy to work with!

TreaSured Creations is offering up a smashing set of Grabby Tabby's to one lucky fan.

Pure Romance By Sarah Bouc

***CLOSED***

Who's feelin' saucy? Sarah Bouc is a fantastic consultant. She was very knowledgeable and able to recommend several products for me to try. I purchased Aura and Whipped, and she sponsored the Jelly C Ring and the Hot Massage Heart.

This little heart is amazing... You flip a little disk in side and it causes the liquid to react and get hot. Not just warm but nice and hot. It lasts for a good 45 min to an hour. I have used it as a little heat pack when I was cold and just couldn't get warm. I've used it on back muscle pain, and used it to give a massage. Liken it to hot stones. It's amazing. So not only is it amazing, it's reusable. You revive it in boiling water! You boil it for about 12-15 min. Be sure to watch it and set timers and all that jazz because if you don't this happens...

it says on the heart to place it on a cloth in the water...so I did. It also says don't let it boil dry...but um I did. 

It was a very sad day. I asked Sarah to make a little video on the proper way to revive it because well clearly I didn't get it lol.

Ok so after I killed my heart, I bought another one. It pairs well with the Aura massage oil. I got the seductive sage. It smells divine! It's not super greasy and sticky. It helps you glide your hands over the muscles easily and doesn't dry out too quickly either.
I was also given a Jelly C Ring to review. That is something new to us and well it takes some getting used to. It's got 7 different speeds, and easy push buttons. It also runs on AA batteries instead of button batteries. I will say it's a step outside of our box, but something we were both willing to do. Sarah suggested several different products...and this is what we have so far.

I also had a party with Sarah it was a lot of fun to do the boxes and chat with all the gals. I am pretty sure that a real life party would be just as fun and just as successful. I can't wait to get everything from my party. Sarah is easy going and very generous. I highly recommend her as a consultant and have a party with her!

Sarah is generously offering a Hot Heart Massager and a mini bottle of Lickity Stiff.

Also if you are interested in the Jelly C Ring she's offering 15% off when you order through her and mention the blog Mama Digs it.

This Weeks Winners!

 The Bubble Bee winner is Aileen Murphy

The Caramel Jar winner is Jessica King

The Carmel Jar-by The Digs herself

***CLOSED***

Nicole was so generous and gracious when I told her James ate the review candy. She just laughed it off. I was a little more stressed over it. I was orginally sent Fleur De Sel caramels which James ate every one of them...so when I purchased replacements I not only got the Fleur De Sel, but also got a sampler which had cashew ones, vanilla, and peacan. I will agree with James these are heaven!

These are my favorites I think. Love cashews...oh mama.

The Fleur De Sel are phenominal as well.

Now though, I do not think they were over packaged lol. I love the hand made cards and the ribbon. I think it makes it personal and readily available to give as a gift. I could send this straight from Nicole to a giftee and I wouldn't feel silly for not personally wrapping it. 

Important factors, Nicole isn't just a schmoe making stuff out of her nasty dirty kitchen for consumption. You don't have to guess where these were made, Nicole holds PA Department of Agriculture Home Kitchen Certification. How wonderful is that. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone else making stuff out of their home is making it in a dirty kitchen. This certification means you can rest assure that things are up to par. 

You can get sample sizes for $3.25 for 4 of the Fleur De Sel and for $4.50 for 8 of the variety.  

You will not be sorry though if you just went with a 1/2 lb jar! 

I was able to hide away a few in my Bubble Bee Creations candy jar. I think I'll get some more to live in there...they are that good!

Nicole has been generous to offer 1/2lb of Fleur De Sel caramels in a wax bag to a very very lucky reader and fan.

Bubble Bee Creations

***CLOSED***

Jennifer was so easy to work with. I'm sure I've said this before, but just in case not, I LOVE personalized things. I love being able to have something with what I want on it. Be it a name of my children because I can't find anything personalized pre-made for them, or be it something I get to plaster Mama Digs It on. I LOVE to be able to make things just so.

Bubble Bee Creations has so many different things to choose from. 

There are these fantastic cake totes

Super cute personalized candles

Oh so cute Bathroom sets

Even adorable piggy banks for children

LOVE this tin lidded jar

When I was setting up this review with Jennifer she asked me to choose something, I really wanted the bath set but they were out of stock. Jennifer suggested a treat jar, and since I knew I had the caramels from The Caramel Jar coming, I figured this would be perfect. That and I like to have kisses or reeses pieces on hand and what better way to store them then just in the bag.

Jennifer let me choose the vinyl colors and the font. Then she did her thang. Blue is my most favorite color so I choose two shades from her 44 different colors available. She has so many fonts available I had a bit of a time trying to decide. I went with a scripty looking font called Bounce Script, she has approximately 68 fonts to choose from! 

She embellished the jar with a matching ribbon and off it came to me. Now She is local to me, just on the other side of Atlanta in Powder Springs. She was so quick though, from the time I sent the email with my choices to the email of the picture of it complete was just an hour. I got the jar the day after it shipped. I love quick service. When she said she'd get right on it, she meant it.  The jar was well packaged so had it gone across country I am confident it would have gotten to me in one piece as well. 

I think my jar is going to either live on the head board of the bed, by my computer, or in my kitchen on the counter. It has the left over of a king size snickers in it, and the caramels from The Caramel Jar right now. I am thinking some yummy kisses or dove chocolates will go in it next. 

I love Jennifer's mission statement: "To craft affordable, high-quality items for individual use or as gift sets, and to "pay it forward" through random acts of kindness when the opportunities arise." Random acts of kindness are just divine to me. I have been the beneficiary of random acts of kindness and nothing is better then being the recipient save being the actor...

Jennifer has graciously offered a 10% coupon for anyone who'd like to make a purchase. Use code MamaDigsIt331

at check out on any of the items in store. 

She is also offering up one small treat jar to a lucky ready and fan.

The Caramel Jar-by James

***CLOSED***

These are the best caramels I've ever tasted. They were not hard. I had to use pictures from their site because I ate them all before taking pictures. The ones I got were Fleur De Sel. They were heaven. I think they were over packaged though. You had to get them out of this package first 

and then every one was wrapped AGAIN, like this

Takes too much time to eat the candies. 

But I can look past that because they were like eating heaven. 

You should buy some, they aren't gross like the ones from walmart.

you can buy them at her store here 

http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCaramelJar

Mom says I have to give something away and I don't want to use my money. She said I could give away 50 entries to her review where she is giving away 1/2 lb of caramel
