I love shopping! I really enjoy shopping online, but my biggest issue is that most shopping sites search features are just not up to par or the prices are outrageous. That's why I love CSN Stores, finding exactly what you are looking for is easy and the prices are very affordable. They also have a huge selection since they have over 200 online stores in one easy location.
We have been remodeling our home. We painted the interior of the house, gave our counter-tops and back splash a make over and we are now decorating and furnishing our home to match the new paint.
This is how I ended up looking at office desks. Since remodeling, I realized how much of a mess my home office is. My fiance and I run our own lawn service and I need to keep everything organized. Instead, I pile everything up and then end up searching for hours for one paper or document. I started looking at desks on CSN Stores and found quite a few that I love. I want a desk that is simple, but has storage space. This desk pictured below is my personal favorite at the moment.
What about you? Are you looking for any office furniture? What is your favorite desk?

Win It Wednesday: Weekly Wins
As you know, I love entering contests and have won quite a few items. This week along with my weekly wins list, I am including a few tips to help my readers enter Facebook contests properly and fairly!
Facebook contests are fun. I have won a Mavea water pitcher, a few gift cards, an Munchkin baby gate and many others things by entering contests on Facebook. The difference is that unlike most Twitter contests, Facebook contests are typically one time entries. Generally the sponsor or company will require you to leave a comment and they will randomly select a winner or choose a winner based on creativity of the answer. Many Facebook contests require you to get votes or likes on your post. Here are a few pointers:
1. When you first sign up for Facebook, become a fan of companies and brands that you like.
2. If friends ask you for votes, vote for them. This way if you need votes, they will return the favor. I cannot stand when people ask me for votes and do not return the favor. I stop voting for them.
3. Look through your feed carefully, it is very easy to miss a contest simply by looking over it.
4. Do not copy other peoples unique answers/comments. This will get you disqualified.
5. Read all rules before entering a contest. Many people are disqualified from contests because they failed to read the rules thoroughly.
I have started the "Win It Wednesday: Weekly Wins" post and will post a new one each and every Wednesday. I will post the items that I have won in the past week and hopefully hear of items that you have won.
With that said, in the past week I have won:
* The Couponizer (Blog win)
* A $10 Dots Gift Card from @dotsFashions
* A Golden Ticket which enters me into the drawing for a trip to Jamaica!
That is my list for the past week. What have you won lately? Please comment below, I would love to hear about your wins!

O.N.E. Coconut Water Review and Giveaway (3 winners)
I drink water and milk. Every now and again, I will have a glass of juice. I have tried several different brands of coconut water and haven't really care for any of them, until I tried O.N.E. I was sent a case of O.N.E. Coconut water with a splash of passion fruit and I am in love with it! It is so refreshing, hydrating and delicious. Best of all, it is nutritious and 100% natural! I just ordered 3 cases for my family and 3 cases for a friend from Amazon (for real).
We brought O.N.E. to the beach with us and it was a hit! Like I previously stated, a friend of ours asked me to purchase 3 cases for their family. It is incredibly hydrating, I seriously cannot find the words to describe it, you just have to try it for yourself.
From the website:
O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash…of fruit juice
Just as the name suggests, O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash starts with our pure coconut water and we add a splash of fruit juice to offer tropical flavors like Mango, Pineapple and Pink Guava. Containing more than 85 percent coconut water, Splash offers tasty selections that still provide all the health benefits of drinking plain coconut water. Splash is packaged at the source to ensure the highest quality and freshness.
O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash

* Excellent for replacing lost electrolytes due to exercise, illness and/or excessive dehydration

