The Silli Squeeze WInner

Boogie Wipes Winner

Boogie Wipes

Have you heard of em? Where have you been living if snot? LOVE these wipes.
About how they started:

Mindee Doney and Julie Pickens, often referred to as The Boogie Moms®, developed Boogie Wipes in 2007 as a solution for their kids’ runny, red noses. Months of market research led to the invention of the Boogie Wipe: a saline-infused wipe that soothes chapped, rough noses while dissolving mucus. After a six-month development and manufacturing process, Doney and Pickens shipped their first orders of Boogie Wipes in December, 2007. By the end of 2008, Boogie Wipes were available in 30,000 U.S. stores

You can totaly save the sleeve too!

Their on-going promotion is called Save The Sleeve!  It’s a fun, interactive way for kids to learn to put their boogies in a Boogie Wipe and not on their sleeves!  You can learn more at SaveTheSleeve.com .  They have a Teacher’s Kit available for classrooms!

GO AHEAD AND BRAG!  We are looking for 3 Extraordinary Kids to be featured on our Fresh, Grape and Unscented canisters, during the 2012 cough and cold season.  We will begin taking Extraordinary Kid contest submissions, beginning August 1, 2011.  For more information, please visit: http://www.boogiewipes.com , or SaveTheSleeve.com.   (Official rules will be available August 1, 2011.)



They make wiping noses so much easier. Ansel likes to wipe his own nose, but he doesn't like tissues. He likes to wipe everyone elses nose too. Now something I didn't know about was their new line for older kids and adults called Saline Soothers.

I got samples of these along with our boogie wipes in grape. LOVE the product I am so excited.
So in our house we have boogie wipes now every where. I love that they come in different scents,

They come in, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol, Great Grape, and unscented.  When there is congestion I like the magic menthol. It's not super over powering but it helps break the crud up.  Great Grape is perfect for the days that the nose runs like a faucet and you need just a little enticement for wiping authority.  Unscented is perfect for even the tiniest of noses. Fresh Scent is for the sniffers... I have sniffers...

He likes to sniff the wipes ALL the time.  SO here is what happens in my house, Ansel grabs the wipes, brings them to me and asks for one, or like this picture. Turkey just opens them himself.

He will wipe his own nose, sometimes he sniffs them, sometimes he eats them..

The best thing about that is I dont' have to freak. It's all natural saline.  Other times he not only wipes his nose, but he wipes other peoples noses too.

We love our boogie wipes. They come in the 30ct packages, travel packages and the new canisters!

They are super great! Soothing, and cleans up the crud with little to no whining.

A very lucky fan will win their own boogie wipes prize! Contest ends Nov. 11, 2011 12:01 am est.

Willow House with Kerry Traveria

Kerry is just a fabulous person to work with.  Amazing products can only take you so far. She is personable, kind, and does exactly what she says she's going to do. She let me choose my item, ordered it very promptly and the shipping was super fast.

Kerry even suggested I choose a higher priced item. I would have normally gone for something a little less expensive. I LOVED her suggestion though. This cinnabar baker is just fabulous.

I will be using it much this holiday season. It's a great piece of glazed stoneware. I am a stoneware-aholic. I love to use it. It not only bakes everything well, but it keeps it toasty warm for ever! Daddy Digs It works from home, and his hours are kinda wonky. Sometimes he's eating dinner up to an hour or more after we eat. I made this oh so yummy chicken veggie casserole in it, and it stayed toasty warm for like an hour.

There are so many different products to love. Like this oh so cute reindeer cheese plate

These personalized stockings are adorable too.

Willow House has this amazing deal, when a customer spends $39.96 or more, they qualify to purchase anything in the catalog that costs $39.96 or less at half price! (They qualify for this customer special even when shopping in the outlet or weekly deal sections of her business website, but the half price item must be chosen from the catalog).

Holy cow half price just for shopping... LOOOOOVE IT!

So what kinds of things can you get for $39.96?

 This really cool 3 pc trivet set

 How bout this 4pc set of cinnabar tid bit bowls?

 LOVE this message board.

Cute pedistal.

SOO much more. The products are very nice, and they have several different styles so you can pick something that is just you.

One super duper lucky person is going to get their very own $39.96 credit. You can choose anything for your prize but it needs to be at least $39.96. Then if you choose you can get your half price item as well! Contest ends November 10, 2011 12:01 am est.  Kerry is going out of town so you will have to respond like right away or you will have to wait until after the 20th of the month for your prize.

