Sparkle Gem Newborn Beanie Hospital Hat with Rhinestone Bow by Gellwhu

I can't express enough, how much I love newborn and baby items.  So many baby items are so cute and adorable, that it becomes addicting when shopping for newborns!  All the colors and styles, just make you want to say, "awww!"

So many of these little baby items look so much like adult pieces, but in a miniature version.  This little number is the Sparkle Gem Newborn Beanie Hospital Hat with Bow.  The name itself, 'Sparkle', is definitely a girl thang (don't mind my Southern slang for, thing!)  It's cute, sparkly and full of girly fashion for the newborn Diva!

This hat is perfect for the newborn baby girl coming home from the hospital. Top this hat off with a cute pink onesie during the summer time or a pant set during the winter, and your little diva is ready to announce her arrival to everyone!

The Sparkle Gem Newborn Beanie Hospital Hat with Rhinestone Bow is very very soft.  It's made with authentic grade hospital fabric and comes packaged and shipped in it's own individual Gellwhu plastic bag.  The hat comes in several colors; Blue, White, White with pink bow and 5 piece package, where you choose your five (5) colors.  Each hat is only $7.99, very very reasonable price for a unique and adorable Sparkle Gem hat.  

But...if you purchase the 5 piece and choose the five colors you want, the whole set will only cost you $17.99! That's only $3.60 per hat!  Purchasing this hat in a bundle will not only save you money, but will also give your little one a different hat to wear every day (or you could just give them out as gifts!)

This hat is to be hand washed only, DO NOT machine wash.  You do not want the rhinestone button to come loose or get damaged in the wash and by hand-washing, you will keep the hat lasting longer.

Men's Chino Shorts by Match Garments

Summer is right upon us, but even with Spring, warm weather is already here. It's time to break out the shorts, not only for women, for men as well.  Shorts is one of those garments that can be seen worn by everyone, as soon as the weather permits and they come in many styles, designs and colors.

Just because I write a lot about women and baby fashion, doesn't mean I have to leave you guys out!  Father's Day is soon approaching and what better way to prepare for that special day, than by shopping for that special guy!

The shorts shown here, are by Match Garments.  Match Garments is an Amazon store that sells men's shorts, as well as other pieces for men.  They have shorts in all styles, lengths and sizes as well as men's shirts, pants and more.

These particular chino shorts come in 23 different colors and designs (patterns.) These are regular fit, but if you are looking for something not-so-slim, check out their other men's shorts.  The shorts come in sizes US 28 to US 36 (these are Asian sizes, so be sure to check out the US sizes.)  Colors range from Yellow, Black, Gray, plaid and white.  They are 100% cotton, straight leg and sits at waist.  

They have a zipper fly, button closure and belt loops.  The back pockets are flat, so there are no flaps to get in the way when sliding your wallet inside your pocket.  These are perfect for:
     

• Summer
• Spring
• Fall
• Father's Day
• Christmas
• Gift

These are the types of shorts that my husband loves.  No flap pockets that curl up after many washes and wears, simple yet great looking and very comfortable.  These shorts are made very well, they're not your cheap looking shorts and they seem to be true to color.  I chose the Indigo Blue, which will go well with just about any color shirt my husband chooses to wear.

Don't forget, Father's Day and right around the corner.  This would be the perfect time to check out what Match Garments has.  These shorts are priced very reasonable, probably cheaper that what you would find in a department store.  They may be priced cheap, but the quality does not reflect that and these shorts are far from cheap looking.

What does your special guy want for Father's Day?

Women's Egyptian Cotton Comfort Sleep T-Shirt - 100% Egyptian Cotton

I recently done wrote about a very soft, durable cotton t-shirt by Egyptian Cotton T Shirts.  Now, another 100% Egyptian cotton shirt has surfaced, that I find very comfortable as well, just like the cotton t-shirt.

This shirt is made for sleeping.  It feels every bit as soft and durable as the regular t-shirt I previously tried, but is longer and a bit larger.  Both shirts I received were large, but the sleeping comfort t shirt is made a lot larger, enough room to move around in, while sleeping or just lounging around.

This sleeping shirt comes in several colors.  I received the Blush (light pale pink.)  It has a v-neck and consist of 100% Egyptian cotton.  It too, is also tagless, another big plus in my book, as I can't stand tags in my shirts...they just seem to irritate me and thanks to Egyptian Cotton Tshirts, I don't have to worry about cutting or ripping out the tag.  I'm thrilled that Egyptian Cotton Tshirts took the time to omit these tags, for comfort.

The sleeping t-shirt feels really soft and smooth and stays smooth through many washings, without any piling.  The shirt comes pre-shrunk and has a very durable and nice quality feel.  The fine spun yarn, that is used in this shirt, makes the fabric dense, but not too heavy.  

