Featuring Hazelaid ~ Giveaway! CLOSED

Hazelaid makes absolutely gorgeous necklaces, and bracelets for both children and adults. These awesome products are made from unique natural Hazelwood and/or Baltic Amber. Hazelaid was kind enough to send us some necklaces for review, you can see Ladybug below modeling her stylin’ necklace…

Ladybug is wearing the dark cherry/honey amber necklace, in the 11” size and it is perfect. I chose the Hazelwood/Amber combination for her since Amber is known to help with teething symptoms. I can’t say I have noticed anything, but it certainly looks adorable and she wears it often. I love that it might even be helping even if I don’t notice…teething babies are not fun, so any help is welcomed!

I got a necklace for myself, and also one for my husband. Mine is brown/cream 16", my husband’s is black/hematite 18" both from the Hazelwood adults section.

Neither of us had any of the target symptoms so we can only tell you that we love the way the necklaces look and feel and we both wear ours 100% of the time now!

Here is some detailed information about these awesome products (info written by the nice owner)…

All-natural, organic, handmade hazelwood necklaces that provide relief from eczema, acid reflux, teething pain,etc.

Hazelaid was born when our family was introduced to the amazing healing properties of hazelwood products. Our daughter was suffering with severe eczema when we were told about these necklaces. We tried them out and within 2 weeks of her wearing it, her eczema was gone. That was the beginning of our journey with hazelwood necklaces. We have since seen them help many others with so many issues.

These necklaces made with pieces of wood from the hazelnut tree have the unique property of absorbing the excess acid produced in our bodies when it is in contact with our skin.

Hazelwood necklaces were originally used by native americans to help alleviate their babies' teething pains. They have since been shown to help with numerous other ailments all related to an imbalance of acidity in the body.

Our necklaces come in adorable child models, fashionable adult models, as well as bracelets and anklets.

If you suffer from:

• Arthritis,
• Osteoporosis,
• Acid reflux,
• Heart burn,
• Ulcers,
• Acne,
• Cold sores,
• Eczema,
• Headaches,
• Migraines,

...it is highly probable that you are suffering from an acidity imbalance. These hazelwood necklaces can help you alleviate these symptoms in a natural way.

Info about how Baltic amber works and what it helps with:

Commonly known as "teething jewelry" in Europe, Baltic amber has been a natural remedy for pain relief for hundreds of years. As it warms with the body’s natural temperature, amber releases its healing oils that contain succinic acid which are then readily absorbed into the skin and then into the bloodstream. Amber is known to relieve headaches, reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and stomach and to fight infections and respiratory diseases as it improves the body’s immunity.

Natural amber beaded necklaces are a completely non-invasive remedy for rashes, upset tummies, earaches, fevers and colds. Baltic amber is a natural analgesic that will help calm your child and is recognized by allopathic medicine specialists as antispasmodic and anti-fever. Many adults report improvement of arthritis discomfort and carpal tunnel pain in their hands when wearing amber jewelry.

Featuring Diaper Sprayer ~ Giveaway & Coupon Code CLOSED

When I found out I would be receiving a Diaper Sprayer for review, I was thrilled, and also a bit skeptical to be honest! I had heard great things about these nifty little gadgets, but I really doubted that it could work as well as the hose on my back deck! However, I knew that hose would no longer be my friend in the dead of winter, so I was on board to figure out a new solution!

My biggest fear was that the water pressure wouldn't be strong enough to actually spray the poop off of the diaper-boy was I wrong...the pressure is awesome!!!! It is better than the hose on my deck!

My husband hooked it up (see directions here), and said it was pretty simple to do. He had it done in a matter of minutes. He's nice and handy like that!

Needless to say we are thrilled with our Diaper Sprayer, and are excited to be able to give one away here on our blog! This simple, yet amazing little gadget is a wonderful addition to the life of a cloth diaper-er.

Featuring Rockin' Green! CLOSED

I began using cloth diapers when Ladybug was around 7 weeks old. It was something I NEVER planned to do, but something I am so glad I tried! Awhile back I learned about a new detergent specifically for cloth diapers on the market...Rockin' Green. I was fortunate to recieve a free sample which allowed me to do about 5 loads of diapers to test it out.

Around the time I was sent the sample, I was battling with some major stinkies and I could just not get the ammonia smell out of her diapers. I used up my free sample, and didn't win the battle by that point...I wasn't yet using the right de-stinking method. I KNEW I liked the Rockin' Green detergent though so I went ahead and ordered a full size bag, with faith that I would figure out how to get my dipes smelling good again!

Finally I gave the soak method a try, which was recommended on the Rockin' Green site. I have a front loader, so I had to soak my diapers in a rubbermaid tub in the bathtub, but I did it. 3 tbsp of Rockin Green, stinky dipes and hot water...1 hour. Then I did a cold wash with no detergent, then a hot with 1 tbsp detergent, then a hot wash without, plus an extra rinse.

So far so good!!! The ammonia smell seems to finally be gone (for those of you not familiar with ammonia smell in cloth...the dipes don't actually smell until baby pees in them, then the buildup on the dipe mixes with the urine and produces a foul smell.)

I have made the official switch, using up the last of my old detergent (which I think is the cause of the ammonia stinkies). I am now the proud owner of a big ol bag of Classic Rock ~ Monkey Snacks!