Voda Swim Review & Giveaway
After I had my first child, I dropped two cup sizes. This took a major toll on my self confidence. I was really uncomfortable with my body and very self conscious when I was at the beach or at the pool. I live in Florida so my family is constantly at the beach or the pool, so this was a big issue to me. Since having my second child, my bust has increased, but I am still not where I originally was. I was very excited when I heard about Voda swimwear.
Voda Swim’s Envy Push Up Bikinis are designed to visually increase bust size by one to two cup sizes. In addition, that patent-pending Envy Push Up pad retains less than a tablespoon of water, helping the tops to retain their extraordinary fit, even when wet.
I chose the Midnight Envy Push Up® Hoop Halter & Scoop which retails for $127.00 and I LOVE it. The design is so sexy and doesn't look or fit like traditional padded bikinis which often times look like you are wearing a padded bra. When I go to the beach, I want to wear a bikini not a bra! This swimsuit is very comfortable and definitely increases bust size. I was pleasantly surprised with how much "umph" this padded swimsuit gave my girls and how comfortable this brazilian bikini is.
About VODA SWIM (From the website)
Voda Swim is a new concept in bikini design. The magic is in a new patent pending Envy Push Up bikini top created by international model Yulia. Where ordinary bikini cups sag and wrinkle, Voda Swim bikini tops create perfect bikini breasts! Finding a bikini top that fits is a frustrating, disappointing experience. That's why a young fashion model and avid beach lover decided it was time to rethink that whole bikini thing. "I spend a lot of time at the beach, but I was always self-conscious about my swimsuit. Whenever I put on a bikini, it looked baggy and I looked shapeless. The bikini tops didn't provide any lift or contouring, and made my breasts look non-existent."
Taking it as a personal challenge, Yulia and her husband Dustin spent many long nights working on high-fashion bikini designs that would make the most of the smallest assets. The secret is in the fit and a little hidden magic in the form of a soft and pliant enhancer that cups the breast, giving a full, rounded contour, with a natural bouncy movement. The cup shape insures a perfect fit providing support and shaping. The Envy Push Up top visually increases the bust size by up to two cup sizes and provides great lift and support! The curves and contours are utterly natural, the lift and cleavage are flawless.
The Envy Push Up line by Voda Swim, the first swim suit line designed especially to flatter small-breasted women or to shape breasts by providing lift and support, has the kind of cutting edge style that satisfies the most demanding fashionista. Beyond their good looks, Voda Swim suits are designed to take on any beachside activity from sunbathing to surfing to volleyball.
Whether you are looking for a one piece, two piece or a brazilian swimsuit, Voda Swim has a suit that will fit your style and needs. Voda Swim push up swimsuits retail between $100-$132 and can be purchased here. Voda Swim has generously offered my readers a 10% discount code. Use the code HauteMom at checkout and receive 10% off your purchase.
The generous folks at Voda Swim have also offered one lucky One Haute Mommy readers the Voda Swim swimsuit of their choice!

Win It Wednesday: Weekly Wins
As you know, I love entering contests and have won quite a few items. This week along with my weekly wins list, I am including a few tips to help my readers enter Twitter contests properly and fairly!
Twitter contests are fun and definitely my favorite to enter. I have won an Apple iPad, a stove, an LED TV and many others things by entering contests on Twitter. The problem that I see is that many people "try" to enter and do not enter correctly or fairly. Here are a few pointers:
1. When you first sign up for Twitter, follow companies and brands that you like.
2. If you see a contest you are interested in entering, check back with the sponsors page and READ THE RULES! (Many people get disqualified from contests because they do not read the rules).
3. Do not go on Twitter and his the Retweet button on fellow contesters contest tweets (this is not fair and will get you blocked and reported).
4. Do not copy and paste other contesters contest tweets (some contests require you to make up your own tweet, by copying someone you are plagiarizing.
5. Make friends! This is huge because if you make friends on Twitter you will both learn different contests from one another and it gives you a chance to socialize with people all over the world.
I have started the "Win It Wednesday: Weekly Wins" post and will post a new one each and every Wednesday. I will post the items that I have won in the past week and hopefully hear of items that you have won.
With that said, in the past week I have won:
* A $20 GC to DonkeyTs from @DonkeyTs
* A Backpack from @PriceGrabber
* A Prom Dress from @CharlotteRusse
* Item of my choice (out of these) I'm choosing the Hudson Jeans! from @MomLife & @thisnext
* A Quiznos GC from @Quiznos
* Elizabeth Grant Collagen Diamond Night Creme (Blog win)
* Wow Wow Wuzzby Be Mine DVD (Blog win)
* A $100 Amazon GC from @BBMCHAT --> I highly recommend that you follow him on Twitter and sign up for his website because he has contest on their as well. He is very generous and always has contest going on. I have won from him before and he is legitimate and honest fellow.
That is my list for the past week. What have you won lately? Please comment below, I would love to hear about your wins!

