Anti Monkey Butt Powder Review & Giveaway

 OK, so you're laughing hysterically. Admittedly, I was, too. However, "Monkey Butt" is the slang term for the soreness, redness, and itching that affects one's backside as a result of the friction and sweat, and its no laughing matter. I hear its shear misery. Activities that induce this "Monkey Butt" are plentiful and run the gamut from cycling, running, motorcycling and even truck-driving. Fortunately, however, the creators of  Anti Monkey Butt® Powder are dedicated to alleviating this condition and maximizing the performance and comfort of sports enthusiasts and people who work hard all day.

  
What is it & How do you use it? 
Anti Monkey Butt® Powder is specially formulated to absorb sweat and minimize frictional skin discomfort.  Helps to keep you dry and comfortable.  Ideal for butt busting activities such as motorcycling, bicycling, horseback riding, truck driving, hiking, hockey, football, and baseball. Its soothing treatment can aid anyone who has experienced the discomfort and irritation associated with friction of clothing on skin. It may also be used inside footwear, under sports pads, to treat diaper rash and other areas prone to chafing.
So what's this stuff made of?
Anti Monkey Butt® Powder is different from other powders in that it contains Calamine and Talc, which gives it a cooling sensation instead of the burning that you might get from other products. The only other ingredient present in  Anti Monkey Butt® Powder is a light fragrance.
Is it any good?
My nephew Jake, who is 16 months old--got a nasty diaper rash when my SIL tried switching diaper brands. He has a sensitive behind that couldn't tolerate generic diapers. I used Anti Monkey Butt® Powder on him once and immediately noticed an improvement in his skin by the time the next diaper change was due. My brother, Lance, works long hours as a Lawn Specialist. He's a big, brawny kind of guy--and I knew something was bothering him when at the end of one particular work day he was walking a little funny. No words, I just passed him the bottle and he gave me this snarky kind of laugh. Then he read the bottle. And promptly disappeared. I never got that bottle of Anti Monkey Butt® Powder back from him. Trust me, that's as good as my brother "thanking" me profusely--its that good. I also use this a lot this Football season for my twin boys. They are small guys on a starter football team, but lugging the equipment and all that gets to be bothersome. I  highly recommended it to the team Moms.


Where can I score some and how much is it gonna set me back?
 Anti Monkey Butt® Powder is available in mass market retail nationwide, at any of your local supermarkets, pharmacies, and online at www.antimonkeybutt.com . The suggested retail price for one 6 ounce bottle is $5.95 or $29.95 for a six-pack. In honesty, I've seen Anti Monkey Butt® Powder for significantly cheaper at my local Target and Walmart.

 
Indoors or outdoors, work or play, or on occasions when you sit on your butt all day.  Don't let your buns get red. Use Anti Monkey Butt ® Powder instead!

Frecklebox Review & Giveaway

Several months ago, I stumbled upon a great company called Frecklebox, a website that specializes in personalized gifts for kids. Their products are so much fun, personalized for your favorite kids so that they have something that is unique and personalized only for them.
As a child, I longed for pretty personalized pencils, Lunch box, or a glittery keychain of my own. My name, Tanya, (I pronounce it Tonya) was pretty un-common, and there were some variations of the name but the spelling was different. These days, there are some spectacular and unique names for kids--and its quite nice to be able to shop and personalize a wide selection of cool kids stuff. Small children who are treading the waters of  Alphabet Land --light up when they see their name. Its instant recognition and helps validate a sense of identity associated with their name.

 Frecklebox is on a mission to educate and entertain. This web-based business offers truly unique, personalized gifts for children at affordable prices. The site makes it quick and easy to customize each item so it prominently features the name of the child who will receive the gift. The vast, entertaining selection of

personalized books, posters, growth charts, lunch boxes, journal books, coloring books, stickers, placemats, puzzles, folders and other personalized items, are designed to delight your children.

 My 5 kids love their Frecklebox personalized folders and Lunchboxes that I had purchased for them over the summer. All of the items are durable, well constructed, colorful and fun. For the purpose of this review, I allowed the kids to chose a personalized " My Name Is" Hard-bound book for their 3 year-old half-brother, Harrison.

