At Crafts from the Heart you will find some gorgeous hair accessories! From simple to fanciful...there are lots of choices. 

The owner, Jennifer, graciously sent me a package full of accessories for Marlee's 4th Birthday Bash. Included were a few simple and cute shabby clips, a pretty bow shaped purple rosette clip, a couple different styles of flower clips and a stunning flower headband. Marlee's favorite style of accessory is flowers. She loves to wear flowers in her hair! Her favorite of all is definitely the pink peony flower clip.

Merlot Skin Care~ Body Butter & Lip Moisturizer (Review)

There is nothing better than natural skin care products. Merlot offers a wide variety of skin care products, all with natural ingredients.

I received a couple Merlot products to review. They sent me their Lip Moisturizer and their Body Butter. These are two products that I use on a daily basis because I have extremely dry skin due to my hard water and the cold weather. 

My favorite of the two is definitely the butter. I love the natural fragrance and the long lasting moisture. I look forward to rubbing this on my tummy, arms and legs after every shower. It's a delightful treat for my skin. It is a thick, light purple creamy butter in a container so you can take as much or as little as you need and if you take out too much, you can put some back.

Body Butter features:

~Anti-aging

~Intensively hudrating

~24 hour moisture

~Promotes healthy skin

Lip balm is a necessity in my house. During the winter months my girls and I have super sensitive lips and if lip balm is not used daily, we get horribly chapped lips that get really red and uncomfortable. It is important  to use a lip balm that actually works to prevent this. I love the fragrance free Merlot Lip moisturizer!

Lip Moisturizer features:

~Protects lips with SPF 15 

~Conditions lips with natural grape seed oil

~Utilizes natural antioxidants

~Fragrance free

Both of these products are wonderful and I would definitely recommend them!

**PURCHASE**

Merlot products can be purchased at Merlot.com. Currently, the lip balms are 3 for $1 and the 8oz Body Butter is only $10. You can't beat those prices for such great products! (These prices are specials and won't last forever, so take advantage!)

Babee Covee *Review and #Giveaway* US 2/26

Having a newborn in the winter means major bundling and protection from the cold. I was delighted to receive a product called the Babee Covee which actually have 6 different uses. 

6 uses for the Babee Covee:

• Car seat "tent"
• Nursing cover
• Shopping cart cover
• Highchair cover
• Stroller blanket
• Playtime blanket

 I love how versatile this product is. I use as a car seat cover to cover up my precious new baby every time we go out. With all my other babies, I used a crib sized blanket and draped it over the car seat. The blanket would get blown and sometimes even fall off at the worst times. Since the Babee Covee is pretty thick and stays put on the car seat even in windy conditions. The Babee Covee has tie straps that tie to the car seat handle (one tie strap on each side)...this helps keep the cover in place.

When I take my second littlest daughter on a shopping trip, I take it along and use it as a shopping cart cover. It covers the whole area where baby touches and protects them from picking up germs. The cover is machine washable.

I have used this a couple times as a nursing cover when I left my regular nursing cover at home. It is very simple and easy to use...you slip the cover over your head and waa-laa, you have yourself a nursing cover! It provides great coverage. It has a generous opening that allows ventilation and allows you to see your baby while nursing.

The Babee Covee is about the size of a crib blanket and is the perfect size to use as a regular blanket. The opening has a strong velcro closure.  It is very cuddly and great as a baby blanket and cover.

They are very well made and come in the cutest prints/fabrics. Lots of choices for girls and boys! Another plus, they are reversible~giving you the option to switch it up every now and then.

**PURCHASE**

The  Babee Covee makes the perfect baby shower gift! Since it has so many uses, it can be used for many years to come! They sell for $39- $49. Visit Babee Covee to purchase!

Momzelle: *I Make Milk* Nursing Tee (Review & $50 GC Giveaway) 2/24

If you are a breastfeeding mom, you know that it is not easy finding a top that makes breastfeeding easy in public. My typical breastfeeding top is a stretchy spaghetti strap tank, but during the winter months, that is not what I want to be wearing!

Luckily, I found an amazing clothing line, Momzelle, brought to you by a Canadian mother. A few days after her baby was born, she designed a shirt that she was comfortable breastfeeding in. This led to the creation of Momzelle nursing apparel.

Momzelle has a very classy, yet comfortable clothing line perfect for the working mama or even the stay at home mama (like me!).

I was blessed with a black t-shirt with the cute saying *I Make Milk. What's Your Superpower?* design on the front for a review. I couldn't wait to wear this shirt and hear what all my friends had to say about it. I am a proud breastfeeding mama and I thought this would be a cool way to show that off.

This t-shirt features a slit below the bottom of the breasts that you pull up and there is an opening right where the breast is. This makes it SUPER easy to get access to your nursing bra and provides maximum coverage. At first, I was a bit worried that when I raised my arms, the opening would show. There is no need to worry...this doesn't happen at all. The top is very comfortable and is a thick cotton/spandex blend. Another feature to love is the length. This tee is longer than your average tee, which is especially awesome for covering that postpartum tummy.

I absolutely love the top I received for review. The Momzelle clothing is a little more expensive than what I can afford at the time, but I know if I had a bigger budget, I would be shopping at Momzelle! They offer breastfeeding tanks, long sleeves, dresses and also maternity clothing.

**PURCHASE**

The top I reviewed can be purchased for $34 and is also available in bubblegum color. Their sizing is from XS to XL. Visit Momzelle to purchase!

One super lucky reader is going to win a $50 electronic gift card to Momzelle!

Marlee's 4th Birthday Bash: Birthday Express Party Pack *Review*

If you are planning a party, I can tell you from experience Birthday Express is the place to shop! I was sent a Wild Horse theme party pack for review, and I was more than impressed with the quality (and quantity) of the party supplies that I received.

I received the $40 package which includes...

8 of each of these:

• Invitations
• Dinner plates
• Cups
• Forks
• Bamboo activity placemats

AND 

• 16 Napkins
• 1 Wild Horses Tablecloth
• 3 Horse centerpieces
• 1 Foil Balloon
• 18 Balloons (3 colors)
• Crepe paper rolls (3 colors)
• Curling Ribbon (3 colors)
• Confetti
• Candles

Everything listed above was included in the $40 package! I must admit, it took forever to pick out the package because there are just so many options! From Strawberry Shortcake to Tinkerbell and Minnie Mouse to zebra print...the possibilities are endless! Whatever your princess (or prince) desires can be found at Birthday Express!

My oldest daughter and I picked out the horse theme party pack because Marlee loves horses. Everything came nicely packaged and it was a complete party pack. Everything I needed except the cake and party favors. Marlee was so excited when the party pack arrived. All of the plates, cups, utensils are thick and high quality. No floppy plates or flimsy cups at Birthday Express! There was more than enough decor provided as well.

Here are some of the decorations and there is my little birthday girl.

Birthday Express offers smaller and larger party packs than the one I received. Their prices range from $16 to $209. The largest party packs have absolutely everything you need for a party, even the pinata!

**PURCHASE**

Visit Birthday Express when planning your next party! You will not be disappointed!
