Mi Cielo Review

Have you guys heard.of mi cielo? if not I have a treat for you guys!

First Here's a little about mi cielo:

"Made with love

mi cielo was born out of a love for creating something unique and playful for my own child, Tristan. After a few months into a new motherhood, I was tired of my baby boy's basic boring clothing. So I began hand-stitching felted flair to add a bit of variety to his wardrobe.

And so mi cielo was born

Next thing I know, I had a gigantic pile of appliquéd clothing in our bedroom! My husband told me to start selling them so that we can get our space back, and that’s how mi cielo was born! I believe every single little one is so unique and special in his/her existence, especially for his/her family, so forget mass production! I want to create a one and only special item for every single little one and his/her family!

Handmade goodness

All items are created and hand-stitched with 100% love by me in Hawaii. I use felts in 28 different colors and play with them every day trying to create something original"

We were sent this awesome shirt for my son

Darth Vader

Handmade clothes are the best, are they not? Whether made by you or someone else, the quality and time that goes into them is so much... more than regular clothes. I love receiving handmade items and This shirt is so stinking cute. Like mentioned above it's handmade and adorable! The design is wonderful and my son just loves having one of his favorite characters!

Here are some more if our favorites from mi cielo

We hope you will have fun shopping at our store for a unique gift or for your own kids, and we trust that you'll enjoy our collection as much as many others have done before you!"

 Their site was very easy to navigate, I designed and placed my order all on my phone in about 15 minutes or less!  I had a lot of fun designing a shirt for my daughter, who is starting Kindergarten this year! I went with their rugby shirts in light pink and had my design placed on the back, I would’ve loved to create a just a t-shirt but her school has a dress code where their shirt must have a collar so I was thrilled to see that they had a wide variety of polos and rugby shirts that i could fit into the dress code! 

Here is our creation! 

I think this will be so much fun for her to wear this year to Kindergarten and it will definitely show her enthusiasm!

Picking our shirt and design was so easy and so much fun!  They have great graphics, high quality materials and lots of color.  And It arrived quickly and I was very impressed with the quality of the shirt and printing.  It looked really sharp and crisp.  

They have a large selection of clothing and accessories you can have personalized for kids and adults. 

I am definitely going to be shopping there a lot hopefully getting my son who will be going to 1st grade a shirt made too.  If you are looking for a custom pieces for a special occasion or for a unique gift, take a look at Simply Colors because they have it all!

Little Trendsetter

I am way excited to share with you guys about this fabulous kids clothing site I found..............

Little Trendsetter!!

"Little trendsetter boutique takes pride in helping your children dress stylish.  We sell unique children's clothes and accessories that will have your little one standing out in any crowd."

I am so glad that I found out about Little Trendsetter! Oh my goodness, they have the cutest things! I am sure there was a time (or many) where you wanted to find that “standout” piece of clothing for your adorable little one. I know I have been in that position! Well, Little Trendsetter is here to help you with that little problem. They have really cute, trendy and fashionable clothing (and more!) for your little ones & Kids are soo much fun to dress-lucky for me I have 3 of them to dress up. 

We were sent 3items and here's what we got 

Flower Bomb shorts 

These shorts are fantastic, trendy but still age appropriate for my almost 6 year old who thinks she's 16. They are amazing quality with a slight stretch to the fabric which is fantastic for growing children. And I just love the fun detail of the rinestone on the button! My daughter definitely feels stylish in these shorts!

The baby doll dress

Oh this dress is just splendid! The lovely lace and sweet cut of the dress is just a overall timeless but yet trendy piece. My 2 year old always wants to "atch"(match) mom and it can be quite hard at times when most children's clothing in no way matches adults but with this little trendsetter dress my little one can be stylish and match me much easier! She was.thrilled to see that I had a dress similar and a pair, of shorts that matched perfectly!

The ultimate plaid

This is a piece that lets boys be boys, in style! this little trendsetter shirt provides a unique take on the all American boy. I love this shirt its so s stylish and my son actually likes it, a lot which is rare for him to even care about clothes, his favorite part is the fact that there is a button to roll the sleeves up, I like that feature to multiple ways to style this piece and longer wear throughout the seasons. Little Trendsetter truly had some of the cutest and most fashionable clothes for little boys!

And Here are My darling Little Ones Modeling for me

Check out some other ADORABLE pieces from their site:

The Wear Everywhere Vest

Super Undies Review and GIVEAWAY!

Well, its about that time (again)........  POTTY TRAINING  Ugh. What’s the best method to use, and what product should you use?! Thankfully, I found Super Undies!  Super Undies helps your little one turn into a Big Kid Potty Using Machine!!!

I was sent a pair of Super Undies Pull on Training Pants here is a little more about them:

"Super Undies Pull-On Potty Training Pants are the only pull on style potty training pants out there with a reliable way of boosting absorption!

Super Undies Pull-On Potty Training Pants are completely waterproof through the wet zone, but made with super stretchy side tabs for easy on and off action. This makes them very versatile and super easy to use! Super Undies Pull-On Potty Training Pants have a layer of micro-fiber built in, making them suitable as a trickle trainer. Now re-designed with a pass through pocket that runs strategically from the front to the back this allows you to customize your absorption. Use our Step-up Inserts to boost absorption as needed too! Now MOM can take full control of her potty training plan, and the natural consequences of an accident as she is ready. They make the child feel wet when there has been an accident. 

Super Undies Pull-On Potty Training Pants are most like real underwear.

Super Undies Pull-On Potty Training Pants cause an easier transition from cloth diapers into the potty training mindset.

