Sock 'n Boots Adventures ~ Children's Book ~#Rafflecopter GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/14


We are having an issue with sleeping right now. Well, we aren't, I sleep just fine. It's my 8 year old son who is. He's scared being in his room alone when the lights go out.

We have tried every method we can think of - assuring him there's nothing to fear, doing a scan over the whole room with lights on, taking him around showing him all doors and windows are secure, night lights - even cool color changing ones, making his bed into a cool tent, lying in bed with him until he falls asleep, I've even tried melatonin. I've gotten angry with him too and I don't want to do that - no one wants to be afraid.

So the other day, a cute little book arrived in the mail. Sock N Boots. I had no prior knowledge of these guys. We had just finished cleaning his bedroom, so as a fun finish, I offered to read him "Sock 'n Boots Adventures".

The first story in the book deals with sharing. Now typically we think of sharing as a toddler issue, but sharing can be hard for lots of kids no matter the age - my son included. So, this was a nice story to read.

It's laid out in a practical scenario so that it's not preach-y or even instructional. It puts the reader in the characters shoes ( ahem... boots ) in a very real and quite possible situation. It allows the reader to feel what it might be like if they were in that situation and how they would like to be treated if they were.

It was a great conversation starter as well. We talked about different possible outcomes and why it makes sense to share.

But the next story, ah the next story. When I read the title, he smiled and said "that's like me!" - afraid of the dark. As I read, he could relate to how Sock was feeling and could see how silly Sock was actually being. But sometimes, it's very comforting to know you're not alone and this book did that for Julien. It just seemed to ease a bit of that pressure.

He slept in his own bed last night with little trouble getting there. I wondered if he was thinking of Sock :)

"Sock 'n Boots Adventures", contains 3 stories and a coloring book section. I love the illustrations and the characters become friends by the time you're finished reading. I can't wait for more stories to follow!

    Reviva Labs ~ All Natural Skin-Care Products ~ Lift & Firm Serum ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/29




    For over 38 Years Reviva Labs has been producing all natural skin-care products that help leave your skin healthier and more youthful-looking.


    Reviva Labs products are sold in professional skin care salons and health food stores worldwide, which attests to our product's effectiveness and safety.


    Reviva Labs is one of the most unique skin-care brands in the cosmetic industry. Reviva's products are not conventional commercial items. Established in 1973 to serve the newly emerging skin-salon market, the Reviva line is comprised of skin treatments created for skin professionals demand for individualized formulas that meet specific needs.


    Thus in Reviva's broad array, each product is formulated for a specific purpose.


    During Reviva's early years, it was known as "The U.N. of skin-care discoveries". With European affiliations Reviva's founder had selected the specialties of 12 different laboratories in 6 different countries, imported them in bulk and repackaged in retail sizes under the Reviva label.


    Years later, Reviva Labs own chemists, experienced with natural extracts, were able to reproduce the treatments, following Reviva's exacting standards; adding the latest technological advances.


    Reviva Labs, a small company compared to the cosmetic giants, via it's European affiliations and dermatalogical research, has introduced more skin-care firsts through America's skin salons and health food stores, than most of the cosmetic giants.



    I've had the pleasure of using Reviva Labs Lift & Firm Serum for about a month now. I am really enjoying it. You will notice a tightening effect directly upon applying. This is a great feature - instant results encourage consistent use. Consistent use has allowed me to see long term effects. I have noticed an over all firming. 


    I was starting to see signs of my family curse - the chin. It's not really a double chin, but a loss in definition - the chin sort of connects to the neck. My oldest calls it a gullet! I remember my Mother exercising it when I was a little girl. She remembers her m=Mother doing the same. I come from a long line of hate for it. And while we generally age well, the gullet is our curse!


    Reviva Lift & Firm targets the lower part of the face & the neck. That is why I chose this product to try.


    In using it regularly, I have seen an overall firming of this area. Nothing extreme, but I feel more smoothed out, more firm especially in my chin area.


    I am really happy that Reviva Labs products are all natural - I feel good knowing I'm not absorbing junk into my body when using it.

    Bluum ~ Deluxe samples for Mom & Baby ~ Bluum Box ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/24

    Before I became a Momma, I was a product whore. Now that I am kid friendly, I still am, but we'll call it a product monster.