The kids were so excited when it arrived (delivery was super quick). They had almost as much fun reading it through themselves, as we had initially making it on the website. I love that Frecklebox has an interactive website that allows you to see each personalized page, customizing it as you wish before finalizing your purchase.

Make wishes come true.
You can help grant magical wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses by placing your Frecklebox order between November 17th and December 25th. We'll donate 10% of the proceeds to The Make-A-Wish Foundation® and we'll also discount your entire order 10% for helping us contribute to this worthy cause.

Click here for more information about Make-A-Wish.

Enter promo code WISH10 at checkout. You will receive 10% off your entire order, and we will donate 10% of the total order amount to Make-A-Wish. 

Thanks to Mark at Frecklebox, one Multiple Blessings reader will win any personalized item of their choice from the website. So many choices......

Lip Service: SoftLips® Conditioning Lip Balm Review & Giveaway

I'm very grateful to my PR Rep Laura, for allowing me the opportunity to review the new SoftLips® limited edition Winter line and the new SoftLips® Organic Pure line. SoftLips® brand conditioning lip balm has really been my salvation. I discovered it out of desperation several years ago when my husband and I were on a cruise to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I had the misfortune of  falling asleep on a lounge chair on the main deck. It wasn't a terribly hot day, and there was a pleasant, cool breeze, so I thought nothing more of  it.
I woke up several hours later to terribly sun burned and wind chapped lips that were incredibly sensitive. (I never sunburn) I was even more un-happy when I found no relief from 2 or 3 other leading brand name Lip balm products (I'll be polite and refrain from naming names) and was desperate when I came across SoftLips® in the sundries boutique on the ship. So that is where my love affair began because it really works. I used to be a lipstick addict but I love the minimalistic, subtle, soft shimmer and sheen that I get from SoftLips® . I totally love that its a long wearing, smooth glide-on formula and doesn't leave a heavy, waxy , sticky residue on my lips. 

My favorite flavors of the SoftLips® Organic Pure line are the peppermint, chai tee, and acai berry. I personally wasn't too fond of the papaya flavor as the scent didn't appeal to me at all, and I have a very apparent disdain for papaya, but that's just me. I am completely smitten with the limited edition Winter flavors which are; SoftLips® Winter Mint, Sugar Cookie, Sugar & Spice, and Sugar Plum Berry.

What is it it? 

SoftLips® SPF 20 Conditioning Lip Balm is a premium lip balm that effectively combines light flavors, Lip Protectant and SPF protection with a sheer glossing effect.These premium lip conditioners were designed with skin protecting emollients to help keep lips soft, supple and healthy. The products are perfect for natural lips or for adding protection/moisturizing over or under lipstick.They are available in several flavor varieties and offers great coverage and protection from the environmental elements. 
How do you use it?
SoftLips® can be used alone or under/over lipstick as part of one's daily lip care regimenn. It should be applied liberally to the lips as needed, especially if your more prone to the effects of the elements of direct sunlight, wind, or coldness. SoftLips® should be reapplied after eating or drinking and the cap should be replaced immediately after each use.

So what's this stuff made of?
INGREDIENTS:
Active Ingredients:
Dimethicone 2% (Skin protectant), Octinoxate 7. 5% (Sunscreen), Octisalate 3% (Sunscreen), Oxybenzone 3% (Sunscreen).
Inactive Ingredients:
butylated hydroxytoluene, cetyl alcohol, ethylhexyl palmitate, flavor, menthol, myristyl alcohol, myristyl lactate, myristyl laurate, myristyl myristate, ozokerite, squalane, vitamin E, white petrolatum.
 None of the ingredients contains animal by products. These all are vegetable derived or synthetically modified.

-The SoftLips® Pure Organic Line of lip conditioners are free of pesticides, harsh chemicals, parabens and Gluten. They are a balanced blend of organic oils, beeswax and shea butter with Vitamin E.

Where can I score some and how much is it gonna set me back?
The complete line of SoftLips® SPF 20 Conditioning Lip Balms are available in mass retail at any of your local supermarkets, pharmacies or other mass retailers like Target and Walmart. The suggested retail price for one 0.07 ounce stick is $2.79, and its approximately $3.99 for the value pack which contains two SoftLips® sticks.
So is there anything special going on--like a promo or giveaway?
Actually, SoftLips® has a "Picture Perfect Lips Search" going on right now. All you need to do is pucker up and upload your pretty pout and get your friends to vote for you. 

