AVEENO has been promoting their Be an Active Natural program for over a year now.  Encouraging people to be active in helping the environment and living an active healthy lifestyle.  Along with this idea they are offering the Be an Active Natural Fund (BAAN fund), to help support those that are leading community projects that help others in need, educate on a healthy lifestyle, and give back to the environment.

You can enter to win 1 of 8 $10,000 grants that will be awarded in 2012 to those that are creating healthier change in one of 3 ways:
-INSPIRE–inspiring others to see their natural and inner beauty
-EDUCATE–educate others about the benefits and values of a healthy lifestyle
-PRESERVE–Preserving, restoring, and improving the local environment

As an example Janice Fuld is an Active Natural.  AVEENO worked with the NYC local to reward her for the amazing work she does in her community.

Normally when I buy costumes it’s for the kids.  Dressing up can be fun though.  I always say I’m going to dress up for Halloween but Halloween comes and goes and guess what?  I never do.  Costumes just aren’t for Halloween though.  Costumes can be fun any time.  Yes even for us adults.

How about a costume for your summer luau?  What about throwing a costumes party just because?  Or how about getting something sexy and fun to where for your significant other?

I had the opportunity to review a sexy costume from CostumeDiscounters.com.  Choosing a costume was hard.  There was so many different categories and nice selection.  Since it was a sexy costume I had my hubby help me pick one out.  His choice?  Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.  Who knew?

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

What is a HoodiePet?  Well I’m about to tell you.  It’s where clothing meets toy.   The Hoodiepet is a soft and warm hoodie made with 100% polyester for the outer shell and 100% cotton for the lining.  These hoodies are so warm and comfortable on their own but there is another element that will be sure to make it your child’s (or your) favorite hoodie.  You can choose a Hoodie Pet animal for your hoodie.  I have a picture of my son wearing his so you can picture what I’m talking about here.

At first I thought “man these sleeves are aweful long” then I realized when looking at the sleeves that they’re meant to be long.  Both sleeves have a thumb hole so the sleeve covers part of the hand.  

The little Hoodie Pet animal I was talking about, you choose which HoodiePet you’d like.  Mix and match hoodie colors with different pets online and see which one you like the best.  The little HoodiePet animal is attached with velcro and can actually be a finger/hand puppet.  It is made of 100% polyester.  When your child is done playing with their HoodiePet they can easily velcro their buddy right back onto their hoodie. The HoodiePet animals are interchangeable.

HoodiePets are machine washable or you can wipe it off with a damp cloth.  Each HoodiePet also comes with a friend code.  Enter the friend code on HoodiePet.com and get info about your HoodiePet animal, print out coloring sheets for your HoodiePet, and print out an adoption certificate.  HoodiePets are made in the USA.

You can pick your hoodie color and pick the HoodiePet you like.  They even have them in adult sizes!  You can buy your HoodiePet now at HoodiePet.com

Are you familiar with Diamond Candles?  Diamond Candles are soy candles but with a twist.  Each candle contains a ring that has of value of anywhere from $10 to $5000!  I’ve personally had a couple of these candles.  They have a great scent.  I’ve only had the $10 rings in mine but they were actually quite nice considering.
