For many girls, their first experience with owning jewelry with precious or semi-precious gemstones is when they are presented with their first ring – which is often set with their birthstone. I received my sapphire birthstone ring from my grandmother for my tenth birthday. On my eleventh birthday I received my first wristwatch – my […]

One of the things most parents relegate themselves to is the fact that once you have babies, they take over the home. Toys everywhere, baby products, fingerprints. Luckily, there are companies helping us take back a bit of our home or wardrobe, and here are my picks for my favorite products that are both convenient […]

I love love love the new tubs! they are super cute and like you said, so stylish. We have that yellow Winnie the pooh one though and have had it since the day Kendall was born. the rubber thing is kind of broken now and doesn’t do it’s job of holding one wipe in while you pull another out but DH is crazy sentimental and won’t let us get a new one, we just keep buying refill wipes. lol. I wish I could get one of the new tubs though.
-
Boy, those designer tubs sure weren’t around when my boys were little, I probably would have bought them if they were.
-
I always used a large Coach bag I had as a diaper bag, but I didn’t know they actually made real diaper bags! I’m totally getting one for my next go-around.
-
Making note now.
-
All are wonderful ideas!
-
What great selections! I love all of these! Those wipes tubes are so chic. i can definitely see keeping some of these on hand even after my kids are no longer in diapers.
-
Those are the cutest wipe cases ever.
-
Love that Coach diaper bag 🙂
-
I adore their new wipes container! While I use cloth diapers we love huggies wipes!
-
Very cute wipes! We love huggies and most of those products.
-
When I was pregnant or just having had my daughter, fashion was the furthest thing in my mind. I love how there are so many cute option these days though.
-
I lurve that Winnie the Pooh cover – so cute! I used a ‘real’ diaper bag for about two weeks before the plastic kitschy pattern on it annoyed me so much I switched to a larger stylish handbag and never looked back!

Maybe it’s because I was born smack dab in the middle of a long, hot summer, but I love the sizzling weather of the summertime, and I adore the beach and the sun. I’m also a fan of the look of sunkissed skin, the healthy color one would get from a day spent outdoors picnicking […]
-
A subtle bit of color still looks good, but when I see a deep dark tan, all I think is “soon to look like an old leather bag”.
-
Oh I am definitely not the one they are looking for. I am white as a sheet and burn if the sun so much as looks at me LOL. Sounds like a great opportunity for someone though!
-
Great contest!
-
I definitely care about my skin, can’t wait to see who get’s chosen.
-
I love Hawaiian Tropic products, they smell so good. I should enter this how fun would that be!
-
I honestly don’t use a ton of sunblock, but I love Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen and tanning oils! They smell heavenly and really make my skin so soft!
-
What a great opportunity for a lucky woman 🙂
-
You should, you are beautiful and classy and an all round lovely woman!
-
I am ghostly white and would NEVER wear a bathing suit in public, without a cover up. I love the scent of Hawaiin Tropic products. My two oldest children have beautiful dark skin, and they bronze in the sun, even with sun block.
-
I love a glowing tan and love that they are looking for a new look.
-
I love the smell of Hawaiian Tropic products.
-
Skin care is such an important topic! Great contest.
-
I love Hawaiian Tropic. This sounds like an awesome contest.
-
I can’t wait to see who wins this.
-
I love the message of this promotion. Loving the sun is fine as long as you protect your skin – so important!
-
I like having a tan. For many years I tanned (sun, or tanning bed) all the time. But for the last 2 years I quit it… just too scared, but I have to have a little color. I feel so washed out if I don’t. I lov the smell of Hawaiian Tropics!
-
Sounds like a great opportunity! Like Kathleen, I burn easily, so I have no choice but to embrace my paleness. ~lol~
-
I do the “gradual tan”…first I go out for 5 minutes of sun, then 7 another day, then 10, etc or else I burn too!
-
What a fun contest!
-
I love Hawaiian Tropic for sun protection! The smell can’t be beat and I never fear that I might get burned accidentally.
-
It sounds like a great opportunity but I would never get that … I’m practically an albino! 🙂
-
I should totally be their new face, I love their tanning lotions.
-
I love close to a hundred degree weather, but I do need to be careful out in the sun because I’m very fair.
-
Hawaiian Tropic is a brand I’ve used since I was a kid!
-
I love Hawaiian tropic. I have to use something living here in california.
-
I burn easily and often use Hawaiian Tropic!
-
I remember how cool I felt when I was finally old enough to purchase Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil on my own and “lay out” by the pool. I really like that they seem to be stepping away from the bikini spokesmodels!

Spring is here, the weather is warmer, and flowers and trees are coming to life again. Thanks to Odwalla, this year 100,000 new trees will be blooming this year, one for every person who created a tree in the Plant-A-Tree program. I wanted to be part of it, and created my own, fruit-filled virtual tree […]
-
Ok, I can’t resist that prize incentive! So entering!

Thank you for sharing, I don’t know how I hadn’t heard about this before!

What a great program! I can’t wait to design a family tree with the kids.
-
What a great program. Our city recently got hit by an ice storm and so many trees were damaged when it was over. I know a lot of new trees will need to be planted here. I”m going to go create a virtual one!
-
I just planted a virtual tree! 🙂

Thanks for sharing this, I had no idea they did this. And I still have a few days left to show my support.



I always think the story behind a birthstone is interesting.