One Grand Prize Winner will be selected by a panel of judges and will win: $2,500 cash, a one-year supply of Softlips^® and the possibility of being represented by a modeling agency in New York City.
One Fan Favorite Winner will be selected through the most votes received online and will win a one-year supply of Softlips®.

Name Your Tune Personalized CD Review & Giveaway

What is it it? 
Name Your Tune is an exciting new children's music compilation CD that is made-to-order and personalized for each child. Children will hear their name more than 80 times throughout 14 much-loved, popular childrens songs. Classic favorites such as "Old MacDonald" and  "The Wheels on The Bus" and the "ABC Medley" are included with the clever and seamless insertion of your child's name or names, played over 80 times throughout the CD. There are currently over 3,900 names available on the personalization list, and if you don't see a particular name--you can fill out a form and submit it for inclusion into their next recording/printing session. Your child/childrens name is printed in large, bold lettering across the CD and can include a special message.  Its a great way for kids to enjoy music, have fun, and learn together!
Did you the kids really like it? 
We received our own CD personalized with my nephews Nick & Jake's names inscribed on it. I was impressed with the quality and packaging of the CD, it wasn't flimsy or cheap looking like those bootleg DVD's that people should never buy. Instead of "Old MacDonald had a farm..." the lyrics clearly say "Little Nick had a farm, E-I-E-I-O..." Nick is older and at an age where he instantly recognizes his name and was tickled to hear both his name and his baby brother referenced in the songs over and over again. The musical recordings are actually quite pleasant on the ears, and though we've played it about 25 times already--I've managed to still hold onto my sanity and enthusiasm as everyone within earshot joins in on the popular choruses.

Is it any good?
The songs on the CD are performed by two female and two male musicians, including Parent Choice Award winning and Juno award nominated children's performer, Lenny Graf, who all together bring a melodious harmony and upbeat tempo to these childrens' favorites. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the personalization as well. I almost half expected a cheap voice over where the names would be unintelligible and the inflection of the voice speaking the names would be out of range when incorporated into the songs. I was wrong. Our CD incorporated the boys names seamlessly and flawlessly and was instantly recognizable.
So what's the bottom line?

Name Your Tune does a great job in captivating and providing a fun way for kids to get to know their favorite childrens classics with a personalized twist. Interestingly enough, Name Your Tune is the brainchild of Canadian Mompreneur, Candace Alper, who started the business out of her basement with the help from her husband Eric, a music distributor, her friends and family. " I really came to it as a Mom" said Alper in an interview reported in The Toronto Star ,"They were the songs that I used to sing with my daughter, because they were the ones I sang when I was a kid."

Where can I find it?
Name Your Tune CDs are $20.00 each, or $18.00 each when you purchase 2 or more at the same time, available only from the website.They will gladly incorporate multiple names on a Name Your Tune CD. There is no extra cost to have more than one name included throughout our songs. To do this, they alternate songs between the names. When you place your order, simply put the names in the space indicated. The website also has a large selection of other personalized children's products at fairly reasonable prices like; personalized books, paintings, art, placemats and blankets, big belly banks, personalized handcrafted wood toy products, etc.

*Exclusive Discount Code for Multiple Blessings readers*

Use the code blessings to receive $5 off of your order of a personalized Name Your Tune CD. No expiration!

Hear Here 

A portion from the sales of Name Your Tune CDs is donated to Hear Here, a non-profit charitable foundation that purchases hearing aids for children. Hear Here is administered through The Hospital For Sick Children. 

Thanks to Eric from Name Your Tune , One Multiple Blessings reader will receive a personalized Name Your Tune CD.

Let's Have A Ball and Make Every Hour Happy Hour: HuePhoria Glassware Review & Giveaway

Here's a confession: I have to admit that I do partake and imbibe in the almost daily glass of red wine ( just one glass for me because I don't hold alcohol very well.) I'm Italian, so its actually quite common place and it does relax me and Red Wine is good for the soul heart. We entertain at least 3 other couples each week and the wine flows through the evening. I liked to think that I had rather nice stemware, with several of those little wine charms that fall apart or snag on my table linens. One day I came across the HuePhoria website and was immediately charmed.  
HuePhoria specializes in artfully unique, high quality, hand painted, hand blown glassware that is the definition of hip and chic. HuePhoria's wine and martini glasses are all dishwasher safe  (gasp! yes its true!)

