Bible bb's Save The Animals Women's Tee Shirt Review and Giveaway #biblebbs


Bible's bb's® is for families who want to celebrate their faith in a fresh new way. They have a line of shirts for the whole family and books for kids featuring their cute little Bible Hero cartoon figures.


Save The Animals Women's Tee is a t-shirt that has the design of Noah's Ark with the animals inside in adorable cartoon graphics. This is printed on a light blue slim fit jersey tee. This shirt also has a kids’ match for a Mommy and Me option!

Here are the specifications:
  • 2 oz 100% combed ringspun cotton fine jersey
  • Topstitched ribbed collar
  • Relaxed draped fit
  • Side slit with high-low rounded hem
  • Machine Washable/Tumble Dry Low

I requested and received the medium size because in my experience 100% cotton shrinks a bit in the wash and I like a slightly loose fit anyway. This t-shirt is super cute! I love the message. I think that this message still resonates because there are so many animals that are: threatened, vulnerable, or are on the endangered species list that need saving before they go extinct.

This women's top has the scripture reference to Genesis 7:3. If you look this scripture up it reads: "Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth." I am not quite sure why they picked that scripture and not Genesis 7:2-3 for the shirt. 7:2 reads: "Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female." These two scriptures together would have been better for shirt's design, in my opinion.

Me wearing the Bible bb's Save The Animals Women's Tee shirt.

Also, my t-shirt looks like it has a printing mistake on it. It has three small dots on the outer edge of the design that look very out of place and don't appear on the online picture of the tee.

I do like the softness and comfort of the t-shirt material and the length is great. Cotton has always been a preference because of how soft and breathable it is. It is a longer shirt, so it would be perfect with leggings and skinny jeans.

Coobie Seamless Bra Review and Coobie Bra Giveaway


US Family Guide provided me with this opportunity and I received this product free from The Coobie Store to facilitate this review.

Coobie Seamless Bras are really the most comfortable and supportive bras I have ever tried. I received a Coobie V-neck Lace Trim Bra in Red Velvet. I am so glad I got to try these bras because I absolutely love them! I am definitely going to buy more. They have sold me on their products. I was skeptical at first about how a one size that comfortably fits sizes 32A to 36D would actually fit me. I am very petite. These bras fit me really well with no sagging or bunching in weird places. I have tried both scoopneck and v-neck with lace trim styles, but my favorite is the lacy one because I love the lovely feminine touch.

These are also very flattering, form fitting, and affordable. Great for maternity, nursing and beyond as the soft, high quality nylon/spandex outer fabric gently stretches, breathes well and isn't at all see through. You can easily breastfeed in these because you can unhook the strap and pull the bra down. Also great for everyday wear, sleep wear, workout wear, yoga, and Pilates. Available in both neutrals, fun colors, and patterns (7+ styles and 50+ fashion colors and patterns)! The back is smooth and seamless with no hooks or clasps. Each bra has removable pads and the straps are adjustable. You can even call them for extra pads or straps. These bras are also available in a full size version fitting up to a size 42D.

The Coobie Store Undie Couture Classic Lace Bralette Review and Giveaway


US Family Guide provided me with this opportunity and I received this product free from The Coobie Store to facilitate this review.

The Coobie Store is a great place online to find great bras, bralettes, sports bandeaus, camisoles, panties, leggings, and more! I absolutely love their Coobie Seamless Bras which I have tried and recommend highly. Since I had not tried the lace bralettes I decided to this time instead of one of the seamless bras.

Undie Couture Classic Lace Bralette is very feminine. It is made with a stretchy lace that is super soft. The cups are lined with a soft, thin nylon blend. There are no pads or wires. The straps are adjustable and include a mid strap hook on the back so that you can wear it in a racerback style. Available in 3 sizes: Small (28A-32D), Medium (32A-34D), Large (36A-38D). This style comes in 10 colors: Black, White, Nude, Charcoal, Ivory, Hot Pink, Driftwood, Plum, Red & Rose. Fabric Content: 93% Nylon, 7% Spandex.



My Thoughts:
I received an Undie Couture Classic Lace Bralette in ivory in medium. This lace bra is not scratchy at all and is super comfortable and buttery soft. I love how pretty and sexy this bralette is. I am very petite so I did not know whether the medium would fit or be too big for me. This bralette fit me really well with no sagging or bunching in weird places. It was also very form fitting and flattering. This bralette, however; does have seams so I did notice they show under a shirt. Ivory is a great color because it isn't too showy under a top.