You can purchase your Egyptian Women's Cotton Comfort T-Shirt by visiting their site at, https://www.egyptiancottontshirts.com.  There, you will find several colors and sizes to choose from.

Ultra Soft All Cotton T-shirt by Egyptian Cotton Tshirts - #AllCottonWomensShell

There's nothing more comfy than coming home after a long day at work, shredding off my work clothes and getting into something more comfortable. When I say comfortable, for me, that is grabbing a loose t-shirt, baggy lounge pants or shorts and saying good bye to my bra!

When it comes to t-shirts, I prefer one that is soft, not too tight and one that I can comfortably move around in.  A t-shirt, that I not only can wear around the house, but also out on the weekends and one that can serve as an undershirt to a sleeveless vest, if I want to wear it to work. 

I recently had the opportunity to try, test and wear this t-shirt, shown here. This shirt is very soft, thick and has a little stretch to it.  I received a Large, but it fits more like a fitted Large.  I normally like my t-shirts a little baggier, but this t-shirt is not too tight and it will actually go well with a lot of my summer pants, that I can pair with, when going to work.

The t-shirt is by Egyptian Cotton T-shirts, which can be found at https://www.egyptiancottontshirts.com. The t-shirt is very sturdy, well made and is made of 100% Egyptian cotton, which is long lasting and sturdy.  The t-shirt falls mid hip, not too long and is tagless....A BIG PLUS FOR ME!  Anyone who knows me...I HATE TAGS!  So I'm glad that Egyptian Cotton Tshirts thought of this when making this t-shirt.  

The tee comes in several different colors and the colors are colorfast, meaning, there will be no fading.  I love that this cotton tee is not your thin flimsy tshirt and that it does have some thickness to it.  There is very little shrinkage...maybe 3%.  I can't get over how smooth this tshirt feels when worn and not worn and will continue to feel smooth after many washings, with no piling.

You can check out these tees at https://www.egyptiancottontshirts.com.



What do you look for in a t-shirt?  How do you get comfy after a long day at work?

We, as mothers, all know that you can never EVER get enough burp cloths. From the time your baby is born til the time your little one reaches the age where he or she is no longer drooling, you will go through tons of these gems. Some babies are spitters, some are droolers and then you have some babies who barely spit up at all.  Protecting your baby's clothes (and yours) is just one of the many times you will find your self reaching for these burp cloths.

This pair of burp cloths are hand made by Star Vanderham, from Starline Boutique, on Etsy.  Star has many designs to choose from and the design shown here, is the Sock Monkey and Chevron pattern in Teal and Aqua.  This design is perfect for both baby boys and baby girls that features little sock monkeys on an Aqua Teal colored fabric. The back of the burp cloth is made of a very soft and stretchy fabric, called Minky.  A lot of bibs, burp cloths and baby blankets are being made with Minky, as it's ultra soft and becoming very popular among mommies and babies.  

The burp cloths are soft to the touch and very adorable.  The stitching seems to be even, all around the burp cloth and I love the strip of monkey fabric that goes down the cloth.  Each burp cloth has the Starline Boutique tag, stitched into the burp cloth, for that extra personalized touch.  The burp cloths are 17" x 10".  They are very absorbent and ready to clean up even the messiest spills.

May Your Voyage Be Full Of Love & Wonder unframed print

I love prints that have meaning behind them.  Prints, that you can hang on your wall, whether it be your home, vacation home or while your traveling your camper (like I do.) Some of the simplest prints can have a big impact on someone, especially when that print you have on your wall has great meaning and a story behind it.

This print, shown here, is an unframed print by Craft Street Design, an Amazon store.  Craft Street Design not only has this print, but many other prints that has wording, that is perfect for anyone.  This particular print has the words, "May Your Voyage Be Full of Love & Wonder."  This can be interrupted in many ways, to different people, but with my love of travelling and camping, this print will go perfectly on the inside of my camper.

The print comes unframed, therefore, to get the most from this print, I would suggest placing inside a nice frame for all to see.  The wording and design is not too extravagant, nor colorful, and the black and white print goes well with any room design, in any room I choose to hang it.

The print is digitally made onto a heavy premium 270 gsm archival matte paper, with a matte finish with a slight texture.  It has a white background with black lettering and I love the simplicity of this print.  It's a nice print that will go into any frame you choose, but I plan on putting this into a simple black frame, to offset the lettering.

You can purchase your print....plus other fine prints....HERE.  Check out Craft Street Design on Amazon.

This baby sling is by Mamaway and is called the Mamaway Baby Sling.  The sling is made of 100% cotton and is very soft.  It has two nylon rings...not metal, that helps alleviate any weight or strain on the mother's shoulders and back as well as the baby's spine.  It allows your baby to see the world from YOUR view, instead of the floor or crib.  

There are several benefits of using the Mamaway Baby Sling.

