Philips Avent Giveaway

When you have a baby, it's extremely important to provide them with the best of everything.  It's essential to make sure their bottles are beneficial to them, along with letting them play with toys to help their growth and development.  Make sure you choose the brands that will help your baby be the best they can be.

Philips Avent is a leader in parenting and baby products.  The product line-up includes breastfeeding, bottle feeding, toddler feeding, baby monitors, and newborn gifts. When I think of bottles, one of the first brands that comes to mind is Philips Avent.  If you know anyone who's having a baby, any Philips Avent product makes a wonderful baby shower gift, as well as a new baby gift. Every baby needs bottles and pacifiers.  The products are made well and built to last.  I'm expecting my first child in December and will be surely using many of their products with my baby.

If you plan on bottle feeding, I'd like to recommend the Philips Avent natural bottle.  This is the most natural way to bottle feed and provides babies with the best start in life.

With a design inspired by nature, this bottles allows infants to feed as close to breast as possible, making it easier to combine bottle and breastfeeding.  

I know I plan on bottle feeding, so this would definitely be a bottle I would be using.  The wide "breast-like" shape makes it easy to latch on, and the unique comfort petals inside nipple increase softness and flexibility without collapse.  A wonderful feature about the bottle is that its advanced anti-colic system with innovative twin valve allows air into the bottle-not baby's tummy.  The bottle is available in glass, as well as polypropylene, a BPA free material.  If style is important to you, the bottle is featured in pink, blue and clear, as well as elephant, monkey, and flower designs.  

Another baby essential that all newborns need are pacifiers.  The Philips Avent free flow pacifier is a wonderful choice for the natural development of baby's palate, teeth, and gums.  

This pacifier features orthodontic, collapsible, and symmetrical nipples that respect baby's growth and development.  As with all Philips pacifiers, the free flow pacifier is made of silicone and is taste and odor-free.  

If you're looking for a pacifier that truly takes into account all areas to make baby comfortable, this is surely the one for you.  The six holes in the curved pacifier shield minimize skin irritation.  The flat, drop-shaped nipple respects the shape of baby's palate, even when the pacifier is positioned upside down in the mouth.  It's durable and long-lasting, and guaranteed to not become misshapen or discolored over time.  It is sterilizer and dishwasher safe too for convenience.  For babies 0-6 months, the pacifier is offered in green/purple and yellow/blue designs, while 6-18 month old babies have a choice of pink/orange or blue/green designs.

If you want to make the best possible choice for your baby's earth growth and development, Philips Avent will be there for you every step of the way.

Bounce Review and Giveaway

My favorite part about laundry is when it's in either the washing machine or the dryer.  Of course I love this stage of laundry because I don't have to fold the clothes yet.  I do enjoy when the clothes come out of the dryer looking and smelling fabulous. Nobody likes folding laundry but delicious smelling laundry makes the folding process that much easier.  I believe that great laundry starts with quality products.

Bounce allows you to enjoy fresh and soft laundry each and every time with their fabric care products. The product line-up includes dryer sheets, dryer bars, lint and freshness rollers, ironing spray, and 15 minute dry cleaner. Growing up my mom always used Bounce dryer sheets on our laundry.  I remember the fantastic scent that permeated the laundry basket when she used to bring in our folded clothes.  The fresh scent stayed with the clothes even when you wore them.  Now that I've been on my own for many years, I routinely buy Bounce. Their quality product and results keep my clothes smelling wonderful and leaving me a satisfied consumer.  

Recently, Bounce has introduced a new product in their laundry family, Bounce Bursts. I was able to try this new product along with classic Bounce dryer sheets.

Bounce Bursts are very easy to use.  When you're ready to do laundry, simply shake a few bursts into the washing machine.  Once you close the lid, the party really starts! After the party is over, you're left with the freshest smelling clothes in history.  I used Bounce Bursts for the first time last night.  I am familiar with in-wash scent boosters and have previously used them.  I was very interested to try Bounce's since the products always provide superb results.  The packaging is very festive and really catches your eye.  The bursts are even orange which is Bounce's signature color.  Once I took my clothes out of the washing machine, I could instantly smell the freshness.  My heart melted and B's formed where my iris's used to be.  My washing machine was very happy too.

For the ultimate in freshness, I transferred my clothes into the dryer and threw in a Bounce dryer sheet to really up the scent factor.  What I love about the dryer sheet box is that you can smell them through the box, that's how powerful they are! Once the clothes were done and dry, I took them out to fold them.  That's when my whole world stopped.  I had never smelled anything that fabulous before! The combination of the Bounce Bursts and the dryer sheet propelled me on a rocket ship right into Planet Laundry.  I'm not sure I'll be coming back! 

I was so happy with how my clothes came out and extremely satisfied with the products.  Both products now sit high and proud on the shelf above my washer and dryer.  If you're looking to revolutionize laundry, I highly recommend Bounce.

Heluva Good Giveaway

Summer brings lots of opportunities for snacking.  Lazy days at the beach, pool parties, and BBQ's are all invitations to indulge in yummy food and treats.  When I think of summer foods, chips and dip are the first snack and appetizer I envision.  If you're planning on having a BBQ or party this summer, why not spice it up and delight your guests taste buds with a fabulous new snack or two? They will certainly appreciate it.

Heluva Good offer sour cream dips and cheese that are the perfect way to add flavor to any occasion. The product-line up includes dips in the flavors of french onion, buffalo wing, bodacious onion, white cheddar and bacon and many more.  If you're more interested in serving cheese and crackers, the cheese flavors waiting to satisfy you are mild cheddar, parmesan, sharp cheddar, taco blend, and italian blend among many others.  You also can't forget about the yogurt dips in tantalizing flavors including french onion, herb ranch, southwestern chipotle, and fire roasted vegetables.  As you can see, there is quite a variety of Heluva Good products waiting to make your tummy happy.  Make Heluva Good a main staple of your party food this summer to guarantee a fantastic get-together.

One of Heluva Good's newest products is the limited edition roasted garlic and caramelized onion dip. You have to be quick if you want to get your hands on this dip! The dip uses only the freshest ingredients and spices and never any oils or water. It combines the rich, sweet flavors of roasted garlic and caramelized onion, blended with the creamy taste of sour cream to create a big bold taste that pleases.  

Go ahead and try me.  One taste and you'll be in love.

If you're thinking of what to serve with the dip, you'll want to think of something that doesn't contain a lot of flavor already.  Leave the flavor to the dip.  How about pretzels, pita bread, wheat crackers, or plain chips? All of these items would be ideal for enjoying a dip that will leave you wanting to lick the container clean! Be prepared for more eating than talking.  Don't worry though, it's completely normal.  :)