I am so glad I got to try this bralette because I absolutely love it! I am definitely going to buy more and I so love the plum colored one too! The Coobie Store has sold me on the products I have tried so far. I highly recommend them!

Tatutina Big Sister T-Shirt Review



Tatutina is a wonderful online store with unique products that are all very colorful and happy. A lot of their products are hand painted/screened and all of them that are, use paint that is certified non-toxic and lead free. They have such a fun and funky way of creating their designs! I fell in love with the colors and bright patterns of all their products. They have clothing, gifts, jewelry, and art.



We received the Big Sister T-Shirt to review for free. This is an adorable shirt that has bright pink, orange and yellow butterflies graphics on a lavender background. It is hand screened and has the words Big Sister on it as well as the butterfly designs. Made from soft 100% cotton that is machine washable and dryer safe. It is available in three sizes: 2, 4, and 5/6.



Teela is my oldest daughter. She is 8 and is a big sister to my youngest daughter, Zari who is almost 6. I received the largest size shirt and was pleased to find that the Big Sister T-Shirt runs a little big which is good because my 8 year old can still wear it. Teela is slender so keep that also in mind. This shirt is so cute! I love the bright designs and the butterflies! Such a great way to show sisterhood!

Coobie Seamless Bra and Violet Love Headband Review

Coobie Seamless Bra and Violet Love Headband
US Family Guide provided me with this opportunity and I received this product free from The Coobie Store to facilitate this review.

Coobie Seamless Bras are really the most comfortable and supportive bras I have ever tried. I received a Coobie V-neck Lace Trim Bra in Hot Pink. I am so glad I got to try them because I absolutely love them! I am definitely going to buy more. They have sold me on their products. I was skeptical at first about how a one size that comfortably fits sizes 32A to 36D would actually fit me. I am very petite. These bras fit me really well with no sagging or bunching in weird places. I have tried both scoopneck and v-neck with lace trim styles, but my favorite is the lacy one because I love the lovely feminine touch.

Each bra has removable pads and the straps are adjustable. You can even call them for extra pads or straps. These bras are also available in a full size version fitting up to a size 42D.

Violet Love Headbands are no-slip no-headache headbands that are perfect to wear for yoga, pilates, or just as a stylish accessory. They are made from Premium quality fabrics that are buttery soft and super comfy. They come in a variety of colors and patterns that you can choose from. They even come in winter wear which have a layer of vegan and Peta approved fleece like material on the underside to keep your head and ears warm on the slopes or during cold winter outings. Not only do the original headbands come in women's sizes, colors, and patterns; but they also come in children's and men's is coming soon as well. Violet Love also sells pretty scarves and bandeaus. These are made in the USA in LA.

The Violet Love headband that I received is very comfortable, soft, and stylish. The fabric stretches to fit very well. Mine came in the Pohaku patterned fabric. This headband is part of their Signature Couture Prints Collection. I love that they picked this fabric for me because it is so my style. It has blues, purples, and greens with a black, white, and grey ethnic pattern. It looks a bit dreamlike. I love to wear it while I am doing Yoga or aerobic exercise because it keeps the sweat out of my eyes. Its lovely headband keeps me looking trendy and fashionable in the gym.

Crystal Wash Review


I received this product free from Crystal Wash to facilitate this review.

Having to do laundry is one of those inevitable things for all of us. Most of us dread doing it because we believe it is a chore. At least we can say washing clothing and linens has gotten easier over the years. Instead of wash boards we have washing machines and most of us buy our laundry detergent or soap at the store instead of making it ourselves. Society has made things progressively easier for us. But what is the price we pay for the luxury of store bought laundry detergent?

There are a lot of laundry detergents on store shelves that claim this, that, and the other. Most of these have things in them that I wouldn't want touching my skin. My son is highly allergic to detergents with perfume and dye, so I end up getting the stuff that is for sensitive skin and says hypoallergenic on it. Lately, though, I have been looking into maybe making my own laundry soap at home with ingredients I am familiar with or seeing what other products are out there that might be better to use than the traditional detergents that you can find at just about any big box grocery store. I am not into harsh chemicals that might very well be toxic to my family and I...not to mention the Earth! I would rather use something that has ingredients that are safe, efficient, and effective.