TempleTouch Premium Thermometer Giveaway & Review
A few weeks ago, my entire family (except me) came down with the stomach flu. It was awful! Since I was the only one who wasn't sick, I was the one taking care of everyone. My fiance, 3 year old son, and 17 month old daughter were all running fevers. At the time, all we had was a traditional thermometer. It was very hard for me to get an accurate temperature on my children, they keep moving and the thermometer would give an inaccurate temperature.
When TempleTouch offered to send me one of there TempleTouch Premium thermometers, I was ecstatic. This thermometer is easy to use and gives an accurate temperature. I used it on both of my children and no one complained and I received accurate temperatures.
From the website:
Award-winning, economical, reliable, accurate, and non-invasive, the TempleTouch™ Premium is the world’s only combined thermometer for both temple & underarm measurement in a new innovative design. Another breakthrough in thermometers, its unique design & technical capabilities, which enable parents to receive quick and accurate temperature measurement by just touching the infant’s temple or open armpit. The temple area is a comfortable and easy measurement site, accessible when child or patient is awake or asleep.
The TempleTouch Premium thermometer feautures:

Conair Infiniti Pro Spin Air Brush Review & Giveaway
I am a full-time college student and stay-at-home mom of two beautiful children. Before motherhood, I was always dressed up (hair done, makeup done, nails done...the works). Now I am lucky if I get the chance to get all dolled up. I find that it is critical for my self-esteem to try and take the time to get dressed up even if I am staying home with the kids. I am always on the lookout for products that make getting ready in the mornings easier...then I met the new Conair Infiniti Pro Spin Brush and I fell in love.
From the website:
Shaped like a typical round hair brush you’d use to do a blow-out, the Spin Air brush combines two tools in one by blowing air through the rotating brush to volumize and add shine as you dry. Simply brush through wet or damp hair for instant drying power. The Infiniti Pro Spin Air Brush feautures tangle-free anti-static bristles that allow you to customize your volume with or without the spin function. The powerful ceramic heat distributes heat evenly for less damage, and an ionic generator releases 100x more ions than typical tourmaline ceramic motors. With 100x more ions, your hair will have maximum conditioning and shine! Choose from 3 heat settings and 2 speeds, and the multi-directional rotation (right/left) makes it easy for both right and left-handed users.
The Infiniti Pro by Conair Spin Air Brush is available nationwide at mass market and drug store retailers, as well as at www.conair-store.com for an average retail price of $59.99.
I thought that this device worked perfectly. It took me a few times to get the hang of it, but once did it was easy to use and left my hair feeling silky, smooth and straightened. I also have very fine hair and it did not tangle or damage my hair. It did give my hair some much needed volume.
I also received Conair's new and innovative You Style 2in1 brush. This brush is great because like the name says it does two things and you only need this one brush. It eliminates having to switch from paddle brush to rounded brush and ultimately saves time.
From the website:
Are you tired of having to search for and juggle brushes with one hand while holding your hair dryer in another? Do your hair styling tools warrant a separate piece of luggage when you travel? Conair invites you to simplify your styling routine with its new Conair® You Style™ 2in1 Brush. With an easy push of a button, it converts from a flat to a rounded brush that’s great to achieve a variety of hairstyles on almost any hair length or texture.
Start with the flat brush setting for everyday brushing and use for blow dry straightening and smoothing. Slide the button and collapse the sides to convert it to a rounded brush. Once sides are in place, release the button to lock it into position. The rounded brush allows you to add lift and volume at the roots, create soft waves, or finish ends to curl under or flip up. To return to the flat brush, slide button up and position sides back to original position and release button back into locked position.
The combination of bristles helps to distribute hair’s own natural oils for added shine. The vents allow airflow to reach hair for faster drying and styling. The ball tip bristles gently glide through hair for stress-free brushing.
To top if all off, I also received the scunci bendini. The clips are amazing and incredibly easy to use. They come in a wide variety of designs so you will be sure to find one that you love.
From the website:
Perfect for prom, wedding, communion or just to add a bit of sparkle to hair any day, we are introducing the new scünci® bendini™ clips! This high fashion hair jewelry adds instant glam in two easy steps, and works on almost any hair length and texture. The scünci bendini is available in three different sizes and a variety of styles, including jeweled crystals, colorful beads and metallics. It’s also available in the special scünci “girl” line designed especially for the little beauties in your life.
To use the scünci bendini clip, start with gathering your hair in the desired style. Slide the bendini comb into the hair, and bend and snap it securely in place for an all-day hold. To see how it works, visit http://www.scunci.com/bendini.html.
The bendini clip are now hitting shelves at drug, mass and grocery stores nationwide starting in at a suggested retail price of about $4.99 per pack.
You can also find out more great information and take part in scünci giveaways at the scünci Facebook page (www.facebook.com/scuncihair) or following scünci on Twitter (www.twitter.com/scunciHair).
The very generous folks at Conair have offered one lucky One Haute Mommy reader the chance to win the same package that I received (the Infiniti Pro Spin Air Brush, the You Style 2in1 brush, and a package of the Scunci Bendini hair clips).