The Sili Squeeze, It's not a bottle. It's a Squeeze

The Sili Squeeze...can we say ingenious? I had a whole slew of things I wanted to give Ansel, it just wasn't happening.  I wasn't up for the mess, and he wasn't up for the confinement of the high chair.  There were things that he'd eat only if he could help himself to them, apple sauce, yogurt;  you know the messy stuff that mom's want to spoon feed ever so carefully?

I am so happy to found this! Ansel not only can have the things he really likes, but I can let him wander and roam with them like he wants. It doesn't spill, it doesn't leak, and he can't squeeze it out! The spout requires compression along with sucking in order to get anything out. It only took Ansel a minute or two before he had it down perfectly.

Sili Components:

• Detachable, clear, plastic cap keeps the nipple protected while storing your Sili Squeeze™
• Silicone nipple with built-in plastic base attaches smoothly to the Sili Squeeze™ 'home' ring, locking in place, completing the squeeze-controlled/spill-proof, patent pending design
• Silicone body is soft, easy-to-squeeze and easy-to-clean due to the naturally non-stick quality of the silicone. The wide opening makes it easy to fill with your homemade purees and smoothies.

It comes apart for cleaning like so:

I just take it apart like that and put it on the top shelf of the dishwasher, put the two lid parts in with the sippy cup stoppers and bottle rings and nipples and all is clean.
There are two sizes, a 6oz and 4oz size. I will say the 4oz one has the two jars of pictured baby food in it. There is just a touch left in one of the jars.

They do not have to be completely full to work either. Feel free to put in as little or as much as you want and it all works the same!

So the nipple gets a little discolored with use. I put carrots in it, Ansel ate them up and it is not a touch orange. But that's to be expected! He is prefectly happy with them, loves them infact. He walks around saying SQEEEEZE...

I give this product two thumbs up, it's easy to use, easy to clean, and is a super easy and clean way to get the fruits and veggies into my little guy that other wise he might not get.
I will definitely recommend it to my friends, and will for SURE give it as a gift.

One very lucky person is going to win a sili squeeze gift pack! Contest ends November 11, 2011 12 am est.

Jen's Mark winner is.....

Jen's Mark

It seems like forever ago that I got all this amazing stuff from Jen's Mark. Actually It probably was. I had about 5 months of emails that just disappeared into nothingness. I was quite sad. I posted for a call on everyone who I missed and I KNOW I didn't get everyone. Then between email tag, this review got delayed. ALAS, I didn't forget about it because I use these amazing products EVERY day! I am Madly in love. I have super oily skin, my Mom has super oily skin, my Grandma had super oily skin. We are talking change your oil type oily skin. Make you wanna wash your face with dish soap kind of oily skin. It's gross, sure it might look all glowy from afar, but it's really a full on Monet. Far away looks pretty but up close, it's just an oily mess. Jen suggested a few things that would help me out and she sent them super fast. I got a wonderful skin care set, an amazing exfoliator,

 and this lovely color flip compact.

What is wonderful about the skin care set, is it comes with it's travel size duplicates of everything! I didn't have to hunt for  little bottles to transfer my skin care when I went out of town this summer. It was already there and ready to go! I do not like creame washes, I like to feel like I'm getting clean, and suds do that job for me. The matte lotion is amazing. If I am feeling extra oily in the day I can grab that and put a tad bit on and it helps refresh my face and stave off the urge to use the dish soap.
I have been sold on this and will not buy anything but from now on, it's by far the best that I've used.
The exfoliate is amazing. A little goes a long way. I use it daily and it barely looks used! It's got natural exfoliates in it, and it's not a harsh scrubbiness. I just put a little in my hand and mix it with the gel cleanser and vioala beautifully exfoliated skin that isn't red from harsh scrubbers.

When I told Jen that I loved the smokey eye look but had a hard time achieving it, I was pleasantly surprise to find this lovely It Kit in my box. 

I LOVE the purple hues. I have been able to get my version of the smokey eye without looking like I just slept in my makeup. The coverage is great, the blush is a lovely pink without looking hookerish and on the back is 6 lip glosses. I don't have to have 800 different little do dads. I grab this and my powder and I'm set.

The price of all the products make it extremely affordable, and the quality makes it something you will want to buy again! Working with Jen just makes the experience all the better!

Jen is giving away this lovely Super Flip Kit to one lucky reader.