I saw a laundry ball called Crystal Wash online and by the description these laundry balls seemed at first glance a great way to do laundry. Crystal Wash comes with two laundry balls that you use simultaneously in the wash together. I have never used laundry balls/washing balls in the past, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I love products that are natural, eco-friendly, and non-toxic and Crystal Wash said they were all of the above. This seemed valid enough, but Crystal Wash has other claims as well that seem to be not backed by actual science. Crystal Wash's claims are very intriguing and appealing, but I am not just sold by claims. I needed to try the product out for myself to see if they work.

If you look up Crystal Wash online you will find a lot of naysayers that say the product doesn't work, is a lot of hooey and quackery, and is backed by pseudoscience. Most of these people haven't tried this product for themselves and don't care to. I, however; like to give products that are supposedly better for you and/or the environment the benefit of the doubt, unless I know otherwise, and test them out for myself before I say they don't work at all.

This is what they say on their website: "These special Bio Ceramics were developed using various minerals with very effective antibacterial and anti-oxidant properties.

The pH level of laundry water impacts the wash greatly. If the water is overly acidic or alkaline it can damage delicate clothes and fabrics, cause colors to fade and cause clothing to still seem dirty even after washing. Most detergents on the market are a pH level of 6.5 – 9, but they use chemicals to achieve these levels."

Crystal Wash claims the bio ceramics in their product...
  • produces far infrared rays that effectively reduce negative ions in the water of your laundry machine, which raises pH level to 8.5 or greater
  • shrinks the water molecule clusters to a size that allows dirt and soil to be soaked free naturally
  • create Hydrogen Peroxide (which yes, is a chemical...just one that you can put on your skin) which disinfects the clothes, kills bacteria and odor
  • needs to be recharged in the sun for one afternoon every 30 days (or every 30 loads)
I am still very skeptical about their bio ceramics claims. I do not see actual science to back these things.

What Crystal Wash claims their laundry balls do and my families thoughts:
  • Save You Money: Crystal Wash is supposed to last for up to 1000 loads of laundry. Crystal Wash is $50 per 1000 loads, verses around $300 per 1000 loads for store bought detergents. So, if you swapped Crystal Wash for store bought detergent you would indeed save money.
  • Make Laundry Cleaner: It also says it will get your laundry cleaner. I am not sure about the science behind Crystal Wash's bio ceramics and its validity, but my husband who understands more chemistry and physics than me says that these claims are a bunch of big words thrown together to make it sound cool. He says these are nonsensical.
  • Make Doing Laundry Easier: So, how does Crystal Wash make doing laundry easier? You don't have to go to the store to buy detergent or lug those heavy bottles or boxes of detergent home with you. You don't have to deal with messy detergents at all. No more spilling or having to measure out the correct, exact amount.
  • Are More Natural and Better for the Environment: Crystal Wash's laundry balls do not use detergents, (toxic/harsh) chemicals, dyes, or perfumes. They are gentle on sensitive skin and fabric. By using Crystal Wash you are reducing contaminated waste water filtered back into the water supply, saving water by lowering required rinse cycles, and effectively reducing CO2 production by requiring less energy than a traditional detergent based wash. Although you would also be doing this by using just water to do your wash...or water with a bit of homemade soap.
What I do know that works for cleaner laundry and why:
  • More agitation during the wash means your laundry is getting cleaner. The big dirty secret among detergent makers is that we don't actually "need" them to get our clothes clean. The agitation is what gets the laundry clean not the soap!
  • Hot water gets most stains and dirt out better and kills germs. It says to use warm-hot water with these laundry balls. If you are not already using hot water you should know that along with killing germs it also gets most stains out more effectively...even without laundry balls like Crystal Wash.
My observations and tests...
I did a side by side comparison with a load with just my laundry detergent, a load with the Crystal Wash, and a load with just water. It was very hard to see a difference when washing with these verses with my hypoallergenic sans free detergent or just with water. I do not wash my laundry in perfumed detergent or detergent with dyes because my son is allergic, anyway, so there usually isn't anything to cover up odor and my front loading washing machine does just fine.