HuePhoria also has a great selection of handpainted glass salt and pepper shakers and handpainted Christmas ball ornaments.

Putting The Sizzle Back In The Kitchen: Flirty Aprons Review & Giveway

I'm no Rachel Ray, but I enjoy my time in the kitchen and I honestly love to cook. I enjoy it now because I know that my family truly enjoys my cooking. Rewind to 14 years ago and I was like a wet noodle of a mess, my then (first) husband would impishly bounce my biscuits off of the wall, and they'd ruin the sheet rock. Well, we've come a long way baby--and so has the evolution of the chic apron. Let's face it, aprons used to be ugly, and we'd never wear them. And if we did, this is the image we'd have in our heads--remember  these? ▬▬▬►▬▬▬►▬▬▬►▬▬▬►▬▬▬►▬▬▬►
Well, maybe she looks a bit too happy and contrived. Aprons have long been a forward-looking trend in upscale domesticity and down-to-earth values, while at the same time, hearken us back to the romantic aesthetics of 1940s, 1950s and 1960s women. The romantic ideology of the apron reflected a time when life was simpler, families were closer, time was generous, and simple pleasures were not taken for granted. Fast-forwarding to today's overwhelming culture of job demands, travel schedules, and hurried children, quality time spent with loved ones is more important than ever. We love to cook and entertain when blessed with spare moments, and the basic addition of  something wonderful, colorful, simple or extraordinary can make those moments even more meaningful.Who knew that perfecting upon Grandma's famous Bread pudding could be a Kodak moment? Well, if  someone wants to whip out a camera, I'm all for it---at least let me be cute!

When Jamie over at Flirty Aprons allowed me to choose a Flirty Apron style of my choice for this review, I was pretty stoked. I was thinking that aprons were appropiately functional, and I really needed a good, sturdy one that would survive the holiday spatters and spills. I never expected fabulous. First thought as I browsed the Flirty Aprons Website: Wow, aprons that I actually want to wear? I became enthralled by each unique twist and touch, embellishment and hint of whimsy displayed in Flirty Aprons massive apron collection. It was a difficult decision, but I eventually chose the Original Chick Pink Apron, because I am a girly girl. I received the apron in the mail in the same week that I placed the order, like seriously, 2 days time frame. Amazing. Turns out that I really like the Original Chick Pink Apron, I wear it all the time. The first night I used it, Hubs thought I looked great -for him the effect was equivelant to lingerie in the kitchen.While that really wasn't my intent, I admit that I felt great, was able to protect my clothing, able to stuff things in the roomy pockets (I am a serial pocket stuffer--so that's important) and lingered a bit longer in the kitchen. What was I doing? The kids and I baked some cookies, which happen to be Hubs favorite kind. Nevertheless, he feigned shock like it was his birthday.
I have a feeling that Flirty Aprons are about to become the "collectible of collectibles"!! Included here are a broad variety of styles, fabrics, colors and influences, suitable for all ages, shapes, tastes and life styles! I love that they are stylish, fashionable, one size fits-all with extra long ties and scooped sides, and washes well! (I've washed it twice already, thanks to a sauce mishap) and the color didn't fade and the threads are all intact. Tough stuff. I would absolutely ❤ it if Flirty Aprons would expand on the product line to include fabric coordinating housecleaning type gloves and kitchen hand towels. Then we'd have cute, all around!

These aprons are adjustable and fit great. If they had more of a backside, I'd wear it as a dress, serious. They are that cute.

Flirty Aprons   has large assortment of chic inspired aprons for women, children (the cutest Mommy & Me styles) and several cool "manly" looking aprons for the guys ("My grill is hotter than yours! ")  They'd make great hostess gifts or anytime gifts for any fun, fearless foodie in your life.

Thanks to Flirty Aprons, one Multiple Blessings reader will receive a Flirty Apron of their choice.
