Want to save money? Switch to STRAIGHT TALK

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

With the current economic status, many families are trying to save money.  With modern technology, pretty much everyone has a cell-phone or needs one.  So why not save money and stay current with technology by switching to Straight Talk?

Why switch?

• What would you buy with the extra money you save?

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Diapers Review & Giveaway

Photobucket

Seventh Generation wants to offer you an EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at their newly re-launched Free & Clear diapers. With the same great performance that parents have come to expect from Seventh Generation, Free & Clear diapers have a brand new look that makes it ‘clear’ what makes them so special.

What Seventh Generation leaves out is just as important as what they put in. Free & Clear diapers do not include chlorine processing, fragrances, latex and petroleum based lotions. In an effort to contribute less overall landfill waste and continue to ensure a premium standard of absorbency, the new Free & Clear diapers have been redesigned with a lighter-weight core. With processed chlorine-free wood pulp in Free & Clear diapers, Seventh Generation also makes certain that no chlorine is released into the environment during the totally chlorine-free (TCF) whitening process of the diapers and training pants.

Seventh Generation has also reduced the size of the diapers’ plastic packaging, meaning that each pack now contributes even less overall landfill waste than before. In fact, Seventh Generation Free & Clear diaper packaging can now be recycled at local supermarkets where plastic bag recycling collection boxes are available.

My review:
I used the Seventh Generation Free & Clears diapers on my 20 month old daughter Brianna and I love them. They are very soft and durable. They hold up very well and we did not have any leakage. They are a plain manila color with no design so they are gender neutral. This is definitely a product that I would purchase and recommend to my friends.

You can go here and receive a $2 off coupon!

Seventh Generation and MyBlogSpark are giving one lucky One Haute Mommy reader a package of the new and improved Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers!

Riley's Rambles

Photobucket

My 3 year old son has been saying and making some hilarious comments lately so I thought I would share a few with you.

Riley: Mom, I hurt my wee-wee
Me: How?
Riley: The toilet fell on it.
Me: Well it looks okay, so I think you are going to be fine.
Riley: Don't put a band-aid on it
Me: I won't

My fiance and I are planning our wedding and I asked Riley if he would like to be the ring bearer. He continued to tell me no each and every time I ask him. Finally he comes to me and says "Mama, we need to get me a bear costume so I can be the ring bear." I thought that was really cute.

About a week ago:
Riley came in our (my fiance and I's) bedroom and excitedly says "I'm growing", I reply that's awesome! He says "yeah, my wee-wee is getting bigger". I could not stop laughing!

My fiance occasionally has to go out of state for his job. While he was out of state I called Riley "babe". He turned around, looked at me and replied "I'm not babe, I'm Riley, babes in Alamabama". Yes, I spelled it as he pronounced it, I can spell!

Certain Dri Review & Giveaway

I hadn't ever had a problem with excessive perspiration until I got pregnant. From then on, I have been testing each and every deodorant and antiperspirant that is available and none of them worked. They would cover up the odor for about an hour and then I would have to reapply again. This got old really quick.

Photobucket

However, when I was asked to review Certain Dri, I was stoked because it was a product that I hadn't tried before. Much to my surprise, it works like a charm! I started using the Certain Dri and noticed a huge improvement in my body odor and amount of perspiration. I went and purchased the Certain Dri AM refresher and since using both products, I have not had body odor or excessive perspiration since. These products are amazing and I highly recommend them to anyone who has a problem with perspiration.

From the website:

* Created specifically to complete the line of Certain Dri antiperspirant products for those who want the same 72-hour protection from excessive underarm perspiration in a solid application.

* The product is specially-formulated to provide everyday, all-day dryness for those who suffer from excessive underarm perspiration.

* Certain Dri® Solid Anti-Perspirant contains 25% aluminum sesquichlorohydrate (Anhydrous). It is the only over-the-counter antiperspirant with this ingredient, which is more effective than the aluminum zirconium formula found in over-the-counter solid antiperspirants that are labeled “clinical strength.”

Certain Dri has also launched a giveaway on their Facebook page called "100-Days of Summer" and will be giving away free products each day.


Celebrate the season of fun in the sun every day this summer! For the 100 days from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Certain Dri is giving away one Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant every day. One random entrant will be chosen to receive a Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant (roll-on or solid) each day from May 27, 2011 to September 3, 2011. Every Friday at noon E.T., all seven winners from that week will be announced on the Certain Dri Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/certaindri





The generous folks at Certain Dri have offered one lucky One Haute Mommy reader the chance to win their very own Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant. Can't wait? Buy it now! Certain Dri products are available at retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, and Walgreens, to name a few.

O.N.E. Kids Coconut Water Review and Giveaway (3 winners

Photobucket

My son is a juice drinker. He always wants juice. I have to refuse to give him juice and make him drink water so I was excited when I learned that O.N.E. had a line of products especially for kids. My fiance and I absolutely love O.N.E. coconut water and know the benefits of it so we were excited to give it to our son. When the package arrived, my son was all excited because they look like juice boxes. When he tried them, he loved them. He would offer them to all of his friends that came over. What a polite boy!

O.N.E. KIDS is available in four delicious flavors:

From the website:

O.N.E. Kids is a great tasting, super hydrating and nutritious beverage with less sugar than typical fruit juices, and the five essential electrolytes naturally present in coconut water. It’s O.N.E. huge step for kids and parents who care about their health.

Why is Hydration Especially Important for Kids?

According to the Mayo Clinic staff, children produce more heat and sweat less than adults, and are less likely to drink enough fluids — all of which increase the risk of dehydration, especially when they exercise in hot weather. So by the time your kids are thirsty, they are already past the point of being adequately hydrated.

Our bodies depend on water for survival. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to function correctly. It makes up more than half our body weight. Our bodies use water to maintain temperature, remove waste and lubricate joints. Hydration is essential for good health. And healthy hydration requires the right combination of minerals, called electrolytes, for water to efficiently enter the cells in every fiber of our bodies.

Loaded with the natural hydrating benefits of coconut water, O.N.E. Kids Coconut Water with Fruit Juice is a great way to prevent dehydration.


The very generous folks at O.N.E. have offered to give THREE lucky One Haute Mommy readers a case of their very own delicious O.N.E. kids coconut water. Can't wait? Buy it now! You can purchase O.N.E. products from Amazon.com or click here to find a store selling O.N.E. Drinks near you.