Crystal Wash Crowdfunding Campaign:
Crystal Wash has a crowdfunding campaign to fund their Crystal Wash 2.0. This lets you get connected with your laundry. Their new Crystal Wash 2.0 will give you recharge notices, real-time wash pH levels, wash complete alerts, wash cycle tracking stats (graphs, counters, social sharing), savings tracking, Crystal Wash (wash cycle counter – time to order new Crystal Wash), stain guide, and a label decoder all in one handy app that is integrated with the Crystal Wash ball for easier washing.

Coobie Seamless Bras Review

US Family Guide provided me with this opportunity and we received this product free from The Coobie Store to facilitate this review.

I just bought a bra since it was on sale and it was name brand. I didn't bother trying it on because it was so cheap and in my size. I got it home and put it on the next day. I had to take it off right away. It was so uncomfortable, it dug into my skin, and had parts on it that scraped me as I moved. Thankfully I had some Coobie Seamless Bras that I just got to try and review. I put one of those on instead. Oh my gosh! What a difference!

Coobie Seamless Bras

Coobie Seamless Bras are really the most comfortable and supportive bras I have ever tried. I am so glad I got to try them because I absolutely love them! I am definitely going to buy more. They have sold me on their products. I received a Coobie Scoopneck Bra in black and a Coobie V-neck Lace Trim Bra in periwinkle. I was skeptical about how a one size that comfortably fits sizes 32A to 36D would actually fit me. I am very petite. These bras fit me really well with no sagging or bunching in weird places. I love both the scoopneck and v-neck with lace trim styles, but my favorite is the lacy one because I love the lovely feminine touch.

These are also very flattering, form fitting, and affordable. Great for maternity, nursing and beyond as the soft, high quality nylon/spandex outer fabric gently stretches, breathes well and isn't at all see through. You can easily breastfeed in these because you can unhook the strap and pull the bra down. Also great for everyday wear, sleep wear, workout wear, yoga, and Pilates. Available in both neutrals, fun colors and now patterns (7+ styles and 50+ fashion colors and patterns)! The back is smooth and seamless with no hooks or clasps. Each bra has removable pads and the straps are adjustable. You can even call them for extra pads or straps. These bras are also available in a full size version fitting up to a size 42D.

For the entire month of May Coobie is donating 10% of ALL pink bra sales made at www.shopcoobie.com to the National Breast Cancer Foundation! Shop for a cure! Coobie Seamless Bras also has a large following of mastectomy patients that love the soft comfort and pad pocket to insert a form. This line is truly a wonderful fit for all women!

The Windfall Tree and Purple Passion Fingerless Gloves Review

The Windfall Tree on Etsy is owned by Kristy Gordanier. She loves knitting, crocheting, painting, drawing, crafting and sewing. She chose her shop name The Windfall Tree because of it's meaning. Windfall means 'good fortune' or 'unexpected gain'. In her Etsy shop she has listed: Washcloths, Coasters, Security Loveys, Lunch Bags, Sandwich Bags, Plush Amigurumi, Purses / Bags, Baby Items (Burp Cloths, Bibs), Wearable Accessories (Wrist Cozies, Hats, Cowl Neck Warmers, Scarves, Fingerless Gloves), and Keyfobs. All are made in the USA local to me in Oregon and great Valentine's Day Gifts!

Kristy is very talented! I fell in love with a set of Purple Passion fingerless gloves in her store and asked her if I could review them in my Valentine's Amore Gift Guide. These are made with a gorgeous plum colored super soft Angora yarn with rose pink Fun Fur edging. These are beautifully hand-crocheted by Kristy. I love them! They are so great for when it is nippy outside, but you want to have your fingers free to do whatever. I love taking them when I go for walks outdoors in the brisk morning air. They are very warm and exceptionally soft. They are the perfect Valentine's Day gift and she has more fingerless gloves listed in her shop right now along with all the other nice handmade items.

DISCLOSURE/DISCLAIMER: Thanks to Kristy and her shop The Windfall Tree for sending me the Purple Passion Fingerless Gloves for free to review. My thoughts are mine and my family's own opinion and have not been altered by anyone else. I did not receive any other compensation for doing this review.

