Easter Pillow Pet review and {GIVEAWAY!!}

Remember when I did a review for Pillow Pets? Well, they now have a new spring/Easter themed animal and I had the opportunity to do another review. These Pillow Pets are the perfect thing to put in your kid's Easter basket. They have all kinds of Spring time animals including:

a duck

ladybug

bee

lamb

and of course, a little bunny.

In case you missed my previous review, Pillow Pets are a stuffed animal that doubles as a pillow. There is a Velcro strap that folds it into a stuffed animal shape, and when you undo the strap the animal lays flat like a pillow. They are made of the softest material you can imagine and are a perfect cuddly companion for your child. My son has had his for months and still loves on it all day long, dragging it around the house with him.
I was able to do a review of the pink bunny and was so excited to give it as a gift to my friend who just had a baby in February. Her baby is the cutest little baby girl you have ever seen and if these pictures don't make you want to run out and buy one of these Pillow Pets (or steal her baby) then I don't know what will.

There are plenty other animals to choose from and you are sure to find at least one animal that your child is in love with. Check out the Pillow Pet's website to see all of the animal choices.

Buy it!
Pillow Pets has a deal going on right now where you can get your first Pet for $19.95 and all subsequent pets for only $15.95!

WIN IT!!

Pillow Pets has generously offered one lucky reader their very own Pillow Pet of choice.

Bravado Review & {GIVEAWAY!!}

Bravado is back with what may be their best bra yet. Let me introduce you to Bliss...

Bliss expertly combines the sweet and sexy of the Sublime with the unsurpassed fit and comfort of the Body Silk Seamless, creating the ultimate everyday nursing bra.

The Bliss is the perfect T-shirt bra- with the added bonus that it is made by Bravado, meaning it is also preeminent in nursing comfort and functionality. I am in love with the seamless molded foam cups, providing a beautiful silhouette while masking any sight of nursing pads, nipples, etc. The neckline is perfectly cut, and the fabric is a satiny dream. Bravado could not have more aptly titled this beautiful bra. It truly is Bliss.

A few more fabulous features in Bravado's Bliss Bra:

•	An innovative firm, but flexible under-breast Flexi-FitTM support system that offers remarkable shape and lift, while maintaining comfort and good breast health.
•	Foam cups that are also seamless, offering discretion to hide nipples and breast pads, as well as having a seamless appearance under even fitted clothing.
•	Satiny fabric that clothing just glides over, a delicate center front detail, and embroidered straps that offer subtle, yet stunning design elements.
•	Gentle stretch in the cups to grow and contract with your changing shape, while maintaining support.
•	Easy nursing features, including cups that drop fully and easily away from the breast for skin-to-skin contact with baby, and signature Bravado B-clips that lie flat under clothing and provide one-handed access.

I have had the pleasure of reviewing four different Bravado bras, and each one I would buy again and again. I have nothing bad to say about them. Bravado is the Mercedes of nursing bras. They are comfortable, functional, durable, and they keep you feeling more like a lady and less like a dairy. If you are nursing you absolutely cannot go wrong with Bravado!!

WIN IT!!

Bravado Designs has generously offered one lucky reader Bliss, the perfect T-shirt bra.

My baby's birthday is coming up soon! How on earth do they get so big so fast?? I wanted something adorable for her to wear for her 1st Birthday. I'm so happy I found Simply FaBOWlous (Accessories for Mini Divas).

She looks so adorable in her new tutu and crochet hat! What a little "diva." I can't wait to show her off at her 1st party. The hat is great quality.

She would march around the house in it and not even want to take it off for bed. Oh, I can't wait for that little dress-up girl personality to come. I think all little girls deserve a tutu to look pretty in. At Simply FaBOWlous, the tutus come with an adorable flower hair clip.Simply FaBOWlous carries lots of other stuff, too. There is even stuff for Boys! Check out this great "Heartbreaker" tattoo hat. That is just too cute!There are also all sorts of hats: cotton hats, crochet hats, mesh hats.Simply adorable headbands and hair clips! Just way too many to choose from.

ThermaPAK Heatshift Laptop Cooler Review & {GIVEAWAY!!}

Over the years, I have had several laptops overheat. Sometimes my laptops just start making really loud noises, or my screen freezes, or my computer might even shut down completely all because it got too hot. For all of these reasons, I was pretty excited to have the opportunity to review a ThermaPAK Heatshift Laptop Cooler.
This laptop cooler does not require any power so you can take it with you everywhere your laptop goes. It has also been proven to lower your laptop temperature by more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit and even outperforms USB cooling fans. So, for only $29.99, I would say it is more than worth it to purchase your own ThermaPAK Heatshift Laptop Cooler. I have definitely loved owning mine and have noticed my laptop staying completely cool while in use with my cooler.

Features

• Performs better than USB fan cooling devices
• Cools entire laptop, not just certain sections
• Uses no fans
• Generates no noise
• Grooved channels for enhanced airflow
• Ultra slim design for mobility
• Various sizes and colors
• Fits all sizes of laptops
• Comfortable, Lightweight and portable
• No need for refrigeration
• Self-cooling
• Uses no power so laptops last longer
• Environmentally friendly
• Heavy-duty, durable, and maintenance free

How it works (from ThermaPAK site):

When a laptop cooler featuring HeatShift Technology™ is placed under any notebook computer, the crystals inside are in a solid state. As the underside of the laptop begins to warm up, this heat is transferred to the HeatShift Technology™ device. This transferral of heat gradually changes the PCM crystals into a liquid. ThermaPAK's pad grooves channel air under the laptop, and use the second law of thermodynamics (which states that heat will tend to flow from hot areas to cold ones to reach equilibrium) to draw heat from the laptop. Our lab results, as well as those of independent reviewers, have seen temperature decreases of up to 6°C (11°F). After the laptop begins to cool, the HeatShift Technology™ device changes back to a solid crystal - ready for the next use.

WIN IT!

ThermaPAK has generously offered one of our very lucky readers a 15" Pink Heatshift Laptop Cooler.