Finest Vitamins - Turmeric Capsules 1300mg & 1000mg

Many of you may not know, but my husband, who is only 51 year old, suffers from joint pain/arthritis.  He has experienced this for a couple years now and it seems it has gotten worse.  He has went to the doctor, who gave him two shots in each hand.  The doctor told him that the shot may take a couple days to a week or so to begin working and that it effects everyone differently.  After the shot, my husband could not tell that the shot had done any good.  

It was when we seen a commercial on television, that there was a supplement that people swore by, that helped with arthritis, that we looked into purchasing this.  Well, as a blogger, I wrote to a company to review their product.  The supplement is none other than Turmeric capsules.  Yes...turmeric!  You see turmeric popping up everywhere ranging from turmeric teas to capsules.  These capsules have made a big impact on my husband's hands!  They truly are a lifesaver and has helped alleviate his joint pain/arthritis tremendously!

The turmeric capsules shown here, are sold by Finest Vitamins on Amazon.  The bottle contains 120 capsules, that can be taken twice daily...one capsule twice a day or two capsules once a day.  They not only help with arthritis and joint pain, but also help with inflammation, lower cholesterol and acts as a natural detoxifier.  They have 1300mg per serving and contain 95% curcumnoids as well as 10mg of BioPerine, also known as black pepper. 

They are made in the US and also help normalize gall bladder function, aides in digestion and supports circulation and blood vessel health.  These vitamins are packed with numerous health benefits.  If you've ever taken any type of turmeric supplement for your arthritis, you know, that once you stop taking these, the pain starts to come back.  These turmeric capsules will definitely alleviate, if not eliminate your joint pain.

Finest Vitamins also has another variety of these turmeric capsules as well, that is sold on Amazon.  Their Turmeric Curcumin capsules that have 1000mg per serving that has the same benefit, but with 300mg less.  You can choose which strength is best for you.  The 1000mg turmeric capsules has the same amount of capsules (veggie) and contain ground root powder instead of the BioPerine (black pepper).  These capsules help maintain the integrity of the intestinal lining.  You can find this variety...HERE!

JISEN Knitted Baby Hammock for Photo Prop

With any newborn, comes many many photos.  Photos that include babies dressed up in tutus, hats, outfits and even in a professional photo prop, as seen here.  Adding that extra prop to a baby's photo makes your baby's photos stand out even more.

This photo prop by JISEN, is that of a soft, knitted hammock.  The hammock is for newborns of 0-2 months, which has a weight limit of up to 10lbs.  The hammock is a breathable prop that allows your baby to comfortably lie in it, while taking your baby's photo.  The hammock has two long knitted straps on each end that you can tie around a branch or other supporting object to catch the perfect photo.  It is recommend that this hammock is used under adult supervision, as we don't want any accidents happening, such as the baby rolling out of it.

This hammock is great as a baby shower or birthday gift and will sure be a favorite. The hammock is stretchy, yet durable.  Place this hammock against or near a wooden fence or a brown background and you have your own professional photo!  This knitted crocheted hammock reminds me of almost a cocoon prop.

Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl for Crafts - by Southern Treasures MS

How many of you are familiar with the Cricut?  The machine that cuts and embosses vinyl, as well as other materials?  The machine, where you can cut monograms, designs and more?  Well, Although I'm not here to promote the Cricut (although I would have liked to have had that opportunity), today I had the opportunity to bring you HTV (heat transfer) vinyls, that are used with such machines.

These samples,  that you see here, are from Southern Treasures MS on Etsy. Southern Treasures was kind enough to send me a 4 sheet sample of the vinyl, that is used with the Cricut and other like machines.  These HTV vinyls normally come in a 8.5 x 5.5, but occasionally they use 6 x 6.  These HTV vinyls are made of waterproof vinyl, with a 3 year outdoor durability.  They are printed by using a professional eco solvent process and can be used for any project you normally use vinyl on.

Since this HTV vinyl has the plastic backing, instead of the paper backing, this particular sample you see here is 3 mil for the backing.  The HTV vinyl does not have a carrier sheet, therefore, you will need to use a carrier or cover sheet when applying heat and transferring.  Here are the instructions, on how to use Southern Treasures vinyls.

     * Cut desired image (do not mirror), weed and apply transfer tape.  Remove backing,
          place on garment, face up and cover with cover sheet and press.

       *  Preheat garment for 2-3 seconds with a temp of 320 F. for 15 seconds. 

       *  Use medium pressure and wait approx. 5 seconds, then peel.

Southern Treasures has many colors, styles, designs and patterns to choose from.  They have a wide variety that range from glitter vinyls to HTV printed vinyls with plastic or paper backing.  Their samples come in several sizes, ranging from samples (as you see here) to 12 x 36.  Go check out Southern Treasures MS for all the available options they have.  I love looking at all the different colors, sparkles and patterns.  It's so hard to choose from!  Below are some of the samples and vinyls Southern Treasures MS have.  And these are just a few out of the 400+ designs they have!