Novica $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway

NOVICA helps change the lives of artisans in developing nations, while offering us extraordinary handmade gifts, jewelry, apparel, and home decor. There are so many talented artists and artisans around the world. NOVICA provides these unique, hard-to-find items on their internet website at great prices. These services are all fair trade, meaning that they don't charge the artists and artisans any listing fees and the artists and artisans remain fully independent. They are free to raise their prices, lower their prices, or remove their items from their website whenever they please. This website is great to buy something from for your sweetheart for Valentine's Day, just remember since these items are coming all the way from the country they are made in, the shipping might take longer than expected.

They have some very great gifts, including: Unique Corporate Gifts, Silk Shawls, Pendants bracelets, and Women's wraps and sarongs.

I love the NOVICA platform. They have a story of the specific artist and artisan on the item's page for every item they create. They cover the Andes, Bali and Java, Brazil, Central America, India, Mexico, Thailand, and West Africa regions. I love learning about the artist or artisan that has made the items when I purchase from there. You can search for what you want to look for in their search and narrow it down even more from there. You can also search from low to high price or high to low price. They also have these categories that you can search under as special features right now: Valentine's Day Gifts, Gift Finder, Eco-Friendly Gifts, Gifts for Mom, Gifts for Dad, Corporate Gifts, Spiritual & Inspirational Gifts, Fast Shipping Gifts, Collectibles, Featured Sale, and Gift Animals.

I also love their new home party division, NOVICA LIVE. If you join as a consultant you will be getting in early and making good money in direct sales supporting artisans worldwide. NOVICA LIVE is expanding across the country right now and signing up new consultants every week. The starter kits are only $199 and have over $400 worth of samples and $150 in business materials. They have a lot of promotions going on for their early consultants, including earning a trip to recreate Eat, Pray, Love with their co-founder Armenia in Bali (she was featured in Liz Gilbert's book)! Also, they have a generous commission plan so you can make money while working just a few hours per week. If you sign up to host a party or be a new consultant please put in my blog url on the Contact Us page under the drop down text input box where the question says, "How did you hear about NOVICA Live", after you select "from a blogger" or "from a website". This way they can offer me credit for referring you.

I received a free $50 Gift Certificate from NOVICA so that I can review some items later on my blog once they arrive from Thailand. I picked some gorgeous Natural orchid dangle earrings called 'Twilight' made by artisan Danai and a beautiful Lapis lazuli and smoky quartz brooch with 'Phuket Flowers' made by Nareerat.

Holiday Gift Guide 2011 CrazyDog Tshirts Periodic Element of Bacon Shirt Review

CrazyDog Tshirts has some great Tshirt Designs that have crazy sayings, humorous quotes and clever designs. I picked out one for my husband that I thought fit his personality well. The t-shirt is called the Periodic Element of Bacon Shirt and it reads Ba with smaller Bacon underneath and an atomic number of 121. I thought that this was awesome because of my husband's love of bacon, science, and his initials just happen to be B.A. :) He absolutely loved his gift from me. You can find this shirt in the Funny T-shirts section of the CrazyDog Tshirts website. The t-shirt is made from 100% cotton and feels soft to the touch.

These t-shirts would be great stocking stuffers or gifts to go under the Christmas tree this year. CrazyDog Tshirts has so many different ones to choose from. I am sure someone on your shopping list would be very happy with a great t-shirt from them.

BUY IT:
The Periodic Element of Bacon Shirt I received free for this review you can buy for $14.99 on the CrazyDog Tshirts website. You can also find other t-shirts from 6.99-$26.00.

Holiday Gift Guide 2011 NachoMama Tees Porpoise Shirt Review and $15 Gift Card Giveaway

I love witty sayings and NachoMama Tees has some great ones on Cool t-shirts that you can wear. I love the one I picked out that says, "This shirt has a Porpoise" because I am a dolphin, whale, and porpoise fan. I have a whole bookshelf in my home dedicated to them. When I was younger I used to live in Alaska and I would collect clippings out of the newspaper about them and I met my husband online in a dolphin discussion forum called POD (Place Of Dolphins). You can find the Porpouse t-shirt in the Funny t-shirt section of the NachoMama Tee website. The t-shirt is made from soft 100% cotton and is super comfortable. I got a size small for myself because I am petite and it was a very nice fit. I love the beautiful royal blue color that this t-shirt is.