    I am a product monster.


    As we all know, the trouble with dishing out on products, is that it costs a lot to find those wow products that you truly love & need, and are happy to pay for each time they run out.

    That is the shining moment in a product monster's habit - when the golden product is found - the one that makes your life easier. The one you recommend to family and friends, and sometimes complete strangers if you see them hovering close to said product in the store unable to decide. The one that smells so good.

    Bluum does that for you. Bluum sends you products each month, at a small fraction of retail, so that you can try before you buy :) Happy monster :)

    Another part of my monster instinct is packaging. I am attracted to pretty shiny things. I have found some of the best products this way. Dr. Bronner's - you know with all the zany writing all over the bottle? I bought that before I even knew what was inside, so many years ago, as a teen in a hippie shop - because of the packaging. I have used it ever since and will forever. I've also found some of the best books that way. While I would never judge a book by it's cover, I wouldn't discount the pretty ones either!

    Bluum does that for you too. The presentation is perfect. The Bluum box arrives to you in a Bluum postal box. Inside is the actual box which is a nice quality box - ready for gift giving. The logo is nicely printed on the lid. Inside, nestled in pretty tissue paper are that month's selections - some of the best products, from the most posh brands for Mom & Baby. So we've got pretty packaging wrapped in pretty packaging, wrapped in pretty packaging, wrapped in pretty packaging! Yay!


    My product monster-ish-ness lead me to what I do here at Wishing Penny. It was through starting this web site, that I learned that I love marketing, which might naturally go along with being a product monster. So in trying the Bluum service, I realized, that not only is this service fabulous for mom's who love finding great products, but Bluum is a wonderful service for the brands who are included in their boxes. Participating brands have the opportunity to reach so many mom's who might not have ever heard of ,or not stopped to try them before Bluum.

    It's a win win situation packed up in a pretty box - the Bluum box.

    And, take my word for it, this is a PERFECT gift for a new mother. You could give a Bluum membership as a shower gift for just $9 a month - for one year, that's only $108.  Or you could gift the starter plan at $11 a month for three months making it only $33. Or, you could carry in one Bluum box for only $12. It's like receiving a little Christmas in a box each month!

    Like I promised last month, I now have a Bluum box to give away to one lucky reader!

    BUY IT:

    You can purchase Bluum online @ http://www.bluum.com or, you can click through my button on top right side :)

    WIN IT!!!

    One super lucky winner will receive a Bluum box delivered to their home :))

    MAIN ENTRY:

    Tell me a brand or product you'd like to see featured in a Bluum box & become a friend at Wishing Penny via Google Friend Connect. Both parts mandatory to win - thanks :)

    Creo Care ~ Super Antioxidant Hair & Body Care ~ CREO Hair Care Trilogy ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/23


    CREO products = Super Antioxidant Power and Superior Effectiveness.


    CREO Care offers the world's only personal care products with the INCREDIBLE POWER OF GERMINATED SEED EXTRACTS.
    Via our revolutionary manufacturing process we capture the life giving essence of germinated seeds and incorporate them into all of our cleansers and conditioners. These compounds give a tiny plant sprout the ability to survive when it's most vulnerable - even in the harshest environments. Our blend of germinated grape, red clover and sunflower seed extracts, called CREOPLEX™, provides CREO with incredible antioxidant potency. CREO products are the only products in the world which contain germinated seed extracts.

    The significance of "GERMINATED" seeds


    Recently a 2000 year old date palm seed was germinated in Israel. This seed rested, dormant for 2000 years only to have it's life-giving properties released simply by adding water. During the sprouting or "germination" process, powerful compounds are transformed within the plant which provide it with food and protection from the intense environmental stresses it will encounter as it grows. The discovery of these compounds is a major break-through as they are distinctly different from those found in non-germinated seeds. Antioxidant activity in germinated seed extracts is much higher than extract from non-germinated seeds and germinated seed extract is much more water soluble.


    The above info is taken directly from the Creo site. Sometimes you just can't say it better. 

    I am used to using professional products on my hair. There is a difference in quality and just prefer professional.hair care. Creo is that. I can tell just by the scent that it's a high quality product.

    So what do I say? I've already told you Creo is high quality. It leaves my hair soft and shiny. It doesn't weigh my hair down. The scent is wonderful - a nice tropical smell that's natural, not perfumey.

