Holiday Outfit Accessories and Stocking Stuffers, Haircoverings.com

**I received several products from haircoverings.com for the purpose of writing a review and hosting this sponsored giveaway. No other compensation has been received**

I’ve been browsing sales for holiday dresses for my baby girl. I’ve also been considering how cold it’s been here in PA. Making sure I have warm winter accessories for everyone at a price I can afford. Haircoverings.com has a huge selections of headbands, hats, gloves, scarves, clips, and so much more. As the name suggests, they have all kinds of hair coverings, but that’s not all.

My baby girl is 8 months old, she’ll be 9 months by Christmas. So many cutest dresses out there for the holidays. Having a girl for the first time I want to add soft headbands to pretty much all her outfits. I think these two look like a festive holiday accessories, don’t you? They even have baby santa hats. So cute!

When the weather gets cold this time of year my boys (the 3 of them) usually end up saying, “I can’t find my gloves” or “I can only find one glove” We have a bench to put all that stuff in but do they? Nope. Well they have the stretchy gloves on haircoverings.com they call them magic gloves. These are an affordable alternative for them to wear to school or for a trip to the store. I got a different color for each of them to match their winter coats. I asked them to pose with them so you could see the different colors. This first pose was my idea.

It works, I mean you can see the colors and what the gloves look like. Then they insisted on their own pose. This is what we got with that, BOYS!:

They have lots of colors in these gloves as well as other types and styles of gloves. They have all kinds of hair accessories too from clips to bandanas to snoods. Their prices are really budget friendly but they also gave me a coupon code to share with you. Use coupon code: blogdec31 to save 20% off your order. This coupon expires 12/31/13.

Tasty Holiday Baking and Treats Without the Sugar

**I received a nunaturals review package for the review post. No other compensation has been received. Giveaway is sponsored by NuNaturals**

I did a holiday baking posts in the holiday guide already thanks to NuNaturals. I was able to make a cookie bar drastically reducing the sugar. NuNaturals NuStevia products let you sweeten you baking and drinks without the use of sugar. One of my fave products they have is the liquid stevia. So convenient to use in coffee, tea, homemade hot cocoa and more. Even add a couple drops to sweeten homemade syrups and glazes.

These convenient glass dropper bottles not only sweeten your drinks and baking but come in a variety of flavored and unflavored. NuNaturals just added more new flavors this year making it perfect for holiday baking and holiday drinks. Vanilla of course goes with many things but another fave of mine is the lemon flavor. Great for adding just a hint of sweetness and lemon to your water or tea. Also good for sweetening a lemon glaze for cakes.

NuNaturals offers other healthier baking options too like the NuNatural baking blend, Oatfiber, and other baking additives and sweetener alternatives. Use coupon code: BLG1213 to save 15% off your order to NuNaturals.com until December 31, 2013. They also have recipes available on the site for many of their products.

Get a Bright Smile for New Year’s with Smile Brilliant

I’m a coffee drinker and I do like my occasional Coca-cola. Unfortunately those to things contribute to a less the white smile for me. I’ve tried white strips, whitening toothpastes and mouth washes, and a couple other things. They all work fine. I had heard about using LED lighting though to accelerate the whitening process and had always wanted to try it.

Smile Brilliant offers just that in an easy to use home whitening kit with an LED light device.

The kit comes with a tube of whitening gel with an attached brush to paint the whitening gel on. It comes with a rubber mouth guard to put over your teetch and the LED light device, and an instruction sheet.

One thing I wanted to point out is that when you first open your kit it tells you about opening up your LED light device to remove a disc in order for it to work. Initially I wasn’t sure what they were talking about but I took the batteries out and it was underneath all the batteries. It was kind of hard to see at first but one you remove this and put the batteries back, you’re good to go.

It was easy to use the pen to brush the whitening gel onto my teeth. You have the option to use the LED light for 20-45 minutes. I was able to hold it in my mouth as I did other things. Admittedly, it looked kind of silly but if it works..

I used it for the minimum 20 minutes each time. It says you can continue to leave the whitening gel on with the mouth guard for additional time without the LED light if you prefer. I started to see subtle results after the first use. By the second use I definitely noticed a white smile.

Carmex Moisture Plus Limited Edition Collection

**I received the below mentioned products as part of the Carmex Blog Squad. Giveaway is sponsored by Carmex. No other compensation has been received. Any opinions expressed are my own**

Winter time is a time for me to add to my daily routine. By this time it is now a daily routine to apply lotion and lip balm lest I want my skin to drive me crazy and be self conscious about my dry lips. Using Carmex products has a certain nostalgia for me. My grandmother used to use it and I don’t know what it is, but I love the smell of it. Just because it’s been around since 1937, doesn’t mean it has to look like it.

This year Carmex is offering the Carmex Moisture Plus sticks in 4 graphically-printed lip balms, each with it’s own personality.

These slim designer sticks can easily fit into a purse, pocket, or backpack. So which of these fit your personality? If you’re not sure you can take the quiz at: http://mycarmex.com/uniquelyyou/ I did, it said my style is: Chic I was kinda leaning towards that anyway and actually you can see that’s the one I opened to try right away in the pictures. I love the classics. I love the style of people like the Duchess Kate and Victoria Beckham, modest beauty. The other designs are really cool though. Your personality might be Fab, Whimsical, Adventurous, or Chic.

If I were to create my own personality sticks I’d love to see a Rock Princess personality maybe black with cute little skulls with a pink bow on it. Or maybe Glam with some rhinestones on it. I’d love those too. I’m classic most the time but when I want to step it up a notch I go to one of those fashion personalities.

These sticks are perfect for moisturizing but they also have spf 15 to protect your lips as well. These sleek and stylish tubes would fit nicely into a Christmas stocking or gift basket.