Win It Wednesday: Weekly Wins
I began entering contests last year and I have been hooked ever since. Why? Well, I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time College student so money is tight. By entering contests, I am able to win products and items that my family otherwise would be unable to afford. I have also been introduced to countless brands that I hadn't heard of before. I now purchase many products that I have won before because I was able to try them out without taking the risk of paying for something that I may or may not be happy with.
I have won numerous items in the past year including: a $500 Floor and Decor Gift Card, a Westinghouse LED TV, an Apple iPad, an Apple iPod touch, a guitar, and many beauty products and gift cards, just to name a few.
I have started the "Win It Wednesday: Weekly Wins" post and will post a new one each and every Wednesday. I will post the items that I have won in the past week and hopefully hear of items that you have won.
So to get things started, in the past week I have won:
* A $5 Target Gift Card from itsthoughtful.com
* A beauty prize back from @eastcoastsalon
* A promo code from @lazyshoutout
* A prize from @2ndfloorgenius for being one of their first 100 followers
* Prize Package from @TrueLemon (not sure what it will be)
* A pair of shoes (of my choice) from @rocketdogbrands
* A Propel Zero gift pack that includes two 20 oz bottles of Propel Zero, a Propel Zero t-shirt, and 3 coupons for a free single-serve Propel Zero in a drawstring backpack. (Blog Win)
That is my list for the past week. What have you won lately? Please comment below, I would love to hear about your wins!

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review & Giveaway
I am constantly on the hunt for an effective lotion/moisturizer. However, after reviewing Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion, I am no longer searching. This product is incredible, skin care at its finest! I had visible results in just a few days and will definitely continue to purchase this product. My skin is dry, especially around my nose and cheeks. I have used countless moisturizers and lotions. Some are too greasy and other just simply didn't work or irritated my skin. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion has just the right consistency, is hypoallergenic, fragrance and colorant free so it will not irritate your skin, and shows results in just a few days.
After just a few days, I noticed a huge difference in my skin. My face was soft and felt moisturized. The dry patches around my nose and cheeks were gone. This lotion is not greasy and is very light. My skin feels rejuvenated each and every time I apply the product. Like I said before, I will continue to purchase this lotion. It is absolutely amazing!
Full product description:
A shielding lotion does the real work to prevent dry skin in two ways:
First, it assists the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture. The humectant (an ingredient that attracts moisture) used in Skin MD Natural is unique to it and has been laboratory tested to be 6 times more effective than any other you will find in common creams.
Second, a shielding lotion enhances the power of the top layer of the skin to resist environmental irritants while protecting the inner natural moisture.
You can view hundreds of dermatologist and user reviews on the manufacturer's website www.skinmdnatural.com, including many addressing severe skin care problems such as eczema and psoriasis. People with sensitive skin -- and those of us who like to live as naturally as possible -- will appreciate that Skin MD Natural is hypoallergenic, free of fragrances, parabens and colorants. It is made with more than 90% natural ingredients and 100% food-grade ingredients that are on the FDA's "most safe" list.
The generous folks at Skin MD have offered one lucky One Haute Mommy reader the chance to win a bottle of their fabulous Natural Shielding Lotion of their own. Can't wait? Buy it now. Skin MD skin care products can be purchased here.