    What really sets Creo Care products apart, is it's conscientiousness. I am aware of everything that touches my skin. While it can't all be wholesome, I try to use as much good and stay away from as much bad as I can. This is a feel good product. Feel good for me, my kids, and the environment.


    BUY IT:

    You can purchase hair & skin care from Creo online.



    WIN IT!!!

    One lucky winner will receive a Creo Hair Care Trilogy which includes • 10 ounce Super Antioxidant Hair Cleanser • 10 ounce Super Antioxidant Hair Conditioner • 4 ounce Therapeutic Hair Masque

    GroVia ~ Cloth Diapers ~ Hybrid Trial Pack ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/21






    I'm going to share a little story with you. It will show you just how passionate I am about cloth diapering, and maybe show you I'm a little crazy too! 

    I attended BlogHer this year. My little Capri goes everywhere with me, so it's just natural she would attend with me. She hopped a ride in the Ergo carrier and was the best travel buddy anyone could hope for!

    In planning for what to pack, many suggested I just forgo the cloth and use disposables for the trip. It would be so much easier, right? I'll agree to the easy part, but I am a cloth diaper Mama and not only would it have felt bad, I write about and promote cloth diapering at my blog, so in attending a blogging event, I would feel pretty dishonest to abandon them just for convenience. 

    I packed all my favorite shells and inserts. I packed a LOT of them - most of my stash. You know, what if she gets a bad tummy? Or what if I have no way of washing them and I have to use a fresh start with each change? What if while I'm in San Diego a zombie apocalypse erupts and I have no access to electricity - I prepared for the worst.  

    I stayed at the Hard Rock. I bet their bathrooms have never seen anything like us before!

    I ended up washing, by hand, each day, all of my inserts. I brought my diaper detergent and did a cold rinse and hot wash  followed by a hot rinse. After ringing out as much of the moisture as I could by hand, I allowed them to hang in the shower all day while I was out and about. When in the evening I returned to my room and was ready to shower, I hung them on hangers in the closet over night to air dry the rest of the way.

    I ended up with plenty, so never needed to use any of the hand washed diapers. I brought my wet bag so I brought all of them home in that. It turned out well - I didn't have to bring home any stinkies and was prepared for any diaper crisis that could have come my way! 

    BUT... and this is a big but. I could have averted all of that. 

    After returning, I received a GroVia Hybrid trial pack to sample. I realized immediately that the hybrid is the cloth mama's answer to disposables and how much easier life would have been if I would have only known.

    The hybrid is an AI2 system that consists of the shell & biosoaker. Simply lay/spread your BioSoaker in your GroVia Shell or favorite diaper cover and fasten on baby. Use sticky tabs to adhere to cotton underwear as trainers!

    The biosoaker is disposable and is Fragrance, Dye, Plastic, & Chlorine Free. Is non-toxic for baby & environment and has been tested for harmful substances according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

    Perfect for cloth diapering on the go - anytime you'll be away from home - even just a day of errands.

    We took a mini trip after returning from BlogHer and I had the opportunity to put the hybrids to the test. They are genius! You're staying true to cloth and not sacrificing convenience. Comfy & safe for baby and sooo easy for Mom.

    I hear some people use hybrids for their diapering system. I personally would not. I like the idea of washing and reusing cloth. That way I know exactly what is covering my baby's bottom and I know that I am contributing no diaper waste. 

    But for travel ,busy days, or emergencies these are PERFECT and I will now never be without a stash of GroVia biosoakers.

    * Please note, if you ever need to purchase GroVia, I am an affiliate and if you purchase through my blog ( button -top right ), I get a small kick back that helps keep my bitty one in GroVia. I would appreciate it :))


    BUY IT:

    You can purchase GroVia hybrids and traditional AI2's including the new newborn line at many local and online retailers

    WIN IT!!!

    One super lucky winner will receive a GroVia Hybrid Trial Pack, which includes 50 eco-friendly BioSoaker Pads, 2 GroVia Hook and Loop or Snap Closure Shells in winners choice of color or print & closure.

    Visit GroVia and tell me which closure and colors you would choose & become a friend at Wishing Penny via Google Friend Connect. Both parts mandatory to win - thanks :)