You can make use of Super Undies Step-Up Inserts for added absorbency! If you plan on using more than 1-2 inserts, you may wish to increase the sizing suggested in the size tab.

Do you really need Super Undies Pull-On Potty Training Pants?

Super Undies Pull-On Potty Training Pants help to combat the disposable trap mothers can fall into. The disposables take awareness of elimination away from the child, leaving you potty training with nothing more than communication. Super Undies Pull-On Potty Training Pants help give moms another tool to use in their potty training arsenal. Now children can feel wet, you can still be communicating, and when things aren't going as planned you can up the consequence and purposefully cause your child to leak." 

My Thoughts:

I truly love our super undies, I'm currently potty training my youngest daughter and it's been rough, I've already potty trained 2 other children you would think this would be a walk in the park right? WRONG. My youngest is totally different than my other two and quite stubborn, she wants to potty train but did not want to use disposable pull ups (that's what we originally tried) and honestly I hate disposable training pants they are no different than a diaper at all,  but i needed some kind of protection for my carpets, furniture, car and etc! So once we received our Super Undies we immediately tried them on and she loved them!  We've had them for a few days now and she has not had an accident at all she is excited to wear big girl undies and use the potty! (and even if she did have an accident it wouldn't be a catastrophe since these lovely trainers are waterproof)  I honestly think Super Undies helped give her that last push to full on potty training and hopefully there is no going back! 

Overall:

Super Undies Pull On Training Pants are fantastic!  They feel like real underwear and your little one will feel wet when they go in them, but they are also waterproof saving you from total potty training messes.  And you can make them even more absorbent waterproof by adding in the Super Undies inserts.  This allows mom to decide how much of an absorbency she wants in the pant, or even you could start with a higher one and work your way down to a lighter one.  They also have stretchy side tabs so that they are easy for your little one to pull on and off.  And they come in Fun, bright colors!  So your little one can truly feel like a super hero in their Super Undies!  

Check out Super Undies and turn your potty trainer into a super hero!

 Customized Girl carries a great selection of customized apparel and other items. (they also have a gallery of way cute pre-made apparel)

For the review, I was allowed to create a shirt.  I was way excited to do this I have pinned so many cute tops on pinterest that I want to have made but just haven’t got around to it so the hardest part was deciding what I wanted on the shirt! The steps were easy.  Changing your mind was easy (I changed my mind on type of shirt I don’t know how many times!) and there were so many great options to choose from. 

Here is the shirt I custom created!

Overall I love this shirt it's way soft and vintagey I ordered a medium and it's great, it's a flowy tank so wonderful to wear like a tunic or with shorts or jeans or whatever! And I finally decided on a design and went with Bless your heart, it's the southern belle in me that had to have it!

MY thoughts of the Products:

I really enjoyed the taste of all 3 products! They did not have a "yuck health taste" like some products do, they blended smoothly and kept me full and energized! With the Chocolate Soy I mixed it with a 8oz cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it was amazing! And with the Vanilla Soy I mixed it with My morning cup of coffee! It was really good that way! Then when I tried the Pea Protein I decided to go the "shake route" with one drink I mixed unsweetened vanilla almond milk, handful of frozen strawberries and a scoop of lite cool whip and dumped it all in the blender and within seconds I had an amazing protein shake! 

My second attempt at a protein shake was really good too! I made a coffee one!

•  4-6 frozen coffee ice cubs (i freeze leftover coffee) 
•  1cup of unsweetend almond milk, 
• a splash of sugar free coffee creamer (your flavor choice) 
• a scoop of lite whipped cream 
• optional tsp of coco powder
• 2 scoops pea protein powder

 then blend it and you have a healthy frozen coffee/protein shake! 

Overall I really liked the Naturade products I got to try out and they will probably become my regular meal replacement/protein powder choices! 

Now for the Giveaway Naturade has offered one of you lucky readers a chance to win 19.57 oz Full size tub of  our All Natural Pea Protein 100% Vegan Formula in the vanilla flavor just use the rafflecopter form below

I Found My Favorite New Coffee!

I was recently contacted about reviewing a bag of Coffee From Coffee Bean Direct, I was naturally excited because, well, I live off of coffee, I mean I would have an IV of the stuff if I could, with that being said I am very particular about what coffee I like, there is one brand that I have my mom mail me because they do not sell it where I live, so I wasn't expecting to really be blown away by this coffee, but I was wrong, like way wrong!! 

Here's a little about Coffee Bean Direct:

"They carry over 100 varieties of Coffee and over 70 varieties of Tea! They roast Most of their coffee within 24 hours before it ships. All if their coffees & teas are blended, flavored & packaged by hand. They are located in NJ! And have excellent customer service where you can always talk/email a REAL person, who actually knows what they are talking about!! They ship quickly, usually next day. And are independently owned and operated!! What’s not to love about Coffee Bean Direct!!! (If you want to read all of their about us Go HERE and I urge you too one of the best "about us" sections I've read)


I was sent their 

City Roast Colombian Supremo

My Thoughts:

 First off this coffee smells heavenly! The next morning, after receiving the coffee, I decided to take a break from my normal coffee and give this one a try, before the pot was even halfway filled the wonderful aroma of this coffee filled my house I actually stood there watching and waiting for it to be done so I could pour myself a cup! And as soon as I tasted it I was sold the flavor is out of this world, just wonderful, I will admit I drank 2 pots that day and went to bed thinking about being able to wake up and make another pot! I definitely have to add this to the top of my favorite coffees list, it's like sunshiny magic in a cup!
